Greetings and Namaste uniQverses!

Part 5 - 4

Interface Structure

Right now you see just the tip of your Interface. Its roots go far into the Waters of Life. It manages every aspect of your dealings with things of space, time and cycles. The more you explore it, the more of it you will see. Use the information given in Level Five to reach a running concept of your Interface. The Frequency of Truth will give you all the direction you need. Maintain frequent contact with the Frequency of Truth.

The study of the Interface is inherently complex because of the scope of its involvement. Your Interface is your access between the Eternal and the Physical. To understand this more completely, and to help fit this concept into a greater picture, it becomes necessary to take a very general peek at physical life. You see, you have an Interface to maintain individuality and express Free Will in the physical universe. Everyone and everything in the physical universe has an Interface of one kind or another. All Interfaces are related, but individual. The River of Life maintains them as individual and unique. Comprehending the Interface structure as a whole is worth the effort. Great clarity and light come from viewing the mortal experience from a stable perspective, outside of mortal time... Allow yourself to grow with confidence. There is a lot to see.

Part 5  5

Considering the Source

Life, taken from any given perspective within it, is a convoluted affair at best. Any position taken, by its very nature, excludes other positions.

Before things can be understood it becomes necessary to step back from all perspectives and begin to comprehend life as a whole. Having accomplished this, it is a much simpler matter to identify areas within.

The overview of Life begins as a Spiritual issue. The founders of the religions have consistently been the group who address life on the largest scale.

Within the many religious belief systems that have been developed, there are also many perspectives. SelfCom does not address each religion individually. Instead, all religious systems will be addressed collectively. The emphasis on this is only to establish a format for a workable explanation of the diversity and paradox that we live in.

From the SelfCom Level Five perspective, religions differ from sciences in a fundamental a way. Generally speaking, religion addresses life as a whole and attempts to fit the individual experience into it. Conversely, science address individual events within the whole and attempts to gain understanding of the whole by the study of its parts.

If religion did not already have thousands of years of existence and millions of intelligent, wise and caring supporters, it would be necessary to take the scientific stance. If science did not have definite command over a wide range of natural phenomena, it would be necessary to take the religious stance. As it is, neither can be discarded. In fact, with the advent of modern theories of existence, there are many similarities between the two perspectives already.

Levels Five and Six will be exploring some of these similarities. It is awesome to combine the knowledge of the religious with the methods of the scientific, and to proceed from that to form a workable understanding of the system that contains physical life.

So, what about The Source of All? Most religions have their basis in a central Source of Life, or in Life expressed in layers. Yet science shuns the idea of assigning Life to the unknown... But they still have to come up with some sort of terminology to support their ideas. By negating Life, the explanations of science get mighty fuzzy around the periphery. Science negates The Source of All by removing the universe from life. Science studies structure and functions. Even when science studies living things, they focus on structure and functionality rather than the life aspect itself.

Religion, on the other hand, clearly believes that the universe is expressed by Life. It is a hallmark of all religions to assign life attributes to objects and events in the physical universe.

The religious investigator approaches the project saying, "All of Life unfolds as a harmonious expression of a Living Source. How can this be so?" A scientific investigator approaches the project saying, "Nothing exists unless I say so. Factors that cannot be explained are eliminated because they do not pertain to what I am doing." The religious examiner will go much further in the investigation of the Inner Reality than will the tack taken by the science community. This is inevitable by the very nature of the inquiry.

However, the scientific approach does a lot to exclude superfluous information and bring focus to the known. The scientific method of observation and experimentation has its place to be sure. Both religion and science have been caught being completely wrong many times about critical issues. There is no substitute for healthy skepticism when approaching the unknown. Without the control of analysis and observation there is the danger of false assumptions and unwarranted narrow-mindedness. This has no place in SelfCom. You can use your journal to make a list of things about science and things about religion that are similar, then journal the differences. If you really want to get into it, you can look in history for issues that were once a religious stance and have become a scientific stance, or issues that were once scientific "heresies" that are now accepted by the religious. This is a very informative contemplation.

Traditionally it has been the role of philosophy to stand between science and religion and draw from both. The Idea of applying logical thinking to the abstract has been a common theme among philosophers through the ages. It has a good place, if taken in perspective.

Still, all of it only addresses what IS. No matter what philosophers or scientists or religious investigators think, feel or report, the existence of diverse conditions and contradictory evidence invalidates them to one degree or another. None of them have a complete grasp of what humanity is and what we live in.

The Source seems to have become a bit of a frontier in all of this. Over the ages, or perhaps from near the very beginning, Humans have shown a tendency to see themselves as something apart from the Life in which they define their identity. Humans have a very strong sense of self. This form of isolationism tends to prevent investigators from taking a purely universal stance. The basis for the investigation of a given principle becomes some stance within the framework of predefined parameters. Ill-fitting facts and probabilities are usually warped to fit the stance of the investigator, or discarded completely. Thus the composite Human knowledge of the universe is segregated into compartments and separated by a limited interpretation of the principles observed. It is not possible to determine any context of the universe outside the scope of a given interpretation without ignoring certain of its basic premises and stepping outside its system.

Investigators from the various walks of life have used explanations made of language and mathematics to galvanize their limited belief systems into models that explain the ways of various aspects of Life. But after all the huffing and puffing from the different camps, they are still just models of what IS.

To comprehend the Source of All you must forego learning about the Source and find yourself in the Source. You will not be able to make a limited model of an unlimited concept and expect it to fit all circumstances and conditions. You will not be able to make a limited model because limited models only function in a limited way.

Even with all of that, there remains an inherent simplicity to the experience of living. With all of its complexity and convolutions, life goes on. Everyone and everything exists in Life, as-is. It keeps on going, all by itself. Despite our propensity to the contrary, Life does not need to be explained. It just IS.

But to say that Life IS does not explain WHAT Life IS! Experiencing the processes of Life is a different matter altogether from understanding them. Understanding has a definite analytical component. This is an important thing to realize. Understanding is a function that can only be applied to a definable concept.

Understanding, and other functions of the mind like thinking and learning, have a limit. They cannot function without symbolization and repetition. Yet penetrating the unknown and reaching for the unknowable is an area that is not yet symbolized. Such areas cannot be analyzed until they are experienced first. Investigators peering into the "deep", if you will, are working in concepts that have not been clearly defined. In many areas there are few guidelines. This is a process of trial and error, and has often required years of behind-the-scenes discipline and practice for just a glimpse of what is sought.

By comparison, analytical investigators plotting the perceivable, measurable universe are in an area that lends itself quite readily to concrete conclusions. They function in an environment where there is an observable relationship between cause and effect, future and past, energy and mass. They build upon models that represent physical reality.

The two avenues of investigation reveal a dual nature to Life. There is that realm which can be symbolized and measured and the realm that must be experienced before it can be understood. Each of these realms is a part of the life you live. Yet each is, in many ways, exclusive of the other. One could say that you live in two realities. There is the one outside you that you can perceive and measure, and the one inside of you, that you experience directly without first symbolizing with perception. Both realities are a definite part of your experience.

Little scientific work has been done with the Inner Reality as yet. You pioneer that right now, as you use SelfCom.

Part 5  6

Conclusion

The Inner Realm is definitely a thing different than the outer reality. Ideas exist in the inner realm. So do thoughts and emotions.

Here also, you find that illusive mechanism known as "self" who simultaneously experiences both realities. This is true for every human being. We all have and live in both realities. You experience the outer reality via the symbolizing of perception. You experience the Inner Reality directly by your awareness and attention. Physical manifestations can be understood by the study of the symbols that represent them. The life within cannot be understood without first experiencing it.

Once an experience is repeated it becomes subject to analysis. An experience repeated has a different status than an experience happening for the first time. The status of an experience changes again when it is shared with another. Once an experience is shared it becomes part of the outer reality. This important aspect of the Inner Reality will have much bearing as you explore the ways you manifest your will...

There is a pattern to the functionality of Life's experiences. Observe the emergence of an idea:

Ideas first dawn upon you. You experience them. After the initial point of cognition you think about the idea. This repetition of the original idea begins the process of creating a model of the idea. As the model develops it begins to acquire a solidified form. In other words, the person who has the idea begins to think about ways of expressing it.

When a mode of expression has been developed, the original idea has been symbolized. At this point it can be shared with someone else.

The procedure that conveys an idea from the media of the Inner Reality to the media of the outer reality can be seen. But where do ideas come from before they "dawn" upon our consciousness? Here is a common occurrence in the investigation of Life. An explanation (model) of something usually represents just a segment of some larger process that is even more unknown than the one under investigation! How far "back" can a concept be traced? What is the final result of sharing as ideas are projected "forward"? Are the concepts of "back" and "forward" accurate or are they simply opposing directions in large cycles? Obviously these questions belong to a larger model of Life. That is what you are discovering as you explore the Levels of SelfCom. In Level Six these questions are addressed.

Namaste!
