Steve is away today.
I was looking for a certain quote on Ascension when I came across this discussion with Archangel Michael, My jaw kept dropping progessively more and more.
He talks about the differences between earlier terrestrial enlightenment theories and our more recent experiences (guru/teacher relationship vs entrainment), the confining impact on a teacher of the need to speak in ways people understand, giving the example of interdimensionality, enlightenment as the goal of life, etc.
When finances become available, I’ll be looking to employ a number of mediums to explore all types of questions of interest for which the Company of Heaven have the answers.
(Archangel Michael in a personal reading with Steve Beckow through Linda Dillon, Feb. 17, 2017.
Archangel Michael: Even as you have been watching, as if you were on a train, many of your thoughts and feelings passing by, understand that you have also been travelling dimensionally. (1)
Steve: In my sleep? Not in my daytime, have I?
AAM: When you have had that experience in reflection of watching your thoughts and feelings travelling by you like a train, you have been moving forward throughout dimensions. (2)
And part of that journey of discovery is you saying, “Now where is my natural Self living? I’m going to travel this train until I find him,” which of course you have.
There was not earlier, in the time of these sages, who are very sacred individuals, the same framework of understanding of inter-dimensionality or multidimensionality. It was more the sense that there was the self and then there was the universe and the bridge of enlightenment.
So it was not viewed as a complete unified field through which human beings and all realities had access. It was considered a somewhat arduous undertaking and it was not termed “shifting dimensions” because the science, the culture, the framework within which one operated, even in the higher states, shall we say, was not open and available.
That information would’ve been too confusing. Because, while the journey to enlightenment (yes, to enlightenment; “to wholeness” is what I was going to say) was an individual undertaking, there was also a knowingness that you had a sense of responsibility of bringing others along.
Now that sense of bringing others along wasn’t defined by dimensions. It was more a teacher/student, sage/novitiate relationship. So the framework was very different.
What you have now, is the knowingness that you are, for purposes of explanation, moving forward dimensionally, flowing back and forth, and that sense also of the flow throughout dimensions, that you can flow back and forth, that it was not restricted, that it wasn’t that you arrived at Heaven’s Gate and that was it.
This flow is new. Well, it is not new but it is new to human thinking and the sense that, yes, you are not looking for students or followers. What you are truly doing, yes, as pathfinders, you are showing the way, but you are also bringing along the collective in entrainment. (3)
Now the sages did not think of this, of their journey as a process of entrainment of bringing the entire collective along. You do. And when I say “you” I mean the current thinking and body of understanding and knowing in the lightworker community. So the fundamental premises have changed.

I saw people’s faces in a meditation as if they were on a train platform. But one face stood out and shot me a dart of profound peace.
