COUNCIL EXPANDS

Transtext #4
Channelled Material, 27 Sept 2004

YAN
If recent tries to enter HI (Higher Intelligence) mode did not satisfy, the reason was: Purpose is-not-equal-to protocols. One needs (at least) a triad to launch easily into HI-data spaces.

CORWYN
Are you designed to venture all alone? No, no, no. That way lies exhaustion.

YAN
Let us examine energetic inputs. Your HI-axis, guarded by *Arcturus*, is intact. The body, however, feels disconnected from the planet. Let us bring the issue into focus

Your cells are opening to *light*. This seems to put you out of phase with ambient matter which your perceive as dark/inert.

Let me tune you to Azu-ra...

AZU-RA
Your earth variant is reorienting towards its template. This is not a seamless action. The core is hyperlinked; out from the core the planet is a reality mosaic. At the surface certain *nodes* and *zones* are being stimulated by cosmic sources.

Many locations are out of phase with present time, e.g. the Middle East and parts of the Americas. They exist in the shadow of tribal violence fomented and perpetuated by external forces.

These localities are time-loops and trap energy. They are as dark cells within the logoic body.

Your bodies resonate with such disparity, nor can they yet vibrate to the metalight that forms the planetary core.

What avails you? Two factors:

1. you can connect with aspects of the variant that are *clean* - deep polar ice, water in the ocean trenches, mountains and forest out of human reach, the essence of certain species.
2. earth parallels, which include some *past* and *future* planetary states.

Ask your dimensional team to *thread* your body into linkage with the parallels which fit your body’s needs. This will change your body’s *memories* of the planet and help your cells to activate their helixes of potential.

These helixes are not so much extra DNA strands as activated spin points which dephase the RNA from dead information and tune it to living, present-time biotemplates.

In human terms the body’s image banks entrain an *identity* which contradicts the waking Dreamer.

Humans refer automatically to such images or memories when predicting their own *futures*.

Now, the Dreamer which is the n-spatial *self* unconstrained by conformative mind, is sharing its transtemporal play of consciousness with the daytime self.

The two *levels* are incongruent until the image banks or memories are opened to the truth of multiple event flows.

For example, the human banks record a Violation which suppressed entitlement to full experimental play. In fact this is one history only - implanted from a *future* - the one that the Violators wished to spread across all time-sheaves.

Now bodies need help to remember the multiplex reality that preceded the Violation. As this occurs, humans will predict/invoke their *futures* from a vaster reference-system.

The help is coming from many sources which (for some) are encoded with resonances such as *Arcturus*, *Sirius* and *Horus*.

Your bodies cannot flourish in resonance with the reality mosaic of this variant. Unless you relocate to a ‘liberated zone’, which is not yet possible, you need to let *Arcturus/Sirius* pulse-waves, transceived by the inner planet, up through your entire body.

*Arcturus/Sirius* is truly non-temporal and synergizes with your dimensional team to unfold your body as a transtemporal receptor.

The Dreamer, who is latent according to the daytime self, is awake in its own domain. At times the Dreamer can transmit the reality of these processes to you in 4-space.

When you are stirred from sleep in the small hours, often the Dreamer has sent you a data-composite. If you could shift from the inertia of half-sleep to relay mode, you would find your self translating the data. Such occurs already, though often you afterwards forget.

Receiving in synch with *Arcturus/Sirius* is far more than energetics.

As you allow the imaginal faculty its proper place, you will sense that you are always walking in a vaster world than humans normally can see.

As you tune to HI-streams, you will feel the way that the *motion* of time-fused metalight can be directed through the designed illusion of 4-space.

As your *identity* loosens and fills its operational space, you will know that you are weaving *future* states into your present, and thus recreating your possible futures.

AZU-RA
The spacious earth is rich with flowering time paths. Your presence in serener versions does affect your experience here. Your co-beings in those frames are moved to help you

CORWYN
You meet them in the interzone beyond your variant’s psychosphere

HAKIM
Alternate selves may appear, real within their focal sphere, and blend with you from time to time, to invest you with additional qualities.

The interpenetration of worlds will come to dominate your understanding of how deep realities operate. Bleedthroughs will become more common.

Let me underline that we do not refer to remote possibilities. The operational space into which you are expanding is shimmering with *probable* events.

You are developing tolerance for non-linear eventuation, no longer theory-driven, more ready to experience *life* as it encounters you.

Even the more outrageous stories that are coming to notice bear a meaning that you may decode and offer in ways that other humans can understand.

*Healing* becomes adventure. A hint...there is no condition, however dire, on any level, that cannot be resolved by some alternate self.

RAY
Can we invoke alternate selves to help our bodies resonate with the spacious earth?

CORWYN
One of these days you will see *who* constitute your teams!

RAY
What brought me here?

YAN
Your capacity to come here without forgetting everything

CORWYN
You never did forget, you know. Your human data-body made it hard to come to grips with your experience. Remember your dream of the giants and their scimitars?.

You were in your 20s, trying to send yourself a story that would make sense of your non-verbal intimations. The story was about a terrifying and *dimension*-spanning violation, which now you start to understand. The nightmares that beset you as a child and teen were similar in nature.

More recent nightmares, on the other hand, are reportage from your monitors translated via the emotional filters of a young self.

You do monitor, extensively. You do not need to do so much. The cops are out there. You *are* a cop of a certain kind, but not in the here-and-now.

TARZ
It has been an enterprise to get you to delegate. For a while it seemed that you were going to anchor half a dozen archetypes or macrofunctions, e.g. the cosmic cop. We are glad you have relented.

AZU-RA
As humans are being refocused beyond sacrifice/redemption stories they redefine their purpose in more expansive terms. You and others *like* you are loosening the worldweave which the Violators tautened and distorted.

When others ask you about their *purpose*, your refer them to their Dreaming Self. As you sense inwards you discover a longing to share the visions that are shut away by censorship.

This seven-year round of reclamation leads into a gloriously spacious and fluid *self*.

AMBER
I am your co-being. I live on a spiral closer to the terran template. Do you like the name? I took it from the novels. And the name reminds me that many of you feel trapped like a bee in the hardening of resin., a good way to describe what has happened to you all in your once-sparkling reality.

LAPIS
Do you remember me?

RAY
Hi and welcome both. Amber, you seem familiar. Lapis, I remember you with pleasure

LAPIS
It is easier for Amber and I to reach you now. Actually there’s a gang of us

AMBER
We want to help you smile

RAY
I sense *my* Dreamer as a smiling giant. It’s hard to live there

AMBER
We are here to help

RAY
Lapis, where do you come from?

LAPIS
From? Oh, I see Surely you see that we *are* in a very fluid state. If I was to be grand, could say that we are envoys between frames. We *travel* a lot.

AZU-RA
On spirals close to a planetary template, freedom is rich indeed.

TARZ
I have been around too. I am a co-being of a different colour. I am involved in forming energy structures for many purposes. I am, as you see, a kind of officer and trained in many disciplines. I *serve* in your teams, as well as elsewhere.

It has been an enterprise to get you to delegate. For a while it seemed that you were going to anchor half a dozen archetypes or macrofunctions, e.g. the cosmic cop. We are glad that you have relented.

Amber and Lapis remind me that play is a value in itself. Their joy is quite contagious. They ride the energy of their love into many spaces and into contact with many beings.

TARZ
Our *home* realities are far from you. We link to you through the multidimensional Integral that unites us. Some co-beings live in closer variants that are in some ways more advanced than yours. Expect more visitors.

You are detaching from your one-line human past that *causes*, according to modern rules, your present.

CORWYN
You are being redreamed.

RAY
My Greek Chorus is wailing about the suffering here

RAPHAEL
You cannot ignore the suffering. You are homing in on a new relationship to that suffering. Much needs to be removed from your reality to help restore all beings to their heritage. Much needs to be added to your reality to support the process.

You are detaching from your one-line human past that *causes*, according to modern rules, your present.

CORWYN
You still have not passed on our stuff about *redeeming* > *redreaming*. Don’t you accept it? You are being redreamed

RAPHAEL
In Phase 1 you learned about human dilemmas from inside them. In Phase 2 you begin to express an aspect.

CORWYN
....or three

RAPHAEL
...of what your inner senses tell you is scarce or missing in this variant.

Now, most of the missing or scarce qualities cannot be verbalized. This does not matter. As you tap *memories* outside your one-line sequence, you will re-enter spacious realities in which these qualities form your natural milieu.

CORWYN
Attention: Raphael means that you will recover unofficial childhood memories which are windows to those spacious realities.

You are recovering some of them as you sleep, which is likely just as well. Your tolerance for strangeness is opening like a flower. No forcing.

RAPHAEL
You have been wondering why you seem to have known so much at 23 which is now opaque. Development is not linear. For one such as you.

CORWYN
...and he means you, dear reader

RAPHAEL
... the healing of the infant, child and teen *selves* reintegrates mental/emotional seed events which germinate in your present and interplay with current and future states.

LYRA
A little child shall lead them. What does this mean? It means that if you remember outside your main historic sequence, you discover a giant with a human mask.

CORWYN
...or masque

LYRA
The phases of the bioform’s sequence from birth to dissolution, if allowed to be themselves, undistorted by cultural superstition, will disclose/permit a fluid interplay among all *moments* in the sequence.

AMBER
As Tarz implies, you will be visited by co-beings from nearby frames. They wear bodies that are *dense* but less fixed than yours. They will transmit qualities that so far (for good reason) elude your efforts.

TARZ
I help in a different way. I am a technician with what you could call an artistic flair. I do not deal with machines of any kind, but I can admire the elegance of good material design.

Some energy structures have to be beautiful to work. For example, an interframe bridge needs to foster a certain aesthetic to a crossing.

One thing missing or sadly understated in your new age spiritualities is this: *beauty* is a root quality in all free realities.

When you sense, non-verbally, that an energy structure with which you work no longer fits your purpose and has therefore lost its beauty, I come with new designs.

This applies in particular to your *vehicle*. No, this is not merkaba talk. The protective field between *you* and the spaces that you navigate must change for many reasons.

As you simplify, your vehicle or field is doing likewise. Streamlining.

RAY
I saw a gyroscopic vehicle with a monofilamental guide rail.

TARZ
Yes. The plain allusion to the functions does not convey the beauty of the *form*, however.

ARUN
I dwell in the frame in which you learn the joy of skimming and of flying. The way you interface with gravity in *our* world can be adapted to yours.

You love *our* world. We are friends but not co-beings in the stricter sense. I have watched you and others grow in confidence as you rediscovered the secret of magnetic interfacing with, first, the level ground, and then the strata of the upper airs.

You began in secret, fearing that public opinion would reject you. The parallel is obvious. Such rejection is very rare and yet you feared. It is true that our customs are a bit conservative. Our society works quite well and no one is eager to tinker with it.

The last adventure in this world that you remember dreaming saw you soaring over park lands. Our time-rates differ. From my viewpoint, you were seen, and those who saw you began to remember in themselves what you had recovered.

RAY
Can you fly now?

ARUN
I skim with pleasure. I am getting used to leaving the ground behind.

Now, you will not apply magnetic interfacing to flight as such in your world. At least not yet. You will learn to half-shield yourself from the pull of gravity. This will benefit your body as much as a short stay in a low-gravity environment.

It is hard for you to adapt to the density of your world which is in part expressed as gravitational pull. The more you remember (rebecome) the being that you want to be, the harder the physical conditions will seem to you. Not only gravity but the composition of the air, the chemical make-up of foodstuffs, and so on.

TARZ
This is not just a matter of eco-degradation. Full adaptation is not possible for you. Nor do you really want it. Various alterations will help you to relate in comfort to these conditions that are becoming more alien to you as time goes by.

RAY
Arun, how can you communicate with me if we are not co-beings?

ARUN
Special license. A few of our people are reaching out to adjacent frames. It’s more fun than space flight, but as I said, we change our customs slowly. Our scientists have been informed that we can cross where friendship forms a bridge. You are here and there. I have not discovered a counterpart in your world. I’m not sure how to. But I can link to you through you-here.

RAY
Why doesn’t my counterpart communicate directly.

ARUN
He is not interested in the possibility and doesn’t really believe in it.

RAY
What is this special license?

ARUN
Strangers - the term has a different implication in our world - have been stimulating exploration in our and, no doubt, other frames. This is part of the formation of what you call an ecumene.

These strangers do not interfere with our integrity, but make suggestions that help us and further their enterprises. The latter, so far as I can understand, involve a cross between dimensional engineering and redemption. I’m not religious. But their license opened bridgeways into several frames, and that’s exciting.

ILISHKA
I live in a world of rushing river-networks. We live most of our lives in and upon the waters. We do not share your form. The networks, which crisscross our three continents, show evidence of archaic design, though we have no stories to describe this.

Our rivers carry stories to us. Each river is a different color and when they interflow the separate colors form adjacent currents, each of which bears a specific flavor of information.

Strangers appeared, although they wore our form, and added a color that we had never seen before. This color-current now flows in every river.

When we listen to that color we learn of worlds beyond our own and how to reach to them.

We guess that the strangers have been here before, and created the river-networks...perhaps for this later purpose.

CORWYN
The typo networks, now erased, tells you that you picked up on the earth form that they resemble most, albeit bigger - much, much bigger.

ILISHKA
We are learning that a community of worlds is forming in which all expressions of intelligence are welcome. This fills an emptiness that we did not know existed in us.

Our stories and our information, always changing with the seasons and the shifts in river temperature, were enough for us. Our cloud roof covers the planet entirely. The cosmos, which now we see through others’ eyes, never challenged our self-containment.

Now the newness excites us and we are eager to learn wherever we can reach. The strangers have helped us to listen to their color and follow a sequence of reachings. You are our fifth. The strangers say that you and we are kin in some way that we do not yet understand. We shall.

RAY
Do you have religions?

ILISHKA
We have knowings. Is that the same? Our rivers tell us that they and we are one, that our world is like a color-current in a larger river-network. We all belong to what we cannot see, and are satisfied, or were, till now.

RAPHAEL
The Ilishka - a term for the race in the strangers’ language - are an experiment. They come to your notice because they dream in common and dream unceasingly.

In humans, dreaming recedes into the background during the day. Not so with the Ilishka. They do not sleep but their metabolism quiesces cyclically.

They operate in the physical world with the river-netwrorks operating as data-processors. The Ilishka would say that the river currents tell them what to do. Most of their awareness is co-dreaming the geometries that form their and other worlds. It is their equivalent of science, culture and aesthetics.

As they join the ecumene, they will teach others to share their dreams or perceptions of a higher-order space.

Now, co-dreaming is something many know and miss with bitter longing. This fact provides an angle from which you approach the human psyche. You know, for example, that if humans shed their fear of one another enough to share their dreams and reveries in detail, they would discover that they interpenetrate and so co-dream at deeply hidden levels.

If this were brought to consciousness, human unity would become a manifest and mainstream fact.

The Ilishka are going the other way, so to speak. As they share their dreamings with other races, they will be shaken from their radial self-containment and begin to individuate, though not so extremely as humans. They will not lose their linkage, but will find placement within it.

RAY
Do I have a co-being among the Ilishka?

RAPHAEL
No. You have a counterpart within a race that does co-dream and knows it. If you encountered this co-being directly, and blended with *him* (which would happen naturally) the experience would make your human isolation even harder to bear.

We relayed this contact with the Ilishka to give you a glimpse of something that matters greatly to you.

RAY
Thank you

TARZ
We are here for you and will come whenever you may call

CORWYN
And when you don’t....
These are your friends.

Strangers appeared, although they wore our form, and added a color that we had never seen before. This color-current now flows in every river. When we listen to that color we learn of worlds beyond our own and how to reach to them. We guess that the strangers have been here before, and created the river-networks...perhaps for this later purpose. CORWYN The typo networks, now erased, tells you that you picked up on the earth form that they resemble most, albeit bigger - much, much bigger. ILISHKA We are learning that a community of worlds is forming in which all expressions of intelligence are welcome. This fills an emptiness that we did not know existed in us. Our stories and our information, always changing with the seasons and the shifts in river temperature, were enough for us. Our cloud roof covers the planet entirely. The cosmos, which now we see through others’ eyes, never challenged our self-containment. Now the newness excites us and we are eager to learn wherever we can reach. The strangers have helped us to listen to their color and follow a sequence of reachings. You are our fifth. The strangers say that you and we are kin in some way that we do not yet understand. We shall. RAY Do you have religions? ILISHKA We have knowings. Is that the same? Our rivers tell us that they and we are one, that our world is like a color-current in a larger river-network. We all belong to what we cannot see, and are satisfied, or were, till now. RAPHAEL The Ilishka - a term for the race in the strangers’ language - are an experiment. They come to your notice because they dream in common and dream unceasingly. In humans, dreaming recedes into the background during the day. Not so with the Ilishka. They do not sleep but their metabolism quiesces cyclically. They operate in the physical world with the river-netwrorks operating as data-processors. The Ilishka would say that the river currents tell them what to do. Most of their awareness is co-dreaming the geometries that form their and other worlds. It is their equivalent of science, culture and aesthetics. As they join the ecumene, they will teach others to share their dreams or perceptions of a higher-order space. Now, co-dreaming is something many know and miss with bitter longing. This fact provides an angle from which you approach the human psyche. You know, for example, that if humans shed their fear of one another enough to share their dreams and reveries in detail, they would discover that they interpenetrate and so co-dream at deeply hidden levels. If this were brought to consciousness, human unity would become a manifest and mainstream fact. The Ilishka are going the other way, so to speak. As they share their dreamings with other races, they will be shaken from their radial self-containment and begin to individuate, though not so extremely as humans. They will not lose their linkage, but will find placement within it. RAY Do I have a co-being among the Ilishka? RAPHAEL No. You have a counterpart within a race that does co-dream and knows it. If you encountered this co-being directly, and blended with him (which would happen naturally) the experience would make your human isolation even harder to bear. We relayed this contact with the Ilishka to give you a glimpse of something that matters greatly to you. RAY Thank you TARZ We are here for you and will come whenever you may call CORWYN And when you don’t.... These are your friends.
