i-We-ness.
Stepping inside the Bodies of Passersby
and discovering a new way of existing.
THE EXPERIENCE:
“It was a holiday. Empty roads. I was driving in the car, by myself, driving slowly as the streets were narrow. I had, for the hour before and while driving had been practicing ‘being in the now’, as opposed to ‘being in the jangled jig-saw pieces of everyday’.“As I was driving past a passerby, there was a lovely moment where the tongue of my attention entered into his body. I was in a passersby’s body and in Tarun’s body driving the car, I could feel his feet, his stomach, his chappals, then a woman, a dog, a gol-gappa man, a child…
“Often today, on our phones we sometimes have a split-screen where 2 videos play simultaneously, or have pictures-in-pictures, where a main story is happening and another is like an annotation, well, a little like that. In each I could see life from the other person’s perspective. I was them. For a few brief seconds, I was them, and I was I. Meaning: I was a we-i or an i-we. At a given point I was maximum 3-4 people.
“Now to make it more complicated, there were times when I was not the whole person, but a fragment. Just a stomach roiling. I drove back home, safely. If there was a hint of lack of control, I would have parked on the side. Or just broken the multi-self connection. As I shifted from narrower streets to busier streets, the linkage faded…
“Anyway, as I landed back, home, Celia asked, if I was ok. 15 minutes before I arrived back, she had an intuition and watched over me as I drove back.”
REFLECTING ON THE EXPERIENCE:
Over the last decade at Creator’s Child we have explored in about 10 other articles, innumerable other instances of multi-being. If you haven’t read it, you can do so below. As we reflect on this experience there are distinctive lessons we get from this experience…
Learning #1: There are Deep Linkages between Us & Others
Once again we see that the frog-in-the-well being that many of us experience all our lives is untrue. So the first learning is that there are deep linkages between us and others. Here it wasn’t some past-life one, but an intimate one between us and many in the world around us.Passersby’s are not Passersby’s they are co-explorers of the Infinity of The Now.
In quantum entanglement one sees that 2 entangled particles or bodies are connected even though they may be separated by light years or universes.
Learning #2: There are i-We-ness states of being…
Sometime ago, Scientist’s described a new matter where, plastic and organic material had fused together. Similarly we realize that we are not just describing a new freedom of I, but… We are not just saying there are Deep Linkages but rather we should consider there are Deep Onenesses, which are here one, there disintegrate into components.One could say Tarun noticed PasserbyB. But more accurately one could say Tarun became Tarun & PasserbyB who shared consciousness with Tarun.
There is [Tarun] and there is Tarun & PasserbyBTarun
One could say Mr A noticed B. Or one could say A became a new state of being A&BA
Learning # 3: Let’s create a language to describe the many i-We-ness states of being…
Now our English Grammar and Traditional Logic is being stretched. For there are very few words for what we are describing… And so we would like you to consider a few descriptions to understand the possibilities… But do so slowly because it is hard to wrap our heads around.
A} [1] – [2], there are 2 individuals and they are connected by a normal action of looking, talking, touching.
B} Then there is 1 & 2, where 1 and 2 share a deep bond like two people on a park bench. One may also describe this as I1 & I2 . There are two I’s but linked by a deep bond.
C} Then there is I1&I2 . Here there is a deep connection, but the connection is principally metaphysical. Meaning they are deeply intertwined but can also be considered outwardly and inwardly to be Individual1 and Individual2.
D} Then there is 1i2. Here there are two individuals Individual1 and Individual2, but they are all expressions of a single Iness. Something spoken of by ancient scriptures, principally Indian. All are expressions of a supreme one. But the supreme one while being an overall reality is connected to but separate from the 1-2-3-4’s. Much like how the web connects billions of devices. But is not the device.
E} Then there is I1&2&3&4 Here there are many individuals but they are all contained and dreamed of by a supreme Iness. Something spoken of by ancient scriptures, principally Indian. All are within a supreme one.
We can go on & on… but it is time to absorb it… {Hey pass the eno’s}.
Learning # 4: One can be in an i-We-ness state and do complex physical functions…
There are these crazy helmets being developed for fighter pilots, where there is an insane amount of information being projected out on it; Radar data that shows things behind, satellite links that uncover cloaked combat planes, sensors that reveal other planes or sams trying to lock on missiles to you, plane data like speed, G’s, weaponry, and voices of friendlies.
While dealing with that huge info mass the pilot must still fly a supersonic machine at mind-numbing speeds, and in split-seconds maneuver, deploy missiles or run interference.
While I was gong slowly, the deep intimate knowledge of other’s lives did not interfere with driving… And so there is a reassurance that one can be both mystic and action man simultaneously… Zen can ride a motorcycle!
Learning # 5: One can be in an i-We-ness state and another in an i-We-ness state can guide and lock on…
As Tarun was accessing multiple passersby life experiences… Celia was watching over Tarun… And so he was safer…
Many times when we think of i-We-ness as the higher state, we sometimes forget the democracy of the spiritual. Tarun’s connecting to numerous beings is glitzy, but underlying it is so many threads and beings, some celebrated like Celia, some unseen like their erstwhile Doggy-daughter Buffy.
If we peek into the Mahabharat one encounters 2 superlative heroes. Karna & Arjun. Both were brothers, though separated by circumstance. Both were superlative warriors. In fact, Karna with his impenetrable armour given by the Sun God was in direct combat more likely to succeed.
But Karna was fighting for ‘the baddies’. And Arjun was leading the righteous. AND Arjun had Krishna in his chariot. By emotion trickery, and karmic consequence the more powerful warrior fell in the battle… And with Krishna in his chariot, Arjun spearheaded his side to victory.
Now the important thing is to have someone you can trust in your chariot. It can be a Partner. A Dad or Mother. A Child. A Friend. A Dog. A Guru. It’s not important that they can give heavy gyan. But it’s important they should be anchored in goodness, in the real.
Apart from Celia long-distance, there were others in the car, helping Tarun drive with mind wide-open. A set of animal spirits that we loosely lovingly call Gosh-Bikosh.
Learning # 6: As the numbers of beings who can grasp an i-We-ness state increases, the level of harmony should intensify…
In an i-We-ness state our body-mind-spirits begin to act like synapses in the cosmic mind localized on earth. And so we can share the lives of others at very deep levels. This permits greater exchange of feeling, and also encourages life to move towards greater harmony.
That said, there is often a period of disharmony, where for awhile outmoded civilisational rules or inadequate species or planetary modes are replaced, before another state can emerge. We sometimes forget how many million lives were sacrificed when democracy was born, socialism was initially experimented with…
**********************************
As we have discussed before we have considered i-We-ness before in numerous other articles. While in this we have principally used the experience to reexamine our egoic boundaries, and expansive possibilities, let us briefly reflect on the numerous benefits we can harvest.
Benefits of i-We-ness
1. Empathy & Understanding: Since it is possible in states of i-We-ness to understand the unsaid, unspoken, unthought our ability to understand increases greatly. Yes we can do so with aura sensing and intuition, but here we can live what a sufferer is undergoing.
2. Organ Level Understanding: Diana a psychologist & Spiritual Seeker can at times link so deeply she can ‘pick up’ a person’s illness. We are healing a child with cancer. While the aura shows a much clearer picture, the kidneys are still disturbed.3. Warning & Combat. If one can tune into an enemy combatant’s thoughts and perspectives one can be forearmed. Anticipate a blow before it happens.
4. Caring & Healing. Obviously if one is in someone else’s body, the healing messages one can send can be greatly intensified. One can instantly calm the tense. Sometimes acting directly on the heart.5. Anticipating Mass Species Thought Shifts. Invaluable for social engineers or politicians one can access the mood of the people. So in a particular state many feel it is time for clarity not emotion. This knowledge is invaluable.
6. Triggering Mass Behavioural Shifts. In a vast i-We-ness state one can access not just 4-5 human minds but thousands. I do a thought-experiment, I tap into the 4 minds I accidentally accessed in the driving experience. Months have passed, but I still try. I stretch my foot and attempt to send this to the 4 people I temporarily brushed. Of the four people two stretch their legs minutes after I do so. A third thinks of a broken chappal. The fourth thinking something is clinging to his feet washes it.
Technically this means one can utilize the inner web to send impulses, but will it actually work on a mass scale? For what if I am linked to a thousand lives and find emotional reflux of a thousand minds entering my brain?
7. Greater Life & Harmony Flows. Here one steps beyond humans, go beyond trying to control others, instead one does the easier and more liberating task of being a synapse in the group mind. Yes, it can be done. But as I do it for a milli-second I feel like a bridge on which a thousand feet are marching.
8. Planetary Transformation. For long centuries mankind has explored the freedoms of an empowered ego, the individualized human that has rejected, social responsibility, cultural bonds, and environmental matrixes. As we explore i-We-ness the very way the earth’s consciousness is exercised can shift.
We have taken a small drive of less than a few kilometers, but the distance we have covered cannot be measured even in light years.
