The Presence
“When you take people into the spirit world, do they see God?” This is a question I am frequently asked about at lectures and there is no short answer. I can say my subjects do feel the Source of their origins all about them in the spirit world. The more advanced explain that all souls will eventually coalesce back into conjunction with the Source of purple light. However, is there someplace in the spirit world where a being superior to the Elders is evident to the still- incarnating soul? The answer is yes, at council meetings.
During the time we are meeting with the Council of Elders there is the overwhelming feeling of an even higher force which is simply called “the Presence.” Many subjects state, “This is as close to God as we get.” My more advanced clients, who are nearing the end of their regular incarnations, indicate that they don’t think the Presence is God, exactly. To them it is a deified entity, or entities, with capabilities immensely superior to those on the council. Everyone agrees that the Presence is there to assist the work of the council.
Typically, people who come to me do not like to use the word God in describing a higher Presence, which they feel more than see in the spirit world. They prefer to use such words as Source, or Oversoul, because the word God has been too personalized on Earth. As many souls approach the more advanced stages of development, the Presence may become pluralized in their minds as a part of the many divine forces in the spirit world with infinite knowledge. They feel this higher force does influence council meetings but might not be the ultimate Creator. My subjects see the greatest evidence of the Presence at council meetings. Even so, the Presence is equated with a larger omnipotent and omnipresent energy force in the spirit world.
After reviewing hundreds of case notes describing the Presence, I decided to offer a few of them in a series of quotes. In their sessions, each subject speaks of the Presence in just a few sentences. I hope the list of quotes I have selected will capture the flavor of what the average soul feels about this aspect of their council meetings:
I do not actually see the Presence, but feel it as the ultimate energy. It is there for the council, but mostly for me. The Elders don’t serve as intermediaries between myself and this Source of power. I feel a direct connection with the divine purple light.
When I am in the council chamber the Presence oversees the Elders with its pulsating violet light. Sometimes it turns to a bright silver to calm and purify my mind.
The Presence is above and in back of the council. Only with difficulty can I look up at this power. I feel its sanctity so strongly that I don’t think I should try to look at it directly during the council meeting. If I did, I could not stay focused on the Elders.
The council seems to acknowledge the Presence without being too deferential to it in such a way as to slow down the proceedings. I think it intended that my council and I pay attention to each other. Still, I have the impression that the magnitude of all this combined intelligent energy is designed just for me at this moment. My guide, the Elders, and the Presence are keepers of the wisdom behind my experiences.
The Presence represents a purity of energy which assists the council on my behalf. I believe that the council needs the help of the Presence because it has been so long since they themselves incarnated in biological form. The pure wisdom of this energy allows both the council and myself to see more clearly where we all should be going.
The brilliance and drawing power of the Presence is a calling . . . an eagerness . . . directed at everyone in the chamber for all of us to join it someday. It is like a parent waiting for us to grow up and unite with it in adult understanding.
When you stand in the council chamber and feel the Presence it is like a penetrating resonance in your mind. Even my master guide encounters the sense of bliss that I do. I know this is why she really enjoys coming to council meetings with me. It is a fountainhead of love and understanding. When my time with the council is over and I leave the Presence . . . there is such a yearning to go back and be close to it once more.
People have asked me if I have ever had anyone who could shed some light on what it is like to be a council member and be closer to the Presence. I have had very few subjects with such experience who are in transition from level V. However, one individual stands out in my mind.
Chinera was one of the most advanced clients I have ever had. No one has taken me closer to the Presence than this soul. Chinera trained in another dimension before coming to Earth several thousand years ago. Today, this client is an acupuncturist who practices a variety of healing arts. The medallion worn by Chinera’s council chairman is shown in figure 9G. Further details about the interdimensional travel capabilities of souls will be examined with the Explorer Soul specialists in chapter 8.
Case 44
Dr. N: When your work as a personal guide is completed, do you expect to be assigned to the Council of Elders?
S: No, this won’t happen yet. I must become a master teacher working with younger teachers . . . helping them get in touch with their students on many levels.
Dr. N: How do you know this?
S: Because I am still in training here (incarnating), learning more about Earth’s biological life forms.
Dr. N: Chinera, it is my belief we are together today to help each other understand certain things. Let’s begin this part of our discussion by my asking you about your relationship with the Elders on your council. Begin by telling me how many you see.
S: I have twelve members on my council right now. After my last life, the four in the center of the table were the ones who questioned me about becoming more centered on Earth. I still have some blocks which need adjustment. The four on the right-hand side are from my original dimension. They are here to assist in the better utilization of the energy I brought with me into Earth’s universe.
Dr. N: What about the last four members of your council?
S: The four on the left-hand side of the table act as stabilizers of universal light and sound between all the dimensions around the Earth universe. They act as a pivotal point to ground me in a physical world.
Dr. N: Can you give me some idea of what blockages are hindering your progress on Earth?
S: Primarily, the council wants me to enlarge my influence with more people. I have been resistant to extending myself. I complain to them that it would dilute my power. They disagree with my arguments about spreading myself too thin.
Dr. N: I know the feeling. Do you accept this evaluation?
S: (long pause) I know they are right but I still feel sometimes I am an alien on Earth.
Dr. N: Tell me, Chinera, have you ever appeared with members of your council to discuss certain students you work with?
S: Yes, I have briefly.
Dr. N: Then perhaps you can help me understand the progression of soul advancement. Where would you classify yourself?
S: I’m working on being a master teacher.
Dr. N: Would the next elevation above this level of a guide be a position on the council?
S: Not necessarily. There are many other choices for specializations. One might not be suited to be on a council.
Dr. N: Let’s say you were suited and were given a seat on the council and were effective there. Where could you go next as a soul?
S: (hesitates in responding) To the place of the Oneness.
Dr. N: Is this represented by the Presence at council meetings?
S: (vaguely) Into that essence, yes.
Dr. N: Describe the Oneness—is it an oversoul?
S: I believe it is many who are One . . . it is the creation center as I know it . . . it is where the creators of new souls shape light energy for certain functions.
Dr. N: Chinera, please describe this process further for me.
S: I . . . can’t tell you too much . . . it is where the energy of new souls is sparked off the oversoul. Where we help the young ones grow, to find their unique identity.
Dr. N: Is the Oneness what we call God?
S: It is a divineness.
Dr. N: Since you have said this divinity could be composed of many who are One, are they the ultimate deity of all universes and all dimensions connecting these universes, including our spirit world?
S: (long pause) I don’t think so.
Dr. N: Where do you think the essence of the Presence comes from?
S: (faintly) Everywhere . . . (stops)
Dr. N: How do you know of these things?
S: I have a mentor on the council . . . we talk a lot . . . my friends and I have flashes of thought . . . and we ask questions about the ultimate reality.
Dr. N: When you talk to your mentor and your friends of a force that might be above even the Presence, what have you heard and felt?
S: It may be the same force of which the Presence is a part, I don’t know . . . it is . . . massive, but soft . . . powerful . . . yet gentle. There is a breath . . . a whisper . . . of sound . . . so pure . . .
Dr. N: (placing the palm of my hand on the subject’s forehead) Stay with these thought fragments, Chinera. Float with them as far as they will take you toward the sound. (speaking in a whisper myself) Is this sound created by some sort of light energy?
S: No, the sound creates all . . . including light and energy.
Dr. N: Move closer as if you were floating without effort—closer toward the origin of the sound. (a command) NOW, WHAT DO YOU SEE AND HEAR?
S: I’m at the edge . . . I can’t . . .
Dr. N: (loudly) KEEP GOING CHINERA!
S: (quietly, with great difficulty) I . . . with my friends . . . when we have unified our minds to the sound we see pictures in our minds . . . they are . . . geometric designs . . . aligned in patterns . .. (stops)
Dr. N: (now softly coaxing) A little further . . . just beyond . . . what is there?
S: I . . . feel . . . the sound holds this structure . . . and . . . makes it move . . . shifting and undulating . . . creating everything. It is a reverberating deep bell . . . then a high-pitched pure humming . . . like an echo of . . . (stops)
Dr. N: Reach in, Chinera, one last effort. An echo of what?
S: (a deep sigh) A mother . . . full of love . . . singing to her child.
I pushed Chinera hard for information because I knew, in my lifetime, I probably would never have another client to quite match her. This individual, and other highly advanced subjects, have indicated that the Council of Elders exists within a reality of deeper meaning beyond the conception of souls still coming to Earth.
