The Explorer, “Let’s see what’s out there”

By Jerome Dechant
June 27, 2012

 The next moment, the one right after this one, no I mean this one…., is to some extent unknown as to what it will hold for us.  When we exist within the known world, what comes next is obvious, i.e., you will continue sitting here, reading this and it seems like not that much is changing or indeterminable.  From the mundane perspective, the laws of cause and effect are consistent and predictable, so even though the next moment is totally new and fresh, it likely will hold a very similar, yet progressed expression of the moment which preceded it.  Most people feel very comfortable with it being this way and of course, that’s fine.  This perspective is a mass perspective, that is to say, the majority of humans exist within this field of life experiencing.

 A few people venture into the unknown where what the next moment holds is more uncertain and certainly unpredictable.  These people are on the leading edge of life experiencing, venturing into the unknown to uncover what is there, so that eventually, the masses can move into this new field of life experiencing.  What at first was undiscovered, becomes discovered, then what was discovered, eventually becomes the common experience to the masses.  The people are the explorers; they are explorers who venture into the wilderness where no one has gone before.  These explorers venture into the unknown which pre-exists. For those explorers what is contained therein remains to be uncovered and discovered. 

There is another perspective one might consider, where the explorer is venturing at the edge of what is, beyond which it isn’t defined or created yet, what is beyond is pure potential and could unfold to be anything.  This isn’t really an exploration as much as a creation process.  Exploration is discovering what already exists, creationism is calling forth something out of the field of potential.  The image that comes to my mind is of an animation where a part of the image is black, and there is a figure of a person walking. Where he places his next step brings forth the path upon which his foot step will land, and with each step, a path is created where there was only a potential for absolutely anything to out picture. There is a scene in “Yellow Submarine,” The Beatles animated movie, where this sort of thing is similarly depicted as flowers manifesting behind the figure of one of the band members as he moves across the screen.  They weren’t there until he went there and created them. 

If you are on the leading edge of creationism, what is before you is potential, that is to say, there is a blank next moment which must be created in order to have a next moment to experience.  You choose what will be here at your next step.  The potential doesn’t make judgments about what is right or wrong, good or bad, it only unfolds without hesitation or judgment what is impressed upon it via the consciousness of the creator. 

The dangers an explorer may face are preexisting external to the explorer.  The dangers a creationist may face reside within his own psyche.  When you are on the leading edge of what is, and you are creating beyond that edge, you hold within you the dangers and blessings which have equal potential to manifest via your next step so to speak.  This transcends the ordinary and moves into the extraordinary, where fantasy can unfold into reality, where the story which unfolds is up to the creative author, painter, actor, singer or player.  

I have friends (really more acquaintances rather than personal friends,) who have a radio program named, “Cutting Edge Consciousness.”  I think their program expresses more in the field of explorers rather than creationists, because what they discuss and are uncovering/discovering already exists.  They are adding clarity to the mass held consciousness expanding that field of consciousness by their sharing their own discoveries.  In this respect, they are at the cutting edge of consciousness.  There is a lot which preexists still to be uncovered and discovered, and they are bringing to light ideas and experiences which haven’t been widely expressed and considered by the masses before, so they serve a very good and useful purpose. 

The creationist exists at the edge of what is and creates beyond the edge of preexisting manifestation so there is something for the explorers to uncover and discover.   

The adventurer/explorer who advances to the edge of pre-existing manifestation may be said to go beyond into the realm of fantasy.  What unfold is based upon the content of the consciousness which steps into the field of potential.  From this perspective, you may consider what we experience as reality is just as much a fantasy, but does not seem so because the fantasy is widely accepted as reality.  

Whether the masses will ever get to the edge of what exists and then therefore expand beyond the edge, remains to be seen.  For now, there are only a few who truly venture beyond the edge and expand it.  And what they create may or may not ever be uncovered or discovered by the masses because there is the infinity of potential and possibility from which these possibilities and potentials come forth.   

The creations of and within my dreams may never be realized by anyone else but me.  Likewise, the creations of your own dreams may never be realized by anyone else but you.  When you know you are dreaming, and you know you can unfold the dream to conform to your liking, you are venturing beyond the edge of mass consciousness into the greater field of potential.  When you are experiencing this, and aware of it, you are consciously creating, and expanding the edge of consciousness, at the very least for yourself, and potentially for the masses. 

At this point, you may want to reflect upon whether you are a creator or an explorer, or a mix of both, possibly being predominately one or the other.

Guru

By Jerome Dechant
June 25, 2012

Guru – one who takes you from darkness to light. (gu = darkness, ru = light)

In order for a Guru to take you from darkness to light, he/she must already be immersed within the light, otherwise he/she could not take you from darkness to light.

In our life journey, many people profess to be Gurus, but may not actually BE Gurus, but rather sign posts along the way. The ones who are not supportive and guide you towards the light are upon your path so that you may develop and learn discernment.

You may know a true Guru by the fact that he/she asks nothing of you because to the true Guru, He/She is immersed in the field of awareness and being where there is no difference between the Guru and the student/disciple. He/She is immersed in the field of ONENESS awareness. In this field of oneness is the realization of completeness. In the experiencing and being completeness, what could the Guru need that one still residing within darkness could provide? Nothing. But for the one who resides in darkness, the Guru is the light which illuminates his/her path through life, leading to the same awareness and being in which the Guru resides. The truth is, a true guru has everything he/she wants/needs, and if he/she doesn’t it is a very simple matter to manifest whatever that is, so he/she doesn’t have to depend on the student/disciple to get what he/she wants/needs, it comes directly from the Source according to the need and/or request, it doesn’t have to come through the student/disciple, unless that is the best way for it to come into manifestation.

If you come upon a supposed Guru who requires you to pay him/her for his/her teachings, that person is not a true Guru, but rather a sign post along the way, a possible helper or hinderer.

When the time is right, the Guru will appear, you need not seek him/her out. It’s a natural process like the process a seed goes through. The seed becomes the plant which eventually bears its fruit, which sustains you and nourishes you. Your part is to live your life as best you know how, and as life unfolds for you, by following your inner guidance and promptings, (which life itself is offering you,) you will come into the presence of your true Guru. You will know him to be within you as well as without you, the most beautiful being which is the light of you uncovered when the darkness fades away.

In the presence of Source Light, darkness is naturally dispelled.

Those who profess to be Gurus but aren’t true Gurus depend on and use your state of residing within darkness (ignorance,) so they may manipulate you for their own personal purposes and gain. In other words, they take advantage of your ignorance. It isn’t their intention to aid you into the light (knowingness,) because if they actually could bring you to the light, you’d realize they were using you which would be self defeating for these supposed Gurus.

The sign posts along the way are guides which can be used to aid you upon your life journey. Most guides/teachers are beneficial sign posts and are upon your path to aid you. That means it is good to acknowledge them for what they are, and not to imbue them with that which they are not.

You may know them by the fruit they bear, that is to say, if they are serving the light, their fruit will be sweet and nourishing for you, if they are not serving the light, and their fruit will be bitter and poison you.

“What Makes Love Work?”

By Jerome Dechant
June 16, 2012

A question was posed on the radio program “Cutting Edge Consciousness” in which Freeman Michaels and Barnet Bain provided their answer to the question was, “What makes love work?”

What follows is my answer to the question from a another perspective.

The question presupposes that love is a thing which works. In fact, love is not a “thing” at all. In other words, you can’t go to a store and buy love, although you may be able to go to a store and buy something named “love” but you can be sure, it isn’t in fact Love itself.

My understanding of love is based upon vibratory states of energy and my relationship to those vibratory states of energy. Consider vibratory states of energy express via a range of vibrations, a scale of vibratory frequencies. Somewhere in that scale of vibratory frequency is a frequency which may be identified as love. Considering love is an emotion, (emotion = energy in motion,) one could surmise there is an emotional scale. The emotional scale and vibratory scale are actually the same scale using different terms to express them.

Actually, everything is energy in motion therefore; it doesn’t make sense to attribute an emotion or emotions to a specific scale.

In order to make a measurement, you need to have a means to make a measurement, i.e. a fixed scale, and then you need something to be measured using that scale. In other words whatever you want to measure using that scale has to be measurable and relatable to the incriminations of that scale. The fixed scale is of course unchanging, static, always the same, otherwise it would not be useful to use as a scale.

If you know about energy and vibration, you may know that like vibrations attract like vibrations, or engender like vibrations. An example of this is a tuning fork which has been struck will radiate a vibration. If a guitar string is similarly tuned to the vibration the tuning fork, and the strength of the radiated vibration from the tuning fork is sufficient, the guitar string will begin to vibrate at the same frequency as the frequency radiated by the tuning fork.

Abraham, as brought forth by Esther Hicks speaks of an emotional scale which one can use to measure one’s progress towards or away from a desired result or goal. When measuring our vibration against the scale, we can tell whether we are moving towards or away from our desired goal by how we feel. The better we feel, (the more attuned we are to the source vibration of our being,) the more we draw similar vibrations into our life experiencing. If we are strongly struck like that tuning fork, we radiate a vibration which causes like vibrations to be engendered in our surroundings. The weaker vibratory states attune to the stronger vibratory states so there is harmony in vibratory states. Harmony in vibratory states is experienced emotionally as good feelings, while being out of harmony is experienced as bad feelings.

What this tells us is the closer we are to the vibratory state of our source vibration, the better we feel and the better our life experiencing is. Conversely, the more out of tune we are to our source vibration, the worse it feels and our life experience isn’t as good.

What is love then? We experience love when we come into proximity to people, places and things we are vibrationally similar to. It feels good because we are attuned to the vibrations being presented to us. If we are affected by a person, place or thing which engenders a feeling of love, you can be sure; their vibration is the vibration you are syncing up with, not the other way around. That’s why when you are in certain places, it feels really good to you, and why when you are with certain people, it feels really good to you. That’s okay to be subject to the influences of people, places and things around you, but you are not in control, your environment and the people around you cause your emotional states to vary. This can only happen if you are not well established as the source of your own vibrational beingness. The law of attraction states: like vibrations attract like vibrations, therefore in order to attract, you have to be the source of the stronger vibration which attracts or causes your environment to sync up with your vibration.

In order to reduce the influence of the prevailing vibrations in your surroundings, it behooves you to find the source of your own vibration within you, and thereby build up your own vibratory state which will radiate stronger than your surroundings. As you attune to your own source energy vibration, you become the strong radiant energy which others are attracted to, and begin to vibrate in synchronicity to. You cannot attract anything if you are not the source of the vibration which attracts.

Summary:

Love is a vibratory state in which there is harmony between vibratory state emitters/receivers.

Love is an indicator of moving towards what you want and or are in harmony with vibrationally.

The better the feeling, the closer you are to your source energy vibration.

Whenever you are experiencing negative emotions, the negative emotions are indicators your focus in that moment is moving you out of harmony with your source vibration, or is an indicator your vibration is not as strong as that of the surroundings and therefore you are beginning to sync up with those vibrations which are not in alignment with your source energy vibrational being. This is an indication to change your focus and or to remove yourself from that environment so you can more easily reestablish your own attunement with your source vibrational state.

In every moment, you can use the emotional guidance system to aid guide you towards experiencing more love and harmony in your life.

So, there you have it, this is how love works.

Inspired Thoughts...

by Jerome Dechant
June 8, 2012

Any inkling of delight in your life experiencing is a manifestation of touching the divine. If you only get a glimpse of it now and then, or if you are swimming in the delight reveals to you, through your experiencing, your proximity to the divine and the amount of resistance that surrounds you keeping you from realizing the full extent of delight always present for your experiencing.

Like a moth drawn to a light, let that little spark of delight guide you through your experiencing, let it grow into an ember, then a flame which burns brightly, bringing more and more bliss into your life experiencing, shedding the layers of stuff which have up until now, kept you, to some degree, in misery.

Of course, you can continue in your misery to whatever degree you want, if that is your choice.

Expressions out of the Zero Point Field

By Jerome Dechant
June 5, 2012

NOTE:  My prior blog had to do with telling about the zero point field.  This one sort of builds off of that one, so if you haven't read the prior blog titled "Zero Point Field"  I recommend you read it first as it lays the foundation for a greater understanding and application of the information contained within this blog. 

--- 

Out of the zero point field, each moment is springing forth to be experienced as a life experiencing.  These points or moments of expression come forth from the zero point field where all expressions are in a potential state and are neutral or of equal value to each other.  So why then do the expressions which come forth actually come forth?  The reason is because the weight of what is expressing and the next moment that is likely to express are greatest in potential for expression.

What does that mean?  It means we are not neutral in our expectations of what the next moment will come forth as.  We have expectations that there is continuity from one moment to the next, which means we expect from moment to moment, for instance, to be sitting here in this chair reading this until such a time we decide to get up and do something else.  The moments which spring forth are billions for just the period of sitting here, reading this and which we experience sequentially as our physical life expression in being.

If one had no expectation for what would express in the next moment, what could manifest in the next moment could be virtually anything because we are totally neutral to what the next moment could express as.  We could, from moment to moment, experience any one of an infinite number of possibilities from moment to moment.  There would be no continuity from one moment to the next; it could be a bit of a jumble of expressions, sort of like the bubbles which pop out of the top of a glass of soda pop.  There is neither rhyme nor reason for which bubble will pop out next it is totally random.  That is what happens when there are no weighted preferences for what will pop out next.

EVERYTHING comes forth from the zero point field of potential.  I establish my identity by the weighting of the field of potentials towards a specific identity. I establish my physical state and all other aspects of my being in expression in the same way.  And once I’ve established a specific identity, and a specific body and expression in being, by so establishing those weighted potentials towards expression, I come forth and express accordingly.  The tendency to further express from moment to moment in this weighted potentials expression therefore unfolds with continuity of expression from moment to moment.  Also, once this weighted potential of expression is set into motion, it becomes less likely that my moment to moment experiencing will be random moment by moment expressions. 

The field of potentials still exists with undifferentiated potentials for every other expression, yet I only experience this identity, and not every identity, or another identity.  While it is possible to expand identity to include more than one identity within a body, this sort of expression is observed as schizophrenia which is typically considered an abnormal state.

I have a list of specific weighted potentials for the expression or manifestation of my physical body, my mental state, and my way of being.  Because I’ve either consciously chosen these weighted potentials, or because whatever they are were in harmony with other aspects of weighted potentials, sort of like a family of vibrations.  If you choose this vibration, other vibrations which are in the near vicinity, being very similar in vibration also cling to the weighted potential.  This is because of their similarity and proximity they are pulled along further establishing the weighted potential in a fuller expression.

In order to express differently from this moment to the next, the weightiness of our expressed potential, (which by the way is no longer a potential once it is expressed,) that which is in expression can be replace by something which is of equal potential in weightiness.  Sort of like, I could easily wear red socks today, as I could wear blue socks and so because whether they are red or blue is of equal weight, I could easily change from one color to the other and it would not make much difference to me.

In order to change a bodily state, such as being thin or heavy, typically is not a neutral state choice, that is to say, we have a tendency to maintain a certain body state because our potential to be thin in one moment and heavy in the next moment are not equal.

When whatever state of expression you are in is equal to another state of expression you’d like to be in, you can easily change these states of expression just like you’d easily be able to change your socks.  If you want to experience changes in your life, consider this equilibrium between the two choices which is necessary in order to enable the change.  As long as the current state and another state are not balanced in value from the potential perspective, you will be unable to experience the change.

If you want to avail yourself of being able to easily transition from one state to another, you must remain neutral to those possibilities, to those potential states in expression so that you can easily transition from one state to the next.

Zero Point Field

By Jerome Dechant
June 2, 2012

The mind, or thoughts, cannot enter the zero point field because as thoughts they are identifiable variations or distortions to the field.  Actually, they can enter the field, but once they do, they become undistinguishable from all other thoughts within the field.  The zero point field actually contains everything and nothing at the same time, so that when a thought enters into the zero point field, it becomes equal to every other thought that exists, that is to say, it is not distinguishable as a thought; it melts into the undifferentiatedness which is a characteristic of the field.

An interesting thing is; you cannot maintain a thought in the zero point field, but thoughts spring forth from it all the time.

So if you are thinking about entering the zero point field and wondering how you can get there, you have to leave your intention to continue thinking at the threshold of the field; you also have to leave who and or what you think you are at the threshold as well, because upon entering, your identity no longer has a meaning or significance, you are not identifiable or differentiated from that which is the zero point field.

In the zero point field, you cannot make things happen, but you can let things happen.

As an example:  You can plant a seed in fertile soil and make sure the seed is properly watered.  Then you must wait for the seed to grow.  If the seed is a good seed, it will grow of its own volition.  So, what you CAN do is choose the seeds you desire, properly plant them into the proper environment and provide nutrition to facilitate the growth of the seed.  The rest is up to nature.  Once you plant the seed, you must let it go in order to allow it to unfold naturally.

If you plant an apple seed, you can expect to grow an apple tree.  If you plant an apple seed and expect an orange tree, you won’t get what you expect but rather what the actual seed holds within itself.  That is to say, an apple seed doesn’t contain the instructions to become an orange tree; it contains instructions to become an apple tree.

The reason I bring this up is because we often plant apple seeds and expect oranges, in other words what we are planting cannot provide us with what we want.  When you are angry and unsettled, but you want to be happy and at peace, you cannot plant seeds of anger and unsettledness and expect to reap happiness and peace.  Whatever you plant is what you will get.  If you don’t like what you are getting it is because you aren’t planting the seeds for what you like.  What you are getting is the best indicator of the seeds you have been planting.  If you have been consistently getting what you don’t like, it is because you are consistently planting the seeds which bring that forth.  It isn’t the gardens fault that you are getting what you don’t want, it is just doing what it does naturally, so blaming the garden won’t change your results.  What will change the results is changing the seeds that you are planting so that they are in fact what you want.  When you plant seeds of happiness and peace, you will naturally reap happiness and peace.

Where is the Zero Point Field?

The zero point field is everywhere and nowhere at the same time.  It exists and doesn’t exist at the same time.  It is everything and nothing at the same time.

If it is everywhere, wherever you are, you are in it and it is in you.  It is nowhere because while it exists it is undifferentiated and therefore doesn’t exist in a relative sense.  To exist in a relative sense, it would have to contain differentiation which it doesn’t.  It exists and doesn’t exist because it transcends relativity, or is in a higher state of being than the relative state of being.

Another way to understand that last statement is by considering dimensions. From a one dimensional perspective, that is all you are able to perceive, the one dimension.  When you enter the second dimension, it contains everything which was perceived in the one dimension plus added possibility and perspective which wasn’t accessible in the one dimension.  To continue the expansion, when you enter the third dimension, all of what was contained within both the one and two dimensional perspective is accessible within the third dimension plus yet another perspective, which expresses as length, width and height.

It may be hypothesized that if there are 3 dimensions which progressively add data and perspective which contains that which is contained in lesser dimensions, then it stands to reason, that there are more dimensions which expand perspectives and contain additional data beyond the three dimensions we find ourselves currently identified with.  Therefore it may be understood that the zero point field is actually another dimension, which from our perspective, contains all perspectives and data contained in lesser dimensions.  Because it is undifferentiated and contains everything and nothing, it may be logical to assume it is the highest dimension we can postulate exists.

Out of the undifferentiated zero point field springs forth the differentiated expression in being.  In the zero point field, the potential for you to be happy is equal to the potential for you to be sad, and everything in between.  In the zero point field you ARE happy and sad, and everything in between.  You ARE rich and poor and everything in between.  You are good and bad and everything in between.  I could go on with this idea and apply it to all the opposites and everything between them, because the principle remains the same throughout the entire field.

Because there is no differentiation between any of the polarities and variations between them, how then is it that I appear to be me, and how is it that I am expressing or manifesting now as I am when I exist in all expressions from the zero point perspective?

Using the garden analogy previously stated, you are the natural growth of the seed which has sprung forth from the zero point field base upon its natural inclinations of expression.

What does the seed which was planted and grew out of the zero point field, which has resulted in this expression I call me, contain?  In other words, what am I growing into?  What is the seed that was planted?

You may know what the seed is by the fruit it bears.  In other words, you may know what you are by how you are expressing and growing.

That doesn’t answer my question clearly enough.

Does an apple tree know it is an apple tree and not an orange tree, or does it just know it is a tree?  As it is growing, contained within the seed are the instructions to grow into an apple tree and to eventually bear apple fruit.  Does the apple tree care that it is an apple tree?  It certainly doesn’t have a choice to be something which it is not.  In other words, an apple tree can’t turn into a bird, or dog, or butterfly, or ant, can it?

If the seed contains within its makeup the ability to transform into another expression in being, then, yes, it could choose to transform into another form.

So that is a contradiction from what was previously stated in that if you plant an apple seed, you cannot get a dog or cat, you can only get what the seed is.  The natural process unfolds according to the instructions contained within the seed.  In order for an apple seed to be able to be a dog or cat, those instructions would have to be contained within the seed.  And, if such instructions where contained within the seed, then it would not be a plain apple seed which would only grow into an apple tree.

You are a seed brought forth from the zero point field; therefore you contain within you the potential which is contained within the zero point field.  A seed springs forth from its source; therefore it is another expression of that which it came from.  An apple seed comes from an apple which grew from an apple tree. 

I am a zero point field because that is where I came from.  Herein resides the understanding expressed as: I and my Father are one.
