Source is real, and it is the Source of reality, but it is not a reality in and of itself, because any meaningful reality must be experienceable, and Source as One without a second is imperceptible. Before reality can exist, Source needs a second to reflect its light and make it visible. The Source projected the Soul to create the possibility of another. This is how the Source created the possibility for otherness, or duality. The existence of the Soul makes the experience of reality possible, but the potential for experience is still not enough to create reality. In order for reality to exist there must be someone who exists to experience it.

The Source is the potential for awareness and the Soul is the potential for experience, but a self-identity is needed before an experienced reality can exist. There needs to be someone who can have the experience of another. A self-identity is a lens that brings the awareness of Source to focus on the experience of Soul. It is the necessary third ingredient that makes reality possible. Identity, a sense of self, plays a crucial role in the creation of reality. In the human spectrum of reality, Source has become lost in the identity of being human. When we release Source awareness from our Earthbound human identity by self-forgetting we find ourselves in the empty void of awareness beyond identity. We move from there into the subtle realms by inhibiting a Soul self. The Soul is a transdimensional self that travels between worlds and lifetimes, and it is not limited to human worlds and human lifetimes. Reality is multidimensional and only a very tiny fraction of it lies within the human spectrum. All of the realities in existence include beings with identities that are capable of perceiving in the dimensions of that reality. Human identity is not the only form of identity in existence, there are many.

Human identity happens to be one of the very few forms of identity that we are able to recognize because we are conditioned by a profoundly human centered perspective. We speak about consciousness, for instance, but what we really mean is human consciousness. And because we think of human consciousness as the only form of consciousness, we find it difficult to recognize any other forms of consciousness that exist. We actually encounter other forms of consciousness all the time, but we most often don't recognize them because only human consciousness exists to us. Without realizing it we define consciousness as human consciousness and can only recognize consciousness in human form.

As Transdimensional spirituality expands awareness beyond human identity, we begin to realize how much consciousness there is in the universe. There is a great deal more consciousness even in the human world than we currently recognize. In fact, everything that exists is conscious in its own way. Everything is an entity, and everything has a sense of self that it perceives through. And I don’t mean just humans and a few animals; every rock, every tree, the sun, plants, planets, everything. It's all beings with consciousness in different forms that we generally don't recognize. And those are only the beings that exist in our three dimensional space. We've barely begun to explore the different forms of consciousness in our familiar world, and beyond that there is an innumerable multitude of other realities all teaming with other beings that have their own forms of consciousness.

There are higher dimensional entities and higher dimensional beings crossing through our three dimensional reality and interacting with us all the time. We ourselves are crossing into other dimensions and interacting with the higher dimensional beings that exist there too. We generally don't recognize any of this because we unconsciously filter out all of our experiences that do not fit neatly within our own very narrow lens on reality. Transdimensional spirituality has a shamanic flavor because it involves encountering beings in nonhuman forms and merging with their perceptual capacities. These can be other forms of beings on Earth, but can also include beings from higher dimensional universes far beyond the three dimensions of space that we exist in as our Earthbound human self.

In our transdimensional travels we merge with higher dimensional entities and experience their world through their senses of perception and their level of consciousness. And here in our world we experience the consciousness of higher dimensional beings, on these occasions we are inhabited by a being from another dimension and their higher perceptions flood into our nervous system. When this happens to us, we tend to think of it as either a temporary mental disorder, or an experience of spiritual breakthrough.

You will journey through transdimensional space by inhabiting the Soul self, but from that vantage point the worlds of higher dimensions will always remain vague and dreamy. You cannot perceive those worlds clearly from the transdimensional space of the Soul. In order to see a different higher dimensional reality clearly you will need to inhabit an identity that exists in those dimensions, and in the same way, any higher being that visits the Earth realm will need to inhabit an Earthbound identity to see clearly here.

I realize that this part of our conversation may take you further out on a limb than you feel comfortable going, but that doesn’t make it untrue. You can relate to this as metaphorical if it feels easier, but don’t dismiss it, because breaking free of our dramatically humancentric perception of reality is an important part of Transdimensional Spirituality.
