There are ways of “knowing” things beyond what you may have been lead to believe and beyond what you have learned how to use. But it all requires you to Pay Attention.
Stated differently, there are ways to perceive things beyond what the traditional five human body senses (eyes, ears, touch, taste, and smell) provide to you. The five human body senses have their purpose and their limits, and you already know how to pay attention to them and how to process the sensory input they give to you as you navigate and know your world. You have been doing that since you got your body, and you already know the value that they provide to you!
You learn and come to know your world by exploring it and perceiving it with your senses. But when you limit yourself to just the traditional five body senses, you limit what you can know.
- But you CAN experience things and know things beyond what the five body senses allow. You have more than five senses to use – so let’s talk about them!
- Not all of your senses rely on the physical body to generate sensory input in the same way.
- Our current cultures and systems of education have not shown you that you have other senses available, taught you how to use them, or helped you to understand the value that they provide to you.
I want to help you solve for that.
I started this posting by telling you to “pay attention.” (Meant firmly, but nicely.)
- First, I say pay attention because these next postings are going to be rather heady/deep. It is likely to be new material that you will need to take in, consider, and explore. And that just ain’t gonna happen unless you are paying attention to this content (with the assumption that I can write it clearly enough so that it makes sense!)
- Second, I say pay attention because in order to learn about other senses, you have to use them similarly to your body senses – you have to PAY ATTENTION to them. (You will have to begin paying more sustained attention to your internal and external environments.) And I’m going explain how to do this, how it relates to mediumship, and the insights that mediumship senses can provide.
The intent of this posting is to set the stage for the theme of Other Ways of Knowing. There will be two postings that follow that discuss what I call “Consciousness Shifting” – an activity that takes you beyond the physical senses and opens you up to additional sensory input (no beating of drums, no drugs, no gimmick involved – just an activity based upon meditative approaches). This series of postings is rather heady and detailed. But I really want to tackle it because I feel that so little material is out there and available to you (or it has entirely eluded me anyway) in ways do not require activities that I find kooky, overly burdensome, and most often just plain completely unnecessary in order achieve the result. And I feel that the information in these postings is so central to how mediumship works (at least for me), and how you can take that insight and apply it to your own skill development and your own life.
I have been sitting on the pieces/parts of what I want to convey, and I have been taking assistance from those that guide me with the insights necessary to do these topics justice. (Fingers crossed that I can sit back and allow this all to come through in a way that benefits others!) That said, this posting is from me, Eric, but is by no means only my own words or workmanship. There will be words/phrases and concepts that do not come from me but, rather, have been channeled to me in order to help me understand what is happening during what we call mediumship so that I can share it to you.
It is in these following postings that I want to explain, from my experiences, how I shift my consciousness/awareness/attention (how I shift back and forth from outward to inward to back outward) to different “places.” And it is in these “places” where many of my communications and experiences occur. To me, this series of postings is trying to explain to you how mediumship works – to answer “What is going on?” “How do they (mediums) do that?” “What skills are they using that others of us are not?” It is really a difficult thing to explain and write, so forgive my wordiness or any redundant statements that you may find along the way.
Here is a high level overview of the next two postings:
- 111: Other Ways of Knowing – Part 2, Places/zones. The intent of this posting is to introduce you to the topic of Consciousness Shifting and to describe the “places” or “zones” that I generally perceive and what is going on in each. I over-simplify this, but would describe these as “destinations.”
- 112: Other Ways of Knowing – Part 3, Transitions between. The intent of this posting is to discuss the transitions back and forth from one place/zone to the next (as I perceive). I over-simplify this, but would describe this as the “travel activity in/out of the destinations.”
Historical Note (and a bit of passionate rant)
“Other ways of knowing” is ancient. I do not claim to have coined the concepts, terms, or any of it. These ways of knowing have been going on for eons, and I believe them to just be part of who we are as souls – skills for use even when we are incarnate.
But in this incarnate dimension, the knowledge and skills regarding “other ways of knowing” have been under siege for centuries. People and entire cultures have been eradicated without an understanding of what they actually knew and could accomplish that their oppressors were too barbaric to fathom!
- When those in positions of physical power do not have the knowledge and skills (and have not done the work to understand it), they do not grasp it’s wealth and application – and what could be done with it in combination with physical power. Instead it becomes feared because it cannot be controlled through their physical power.
- What has happened then, is that those in positions of physical power have worked to eradicate it rather than understand it and make use of it. Those in positions of physical power have worked very hard to eradicate the people and cultures that held the knowledge and skills of “other ways of knowing.” This has left a world that now has very little of the knowledge left – it is held tightly in specific cultures and people. Our cultures and systems of education have a void of truth.
There is a void, but it is not entirely gone – we are still out here – because we continue to be born into bodies and these are innate senses that come with who we are. Additionally, those in other dimensions-of-residence are at the ready to assist if we can perceive. People, culture, lifestyles (even of the western world) are ready to have these avenues opened to them. Beyond Perspective is just one avenue, one location, one approach, and one source that is being placed out there for people to find so that there is support to the journey.
