Today is 06.06.06 a numerical configuration which has significance to many who hold Christian religious beliefs. It is the representative number of the anti-Christ. As someone who has traveled a vast spectrum, I can assure you that hell-worlds or nether regions are indeed quite real. However, much as there exists no single omnipotent god in the higher planes of existence, there is no single devil who presides over these lower realms either.
To help broaden understanding of what the true lower realms are like we will take a very brief tour of the closest one. However, first, I am going to prepare your consciousness and your energy body. As you read these words a giant field of radiant energy has surrounded you and it is composed of what appears to your inner eye as bright white light. This field has counter-signals embedded into its waveforms for what you are about to be exposed. These signals counter & match lower signals with the necessary data to create a cancellation with negative input and sustain balance. Yes the higher worlds and planes operate inconceivably scientifically. Healing, "goodness" and other attributes of "angels" are really extremely scientific propositions and manipulations of energy. This field is connected to the most high planes where beings of untold radiance, beauty and love reside and they will monitor our journey and all who partake it.
We do not need to go far for this field trip. The nearest hell-world exists right here on Earth. Were you able to expand your sensory functions you would be capable of perceiving this netherworld right in our own backyard.
We are traveling up. You are gaining altitude above your residence and are now hovering about a half-mile up. You see the various structures, trees, plants and land that comprise the earth. Now we are going to go higher. We are at the 3 mile marker or about 15,000 feet. We can see the landscape much clearer now, although the small structures and details have become indecipherable. But we most still go further. We are in orbit now. You see the land masses in there entirety, along with the sea, and the familiar shapes of continents loom before you in radiant greens, golden sand hues and resplendent shades of blue in the many and varied bodies of water.
Now we are going to increase your visual perception range.
We are making some adjustments to your retina and conscious mind signal processing ability. You now can see wavelengths of "light" that would be completely invisible to you normally. From this height as you look down the earth takes on a new hue - a consistent grayish tinge with spots of dark gray and even pinpoints of black.
We are now over a major city. You see what appears to be a giant hurricane that is over the city. Its vortex shape is nearly identical to the charts and satellite images you have seen of hurricane activity. It is almost pure black in the center of this vortex and lightens somewhat at the edges. This is a vortex of negative energy and it is raining down darkness over this city as real as water precipitation does.
In this rain of negative energy, exists hatred, fear, lust, anger, jealousy and resentment, rage and a cacophony of lower emotional signals. At any given moment this rain of negative energy is influencing billions of people who are completely unaware of it. Their minds receive these signals and act upon them within the framework of their own environment and interactions. ALL energy travels in these vortex shapes and as you look at the Earth you see these giant black-gray vortices over the major cities and now as we look down upon regions like the middle east we see a myriad of these dark vortices all interconnected looking like the mother of all storms.
Yes, the sum of these black and grey vortices and cover constitute their own hell-world. In these energies are trapped millions of souls from the past histories of Earth and they reach out to those living now through the function of thought. All evil action that occurs on Earth is directly tied to this dark energy just as it is true that every good action is tied to an opposing positive, light influence fromhigher spectra.
Yet these forces are not mystical, religious or the result of "gods" or "devils". They are the result of nature and the very simple principle of frequency relationship. All energy expresses at various frequencies, these frequencies are drawn and collected and form vast spectra. Hate and Love oscillate at specific frequencies. There is a very scientific disparity between these two thought-form energy streams.
This particular hell-world was created by humanity as it has existed on the surface of the Earth. These storms of negative energy exist because of man and are specifically attenuated to the signals of human thought and life. In many quarters environmentalists are concerned about man-made global warming. Here you can now see the vast power of human hatred, lusts & vices, insecurity, fear, jealousy, rage and insanity. These storms could barely function on some worlds. They could not interact with the residents to the same degree and would soon dissipate or migrate to more compatible spectra. On Earth these storms are fed and nourished by present-day hatred and lower thought forms and actions. Yes, each and every thought that is in a state of imbalance, is tied inextricably to these seas of lower spectra.
We are now getting closer to one of these storms and merely looking at it is somewhat distressing. The dark energies are unlike anything you've seen and you can sense the unfathomable quantity of evil therein.
And we have been spotted.
A giant tendril of black darkness like black lightning reaches out and strikes at us. Our shields of light repel the signal and render it neutralized. Even more strikes and fiercer ones are directed at us and demonstrate that this sea of hate is not unthinking, but reacts to the presence of light like an animal that feels threatened strikes out at that which it fears. But our shields are more than a match for anything this spectra can dish out and soon the clouds retreat before our bubble-fields of radiant light. As we look closer at this darkness you feel somewhat sick as you spot thousands, no millions, of small spirals tying down to the human masses below, like an unseen string that ties each human into this evil mass of darkness. You suddenly realize how unaware and vulnerable human society is to this spectra, this hell-world, that shares the same Earth, yet is unseen to human eyes and humanity's very narrow spectra wave-length capacity.
Yes, it does appear almost as if the strings are those a puppet might possess and this analogy reveals a quite disturbing truth - that much of humanity is controlled by this hell-world. If we look closer we see that these spiraling vortices look like the small funnels descending from a tornado and that some people below have larger funnels descending into them while others the funnel is so small that it is hardly noticeable until one gets closer.
You see the chain-smokers, alcoholics and drug addicts have these clear funnels. Were we to dissect one of the funnels from these storms as it enters into the minds of an individual we would see that it is composed of extremely imbalanced thoughts. Yes, you see these addictions are spurred and fed by these thoughts and the individuals own will and resistance are shattered. What's worse the individual, unaware, really believes these thoughts of desire are his/her own! So they cancel out their own still small voice of reason, of self-preservation and they let these funnels, and their strong emotional payload, direct their lives.
Human minds are very vulnerable. They are transmitters and receivers and each has its own capacity and internal signal strength. As you can now see, the dominating influence in humanity is not truly of these internal thoughts, but are of these strong external thought influences which link each human to a the nearest hell or nether-world, wherein are trapped millions of souls, whose one unifying trait is extreme selfishness. Many of the souls trapped in this nether-world will find themselves reincarnated. Yes, as you now realize unbalanced human procreation impulses of a purely physical nature are also driven largely by these dark funnels. These souls will be born, and will in turn be obsessed/possessed by many of the same signals that spawned their birth. And when they die, with no knowledge of the vast infinite universe, they will be re-absorbed into this cloud of human darkness, act as parasites on their former friends, relatives and neighbors and bounce back and forth between physical and astral existence for many centuries perhaps even several hundred thousand years. They will do this until they learn what you are learning now - the framework of the universe and the vast spectra which provide planes of existence for souls of all levels of development.
Instead of being puppets to these primitive thoughts and emotional drives, their still small voice will be strengthened and become dominant. When confronted with good/evil choices their voice will override these dark funnels and choose the good. Each time they refuse this negative external signal will make them more and more immune to it. These are those who as you gaze below you have funnels which are next to invisible. As you watch these humans interact you see how one funnel often reaches out towards other individuals, somewhat like a spiders legs, the funnel splits and two or more can be fed from the same funnel of hate, fear, anguish, etcetera.
We hover over a funeral and see a mini cyclone of negativity hovering over the gathered group. It splits up and a strong funnel is clearly visible as each individual is being fed thoughts of extreme sadness, loss, extreme fear of death and insecurity. Except for one. The baby held in the woman's arms has no such funnel. It is still incompatible and immune to these external influences. This will change and within two years this baby will become susceptible as enough of its thought processes are polarized and provide a harmonic affiliation capable of being linked to.
Let's look closer at this baby. This is not a normal human baby, but is a being of some considerable development. In our expanded sensory awareness we can actually see light beams emanating from this baby's head and linked to those surrounding this baby. A strong beam is directed at the mother, and as others look at this baby a beam of light is projected and linked to them as well. It is fascinating. This light beam breaks up some of the dark funnels input and breaks up these pervasive, fear, loss and other negative thought signals. This baby is countering the large negative cloud that hovers over this cemetery to such an extent that like us, it is now being targeted. Bolts of black lightning shoot out at this baby and the baby begins to cry. It is under direct assault from the negative forces which live in this nether-world.
Yes, like many of you, I do not like to see this either.
We are going to assist this baby. With our mind energies we direct some of our protective shield to surround it. We watch as the black lightning bolts bounce off and are again directed at us. Almost immediately the baby stops crying and opens it eyes looking around. It is aware of the cessation of the assault but, in this human shell, is unaware how or what transpired to make it so. The mother is cooing and is happy the baby is once again smiling at her. She is completely oblivious to the exchange that just happened and the invisible assault that her baby experienced - just because it was being a positive influence on those controlled and fearful minds. When the baby was crying the mother's own funnel was growing even darker as she was being assaulted by thoughts of embarrassment and frustration.
Yes, this all seems like a bad dream to you. Is it possible this evil hell-world can exist right here on Earth under everyone's nose and go unrecognized?
In a word, yes.
But the group partaking of this journey has been exposed to enough. We now return to your journey's point of origin and you look again at your own physical body. You are distressed to see a gray funnel descending into it. And now as you readjust back into your physical body we are going to leave a portion of this shield in your everyday consciousness. Just thinking about this shield will disrupt this funnel and give your small voice added say in the direction of your activities, desires and thoughts.
There is far more to the universe than dreamed of by man. This hell-world we visited is but one of an infinite number, and each one is geared to specific signals and is composed of beings of an infinitely diverse nature. These hell-worlds act in constant opposition to another world or another plane of existence. We realize these things must exist though. The sine wave exists on both sides of the line of equilibrium. Both positive and negative portions exist to each motion. This hell-world serves the purpose of providing the opportunity to strengthen your positive will, become immune to lower influences and evolve into a much more comprehensive, intelligent personality.
This is how the infinite universe functions. The constant quest for balance and the constant exchange and interplay of good/evil, light/dark and positive/negative.
When you encounter negative situations you will remember this. When all around you seem to be going crazy, hysterical or very negative you will recall these funnels and you will now have new compassion for those whom you have hated, disliked, feared, etcetera. You will see behind the facade of physical interactions to see the more complete signal exchange which feeds irrationality, suicide, murder, rape and the panorama of human insanity.
Yes, indeed, after a trip like this, one is reminded of the tinfoil wearing paranoids back on earth who now seem to have had a sort of intuitive awareness of external thought influence. But they were obsessed and their fear, conspiracy thoughts and actions are largely sponsored by the very same external influences they want to protect themselves from!
You now see that tinfoil, or any physical substance, would be quite useless in shielding one from these external thought influences. Only your own thoughts and positive energy can disrupt these funnels and this shield that you now possess, which is composed of highly intelligent wave forms with the capacity to cancel out negatively biased signals.
It will be up to you to use it however. There are no gifts or freebies in this infinite universe.
You are not the chosen one but you have chosen.
Your paths and travels have taken you to the point where you can be exposed to this knowledge without harm to your consciousness. You have, through your own efforts, made reading this possible and it will only be of use to you inasmuch as your consciousness can integrate these understandings in your life.
So here, on 06.06.06, or later, as many of you will take this journey in a different time, you will no longer fear the unknown concept of hell. Hells are very real and scientific places and you will be able to avoid them, and their influences, much more easily than many who only have vague and unscientific notions of what hell is, what they do there and who resides there. It was not Pandora who let loose these evils upon man, but humanity, collectively and over time, has created its own hell-world.
Yes, for you 06.06.06 is a day of liberation from evil, ignorance and fear.

The illusion
While part of me types in these words in a keyboard, it is just the smallest and least representative portion of my consciousness distributed through the vehicle of a physical anatomy. I'm not really human, you see. I long ago graduated from Humanity and similar forms of expression and the larger part of my consciousness resides in a world made up of pure energy. If I need to travel anywhere, a thought takes me there. In a true sense - I am everywhere.
This sort of existence seems unfathomable. Humanity is accustomed to thought interaction based upon physical realities. The body acts as a host for thinking, but, for much of humanity, thinking is mostly a reactionary expression to external stimuli. A spouse to procreate with, a home to live in, a car to travel in, food to eat and air to breathe are the basis for a normal physical life. Countless experiences are able to be learned through such expression. The fundamental beginnings to understand what life is begin with the thoughts that accompany physical interaction with one's environment.
Soul evolution begins with the concept of personal identification. Beings realize they are unique and they have control over their actions, thoughts and direction. Realizing others individuality and concern for their well being as well as ones own is part of this growth of human spirit. A trillion squared experiences thoughts and decisions lie between humanity and graduation.
At a certain point you will realize that your arm, hands, body and head are not really you. They are just tools to gather data and express in turn. The physical anatomy is a machine that is used to interact within a certain environment, much like a car lets you navigate the roads or a plane the skies, a physical body is the tool for a terrestrial world.
Once one understands this, one does not fear death, for there is no such thing. One does not put undue importance upon material things in general, because one realizes their temporal nature and learns to appreciate all things in a more balanced manner.
Youth, beauty, wealth & wisdom are all relative. Each is a concept that must be mastered to move forward. After enough repetitive lifetimes with purely material goals, needs and desires the mind soon learns that these goals are not sufficient. Comfort, security, emotional flattery are no longer good enough. One's own comfort and needs mean less and less, almost to the point of nothingness.
The introverted, selfish expression that is humanity experiences a metamorphosis as it grows and "human" souls express more completely without physical bodies which are chained to earth and limited to a handful of senses. Even the most talented aid worker can only help a few people at a time, comfort only so many with their actions and educate so many with their words. When one is not constrained by physical bonds, one can inspire an infinite number, assist the same amount and communicate simultaneously with more beings than can be imagined. Ones help takes new forms and is no longer limited by the extremely finite capacity of the human anatomy.
Humanity is just one such soul-breeding ground. In this infinite universe there are an infinite numbers of stepping off platforms for soul development. As can be expected, humanity is just the tiniest fraction of physical, atomic-based sentience in the universe. You will evolve to interact with beings who have vastly disparate origins, yes many which will seem unfathomable. Sentient nebula gases, suns with populations of trillions of beings, the list is endless. Humanity is conditioned to interact with the materials found on earth. Man combines them and shapes them and gives new meaning to these configurations. A home is so much wood, concrete and mortar and yet many disparate atom-based beings would look at the earth as so many elements and never discern the sentience behind our modern cities and everything we have built. Much as we would peer out at a sun with our telescopes and could never fathom any life surviving or existing in this form, much less a sophisticated sentient society.
And so it is through much of the physical universe - sentience oblivious to the existence of other sentience. Only from the spiritual side is the panorama of material sentience lifted and one sees the wondrous, infinite diversity of that spark of infinity encapsulated into individuality.
When one returns to the human form or a similar physical expression, one returns to the limited parameters of such expression and ones thoughts are inundated by the common denominator which such society has developed. Like crawling into a cupboard and closing the door, one tends to lose perspective. Suddenly selfishness, material desires, procreative impulses, emotional fulfillment become paramount to each action and thoughts revolve around such goals the way planets orbit stars. To cast these things aside can not be done in entirety, because these things are the very fabric of human existence. Instead, one learns to moderate them and minimize them with wisdom one has previously imbibed into ones greater soul-consciousness.
Then, and only then, can one be "in the world but not of it." Then can one defy the parameters and limitations of a material-biased society to interact with other humans at a level which is less mundane, finite and limited. It is in this way one can speak directly to the masses of humanity as one of them, sharing the same world and observing the same events while retaining ones acquired infinite heritage. One can assist others who are mired in the material goals and means and point out a new and brighter world that awaits their discovery and participation.
But the infinite universe will only become your home to the extent within which you can understand, relate and achieve purpose within it. This is why you must master your relationships, emotionalism, hates & dislikes and petty selfish desires in this world. Once such mastery is accomplished you will find yourself on other worlds - through the principle of frequency relationship. You will move up the ladder of worlds and forms to become ever more competent and expressive in ways completely unknown to the five human senses. Eventually you will be able to help an infinite number of souls on their journeys, and you will do this by default as a part and parcel of the new being which you have evolved into. It will seem as normal as breathing, eating and working do to you now.
I look forward to that day when you, too, graduate as I have watched countless others. And I am not alone, no more than are you alone. I am just one of an infinite number who have so graduated.
I am merely the one who comes back to the old Alma-Mater to give a speech now and then.

Finding Balance
Balance is one of the most important things in life. If you don't have balance you can't move from point to point - both literally and figuratively. Balance is the cause of movement and action. All energy seeks balance. Life creates balance out of imbalance.
One of the most fascinating things about life is the way it will never stop this balancing process. As a matter of fact, when one has some semblance of balance in many areas of life, you will find yourself in new situations that require you to start the balancing process all over again. It is for this reason that man is always hungry for something. Contentment would be the death of man. Man, as a being is born to struggle and attain things. One never stops this struggle no matter how advanced one becomes, how much one knows or how much one has.
The secret is to learn and manage this never-ending struggle so it reaps constructive growth and steers your path to higher planes of expression. It is all too easy to follow the herds, gaggles and packs and pursue simply material goals that are assigned to you at birth by a fearful society. Boys are taught they must find out what you want to do for a living, while girls are encouraged to marry and start a family ASAP, both sexes are taught to live life within socially accepted guideposts.
This is all swell and fine up to a certain point. If your mind is satisfied with making money, living as others do, following fashions dictated by others, watching mass entertainment pacification and following in the footsteps of the huddled hordes of people than you have nothing to worry about. You wont even feel a longing or a questioning - you'll just go with the flow. However, if you have an uneasiness about conformity, feel there must be some other level to life and human relationships that is not even being explored than you are reading the right blog entry.
Society should not be made up of people who are slaves to the work week. Such a society creates the tensions, stress and frustration that guarantees off hours to be spent seeking some form of escape mechanism. Food is a major escape for much of the planet. Obesity keeps hitting new highs as a percentage of the population uses food to nullify the stress of modern life. After the second world war and the automation revolution, workers were told they could now work less and earn more. 40 hour work weeks were the reward of industrialization. Now the 40 hour work week is a starting point and many have 60 hour work weeks with no increase in wages. The result? An ever more materialistic, culturally deficient generation who read less, watch TV more and spend their few non-working hours engaged in sensory gratification.
The technocracy of the Earth is a dual-edged sword that cuts both ways harming and helping man simultaneously. Instant communication serves to create a larger lowest common denominator as ignorance, hatred, degeneracy and exploitation retards and degrades more than was ever before possible in human history.
It is for this reason that one must seek out and release ones mind from these mundane constraints. Neither work to live or live to work, but participate cautiously in a society that is more lemming than lemonade. Realize that fitting in is not an admirable goal. The one with the most toys or who earns the most applause does NOT win - and in fact these are the greatest losers who are cursed with future experiences and lives of suffering to re-establish priorities and balance.
Spirituality is a confusing concept. Most associate spiritual with religion. Really, spirituality could be couched within the broader parameter of human consciousness. Your spirit is your mind. Spirituality is in decline - not religion. Religion is thriving. But religions just create another set of conformists with another set of rules and rewards. Seldom does religion reward the individual who enjoys thinking for himself. Fostering mental growth in our society is only done to turn humans into useful employees and workers. Education is classified as a tool - a tool that will help you make money and live better than your fellow man. This is the goal of education? Education is an end in itself. Your mind and its diversity and richness of thought is the greatest reward or gift anyone could ever give anyone else.
Yes, society has cheapened education into a materialist pursuit. Our universities are designed to educate people to become productive in their fields of endeavor and the result is a society deprived of true spirituality. Thinking, true thought for the nourishment of the soul is largely lost to ancient history. Athens valued thought, public discourse for discourse sake and with the goal of creating a new generation who were even better thinkers than the best of preceding generations. Thought spurred and nurtured fostered creativity. Creativity is a necessity for a thriving cultural layer in society. Because thinking is at an all-time low, creativity and culture have become a wasteland of imitation, repetition and regurgitation of others who are/were creative.
Balance. We're back to balance again. A society that thinks, creates and grows develops a healthy spiritual life to accompany their material pursuits and efforts. It is only then that a society can progress to new heights. When balance is lost a society goes into decline and sinks to its lowest depths.
Even though society declines you need not follow the steer to the slaughter. Seek balance in all you do, including the all-important emotional aspects of your reactions to all that surrounds you, and you will find yourself rewarded with a greater spiritual life - a life that leads to true happiness, joy and understanding.

Thought spurred and nurtured fostered creativity. Creativity is a necessity for a thriving cultural layer in society. Because thinking is at an all-time low, creativity and culture have become a wasteland of imitation, repetition and regurgitation of others who are/were creative.
Balance. We're back to balance again. A society that thinks, creates and grows develops a healthy spiritual life to accompany their material pursuits and efforts. It is only then that a society can progress to new heights. When balance is lost a society goes into decline and sinks to its lowest depths.
Even though society declines you need not follow the steer to the slaughter. Seek balance in all you do, including the all-important emotional aspects of your reactions to all that surrounds you, and you will find yourself rewarded with a greater spiritual life - a life that leads to true happiness, joy and understanding.
