In spirituality, the importance of achieving a raised consciousness to rise above all of the drama on the Earthly plane cannot be understated. The terms, ‘consciousness’, ‘ascension’, ‘third, fourth or fifth dimension’ are common terms and underpin a lot of my own channellings. What does it all look like in real life though?

Before I start, I must mention that, in my view, everything we believe in is a level of consciousness, even God. Within each belief level, there are differing levels of consciousness that determines our perceptions and what we attract in our thoughts, words and actions. For instance, some might believe in God, but that he is vengeful and punishing. Others may believe in a God that is loving and benevolent but that they are lesser than Him, and must abide by the religious doctrine to be ’saved’, while others might believe that God is the Supreme Source, akin to Universal love and thus they are ‘one’ with Him/Her and forever protected and provided for.

The levels of consciousness within all of these belief examples are vastly different and will, in alignment with Universal Law, mean that the believer lives their life reaping the consequences of those beliefs. If we align each example to a dimension of consciousness, it is easy to feel the vibrations of each one and which one would attract the happier outcomes.

Third dimensional beliefs and behaviours are grounded in ego, self –service and personal gain.  People operating in this consciousness will engage in gossip, create drama to put others down so they can make themselves look good, and think nothing of lying about something to get their own way. The consequences for others is not something they care about—as long as they benefit, that is all that matters. Thieves, scammers, some business people and even those in positions of authority would be operating at this level.

Remember, there are many levels in this dimension, and not all people stay stuck in the lower dimensions for the course of their life. One would hope that, with experience, lessons and interactions with people who can see things from a higher perspective, they would begin to consider others and not be so self-absorbed. The word for this dimension is ‘doing.’

Fourth dimensional thinking is a bit higher but can still be more around self. However, someone operating from the fourth dimension would be showing consideration for and kindness to others and caring if they have hurt someone else’s feelings. They would still be quite judgemental towards others and have times when the drama of the third dimension drags them down. The word for this dimension is ‘becoming’.

Fifth dimensional consciousness is where a person works to stay out of the drama and allow people their journey without judgement or gossip, even if they don’t like or agree with them. The word for this dimension is ‘being.

Here’s the thing, though. We work through these dimensions every day, and it takes diligent awareness of one’s thoughts to keep from slipping into a lower dimension of thinking, particularly if you in an environment where lower dimensional thinking and behaviour is dominant. It’s much easier to be dragged down into drama than  it is to not engage in it.

How do I manage? I am like everyone else, and I certainly have struggled at times not to think badly of someone or to be outraged by political and global events. But I have tools! I am aware that my guides are with me all the time, bearing witness, and I am much better at monitoring my thoughts, cutting and cancelling them, reframing them and using the Violet Flame of Transmutation to negate any energy that can harm someone or bring karma back to me. I keep grounded, as healthy as I can and attempt to be the best person I can be. After all, that’s all anyone can ever do, isn’t it?  Love to you all!
