I'm on page 133 of The Unobstructed Universe, the 3rd read through. A method of reading is to focus on a sentence to gain understanding and let the mind go blank. Then I find understanding. it is the antithesis of speed reading but satisfying. Especially so, if I sleep on it.
The general consensus so far, from Betty, Stewart's now spirit partner and former wife, and this working with Darby and Joan, another couple (Joan is channelling Betty) from this 1940 compilation of a description of nonphysical reality is:
Here, in physical reality we have space with designated obstructions, such as planets, etc. On the other side of it we define it as unobstructed space and call this Orthic, or True Space. Although there are no obstructions, there are POINTS.
The literature calls for getting "a feel" for Orthic space, before gathering an intellectual basis. Sound familiar? Yes, I recall Bruce's books admonishing to get a "feel" before exploring.
Betty quote: No sense of space. I'm just there.
my comment: Sounds exactly like phasing. An act of skipping the preliminary activity of going thru the focus levels to get there.
We've already established a "feel" for sideral or clock time, time as we understand it Here; the feel for that can be called psychological time..to say, time has gone by without an awareness it has gone by, such as when having fun, it goes by quickly, when not having fun, time drags. that is like psychological time. It is a feeling or sense. Harder to do is getting a "feel" for Space on the other side.
Now we get "a feel" for a space which has the 3rd component of movement, or Orthic movement, to say, Betty calls it movement, frequency. This feel of movement is a definite feature of my own OBE's which establishes my lucidity immediately. Yet movement is very subtle when the phasing occurs as opposed to the OBE feeling of speed.
We'll talk about frequency (time) a little later. Today we get a feel for Orthic space, or to say Conductivity of consciousness, and we conclude, although there are no obstructions of a physical nature on the other side, there are points to move towards and between.
I would call these points in the unobstructed universe the various focus levels Monroe introduced.
