Entering the Portal of Spiritual Awareness

We want to take you once more "behind the scenes" of your inner world
to give you a glimpse of the role played by your higher self and its
complement of "past and future life selves" in your present-moment
existence.

Before we proceed with this discussion, we will explain how past and
future lives operate in general. The merging of the conscious self
with the higher self is generally a slow process over time, but due to
the shifting currents within your world, there is now a "fast
tracking" of growth for many awakening souls. This is a process that
can throw the conscious existence into something akin to a physical
"detox" state.

The Role of Your Higher Self

Your higher self is your council of advisers. This council is
comprised of all the "selves" you have been or will be with all the
wisdom, knowledge and experience they have amassed. Your higher self
resides in the realm of your subconscious mind. To be able to access
your inner council at will, you must learn to navigate the emotional
level that bridges conscious and subconscious minds. For many in your
world, crossing this bridge from conscious to subconscious mind is an
arduous task. This task may feel to some along the lines of a lifelong
city dweller who travels alone through a dense jungle. This journey
inevitably calls forth many deep-seated fears of unknown dangers and
life-threatening encounters. Many of these fears reside within
cellular memory and collective consciousness.

In order to navigate the emotional level at will, you will need to
work through unresolved emotional issues. Once you navigate the
jungle of unresolved emotions, you can reliably travel into your
subconscious mind to commune with your higher self. As you come into
greater communion with your higher self, you are able to access the
wisdom of your inner council of past and future selves.

The Gifts of Spiritual Communion

Communing with your higher self also helps you access the talents,
skills and abilities of your other "selves." It is when an individual
joins forces with their "selves" across time that an Einstein or a
Mozart is born. Each soul is unto themselves an entire spiritual
community comprised of all the selves that make up their past and
future incarnations. When the "self" who is currently incarnated
becomes over-identified with physical reality, they tend to lose touch
with the spiritual community of their inner homeland. This is much
like the individual who migrates to a country far from where they were
born and loses touch with his or her family of origin. For these
individuals, life is burdened with a sense of loss and longing that
over time can erode the flow of life force energy.

The greatest joy an awakening soul experiences is when they begin to
receive spontaneous communications from their other selves. There is
an immediate recognition akin to receiving a long letter from home
after years of isolation and silence. This is what happens when the
emotions are cleared sufficiently to allow communication with the
higher self. This is the essence of a spiritual awakening experience
that dramatically changes the present-moment life and begins to attune
consciousness with the spiritual destiny for the current lifetime.

Understanding Past and Future Lives

Before we move on in our discussion, we want to clear up the issue of
past and future life selves. While many are familiar with the concept
of past life selves, there is often less understanding of future life
selves. Both past and future life entities exist beyond the
boundaries of linear time. As present-life "veils" are removed, you
are able to access both past and future selves to the degree that such
access facilitates your spiritual growth. Both past and future selves
have valuable information to share with you, but you will not be able
to access this information until you come into resonance with it.

Your Present Moment is Holographic to All Incarnations

We now return to your present life, which is holographic in nature. A
single life is to the arc of lifetimes as a drop of water is to the
ocean. In this way, there is much you can learn about your past and
future life selves by developing awareness of the various parts of
your self that play a dominant role in your current life. At any
given time, according to your current needs and life circumstances, an
"aspect" of your higher self is informing and advising your conscious,
present-moment self. Many who are incarnated are not aware when these
changeovers in spiritual advisers take place, but they are often aware
when a sudden "change of heart" and change in direction takes place in
their lives.

If the present-moment consciousness is deeply identified with the
physical life and the aspect of self that is currently in charge of
the life, these changeovers in spiritual guidance can be dramatic.
This rigidity and resistance to change slows spiritual progress. Over
time, one of two scenarios takes place in a given life. In one
scenario, the conscious mind expands its spiritual awareness to more
readily adapt to these changeovers, surrendering to the need for
spiritual growth and communion. In the second scenario, the conscious
mind becomes increasingly resistant to spiritual progression. In this
instance, the soul begins to "phase out" the incarnation by slowly
cutting off the flow of life force to the body. This is why an
individual faced with a life-threatening illness sometimes awakens to
the need for spiritual growth and begins progressing again. At this
point, the soul often chooses to "re-instate" life force to the
incarnation. This is when remissions and "miracles" occur.

Embracing "Changeovers" in Spiritual Guidance

To be able to fulfill your life purpose of spiritual growth, it is
important to set your intention to welcome and embrace each new aspect
of "self" that comes into your life to guide and assist you to your
next stage of growth. You can begin a dialogue with each new guiding
entity to learn more about this past or future self's lifetime and
where they reside. These advising selves are aspects of your inner
spiritual community for the present lifetime, just as your past and
future life selves represent the spiritual community of your soul.
Each life mirrors all other lifetimes and contains within it the
possibility for inner communion and homecoming.

By entering the Portal of Spiritual Awareness, you are able to expand
your present-moment consciousness to welcome and embrace each aspect
of your higher self that arises in your life to guide you to the next
phase of spiritual understanding. In time, this intention to welcome
and embrace spiritual awareness bridges your present-moment
consciousness with your higher self, bringing you into direct
communion with your selves across all-time and all-that-is.
