There Are Dimensions to This Existence That Aren’t Always Obvious
An elevated consciousness teaches you this.
When I’m meditating, different dimensions of this existence seem to open up to me. Parts of reality that somehow we usually miss are more apparent. Sometimes we get this sense from dreams as well. I get swirling sensations and feel like I'm looking into galaxies. Or I’ll be plunged through a tunnel. Do you have these experiences, too?
Reality is not as it seems. We create the world we perceive, and there are parts of our existence that aren’t physical. All physical things are really just energy and the universe is created with vibrations. Let me explain.
Layers of Consciousness
You’re not purely physical. When we close our eyes and focus inward, we can sometimes remove our consciousness from the feeling of being tethered to a body altogether. It becomes obvious that we are primarily consciousness.
The ancient Vedic texts tell us that there are nine layers of existence, divided into the body, mind, and soul. Your mental and spiritual levels of existence are no less “real” than your physical level. You’re a spirit that has manifested into a body. Or maybe you’re a body that manifested a spirit?
Either way, there are parts of you that you normally don’t notice.
Energy and Vibrations
The world is made up of energy. Your mind is energy and so is your body. Quantum physics tells us this. We don’t usually perceive it, but there are tiny vibrations and particles that pervade existence. Spinning atoms make up everything that exists around us.
I say that we usually don’t perceive it because, sometimes, I think I do. Of course, it sounds crazy, but when I am meditating, sometimes I find myself spinning in full force. There’s nothing anyone can say to convince me that I am not really spinning. To me, this means that some part of us is always spinning, but I just had to settle my consciousness into that level of reality in order to feel it.
Maybe we appear solid but in fact, we are in such imperceptibly fast (or slow?) motion that we totally miss it altogether. In fact, motion in the way we know it…
