Razor’s Edge



The ocean’s vast expanse in the brilliance of early morning sun

The horizon cut with a razor into deep blue sky and steel blue ocean

Every blade of beach grass and each driftwood log etched into the sand

Each wave-curl sharp as crystal

There is no looking – only presence of the depth in all shapes cut of light

Do you ever feel you are Light being penetrated by Light these days?

Any ever so slight shadow on the screen of life is felt as pain

I am a razor walking on my own edge in this crispness and clarity

Acceptance is the ultimatum

Once answered “Yes!” the new paradigm is instantaneous and spontaneous

Take off your shoes and socks all protection and step onto the razor’s edge

Like the tightropewalker your were born to be
No Fear Only Love Unconditional

Our True Destiny!

Krishnamurti: What is Love?


image source: unknown

What is love? The word is so loaded and corrupted that I hardly like to use it. Everybody talks of love—every magazine and newspaper and every missionary talks everlastingly of love.
. . .

So to go into the question of what love is we must first free it from the encrustation of centuries, put away all ideals and ideologies of what it should or should not be. To divide anything into what should be and what is is the most deceptive way of dealing with life.

Now how am I going to find out what this flame is which we call love—not how to express it to another but what it means in itself? I will first reject what the church, what society, what my parents and friends, what every person and every book, has said about it because I want to find out for myself what it is.

Here is an enormous problem that involves the whole of mankind. There have been a thousand ways of defining it and I myself am caught in some pattern or another according to what I like or enjoy at the moment—so shouldn’t I, in order to understand it, free myself from my own inclinations and prejudices?  I am confused, torn by my own desires, so I say to myself, “First clear up your own confusion. Perhaps you may be able to discover what love is through what it is not.”
. . .

The government says go and kill for the love of your country. Is that love? Religion says give up sex for the love of God. Is that love? Is love desire? Don’t say no. For most of us it is desire with pleasure, the pleasure that is derived through the senses, through sexual attachment and fulfillment.

I am not against sex, but see what is involved in it. What sex gives you momentarily is the total abandonment of yourself, then you are back again with your turmoil, so you want a repetition over and over again of that state in which there is no worry, no problem, no self.

You say you love your wife. In that love is involved sexual pleasure, the pleasure of having someone in the house to look after your children, to cook. You depend on her; she has given you her body, her emotions, her encouragement, a certain feeling of security and well-being. Then she turns away from you; she gets bored or goes off with someone else, and your whole emotional balance is destroyed, and this disturbance, which you don’t like, is called jealousy. There is pain in it, anxiety, hate and violence.  

So what you are really saying is, “As long as you belong to me I love you but the moment you don’t I begin to hate you. As long as I can rely on you to satisfy my demands, sexual and otherwise, I love you, but the moment you cease to supply what I want I don’t like you.”So there is antagonism between you, there is separation, and when you feel separate from another there is no love. 

But if you live with your wife without thought creating all these contradictory states, these endless quarrels in yourself, then perhaps—perhaps—you will know what love is. Then you are completely free and so is she, whereas is you depend on her for all your pleasure you are a slave to her. So when one loves there must be freedom, not only from the other but from oneself.

This belonging to another, being psychologically nourished by another, depending on another—in all this there must always be anxiety, fear, jealousy, guilt; and so long as there is fear there is no love; a mind ridden with sorrow will never know what love is; sentimentality and emotionalism have nothing whatsoever to do with love. And so love is not to do with pleasure and desire.

Love is not the product of thought, which is the past. Thought cannot possibly cultivate love. Love is not hedged about and caught in jealousy, for jealousy is of the past. Love is always active, present. It is not “I will love” or "I have loved.” If you know love you will not follow anybody. Love does not obey. When you love there is neither respect not disrespect.

Do you know what it really means to love somebody, to love without hate, without jealousy, without anger, without wanting to interfere with what he is doing or thinking, without condemning, without comparing—don’t you know what it means? Where there is love is there comparison? When you love someone with all your heart, with all your mind, with all your body, with your entire being, is there comparison? When you totally abandon yourself to that love there is not the other.

Behind the Words


Seeing

I am writing words and behind the words is what I wish to say.

This life we are living as awareness alive as itself.

Can I release my words, concepts, my hold on reality?

There is a seeing happening, I call it consciousness.

It is a flow, a swirling, a curling, a joining and separating ~

All within this movement and seeing is what it is.

The wall, the man, the jar, the cat, the rock, the clock

All seeing is what it is.

As it sees it becomes and yet it moves not.

Such a power in this Organ of Perception! 
It sees and in that is creating.

Now it sees thinking, dreaming, wishing, wanting, learning 
and So It Is.

Make it so, Number One, 
and the One is you, is me, is we.

We are the Seeing “I”, the Self is the Seeing Eye.

We are That.

Let’s start enjoying our Self!

Our time is come and it is NOW without end.

I greet each of You as my Self 
and Love is our language behind the words.

Hear Listen Roar





Sequence created by memory
I project it onto the world;
Then from sequence I conjecture causality
And project it onto the world.

What does the world look like
without sequence and causality?

Krishnamurti: Not Crippled By Memory



"Of course, memory has a place at a certain level. In everyday life we could not function at all without it. In its own field it must be efficient, but there is a state of mind where it has very little place. A mind which is not crippled by memory has real freedom."

(Freedom from the Known, in Total Freedom: The Essential Krishnamurti, p. 116)

Han Shan Poem - I Have Thrust Aside Everything




I live alone by folded cliffs
where churning mists even at midday do not part.

Though it is dark here in the room,
my mind is clear and free of clamor.

In dreams I roam past golden portals;
my spirit returns across the stone bridge.

I have thrust aside everything that vexes me –
Clatter! Clatter! Goes the dipper in the tree.*


*someone feeling sorry for the hermit Hsu Yu because he had to drink water from his hands, gave him a gourd dipper. But after using it once, Hsu Yu hung it in a tree and went off, leaving it to clatter in the wind
Cold Mountain, 100 poems by the T’ang poet Han Shan, translated by Burton Watson, no. 42, p. 60

 more on Han Shan click here


My Comment:
I am strongly attracted to the Han Shan poems that transport me to a place of simplicity and oneness with myself and nature.  In this one, additionally, the words “I have thrust aside everything that vexes me – ” resonates with the “cat and the newlyweds” story that I included in my last post on my WordPress blog:
which stands for the determination and also the necessary clarity to put away any thoughts, feelings, or emotions that tend to distract me from that place of simplicity and oneness with myself and nature. In the last few days, since reading these lines, this I have thrust aside everything that vexes me has become sort of a mantra reminding me and triggering me to stay centered in non-duality and in the uniqueness of this moment, of my life.

The Uniqueness of My Life and the Power of Non-Duality




The two come together: the uniqueness of my life and the power of non-duality.

The uniqueness of my life is the present moment. Leaving all residue of a previous movement of my life’s energy in the form of memory and conditioning, I find myself afresh in this NOW.

In a dark room I light a match and swirl my outstretched arm in front of me describing a large circle with the flame of the match. The fact is the burning wood of the match. It is at one single point of the circle at any given time. However, the eye sees a complete circle of fire. One could say that the circle is an illusion, created by the eye holding on to the impression of the path of the flame through space in the dark room.

The comment on my blog was written, sent and read by me days ago, however it is still alive in my perception because I am remembering it. When I let go of that memory, or clearly see it as a past movement of my energy, it is gone and my perception is free of it.

Afresh in the NOW my eyes take in with a sense of newness, never before seen, a unique view, a unique seeing. The seeing energy is pristine, free of the past and it feels its own movement of seeing with total clarity.

Non-duality is the power of absolute disintegration of all beliefs, concepts, ideas and all frames of reference. I get a taste of it every now and then and it is magnificent. Tuning in to and aligning with the vibration of non-duality anchors my existence in non-existence. Thus a field of vastness and emptiness is created, within which the energy of seeing comes into relation to the seen as an extension of itself. There is no interference by anything that is not itself.

The seeing light of consciousness takes in all that appears in its light. This light stems from the Inner Effulgence, which can also be called the Inner Sun. It is immobile and groundless. It exists out of Itself and is beyond all states and attributes. When all Its reflections and refractions are reduced to their essential substance, It is our true nature and It is no-thing.

The power of non-duality is the power of this one fact that reduces all forms (which make up what we call the “world”) to naught, from which they stem. When I attune myself more and more clearly to this felt sense of non-duality, all attachments, illusions and fondly cherished concepts of all kinds begin to dissolve under my feet. I am left in the formless, or rather, in that which IS before form, which is present while form is maintained and also after its dissolution. While my mind says that it gives up trying to follow, another part of me knows what I mean.

This felt sense of non-duality is the ground upon which I experience the uniqueness of my life, for out of nothing something appears for the first time, afresh out of the void, and it is untainted by anything that may have appeared “previously”. The overlay, or superimposition of old impressions, judgments, concepts and frames of reference onto what appears fresh is a function of my memory and the conditioned movements of my mind as it holds on to the “known” – the past.

Attuning myself to the power of non-duality coming together with the uniqueness of my life entails a vigilance towards the conditioned movement of my mind in order to ensure a radical departure from the old paradigm and create the space needed for the new paradigm to flower.

A relevant story: A newlywed came to his friend after the wedding night. “Can you imagine what happened? A cat snuck into the room and was yowling all night, so how could romance happen?” His friend said he would do him a favor, so he switched places with him that night.
The next morning the two meet and the groom asks how it went. “Wonderful! You are such a lucky man! Such a loving and affectionate wife you have!” “And the cat?” asked the groom. “Oh, that – off with his head!” replied the friend.

Please, dear cat friends, of which I am a great one – no harm was done to any living creature, and the story makes sense if you substitute the word “conditioned thinking” for “cat”, and the word “mastery of your life” for “wife”.

Arizona Beach Pledge




10/10/12


I herewith choose to enter into a vibratory alignment with the Aethos.

The Aethos is a bandwidth of consciousness anchored in pure non-duality.

I now broadcast a benevolent thoughtform of “Interconnectedness” to all of humanity.

This is a free offering of this thoughtform and a recognition and acknowledgement that this interconnectedness exists.

This interconnectedness exists alongside the unique differences of all individuals.

I imagine that my KA or “etheric double” rises above me, and floats to a position sixty miles above the planet, where I join hands with others all across the Earth who have joined in the meditation.

This joining of hands is a symbolic representation of the thought form we are calling “interconnectedness.”

Joining me in this sea of interconnectedness are the Devic kingdoms, the spirits of the Earth, the elementals, and the myriad life forms upon the Earth, as well as Gaia herself. 

I am joining with intergalactic intelligences as well as with cosmic bodies, including the Sun and the Central Sun—the black hole that forms the center of our galaxy.

The Anatomy of Silence – Krishnamurti

Krishnamurti



Krishnamurti: Isn't it important for you to find out for yourself whether you are asking for the more, or whether you are trying to see exactly what is? The two are incompatible. If you can put aside the more, then we are concerned only with what is when the mind is silent.

What actually takes place when the mind is really quiet? That is the real question, isn't it – not what is transcendental or what lies beyond?

Questioner: What lies beyond is my question.

K: What lies beyond can be found only if the mind is still. There may be something or there may be nothing at all.

So the only thing that is important is for the mind to be still. Again, if you are concerned with what lies beyond, then you are not looking at what the state of actual stillness is. If stillness to you is only a door to that which lies beyond, then you are not concerned with that door, whereas what is important is the very door itself, the stillness itself.

Therefore you cannot ask what lies beyond. The only thing that is important is for the mind to be still. Then what takes place? That is all we are concerned with, not with what lies beyond.

Q: You are right. The silence has no importance to me except as a doorway.

K: How do you know it is a doorway and not the thing itself? The means is the end, they are not two separate things. Silence is the only fact, not what you discover through it. Let us remain with the fact and see what that fact is.

It is of great importance, perhaps of the greatest importance, that this silence be silence in itself and not something induced as a means to an end, not something induced through drugs, discipline, or the repetition of words.

Q: The silence comes of its own, without a motive and without a cause.

K: But you are using it as a means.

Q: No, I have known silence and I see that nothing happens.

K: That is the whole point. There is no other fact but silence which has not been invited, induced, sought after, but which is the natural outcome of observation and of understanding oneself and the world about one.

In this there has been no motive which has brought silence. If there is any shadow or suspicion of a motive, then that silence is directed and deliberate, so it is not silence at all.

If you can honestly say that that silence is free, then what actually takes place in that silence is our only concern. What is the quality and the texture of that silence? Is it superficial, passing, measurable  Are you aware of it after it is over, or during the silence? If you are aware that you have been silent, then it is only a memory, and therefore dead.

If you are aware of the silence while it is happening, then is it silence? If there is no observer – that is, no bundle of memories – then is it silence? Is it something intermittent that comes and goes according to your body chemistry? Does it come when you are alone, or with people, or when you are trying to meditate?

What we are trying to find out is the nature of this silence. Is it rich of poor? I don’t mean rich with experience, or poor because uneducated. Is it full or shallow? Is it innocent or put together?

A mind can look at a fact and not see the beauty, the depth, the quality of that fact. Is it possible to observe silence without the observer? When there is silence, there is silence and nothing else. Then in that silence what takes place? Is this what you are asking?

Q: Yes.

K: Is there an observation of silence by silence in silence?

Q: That’s a new question.

K: It is not a new question if you have been following. The whole brain, the mind, the feelings, the body, everything is quiet. Can this quietness, stillness, look at itself, not as an observer who is still?

Can the totality of this silence watch its own totality? 

The silence becomes aware of itself – in this there is no division between an observer and an observed. That is the main point. The silence does not use itself to discover something beyond itself. There is only that silence. Now see what happens.

I Could Get Used to This…

Gaia

I had one of those exceptional dreams last night – the kind that when you “wake up” you realize that the dream was a real as where you are now.

And hearing the view recently that the dream quality of experience is how emotions manifest into a dimension of their own (some call it the 4th dimension) – I let my senses linger with this particular dream vision/experience a few times during this day so as to let the quality solidify itself more deeply into the cells of my psycho-somatic organism.

Also, I was aware upon “waking” that the quality of this dream experience had begun to root itself into my being as a new quality of perception. I refer now to a passage in the Hathor’s “Aethos” message that sheds light on my experience, as I have been connecting more and more with the realm of the Aethos through their sound meditation in the last two days:

“It is important to realize that non-dual states of consciousness are relative to the perceiver. Thus, if you experience non-duality through your heart chakra, you may very well experience impersonal love—a deep sense of cosmic connection.

Indeed, in this state of union between non-duality and the heart, you become infatuated, and for all intents and purposes, you fall in love with the cosmos. And in that paradox of the heart, you become the Beloved, and everything you see and witness is the Beloved as well.

While this is a beautiful state of consciousness, it is not pure non-duality. As you move upward into the higher chakras experiences of non-duality change. When you reside in the crown chakra, non-duality is experienced in its pure form—pure consciousness aware of itself. There is no sense of a personal self in these higher dimensions of non-duality.

The paradox of creation is that it unfolds from the purest states of non-duality into the most polarized states of existence. Thus, in your consciousness are the two seemingly conflicting states of relative existence (i.e., your embodied life in time and space) and non-dual states of consciousness in which all polarities and conflicts disappear.

Our perspective, as mentioned earlier, is that non-dual states of consciousness are cantilevers to greater mastery of creation and not the end point or the goal of evolution.”


Enough said. Now to the dream vision.


The Dream

Across from me sat two extraordinarily beautiful women with long blond hair. They were both smiling ecstatically to each other and just in general. One of them was kissing the other one repeatedly on the side of her head on her long fine hair and then up towards her forehead along the side of her face. In the dream the thought flashed “Are they lesbian?” but immediately it was clear that this was a show of affection and love that was much grander than their physical gender.

It was clear that one of the women was going to introduce me to the other one, whom I had not met yet. They both turned towards me and flooded me with their light like a dense shower of gold/white energy. Then the one I had not met before came closer and I drew her close with my hands on her waist, (however our upper bodies did not touch) and she brought her head close to the side of mine and we embraced such for some while (eternity) letting our light mingle and merge and surge together. She then spoke in a low voice in my ear: “I could get used to this!”

Then the words entered my consciousness, referring to all three of us: “We are angels.”

The Message for Me

My sense of the underlying emotional reality of this experience is that this is the time and place for each of us to express that sense of “infatuation with the cosmos” and recall that effusive love for all experiences and the undying optimism that we all have felt at some point ~ maybe as a small child or in some particular situation. 

We are called upon to discard whatever might taint that expression - much as we discard the refuse we have swept up and don’t examine it again before we dump it into the Big Bin. This is to be in the pristine innocence that is our birthright and that grounds our alignment with the one Great Mystery that moves as the beating heart, the breath, the words and actions of each of us. 

The words “We are angels” is for me the expression that each of us, right here where we are on the ground of Gaia, our Mother Earth, is indeed a benevolent being of light as we have been told the angels are. We need only re-member our true nature and allow its active expression in our life day to day and moment to moment.

Focus on Aethos

Dear Friends,
I am re-posting these two segments of "The Aethos and Non-dual States of Consciousness" message in order to bring Tom's comments on the Aethos in front of the information by the Hathors themselves on the Aethos. I resonate strongly with this information while having listened to the Aethos Sound Meditation several times in the last couple of days. Perhaps one of you will enjoy reading these descriptions of the Aethos.

Tom Kenyon's comments:

The Aethos

My first encounter with the Aethos occurred about a year ago in preparation for a Hathor Intensive called Transmissions of Light. A few months before the event I was in one of my periodic existential funks when one of my mentors escorted me through the realms to the 10th dimension where he instructed me to just “sit” with the Aethos.

I was immediately calmed and soon entered what I recognized to be a type of Samadhi (yogic trance) in which I began to sink deeper and deeper into a non-dual state of consciousness. The agitation that had so clearly commandeered my mind for several hours suddenly dissipated in a matter of several minutes. And this, no small feat, had transpired just by me “sitting” in the presence of the Aethos.

As the Hathors mention in this message, the idea of non-duality shows up in various Perennial Philosophies, some of which can be traced back to the Upanishads and the Bhagavad Gita of ancient India, the non-dual teachings of various mystics and sages as well as the essential teachings of Buddhism, to name but a few.

The Aethos I “sat” with was, as I said earlier, a 10th dimensional Hathor, and whenever I sense this being clairvoyantly, I clearly see “it” as a ball of light comprised of thirteen counter-rotating spheres embedded within each other. My sense is that the ratios established by these counter-rotating spheres combine to create a non-dual energetic, which is what affected me so strongly.

I referred to this being as “it” because it has no sign of gender. Whereas the Hathors I have encountered in the 4th through the 9th dimensions have both a light body and a gendered anthropomorphic form, the Hathors I have encountered in the 10th, 11th and 12th dimensions present themselves solely as geometric light forms.


The Hathor's Message (excerpt):

The Aethos

We now wish to share with you a means to access one of our greatest cultural treasures, what we call the Aethos (pronounced, AH-EE-THOS). The Aethos is a bandwidth of consciousness anchored in pure non-duality.

When a Hathor enters into the 10th Dimension there are many opportunities and ways of manifesting. Some of us choose to temporarily join a community of vibration. This community consists of individual Hathors in the 10th, 11th and 12th Dimensions. These individuals enter into non-duality by their own volition and choose to remain, for a period of time, in this vibration of consciousness for the benefit of other beings.

Most individuals remain temporarily in the Aethos, while a few show no signs of leaving. When a being enters into the Aethos all personal distinctions are set aside. A being that is in the Aethos has no name. All personal identity has been replaced by total immersion into non-duality. These beings “hold” this vibration of non-duality for the benefit of others because non-duality is the Mother of All Things and the underlying fabric of all existence.

To be in the presence of an Aethos is to be raised upward into non-duality.
Your experience of being with an Aethos will differ from another’s experience, based upon your own level of evolution and the issues in duality that you are facing.

But regardless of how complex or difficult your personal issues may be, being in the presence of an Aethos will elevate you, and that is why we are sharing this information at this time.

For some of you who are highly advanced, simply hearing the name Aethos, and understanding its non-dual nature, will be enough for you to move into communion with non-duality through this means.

Many people, however, would find such a path, or method, intrinsically difficult. And so we are offering a sound treasure to assist you. This Sound Meditation is an analog of the light realms where the Aethos resides.

The Aethos emits vibrations of light and these vibrations can be stepped down into the audible range of human hearing. Thus, what you will be hearing, when you listen to The Aethos Sound Meditation, is a translation of light into sound. It is the harmonic essence of the Aethos as it manifests in the 10th Dimension.

Please refer to the post "The Aethos and Non-dual States of Consciousness" for more information and the links to the mp3 files of the Aethos Sound Meditation:

The Aethos and Non-dual States of Consciousness




A Hathor Planetary Message through Tom Kenyon

In this message we wish to discuss some of the significant relationships between manifest reality and non-dual states of consciousness.

Mind and Consciousness

Before we proceed, however, we would like to draw a distinction between the terms consciousness and mind as we use the words.

For us consciousness is transcendent to all phenomena and is not bound by neurological activity in your nervous system. Furthermore, consciousness is transcendent to both time and space, as you perceive them. And it is through the vehicle of your consciousness that you can travel through energetic vortices that lead outside the constraints of embodied existence.

Mind, as we use the term, refers to the sensory, mental and emotional experiences you have as a result of distinct changes in your nervous system. Indeed, as you read these words, you are creating their meaning through the agency of your physical brain and nervous system.  You are creating the meaning of our words through the window of your mind, but this window is both created and constrained by the limitations of your nervous system.

Our messages are linguistically coded, and at various locations in the syntax (order) of our communications there are vortices—wormholes—through which you can temporarily transcend your mind and enter into the infinite mystery of consciousness.

How We View Higher Dimensions

In our experience of ourselves, we exist within multiple dimensions of consciousness, and depending upon our level of personal evolution we manifest in the fourth through the twelfth dimensions. Through the ninth dimension we can alternate between our anthropomorphic form, which is humanlike in appearance, or our light body.

As we shift into the 10th dimension all connections to our anthropomorphic form dissolve. We become, for all intents and purposes, geometric light forms. As we progress in our own personal evolution we can express ourselves through the 10th, 11th and 12th dimensions in a multitude of ways.

Each progression upward in consciousness brings with it a greater understanding of the interconnectedness of all beings and all aspects of the cosmos. The odd paradox of existence becomes clearly apparent as we enter into the 10th Dimension.

Interconnectedness and Non-duality

We are sharing this information because something similar occurs for you as you transit into the higher dimensions of your own being. In the 10th through the 12th Dimensions, awareness of interconnectedness expands, as does an awareness of non-duality—the Mother of All Things. This is, indeed, the paradox of consciousness we mentioned earlier, and it is one that has been addressed by some of your Perennial Philosophies.

For us, the attainment of non-duality is not the final destination but rather a cantilever to greater mastery and an understanding of how to create benevolent outcomes.

How We View Non-duality

In a non-dual state of consciousness we, like you, experience a disappearance of opposition. In non-dual states of consciousness, duality—as it is experienced in relative existence—disappears, and we enter into a great sense of centered awareness and serenity.

In the deepest states of non-duality there is only pure consciousness experiencing itself.

It is important to realize that non-dual states of consciousness are relative to the perceiver. Thus, if you experience non-duality through your heart chakra, you may very well experience impersonal love—a deep sense of cosmic connection.

Indeed, in this state of union between non-duality and the heart, you become infatuated, and for all intents and purposes, you fall in love with the cosmos. And in that paradox of the heart, you become the Beloved, and everything you see and witness is the Beloved as well.

While this is a beautiful state of consciousness, it is not pure non-duality. As you move upward into the higher chakras experiences of non-duality change. When you reside in the crown chakra, non-duality is experienced in its pure form—pure consciousness aware of itself. There is no sense of a personal self in these higher dimensions of non-duality.

The paradox of creation is that it unfolds from the purest states of non-duality into the most polarized states of existence. Thus, in your consciousness are the two seemingly conflicting states of relative existence (i.e., your embodied life in time and space) and non-dual states of consciousness in which all polarities and conflicts disappear.

Our perspective, as mentioned earlier, is that non-dual states of consciousness are cantilevers to greater mastery of creation and not the end point or the goal of evolution.

Interconnectedness vs. Oneness

It is here we feel it necessary to discuss an important distinction between interconnectedness and the concept of “oneness.” We do not view these two terms interchangeably. There are many different definitions of “oneness” upon the Earth, and so it is not possible to address all the subtleties and distinctions.
We will instead turn our attention to what we consider to be the fundamental distinction. Some persons believe that interconnectedness is the same as “oneness” and that as you enter higher states of consciousness and higher dimensions of being, you merge into a blob of light, in which all distinctions disappear. This is not our view.

Interconnection or interconnectedness is the recognition that all beings and all aspects of the cosmos are interrelated and at the same time beings have unique differences. These differences are fascinating and unique. Sometimes they are annoying, and sometimes they are enriching. But these differences are part of the tapestry of manifest reality, and they are not superfluous.

One of the difficulties we see with the concept of “oneness,” as currently propagated by some persons in the New Age and Personal Growth communities, is that the unique differences between people are denigrated and somehow because everything is “one,” appropriate energetic boundaries between individuals can be, and often are, disregarded. Furthermore, some individuals use this belief system (i.e., “oneness”) as an excuse to avoid personal accountability and responsibility. In our experience of ourselves through all dimensions we remain unique individuals, and the higher dimensions of our being do not obliterate our uniqueness but rather present greater opportunities for creation.

The Aethos

We now wish to share with you a means to access one of our greatest cultural treasures, what we call the Aethos (pronounced, AH-EE-THOS). The Aethos is a bandwidth of consciousness anchored in pure non-duality.

When a Hathor enters into the 10th Dimension there are many opportunities and ways of manifesting. Some of us choose to temporarily join a community of vibration. This community consists of individual Hathors in the 10th, 11th and 12th Dimensions. These individuals enter into non-duality by their own volition and choose to remain, for a period of time, in this vibration of consciousness for the benefit of other beings.

Most individuals remain temporarily in the Aethos, while a few show no signs of leaving. When a being enters into the Aethos all personal distinctions are set aside. A being that is in the Aethos has no name. All personal identity has been replaced by total immersion into non-duality. These beings “hold” this vibration of non-duality for the benefit of others because non-duality is the Mother of All Things and the underlying fabric of all existence.

To be in the presence of an Aethos is to be raised upward into non-duality.
Your experience of being with an Aethos will differ from another’s experience, based upon your own level of evolution and the issues in duality that you are facing.

But regardless of how complex or difficult your personal issues may be, being in the presence of an Aethos will elevate you, and that is why we are sharing this information at this time.

For some of you who are highly advanced, simply hearing the name Aethos, and understanding its non-dual nature, will be enough for you to move into communion with non-duality through this means.

Many people, however, would find such a path, or method, intrinsically difficult. And so we are offering a sound treasure to assist you. This Sound Meditation is an analog of the light realms where the Aethos resides.

The Aethos emits vibrations of light and these vibrations can be stepped down into the audible range of human hearing. Thus, what you will be hearing, when you listen to The Aethos Sound Meditation, is a translation of light into sound. It is the harmonic essence of the Aethos as it manifests in the 10th Dimension.
We suggest you experiment with listening to this unique sound treasure in various ways. The first way would be to listen to it with your full attention on the sound. Allow the sound to be the primary focus of your attention, and when your mind wanders bring it back to the sound.

The second way to listen would be with your focus of attention on your heart chakra in the center of your chest.

Then listen to it with awareness in your throat chakra.

Next, listen to it with your focus of attention in your Third Eye (Ajna), located between your eyes at the bridge of your nose.

And then, finally, listen to The Aethos Sound Meditation with your attention in your crown chakra at the top of your head.

Feel and sense the differences that arise when you listen to The Aethos Sound Meditation from these various chakras. Most of you will find that it feels more natural to listen to The Aethos Sound Meditation with your focus of attention in one of your chakras. This chakra is the focus we suggest you use when listening, in preparation for the sound meditation that will occur during the upcoming World Meditation.

The Evolutionary Intelligence Test

From our perspective one of the signatures of an evolved consciousness is the recognition of interconnectedness. This recognition is an evolutionary intelligence test and your species is in the middle of it. Humanity cannot continue to live, collectively, as it has done—living in the delusion that humans can plunder the Earth with no consequence to the Earth, to its myriad life forms or to humanity itself.

The World Meditation

The goal of the World Meditation is to add a vibrational quality to the emotional atmosphere of your planet.

You have an inherent right to do so because you are embodied in time and space, and because you are living temporarily upon this Earth. As a resident of this planet, you have a right to encourage benevolent outcomes.

The specific purpose of this World Meditation is to accelerate the collective human recognition of interconnectedness and a passage from the miasmas and delusions of humanity’s collective history into a new constellation of cultural beliefs that will serve to unfold humanity’s higher destiny. This will be done through the agency of your imagination—the power of your will and intention—joined with the creative potentials that reside in non-dual states of consciousness.

The date and time of this World Meditation will be November 4th between 3:00 and 4:00 PM PST (Pacific Standard Time). While the meditation will be global, the nexus point of the energetic will be in Seattle, Washington during the final hour of a Hathor Intensive we are calling The Art of Seeding New Realities.
For the duration of this meditation, the Aethos will enter into the space that will be created by those attending the Intensive. And from this nexus point, the Aethos will extend its energetic throughout the world to all those who have chosen to join us in this undertaking (The World Meditation).

It does not matter where on Earth you are physically located. Furthermore, while the formal meditation in Seattle will begin at 3:00 PM and end at 4:00 PM, the energetic generated by the Aethos will continue for twenty-five hours. In other words, the Aethos will continue to emanate its energetic from the 10th dimension to those individuals who have chosen to participate in the World Meditation from November 4th 2012 at 3:00 PM PST to November 5th 2012 at 4:00 PM PST.

You can join the World Meditation anytime during this twenty-five hour period.
In point of fact, you can also enter into this specific meditation whenever you wish to “broadcast” the thought form of interconnectedness to humanity. As you collectively enter the more intensive phases of planetary transformation, those of you attuned to the reality of interconnectedness will “know” when it is propitious to send this thought form to your fellow humans through the agency of this particular meditation.

When undertaking this meditation, it is important to understand that you are not directly affecting the outcome of events, but rather you are “broadcasting” a benevolent thought form to the human collective. What individual humans choose to do, or not do, in relation to the realization of interconnectedness, however, is in the sovereign providence of each individual.

Furthermore, the Aethos does not and is, in fact, incapable of intervening into human consciousness. A human person must choose to enter into a vibratory alignment with the Aethos. In other words, the Aethos does not take actions. It simply emanates its nature, which is non-dual consciousness.

The Actual Meditation

During the meditation we suggest you begin by listening to The Aethos Sound Meditation for thirty minutes. During this phase, your focus of attention is in your heart chakra unless you intuitively sense that it would be better for you to place your attention in another chakra.

After listening to the Aethos Sound Meditation, simply be in silence with your awareness in your heart chakra (or another chakra you have chosen to work with). After a minute or so of focusing in your chosen chakra, imagine that some part of you (i.e. your KA or “etheric double”) rises above you wherever you are physically located on the Earth. Imagine and sense that this second you, which looks exactly like the physical you, floats to a position sixty miles above the planet, where you join hands with others all across the Earth who have joined in the meditation.

This joining of hands is a symbolic representation of the thought form we are calling “interconnectedness.” This is the recognition and the acknowledgement that all humanity is interconnected and that this interconnectedness exists simultaneously along side the unique differences of all individuals.

The one you may be joining hands with could very well live in a far distant area of the Earth from you. He or she may have a different view of reality. He or she may follow a different religion than you or follow no religion at all. The person you are holding hands with may be facing challenges very different than those you are facing, due to his or her location on the Earth and the culture he or she must conform to. And yet in spite of all these differences you are interconnected.

Joining you in this sea of interconnectedness will be the Devic kingdoms, the spirits of the Earth, the elementals, and the myriad life forms upon your Earth, as well as the Earth herself. For those of you who are aware of multiple dimensions you may very well experience a joining with intergalactic intelligences as well as with cosmic bodies, including the Sun and the Central Sun—the black hole that forms the center of your galaxy.

We realize that some of you reading this are so disheartened by the quality and the state of humanity you may find it difficult, if not impossible, to join hands with fellow humans. If you are one of these persons we suggest you join hands with the nature spirits, and you will, by this action, be adding to the potency of the transformation.

Preparation For The World Meditation

If you choose to join us in the World Meditation, we ask that you begin to work with The Aethos Sound Meditation on a regular basis. The purpose of this preparatory work is so that you become familiar with the states of consciousness produced in you by the Aethos.

If you are dealing with difficult issues in your life, we suggest you listen to The Aethos Sound Meditation at least once a day. This is to assist you to move into a different state of consciousness, and from this perspective your issues will decrease and/or your ability to deal with them will increase.

The net result of this is that you will be elevated, and we need as many elevated individuals as possible to join the World Meditation. Let us put this another way…if you are riddled with personal toxicity, work with The Aethos Sound Meditation every day, first for your own benefit and, secondly, for the world sangha (community).

You are, by the way, welcome to listen to The Aethos Sound Meditation and use it as a personal transformational tool even if you do not plan to join the World Meditation.

The Aethos Sound Meditation: Final Reflections

It is with pleasure and great expectation that we present to you The Aethos Sound Meditation. We trust that it will bring you a sense of serenity and a greater capacity to deal with the chaotic events of your world.

It is also our expectation that the Aethos will open a path to your own non-duality, and that, as a manifest creator-being, you will bring the two together—the uniqueness of your life and the power of non-duality.

May this union be a boon to you and to all your relations.

The Hathors
September 20, 2012




Tom’s Thoughts and Observations

I find this particular Hathor message to be one of their more densely packed bodies of information, and even after reading it multiple times I still find new levels of insight.

There are several areas discussed, but I will confine my comments to the Aethos and the Sound Meditation that will form the first part of the World Meditation on Nov. 4th.

The Aethos

My first encounter with the Aethos occurred about a year ago in preparation for a Hathor Intensive called Transmissions of Light. A few months before the event I was in one of my periodic existential funks when one of my mentors escorted me through the realms to the 10th dimension where he instructed me to just “sit” with the Aethos.

I was immediately calmed and soon entered what I recognized to be a type of Samadhi (yogic trance) in which I began to sink deeper and deeper into a non-dual state of consciousness. The agitation that had so clearly commandeered my mind for several hours suddenly dissipated in a matter of several minutes. And this, no small feat, had transpired just by me “sitting” in the presence of the Aethos.

As the Hathors mention in this message, the idea of non-duality shows up in various Perennial Philosophies, some of which can be traced back to the Upanishads and the Bhagavad Gita of ancient India, the non-dual teachings of various mystics and sages as well as the essential teachings of Buddhism, to name but a few.

The Aethos I “sat” with was, as I said earlier, a 10th dimensional Hathor, and whenever I sense this being clairvoyantly, I clearly see “it” as a ball of light comprised of thirteen counter-rotating spheres embedded within each other. My sense is that the ratios established by these counter-rotating spheres combine to create a non-dual energetic, which is what affected me so strongly.

I referred to this being as “it” because it has no sign of gender. Whereas the Hathors I have encountered in the 4th through the 9th dimensions have both a light body and a gendered anthropomorphic form, the Hathors I have encountered in the 10th, 11th and 12th dimensions present themselves solely as geometric light forms.

The Aethos Sound Meditation

When I recorded The Aethos Sound Meditation, it was this 10th dimensional Hathor who guided me. From an engineering standpoint, it was a fascinating experience. As I recorded each of the eight tracks that comprise the recording, this being would alter my voice in distinct ways and in distinct ratios to previously recorded sounds. After laying down the foundation tracks I simply layered and looped them, according to “its” guidance, in order to approximate the light fluctuations that comprised “its” being. There was no electronic manipulation of the sound—meaning that I did not alter the EQ in any way, nor was any reverb or other effect applied to my voice. The sounds you hear in The Aethos Sound Meditation are completely natural and devoid of any effect, as hard as it may be to comprehend after listening to it.

At the end of this message, you will find two links to two different versions of this sound meditation. The first is 5 minutes and 4 seconds long. It is a way for you to test the waters, so to speak, and I would suggest you start with this one. See what unfolds for you in the short five minutes it takes to listen.

Work with this five-minute audio file in the ways the Hathors suggested. First just listen to it with your full attention on the sounds.  Then listen to it with your focus of attention in your Heart Chakra (beneath your sternum and in the center of your chest). Then listen to it with your attention in your Throat Chakra. Next listen to it with your focus in your Third Eye (between your eyes at the bridge of your nose), and then, finally, listen to it with your attention in your Crown Chakra (at the top of your head). You might want to do these in separate listening sessions to avoid “energetic overload.”

The second version is for those who are choosing to join the World Meditation on November 4th and/or for those who wish to enter into the presence of the Aethos for longer periods of time. This second audio file is 30 minutes long, the length of time the Hathors will be spending with the Aethos prior to the symbolic holding of hands in the final stage of the World Meditation.

If you plan to join us in the World Meditation, I strongly urge you to begin listening to this extended version well in advance of November 4th. This is so you have experience with the various states of mind that the sound meditation produces in you.

Directions for The World Meditation

As the Hathors mentioned, the energetic of the Aethos will be extended to all those participating in the World Meditation for a period of twenty-five hours, beginning at 3:00 PM PST (Pacific Standard Time) on November 4th and ending at 4:00 PM PST on November 5th. This means you can enter into the meditation and join with the world sangha (community) anytime during that twenty-five hour period. For the precise time of the Meditation in Seattle for your time zone, you can consult various world time sites, including http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/

Begin the Meditation by listening to The Aethos Sound Meditation for 30 minutes. This is to raise your state of consciousness, and to prime the pump of creation, since the Hathors contend that non-dual states of consciousness are cantilevers to creative states.

Then you imagine that your KA (your etheric double), or some version of you, floats up to a position 60 miles above your location on the planet. You then imagine holding hands with others around the world. This joining of hands is an act of imagination signifying an acknowledgment of interconnectedness. As the Hathors explained, this type of interconnectedness does not negate our differences. It is inclusive of them. The act of holding hands above the Earth acknowledges that we are all interconnected, including other life forms and even energetic intelligences as well.

How long you remain in this imaginal state is up to you. I would suggest at least 5 – 10 minutes. When your mind wanders, and it most likely will, just bring your focus of attention back to the “you” that is floating 60 miles above the Earth.

After you complete the World Meditation, it would be an ideal time to engage The Sphere of All Possibilities to energize whatever personal outcomes you wish to manifest. If you have not read this Hathor Planetary Message, it would be good to do so before the World Meditation.

If this is like other Hathor World Meditations in the past, it could be an energetically charged experience. If you encounter a lot of intensity during the meditation, it would be good to rest afterward, even lying down if possible.
If you are so inclined, you can enter into the Meditation repeatedly and as many times as you wish during the twenty-five hour period. Your comfort zone would be the guide here.

Note: If you choose to work with the 30 minute Aethos Sound Meditation, please download it to your computer and refrain from listening to it from our server. If too many people listen to The Aethos Sound Meditation from our server, at any given time, the server may crash—keeping others from being able to hear or download it. Please do not depend on listening to this sound meditation on our website on the day of the meditation. The server will not be able to “serve” everyone. Download it before the day of the meditation.
Important Note: Do not listen to The Aethos Sound Meditation in situations requiring alertness such as driving a car or while operating machinery.
Do not plan to listen to this from our site on the day of the meditation. You must download it ahead of time and be ready.
