Most of us have a clear idea of the goal that we are headed towards.  We want to be enlightened.  We want to be absent of ego.  Most of all, we want to be free of suffering.   We have a picture in our heads of what we think that enlightenment looks like; our perfect image of the spiritually enlightened person.  But what most people don’t know is that this image we are holding on to, is a lie that we keep telling ourselves.  Enlightenment is not like that.  Enlightenment is no kind of retirement from life itself.   It is no kind of retirement from the ups and downs.  We create the illusion of enlightened retirement from the ups and downs when we feel resistant to the ups and downs.  We invent the idea that enlightenment means perfect bliss twenty-four hours a day only when we are suffering and we want an end to that suffering.  Enlightenment is only the beginning, because after enlightenment you still have to engage with physical life and physical life was designed to be a means for creating expansion.

Physical life is a learning hologram.  No one who is alive is exempt from expansion and so, no one is exempt from contrast.  And as long as there is contrast, there is the recognition of what is unwanted as well as the recognition of what is wanted present within you.   If we were to reach a state where we were magically transformed into a permanent state of bliss, it would mean ended-ness.  There could be no further expansion from that place and that would not serve the universe at large.  What serves the universe at large is eternal expansion.  So even once you have attained enlightenment, you still have to integrate what it has taught you.  You still have to integrate the spiritual awareness you have achieved into your day-to-day life.   Even though the samsara waves never stop coming, the more enlightened you become, the more your thoughts change.  Your perspective changes to match the vibration of source perspective.  And so the meaning of your experiences changes.  The way you think about and deal with the ups and downs is what changes and so those ups and downs are not experienced the same way that they once were.

There is no shame in struggling.  Having problems is not a character flaw.  You have not failed if you have a bad day.  Buddha had bad days.  Jesus had bad days.  Muhammad had bad days.  You will not meet a single physically manifested being (whether they are an ascended master or not) that is exempt from contrast and so you will not meet a single physically manifested being who is in alignment twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week.  To expect this from anyone is cruelty.   To feel embarrassment or shame if you are out of alignment is cruelty.  To expect yourself to be in alignment twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week is cruelty.   And it’s time that we stop perpetuating cruelty in ourselves as well as within this spiritual community that we ourselves are responsible for creating.  Spiritual practice is just that… It is a practice.  It is still a practice for those who are spiritual masters.  Alignment is something that we have to maintain.  It is not a prize that we reach and then we are granted alignment forever no matter what we think or do.  Alignment and enlightenment is not something that is done to us once we prove ourselves worthy.  It is something we constantly maintain.  We choose to come into alignment or not in each moment.  And denial is no kind of alignment.

So the question is: Are you bypassing yourself?

Question from:

-Jacob Ethridge Of Port Orford, Oregon (USA)-

“YES and YES. But first, I must expose some false beliefs in order to explain this position.

A “Ghost” is an exiting Tulpa. I call it an exiting Tulpa because it is not a Tulpa that exists because the focused energy of Source is now creating it. It is a “residual” or thought that was once “focused”. It is very difficult for people to understand but, thoughts…think. And so, an Exiting Tulpa is “thinking” but it is not attached to the consciousness of Source energy.

A ghost Tulpa exists when, in joining back with Source, just as a person leaves behind their physical body, a person leaves behind the energetic vibration of the thought of themselves in relation to this life, and the thoughts that did not resonate with the energetic vibration of Source. These types of Tulpas resonate very strongly with the physical dimension, so they often have attachment to a physical object, or physical person or place by way of resonating with it.

These thoughts have enough energy that they can not only assume some version of physical manifestation in the form of an image, but also, sometimes in the form of being able to manipulate what is physical (poltergeist activity). These Tulpas can act out “unfinished business” in many forms. But just like a body decays, they tend to lose their energy over time as long as someone is not lending energy to them by focusing on them.

Ghosts are not people who’s souls have become stuck somewhere in between life and death. However, these thought forms can be interacted with and helped to de manifest.

You have most likely heard of a medium helping a ghost to cross over into the light. This happens when a medium (who has a vibrational resonance high enough that they are able to interpret the energetic vibration of a Tulpa as a sight or sound) is offering energetic thought vibrations that influence this thought form to change its energetic vibration, and therefore, resonate with Source. When it does this, it too goes through a process of de-manifestation that retracts it through the primary manifestation stage of “light”.

Whenever the feeling you get off of a Tulpa, is a negative one, you are dealing with a residual thought form of the person and the vibrational state that the person left behind. It is not the person’s “soul”. It does not have direct connection to the Source part of the person who left it behind. The Source energy that left it behind does not miss it’s body and it does not miss it’s Tulpa.

If, however, the Source wanted to have direct connection with its Tulpa again, it could do so by re-resonating with it. If it did this, it would now be an entering Tulpa. It only chooses to do this if it is of benefit. It does this occasionally to attend physical births or deaths of people it was close to, to aid in the process into death or into birth. Occasionally, it will do this to aid a person who is struggling or suffering in life, in order to lend support to them when support would best be lent by the person they were familiar with.

All this being said, If a person makes it their intention in the life they are living to find an energetic vibration that resonates with thought form, they can have what you would call clairaudient or clairvoyant experiences and in this way, reconnect again and communicate with the thought form of that which has physically died. There is no veil between physical and non physical.

In truth, there is no distinction between the physical and the non physical other than the mind of the perceiver.”
