I finally got it. Dimensions are not hierarchical.
It’s taken me all this time to get it.
I halfway got it in the conversation about individuals being at different places and that that’s not a bad thing or a cause for judgment.
Some people are in Grade One. We don’t disrespect them for that. Others are in a Ph.D. program. We don’t bow down to them for that.
Now I got it about the dimensions themselves rather than about an individual’s evolution.
I got it from reading the Divine Mother:
“No matter how often I speak… Sanat Kumara speaks… Michael speaks… we all speak… about the interdimensional reality, it would appear that still our messages are not fully integrated and surrendered to, embraced.
“People think of the dimensions as hierarchical, as if the 1st dimension which is the Birthing of Essence – think of it – the Birthing of Essence into form; the Idea coming forth – that that somehow is less important, less embraceable, less respected than the 7th of Christ Consciousness or the 12th of Grace. It is a circular dimensional realm.” (1)
So the First Dimension is like the birth of an idea. The Second Dimension is the helpless infant. The Third Dimension is like the young child. And the rest I have to wait and see.
If this is the case, why then would we look down on people who are passing through a lower dimension or look up unnecessarily or inappropriately (because I think there is an appropriate degree here) to those from higher dimensions?
Why did it take me so long to arrive at this realization?
Hierarchicalism seems to me now a deeply-dyed belief. I’m surprised at how much a part of my operational apparatus it was.
And it remained hidden from view in what Werner Erhard called the background of obviousness – too obvious to be noticed or commented on. It was just the way things were.
Instead of being equal beings at different places in the one, same journey, we were unequal beings at different levels of understanding, competence, promise, etc.
I think that all other discrimination and persecution flows from that initial acceptance of hierarchy vs. different places on the journey.
If I’m to reach a point of seeing everyone as One (unitive consciousness), the first thing I need to do is retire hierarchicalism.
