JON: I read your book and enjoyed it. A question. What information was given to you that has NOT been made available by other writers, in one form or another, time after time over the decades? The same old, tired, recycled concepts appear in book form every year apparently coming from spiritual sources. Same thing, different words, different channel.

DES: I have encountered almost none of the details before. Virtually none that I can think of. Two examples: ONE – At this point in our evolvement or unfoldment, we can relate to only (let us say) one thousand facts out of every million existing on any particular subject. So we put together at the subconscious level only what we can understand; namely a thousand facts out of every million. We all do the same. In this way we individually come as close as possible to comprehending ourself and the human condition and the universe.

But… because we are all unique, with quite different emotional needs, every person in the world embraces a slightly DIFFERENT configuration of facts, and therefore a DIFFERENT belief structure, and a DIFFERENT perspective on himself and his environment. This is so with every single aspect of life. We all occupy a different world.

As a result every person becomes less and less like every other, so that the process of uniqueness gains momentum – with every single second and emotion and thought and activity. Individualisation, in other words.

The natural law of individualisation is an aspect of human evolvement that is equally as important as spiritual evolvement (in which we progressively grow to become a more loving, complete, mature, pure, compassionate unfolded unit of consciousness).

This viewpoint has not been seen before. There is a time for everything. The time is now.

TWO – There is no complete male and no complete female. We are all “positioned” on a continuum. As such we all possess a unique mix of male and female energy. Every human being is a “one-off”. Interestingly, though, the species is exponentially becoming more sensitive, incorporating more nurturing female energy and less of the sometimes brutish “might is right” male energy. We are moving along the continuum. This will continue.

Again, I believe this interpretation has not been offered to us before. There are many, many premises in BEYOND, that can make the same claim. One includes a succinct explanation from Spirit of the end result of these principles: What will become of us! What is our individual and collective destiny!

My name is actually not “John”, but that will do.  A group of us in a writing course discussed the fact your book contains perspectives and carefully delineated details which apparently have never before appeared in the field of esoteric literature.  Many books have been written and many theories discussed, but nothing similar to yours.  Question.  Why should yours be true which makes many other authoritative studies untrue?

 

Des:  Okay.  My background is like a coin with two sides.  One side comprises an (electronics) engineer, and the other a neurotherapist.  Theology and philosophy are way over my head.  As mentioned in the book, I am the postman delivering mail that has little to do with me personally.  My role involves “channeling” information from people who have died, very much like taking dictation.

 

Why is “my” information different?  It was obtained in a different way.  Throughout many generations communication between physical and spirit was achieved by psychics or mediums.  I am one of them, and have been since early childhood.  In addition, however, I encountered a neurotherapeutic trance modality, recently developed by research psychologists in the US, as part of my clinical practice.  Alternative to mediumship, trance neurotherapy (IADC) can be used to bridge the gap between physical and spirit.

 

The two techniques had never been combined until, in consultation with Dr Botkin, the research scientist who produced IADC, I developed protocols and a delivery mechanism enabling IADC to be used by a person on him- or herself.  My lifelong mediumship plus neurotherapy made possible what neither technique alone could achieve.  The Littlest Crusade resulted, published in the US in 2012.

 

But why was completely different information, a different model or paradigm, abruptly and unexpectedly thrust into consciousness as a result?  Did it not come from the same source, namely spirit personalities who provided answers to questions?  Those people themselves provided the answer:

 

“Many books containing philosophical information channeled from spirit (eg. Neale Donald Walsch, Jane Roberts, Ruth Montgomery, Dr Ian Gordon) comprise broad and sometimes undeveloped models which rely in varying degree on theories and concepts more or less known to people with an interest in the subject.  A particular explanation is picked up by the mind of the medium, and put into writing.  However – with additional detail received, in this case from the neurotherapeutic modality, not only is the account from spirit fleshed out, but also a quite different and much more comprehensive description is available.  The list of books in question contains accounts that examine a particular reality.  With the availability of more detail, a totally different reality moves into focus and becomes available to explore, because more adequate analogies are present to unfold the descriptions.”

 

My dialogue with the Communicators had previously discussed the fact that nothing (but nothing) significant can be understood about the human condition unless one resorts to simplistic analogies;  furthermore analogies that invariably are lumped together into models, and models fused into infrastructures.  This process is made inescapable because only a tiny percentage of the total facts, relating to any particular subject, is knowable to human intellect.  That is all we are.  In putting it together into a package we create an understanding of what the world is, our place in it, and ourselves.  We are that package.  We are an analogy.

 

BEYOND discusses a completely different package than has been encountered in the past, because it draws on a very much larger data base.

JOSHUA:  You have apparently claimed you are free to ask any question, and a detailed answer will be forthcoming.  Wow.  This morning (Sunday) I saw a TV evangelist loudly proclaiming that “we are all children of Christ, we can turn our back on our Father, or we can embrace Him.  If we reject Him we automatically embrace Satan.  There is no third road.  One leads to the light of salvation, and all others to the darkness of eternal damnation.”  So much for skeptics, “free thinkers”, humanists, agnostics, atheists, Eastern religions, and all the rest.

 

Later in the day I read of suicide bombings in the Middle East, as one Muslim sect fought another, while both directed hatred to Israel and the West;  sectarian violence in Northern Ireland between Catholics and Protestants;  and unrest in India between Hindus and Buddhists.  Of course secular or political conflicts have always existed.  How can every one of these conflicting beliefs or causes be true?  Surely only one can be true.  I have never had this question answered.

 

DES:  Consciousness is a particular type of matrix, a medium which creates, and in which the process of creation also takes place.  It functions independent of time and space.  It creates mind, and mind in turn creates within itself.  A group of people with an emotionally-charged belief structure, a common and compelling need, is therefore able to develop and shape and hone that belief within the matrix of consciousness.  That is what consciousness is.  It creates a need and then responds to that need.  The process is called evolvement.  It is automatic and functions below the level of awareness.  There are no exceptions.

Question:  Conversations with students, group participants and clients over many years throw up questions which a large number of people probably mull over.  For instance, “different mediums and spiritual writers and so-called experts in the field come up with vastly differing accounts of what happens when we die.  It can’t all be true.  Perhaps it is all untrue.  At the very least, credibility is damaged.”

 

Des:  There are various reasons.  I have numbered three of them below.  Add these three together and you will possess a small number of brush strokes out of the infinite number making up the total “oil painting”.  (1)  Every person is actually a unique “universe”, which expands with every emotion he or she experiences, and every thought, and every activity, and every flight of fancy.  This is the case in physical and also in the after-death state.  You can make sense of only what you can relate to and what meets your needs, so you will invariably put your own interpretation on every explanation and event of a lifetime.  In the process you are fleshing out that creation which is your unique universe – second by second by second.  As it grows it becomes less and less like every other.  It is therefore hardly surprising that descriptions from the after-death state give different accounts, because each comes from a different subjective universe.  Bear in mind as well that life in that dimension takes place within a mental-emotional (subjective) environment, comprising spontaneity and the free flow of individual uniqueness.

 

(2)  I have personally seen a subject under discussion being shaped and tailored by the spirit teacher providing it, so it meets the level of understanding of a particular audience.  Later, the same description, by the same spirit personality, but to a more informed audience, led to more detail and sophistication being presented but also incorporating a different perspective.  One is not true while the other is untrue.

 

(3)  Again, in my experience with these teachers, an infrastructure of analogies was explained to me.  I was told that every subject discussed might contain perhaps 10,000 individual items of information existing as part of the natural order.  Of these the average human mind might be able to process 100 (let us say), such is the limitation of our ability to understand.  The 100 items come together in our mind into a model or paradigm or template, and represent everything we know about ourselves and the world. That’s what a human being is, on both the spiritual and physical planes.  We can’t be what we are not!  Therefore, below the level of conscious awareness,  I am able to relate to and receive only a tiny percentage of the total facts.  Because my mind is uniquely different from that of every other individual, it follows that a slightly different configuration of 100 facts would be received by me, from spirit, than would be received by any other person.

 

Putting together all the foregoing, it can be seen that communication from spirit to physical, as dictated by Mother Nature or consciousness or “God” or the natural order, has the effect of maintaining a very substantial and carefully calibrated divide between the two spheres.  There are reasons for this, which are discussed in BEYOND.
