One of the many changes due for everyone in humanity is for everyone to become mediumistic. This can show itself as being clairvoyant, amongst other ways of experiencing the world around us in an energetic way rather than just through the physical senses.
Great, you (might) say. Actually, it’s a double-edged sword. You might see lots of beautiful astral and mental phenomena, be able to analyse the well-being of someone’s body, and your own body, and the lovely energy cordings between you and people you like. But then you may never want to ride the Subway, or Metro or Tube when you see what’s down there, or visit department stalls when you see what astral entities are hanging from the lights looking for their next meal (ever feel tired visiting those shops/stores?).
Energy has always been around us. Being mediumistic just means noticing it and changing how we interact and deal with our world.
Being able to energetically check out politicians, organisations and people on the television can be great fun and useful. It’s great to be able to see what really needs to be cleaned around the home, or thrown out. Check out the heart centre of that person who is trying to win you over; are they really trustworthy?
Here goes then:
Read this first then close your eyes and try it.
The first part is clearing your energy. White Light pours down from high with a silence and a stillness, washing over and all around you. The White Light is bright and pure, and refreshing.
The White Light pours inside your head like refreshingly cold spring water, washing through your head and down your neck. Let it wash through your body, and your arms, and your legs. Let the White Light wash through each organ, each muscle, each blood vessel and nerve. Let it wash through each bone.
Now in front of your head there is a sphere of purple light that is a compilation of light made for the third eye centre. The purple light simply moves towards and into the third eye centre. As it goes in, it creates a change, like an upgrade. You might be able to notice it. Stay with it for a few moments. You might notice the purple light flow to other parts of the body, making adjustments.
Stay with this for a while.
The purple light will then fade, as it’s work is done.
White Light again washes through, balancing and adjusting.
When you are ready, open your eyes.
There is a meditation earlier on the blog for buttoning up the centres which is a useful technique to master. I will put on a meditation to close the door on the third eye centre, as sometimes it’s nice to give it a rest.
The last three meditations were based around three colours, gold, white and blue.
The gold colour is the light of the first Divine Journey, which is falling like golden snowflakes down through the planes in physical creation. Its effects are many. Powerful healing is one effect, but it is healing from a higher perspective rather than a lower perspective. So it’s healing that brings about the most appropriate and extensive development. Another effect is stimulating massive change by stimulating karma. This burns up a lot of negative and old dark energy. It also brings in and stimulates new positive development on a personal level, right through to a global level and beyond. To summarize, old energy and karma gets used up, and is replaced by something more wonderful. The gold is a form of bliss, and has in it some wonderful guidance to bring about change for a more loving life and world (though it will still have its challenges).
More on change vs being comfortable in a later post.
The second energy in terms of power and intensity of love and light is the white light. This is a filtered version of the light of the second Divine Journey, just a sprinkling. This light is a form of bliss, and again brings about healing and change from a spiritual perspective. There is a lot more to this energy, and this can be explored by doing the white light meditation.
The third energy is the blue light. In the meditation offered, this relates to a diluted version of the blue of the third Divine Journey, and is a form of grace. Very powerful. Again, there is so much more to this light than can be written about here. Though once again, using the blue light meditation will give direct experience.
Over the next three thousand years these three energies are all going to come down through all the planes of creation, right down to the very bottom. The result? Massive and total change in the world and creation, so that humanity will be very different. All that old negative dark and karma from the distant past needs to be burnt up and transmuted, and a lighter and more love filled world created, peopled with people who feel and think and act differently to how they do now. Which means all old centres overhauled and new additional ones, and a general reworking of the aura and so on to be able to live in a more intense and refined energy.
Enjoy the meditations (more to follow).
Life is going to be anything but boring and predictable in the future. It could be a grand spiritual adventure.
(This article has been updated to include a recording of the meditation at the end. Enjoy.)
Here’s an analogy: If you want to decorate a room white there are many types of white to choose from.
In meditation there are different types of white light. For example, the white light found on the first plane is different in intensity and brightness and refinement to the white light found on the higher planes, which are increasingly brighter and more refined. Again, astral white light is different to the brighter mental white light.
The types of white light found on the Divine Journeys is even brighter and more refined. The white light of the second Divine Journey is white, and amongst other qualities it is a form of bliss. The Paramatman light can also be considered as being white, and that has all kinds of effects.
The format for this meditation is similar to the previous two meditations.
Sit upright to align the centres or chakras. Relax your breathing.
Imagine a stream of brilliant, pure white light flows down onto the top of your head. It permeates through your head. Notice how that feels.
Let this stream of pure love and light flow down your neck. You might be able to notice how this brilliant white light affects your throat centre.
This white light flows down through your shoulders and arms to your fingers, stimulating the small centres and giving them an energetic make-over.
This white light flows down your body, igniting the major and minor centres, including the heart centre, solar plexus and sexual centre, and then the base centre. Notice the effect.
This brilliant white light of light and love flows down through your hips and legs to your toes, through all the minor centres there.
Your skin glows bright white for several moments.
Once the light is absorbed by your body, white light fades.
In your own time, open your eyes.
This is a powerful meditation to do every day and it doesn’t take long to receive a wash of healing white light, which gives a little push to your spirituality.
(This article has been updated and a recording of the Gold Light Meditation placed at the end. Enjoy.)
This can be quite a powerful meditation. As with anything, you don’t know until you try.
Read this first before meditating.
Sitting up straight to make sure all your centres are aligned, get comfortable and close your eyes. Imagine a gentle shower of very fine gold dust, like fairy dust falling on top of your head.
This fine gold dust irradiates its gold light into the centres or chakras in your head, which radiate out gold light. You might be able to notice within it a silence and a stillness.
The gold light moves gently and thoroughly down through your neck and down through your body, lighting up each centre it moves through. The gold light then radiates into your body around each centre.
The gold light moves down your legs towards your feet, all the while igniting your smaller centres with gold light. The gold light travels down your arms to your fingers, again igniting your smaller centres with gold light.
After filling all of your body, strands of gold light come out of your body and weave a layer around your skin.
This stays for a while, and then is slowly absorbed into your body.
When the gold light is absorbed completely, open your eyes.
There are some remarkable spiritual energies and light available for use in meditation. At a point in development they can help to enhance spirituality. Meditating with this gold light is healing for the centres and the body, as is meditating with the blue light in the previously blogged meditation.
Sitting upright so all the centres or chakras are aligned and so light can easily flow, imagine a single drop of brilliant liquid blue light drops in silence from on high.
It lands on your head and flows rapidly into the centre in the top part of your head. The blue light feels silent and still. It lights up this cents, as if it switches it on.
The blue light then flows down to the next centre, shines a beautiful brilliant blue, and switches on this centre, which continues to shine blue.
The blue light flows down to the next centre, so it shines a silent blue, again, it’s like a light switch, so the centre keeps on shining bright blue.
The drop of liquid blue light flows down through each centre in turn, switching it on to shine a brilliant and silent blue. When it reaches your heart centre, notice what happens.
Let yourself stay with this for as long as the blue light remains, or up to 10 minutes.
This is something that is straightforward and which can be done everyday. This particular blue light can have a powerful healing effect on the centres, and is great for developing a person’s spirituality.
I’m not going to say anything else about it so as not to set up preconceived notions, but instead for it to be an exploration for anyone who wants to try something new.
Being clairvoyant or psychic is something special. Or is it?
It is actually something that everyone can do.
There are a number of components to being clairvoyant, or psychic. Clairvoyant means clear seeing. Psychic can mean seeing, hearing, feeling and interpreting mostly astral energy and some mental energy about a person or situation.
The energy or data someone can pick up depends on the plane they are on. The higher the plane, the more of an overview they can get.
The third eye centre or chakra is the centre that picks up the energy or data and processes them as visual images.
This cuts out a lot of the available data though, and in fact it’s possible to use a larger amount of data by getting an input from other centres or chakras, and sending it on to the third eye centre. This means the data can be picked up as feelings, sensations and more specialized forms of energy. Sounds complicated, though it is actually quite easy, and something people do all the time, usually without realizing it. It’s just that they are often not sensitive to all the data coming in through their senses and their centres. It’s just practice.
The data is processed and interpreted. This is the part that turns it into information. The person using their abilities can then see images. They might be able to feel, hear, taste or smell things. The quality of the information depends on a number of factors.
The first point is that we usually only see or perceive what we know what to look for. Which means we lock onto the type of information we know about and are familiar with. Occasionally, the information is so obvious and surprising that we notice something new.
Secondly, we interpret it through our own beliefs and prejudices. Normal human behaviour, really.
Thirdly, if the person has a leaning to the Light Lodge or the Dark Lodge, they put a certain slant on their interpretation.
Another point to bear in mind is that some people have a guide on the inner planes. Sometimes a guide senses something and then passes on the information. The quality of the information depends on the plane the guide is on, whether they are a light or dark guide, their experience of doing the job of being a guide, and how effective the person in physical matter is at receiving the information.
How can someone become skilled at being clairvoyant or psychic?
Meditation is a good answer. The best type of meditation is meditating on the heart centre. This powers up the heart centre, and all the good energy and healing gets passed onto all the other centres in a balanced way. The heart centre is good at that, plus it avoids distorting centres and energies within the body (a physical analogy would be how a person might go to a gym and only focus on one group of muscles to the detriment of their overall physique). Meditation with light will also clear the centres (yoga breathing techniques also help).
As for the third eye centre, well that is opening in all of humanity in any case. They might be aware of this subconsciously, though some people should be becoming consciously aware of this, then life gets interesting.
Being clairvoyant or psychic is just a matter of imagining that you can, and practice.
Footnote: If you want to be able to turn off the ability, which is a good thing sometimes to give your mind a rest or if what you see is a bit scary as the astral levels are open including the lower grotty parts, you can practise the following, before trying to be clairvoyant or psychic. See the third eye as having a door on the front. Practise opening, and particularly closing and locking it.
Sensitivity is also an issue sometimes. Have a read of the previous blog. A meditation on how to button up and close doorways might be appropriate, so I’ll put one on soon.
Extra footnote: Mediumistic is perhaps a better word to use rather than clairvoyant or psychic as it incorporates so many other skills. More on this later.

Crucially, meditation needs to include an element of grounding.
Often when people meditate they connect with the light from higher planes or the Divine Journeys (for instance, one type is the Paramatman Light). There can be a yearning for the higher light as it is so wonderful compared to the relative darkness and discomfort of normal life.
In meditation we can bring the higher into the lower. But that draw upwards can cause problems.
To start with, some spiritually minded people aren’t in their bodies even from birth. They never fully connect with everyday life and can be dreamy and in a world of their own. Some people don’t really come back into their bodies after meditating, then the effect is the same.
There are some tried and tested techniques for grounding, such as stubbing your toe on a chair leg or other inconveniently placed piece of furniture. Going over your ankle is a favourite for some. In extreme cases, breaking a leg happens and so on. (Just so you know, these are all real life examples).
There are plenty of non-meditative techniques for grounding which are part of everyday life. For instance, gardening is a superb way as there is a strong connection with the earth, and the rhythm of the seasonal flow of energy. Walking in Nature is great, so too is scrambling on rocks, and for the brave, rock climbing. Going underground into caves is really grounding (I tried that last year). Some people in the world live near natural mud baths. What a place to get grounded in. I’ve known some people to dig a shallow hole in their garden and place their feet on the soil. Diet can play a huge part. Root vegetables, and for those that can eat meat, that can really help. Using the body for exercise is an excellent way to get grounded. An activity such as judo is a great way to get grounded. Simply taking a break from spiritual practices and meditation for a day or so can also be appropriate.
There are some useful meditation techniques for grounding. Using your imagination and creatively visualizing affects your energy. Just prior to meditating, trying closing your eyes and imagine roots growing out of your feet and out of the base of your spine. These roots can be any colour, though they may be dark coloured to correspond with the slow frequency energy of the earth. If you are in a building then imagine your roots going through the building to the ground. Imagine the roots going as far down into the earth as possible. Let the roots spread out as they go down. Let dark slow frequency light flow from the earth up your roots. The slowest earth energy is black, so this is a good colour to use, and has a soothing, nourishing and healing effect. Let it flow up your legs into your body and head, into your organs. You can let this black light flow back down your legs, and into the ground. Repeat this a few times. Then, still with roots down, you are ready to meditate with higher frequency light.
With regards to grounding, I met two people who had meditated intensely over a period of weeks in a Perfect Master’s ashram, and in Meher Baba’s centre. They were both burnt to a crisp by the high intensity light, with their auras blown wide open, their nervous systems frazzled and over-sensitized, and they were both completely ungrounded. They could not operate in normal life.
The solution was no spiritual activity for a year, physically grounding exercise and a stodgy diet, to support grounding and the necessary slow healing.
There is something inside people that provides the inspiration or the urge to meditate. It is very deep; an intrinsic part of being human, of actually being alive.
Meditation is connecting, or trying to connect with Home.
Here’s why.
When a person meditates they attempt to experience peace and silence, and achieve this to some degree. This peace and silence is good for the spirit, and for the mind and body. It nourishes, clears, strengthens and relaxes all parts of the person.
Souls initially exist outside of creation, up on one of the Divine Journeys. Usually one of the lower ones. That is their original Home. They are usually asleep and unconscious, all the while experiencing the deep Silence, the peace, the light, and the deep divine love that are part of the Divine Journeys. This is experiencing God, or aspects of God, moment after moment. This is Home.
Souls are then washed down into creation as they follow in the wake of the Avatar as they periodically come down into creation. After many lifetimes experiencing many different lifeforms, the souls experience human lives.
As a human, there is something deep inside that remembers where we are from and what our true nature is. There is an urge to re-experience those qualities of Home, to experience the silence, stillness and the love.
Meditation is a natural way of experiencing down here in creation in a diluted way that which as souls we would experience Home on the Divine Journeys.
Silence can be deep. Once, I attended a meeting of Meher Baba followers. Songs were sung, prayers that had been written by Meher Baba were said. Then we all stood silently. The Silence that began was like the doors of infinite Silence being opened. It was vast, deep and infinitely dynamic and active, filled with peace and love. It was like no other silence I had ever experienced. After a couple of minutes the Silence faded and the normal reality returned.
The view of most people who think about chakras or centres is that there are seven main ones. If you look at old diagrams on the Internet you will usually view a person seated in a lotus position with seven coloured or patterned circles representing their chakras.
Was this always the case? Will it always be this way? Is the number of chakras that people have changing?
Chakras or centres help us interact with the energies of the world and Universe around us, and spiritual energies that come in that can continually change us. For example, the heart centre is the one the soul forms first, and it can receive and send out love, as well as receive and host some divinely inspired energies. The third eye (which is opening for everyone so we can all be clairvoyant – which is a bit of a mixed blessing as we get to see the unpleasant stuff as well as the lovely) helps us to interact with information from our universe. The base centre, which is so essential for literally rooting us into the earth, and providing the solid grounding needed for spiritual life. The sexual centre is about creativity and mostly procreation, and ownership (why there is possessivenous as in having a possession when someone has a sexual partner). The throat centre is about expression and communication. The crown centre at the top of the head in the seven chakra system is about spirituality and having spiritual energy and information. The solar plexus is concerned with emotions and is linked to thinking. It is also the body’s brain (while the personality mind is in the head). It is involved in sending out emotional energy and receiving it. The lower three centres, the base, the sexual centre and the solar plexus, are the ones most easily targetted with negative energy as they are the oldest. There are other centres.
Centres are important to focus on in meditation, as keeping them functioning and in a pristine state are essential to spiritual development and so how we express ourselves in life.
In people, the centres are large or small depending on how active they are, and are bright or dark depending on what the people think or get up to. People who use tinder or grindr for example, can develop quite black sexual centres which shows the energy that is building up in their sexual centre. This is linked to a build up of timelines in the sexual centre and the colour of the centre reflects the type of karma that is being built up that will need to be balanced in future lives.
I should put up a meditation to check out the colour of a person’s heart centre which gives a good reflection on their character. You can then check out people you come across, and it’s educational to take a look at the people on the TV. Once I found myself in a conference of people involved in the arms trade (long story, that). There were more than a few black hearts and some bats wings which indicated dark lodge status. They were an interesting mob.
A lot of the new children coming in have very bright centres, as they land on this earth to bring about some required changes.
The number of centres we require changes as time in Creation goes on. This is due to the process that creation is going through, and because the frequency and the types of energy we need to assimilate change. Right now there are a lot more centres than just 7.
There have been five root races of humanity going back into the dim and distant past. The first one was the Adamic root race, which was essentially etheric (plus astral) rather than physical, with a base centre and a sexual centre. Next came the Hypoborean, which would have had an additional solar plexus centre. Then came the Lemurian root race, then the Atlantean root race. Not sure how many centres they had but I think the Lemurian could be telepathic, so that means they would have the heart centre, the throat centre, and the third eye at least. Possibly not the crown centre at the top of the head, because the Atlanteans showed they weren’t very good at spiritual direction, in that they got it wrong and ended up being wiped out in what is biblically called the Great Flood. (There are also sub-root races that incarnate usually to get specific things to happen in various parts of the world.) After the Atlanteans the root race which then came in was the Aryan root race, named after a group of people that developed in northern India. This root race had the full seven major chakras that can been seen depicted in old pictures of chakras. Meditation techniques developed in Buddhism and the spiritual practices in India were well suited to this kind of chakra system.
This fifth root race, the Aryan root race is coming to an end. There is an energetic push to bring this to completion. This means fragmentation in societies, both global and national, upheaval, uncertainty as things break up and timelines suddenly seem to dissipate and end, emotional upheaval.
What is coming in is the sixth root race, and new timelines are starting with new energy. Sixth root race people have at least one hundred chakras or centres, possibly a lot more, whether they are aware of them or not. This means they can take in and receive as well as give out a bigger range of energy than the Aryan root race humans. They can process energy and emotions and thought in new ways, and handle more spiritual energies.
The sixth root race is the next step in humanity. To put it into perspective though, there will be, in the distant future, a seventh root race, and further into the future, an eight root race, and so on, Each root race will be able to handle more spiritual energy than the root race before and will have even more chakras or centres, and they will most likely call them something different by then, and may not even have to have a physical, sound based language, but might be telepathic. Humanity will evolve energetically, and in how their body looks.
How do chakras or centres appear or come about? The change makers in the world, and in creation are the five Perfect Masters, and these beings are responsible for making changes, following the plans of the Avatar who incarnates every 400 to 700 years in major and minor incarnations.
Doing the meditations presented on the blog, the gold, white and blue light ones for example, will open up your new centres. Have fun, meditate and transform.
Doing a lot of meditation and being exposed to too much high frequency light can cause problems.
It can strip the body of minerals and nutrition, which causes other problems.
It can cause sensitivity to the energies that are around about us in life, such as the atmosphere in places, or the feeling and the vibe of others. This over stimulation is unpleasant and inhibits involvement with life.
Too much light causes people to become ungrounded, and also out of their body. It’s not self loving, and it doesn’t serve others.
Sensible meditation practice is the way; balanced, with a grounding lifestyle and a good diet with grounding food. That’s a helpful spiritual path. Being spiritual means being balanced (well, when we aren’t learning from falling over).
In this world, it’s the imperfect that needs loving, not the perfect.
(Or since ours, everyone else’s and all lifeforms souls have come from the Divine, and even though in creation they have a level of unconsciousness, they are still Divine. So we can love the God in everyone and everything.)
If you draw several timelines covering five thousand years or so, one each for each region of the world, and then map onto them when religions started up, when they were popular, and when they declined, some details become noticeable.
First off, religions start off very small. Initially, there would be a strong spiritual basis, sparked by one person, who provides the Divine love, the energy and any teachings. Matters are kept very simple.
When that person dies or drops their body, that is when others set themselves up above others as the holders of the true message or faith. This when ceremonies are created, ceremonial dress is given importance, and those who set themselves up as priests and priestesses produce their own additions and interpretations to any initial message. They “lead” the followers and often give out rules for living. They become the middlemen that followers have to go through, and the followers no longer have to think for themselves. A religion has been created.
People like ceremonies and routine as it helps them feel safe and comfortable. They are easy to do, and a participant doesn’t have to think to hard. Plus there is a sense of involvement and of being part of something and belonging.
So a group goes from being a small group of people who will have had to change their lives to be part of something new, something that seems radical to the old way, and which will probably be seen as a challenge to that old way. The group members will be made to break habits, to think, to love more, and face challenges.
In fairness, while a religion is active, it is living off the energy provided by the initial progenitor, who is usually an Avatar or Perfect Master, and the energy they provide can last for thousands of years. This means that a person with a spiritual disposition can still make spiritual headway even amidst the ceremonies and trappings, and any dark twists that get added by negative individuals.
The point at the beginning of a religion is spirituality, of increasing the connection with the Divine and soaking up that Divine energy to create growth spiritually in that lifetime and future lifetimes.
I’ve blogged before about dropsouls, about how these are Divine, on the Divine Journeys, and yet unconscious. These come down into the very bottom of creation, develop and move up the planes of consciousness, to become God Realized, and this time, conscious of their Divinity.
These dropsouls are us, and all our younger brothers and sisters in creation. It is Divine energy that gives us a push up (and right thoughts, feelings, decisions and actions).
The last Avatar said he had come to awaken, not teach. That means an opening of the heart, amongst other things, and a direct connection. It makes life a fresh, vital experience, rather than following old, historic rules. Essentially it’s about learning about God by living the life in front of you, rather than looking back in time for rules to feel safe in.
A person doesn’t need middlemen, just the direct connection with the Divine. That and willingness, putting out a request to the Divine, then receiving the input and energy.
This is the Kali Yuga age. It is a great time for spiritual development.
There are four ages that creation cycles through again and again. These are the Gold Age, The Silver Age, the Bronze Age, and the Iron Age. The last one is a time of darkness and slow energy, a time of spiritual rest, when creation is the furthest from God’s light. We are in this Iron or Kali Yuga Age.
With more dark acting as ballast, you can meditate and absorb more light. (There’s actually a lot of light coming down the planes of consciousness right now from the first Divine Journey, so this is a doubly good time to meditate.)
Trying to talk about souls can be tricky, and fascinating at the same time. Souls originate on the Divine Journeys, in the Beyond, which is outside time. This is not a straightforward concept as it is so unlike our everyday reality.
When the Avatar comes down into creation every 400 to 700 years in major and minor incarnations, souls, or dropsouls follow the Avatar down through the Divine Journeys into creation (or are poached, which is another story). In creation, with its planes of consciousness (0th, 1st … 6th), there is time, and karma. As time goes by, creation is ever changing and developing, and souls grow as they journey in creation.
Souls fall over time, to the bottom of the zeroth plane, the slowest and least conscious plane. As souls fall, they experience a massive separation from the Divine, from God, and from their own true nature, and the Divine level of their consciousness. This is a shock that remains with the soul, even though their consciousness falls from this exalted state to zero; to a very slow, non-existent state. There remains a deep sadness and grief, that is difficult to put a finger on.
Simultaneously, there is an aspect of the soul, outside time, that has experienced and completed everything on the inner planes and on the Divine Journeys. This is a tricky concept and it isn’t really necessary to understand it as it wouldn’t influence the journey of the soul in any case.
The You reading this, in creation, is the extension of soul energy, that is in time. The aspect of your soul on the Divine Journeys, will not be necessarily aware of what is going on with the personality you in creation, as the light is so captivating there. What this aspect of soul Up there is missing out on though is experience of life in creation, and the slow frequency light down here, particularly the dark of the zeroth plane, and also, emotion. Souls come down here to experience emotion.
Souls and divine beings that stay in the Divine Journeys have no idea of what the grand adventure we call life is like down here in creation.
They miss out on the journey down, and they miss out on the journey up the planes and the experiences they gain in this Illusion. Souls with an aspect of themselves down here get to experience the many lifetimes as rock and metal with the heating, flowing, crushing, and erosion, and so on, while having only infinitesimal consciousness.
Then there are the many lifetimes in plant form in the many different environments. They grow, use physical light, put down roots (or live of other plants and sometimes creatures), they can be eaten. Open to the sky they experience weather and starlight. Those in the water experience those environments. They experience long or short lives, fire, drought and so on. With flowers and blossoms they irradiate scents, colour and energy. (From an energy point of view, plants have a fascinating existence.) The consciousness level is a somewhat greater than a rock or metal.
Still on the zeroth plane of consciousness, the soul has many lifetimes in animal form; as with worms, insects, fish, birds, reptiles, and mammals. With each change of lifeform there is an incremental change in the level of consciousness. The form that a soul takes depends on the level of consciousness that needs to be experienced. A soul going through the many animal forms, and experiences a huge variety of conditions, and events that happen to them. They experience instincts and intelligence. They experience emotions (a scientist may disagree, but anyone who has spent time with animals or has a pet will know when an animal is happy or sad or scared, and so on). Animals experience being on their own and in other lives, living as part of a society or group. They eat, sometimes hunt, sometimes get eaten (alive!). Animals communicate.
Then come the sub-human lives that are a cross-over point to being human on the zeroth plane. In all this, the soul grows in consciousness, and stores the accumulation of experiences in part of itself.
As a human, lifetime after lifetime up until the top of the third plane of consciousness, the soul builds, karma, and then balances it or burns it off from then on up to the top of the sixth plane. As a human the soul gets to experience the full range of what it can mean to be a human being, from the darkest events to the most loving and light. The soul experiences life in a detached way, as it is still very much in the Divine Journeys, while the person down here will experience life through personality, spirit, and the accumulation of all those vast numbers of lifetimes that occurred from rock, plant, animal upwards. So people can be incredibly animalistic in their thinking and behaviour as their animal past comes to the forefront. This is particularly so in a human lifetime that has a leaning to the Dark Lodge and the negative dark, rather than a lifetime leaning to the light or Light Lodge. Part of spirituality is diminishing or transforming the old heritage that is rather like very old baggage.
Meditation and doses of light really help here. However, to really appreciate what the light is like, and what Divine energies are like, being in the muck an the mud, and the pain and struggle that happens in creation, provides the contrast. Sometimes to know what something is like you need to experience the opposite. It also provides the crucible through which a soul gains the experience and learning, in the end, transforms into its full beauty, and with quite a story to tell back on the Divine Journeys.
Sometimes for whatever reason life can feel difficult and a person can feel really out of sorts. This can be obvious with some people, though some might be good at hiding it. A clairvoyant quick look at their aura and centres will show there are issues. There can be open doorways, intrusive energy, a storm going on, or there are emotions and thoughts due to something that has happened. (Clairvoyance can develop through meditation as the third eye centre gets cleaned up and worked over time so you get better at seeing this.)
Much or all of this fragmentary energy can be cleared and calmed before meditation, and improved by meditation. There are different ways to clear the energy in your aura and chakras and people have their favourite ways such as burning sage, salt baths etc. It can also be done through a meditation such as this one https://spiritualgrowthadventure.com/2015/12/15/cleaning-up-your-energy-2/ .
All of life is a spiritual path that we grow through by being on it, and by learning from the rough and the smooth. So even though this can be experienced without doing any meditation, meditation can really help to get through the difficult parts, and help to make the most of the fun stuff.
Imagination is a key to meditation. If you can imagine something on the inner planes, you can experience it on the inner planes. Your imagination is a key to open the door to all kinds of useful energies.

Meditation can mean lots of things depending on what resonates with you.
You can meditate to experience calm inside you, or to calm yourself with feedback. Or you can meditate to watch your mind, or to discard thoughts, and stay present and not have your attention wander (or wonder). You can be mindful. Or go for an empty mind.
Minds are tricky, and with each lifetime you get a different mind, well, a collection of minds; the unconscious, the personality mind (which is based very much on personal preferences, your culture and language, and experience, and how your feelings are wired up, so it’s quite personal). Then there is a body mind, and a higher mind. Which mind to focus on then?
Or after lifetimes you give up on those minds and start meditating on other things, and there are plenty of other things for a human to meditate on. It very much depends on what you think it means to be human. So, what does it mean to be human?
You can think of yourself as a human, and that all that is spiritual about yourself is your mind (or one of your minds, if you see what I mean). But there is much more to people than that.
Now when you incarnated, and came into the fused egg and sperm (the zygote is the biological term), or when your soul touched that physical material with its energy, will and intent, the first part of you to start up was your heart centre or chakra. The heart centre is very much a point of connection for the soul.
The heart centre as it happens, is a very good place to meditate on. What happens there, spreads out into the other centres. These developed after the heart centre.
The heart centre isn’t like the mind, in that it’s like the origin, rather than an effect, which the mind is like. So the heart centre is truly a great place to meditate on.
It is also possible to meditate on the full set of centres or chakras as a whole, as a system, including the centres of the head.
What else does it mean to be human? It boils down to sensitivity and openness, which can lead on to personal experience from which you can learn consciously, and also subconsciously. Having another person tell you about something is no substitute for personal experience. Even an advanced spiritual master would get you to test out what you hear from them (and then later, when you figure out the quality of them you may find it is really a good idea to accept their word as it really moves you along spiritually).
Humans have a physical body, an etheric body surrounding this (when people have amputations they often still feel the limb is still there – it is etherically), an astral body, and a mental body surrounding the whole lot. There is a sheath of energy around the these and the centres called the aura. when all these parts are locked into the physically body, a person will feel solid and grounded. If they are not locked, they will feel, and sometimes look spacey and ungrounded. There’s a fair bit to meditate on here.
Then in all of this, there is a physical elemental that drives to keep the physical shell alive. There is a personality which matches a persons karmic package for that lifetime and which can help spiritually as a motivator and anchor, or not. There is a person’s spirit which is a fairly complex mix, the minds as mentioned, and the soul. The soul is very much not as smart or amazing as people think it is. Though that is another story as it develops its level of consciousness over many lives, and an old soul will have more consciousness than a young soul. Once again, there is quite a lot to meditate on.
Then a person’s soul, and therefore the person, exist on one of the planes of consciousness, from the lowest, zeroth, to the sixth plane. Depending on the plane, there is physical light, and also astral light of varying frequency, and mental light of varying frequency and speed. “The light” can most definitely be something to meditate on, but it depends on what light.
When people take drugs what they experience is the astral light on the zeroth and first plane at the most. Definitely not where it’s at spiritually.
Meditation can be used to access light from the fifth and sixth plane, which can certainly be something. On these planes there are some wonderful energy which can be in the form of light, which can have very positive effects on you.
Beyond, the fifth and sixth plane energies and light, there are energies and light of a Divine nature, such as the Paramatman light, or first, second and third Divine Journey energies and light. These are amazing to meditate with.
To work with these requires a connection with, say, a Perfect Master or an agent that they can work through, or some other person with access to these energies. There needs to be a connection so they can oversee what is going on and ensure that not too much light is given, or the one on the receiving end is toast! It can take several years to come down to earth from an overload of light, or it can overload the heart and the physical body can’t handle it. So common sense means that a person meditating with this light needs to be careful.
This Divine light has an intelligence, a spirit, so when it goes into the various levels of your being, it can interact with you in ways that are required and allowed at that time. It really is quite amazing, and the Silence and Stillness that comes with Divine light is something else, and can take you into other levels of what it means to be human.
There’s lots more that I haven’t mentioned here, which I’ll leave to later.
