Upgrading the Network

by Anet Paulina

Recently I accompanied a friend who enjoys gambling on a trip to the casinos. In addition to a desire to win money, which I cannot seem to prevent (the desire, that is, unfortunately not the winning!), my primary motivation in playing the slot machines was to become familiar with how my projection of energy manifests physical outcomes.

At times my visualizations seemed to help (especially when my friend, not I, was operating the machine), but the results were unpredictable. Most of the time I could not see a correlation between my perceived state of being (revealed by my feelings and thoughts) and what was happening with the machine. This was frustrating, because as the day progressed I became increasingly aware of the importance of learning to consciously manage my energy.

There are many other realities in which we (as souls or essences) exist, and the Earth dimension is one of the most separated from essence. This is an experience we chose, but it is challenging. Our existence here is analogous to being on a wired computer network in which the router is far away, with poor lines of communication to the individual stations. The global consciousness shift we are in the throes of is, in effect, upgrading the network to have lines of communication that are much clearer and faster. It might be more accurate to describe it as a shift from a wired to a high-speed wireless network. The shift is a process that will take decades to complete. In the meantime, we are still (for the most part) dealing with the cumbersome wired network.

With my awareness of other realities that have better lines of communication right now, often I am frustrated and bored with our current system and feel like I’m ready to move on to new adventures. (This is not the same as being suicidal —feeling ready to move on is different from actively trying to make it happen. And although I do not judge those who make that choice, it would not be appropriate for me.)

The day after the casino trip, I was discussing the consciousness shift with a friend who described the Earth as being surrounded by a grid of consciousness filled with thoughts, feelings, and energy forms —everything that has ever been thought of or experienced in our world. The grid acts as a buffer between humans and their soul essences. At a pivotal point in the shift, he said, this grid will dissolve and we will have instant connection.

I don’t know that this idea is literally or completely valid, but I sense a basic truth in it. As my friend talked, I suddenly realized why it is so important that I learn to consciously manage my energy: once the pivotal point of the shift is reached, there will be almost instantaneous manifestation of our intent. If we haven’t learned to manage our energy projections by that point, we will be like toddlers running around wielding loaded guns!

My second realization was that it is indeed important for me to stay on Earth in a physical body for awhile longer, because I am part of the “critical mass” of people who are highly motivated to become self-aware and learn to manage our energy projections. Perhaps this critical mass must be reached before the shift can fully manifest. I don’t know for sure, but I do know that it helps to feel there is a purpose for my continuing to remain connected to this often cumbersome network.
