Expanding Your Definition of the Present Moment By DL Zeta

Expanding Your Definition of the Present Moment(Accessing Fifth-Dimensional Consciousness, Part 10)When accessing fifth-dimensional consciousness, you may find it necessary to expand your definition of the present moment.  You have probably heard it said that the key to developing awareness is to "be here now."  Being present and awake within each moment is undeniably a major component of spiritual awareness.  We ask you now to take a step further to examine the scope of your "present moment."  Who are you within this moment?  Are you limited to what you see in front of you, or do you hold within your consciousness a vast repertoire of possibilities you can activate at any second?  Do you hold within you maps of consciousness that point to infinite locations and states you can access at will?  Do you feel your past (in this life and others) is inaccessible or do you feel connected to these past aspects and even assisted and supported by them?  Are you able to travel through the doorway of your imagination to visit your future and learn what you are creating in order to fine-tune your present moment?Does your present moment contain a doorway to an inner temple where you regularly commune with angels, guides and other aspects of your being, or does your present moment contain a barren, one-room shanty where you feel lonely and cut off from the rest of the universe and worse, from parts of yourself? The perception that your present moment is compartmentalized and shut off from both past and future limits your ability to access other aspects of your consciousness.  These aspects represent parts of you incarnated through time that can help you heal the past, design future realities, and access a wide range of latent skills and abilities.Each Moment Contains Infinite PossibilitiesWe have undertaken this discussion to bring focus to the infinite possibilities that exist within each moment.  It’s not enough to simply say, “Be here now.”  If a person's belief system isn’t sufficiently expanded, they will likely find the present moment to be rather dull and uninteresting.  When faced with residing solely within a lackluster “present moment,” many people create outer diversions, become thrill seekers and even develop addictions. Depending on a person's early programming and beliefs, they may extend this perception of emptiness to themselves, finding themselves lacking.  Many thrill seekers at the root feel themselves empty without a dust storm of activity swirling around them. They keep others at a distance, fearing they would perceive their emptiness if they got too close. This doesn’t have to be the case. Expanding your definition of the present moment can open a dazzling array of possibilities that will never leave you feeling bored, lacking, or empty.Steps to Expanding Your Present MomentA first step to expanding your definition of the present moment is to examine your present beliefs about who you are.  If you believe you're a vast, multidimensional being of infinite capabilities, you’re well on your way to expanding your present moment.  If, however, you believe your present physical reality is all you have and that you are limited to the information you’ve programmed into your personal CPU, your definition of the present moment could use some stretching.When you view the world through the eyes of spirit, it’s easy to see how each person is spirit incarnate.  Spirit, with its infinite nature, has the ability to be all places at all times.  The word “omniscient” is often used to describe this unlimited potential.  Some of you might say, “But this is the word we use to describe God.”  Now we are finally getting to the root of things.  Do you see God as separate from yourself or as a part of yourself?  We offer this holographic definition: you are to God as a drop of water is to the ocean.  A drop of water has the same properties as the ocean.  It is holographically the same as the ocean, just as you’re holographically the same as God and with the same properties and potentials. This is a second step in expanding your present moment – to see God, all-that-is - whatever word you choose to describe the infinite – as a part of you.You are an Omnipresent Spark of SpiritYou as an omnipresent spark of spirit have likely been incarnated hundreds and even thousands of times.  We say "likely" because some entities in this universe incarnate only on a few occasions and for specific purposes.  Younger souls have by definition experienced fewer incarnations than older souls.  (The fact that you're reading this says you’re an older soul).You have been incarnated in numerous timeframes throughout history, both past and future.  You may find it a stretch to contemplate the possibility that your spirit has incarnated into future timeframes.  You might wonder why a being who has experienced life in 2100 would choose to stage their next incarnation in 1950. There are reasons why an advanced soul chooses to incarnate into a "past" timeframe. We will speak more about this in the next segment of this series titled “Beings from the Future.”  For now, we will simply say that you have been incarnated in the past and that you likely have been or will be incarnated in future times on planet Earth or elsewhere.  You are Simultaneously Incarnated throughout TimeThere is no “time” in the expanded concept of the universe. All your incarnations are occurring simultaneously in various realities.  If you had a lifetime in Egypt in 550 AD, that “you” is still alive and well in its own energetic coordinate in the universe.  Likewise, if a future “you” is incarnated in the year 2550 on your home planet of Betelgeuse, that being is alive and well within its own energetic timeframe.  Some incarnations are closer energetic matches to your present moment than others. These other “yous” are creating other experiences and understandings in their own timeframes, but they still hold various levels of resonance to the “you” that exists in your present moment.Your higher self is in tune with all these various incarnations occurring simultaneously. It is by tuning in to your higher self that you learn about these other “yous” incarnated throughout time. As you learn about them, you can choose to visit them in consciousness. In this way, you are able to share information, knowledge and skills. It is by learning about and connecting with these other “yous” that you are able to come more fully into latent talents and abilities. A Mozart or Einstein is not created in one lifetime. True genius develops over an arc of lifetimes and culminates in a timeframe where the individual is able to merge with other aspects of themselves to consolidate understandings and abilities honed throughout time.Charting a Map of your ConsciousnessWhen an idea, thought, vision or sensation flashes across the horizon of your present moment, it can originate from within your present moment or from any of your other "incarnated aspects" with which you have suddenly come into heightened resonance.  Such momentary flashes occur all the time.  Not only are you able to spontaneously enter into closer range with your other "aspects," you are also able to access them at will.  To do this, you will need to begin a process of consciousness mapping to identify the incarnational aspects most strongly aligned with your present lifetime.  You can begin a consciousness mapping process by closely examining your present moment, which is a hologram of your entire being. Every facet of your present reality points to a specific aspect of your being that exists elsewhere “in time.”  You meet these other aspects of yourself every day – nightly, in dreams, in daydreams, or whenever you encounter a new person or new situation with which you strongly resonate. There are aspects of your consciousness you know well.  You may be very familiar with your nurturing self, your musical self, your creative self, but have little experience with your scientific self, your healer self or your inventor self.  One day you may find yourself suddenly fascinated with healing and feel healing energy surging in your hands.  This is a moment when you come into closer range with your healer self.  As you add these new selves to the map of your consciousness, they become like phone numbers or hyper text links connecting you with other realities where other “yous” exist in other timeframes.Projecting Your Consciousness to Other LocationsEach person is able to project their consciousness to any desired location in time and space. You can project your consciousness to a point in the past where you are able to view past events from an expanded perspective.  Seeing an old situation in a new and expanded way helps you "see-through" any emotional densities you may have assigned to events at a time when your understandings were not as great as they are now.  As you continue to expand spiritually, you can extend your consciousness into other locations in time and space.  The possibilities are endless and only limited by the scope of your imagination.You can visit another location on Earth, another location anywhere in the universe and at any point in time - past or future.  Once you have projected your consciousness into a location, it becomes a point on the map of your consciousness you can return to. Your travels in consciousness become part of your memory field. These “memories” are as real as any others; they are part of who you are.Being able to project your consciousness into a much larger perspective is emotionally freeing.  That is because you are able to see the bigger picture of what is happening at the moment.  Stepping beyond the confines of your physical existence allows you to see the interconnectedness of all things.  Any time you are able to shift from the small picture of what you are experiencing to the larger picture, you are able to understand the meaning of what is happening. When you can project your consciousness into the bigger picture, you make decisions from a broader framework.When you project your consciousness into the point on the map where you are creating your future, you are able to make conscious adjustments in your present efforts.  It is not that you are creating new spaces in consciousness; you're simply stretching into more of what is already there.  Just as the map is not the road, your current understandings and the points on the map you have discovered so far are not the totality of your consciousness.  Your experiences are points on the map of your infinite consciousness.  Discovering and Healing Past TraumasAs you learn to chart and access other aspects of yourself, you may become aware of inner wounds you have carried over into your present lifetime.  You’re able to track through time to other “yous” still experiencing traumatic or troubling events. These other “yous” experiencing trauma broadcast signals through time that you continuously pick up on until you heal the wound within yourself.  It is by coming into awareness of these other “yous” that you are able to free your spirit from past events and gain the understandings you were seeking by creating the original events. Visiting a Future CreationJust as you can heal your past within your present moment, you can also visit your future to gain important knowledge and information. You do this by looking at your dreams and visions of what you want to create in this lifetime.  Track your intended creations into the future to witness their arrival in physical reality.  You do this through the eyes of future “yous” within this lifetime.  This allows you to fine-tune your creations and learn from the aspects of yourself who have completed the experiences that are “in progress” within your present moment.  You can learn how to live your life right now by visiting your last day on Earth in this lifetime.  During this visit, you may receive information of important undertakings that might be left undone if you stay on your present course.  In this way, you are able to make course adjustments now.  You can also visit your next lifetime to see what will be "carried over" from this lifetime that you could clear up and resolve now.Experiencing Vertical TimeMost people tend to think of moments as happening in a horizontal or “linear” fashion. But there is another way to experience moments. You might think of this as “vertical time.” In vertical time, you may experience a week that feels like a year of “linear” time.  One way to experience vertical time is to step outside of time. You do this by removing your conscious focus from the space/time continuum to effectively "step outside of time" into the world of no-time. This is the timeless dimension of spirit where you become a time traveler visiting your past and future to discover your spiritual destiny. By traveling through time to your past, you are able to bring about healing and release for the parts of your spirit trapped in time by emotional traumas and other misunderstandings. Releasing your past frees trapped energy that becomes available to empower your present moment. It is this process of retrieving your soul in all the places where it is held that frees your consciousness and allows your complete focus in the present moment. This complete focus allows you to discover and fulfill your spiritual purpose and destiny.An empowered present-moment self is able to travel to your future to commune with your future self and discover who you are becoming and what you came here to do. By merging with your future "self," you are able to view the fruits of your present creations and make course corrections if you don't like what you see. The Doorway of the ImaginationYour ability to expand your present moment is largely dependent on your willingness to travel through the doorway of your imagination.There is a thoughtform on earth that whatever resides in the realm of the imagination is "not real" or "made up."  Those who belittle the workings of the imagination are limiting themselves to a purely physical-based existence.The imagination is the doorway to true spiritual liberation and transcendence. It is the imagination that expands the consciousness into new realms and thoughtforms that effectively create new pathways in the mind and spirit.The person who cultivates an active and vivid imagination is able to join hands with their past and future to bring their point of power (the present moment) to a laser focus for creating the highest good for themselves and all others. It is this laser beam of conscious, clear vision that has the power to heal you at all levels and transport you into a future of joy and well-being.In the next segment of this series, we will look at how beings from the future are helping usher in fifth-dimensional consciousness.The first 10 parts of this series can be found by visiting the Channelings by Deborah page of our website: http://www.celestialvision.org/journal/http://www.celestialvision.org
