These Buttons are hypothetical, internal switches. When we press them, we act like robots. External circumstances usually move us to push these Buttons.
Buttons are our socialized or biological responses to everyday situations. Once activated, the option of following our spirit is no longer available. The Dark Forces use them to their advantage. (Follow your Buttons without hesitation.) Here is a partial listing of Buttons that we've seen and explored.
Have you ever stepped on the gas to "make the light," and then zipped through the intersection? Have you become frantic when you've lost your keys and then felt relief when you've found them? These are two examples of "the Agony and Ecstasy." The tension that you create to "make the light" or to "find your keys" are the Agony aspects of this Button. You feel Ecstasy when you drive through the intersection before the light turns red or find your keys. But, Agonizing doesn't make the light stay green: You'll either make it or you won't. It doesn't help you find your keys. This drama is artificial. This roller coaster ride goes in circles; after it's over, you're back where you started.
On the third and fourth dimensions, committing crimes and punishing criminals are an integral part of the scenery. Every institution in these dimensions has crime and ways to deal with it. Even when you judge someone, you imply that they've committed a crime of some sort. You punish the wrongdoer (that you have mentally convicted) with the psychic force of your judgment. On the fifth dimension and above, however, no one punishes anyone.
This implies conditional happiness: "I'll be happy if. . ." We limit our happiness with rigid parameters. The Personal Will loves to use this Button.
This Button is similar to the "I Want" Button. Both reject what spirit is offering in Current Reality.
The ego loves this Button. It says, "Hey, I'm cool [smart/having a great time]." It allows you to explore empty space.
This Button has multiple uses. It can make you feel weak, helpless, powerless, or like a victim.
When you think that you have to push to get the results that you want, the Pushing Button is on. This lets us know that the Personal Will is acting.
When life isn't intense enough, hit the Magnify Button. Exaggerate. Lie a little to make an insignificant event appear important. Or, you can blow up a slight hurt into a major injustice.
For immediate separation, press this Button. Want to make something wrong? Be Right (like righteousness). This also implies there is a "right way that it is." Taking a stand for your truth isn't the same as being right.
Stop everything! How can you efficiently co-create Heaven on Earth with other masters if you're unworthy?
When we vent dark anger, the Payback Button is on. Payback guarantees an enemy, and that we leave the Oneness space. It happens when we take things personally: A victim thing. This personifies Karmic consciousness.
This reflects the illusion that we can own something; yet, we don't even own our bodies. Everything is on loan from the universe. Attachment to persons, places, and objects can be a source of pain and disillusion.
This creates struggle and defensive/offensive behavior. We find victims in the third and fourth dimensions. On the fifth dimension (and above), everyone knows that we are all immortal beings.
Limitation systems allow you to do this: Not follow your spirit. At least that's the illusion they support. One of the mechanisms that support this illusion is "instincts." The Planetary Consciousness programs instincts into the cells of most animal species, including humans. The "Survival," "Sexual," "Territorial," and "Hierarchical" instincts are the prominent ones. A survival instinct (associated with the Root Chakra) allows you to experience the fear of becoming extinct. A shot of the bio-chemical adrenalin into the bloodstream gives you the jolt. In general, the sexual instinct (Second Chakra) makes males and females try to attract one another. They reproduce. This keeps the game going.
Related to the survival and sexual instincts is the need to control territory. You need your space to feel secure in and to gather food (survive), and to mate. This instinct projects itself into groups: home, state, and country. If, however, we call these areas "our place," then the rest of the universe must belong to someone else. Hierarchy - one's level in the pecking order - is a Third Chakra concern. It concerns personal power. If you can dominate others, then you can eat first, have the best space and mate, and get paid more.
We can agree to limit ourselves to the parameters of our instincts. Most people do. If we do this, the universe will make this real for us. When we're busy playing out a planetary hallucination, how can we follow our spirit? We can only follow one master at a time. The point, however, is not to "kill" our instincts. They're just mechanisms. We can watch them in action. Instead, we can act on what our spirit directs. This moves us one step closer to who we really are.
As we stand at the gate of the New Civilization, we practice not identifying with these biological mechanisms: Light Bodies don't have biological instincts.
Everything that you can see (except objects in outer space), feel, smell, hear, or taste are products of the Planetary Consciousness. The trees, oceans, and all earth life are creations of this great consciousness. Even the "sixth sense" is a gift from the Earth.
Life on Planet Earth is a co-creative process. Your consciousness projects into a human form and dances with the Planetary Consciousness. Historically, Earth has provided the rhythms of Limitation as our dance music. This guarantees that terrestrial life forms must struggle and suffer. Times, though, are a-changin'. The Planetary Consciousness has a new Vision of what type of music to provide. And why not? Planets are dynamic entities. They have destinies and Visions. Their taste in music can change.
Let's call this new vision "Heaven on Earth," where we base our actions on love, instead of fear. Let's call Heaven on Earth the True Reality of Earth. If Heaven on Earth is the True Reality of the planet, then let's call its Current Reality - the one that we see now - the planetary hallucination. So, all the instincts - all the Buttons - are aspects of the planetary hallucination. (They look and feel real, however. If they didn't, what good would they be?)
Most beings experience pain and separation and think that it's their fault. They feel like a victim of either circumstance or themselves. But it's not really their fault: It's not their stuff! On a spiritual level, they've agreed to play out planetary hallucinations. While the planetary hallucination is in place, someone will suffer.
The dance radically changes when the planet ascends. After the Ascension, we interact with the Planetary Consciousness joyfully. We explore life in wonderful new ways.
A Vision is "the way that it is" as defined by the I AM. The master that you are - the I AM - lives by its own truths. You bring your I AM Vision to Earth. By taking a stand for it, you help to manifest Heaven on Earth. Your Vision, combined with the Vision of the Planet, produces your experience of Heaven on Earth.
We first need a clear sense of our Vision. Before we become aware of our Mission, we have only a vague sense of the Heaven's qualities. Vague pictures, however, produce vague results. When assembling a clear, well defined Vision, we don't have to "make up" the elements. All the pieces are already within us. We become conscious of them and then integrate them into our life.
Our inner reality, is an alternative to our old habits. For example, say you have a particular "problem." The options available in a Limitation system are: (1) to deny, rationalize, avoid, or ignore it, or (2) to fight it, or drive it away. The drawback of the first option is obvious: ignore it, and the ghost remains. If you choose the second option (fighting it), then you give life to the problem. You are implying to the universe that the problem is real, and that's what it will manifest for you.
Without a fifth-dimensional Vision to base our actions on, we're like a ship in a third-dimensional ocean without a rudder. With a fifth-dimensional Vision, we can stand confident in our truth. We can live as masters. This deepens our faith in spirit, and we can allow our Vision to change and expand. We are not attached to our Vision. Once you experience that this lifestyle can work, then you rely less on outside authorities to tell you what's real.
We can intellectually divide the universe in many ways. One way is to slice it into different dimensions. For our purposes, we will describe three dimensions, numbers three, four, and five. In Part II, we will share our views on the other dimensions, numbers six through twelve. The third dimension is the material plane. Human bodies, trees, air, the oceans, all belong to this realm. This "what-you-see-is what-you-get" dimension operates linearly, with a strict sense of spacetime. Perceptual lenses (eyes, ears, touch, taste, and smell) filter out more information than they allow in. Limitation systems function best at this level. Most of humanity and the Old Civilization base their lives on this reality.
The fourth dimension is another name for the astral plane. It is where magic, both white and black, happens. The more Personal Power that you have, the higher your position is in the hierarchy. Forms, including spacetime, are more fluid in this twilight dimension. Beings easily "morph" from one form into another. This gray dimension is moral: You are either for Good or for Evil. You fight for one or the other. The battle for souls is popular here. As you might expect, The Dark Forces dwell here. Find purgatory or limbo in the darker regions; in the darkest, find hell.
The fifth dimension is the dimension of Light. People who have had near-death experiences call it Heaven. They describe it as the Light at the end of the tunnel. In this vast plane, the impulse of spirit gives us the motive to act. There is great comradery here. Joy, harmony, and truth are a given. All are aware of their immortal identity. Everyone is holy, because spirit flows unrestrictedly through them.
Enemies don't exist on this dimension. We have no battles to fight. There is nothing to prove or win. A different kind of excitement and purpose exists. In every moment, we are in ecstasy to be alive, as we explore the wonders of a loving and miraculous universe.
Yes, compare the above with this little excerpt from a wonderful little book called ET101: The cosmic instruction manual for planetary evolution by Zoev Jho
For clarity, we now offer a brief description of the dimensions. The third dimension is the one you a currently living in and transiting out of. It is the one you consider the sum total of reality.
The fourth dimension is sometimes referred to as the astral plane and exists as a shadow dimension to the third. Like the third, it is also a dimension of polarity and is inhabited by what you call 'spirits' and disembodied entities. This dimension has fallen out of favour with the thinking of scientific materialism and has been reduced to the ranks of a primitive, superstitious belief - a belief that permeated human myth until you all smartened up and dismissed it. You may be surprised to learn that the truth does not require your belief in it in order to function, and the fourth dimension has managed to carry on despite your rejection.
The fifth dimension appears in your symbol systems as 'heaven' and compared to the third dimension it is. It is a dimension of light and love, and is free of the illusions of separation and duality. The ifth dimension is in no way the end of the line; it is just the next step in your planetary evolution. Creation actually contains an infinite number of dimensions, many of which you inhabit simultaneously.We hope that clears this matter up for you.
