There is Intelligence that lives in the sunLight we see. Learning how to communicate with this Intelligence is the next step in evolution


Beyond the laws of time and the body, is the Illuminated Self. It is impossible to see this Self with the eyes of the body because the body’s eyes see only form. Once in a while, perhaps a glimmer of this Self is seen. For just an instant, when illumination occurs, illuminated vision takes over as the physical sense of sight becomes second in nature to a higher, more dependable spiritual sense. Because the illumination occurs in an instant and then is gone, the question of it really occurred at all forms in the mind. The question is also instantaneous, and then it too is gone. It must have been a figment in my imagination.
How bright is a star? How much light does a star produce in the universe that surrounds it? What holds the significance; the star or the light it produces? Can it be claimed that the light coming from one star is greater than the light coming from another? Light is relative, and measuring the extent of light, and what it is for lies in the perception of the beholder. Truth is always in subjection to the one who holds it. The expert who sees the light as separate from other illuminating light does not perceive what it is for. The purpose of light is illumination; and what is illumination but a way of thinking at level of awareness that is recognized by Illuminated Light. The importance of light does not come from the star, or the form that seems to be producing the light. While overlooking the importance of what the light is for, and focusing on the light producer, the critical factor of illumination is lost through a physical interpretation of form. The star is not important. The illumination which lights the darkness holds the value. The physical body is also not important because within itself it does not have the ability to produce light.
The Illuminating Self is the Light that brings meaning to this world. Beyond the law of form, the Illuminating Self shines forth. That the illumination of light cannot be physically seen indicates that form has become the valuable focus of the intelligence that lives in the body. While ignoring the seeming empty space that exists between form, physical intelligence does not perceive that the Light that exists within the seeming empty space is filled with Intelligent Life.
What fills the space between separated bodies is the Light. It gently fills the gap that appears to be the evidence of the separation, without being antagonistic. That Light is not physically believed or recognized as being an Intelligence Source that fills the gap between bodies and the means to end the separation, is evident. Within the Light is Intelligence, but not the intelligence that the physical world holds as having validity, so the Light is used instead of being honored for the Intelligence it holds.
The Light between form holds everything within its Oneness, so it is Omnipotent. The Light holds everything within its Wholeness, so it is Omniscient. The Light only shines Now, so it is beyond the laws of time. The Light does not demand to be noticed, and shines upon the righteous and the wicked as well. It is neutral in its effects and is not controlled by all the physical drama that separates nations, religion, race, or the color of bodies. The Light does not honor international boundaries, because it cannot see them.
The Illuminating Self shines into the Light, and makes it brighter. That this illumination is not recognized by the physical senses is an indication that the physical senses are in error. The Illuminating Self is the only reason time is being held open. The body is an extension of the Self, not the other way around. Learning to listen to the Illuminated Self cannot occur, unless and until there is an acknowledgment that there is Intelligence in the Light and that this Intelligence has the means to communicate with physical consciousness.
It is entirely possible to converse with the Intelligence that live in the Light by learning to use consciousness is a new way. This Intelligence is beyond form, and is Universal in proportion. It has access to the same Laws as the Light, so They fulfill the means for the salvation of the world. The means to break down the barriers the veil of illusion that is held by form is occurring now. This veil of illusion is shifting, and the Intelligence in the Light is finding new opportunities to explain the meaning in the Light. The illusion that prevents physical form from becoming One with the Intelligence in the Light is non-recognition; therefore, non appreciation. It is not believed that the Light or the Intelligence it holds, has the ability to solve the problems that face this world. This makes the primary interference in the ability to communicate with Light Intelligence held within the belief system of physical form. Belief does not understand, or appreciate what it cannot physically see. All physical senses have been trained by belief. Therefore the term; I will believe it when I see it, is consciously upheld.
Light holds a different vibration than physical form. The Illuminated Self has access to this vibration through spiritual senses. This vibration is beyond physical senses, and each physical sense that is used by belief has higher purpose. The true purpose of the senses is spiritual, if they are allowed to be so. The Intelligence in the Light communicates with consciousness through the spiritual senses, which filters into consciousness when peace is a factor. The path of least resistance is peace when attempting to use the spiritual senses to communicate with the Intelligence that lives in the Light. By learning how to open the Illuminated Senses that have been closed, Light Consciousness is free to commune with physical consciousness. The purpose of this communication is to form an alliance between conscious form and the Consciousness that lives in the Light. By teaching physical consciousness about Light Intelligence, consciousness begins to learn that the space between form holds Intelligent life. This begins to place a physical focus on spiritual senses where consciousness is free to expand and learn of the Illuminated Self. Because all illumination is under the Protection of Living Law, physical consciousness learns that the laws of time are not needed at all. What has need of physical law when the Law that upholds the Light fills consciousness? Working in conjunction with Higher Intelligence is how one learns to illuminate their senses. This will lead to Illuminated Senses. Once the senses have been illuminated, consciousness slips quietly past the laws of time.
Spiritual vision is generally the first sense that opens through dreams and vision. By learning to watch the pictures that occur in the mind, it begins to be understood that the Language in the Light is generally conveyed through pictures. The symbolic meanings of these pictures, if examined, are teaching methods that directly point to story telling. Story telling is an ancient way of teaching through the use of symbols. Learning the meaning of spiritual symbols enhances story telling for both the Giver and the receiver.
The second gateway to physical consciousness is through the sense of hearing. By learning to open up to spiritual hearing, messages are conveyed from Light Intelligence that teaches lessons concerning the Light, and the specific purpose of the individual. The violations that have occurred against Living Law are revealed from learning to listen with spiritual hearing. This leads to healing the vibration that is held in the body. Chaotic vibration in the body is preventing the Light from entering and shifting physical consciousness and joining with the Illuminated Self. Learning the Law of Forgiveness is healing, and places physical consciousness in alignment with the Illuminated Self. Learning to listen with a spiritual ear is beyond the world of physical sound. The music that is heard here is a sound that has the ability to call Home the lost souls that have learned to believe in the reality of form.
The physical body does not know how to feel illuminated emotion, so it captures what emotion it can and holds it captive in an unreal message that is found in how the body feels. Learning how to violate the Law of Light brought about unnatural conditions, or being able to feel without the true expression that Light gives. It would be impossible for expression to exist under these conditions, except in physical form or with a body. Feelings that are held in the body are vibrating at a rate of speed which is not consistent with the Light. Adulterating the pure Light of Love has forced a condition that could only be placed in an unreal state, or under laws that violates Living Law. This is called time. The unreal state of feeling chaotic emotion with the body is also why the body dies. Without understanding the Light, form is recognized as the only intelligent reality there is. The belief in false emotion and being able to feel this emotion with the body is an illusion. Releasing Love from the physical sense of feeling will allow Love to be expressed the way it was intended to be expressed.
Physical smelling does not hold the same ability as the illuminated sense of smell does. That the physical body does not know how to access this higher ability is obvious. The physical body uses illuminated smell, violates it, and then uses it to prove the existence of the body. It is believed that without a physical body, it would be impossible to smell anything. The truth is; the Illuminated Self uses the illuminated sense of smell to determine the ability to Love. Love is what is sensed from the smell of a new born baby. This is not the perfumed scents that come from products that are used on the baby. Innocence has a smell, and because the innocent nature is pure Love, it is indeed possible to smell the Light. If the illuminated sense of smell was unleashed while smelling a flower, the smell of the flower would intensify to such an extent, that consciousness would be transformed immediately. That physical belief does not allow this to happen is also evident. Repugnant smells do not support life and Love. The physical body understands that life is not supported by repugnant smells, but it does not understand that being able to smell without Love makes a condition that upholds the illusion of repugnant smells.
The ability to use illuminated taste has been dulled by the belief that what the physical palate senses is the only way to taste. Tasting can also be defined by a specific preference. Learning how to have a taste, or preference, for what the Light has a taste for requires a vigilance that the body cannot learn. Taste gives direction, because from a higher perspective, it teaches preference. Preference for the Light of Love does not include a preference for a body. This preference does not ignore the body, but it does not give the body preference. This is what must be consciously learned so the Illumined Self can be examined through the Illumined Senses.
It seems as though physical senses work independently of each other. This upholds the vibration of the separation. Once consciousness learns how to make use of the senses as one, they become an illuminated sense, which means they are seen as having one purpose. This purpose, which is to recognize Love is the Light that illuminates everything, proves that only Love and Light is real. As physical consciousness learns through its senses to move towards illumination, it learns that it has access to Intelligence that is greater than the body that lives in the Light.
It is impossible to find the Illuminated Self without learning how to consciously explore the Light. The means for this exploration is provided by the Intelligence that lives in the Light. Learn to step out of body consciousness into Light consciousness. Reach out of time and touch the Light. The path that leads into the Light is what leads to One Wholeness Now.
