Every exploration of our conscious awareness, or consciousness for short, is an ego trip.
The broad nature of this ‘trip’ is decided upon by the ‘soul’ consciousness, your ‘home’ self, leaving room for the ‘ego’ consciousness to sort through, decide upon and enjoy (or otherwise) the detailed aspects of the ‘trip’, choosing from a relatively infinite list of possibilities, many more obviously than any one person has ‘time’ to achieve in one lifetime, hence relatively infinite.
Every ego trip also ‘begins’ and ‘ends’ with the soul, as would any trip where you leave and return ‘home’, though with any journey you can never really say when a trip ‘begins and ends’, especially when each trip itself rides within, whilst simultaneously forms, an even ‘greater’ trip or life project — a ‘greater’ whole made up of its parts — or ‘superego’ made up of individual egos.
And if you immediately think that every trip is ‘physical’, always remember that no trip is ‘just’ physical, as every trip begins in the mind as an idea, inspired by other ‘trips’ you have seen made physical around you, of which those too began in the mind, the ‘unseen’ or ‘invisible’ part of you.
Our physical world is then our soul in action, and any such ‘action’ that can be seen or sensed in any way, can be called ‘ego’ — it is the part of the soul which we see ‘working’. There is really no difference between the two, the words simply designate different ‘angles’ of self-perception and self-activity, individually and en masse.
The ego is within the soul, and the soul is within the ego — just as the worker self is within the home self, and home self is within the worker self — it is simply a shifting of perception according to what is the ‘task in hand’ — are you at work, or are you at home?
And when you find that you enjoy both home and work, when you make life decisions which put you in a position where you see little difference between the two in a mental and emotional sense — then the perceptions of the soul and the ego come together, the two become one — there is in one sense a ‘supercharging’ effect, which in other circles is referred to as illumination or enlightenment.
In old writings, this ‘optimal’ point of perception is what is referred to as going through the eye of the needle, and indeed also, finding the holy grail. More recently, physicists also have theorised about this ‘state’, calling it a white hole — which is essentially the ‘flip-side’ of a black hole, or a black hole turned inside-out.
There are many such references to this life principle throughout the history (and future) of time — it is not new information, but it is information that always needs to be relayed in the everyday language of the present, otherwise it is more often than not misinterpreted and misapplied at esoteric or ‘leading-edge’ levels, only then serving usually to creating more problems than it is trying to solve. Note here then that creation can also involve destruction — it is still being creative, just in a harmful kind of way — in old writings, this was referred to as the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Modern day versions of such outcomes revolve around our nuclear capability, for example, in creating nuclear bombs. The knowledge doesn’t create the bomb, it is the ego’s use of the knowledge which creates the bomb — the knowledge itself is neutral, like any construction tool is. It is its ‘handler’ which then chooses what to do with it.
The reason why the ego has to learn this principle then is because the ego holds the inherent power to become or create a superego — which in simple terms sees and senses an amplification of its existing creative choices, which includes the ‘collapsing’ of time (as we currently experience it). Nature however has quite ingenious safeguards in place which will only truly allow this superego to become enabled once the proper lessons are learnt. In simple terms, you do not give a worker-self access to a power tool until they have mastered the basics of construction using manual tools.
A growing ego, for example, which is having difficulty learning these lessons, will increasingly find themselves in a ‘black hole’ environment of the mind, a mental and emotional black hole. What is useful to remember here though is that the performance of every ‘apprentice’ ego can be greatly influenced by the performance of every ‘master’ ego. And sadly, there are many ‘master’ egos, many leading-edge explorers and enquirers who are losing their way. For example, to quote a phrase from present-day physicist Professor Jim Al-Khalili, there is a large contingent of master egos in the field of physics who simply take the knowledge and then behave in a “shut-up-and-calculate” kind of way, whereas the Professor seeks to know more before acting upon the knowledge, in the same way that Einstein also did.
Overall then, you might say here that you should not look to define or stereotype yourself as either an intellectual Adam or an intuitive Eve, but to know that you are both, simultaneously. To focus on one without the other means that you are really only getting and promoting half of the story, like an audio system which is only recording and playing back half of a song — you are missing out on the true quality of something, no matter how much quantity of something you think you have.
Quality is what we seek — quantity, you will find, is a red-herring, and one which can get you into great difficulty if you don’t recognise it for what it is.
Quality is found in the flow of something, and you need very little to learn this principle of life, this key of life. The quantity of things come and go, they rise and fall — it is the quality of things which is the true constant, the eternal aspect — so the key is in learning how to achieve the smooth rising and falling of everything, rather than keep repeating the poorer quality lifecycle experiences of big-bangs-and-black-holes, in physicist’s terms, or equivalent booms-and-busts, in economist’s terms.
Triggering your Multidimensional Nature through Associative Thinking
As time coaches, we are here looking to encourage associative thinking, or multi-directional thinking, and this can be achieved through the use of analogies, metaphors and the like.
Present day, in a nutshell, we hear the saying that ‘time is money’. Now inadvertently, what has been hit on here is an exceptional truth by way of metaphor and analogy, for if you were to study the ‘action’ and evolution of money systems, starting simple then getting more and more complex, you will also begin to understand the ‘action’ and evolution of time systems. And when you begin to do this, you then start to trigger certain parts of you, parts of your soul, which will bring you further learning and experience in this field of ‘time’. In other words, your perception of time will start ‘changing’ because you are starting to think ‘more-dimensionally’ — as such, your everyday ‘physical’ experience of time (and space) will correspondingly become ‘more-dimensional’ — in some ways, you begin to loosen the shackles of time, to expand your consciousness, where previously through ‘less-dimensional’ thinking you were becoming a slave to time, with the outbound journey of the ego trip and its contraction of consciousness becoming overdone.
Such associative thinking is no different to what quantum physicists do when undertaking ‘thought experiments’. Questions are asked, and the information is given, through insight and revelation, for then the ego’s intellect to deal with as it sees fit. The soul also has an intellect, a kind of broader or deeper intellect, but this has to be channelled through what is often called the intuition — it is essentially aspects of your body’s cellular knowledge ‘rising to the surface’, or at least seeking to meet you half-way.
Einstein, for example, knew how to ‘combine’ both the intuition and the intellect, to experience and express knowledge previously ‘unknown’, so creating an interdependent or supercharged or superego kind of output. Each individual is no different in this regard — the key is focusing on balancing your intellect and intuition, to first finding your own internal mental equality, for when they are taken too far out of balance with each other, when they become stereotyped and isolated, that is when problems really start to begin — that is when you start to get into mental and emotional ‘black hole’ territory. To quote a phrase from James Herbert’s science fiction novel Dune — fear is the mind-killer. Obviously with associative thinking, this statement is not just science fiction, it is also science fact, simultaneously. You simply need to move your mind to understand it from different points of perspective, different angles of perception.
Now let’s say that we are all ‘apprentice’ egos, and that many ‘master’ egos have lost their way in teaching us. What we then have to do is to learn from scratch, and this will involve elements of trial-and-error, and yes certain mistakes will be made in the process. But we can do it, everything is there in our everyday world for us to learn how to reach the crucial interdependent state of intuition-and-intellect, how to become mentally and emotionally supercharged, how to ‘quantum leap’ back to the future of being our multidimensional soul experience, individually and collectively.
‘Collapsing’ Time
Collapsing time is first and foremost a natural phenomena, and represents the ‘return journey’ of the ego back to the soul. In this context, it is important to remember that the ego (which is also the soul, a fragment or fractal of) is a time creator. Correspondingly, it is also a space creator, as in true nature the concepts of space and time are interchangeable — they represent and facilitate the same thing, which is to do the exploration and evolution of our conscious awareness.
Now to understand the fear experienced (and created) by the ego, or the ‘egonomic’ self as we may also call it, we simply need to look at our ‘economic’ landscape and climate. In simple and relative terms then, the collapsing of time in an egonomic sense is the equivalent of the collapsing of money in an economic sense (remember the phrase ‘time is money’).
Now when the ego gradually learns how to plan, or process, its soul journey in an increasingly ‘perfect’ way — this perfection being able to be materialised in a relatively infinite number of ways — this transition of time collapsing is seamless, it essentially goes unnoticed. What is happening then at more-than-microscopic levels, or quantum levels for want of a better phrase, is that time is always going through the process of building and collapsing, through the constant action of ‘mini’ black holes and white holes. The holes referred to here are one and the same holes, whether they are in their black or white states, remembering also that white ‘contains’ all colours. In other words, white holes are black holes, and vice versa, in the same way that a switch can be on or off, or binary code be 0 or 1. It is the same ‘data point’ or ‘coordination’ point. The power that then resides in the human mind is the power to ‘switch’, to be a ‘relay’ — in itself it has no intrinsic power relative to the bigger picture, in the same way that ultimately the ego has no intrinsic power relative to the soul. But then again, that is missing the point, literally.
The point is that the ego is the activator of its own experience, the creator, the manufacturer, of its own reality through the decisions made of when to work, and when to rest (always remembering that the perfection of ‘play’, the sweet spot, is to both work and rest simultaneously); when to go outward, and when to come inward; when to be one, and when to be nothing.
It is this fear of being nothing which is the mind-killer, as the ego can become more and more out of kilter on its outward bound journey — it gets increasingly tired and disabled, mistakes are increasingly made, and great harm can be done, individually and across the board. This is not a ‘good’ way to evolve, though it will still teach… in a devilish kind of way.
The fear is the same as someone saying I do not want the economy to crash as I will have less money, maybe none — I may even enter into negative equity (aka a seriously ‘extreme’ black hole in physicist’s terms) as I have over-extended myself and may soon be living on ‘borrowed’ time (money) that I’m not able to resolve without experiencing great pain, mental or otherwise.
But economies only ‘crash’ because we enter into a self-fulfilling prophecy or myth of wanting the quantity of money always to go up, and up, and up. Adopt a different — more-dimensional — belief system, and an economy which is allowed to smoothly flow up and down will bring far superior results, whether or not the money rises or falls.
In our physical world, our life experience and sustenance is built on constant exchanges of energy, with economic systems ‘built’ from ecosystems. Correspondingly, in our mental world, our life experience and sustenance is built on constant exchanges of energy, with egonomic systems ‘built’ from egosystems, which for convenience’s sake we may refer to as our ego and our soul respectively. In all of this it needs to be remembered that in true nature there is no change whatsoever in quantity, it is simply a constant rearrangement of what already exists — that is why the focus must always be on quality, and our success in seeking to ‘perfect’ or ‘optimise’ this process can be measured through our physical, mental and emotional experiences, as feedback systems.
We know with economic systems that you cannot ‘buck the market’ of energy exchange, and the same applies to egonomic systems. Eventually, any distorted or over-controlled market will resolve itself, simply because it has the balancing power of nature behind it. And the more this power of nature is repressed or over-manipulated, the greater the crash becomes, the big-crash-bang-wallop. This is the correction back to what would have been had mistakes not been made — one of the greatest mistakes being the focus on quantity, rather than quality first and foremost. It is quality which creates quantity, not the other way around.
In the Back To The Future trilogy, notably in BTTFII, Marty McFly became entangled in the world according to Biff because he focused on the quantity of money, even though Doc stopped Marty from taking the Sports Almanac back to 1985. What then is important to note here is that the mental action, the thought, comes first, and if you hold on to that thought or belief, if you ‘buy into it’, no matter if you do not go on to personally ‘perform’ the physical action, that thought will always seek form and action in one way or another. This is how you can become entangled in a superpositioned whole which is not to your liking — and the way to disentangle yourself, to move yourself into a more ‘optimised’ space-time continuum or life path, is to review and update your personal systems of thought, weeding out those which focus primarily on creating quantity, with little regard, even disregard, for the overall quality of life.
As you change your thoughts, then at more-than-microscopic levels, or natural-machine-code-levels, you are instantaneously flicking switches which will ‘rearrange’ the physical world to reflect your most current systems of thought — and the more this is done at a micro-egonomic levels, the greater the results will be generated at the superpositioned macro-egonomic level — the superego level.
It’s that easy in terms of knowing the process. You just need to remove the fear factor — the blockage — through ‘more-dimensional’ associative thinking, and from there you allow your true nature, your true egonomic self, to take its most direct course of least resistance back home to your soul — where you can fully refresh your whole self and be ready again to make your next ego trip, as you so decide, now knowing better how to create for yourself a ‘good time’.
And always remember, your soul has a mental gravitational pull, just as gravitational pulls exist in the physical world. You do not need to ‘generate’ energy for this process to complete, you simply need to let it go — you will then understand how to become, indeed to know how you already are, among many other things, a superconductor of time.
