Well I decided not to leave Tribe and now I know why. I'm starting to channel.

Like a parfait? No and like an Onion.

I’m going to try to express how I see what makes up a person and how they relate to/interact with the world. The reason I’m doing this is it seems sleep is not in the cards tonight for this bear and I’m being (forced) asked nicely to write this down.

** I need to state this. This is my OPINION. I cannot state this as fact as I am a finite being attempting to place concepts of the infinite on paper for other finite beings. Please do not be offended by this if this doesn’t fit into your personal cosmology I mean no offence.**

Let’s start with the basics or what everyone knows to be true. We start with…

The physical form: Our bodies are amazing things capable amazing feats (in my case those feets are size 12 ½ EEE). We all have a rudimentary concept of who we are and how we interact with the world so I will not spend much time with this level. The vast majority of mankind thinks this is all that there is of us and our universe; they couldn’t be more wrong. Just as the physical form is made up of smaller systems we have those same concepts within our greater selves. Never let it be said that the physical form is some how a prison or lesser than the rest of our true self. We need it just as we need our souls. All things are made or the divine.

The Aetheric body: What most people think of as the Aura or Spirit. This is the part of our physical body that we cannot see with our five primary senses. However most of us can sense on some level this energy. We call it Empathy or telepathy or whatever; the name doesn’t matter as long as you can sense with it. This level of self is our energetic self, the part of us composed of non-physical (solid/liquid/gas) self, and with it we are connected to the greater world of spirit and energy. Some people may call it a “Fetch” a term I personally dislike as it sounds subservient The Aetheric body is what we use to connect with, to feel, the greater universe. This level of our being is where our conscious self lay. What we call the person we are right now is this level along with the physical body. When we die the physical form returns to the matrix that is nature while the Aetheric body becomes a free floating being of its own actions, our Ghost as it were. This level of us no longer needs the Physical form however it cannot do much on the physical vibrational plains without it. Many Aetheric bodies become one with the greater universe again or become guides for those of us with Physical forms. Sometimes these bodies remain tied to a person, place, thing or cause and we have a haunting. I’ll get more into detail on the Aetheric body at a later time.

The Over Soul also called the Higher or Angelic Self: This is the part of you that is linked to what we call past lives and over sees you on your path in life. It is assumed that we reincarnate. Even the early Christian church held this belief to be true from what I understand. There is evidence from all countries and all races and classes of people who have had past life ‘experiences’ and as I have had my own, I accept this to be true. What I feel to be true (as I am now in that area of personal conjecture and have no real way to back up my statements) this level of being is out side of the workings of Time/Space and is pan-dimensional. Existing at all times and in all spaces it is our connection to all of the different lives we have had. When I say ‘we’ it’s a slight misnomer. Our Over Souls are just as much a part of us as our Aetheric body is to our physical body and is the connection that we share with those of the greater Us. Why we do this is anyone’s guess but I think it has to do with returning to a state of “grace” with the greater multiverse that is what we are all directly connected with from our physical bodies to the energy/vibrational forms that make up all things. I wish I could go one about this but I haven’t the grace or wisdom to do so at this time. Maybe that’s when you become an Ascended master, maybe that’s when they finally lock me up for my own good. Who knows.

Now outside of your Aetheric Body and a part of the universe/pan-dimensionality, are other beings (you didn’t think you were alone did you?). Spirits that either have no physical body or have a physical body that we cannot understand in our limited ability to conceive such things. We call them Spirit Guides, Totems, power animals, ancestors, angels, gods, and a host of other things. They range in power and attributes but most are in some way energetically connected to us through either our Aetheric body or our over Soul. These beings (and make no mistake they are intelligences all to themselves) interact with us for a variety of reasons, most of which I couldn’t begin to tell you but some just to “tag along” and experience a physical form. Many have their own agendas and need an agent to act through, providing that agent with the benefit of their wisdom or power on the aetherial levels of consciousness.

Damn.. The transmission is starting to wane. I hope I/we could aid you in understanding the greater you and how you connect with the universe and beyond.
