The Life experience in the Development periods

​​

1. Introduction

The Source of our existence manifests itself to us in a way that stimulates the development of our consciousness towards a level where we are able to make direct and conscious contact with this Source.

 

The way the Source manifests itself is through what I call Life experiences.

 

Life experiences vary across different development periods. During the Ego development period, for instance, Life experiences are primarily composed of emotions. In contrast, the Heart Life experiences are free of Ego-emotions.

 

In this chapter, I will discuss the Life experiences in the different development periods. As you will see below, it is possible to describe this experience quite precisely.

 

We are guided forward through Life experience after Life experience in the two evolutionary processes. The purpose is to develop our capacity for these Life experiences, which will continuously lead to new creation and manifestation, and in this way affect not only ourselves but the world we live in.

 

A full cycle of evolution consists of seven different Life experiences, one for each of the development periods. In the first three periods, the Life experience is divided into seven layers of consciousness. However, during the Heart period, something happens; there is one layer less. Moreover, in the last three development periods, there is one layer less for each development period (Figure 29).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Figure. 29. An overview of the layers in the various Life experiences.

The arrows show what we are in conscious contact with. It is also seen that the Heart period does not involve the layer for "the personal subconscious", and likewise that the subsequent development periods lack certain layers. In addition, the layers that are common between the different Life experiences are quite different in their content. Thus, the Life themes associated with the Layer "the collective subconscious" are different in the Ego and Heart periods, and the word 'conscious' means something different in the different periods.

 

For most people in our world, two Life experiences are accessible to them: one dominated by the Ego, consisting of seven layers, and one dominated by the Heart, consisting of six layers. In glimpses, we can even experience higher Life experiences (and higher planes of existence), which can be a wonderful experience, even if it is only a brief one.

 

There are significant differences between the Life experiences in terms of the number of layers they contain and the quality of the layers, and in the following I will describe this.

 

2. The Life experience before the Ego period

We begin with the 2 Life experiences that precedes the Ego period, the Root and Pre-ego Life experiences.

 

The Life experience in the Root period

Before the Ego Life experience, we have been through two previous development periods, the Root and Pre-Ego periods. During these periods, the Life experience is an experience consisting of 7 layers (Figure 30 and 31). In the Root period, we encounter the most ‘primitive’ instincts that we will experience in this development cycle (but instincts that are nevertheless essential for our survival). They are the survival instincts, combined with a primitive ability to sense pleasure and discomfort.

 

All the other layers are also part of the Life experience, but they function more like a primordial force that supplies the energy to the survival instinct. The superconscious sensory organs predominantly absorb Pre-Ego energies, which they use to activate the Life themes and stimulate growth.

 

Among other things, the active Life themes represent a primitive group-consciousness and interaction with other beings. Compared to the consciousness we currently possess one could also call it a group un-consciousness. The colours of the Life theme or sensory organ symbols (orange is Pre-Ego, yellow is Ego, and red is Root) illustrate this concept, and the symbols take on different colours depending on the energy they are activated by (Figure 30).

Figure 30. The Life experience during the Root development period

The 7 layers of the Root Life experience. Each of the layers are represented by instincts, Life themes, emotions, and sensory organs indicated by different symbols, the colour of which shows the type of energy that activates them. In this experience there is not a consciousness and a subconscious as we know it today, but the principle is still present.

 

The development structure (layer 6) is red and orange, indicating that it aims to develop our ‘conscious’ attitude towards life to a level where it is ready to accommodate the orange Pre-Ego energies.

 

The development structure of the Root period focus on the physical states, with the aim of developing our ability to interact with the physical dimension.

 

The Life experience in the Pre-Ego period

The next Life experience is associated with the Pre-Ego development period, as shown in Figure 31. This experience is also dominated by instincts, but now of a different colour, indicating a more developed form of instincts. Moreover, the personal development structure is red, orange, and yellow, because it will help us become ready for the Ego period (symbolized by the yellow colour).

 

Just as the development structure of the Ego period consists of ‘states of mind’, the development structure in the Pre-Ego period consists of ‘group-consciousness states’. Our (group) consciousness awakens in this period.

 

The creation of the pre-complexes

 

In the Pre-Ego period, the first seeds are created

for what in the next period,

will be known as the complexes.

These seeds are called pre-complexes.

 

The complexes play a crucial role in the development of our Ego-consciousness. The first seeds for the complexes are created during the Pre-Ego period, and they become fully active and developed in the Ego period. I call these seeds the pre-complexes, and in the Pre-Ego period, they predominantly represent a primitive experience of discomfort.

 

The change in Life theme energies that takes place during this period initiates the creation of the pre-complexes. The main Life theme energy is the yellow Ego energy (and the high pre-Ego orange energy). The Ego energy begins to activate Life themes and initiates the creation of the pre-complexes. This is the first sign that the individual is beginning to distinguish itself from the group.

 

The Pre-Ego Life experience

The Life experience in this period, as in other periods, contains energy from all the layers. They create a sense of pleasure and of pain, of awareness of other beings, and especially a strong group-consciousness. However, the awareness of your own individuality is only marginally developed at this stage.

 

You feel safe in the presence of others, and you identify with others in a group. But you also have a growing desire to discover that you are a unique being, and to investigate a growing feeling inside you telling you that you are different from the others.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Figure 31. The Life experience during the Pre-Ego development period 

The 7 layers of the Pre-Ego Life experience. Each of the layers is represented by instincts, Life themes, emotions, and sensory organs shown by different symbols, the colour of which shows the type of energy that activates them.

 

This happens because the personal superconscious contains new sensory organs that receive new energies. These energies activate new Life themes and start to create a primitive subconscious. The subconscious contains, among other things, the pre-complexes.

 

3. The Life experience in the Ego and Heart development period

One day I explored a feeling and its structure. I experienced quite literally that it was made up of many layers, here called ‘layers of consciousness’. These layers were basically intended to facilitate the will that comes from the 'Source'. 

 

The Ego Life experience is one of seven fundamentally different Life experiences, each built around different ‘layers of consciousness’. It represents the third Life experience and describes how you perceive life when you are dominated by a dualistic view of the world. This dualistic view gives rise to what we call the Ego identity.

 

An emotion consists of 5+2 layers of consciousness

As your current consciousness is predominantly under the influence of your Ego, you will experience the energies of your superconscious as emotions, since emotions is the language that Ego consciousness speaks and understands.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

​Figure 32. The Life experience during the Ego and Heart development periods

 

When you experience an emotion, you are exposed to superconscious energies dressed in a Life theme clothing, as well as a clothing consisting of things from your personal subconscious (e.g., your complexes). The journey from the original energy to the feeling has thus taken place through several different layers, and all these layers are part of what we call a feeling.

 

Here is a summary of the Ego Life experiences:

 

  • Emotions is the language of the Ego.

  • The Ego Life experience consists of 5+2 layers.

  • If one is dominated by the Ego, then the Source must take the form of emotions to manifest itself.

  • All layers in combination create what we call a feeling.

  • The Ego's insight into life stops at layer 5. The Ego, therefore, cannot accomplish a direct and conscious contact with the Life theme layer.

  • The full realization of the Ego itself leads to the disappearance of layer 5 from our Life experience.

  • When this happens, our Life experience will be dominated by the Heart Life experience.

  • The development of a strong and harmonious Ego consciousness prepares you for the next Life experience.

 

Here is a summary of the HeartLife experiences:

  • The Heart Life experience activates a new personal development structure.

  • One of the hallmarks of the Heart is a deep faith in life.

  • The Heart Life experience consists of 4+2 layers.

  • The layer of the personal subconscious is not part of the Heart Life experience.

  • In the Heart Life experience, one is painless, filled with self-confidence, and has an unwavering self-esteem.

  • If you are dominated by the Heart, you can achieve direct contact with energies from the superconscious (though not in such a way that one makes them conscious).

  • The Heart's limit for insight stops at layer 3. The Heart can therefore come into direct and conscious contact with some of the Life theme layers.

  • The full realization of the Heart causes layer 4 to disappear from our Life experience.

  • When this happens, our Life experience will be dominated by even higher parts of ourselves – and we will approach the place in our development where it is not necessary that we continue our development on earth.

4. The Life experience in the Divine states

The layers in a D-1 Life experience.

The first two layers are composed of the ‘Source’ and the ‘Cosmic Spark’. The third layer differs from the Heart Life experience, as it contains sensory organs that can absorb energies from even higher Divine dimensions. You establish direct contact with this personal superconscious layer when you can accommodate the D-1 Life experience. Initially, this contact is of course limited, but it gradually increases as you progress, and achieving this direct contact initiates the development of the next sensory organs.

The final layer is the collective consciousness, which allows you to absorb energies from the collective consciousness of humankind. In this state, referred to as the D-1 state, you are consciously positioned above the highest level of consciousness that humanity can ever attain. Consequently, it is not necessary for your own development to continue living your life on earth.

 

At this stage, the Life experience is characterized by conscious contact with beings that are significantly superior to all humans. There is a direct contact with the personal and collective superconscious, and thus with ‘spiritual’ levels, which are currently beyond our comprehension.

The Life experience during the Divine periods is very different from our current reality and it is beyond our comprehension. Therefore, I will not delve into it extensively in this book.

 

D-2 and D-3 Life experiences

In the D-2 Life experience, one layer is absent, the layer for the personal superconscious. This implies that your consciousness is in direct contact with the collective superconsciousness. In the D-3 Life experience, the layer of the collective consciousness has fulfilled its purpose, and the consciousness now unite with the Source itself. The journey of the consciousness is complete, and it has now returned to the Source, carrying gifts comprised of all the Life experiences that were part of its journey through the development periods.

5. Final words

It’s possible to describe the components of a Life experience. These components contribute to shaping your Life experience. Some are dominant while others are remain in the background. Together, they constitute your experience, and with practice, you can broaden your perception of it to discern the deeper layers of the way you experience life.

​​

Many individuals tend to have similar types of experiences. This means that they are subject to the same laws, which manifest themselves in the form of similar Life experience layers. People with the same kind of Life experience also have access to the same Life field, where they can interact with each other and moreover manifest their Life experiences. These individuals share the same ability to interact with life, but they are also subject to the same constraints.

 

Despite being similar, our Life experiences are not identical. Even though two people both experience life through the Ego Life experience, there are layers in this Life experience that are personal and therefore unique (the layers of the personal superconscious, personal consciousness, and personal subconsciousness).

 

This means that no two people have identical Life experiences, regardless of whether they are similar in their structure.

 

The Life experience is essential to all life, to all development, and to all change. Everything in our development is about developing our Life experience. Through it, we are in contact with the Life fields, and with each other through these fields. We are in contact with the Life themes and the structures of the collective layers.

 

Our entire evolutionary cycle can be seen as a giant ‘structure’ built up of Life laws, that together form the foundation for development. But these are laws and structures without life in themselves, except for the intention behind their existence.

 

The intention emanates from the Source itself and constitutes the energy foundation behind the entire structure (and the will behind our evolution) – but it is the Life experience that breathes life into it.
