A few days ago, my guide Aurora told me that I was beginning a new phase.  I had been using Mr. Moen's methods to provide psychic readings and communicate with deceased loved ones with great success.  I was curious as to what this new phase held, and it made me a little nervous.

Later that day, I was at work, doing what human beings do to pay the bills these days, when Aurora began talking non-stop.  Not really talking in the verbal sense, more like bits of "knowledge" were coming from her mouth.  This is the first time I have dealt with non-verbal communication in such a way that I am unable to describe things in human-words. 

Now, this was very strange.  Normally I have to make a bit of an effort to contact Aurora-- getting into a relaxed state and focusing my non-physical senses and all that jazz.  Once in a while she popped into my head, but this time she pretty much just... intruded.  That's a sinister word and I don't mean that but it's what it felt like!

Something very, very weird started happening.  It felt like a hole opened in my head and knowledge began pouring in.  What kind of knowledge?  I'm not sure, I think it will take a while to work through all that I have received, much like Monroe took a while to unravel big thought-balls.  It was overwhelming.  It felt like giving birth in reverse, and perhaps that's kind of what it was...  It wasn't a physical pain, more like a strong mental discomfort, like remembering the pain of a past injury.  Thank goodness I was not interacting with the public at that time, I would have been too distracted.

I felt like I needed time to myself.  I went to the bathroom and began to relax and empty my mind.  I used my non-physical senses to get in touch with Aurora.  I became completely absorbed in the non-physical happenings that unfolded-- part of me was aware that I had a body sitting on a toilet, and once in a while I took note of my physical body, but for the most part my attention was elsewhere.  While it is difficult to put into words, I will do my best.  Here is what happened:

Aurora is standing next to me in the darkness.  "What's this about?" I asked.

"It's the start of your new phase," she said.  "You're ready now."

I paused for a moment, wondering what I should do.  Then, I realized...  "Can you take me to my I/There?" I asked.

"Yes."  She took my hand and I felt the sensation of movement.  After a few moments I was standing before my I/There, in awe.  It appeared to me in a way that resonated deeply with me in ways that I cannot fully explain.  Nevertheless, I will try.

My Disk was a night sky.  A round blob of night-sky, with arms and disembodied eyes.  The stars inside were other aspects of myself.  The energy emanating from I/There was that of a stern but loving father.  I really can't put what followed in question-answer format because it was more like an instantaneous telepathic link.  My I/There gave me several revelations that I'm still trying to comprehend:

My Guide, Aurora, is not a non-physical Disk member as I previously thought.  Rather, Aurora is a red-headed woman living in the Pacific Northwest (Seattle?).  She works in or near a coffee shop.  She studied something like Biology in college but never put it to use.  My Guide is a Mind-Split of this other physical life I am currently living.  I felt oddly drawn to the Pacific Northwest when I was younger, and I feel that Aurora is oddly drawn to New England, where I live, the same way.  I wish I could find Aurora in the physical.

One of my friends and co-workers is my "sister," a member of my Disk.  I was also shown a friend who was a "brother" in my Disk.  I was told that I moved to Maine to be with my Disk members.

I asked my I/There what this new phase was.  He/I said that it was The Awakening.  Not sure what this means.

I asked about a previous life I didn't know about.  I was then an old seafarer standing on the deck of a ship.  It was a night time, and it was raining.  I was told that I died by drowning, and that is why I had a fear of the ocean when I was younger.

I fell into a bad habit-- I began to second-guess all of this.  What if this is all my imagination?  I'm such a fool, sitting on a toilet and daydreaming about all this nonsense!

Aurora called me Second-Guesser.  It was a tease, but it was an important one.  It allowed me to push my doubt away. 

I tried to "step into" my Disk to talk with different aspects but was unable.  Aurora said I wasn't ready.  Ah, Aurora, are you really another person out there right now...? 

I've made several limited contacts with my I/There since this first encounter.  But I don't really learn anything new... I need time to think.  To understand. 

A few short months ago, I was an atheist who had recently abandoned Christianity.  If you had told me then that I would be seeing things like this...  Wow. 

"I asked my I/There what this new phase was.  He/I said that it was The Awakening.  Not sure what this means."

Hi eric and thanks for writing this, I love stories about meeting the bigger self. There are a few extensions of an I-There that meet inside the I-There for a very special purpose that is your revelation to unwrap. Maybe Aurora is one of them who you'll meet with inside. If I remember right I think Monroe's label for these members was ex-com. If you're familiar with Monroe's focus levels, going to focus 12 and locating your spirit energy and then go inside the mini-blob is one way of going inside the I-There. If you're not ready it does sound like you are very close to being ready.

Glad you didn't let doubts get in the way, and congratulations! A new phase indeed.

What an awesome experience!  An interesting parallel that I will share: during one of my out of body experiences I commanded to "go to" my Higher Self, and the next thing I knew I was flying up into a majestic night sky full of an unearthly amount of breathtaking stars, some of ridiculous sizes, and realized that what I was seeing was actually soul clusters!  Of course, the sky didn't have arms and eyes, and I wasn't sitting on a toilet either! LOL

I am familiar with the focus levels, however I have never made it past Focus 10.  Thank goodness for the focused attention method!  I've been told that I'm not ready to advance past Focus 10 yet, but I feel that will be changing soon.   :)
