Rachel’s Lesson from Sunday, October 4, 2020

 

I get to love on a lot of people. That is why I am here, in this body, at this place, at this time. And many people that I love on, are grieving the loss of people they love. The idea of Heaven comes up a lot. We can look at Heaven a couple different ways. Heaven, so I have been shown, an actual place. It’s another dimension very, very close to ours- almost like it is made of cellophane and lightly wrapped around us. Once people are free of their bodies that hurt, or the situations that controlled them, they are able to exist in pure love. 

We can also look at Heaven, not as an actual place, but the expansion of our minds- our enlightenment. This Heaven is not around us, like the place Heaven. It is within us, available to us at any time. 

As we expand our minds, we reach another dimension in our being: And we call this the Christ Consciousness, One-ness, God-self. 

 

We are evolving as a people now. Right now. We always have been. We always will be. Have faith in that.  The movement on the surface can seem slow, but like the great tectonic plates beneath the earth’s surface, we are moving and shaking so the lava can appear.  

 

So we have two ideas of Heaven that we can play with: Heaven as a place, and Heaven as a consciousness. 

 

From the Smithsonian Magazine

 In her book, Knocking on Heaven's Door, Harvard University theorist Lisa Randall explores how physics may transform our understanding of the fundamental nature of the world. She thinks an extra dimension may exist close to our familiar reality. This idea, once the sole province of fiction writers, faces real tests in a new generation of experiments

She writes: "The religious part of your brain cannot act at the same time as the scientific one. They are simply incompatible."
 

She continues… “When I say they are incompatible, I mean something very specific: A spiritual belief based on something that isn't actual material or cause and effect—the ways we understand scientifically—is just different than science.” 

 

Ok- but what if we marry science and spirituality together? 

 

As seekers, metaphysicians,  we go meta- or beyond/ transcending what is seen and unseen, known and unknown. We explore what lies beyond or transcends the physical reality. 

We can use science to help us discover the Heaven dimension around us, and our spirituality to discover the Heaven dimension within us.

And so, let’s go meta together, right now. Let’s go to another dimension. We’ve already done it, actually. When you let your body go soft and pliable, and you ease into the meditative space, we could say that we have shifted from here, to somewhere else. And that somewhere else is a dimension that we can discover little by little our whole lives. Where do we go when we pray?  Who hears our words? Who feels our intent? What matches what we put out by presenting it back to us?  

Where do you want to go? Do you want to visit a place that is made of love? Healing? Abundance? What are those places made of? The earth is made of matter…..what are the other dimensions made of? Scientists are discovering that, but for the sake of our talk today, let’s say that the dimensions we seek are made of vibrational frequency. And so are you. 

Travel with me a moment, to the place of highest good- the God Consciousness, the One-Ness. Right here and now- in our minds and in our hearts. And to get there, we have to match its frequency. We are matching the measurement of Hertz. The hertz is defined as one cycle per second. If the God dimension, or we could even call it the Heaven dimension, is close to 1000 Hz per second. Heaven is spinning, dancing, vibrating at 1000 hertz per second. 

Can your physical body match that frequency?  Yes. The highest a human can vibrate is between 800-1000 Hz. 

We talk often about the spiritual side of our enlightenment- but let’s remember that our physical body needs attention as well. Our physical body that does such an amazing job of housing our Spirit- can feel like it gets in the way sometimes. We ache, we are angry, we are judgemental….our frequency slows. The vibrational frequency of anger is 150 Hz, verses the 1000 Hz that is the God Consciousness. 

Sit still for a moment, place your hand on your heart, and just feel. Let your Spirit dance within you- and feel your Spirit vibrate into your hand. Breath in and out, allowing your physical body and your Spiritual body to greet each other. And feel your vibration. 

Go ahead and rest your hands in your lap.

You may not be able to distinguish your actual frequency, but if you check in with your emotional state- you can get a clue about your vibrational frequency of the moment. For instance…

 

 

Here are some other measurements that are fascinating:

600 Crown Chakra opens – beginning of Enlightenment
and Oneness

530 Third Eye starts to become activated – seeing
beyond the reality as is presented, illusions are falling
apart, seeing clearly, identification with ego begins to
dissolve – working towards Oneness – extra sensory
powers begin to awaken as a side-effect

400 Heart Chakra is activated, feeling and seeing love in
self, others and nature

350 Reasonable views on life, strong in self in relation to
the world, Solar Plexus

200 NEUTRAL FREQUENCY – TRUTH & INTEGRITY –
Ok-ness, Acceptance of reality as it is, Acceptance of
deep personal inner truth, Authenticity with self and
others

180 Courage – to make a change

 

Your consciousness – your mind, your thoughts – defines your vibrational frequency. 

 

 

Remember the song, Heaven is a Place on Earth?  I love that song:

Ooh, baby, do you know what that's worth?
Ooh, heaven is a place on earth.
They say in heaven love comes first
We'll make heaven a place on earth
Ooh, heaven is a place on earth

In this world we're just beginning
To understand the miracle of living
Baby, I was afraid before
But I'm not afraid anymore

Ooh, baby, do you know what that's worth?
Ooh, heaven is a place on earth
They say in heaven love comes first
We'll make heaven a place on earth
Ooh, heaven is a place on earth

 

We have the power to bring Heaven to earth with our thoughts- and therefore our frequencies. Because Heaven is within us- the miracle of living is discovering that we are not humans having a spiritual experience. We are SPIRIT have a human experience! And the Truth is, we can make that whatever we want it to be by staying intentional about our thoughts and frequency.

A little bit ago I asked you to go on a quest with me- to another dimension. By raising our frequency, by holding an intent that is loving and for our highest good, we elevated to the Heaven within us. Heaven is not just somewhere else- it is here. It is everywhere, if we choose to see it that way. 

Yes- life can be challenging. OK- fine. That is what we signed up for when we incarnated here. And- as we navigate this life experience…we have choice to deflate or elevate. 

When we awaken and raise our frequencies to the degree that the God part of us shines consistently, we gain another level of our identity. We gain the Christ part of us. 

Unity’s definition of Christ- and I am talking about Unity Worldwide- founded on the ideas of Charles and Myrtle Fillmore- is a lot different than the definition of Christ in traditional Christianity. In traditional Christianity, Jesus is presented as the great exception. Jesus was anointed and more Divine and holy than all other humans. And because of this, Jesus had a special relationship with God. Jesus was named the son of God. Jesus is seen as a step above; and one who has a special connection to God that other humans do not have.

Are you willing for a few minutes to break that definition apart, so we can build it back up?

At Unity, Jesus is not the great exception. Jesus is the great example. We look to Jesus as an example of a person, like you and me, who decided to recognize the God within himself. And when he awakened to the truth that he was divinely made, and that realization was present in his thoughts, words and actions, he became The Christ. Jesus is our great example because we can do this, too. Instead of seeing Jesus Christ at a level that we are always reaching for, we can choose to pull Jesus in and allow him to be our example.

The word Christ means anointed (Divine and holy). We know that Kings, clergy, saints are all anointed. In truth, when you elevate to your Christ self, you are anointed. You are Divine and Holy.  You have the Christ within you. Every person has the potential to be Christed. 

On this spiritual journey, there are days, seasons, even, when we do not feel spiritual. Have faith that you have a current of God running through you at all times, even when you don’t recognize it. When your mind does not feel spiritual, consider paying attention to your thoughts. Are your thoughts allowing you to vibrate at a loving, healthy frequency? Can you forgive someone who hurt you, therefore allowing your frequency to dance closer to the Heaven frequency? Yes. Yes,You can.
