On the other hand, if you went to "hell," you would see that there is very little of the light of God there; and the inhabitants tenaciously still hold on to their warped earthbound ego-centered personalities. Actually all the negativity of the lower self is amplified in these realms. All the fearful, angry thoughts, self-centered traits, and controlling and manipulative ways are heightened. It is a very low energy, ugly place. Surprisingly those in these "hells" gain a certain pleasure in sustaining their infringing, restrictive world. Actually, they are so self-absorbed that they notice no one but themselves. It is a very lonely existence.
For instance, the miser remains in the corner of his room endlessly counting his money and zealously guarding it to make sure that no one can have any. Those from the higher realms visit regularly and project love and light to those in "hell." And occasionally one of those in the lower realms notices and gradually follows the Light to the next higher realm. And this continues until that individual has released his/her self-centered traits. The forces of Love and Light continually project their goodness and Love and gradually all will be drawn back into the Light.
A human being on earth is usually protected from these lowest of realms, but sometimes that protection breaks down either because of drug and alcohol abuse or extreme illness or emotional trauma. Also, some choose to dabble in these energies.
So, "we reap what we sow." Our life in the spirit word is not determined by Peter at the gates of judgment, but by our cumulative thoughts and actions while on earth. We are our own judge and jury. We determine our fate. We determine our experience. We determine our destiny.
Actually, we either live in "heaven" or in "hell" on earth, too, purely by the company we keep and the thoughts and emotions that are our most predominant. That is why it is so important to be conscious of the company we keep, be it in our thoughts or in our relationships.
We get to choose the realm we inhabit. What we see and experience is a vibrational match to what we think, believe and feel.
This is Part II of a two part blog.
There are all kinds of realms or dimensions in the spirit world. These realms are divided by levels of consciousness. The population of one world is totally unaware of the inhabitants of the other worlds. The higher dimensions are filled with the Light and Love of God and are affirming and joyful. Other worlds are gray or very dark and permeated with evil, jealousy, anger and repression. These worlds are really low. As well, there are all kinds of other worlds that are somewhere in between these two.
Actually this mirrors the many different "worlds" that human beings inhabit on earth. My wife and I have often commented when we have visited a "foreign" country or an area of the United States or our neighborhood, for that matter, that we have never been to before that it certainly seems like we have entered whole new planet. Similarly those in spirit congregate according to similar interests and lifestyles. Like attracts like both in the physical plane and in the spiritual planes.
When you pass over, you go to whatever part of the spirit world that you are a vibrational match to. So, if you sincerely are a loving, giving and serving person, you will go to a dimension filled with like hearted people. If you are the opposite, you will join your comrades in negativity in some rather nasty place. I might add here that it is not what you say that determines where you go, but what is in your heart determines it.
So, let's say you went to a more "heavenly" area. There you begin to see yourself more and more in the Light and Likeness of God and gradually your view of yourself begins to change. In time you no longer identify yourself so much with your present personality and its characteristics and beliefs, but rather, as your ego identity fades in the Light, you begin to see yourself more and more as a part of the Divine whole, as Divine. You still have an individualized identity. It is you! But you now truly know yourself to be a part of the Whole and no longer a separate, disconnected entity.

So, to accomplish this, you need to be very intentional and conscious in how you choose to respond to the energies of situations and people. You can let the lower energies simply pass through you instead of allowing them to “stick” to you. You can keep your vibration high by being conscious of the energetic dynamics of the situation you are in.
You can now integrate this “way of being” into all the interactions in your life. Understanding the energy dynamics in your life is the key to your full awakening and happiness. As well, you can also assist others with there own spiritual growth if you open your heart, trust your feelings and understand the energetic dynamics between you and others.
Additionally, as you open to being a vibrational being, a dramatic shift will occur because you will gain greater compassion for people. When you view the energy involved in a situation it will become less and less about what "he said, she said" or "me and them" or “right and wrong” and more about sensing the energy of the situation you are in.
We can help remove the confusion and judgments in our life by living as the vibrational beings that we really are. Then we’ll now what is in fact going on and will truly live an authentic and empowered life.

The only problem with all this was that you were not conscious of what you were “picking up” on energetically because you were not looking for it. So, you were very vulnerable to being drained.
As a vibrational being, your energy body has a reaction to these energetic forces coming toward you. This is where your ability to make choices comes into play. Often when energy comes at us that is forceful and of a lower vibration, we usually match the vibration we are receiving in order to reach a balance with the "invading" energy. So, in other words, when situations like the ones described above occur, we send out an emotional energy, consciously or unconsciously, in order to accommodate the new vibration we are receiving.
The difficulty with all this is that we often tend, out of habit, to match the lower energies instead of rising above them. We often take the “low road” instead of taking the “high road.” We default into the lowest common denominator.
But we are very capable of adapting to situations in a way that chooses the highest energies. We can learn over time that we do not have to match the lower vibrations of others, but we can hold a vibration that is in balance and harmony instead. This comes with practice and by being very energetically conscious of what is going on.

Please note that if you had chosen to get all embroiled in the “drama” of the above three scenarios, you would have felt drained and exhausted within the first half-hour of your work. On the other hand, if you had stayed centered and in a high vibration, you would be fresh and sharp and full of energy.
We either attune ourselves to the highest energies; or we don’t! Our environment doesn’t determine our experiences; what we focus on does.
We choose the vibration we resonate with by virtue of what we focus on. We see what we are looking at and what we are looking for. It’s all about vibration; it’s all a choice.
We are all evolving into conscious creators; that is conscious choosers of the vibrations we interact with.
This is the evolutionary path we are on. And as we develop the “heart-mind” that White Eagle spoke of earlier, we accelerate our growth and enhance and enrich our experiences of life. It’s all an inside job!
So, let’s look more closely at what was going on energetically in the situations above.
Each of the people in this situation has their own energy. Imagine for a moment what was happening energetically as you sat at your desk while all this was going on. Your energetic body was feeling the waves of energy moving towards you well before they reached you. When the waves arrived, you sensed not only the force of energy of the individuals involved, but, as well, you energetically experienced their thoughts and feelings. All these vibrations, negative and positive, come towards you and you experienced them on a vibrational level.

Now to continue the saga, a few minutes after the first co-worker leaves another co-worker comes by and starts ragging very negatively about the person you were just talking to. As this begins to happen, you have a choice to either join him in his vibrations of negativity and jealousy towards her or you can simply let him blow of some steam for a few minutes and then go back to work. He can either become a significant part of your experience that day or simply be just a passing blip on your screen.
Next, he leaves and you finally get back to your work only to discover that your computer is frozen and you can’t get any work done. So, again, you have a choice to either get all bent out of shape about it and choose a series of negative currents of energy to jump into; or you can choose to accept what is happening as part of the flow of what working with computers is all about and simply get someone to fix the computer while you get some other work done.
If the above examples don’t exactly apply to you, I’m sure that you have had similar ones happen at times.
As vibrational beings we choose the vibration that we resonate with. It’s all a choice. We can choose to be conscious and intentional with regard to the energies we engage with and focus on or not.

You can only “feel” who you ARE! You can’t “think” who you are! The mind measures, analyzes, and judges things, thus just skimming the surface; the heart, on the other hand, “feels” and thus becomes “one with” its object of attention and thus knows from within. It “sees” the whole picture.
So, from my point of view, we are here to “feel” our way through life rather than “think” our way through life.
Below is an example of a series of experiences that I feel could be instructive to help you to learn how to shift your way of perceiving and experiencing your world in a more energetic or vibrational way. Actually, learning how to “feel” your way through life can be very practical as well as liberating on a day-to-day basis. Below is a practical example.
So, here we go: You routinely walk into your place of work one morning and sit down at your desk and begin your normal work routine. Within a minute or so a co-worker comes up to you and starts to very negatively complain about the boss and she just won’t stop. She is very intense and totally preoccupied. There is no stopping her. You can’t get a word in edgewise.
As this is going on, you have a choice to either join your co-worker in her vibrations of negativity and anger by joining in the conversation or you can step back and instead neutrally witness her behavior. Rather than getting caught up in the same negative vibrations which will only drain you—no matter how justified it may seem—you can choose to hold a higher vibration.

Everyone is capable of learning to interpret and “pick up” on energy and to connect to the universal energies, if they wish to. This is not just the province of psychics, mystics, healers and divinely ordained and gifted ones. Actually, we are all evolving in this direction.
As White Eagle wrote:
We are coming full-circle. Actually, we have always been able to do this, but simply forgot. We put our ego, overly logical minds in charge and forgot that our minds are meant to be the servant of our Soul and not the other way around.
We are intuitive beings first. We are not “talking heads;” we are “feeling hearts.”
In other words, who is your Master: your rational, logical, analytical ego mind with its false sense of superiority and delusions of grandeur or your heart or Soul who knows who you are and why you are here and can easily “pick up” on the more subtle energies?
The logical mind can not comprehend that which it is not!

Shifting our perceptions to the non-physical vibrational world that is all around us can be a bit of a challenge, given our very narrow over reliance on the empirical sciences and the logic of the left-brain. The key is to shift gradually and incorporate more and more of an energetic perspective about our lives and the world. By appreciating that every person and every thing has a unique energy signature and that even our emotions, feelings and words are energy, we will transform ourselves and our experience of the world radically.
Vine Deloria, a Native-American scholar wrote in this regard:
“For primitive people the presence of energy and power is the starting point of their analysis and understanding of the natural world...primitive people felt power, but did not measure it. Today we are able to measure power, but do not feel it.”
By expanding our awareness in this way, we accept that we are picking up on energy and vibration throughout our day. Once we open to this paradigm, we then can begin to assess how we feel in relationship to these countless energies. We can then learn to trust our “gut” feelings, hunches and instincts as a very legitimate way to interpret and understand ourselves, others and the world we live in.

We exist in a world with many different types of stimulation. Our lives are filled with a multitude of energetic experiences. Starting from the womb, through infancy, childhood, adolescence and adulthood we are always picking up on and being bombarded by all kinds of energies. Usually we pick up on these energies unconsciously. They affect us, but we don’t realize it. We pick up on other people’s energies, as well as the energies of water, stones, plants, animals, electromagnetic waves, etc., etc.
Simply stated, we are vibrational beings who pick on energies of all different kinds.
We are entering an era now where our previously limited perceptions in this regard are expanding geometrically. Our beliefs about who we are and what we are possible of achieving and receiving are being radically transformed to reveal that we live in a world full of depth and beauty that we did not previously realize existed simply because we had very limited perceptions about ourselves and about the world we lived in.
We have lived in the dark, but now it is dawning upon us that we are much more than what the physical eye can perceive.
