EVOL YOUR PRESSURE

PART 1

As we know, spirit shines out of the undimensional levels of Being into the dimensions of time and space. It creates substance, then forms made of that substance, and then moves through these forms in its creative activity. The movement of spirit in the dimensional world creates pressure. Wherever there’s pressure, there’s movement and change. The purpose for this activity is to create new and expanded forms of experience in Being, so that Being may have an ever-changingand expanding experience of Self.

Bringing all this down to our immediate locale, the Earth, we see that some major forms of pressure have developed in the body of the planet. Pressure is everywhere, of course, but I’m now thinking of such large engines of pressure as are present, for example, in the Earth’s core—where pressure builds, causing volcanic eruption. In the Earth’s crust pressures develop and, when enough is generated, earthquakes occur. In the element of water, when flowing downhill or moving in ocean currents and tides, enormous pressures are created. And in the atmosphere there are high- and low-pressure areas with the subsequent winds, as the air moves from the high- to low-pressure areas. All life forms are affected by these and many other phenomena, but I wish to emphasize these major engines of outer movement.     When people experience pressure, such as the high cost of living, they don’t usually associate it with any of the forces I’ve referred to. But, for example, when the sun shines and heats up water or land, causing high pressure bareas in the atmosphere, this affects climate, which determines crop production, which causes pressure in the human world because of the cost of food, and this affects the cost of many other things. As this occurs, all sorts of social pressures then develop. Some people can afford items, whilst others can’t. One could take a long time illustrating how individu1als’ challenges originate back to some of these larger planetary pressures. Population growth is another source of increasing worldwide pressure.

TIME TO EVOL

More personally, pressures occur within the individual.There are some relatively pleasant ones, as when pressure is relieved in the processes of elimination; in sexual function there is the development and release of pressure. And there’s pressure experienced in all creative activities. These pressures are rather delightful. But, as we know, there are other pressures that are not so pleasant. Maybe something gets blocked in the physical body—the bowel, or circulatory system perhaps—the pressure that develops then is not so comfortable. If there is a personal problem, then mental or emotional pressures can develop. Obviously, in such cases, we seek to alleviate what is causing the oppressive experience. We go to the doctor, perhaps, and we consider many things in order to alleviate mental and emotional pressure.We do this more or less naturally,but what happens when oppressive pressure isn’t readily resolved? Earlier I mentioned that the purpose for spirit being released into the dimensional world is to create an expanded experience of Self, and that nrequires pressure. (Though in the divine Design, this is not oppressive pressure.) We know that pressure is required in physical birth, and so it is in this multidimensional process of continuous birth into a greater experience of Self. So, when we encounter pressure in our lives— whether pressures in relationship, finances, health, or anything else—we need to remember the basic purpose back of all pressure. Cosmically, pressure is designed to expand and develop the experience of a greater Self, and so it is in the holographic lives of individuals. It’s exactly the same process, and when pressure comes we can handle it correctly by remembering what its fundamental purpose is. We allow an ascension process within ourselves.We, like a bar of soap when squeezed, either go up or down.

When pressure comes on we resolve to let our consciousness be expanded upward. We focus on the wonderful quality of our Being and act accordingly in the midst of pressure.We don’t necessarily have to do too much externally. I’m not trying to legislate as to what we do; it’s really just holding in mind the quality that is at the core of the process, so that one is penetrating deeper into the quality of Self. If this is done consistently, the identity becomes established in what we call the angelic Self. This Identity is divine. This qualitative experience is in the undimensional levels of Being, and this is always the place of peace, because in the undimensional levels there is no pressure. So if one can locate this experience in one’s outer consciousness and let the consciousness be absorbed into the qualitative nature of who we really are, then there is a very different experience relative to external pressures. We are not overwhelmed by them.
