The Clip Plane of our Perceptions.

By Jerome Dechant
Sept. 13, 2013

In video games the limiting of how far you can see is what is called a clip plane.  What that is, is a way to reduce the amount of surroundings you can see so that your computer doesn't lag out due to being overwhelmed with the amount of computation and rendering required to be able to see the entire world to the horizon.  The way it works in some games is a fog block the view so you only see to a distance that the game automatically picks for you, or you are able to adjust according to the performance of your computer.

Okay, so now that you know that, what does that have to do with you and me?

When one considers Oneness and the Here Now reality, of which we are a part, all manifest and un-manifest creation is currently and always present in the Here Now moment. The ever present One Being is eternal, i.e. without beginning or end, which is true of Now, of Now, of Now.  Now is ever present and eternal and eternally IS everything.

The human experience doesn't normally include an awareness of the entirety of what is right here, right now.  Our perceptions are “clipped” so we can function within the world environment we find ourselves right here, right now.

Expansion of consciousness is actually like extending the filter which limits our perceptions of all that is in this here now moment.  It is like adjusting the video game clip plane so we can become aware of more of what is and has always been here now.

I use to think of this all as though I was peeling away the skin and layers of an onion, until I finally got to the inside to find what is there, but I think it might be a better analogy to use that what is at the center of the onion is my human, limited perception of reality.  Now from the inside, I find there are layers upon layers of filters which limit my perception of what is.  As I remove the layers or filters of perception I've enveloped myself in, what once was not available to me through my limited perception perspective, is enlarged to include more awareness of what is and has always been Here Now.

Breaking through our filters of perception.

In order to make progress towards greater awareness and therefore expanded life experiencing, one has to first of all realize, whatever expression in life he/she is currently experiencing, isn't the ultimate life experience in being.  In other words, to use another analogy, you first have to realize you are an alcoholic to be in a position to seek treatment for your alcoholism.   And, you have to have confidence that there is a way to be “cured” or “treated” to go beyond being an alcoholic.

I know my current perceptions of reality are limited, primarily to the extent of my physical body senses.  I have some inkling of that “something” out there, but it is not clear, it is foggy.   I know through listening to other people’s life experiences, people who have attained a greater awareness in being, that what I am perceiving is limited by comparison.  This also tells me, that if they have expanded their consciousness, so can I.

Some people break through the barriers of their perception by use of drugs.  While that gets one the direct experience of what is “out there,” it isn't enduring, and can be scary and unsettling if you aren't really ready to break through.  As someone said, DMT is like going through the window into the expanded awareness, where you only get a very short but intense peek at it.  That is good in that it confirms, through direct experience, there is “something out there” beyond our current perception.  A better way might be to find the door through which we can go, the open door, which allows us to come and go as we choose.

This is the quest.  Find the door.  Go through, stay as long as you want, can come back when you are ready to.  When we return to our limited perception reality with the insights and awareness of what we've experienced beyond the fog of our current perceptions, we are empowered to function more intelligently and purposefully in this human life experiencing.  If we go, experience, then return and are not positively affected by the experience, and don’t apply what we've learned.  What then is the point of even going?  It is essential and natural for our life to expand and change and grow through everything we experience, whether we are consciously aware of it or not.

So, I put that task to you, this is the quest I offer you.  Seek the doorway, go through, come back as a changed being, and live the life which is always here now to live.

You can look through the window, and that might appease your curiosity, but not much more.  Find the door so you can come and go without the need for drugs or other things to push you through to the other side.

There is an open door.  “Ask and it is given.  Knock and it will be opened to you.”

Go through with an open mind and a loving heart so that your adventure is pleasing to you.

Knock Knock!

The Whole Enchilada

By Jerome Dechant
1/28/2013

Complete being is realized in the acknowledgement and embodiment of oneness.

Most beings come into human physical existence and it dawn on us “Me, and not me.”  “You are not me, that is not me,” are ingrained, so much that we form an identity around that concept which colors our beingness through experiencing separation and individualization.  This opens avenues for infinite possibilities in diversity and forms around our perception/awareness as separate beings in an infinite universe.

This is totally immersive to the point in experiencing beingness; the idea to pursue the possibilities presented by the concept of Oneness can easily be disregarded and/or overlooked.  Experiencing beingness from the Oneness perspective is a different experience than the “me, not me” experience.  In this recognition:  the “me, not me,” is contained, experienced and realized within the one being.

Concepts like good and bad are related to the “me, not me” perspective, so are light and dark separated and identified as separate “things” or “expressions” with opposite polarities and therefore different. 

In the pursuit of goodness one may so identify with that which is perceived as “good” that a great divide is built up between “good” and “bad”, Light and Dark.  And within this separation, there are degrees of quality of “goodness” and “badness” where the supreme goodness is seen as holy and divine while the supreme badness is seen as depraved and evil.  There is a spectrum of experiencing upon this scale of extremes where one is always experiencing some degree of “goodness/badness”. These experiences are defined by society; promoted or condemned depending on how off center the experiencing is.

When one is on this ride, it is much like a rollercoaster ride with lots of ups and downs, turns and bumps which sometimes make us scream and other times make us laugh.  It is all too obvious; in order to experience the ride, one has to get on the ride and go through the experiencing from the rider’s perspective. The rider’s experiencing is contained within the Oneness experiencing as a part of oneness, not the whole of it.  The Oneness perspective includes awareness being the rider, the ride, the environment in which the ride is, all of it, simultaneously and constantly.

While the rider experiencing being is dynamic in scope, it pales in scope when the broader complete oneness experiencing is embraced.  This may suggest one experiencing is more favorable than the other, yet I suggest they are both equal in value and worth experiencing. 

What if it isn’t an “either or choice”, what if it is an “and” choice.  What if one can fully and immersively experience riding from the individual perspective while also fully and immersively experiencing the Oneness experience as well.  This is a paradigm shift in awareness in being!

Whatever our current experiencing is, it is a perfect unfolding moment by moment.  It isn’t better or worse while at the same time it is better or worse. (This means the oneness perspective is all inclusive.)  We are where we are on the ride; we are experiencing this moment right now the only way we know because this moment right now is the moment we are present in.  Whether we like it or not is irrelevant to our experiencing this presence although whether we like it or not colors our experiencing.

When embracing Oneness perspective we find within this experiencing our own supreme divinity and supreme evility at the same time, and understand both extremes are equally essential expressions within oneness where we cannot have one without the equal possibility of the other.

So, I accept completely that I am supremely divine.  I also accept completely that I am supremely evil too.  Both are potentials in extreme, that is to say, as an individual, I don’t have to identify with one or the other, yet which ever potential I lean towards colors my life experiencing to the degree I tend towards that direction of expression.

There is a predominate thought being promoted which states that we are divine beings, supremely perfect and complete, which is absolutely correct.  The part that is often intentionally, or unintentionally overlooked or hidden from view, is that within this perfect completeness, we are also supremely imperfect as well.

Remember oneness is ALL inclusive.

Best regards,

Jerry

A Poem: TIME

By Jerome Dechant
Jan. 20, 1997

The tick-tock, tick-tock of the clock,

Has turned to a silence or maybe a slight hum.
I kind of miss that tick-tock clock as my Grandma use to rock,
Me in her lap with a sweet melody she’d hum.

The time keeps going, going, going,

On its long and endless journey,
To who knows what it will be showing,
As we move along into what will be.

Time is such a constant thing,

It gives me a chance to rest,
Then makes my clock ring,
Which disturbs my slumber nest,
Of comfort, warmth and calm,
I should bound out from this peace,
But find it hard to get release,
From the night’s balm.

One more moment of rest will be just fine,

I know I’ll feel better in just a minute,
Pulling the covers close to this face of mine,
Savoring the feeling of comfort in it.

Time oh time, you keep me going,

And bring me life’s joys and pains,
On this journey of life unfolding,
Where the loves outnumber the pains,
When I count the days gone by so fast,
I wonder how long this time will last.

I touch very few people...

Externally, I touch very few people's lives with my words and deeds.

There is a place in me, and there is a place in you, where there is no "you" or "me,"  where we are one.

When I am attuned to this place, this is the place where I touch all existence.

When I am immersed in this non-identity oneness, I touch all that is, I am all that is.

As you attune to this place, it is true for you as well.

The Full Spectrum

by Jerome Dechant

Spet. 20, 2012

I am fairly sure everyone who has vision capabilities has seen and marveled at the sight of a rainbow.  They are a beautiful and magnificent example of the visible light frequency spectrum.  I indicated visible light frequency to express our human vision does not perceive the full spectrum of light waves, and actually, only a small portion of the full spectrum of light waves.  Yet, what we can see in a rainbow is amazing none the less.

The reason I mention rainbows is because they are a visible expression of a light spectrum, a scale of light frequencies where the scale starts at one color and transitions on through the scale to visually express all the colors of the rainbow.  In a numerical sense one might equate that scale as being zero to 100, with 100 representing the totality or highest vibrational frequency in expression.  (Obviously, this example in numerical values is representative and not actual.)

This is important because it forms the basis and foundation for understanding on how the manifestation process works.  Being the foundation, everything is built upon this understanding:  The Full Spectrum of vibration is the Source and substance of all manifestation.

The law of attraction states like vibrations attract like vibrations.

In order for like vibrations to attract like vibrations there must be other vibrations which exist simultaneously which are not “like” vibrations and therefore are not attractive.  So there has to be a vibration for happy to be attractive as well as a vibration of sad to also be attractive and all feeling states between those two vibrations as well.

Our experiencing as human beings is a limited range of vibrational states somewhere within the full spectrum of vibrations states I named as the Source.  Similar to our visual capacity, our vibrational experiencing capacity is limited so that most human beings seldom, if ever experience the full spectrum of vibrational states on the whole.  To restate this in another way using the rainbow visual as an analogy, I might be experiencing the vibrational states between the colors of yellow and green, (purely an arbitrary example of range.)  It actually could be greater or smaller than that as far as vibrational experiencing goes.

To bring this idea to an immediate experience understanding, what you are experiencing right now is an expression of your vibrational state of being.  This experiencing right now does not encompass the full range of vibrational states, i.e.: happy, sad, good, bad, rich, poor, etc., or we typically aren’t experiencing being happy and sad at the same time, or good and bad at the same time because those polarities are at different ends of the vibrational scale.  We know these vibrational states exist because we have experienced them.  That is important because our current expression in human beingness is experiential.

In the video clip I’ve attached, the person being interviewed expresses his discontent. What he is basically wanting is for the rainbow to include only his preferred parts of the spectrum and that is because some parts of the spectrum are so undesirable to him. 

To use another analogy, which Abraham has used, it is sort of like him only liking certain things on the buffet and wanting everything else removed from the buffet because he is pretty sure no one else wants that stuff on the buffet.  What that sort of attitude does is reduces the number of variables or choices available in the manifestation process.  In order to facilitate the greatest variety of choices, a full spectrum of vibrations is essential so that rather than limiting the choices the choices are limitless.  Within that “limitlessness,” the darkest deepest most depraved states or vibrations are equally present along with the greatest light, most divine states of vibration.  They both exist equally and simultaneously as possibilities and options for choice.

By his attention to the vibrations he doesn’t want, he brings those vibrations into his life experiencing, that is to say, they pop out as identifiable to him because he identifies with them vibrationally, he has put his attention on those things he does not want which means he hasn’t put his attention on what he DOES want.

As a reminder of what I stated previously, we can only experience a narrow span of vibrational frequencies in any given moment, that is to say, we are unable to experience what we don’t want in the same moment of experiencing what we do want.  It is either or. 

When something comes to your attention that is not to your liking, that is an indicator for you to create the polar opposite of it by redirecting your attention to creating what you do want, and you do that by paying attention to what you want more than what you don’t want.  Vibrationally speaking, it is a matter of shifting frequencies from one to the other.  Often, the difference in vibration from the one state to the other is broad enough that we are unable to instantly switch frequencies, so that what is then necessary is to progressively move from the unwanted state vibration towards the wanted state vibration.  We move towards the wanted vibrational state by incrementally shifting our vibration towards the wanted state vibration.  You may know you are moving in the right direction by how you feel.  Typically, what you want feels better than what you don’t want, so being aware of how you feel is a good indicator of the direction you are heading.  If life is getting better and better, you are in the flow and moving consistently towards what you want.  If life is getting harder and harder, you are moving away from what you want, therefore it is time to shift your attention back towards what you do want.

As we shift our vibrational state to higher frequencies, we are climbing the ladder of vibrational frequencies so that we move further and further away from the lower vibrational states.  As we do so, they fall off the radar so to speak, it doesn’t mean those lower vibrational states no longer exist but rather they are so far removed from our current vibrational state that we no longer perceive them as possibilities or choices.  Remember, our life experiencing in any given moment is a very small expression of the full spectrum of vibrational states in existence.

Our job is to pay attention to where our focus is, how we are feeling and whether or not we are moving towards what we want.  It is also our job to allow everyone else this same freedom of choice to choose or not to choose whatever it is they want for their own life experiencing.  In order to “fix” the world, we must “fix” our attention upon what we want most intently and powerfully.  The world will reflect back to us our point of attention and focus, that is to say, like vibrations attract like vibrations.  By focusing upon joy and fulfillment each moment, we are broadcasting those vibrations to the universe and thereby bring those experiences more fully into our lives.  Also, as we powerfully focus on the “good” vibrations, others are influenced by that focus which brings those “good” vibration possibilities within the spectrum range of their life choices, thereby the world becomes a better place to live and be.

So let us let the full range of vibrational states exist, have compassion for those who dwell in the lower vibrational states and endeavor to move up to higher and higher vibrational states of expression in being by maintaining our focus and attention upon what we want, paying attention to our feelings to guide us upon the path of our life experiencing. 

Joseph Campbell said it best, “Follow your bliss.”

The full spectrum contains everything.  As human beings that spectrum is the source of our choices, the potential for our expressing our human beingness.  We will always find a vibrational match which is being attracted to us, and reflected as our life experiencing, thereby we move within and through the full spectrum vibration.

A Poem: As I Was, as I AM

I've been going through my belonging, throwing away stuff that I haven't touched in years as part of my new activities now that I've retired, (possibly temporarily,) from the 9 - 5 work-a-day life.  In so doing, I've come across some poems I wrote.  I've posted one of them below.  I hope you enjoy it.  If you like it, please share the link to this blog with your friends and family.

Thanks.


As I Was, As I AM

By Jerome Dechant
Jan. 23, 1997

Oh Lofty and endless sky,
Lift me up and carry me to the stars and beyond,
To a time and place where my heart beats,
With the pulsing sounds of loving joy,
Revealing my experience of being,
In this oneness of being.

Oh blessed arms of angels,
Hold me close and dearly in your care,
That I might find the peace you long for me to share,
Guide me gently with tender touches of my thoughts and feelings,
That I may journey the path less traveled and find my true abode there.

Oh soft gentle breezes,
Caress me and my unfurling garments,
And loose them to the ground below,
Like feathers they gently fall, rolling, turning and swaying they flow,
In thy unseen hands, landing softly on the green grass below.

Oh nakedness revealed, show me thy truth,
Let no answer for long held secrets be denied.
Expose to me as I have exposed my nakedness to the sun,
The meanings of my being, and the reasons for my seeing,
All this above me and below me, within me.

Oh timeless time that holds me aloft in this dreamy realm,
Carry me on to another clock that no longer sounds the end of my joyous refrain,
Unravel the cloth of space that binds me in.
Strike only the joy of my heart as the beating of a constant drum,
Sound only the glee of freedom as a loving alert to those around.

Oh forever young am I in this sky, in these angel arms,
Ever lifted higher and higher and made bare by these soft breezes that hold me up.
In this timeless time of being, of seeing, of me, is the truth revealed,
And am I made whole, as I was, as I AM.
