On Core Self and the Structures of Reality Ibiru: The Core Self, the Self you remember experiencing yourself as being during the between-lives state, contains within it all possibilities. There is no judgement of these possibilities. On this level, compassion and love are expressed in the ultimate freedom of all beings to choose for themselves how they will act and what kinds of realities they will live in. It is at this level that each of us chooses to Be. Beginning with the first emanation from the Core Self - the Archetype - we begin the process of choosing which realities, out of all the infinite possibilities available to us, we will express. The Archetype is the first subset of Being, and the one that contains all other subsets. From this point of almost infinite dimensions we progress further and further "out" from center. In doing so we decrease the numbers of dimensions of which we remain conscious. For example, a one dimensional being exists as a subset of two dimensional reality. The one dimensional reality is contained within the two dimensional. Just so, two dimensional beings and realities are subsets of three dimensional reality, contained within it. This continues until we are back at the Core Self, which contains all dimensions and realities. As we move into the larger dimensions, the degree of integration increases. All of the smaller dimensions become integrated into a dimension that both contains them and is much more than the sum of its parts. Samantha: I spoke with Gordon this morning about these things, as best as I understood them, and he brought up the issue of compassion, love and ethics. How do these fit in? Ibiru: You already understand some of the answers to that. On the level of the Core Self, compassion and love are expressed by allowing all possibilities to exist without interference. This is the Tao. All things rise and fall. That is the nature of the Ultimate, and without it freedom could not exist on any level. As soon as you enter into the dimensions of Being, beginning with the Archetype, primal compassion and love are expressed in terms of the experience level of that dimension. In the three dimensional + one reality in which you live, certain acts are considered good and others bad, to put it simplistically. Learning to choose experiences and act in ways that promote happiness, balance and awareness are the things you seek to learn. And you do this by paying attention to how different things, different acts and attitudes, actually play out in your life. If you did not have the freedom to do this, even though some of what you experience may be horrendous, you would never move beyond three dimensional awareness. And you would never become a conscious Core Self, a god. And that is what this is all about. You are all gods-becoming. You choose your ethics, you moral standards, based both on experience and dream. As you move into larger realities, the ethics you develop and have now will become a subset in an ethic that is formed from the perspective of experiencing a larger reality. If you have, say, compassion for others as a part of your present ethical standard now, you will still have that as a larger dimensional being. But it will be different, because the reality you see and experience will encompass a vastly larger set of possibilities. Because your perspective will be larger and more inclusive, you will see relationships between cause and effect in a different light. Perhaps what you think of as a cause in 3D would not appear to be so in 6D. Your compassion is just as real, but it is expressed differently based on different information. Samantha: So, if I understand you correctly, an action that might seem compassionate from a 3D point of view may not necessarily be so from a 6D point of view. But I still wonder how to go about expanding into a 6D reality, consciously and while I am still alive in 3D+1. Ibiru: Experiencing what you did last night is a step in that direction. When you prayed and asked to be helped to EXPERIENCE, and not just know about, your Core Self reality, you opened yourself up to a few moments of truly COMPREHENDING and EXPERIENCING the equanimity of experience. You FELT the truth of "all things rise and fall in the Tao." You are now different than you were before this. You are a step closer to moving into 6D reality. And this is the key. It is not enough to simply think about all kinds of wonderful and spiritual things. It is not enough to have faith. To all of this you must add the willingness and the resolve to experience it all. All that are required for expansion into higher and more integrated dimensions are: 1) A willingness to ask impossible questions 2) A willingness to hear impossible answers 3) A willingness and resolve to experience everything you can, including the impossible 4) A willingness to trust your instincts and impulses 5) A willingness to learn whatever you need As you move into higher dimensions, you will take with you all that you were. In other words, your 3D+1 self will translate over to your 6D self and be a subset of expanded Self. You will let go of behaviors and attitudes that do not make sense to you anymore, but the self that you are and all that you have learned will be an integral part of your larger self. One way to look at it is this: When you went from first grade to second grade in school, the first grade person and lessons did not disappear. They did become a smaller part of the larger second grader, whose experiences expanded with her knowledge and maturity. But you do not recall this as something that you deliberately did. This was a natural progression of events. Just so, going from 3D to 6D is natural and normal. The same qualities I listed above were also true of the little girl who went from grade to grade and grew up. Samantha: Thanks, Ibiru. I think my head is going to explode now. Ibiru: I understand. Eat breakfast. We will discuss impossible things again later.
