Post No. 3,048 - An excellent, thought provoking discussion on multidimensionality (and the state of the world today)

The YouTube video I have linked to below is one I would often just add to my weekly reflections post, but it is important enough - particularly in the context of the current state of the world - that I consider it needs to be highlight, and I will make a few observations.

The video is:

“Multidimensionality - Midday With Rev Don”   https://www.youtube.com/live/3qS8u8C1McQ   “Today Rev Don will discuss the idea of multidimensionality and Parallel Lives!”     

As always, the foundations of this are sound, and I consider Rev Don one of the better teachers around in the world today. 

I found it interesting that the speaker’s reference to teachings and the 70s/80s ties in with significant lessons for me in my life - and much of what Rev Don is talking about I learned about - and, to a minor extent, worked with - in the 80s. 

However, the group I was in then was deeply flawed - bigotted, and abusive, and the existence of that dichotomy (metaphysical knowledge and anti-spiritual behaviour) was a major lesson in itself. 

Looking back at that now, I suspect many people I know would talk about the problems I faced as an undiagnosed neurodivergent person, but that gives the people who are choosing to not adapt to the circumstances and characteristics an unjustifiable “out” - something they can use as an excuse to indulge in spiritual bypassing, and blame others for their own FBU, PFD, FoC, cowardice, Newtonian worldview, systems justifications, toxic loyalty, and other character flaws. 

In my case, that group’s transphobia was the final straw, but their mischaracterisation of what is often described as “the uncanny  valley” as my complacency was an early indicator of their character flaws - despite having lots of metaphysical knowledge and strength. 

On the video, a few points I wish to make are:

• the cook book analogy is VERY good. That analogy is to the effect that once you understand the principles, you don't need a cookbook - and if you are looking for a super duper cookbook, you don’t understand cooking ... which was an analogy for the quest many people have for what they wrongly think are “advanced metaphysical teachings” (“learn suuuper powerful magic words/spells / read this grimoire and you’ll be able to do Y”/sarcasm).  I take a similar approach to living, and try to distil all my life lessons into a set of principles (such as implementing DEI throughout one’s life, etc).
  Partly as a result of that, I suspect, I am now far less interested in parallel universe jumping; 

• on parallel lives, my experience is that it is possible to influence other soul parts of oneself - both for better or for worse.
  That means if part of you is going through hard times, you can give them strength, skills, experience and knowledge (a little like the movie “Everything Everywhere All at Once”) ... or you can choose to allow their despondency drag you down. You could be hyper critical of them, or patient, understanding, and genuinely supportive.
  Jung wrote about the collective  unconscious; that effect also applies, but much more strongly, within the parts of a soul.
  I also used meditation to become aware of my parallels and what they were doing, and - as an example - knowing another part of my soul was living life as a musician resulted in me being more accepting of the fact that my musical skills in this life will always be inconsequential;
  

• the story of a time traveller at psychic fairs in the 70s (or maybe it was 80s, or 70s and 80s) was chilling - especially in terms of current world events, but I consider their work has paid off because of the resistance to fascism that we are seeing in so many places.
  On that, I have become aware that the notion of having a great leader (whether good [e.g., Arthur] or bad [e.g., H_t l_r]) is nowhere near as effective (especially in the long term) as enabling people to be good enough to do good themselves automatically - e.g., educated in critical thinking enough to see through propaganda techniques, emotionally competent enough to be unswayed by that propaganda, and philosophically principled enough to actually reject and work against such propaganda.
  Also, a note of caution for every politician: in general, “go high” and be inclusive - or you are destroying what you claim to be working for; and
  

• I agree that trivial things (the example given was a change of shirt) are not enough to create an alternative reality.
  In many cases, what people may be perceiving (perhaps especially through nightmares) is them taking part in plays on the astral that test ways of acting or reacting or help to drive home a point of morality (and yes, I am aware of the irony of going back in to the astral to engage in deliberate play acting when the physical world and our lives here are viewed by some as a form of large scale play for our learning benefit ... but that doesn’t change the truth of it happening).
  

PS - the subsequent video is also worth viewing: 

“Multidimensionality and Incarnation - Midday With Rev Don”   https://www.youtube.com/live/hw1U2r1pu6Y   “Today Rev Don will discuss the nature of the Soul, Incarnation, and Multidimensionality!”      

as is the third in what effectively became an unplanned series:

As a final point, some of my recent posts might be of some use or relevance on this - as would quite a bit of my other writing, but that’s too much to link to:

Possible flaws 

Where I can, I will try to highlight possible flaws / issues you should consider: 

• there may be flawed logical arguments in the above: to find out more about such flaws and thinking generally, I recommend Brendan  Myers’ free online course “Clear and Present Thinking”;  
• I could be wrong - so keep your thinking caps on, and make up your own minds for yourself.

Remember: we generally need to be more human being rather than human doing, to mind our Mӕgan, and to acknowledge that all misgendering is an act of active transphobia/transmisia that puts trans+ lives at risk & accept that all insistence on the use of “trans” as a descriptor comes with commensurate use of “cis” as a descriptor to prevent “othering” (just as binary gendered [men’s and women’s] sporting teams are either both given the gender descriptor, or neither).
