I, as a multidimensional being existing in an infinite number of dimensions, am intimately connected to these other aspects of my higher self, which reside in these other levels of reality.  Communication between these individual yet interconnected consciousnesses is always occuring, but usually unconsciously, or consciously in alternate states of consciousness, such as in the dream state, out of body, or during trance.  This is known as channeling.  This is usually initiated by a more consciously-advanced aspect of my inner being, and yet it most importantly requires my part in the connection, for I must be at a level of consciousness aware enough to be capable of receiving the energy, where as the more advance consciousness will usually always be at this level.

The purpose for this communication is the advancement of the consciousnesses of the individuals involved to new levels of awareness, understanding, and creative expression, this being the purpose for existence.  This experience is not limited to humans, or my present level of consciousness.  Just as higher aspects of my being communicate to me, these more advanced aspects receive guidance from aspects even more developed and aware than themselves, and this channeling process most likely continues into infinity.  

Guidance may be received via dream symbols, telepathy, or sudden bursts of insight or new perceptions, and it is the syncronicity which follows these experiences in my physical reality which confirms the reality of this guidance and its source.  Communication also takes place in levels so far removed from normal waking consciousness that recall is nearly impossible.  There is usually a strong feeling lingering within me after such an experience, a feeling of knowing something extremely important, and yet not being able to verbalize or translate the experience to a physical level.  In cases such as this, the knowledge will usually be unconsciously utilized in my daily experience.

Dude, well said. You are describing exactly what I believe to be true, at least from the direction of my own rather small sampling of experiences. This is not an easy thing to describe to others. I am amazed that you did it.

love, blink

We do have a tendency to define our universe through our physical senses, but how it expands whenwe use or non-physical senses as well, simultaneously, even.

After I read "Conversations with God" (Book 1) and closed the book I continued to hear it (guidance) in my head. Like asking to the Universe, "Are you there, Highest Self?" and hearing back, clearly, both in your non-physical ears and heart, "Yes, I am always here." It is not whether this guidance speaks to everyone, but whether they listen. Often we do not.

Afterall, this was the so-called "good news" of the message of Jeshua: not that you WILL have the Kingdom of Heaven, but that you DO NOW, and ALWAYS HAVE, ALWAYS WILL! Go figure.

At this point in my spiritual expansion I cannot imagine not listening to my guidance, and ask for a response frequently. It always comes, sometimes in music, sometimes in "coincidence", sometimes in the look from the dog. If you listen, it will come.

Right on, OoBD!
