The Three Pathways of Consciousness

Consciousness, as the underpinning to all of creation, is traveled along three determined circuit pathways. Depending on how one approaches life and one’s own identification, this will signify which of the three ways one interacts and orients themselves with the conscious matrix reality. Our dreams are an indicator of this activity and exchange, and so will be used as illustrations to clarify the three pathways. The speed of consciousness in each will also be examined.

The Autopilot Conscious Pathway

This first circuit pathway is like being on autopilot. In our dreams, we find ourselves in the middle of a story that unfolds around us. Our reactive thoughts and emotions will alter the story slightly, as the dream capitalizes on our attention and stress, but ultimately proceeds on an automatic process that ends when our brain waves pull us out of REM sleep. For some, or many, this is also how life is experienced. One day, they woke up (or were born) in the middle of an ongoing story. They developed and adapted to being a character in the story’s events, allowing life to unfold from day to day around them, carving out a little space of observance for themselves. They respond to larger events and experiences in the world, and in their personal lives, with reactive thought and emotion, which alters their story and gravitates or separates them from certain plot lines. However, they live mostly on autopilot, unaware of their ability to grab the controls, and tap into and alter the conscious matrix of life. They think of themselves as a small self being pushed and pulled at reality’s whimsy. The story ends when their bodies, or character form, can no longer sustain a viable connection with the story experience. When they reawaken to their soul self and review their human story, as one woken from sleep thinks upon their dreams, they realize how active, inactive, or reactive they actually were in the evolution of their story.

In the beginning of a sentient species this pathway is all that is known. Life, creation, God, the physical and supernatural, are all outside of them. They are unaware of their connection to it, and therefore, are also unaware of their ability to affect and their active participation with the conscious matrix. When life injects events and manifests according to their oblivious interaction, life is seen as a monstrous foe or a heavenly gift, depending on the results.

The speed of consciousness is observed as a slow unfoldment of time. Life revolves in seasons, cycles, and ages. It takes weeks, months, years, even eons, to observe evolution, transformation, and major change in the way of the world or one’s life.

The Master Conscious Pathway

In the second circuit pathway, the autopilot is turned off, and the captain is at the helm, trimming his sails, studying his charts, and flowing with the conscious current. In this active exchange, one has developed a partnership with the conscious matrix. For the few, or many, they are knowledgeable that they can affect and attract experiences to them based upon their attitudes, behaviors, and attention. Goals, visualizations, intentions, mantras, meditations, an active physical and spiritual healthy lifestyle, are all signs of someone oriented around being the master of their fate. They navigate with maturity and awareness to greater varying degrees of the larger conscious presence. They have created a network of internal and external resources that help them traverse their journey wisely, seizing and releasing, toward each transformational destination.

In dream state this would equate to lucidity and even astral traveling. In lucid dreaming, one is aware they are dreaming. They are consciously active and observant to their surroundings. It is as if they stepped into a landscape, realized it for being a fantasy, and began walking, waiting to see what would develop and who they might interact with. At this stage of awareness, one can presently process the symbolisms that appear, ask questions, and retain more information than one would in a non-lucid dream. For the mindful conscious person, they are not thrown by events and can weather them, seeing the meaning behind each experience they encounter.

In astral traveling, like a lucid dream, one is aware they are in an altered conscious state and have the same conscious abilities as they would in a lucid dream. The difference is, there is also the added benefit that the person becomes aware of the time framework to remain in that altered state. The dream, also, takes on more of a dimensional experience. The people present in the dream are either of a higher vibratory nature, coming with messages, or one is transported to a different place in the universe and interacting with those species and world. In comparable translation, this is a higher degree awareness of conscious interaction with reality. Moving along this pathway more information stirs within one. They become aware of memories and experiences that is more relevant to a higher reality of being than a linear reality. Time begins to move forward and backwards for them. They become expansive in nature to their own self, to those who are put into their life, as well as the many interdimensional beings and resources they have to travel along this existence. As they evolve, they are inspired and encouraged, and will eventually orient around the third circuit pathway.

The speed of consciousness is recognized at a much faster pace. The ebb and flow, rise and fall are noticed at each interval. Evolution and the patterns of change are experienced in its constant morphing nature.

The Creator Conscious Pathway

The third circuit pathway is one who is so interwoven with the conscious matrix reality that they can bend it, alter it, reshape it. They are the creator and authority of this conscious matrix. All reality as they have known it is their own consciousness, self, and sentience. This identity and pathway communication allows one to do anything and be anyone. As their incarnated self, one can perform miracles: calm the seas, move mountains, alter the weather, cure the sick, resurrect the dead, transport to other locations by thought, change the course pattern of a meteor, portal to other dimensions, whatever the imagination, need, or desire. With this godhood cognition, one experiences life in larger realities, recognizing themselves in every person and everything, throughout creation. Everywhere the conscious matrix exists, this is their existence.

To equate this stage with our dreams, would be to know its presence is ours to command. We no longer just let the story absent-mindedly flow around us, like the first circuit pathway, or even choose to interact with its possibilities and offerings, as a lucid state would offer, from the second circuit pathway. Now, once the dream is established, we can command the story to stop, and it will freeze. Perhaps, even before we go to sleep we construct the nature of the place we wish to journey. We tell the dream matrix the parameters of the story, assign the characters, plot, even the result, and then give it permission to resume or manifest. Once in motion, the dream follows our commands and authority. We become, essentially, Dreamwalkers. Conscious clarity is even more substantial and clear than a normal lucid dream.

The speed of consciousness is instantaneous. One can move along this pathway like lightning from origin of thought to manifestation. At this point, a whole new experience and knowledge of reality is available and present to us. This third circuit pathway, then, becomes the basic operating system in this next advanced conscious existence.
