Realization is Simply Seeing from a Higher Level of Consciousness | Steve Beckow

I’d like to change the subject for a bit and dip into spirituality. I’d like to look at the process of realization.

Realization, in my view, is simply seeing from a higher-dimensional place.

To say “I realize” is no different than saying that I am at the moment existing on a higher level of consciousness than I normally do.

But before I go further, I’d like to make two distinctions here. They may sound in conflict at first. Let me explain.

What boosts us up there is a breakthrough moment of love, bliss, peace, or one of the other divine states.

Wisps of these states, in my experience, are constantly with us. We just don’t notice them. We can clamber aboard them and ride them to a fuller experience of whatever the divine state is.

Meanwhile, when love or bliss finds a crack in our armor, or even a little space, it may fill us up for a moment. And, because we disregard it or mis-identify it, it goes. It’s always there in the background, largely outside our awareness.

***

It’s the divine state – usually bliss in the case of realization – that boosts us up to the higher plane. If we have nothing in our minds – if our minds are quiet – we may simply rest there in peace.

But if we’re wrestling with a problem, or trying to understand a distinction, or feeling cognitive dissonance, we may have a “Eureka!” lightbulb or breakthrough moment.

Which leads me to speculate that:

Distinction plus bliss [or other divine state] = realization.

The “distinction” – whatever intellectual or emotional problem we may be dealing with – plus the elevating power of bliss causes realization – a truth becomes apparent and is experienced; the way through a difficulty is seen; the way to reconcile two opposing matters becomes clear.

At these moments, if we’re already grinding away at a problem or situation in our lives, we see things from a higher place. Cleansed of our core issues and investments for the moment, the way through becomes clear.

One of the ways bliss lifts us up is that it dissolves all problems. They simply become situations and we feel a sense of liberation and lightness. It’s surprising what we add to the situation – which makes it fearful in the first place.

***

A distinction can be anything, but distinctions on less important matters (we, defining what is important and what not) probably result in less impactful realizations.

Here’s a distinction between feeling states and divine states as an example.

Feeling states are experienced as happening inside of us. We may feel something in our heart, in our head, in our stomach, etc. The feelings are localized.

Divine states are experienced as being larger than us, including us, embracing, enfolding or overwhelming us. I am swept away by the inner tsunami of love. I am drowned in the Ocean of Love.

So we’ve made a distinction, based on experience, between feeling states and divine states, whereas before no distinction existed. Before there was a lack of understanding; hopefully the distinction has helped to bring in understanding, at a minimum.

If at the same time I was making the distinction, I was filled with bliss, whether beforehand or in the moment, then rather than the distinction perhaps piquing my interest, it might result in an expansive or even explosive dawning of awareness.

In the experience of bliss, all my senses and faculties would be activated. The doors to knowledge would be left open. My ability to know would be greatly expanded.

Moreover, each experience of the divine state of love or bliss, edges us up a level, as Michael makes clear:

Archangel Michael: You have experienced progressively, periods of unity, of transformative love, of ecstasy, of bliss that you feel (and I emphasize feel) come and go.

But every time, you have had this experience it has edged you up a level. (1)

It turns out that we are already living in part on the higher realms, as Michael further explains:

AAM: A very large quotient, shall we say, of you is living … in the higher dimensional realm. … Then there is a part of you that is in fact in the, shall we say, the morass of the chaos and the lower (for lack of a better term) dimensional realm because that is where the work is. (2)

Ascension itself will see the door of the heart permanently open, connecting us to the higher realms. Then what was realization to us before will now simply be the normal state of our mind.
