Quote:Another is, from my own experiences, I know that when I nonphysically travel, wherever I am very fully acutely consciously focused, that place becomes "physical" to me. It feels physical in every way. It all depends on how narrowly focused I am there. (There are, too, nonphysical experiences that don't feel physical). So, in a way, it might be easy to deduce that that is why physical reality, too, feels physical to us. Because we are fully acute consciously focused here in this area of consciousness. As a whole, we tend to give physical reality the credit of being a place that actually exists all on its own accord, and we just happen to be dropping by for a lifetime enjoying it here. However, my belief is that this physical reality only exists because we make it exist, by our conscious awareness, belief, want, need, desire, etc. It is here because of us, not for us. Anyone have any thoughts on that line of thinking?

Hi Vicky and all,
I think you’re right on with what you say here.
Nothing is separated. We are individual consciousness within the whole of consciousness with the capability of consciously changing our focus by using our intent and freewill. Consider the possibility that what we call BST are really other worlds similar to earth. Right now our primary focus is ELS, yet we can during oobe, dreams, meditation, NDE, etc. change our perspective to focus on other realities that appear just as real as ELS. As you say when our intent is “fully acutely consciously focused” we experience these other physical systems to be just as physical as ELS. All we really did was change our focused consciousness from one physical world to another physical world. All physical worlds are really belief systems with just as much variation as ELS. Hence the reason everyone comes up with so many interpretations of what they see and interact with.
Also as you mentioned when we’re not quite as fully focused then these other worlds that are just as physical as ELS appear to be non-physical. In actuality everything is illusory in the sense that it is all in our mind, our consciousness. It’s all subjective to our personal consciousness. The only absolute that truly exists is God consciousness of which we are an individual aspect.
If the purpose of our existence is for the evolution of consciousness, then I’d say physical reality has evolved just as all other physical realities have evolved for us to further evolve not only our personal consciousness, but also to affect the greater whole of consciousness. What better scenario would give us greater learning experience than one that provides opportunity for cause and effect with feedback?
Say for example our evolutionary purpose is to grow in love. In ELS we’re learning about unconditional love by our experience of duality, which evolves meaning by a feedback process for the benefit of our individual consciousness. Perhaps as we grow toward and understand unconditional love our consciousness changes and our “being” actually becomes a purer love that radiates out to others in the form of a feeling. It’s interesting to think about the interconnectivity of us all and the possibility that all of our individual consciousnesses could eventually grow enough to radiate pure love throughout the whole of consciousness or at least in our interconnected web of this universe.
