One Whole, Many Parts:
Spirit Splits
From
one Supreme Being, as it folds out of nothingness at the beginning
of a Grand Cycle, to myriads of
individual spirits who populate the universe, there must be a
certain process of repeated splits happening, a bit like a tree
which first grows one sprout out of a seed, then this sprout splits
into two, and so on, until we have a grown tree.
At
the end of a Grand Cycle, the reverse process would re-merge all
these individual spirits into one big being, who then folds back
into nothingness. Some people remember some of this process - also
called individuation - in their sessions, but so far no complete
encyclopedia about it exists.
 However,
there are theories about how the hierarchy of soul groups and
families is structured. A famous one is being passed around by the
Michael Teachings school - just one of
several.
We are
not convinced that the Supreme Being is willing to submit himself to
any strict system like that. In our opinion he or she can have new
ideas about how to produce an additional soul or spiritual being at any
time, and even if Michael's system does exist and is valid, some
parallel systems could be around - or spring into existence in 2.34
seconds from now!
We simply assume that the Supreme Being, who has no specific
location and is not bound to the linear time we experience on the
Earth plane, can reach into space and time at any given moment and
do something new and unexpected.
Fascinating is the account of out-of-body pioneer
Robert Monroe, who
reports in his books how during his out-of-body experiences
(OBEs) he followed a cord or string backwards to a bigger "disk" of
soul fragments to which he belonged. His quite vivid description
does have some similarity with the illustration above, so we
can all be curious what will wait for us after our physical death -
a tearful reunion with our "disk", or maybe our soul family will welcome us with a big party with cake,
dancing and fireworks?
In
Life Lesson Processing (LLP), we do not strictly subscribe to any of these systems,
simply because we don't want to invalidate the potential many by
acknowledging only one.
We focus on our client's life and his or her life lessons. If he
wants to align with any one of these schools and finds his lessons in
the system it is teaching, we will work with that system and adjust
our processing to it.
Definition of Self -
Individuality
One
thing seems to be certain, which is that the
individual spiritual
being is a "Child of God", an offspring of the Divine, so in some
way or other we all emerge from the All-That-Is, group soul or no
group soul - and will return to it at the end of our existence as an
individual.
This
act of emerging from an originally unlimited potential, where
absolutely everything is possible, makes for the polarity
Self/Other which has so high importance for us in processing.
The first thing that a spiritual being defining himself must do is
to decide where, when and what he is, and where, when and what he is
not. Being green means that he is not red. Being in Africa means
that he is not in Australia. Being in today means that he is not in
yesterday, and not in tomorrow.
He
must set a million switches to either 0
or 1, just like a computer program. The combination of these switch
settings will then make him a totally unique Self which does not
exist a second time, even though there are "relatives" (maybe this
is what soul families are about?) This individuality is not only important for
himself: also the big picture of All-That-Is can only
paint
itself clearly when each of its "dots" or pixels are well
defined, even if that means a sharp contrast with others.
So,
in working out with our clients who they truly and fully are, we
will have them look at this "self/other" distinction quite a lot, to
make sure that they find their true self under all the ideas and
labels and pictures and energies that parents, children, teachers, society and
the pope have thrown at them over time. Basically it is simple -
"self" is what they think and feel when they are alone,
truly alone, not only without any other body in the room but also
without any other consciousness modulating their own - and
everything else is "other" to some greater or smaller degree.
Viewpoints In Processing
As a general rule, an experience is fully
understood when all the items that a viewpoint produced are
completely examined, the tensions between the viewpoints resolved,
and anything incomplete completed. Not only incomplete
lessons can
be buried in a past key experience - there are also communications
that have not been fully delivered, energy flows that have been held
back or stopped by opposition, masses that result from colliding
impulses, thoughts that have been suppressed - and a whole world of
material that has been thrown at a person by one or several or many
viewpoints of the Other category. All that needs sorting out.
Now theoretically there could be very many
viewpoints involved in every single one of our experiences, because
every cell, every organ, every sun in every galaxy, every asteroid,
every microbe, every molecule, every atom and every person in every
world has their own consciousness and their own viewpoint and would
look at this very same event
from a totally different angle.
Theoretically a daisy flower on the other side
of the globe or a flake of dust on one of Jupiter's moons are all
connected with the scene while a married couple has an argument, a
soldier shoots an enemy, or a shark eats a smaller fish. If we asked
them all - only to get the answer "Oh, I didn't pay attention!" -, we would need forever to
interrogate all possible
viewpoints about one single moment of time!
So we concentrate on what we call the
Relevant Viewpoints, those who are active in a specific
situation because they are present in it - of comparable size and
close enough to participate - looking, talking, moving, acting - and
most of all: awake, aware. Dormant viewpoints are interesting as a
concept, as they may have an influence on awake viewpoints in making
them sleepy, but unless we have a problem with sleepiness, we work
only with awake viewpoints.
Viewpoints And Their Energetic
Output
The image below shows some of
the main items that any Self will produce, and where they are
supposed to be located in the
subtle bodies - marked with dark red color (a much more
complete documentation can be found in the works of
Barbara Ann
Brennan). Also it shows
the main types of Others whom we typically encounter in our
sessions, marked with dark blue color. A special "Other" is our own
Body, which is why we have marked it in green.

Relevant Viewpoints in Life
Lesson Processing
|
Self
Self - the spiritual being, "Myself".
Often, but not always, incarnated in a physical body. In Life Lesson
Processing it is essential to make a person the sole owner of his or
her impulses, feelings and
thoughts. The influence of any "other"
person or viewpoint is examined so thoroughly that no factor of it
is hidden, out of sight, or "underground" anymore. We don't have to obsess about
getting rid of any and all influences - but we want to distinguish
them clearly from our own self. For
some people, in some situations, "Self" can act as a group
identity - the couple, the family, the company, a nation,
even the whole planet. Such people are rare, but they exist.
We are looking at the emerging phenomenon of
group consciousness
here. In processing, we can make allowance for such a
"bigger me" with special phrasing. |
Identity
A Split part of self
- described here in
greater detail. A client
feels that there is more than one personality active in him.
They can disagree with each other, or fight for resources
(body time, money) or dominance (who decides what to do).
Sometimes they have different locations in the body,
sometimes they just have different opinions, or mood levels,
or wishes and needs.
Example: a lady's "Athlete" identity is
totally suppressed by the "Cook", the "Nurse", the "Nanny"
and the "Lover". All of these identities are happy, but the
athlete is gloomy because she never gets time to run a
marathon. Her low emotions contaminate all the others until
they are cleaned up in processing. |
|
Body
Body - the physical vehicle in whom we are
incarnated. Ideally we are aware of the difference between ourselves
and our body. Ideally we are a good team, like a horse with his
rider. Unfortunately, there are often tensions between
body and
spirit. Well, that's what processing is for!
Our body is technically an "Other", but we
often perceive it as ourselves. Actually it is its own "Self", who
can have quite different ideas about how to live life. Just ask a
priest's body about celibacy, or a supermodel's body about chocolate
cake - quite dramatic tension can build up between a body and its
owner, believe it! In Life Lesson Processing, we pay close attention
to such tensions, and also make sure that our client develops a
caring attitude toward
the body and does not mistreat it. |
Other
Other - another spiritual being, another person
like "Myself", a different "Me". In practice,
anybody whom we meet - parents, kids, spouses, business
partners, cats, dogs, space aliens...
The strong contrast and
near-opposition between "You" and "Me"
is a key characteristic of 3rd density existence. In the upcoming
4th density we go toward integration and group identity - "You
+ Me = We"
becomes a stronger concept, and "You <> Me" softens or disappears. We
are not going to discuss
Lyssa Royal's density cosmology here any
further, but it is highly interesting and worth studying it!
One very important "Other" is our own
Body, which is why we have placed it in its
own category. |
|
Body Perception Center
Body Perception Center - a location in the body
that perceives differently than other locations, and has its own
urges and feelings. We will not follow any pre-defined system here, as there are
too many of them. We simply work with what our client perceives in
the here and now. If he perceives five perception centers in his
hand today, one in each finger, and tomorrow the whole hand is one
perception center, we address the five fingers today and the whole
hand tomorrow.
Body perception centers often develop tensions
among each other, which can be dissolved in processing. Example: chest
enjoys deep breathing of fresh air during a mountain walk, but knees
are stressed and complain, and maybe stomach is hungry. Good that
they have a caring commander who will give the knees some rest while
the stomach gets food, and keeps the chest happy by promising her
that the walk will continue in a few minutes! Now this is not a
serious situation, but where the body gets injured or strongly
suppressed, a real outrage can come from body perception centers.
|
Entity
Entity - a separate unit of consciousness of a
non-physical nature. The "demons" of Christian fame. Entities are
"other", but can be located inside "myself" and mix images, emotions or
thoughts into our own. People who
"hear voices" may be just hearing entities? Entities can be located
inside or outside our physical body or subtle bodies. Like any other
physical or spiritual being, they have as much power over us as we
assign to them. So some people make their "demons" very fearsome and
then fear them a lot... processing handles all that. Ideally we have
no entities around. They are not the same as
Guidance, also not the
same as "ghosts" (people currently without a physical body). |
|
Guidance
Guidance - a non-physical person who assists us
in a similar way an older brother or mentor or coach would assist us. They used to be
called "Guardian Angels", a modern name would be "Spirit Guide". Some introduce themselves with specific
names, but not all of them have a name, and sometimes there are
several of them, they alternate or work in a group. Guidance is not
a morphic field, it is a separate viewpoint.
It is also not an entity, which
would be a separate viewpoint, but does not belong to our
"spiritual team". We can discuss with
Guidance, and either accept or reject their suggestions. Typically their
advice is good, but they are not infallible - just like any other
teacher or coach. |
|
Morphic Field
Morphic field - in our context the
consciousness field of a family, group or culture. It is not
entirely composed of its members' individual fibres of
consciousness, like a group identity or group consciousness would
be. The morphic field has a strong tendency to shape, equalize and
control its members. It could be seen as a puppet master who slips
into his puppets and operates them from inside their own selves,
while a genuine group consciousness is entirely propelled by its
individual members who act in a self-determined way. Their main
difference is the factor of enforcement which is present in
the morphic field, while it is absent in the group consciousness,
and which makes the morphic field a
spiritual criminal.
Morphic fields are at first difficult
to discover, because they don't have a location like another person
or an entity. But with some practice it soon becomes obvious what is
Self and what is Other. Morphic fields are very markedly
"Other", but often they have overpowered a "Self", who is then no
longer able to distinguish himself from the field and acts as its
puppet rather than a self-determined being. The end product of
emancipating from morphic fields is a person who is the independent
sole source of his feelings and thoughts, and the
sovereign owner of his body.
|
This little chick's father
is controlled by a morphic field. On his own he would be
quite rational and friendly, but he is overpowered by his
less rational and less friendly culture who is acting
through him. Ideally the two flows of influence
would be balanced - the culture would educate him to some
degree, and he would in turn shape his culture to some
degree. But for that to work, the morphic field would first
have to un-learn enforcement, the ultimate
sin against
Spirit - denying us the infinity of choices we have
inherited from our Divine Parent.
CULTURAL
LESSON: TO TEACH OUR
MORPHIC FIELDS HOW NOT
TO ENFORCE! |
|
Supreme Being
Supreme Being - the ultimate
original viewpoint that has the "big
picture" - All-That-Is, the Divine Parent, or God. There is nothing that is not permeated by the Supreme
Being, as he does not have an outside - he contains all of existence
inside himself. So he is neither "Self" nor "Other", or rather he is
both at the same time. |
Types of Items in Processing
Here are the most relevant energetic items that are
produced by spiritual beings, both Self and
Other. When they
collide or are not well aligned, they produce friction and tension -
indicators of situations that need work.
A different type of problem is wrong
ownership. When a person believes that their body's cravings for
heroin are his own, or when an entity tells him to jump out of the
window and he believes this is his own thought and acts on it, or
when a culture's morphic field motivates its members to suppress and kill
others, the trouble is big and obvious. Other situations of
so-called "misownership" can be more hidden and subtle.
|
Thought
Thought - an idea produced by a
Self, supposed
to be located in the mental body. Our thoughts can also be colored
or even implanted by a morphic field or an
entity - then we think a
thought, but are not the source of it. In Life Lesson Processing it
is essential to sort out the real owner of any relevant thought. The
spiritual being will then be fully the source of himself and is no
longer a mix of different sources. |
Feeling
Feeling - an energy vibration like joy, fear or
aggression produced by a Self, supposed to be located in the
emotional or astral body. Our feelings can also be colored or even
implanted by a morphic field or an
entity - then we experience a
feeling, but are not the source of it. In Life Lesson Processing we
will trace down the real source of any relevant feeling. The
spiritual being will then be fully himself and is no
longer a mix of different sources. |
|
Image
Image - a picture consisting of
mental matter, either a "photo" of reality or crafted by
imagination. Often used for telepathic communication, but
also the main building block of the memory. Images can be
projected at us by other people, or fed into our stream of
awareness by entities. In Life Lesson Processing we
will sort out where any relevant images come from. The
spiritual being will then be fully the source of himself and
is no longer a mix of different sources. |
Flow
Flow - a stream of energy
going out from a Self. A flow can be stopped either by the owner or
by another person. This way, it can get stuck and will be unpleasant
to have around. It also can be bent, turned around, reduced or
modulated in other ways by a morphic field influence (usually coming
through another person). In Life Lesson Processing it will be located and
allowed to fully flow out (complete its cycle). Also its source or
combination of sources will be determined. |
|
Impulse
Impulse - an urge to move or act, supposed to
be located in the etheric body. An impulse can lead to physical
action, but can also be non-physical, like the urge to push another
person away, or pull them closer. Impulses are preceded by
thoughts
and/or feelings. They are not colored or implanted by
morphic fields
or entities, but our thoughts or feelings that cause the impulse can
be - so indirectly an impulse can also be caused by another source
than ourselves. Impulses can be copied from another Self - imitated
- in this case they have their root in another source, but are still
self-determined.
|
Divine Connection
Our connection with the Divine is the most
delicate and most precious connection we have. This is where we are
rooted in our Divine Parent - nothing is as fatal as losing the
awareness of our divinity and the line to our ultimate bigger self.
Even Jesus, who has only two commandments,
mentions it first: "You shall love the Lord your God with all your
heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the
first and great commandment. And the second is like it: ‘You shall
love your neighbor as yourself’" (Matthew 22:37).
This is the very source of our life force. We
would not exist if not through that delicate line from the
whole to
the part - we would shrivel and dry up like a Christmas tree after
it has been cut off from its root.
Life Lesson Processing does not tamper with
your connection to the Divine, as it is the most sacred of all spots
and really untouchable for anyone outside yourself. We will do
everything in our power though to clean it from any lies and abuse
that have piled up on top of it, coming from parents, churches or
any other part of your culture that denies your divine nature.
|
|
Mass
Mass - a residue of solidified mental energy,
resulting from a collision of impulses. Typically there are two
sides to a mass, and both must be viewed for the mass to dissolve.
Example: a fight between brothers where nobody wins. Each brother
will walk away with a mental mass from that fight. But also any
attempt to fight a situation will leave us with a mass. And last but
not least there are "minus masses" which result from pulling rather
than pushing impulses - an extremely sharp pain.
It has happened time and again that when a
person dissolved a mass in a session, the other person involved in
creating that mass had a "magic" relief, and often a reconciliation
happened if they were opponents. Life Lesson Processing
practitioners have the tools to deal with these things.
