On Consciousness


” The whole drift of my education goes to persuade me that the world of our present consciousness is only one out of many worlds of consciousness that exist, and that those other worlds must contain experiences which have a meaning for our life also; and that although in the main their experiences and those of this world keep discrete, yet the two become continuous at certain points…… the total expression of human experience, as I view it objectively,
invincibly urges me beyond the narrow ‘ scientific ‘ bounds.”

William James

( from “The Varieties of Religious Experience” p p 563- 4 )

    Within the Aquarian age – the age of truth, enlightenment, awakening, and liberation, the greater part of humanity will become aware of other dimensions, and also the interconnecting links between the dimensions. How soon this occurs depends on how many individuals have the courage to open their minds, because then the collective energy from these courageous, open minds will pour (and is pouring) into the Universal Mind to create a secure pathway for others to follow (if they choose to investigate and follow this wondrous pathway).

  2. Thank you for this optimistic affirmation of where we may be heading….
