Bi-Location Blunderings – the Beginning

08NOV24 Monday

A lot of what I’m about to write is going to sound as if I am crazy as a loony bird, I’m sure, especially if read by someone who only lives on the surface levels of life while pretending to be deep thinkers. But, I don’t care. I want to write it anyway, if for no other reason than to help me keep my memory fresh.  Or, rather, to have a record with which I can refresh my memory should I need to.

To those who would think I’m ‘out there’, I say, “I’m not ‘out there’… you’re just living in a smaller box.”

Already four or five days have passed since this new phase of learning began. I can feel the details of the experience are transmuting from where each facet is sharp and fresh in its newness like a digital photo that’s been reworked in Photoshop and makes you say, “Wow, that’s incredible!”

Now, as the experience of completely merging with another Divine Soul and being taken on a journey in consciousness slowly fades as it integrates itself into my general psyche, I’m saying, “Okay, now what?”

I was told it was a bi-location experience. I certainly felt the entire experience on a physical level. I know I’ve never felt anything like it in my entire life.

Carlton Jones once told me of a winning home run he had hit in a college baseball game.

His coach told him, “Carlton, take the time to live the sweetness of this moment, right now, because the memory will fade with each passing day. You think you’ll remember it forever, but you won’t.”

This was a good piece of advice. I don’t know how well Carlton has managed to live that advice in his life in general since we’ve been long out of touch, but his coach’s words have stayed with me.

That’s why I feel the need to write this down, no matter how crazy it may seem.  I can feel the sweetness of the moment fading away, sweeping away the razor sharp aspects of the experience. I don’t want to be left with just a hazy smile of remembrance of something pretty incredible. I also don’t want to be left holding mere remnants of the real experience as my intellect changes it, shifts it, and tries to categorize it in a sincere search for understanding how it all happened.

At the same time, I’m struggling with some very subtle doubts and fears that want to call it a simple event of the imagination. Yet, can imagination have that profound effect on the body? The scientist in me wants proof other than the very real sensations I experienced. The adventurer in me, that wild spark of spontaneity that brought me here in the first place, pushes me to just keep on going.

I’ve been wanting to learn to bi-locate for a long time, ever since I read about it in the Ascended Masters series. That would have been back when I went to Grand Cayman for a two week vacation and it was still a pristine island of sandy beaches, crystal clear waters, and tourism was limited to one small ten mile stretch of beach on the south side of the island. I was sure that two weeks would be enough time to learn to move an apple from one side of the table to the other using just the power of my thoughts and intentions.

It was also when I was still new in my Spiritual Awakening process. I’d read that a Spiritual Awakening could happen in the ‘blink of an eye’. I wasn’t sure exactly how much time ‘in a ‘blink of an eye’ would take in our third dimensional linear time line, but I thought that surely two weeks of concentrated effort would be more than enough time for that ‘blink’ to happen.  Oh, the naivety of the beginner!

Anyway, I was prepared for action. I’d booked a private cabana in a tourist hotel that catered mainly to divers. My logic was that I’d have a lot of privacy during the day since the other guests would be underwater and not on the hotel property.

When I got there, I discovered that I’d been upgraded to a cute little house a few miles down the road. It was situated right off the beach and was perfect.  My heart expanded to the point of sweet aching every time I saw the changing turquoise colors of the ocean water as it flowed over coral reefs and out to deeper seas. My imagination soared with its beauty.

I took the upgrade as a good omen and I happily settled in, unpacking the contents of my ‘apple translocation kit’.  Out came meditation tapes; a cassette player; my journal; volume one and two of the Ascended Masters book series; sun screen; bathing suit; one pair of jeans; six tee shirts; one sun dress; one jean jacket; lingerie; sandals; one large all purpose beach bag; the normal assortment of cosmetics and creams, including four different shades of lipstick to reflect different moods I might experience; watercolor paints in case the muse struck me to suddenly whip out a brush and I would magically know what to paint on a blank page of paper; and a swiss army knife because you just never know when you might need one. Oh, I didn’t have the apple yet.  I figured I’d buy it there.

I was working under the premise that anything was possible, even with the watercolors.

The fact of the matter is I still work off that premise. I just have a better understanding, today, that change is evolutionary, not revolutionary. The proverbial ‘blink of an eye’ is directly connected to how much your Vibration can handle… which is directly connected to your thought processes and belief systems… which are directly connected to your emotional and fear states about those thought processes and belief systems… which are directly connected to your ability to perceive and feel yourself… which directly affects your Vibration.

Where does the cycle start actually?  At any given point.

Where does it end?

That’s not the relevant question because the cycle isn’t a circle; it’s a spiral that goes on forever.

The right question to ask oneself is, “Am I spiraling towards the Light of illumination, leaving my ego-based fear by the wayside?  Or am I spiraling away from the Light of illumination towards fear and lack created by ego control?”

In either case, the journey takes you back to the Light Source of God. It’s just that the first choice, spiraling into greater illumination, takes you on a journey in which you consciously swim in the Unconditional Love of God. You are in a constant state of expansion and creation.

It’s like opening up your metaphorical arms to reach out and embrace the rays of the sun so completely, you actually become the sun’s rays in a human form.

The second choice, spiraling further into fear and ego control, takes you on a course of contraction that shuts your consciousness off from one salient fact: all things are made of Divine Light, which is Unconditional Love, including yourself.  You’re still swimming in It and you’re still creating with It, whether you recognize it or not. It’s just that you’re sorely misusing that potentiality.

If you go with the second choice, you end up letting your ego-based fear of being out of control consume yourself because you end up looking outside yourself for something to control. Unless you remake that choice, you keep doing it until there’s very little left of who and what you once were and could become. The ability for True self expansion atrophies itself into a small crumb of its once greatness. That’s when you’d return to the molecules of creation with no individuation of the memories that made up the collective consciousness of ‘you’.

So, either way, you end up back at the Light Source. The first choice takes you to a celebration of Being. The second to eventually becoming a molecular kind of fertilizer for the rest of creation.

But, back to Grand Cayman and where this desire to learn to bi-locate began to take form. It started with an apple.

I was prepared. I was ready. I went out and bought a shiny red crispy looking apple. Came home. Put it on the table. Sat down. I planted my feet firmly on the ground, relaxed my stomach muscles, and concentrated on moving it from one side of the table to the other.

Nothing.

I tried putting my hands and fingers in a different position and concentrated harder.

Nothing.

So, I thought, “Maybe I’m trying to start too big. I’ll just move it a couple of inches,” and concentrated on that for five or ten minutes.

Nothing.

So, I tried putting on a meditation tape, thinking maybe the music would help my concentration.

I fell asleep.

So, I tried a little more the following day.

Still nothing.

I tried sitting on the beach, feeling the sun on my face and the wind in my hair,  feeling at one with the tropics of my soul. Once I felt totally focused, I fervently willed the apple to move from one side of my beach blanket to the other.

Nothing.

Well, this time, I got a pretty good sun burn to show for my efforts and the apple started looking a little worse for wear. I think it was about the third day that I finally got tired of looking at it and put it to good use as the food source it was intended to be.

It was when I was reading one of the books on the Ascended Masters that I discovered the concept of bi-location. My eyes stayed riveted to the page as my imagination played out the experiences of this Yogi Master who would actually appear at another place, miles and miles away from where others confirmed he was in meditation. The book talked about how the people he spoke to were totally unaware that the Yogi in front of them was also physically somewhere else at the same time. The crux of it was there were eye witnesses in both places, all adamantly testifying that they’d had personal interactions with the Yogi at documented times, which could only confirm that the Yogi was, indeed, at two places at the same time. According to the book, as this phenomenon became known, more care was taken to document the Yogi’s activity in order to erase any doubts one might have.

When I read this, something clicked inside of me and I knew it was possible.

My reaction at the time was to sigh and tell myself, “One day…”

How could I possibly think of bi-location when I had the core results of my apple-moving efforts sitting right there in my hand? My stomach growled in agreement. Either that or the apple had spent too much time in direct sunlight.

Later, I heard the entire Ascended Masters book series was a hoax. I don’t know if this is true or not and, frankly, I don’t care one way or another. There’s always someone to call ‘hoax’ on just about everything. Even if I hadn’t heard later about the Dalai Lama bi-locating as well as Padre Pio here in Italy doing the same, I still knew (and know) in my heart that it’s possible. Okay, maybe not probable, but it’s the possibility that excites me.
