The 4th Dimension, Drawing the Curtains Back With Three questions (Chapter Thirty-Two)
1) What is this identity-misperception many of us have been brainwashed into believing?
2) How did it overtake us?
3) What are the practical steps to having our misperceptions replaced and with what?
The answer to number one is, loudly and clearly, the misperception that we are the name our earthly parents attached to the body-bags we occupy.
The answer to the second question is a bit more complex: Some of the brainwashing comes from the 3rd Dimension legal/political system under which we find ourselves; some of it from our culture; some from “earthly” parental and familial influence; some from the education system and last, but by no means least, the religious system.
We must also take the responsibility for having reinforced this misperception through comfort and complacency. We’ve learned to say, “This is who I am” (and there’s nothing I can do about it).
Most of us have woven the fabric of our misperceived identity ever more tightly by adding the thread of what we do. I am a plumber, a doctor, a housewife/husband, an engineer, a salesperson, a truck-driver …on and on ad infinitum.
Religion further solidified the concept by having us believe that this name, I for so long have accepted as “me,” has a spirit and a soul which have, therefore, become an integral part of this misperceived identity.
In fact, all the above is the misperception and attempts to improve upon any individual facet or the whole, keeps us from the realization of who and where we really and already are; and stuck in an identity which limits us to the 3rd Dimension of physical “realities” that destine us to limitations, disease and death.
It is a tightly woven, heavy and burdensome cloak that we need to begin to see for what is so that we can take it off and be free and we do this by simply becoming aware of it by digesting the foregoing truths, which we already know, but of which we need reminding.
Just before we put on the magical, lightweight, replacement cloak that by merely putting on immediately transports us into the “unveiling” or “awareness” called the “real me” – let’s examine the heavy coat we want to replace by asking, in each instance, that is, legal/political; cultural; parental; education and religious systems – how these added “weight” to the cloak of identity we’ve been wearing.
The legal/political “thread” sewn into our 3rd Dimension identity cloak, for many of us, began with a birth certificate or other registration then, being assigned a Social Security number (or whatever equivalent in the country of which you are a resident) and whatever other registrations we gathered along the way, such as drivers license, contracts and so forth (which without, we’re consumed by anxiety that we’d have chaos), that have thickened the fabric and we forget how under-control-of-the-state this 3rd Dimension identity renders us.
Now, just take each of the other threads referenced above, one at a time and ask in what ways each influenced you to believe this identity really was/is you. This will help the “unveiling” of your eyes, or to continue with the metaphor of a cloak, the “unraveling of all the threads.”
If you have participated in the foregoing exercise you have already taken the first step-answer to the third question.
Before going further …let’s step back. As you’ve probably noticed, Brad Cullen has a proclivity for getting into areas about which he knows nothing …or perhaps the old cliché “he knows just enough to be dangerous” is fitting. I don’t know squat, remember?
Where, then, do I get my information and why do I fiddle around with facts known only by scientists in the very highly specialized field of sub-nuclear particles, commonly (now) referred to as quantum mechanics when, I don’t just know so little – I DON’T KNOW SQUAT! (?)
Well, my friends, if I consciously chose what I’m about to “unload” on you right now, I’m unaware of it. So I’m admitting the choice was, at the very least, on a sub-conscious level.
Frankly, I was quite fascinated, by the fact that I am explaining for us how to go about taking practical steps to get to a point that Gary Sigler, in his delightfully succinct foreword to this book, implied is necessary to realize that we are already in the crazy reality we’re referring to as the “4th Dimension,” “kingdom of heaven” and “parallel existence” …ongoing right now, this moment.
Why fascinated? Because I hadn’t put the concept of:
“We need an unveiling of our eyes to see that in reality we are already in the fourth dimension and what hinders our experience of it is our wrong perceptions of ourselves” . . .
Into that particular word-thought pattern prior to Gary writing it …so, therefore, who am I to be writing out practical steps to “get into” this awareness, even though I am acutely aware that we already are in this “kingdom” – go figure.
I just now suggested to Daddy that I was a bit overwhelmed. I was told not to be and given a simple vision …I saw the word “quarks.” This, for me, is one of those “holy mackerel” moments. What a beautiful interruption!
Hopefully you’ll have the same emotional/intellectual “buzz” I’m getting here. In 1963 nobody had ever heard the word “quarks” …because the guy who discovered and gave them a slew of whacky names, Nobel Prize winner (1969) physicist, Murray Gell-Mann, had that breakthrough in 1964.
It was well into the 1970s before very many other scientists believed in the existence of quarks in any substantive way. Now that they have been proven to exist, any high-school physics student has no doubt.
So, if you are one of those who are having a hard time putting your mind around these crazy things, perhaps the following explanation will help you understand the difficulty you’re having; I certainly understand the difficulty that I am having …I just don’t worry about it – and don’t forget the term esoteric …go look it up, I had to, to remember precisely what it meant and it is totally apropos to this little discussion.
Now then: Here’s the great man’s (Gell-Mann) explanation of why it was so hard for many scientists to believe in the existence of quarks at first:
“You can’t see them directly. They have some unusual properties, and that’s why it was difficult for people to believe in them at the beginning. And lots of people didn’t. Lots of people thought I was crazy. Quarks are permanently trapped inside other particles like neutrons and protons. You can’t bring them out individually to study them. So they’re a little peculiar in that respect.”
There now, doesn’t that clear it up for you? NOW HEAR THIS: It is not important to understand quarks or their peculiarity or, for that matter the peculiarity of quantum mechanics in general …that understanding not only won’t help you in your quest to be aware of already being in the 4th Dimension …it will get in your way!
We’ll come back to some subsequent practical steps to help us understand our true identity. That is, we are spirits and have been from the very beginning and were with our SPIRIT-PARENT as co creators of everything. We chose to occupy these body bags. We are NOT these body-bags with a spirit – a contrivance of religion which simply is not true.
That is, and unless, of course, we’re willing to look at it from THAT perspective and have the 4th Dimension ability to realize that BOTH are true. (oh…)
Okay, see you back here for Chapter 33 …are we ready?
