by White Feather Before we entered physicality, we were spiritual entities. An entity is an individual piece of God. The original All
That Is, or the original creator of our universe, or the original one-ness, or God, was a bored and lonely God, who split
itself up into many, many pieces. This gave that original God, not only companionship, but a way to experience the universe
it created. The plan called for each of these entities to INDIVIDUATE into their own fully-realized Gods, capable of all things
the original God was capable of. This original God did not just want entities that it could lord over. It wanted Gods that
it could co-create with. So this original God split itself into many, many pieces, and each of those pieces (entities) began
the long and arduous process of INDIVIDUATION. The process of individuation calls for knowing the universe and knowing the
self, so these entities spent a few gazillion years joyriding the universe, checking out every nook, cranny, and quasar. The
process of individuation cannot be complete, however, until the entity experiences physicality. After all, physicality is
part of the universe just like all the other dimensions. This was the tricky part of the individuation process. Luckily, there
was a certain planet designed specifically to facilitate this portion of the individuation process. It is a very magnetic
planet that eventually draws to it every entity that is ready to finish the individuation process. It is called planet Earth.
When the first entities came to this wondrous planet, they realized that they could not just step into the physicality
of the planet, because they needed a physical vehicle in which to hold the entity, and there were no physical vehicles available
that could hold the grandness of an entity. So the first part of the process of stepping into physicality was to create these
vehicles. The creation of these vehicles had to be carried out within physicality and its fundamental laws of duality. This
meant that the necessary vehicles could not be poofed into existence, but they had to be evolved. A vehicle capable of holding
a fully-realized entity could only be created through an extended process of evolution. This process has taken many gazillions
of earth years, although to the entities, it seemed like just a few minutes.
Linear time as we experience it here
in physicality does not exist outside of that physicality. It is unique to our dimension. Outside of physicality, there is
only the ETERNAL NOW. (Actually, there is a sort of universal time, as measured by the in-breath and out-breath of God, but
it is so expansive as to be almost unfathomable. In universal time, the entire history of planet earth takes about three minutes.)
Time, as we know it, does not exist. There is no time, only space. (And the Eternal Now.) What do gods do? They create. In
order to create something, you need space in which to create it. Within physicality, in order to create something, you have
got to grow it. A sculptor does not just poof his work of art into existence. He starts with basic materials, then sculpts
and shapes those materials into the vision of the end product. For this, the sculptor needs a lot of space. He needs a space
for the basic materials to be in, and he needs a space for each of the successive stages of the sculpture to be in. The barely-started
sculpture is in one space, the half-finished sculpture is in a different space, the almost-finished sculpture is in another
space, and the finished work of art is in yet another different space. The attempt to link together all these spaces is what
we call time.
In order to create the perfect vehicle, an entity needs a whole lot of space. Like the sculptor,
the entity needs a space for the material to be gathered, spaces for each phase the vehicle goes through in its creation,
a space for the finished product, and then also a space for the finished product and the entity that created it to merge and
become one. So the entity proceeded to lay out all these thousands of spaces, and then proceeded to put a little bit of itself
into each space. Remember, the entity is operating from out in universal space where there is no time. It is entering all
these spaces simultaneously. Since it had to create a vehicle, the entity had to split itself into thousands of pieces and
put a piece in each one of these spaces, or phases of evolution. The entity also kept a portion of itself out in universal
space in order to oversee the whole process. This portion sees the whole process as happening lickety split. The portions
that were split off and put into a particular space no longer see the perspective of that part of the entity that is still
in universal space. It sees everything from the perspective of the space it was put in. Each one of these spaces can be called
a past, present, or future life (depending from which space you are looking). To the part of the entity still out in universal
space, it is all happening at the same time. Some entities have as many as 40,000 spaces in physicality in which they have
put a part of themselves. (40,000 past, present, and future lives!) The average is far less than that, though.
To
the entity, it seems like it is creating one body and it doesn't take long at all. It merely has to split itself up into
thousands of pieces (while keeping a portion of itself outside of physicality), live each one of those lives (simultaneously),
and then, almost poof-like, a vehicle has been created that can hold an entity. (The sculptor steps into the sculpture.) And
stepping into that sculpture is the next step, but that is the subject for another discourse.
Time is a biological
function. Our bodies work on time, but our spirit does not. When we see things from the perspective of our bodies, we are
limited to seeing things from the space that body happens to be in. From that perspective, everything seems chronological
since we have been using the process of birth, growth, and death (the medium in which we are sculpting) in our process of
evolution. When we see things form the perspective of our spirit, everything is happening RIGHT NOW! It is just happening
in many different places by many different parts of the same entity.
Now, Joe Newage sitting in his home in the
year 2000, reading the White Feather Forum on the internet, may have had a 'past-life' as a glassblower in 15th century
Florence, but he is not the same person as that glassblower. He is, however, a part of the same entity
that that glassblower is a part of. This is an important distinction. You see, neither Joe nor the glassblower are capable
of fully holding that part of the entity that is in their respective spaces. Since those parts of the entity cannot fully
inhabit the bodies of either Joe or the Italian glassblower, what is happening in their respective spaces is an interaction
between spirit and flesh. In the space where these two forces interface, something is created that I will call a psyche. This
psyche can be called the self, or the person we are in a given space. Since the psyche is a product of the interfacing of
spirit and a certain body (space), and since every space and everybody is different, so, too, is every psyche different. The
entity, however, remains the same.
