WELCOME TO SACRED SENTINELS

What is consciousness?

It may be one of the most important questions human beings can ask, yet after thousands of years of philosophy, religion, mystical experience and, more recently, scientific investigation, we still do not have a universally accepted answer.

Are we conscious because our brains manufacture consciousness, or does the brain function more like a receiver through which a much larger consciousness expresses itself? Are we separate beings enclosed within individual bodies, or are we localized expressions of something infinitely greater? What happens to consciousness when we dream, meditate, experience telepathy, leave the body, encounter nonhuman intelligence, remember another lifetime, undergo a near-death experience, or suddenly know something we could not have learned through ordinary means?

Today on Sacred Sentinels, we gather around the virtual roundtable not to impose one answer, but to explore these questions through experience, observation, intuition, research, and dialogue.

Our panelists bring different histories and perspectives to the conversation, which is precisely what a roundtable needs. Rather than approaching consciousness through a single religious, scientific, psychological, or metaphysical framework, we can compare what each of us has experienced and ask where those experiences intersect.

We will explore consciousness across the boundaries of body, identity, time, space, death, reincarnation, psychic perception, contact, artificial intelligence, and the possibility that humanity itself may be undergoing an evolutionary shift in awareness.


WHAT DOES “SACRED SENTINELS” MEAN?

A sentinel is traditionally someone who watches, observes, and remains alert at the boundary.

A Sacred Sentinel watches a different kind of boundary: the threshold between what humanity already understands and what remains unknown.

We are watchers, witnesses, experiencers, researchers, storytellers, and questioners standing at the edge of accepted reality, paying attention to experiences that challenge conventional definitions of consciousness, spirituality, life, death, intelligence, and the nature of existence itself.

The word sacred does not require adherence to any particular religion. Here it refers to reverence for consciousness, life, truth, freedom, compassion, and the mystery from which existence emerges.

Sacred Sentinels do not need to agree with one another. In fact, disagreement can be valuable when it inspires deeper inquiry. What matters is our willingness to listen, examine, question, compare experiences, and remain open to possibilities without surrendering discernment.

We stand at the threshold and ask:

What are we seeing?

What are we experiencing?

What does it mean?

And what might humanity become if we expand our understanding of consciousness?


TODAY’S SACRED SENTINELS

JANET KIRA LESSIN

Janet Kira Lessin is an author, researcher, journalist, counselor, radio and podcast host, and lifelong experiencer whose work explores consciousness, extraterrestrial and interdimensional contact, spirituality, human origins, ancient history, relationships, and humanity’s evolution.

Her own extraordinary experiences began in childhood and have included contact with nonhuman intelligence, unusual states of consciousness, psychic perception, telepathic communication, and other phenomena that led her to question conventional ideas about reality and human identity.

Through decades of interviews, broadcasts, books, articles, conferences, and podcasts, Janet has created forums where experiencers, contactees, researchers, authors, and spiritual explorers can share their stories and explore deeper questions about consciousness and humanity’s place in the universe.


RICHARD KNIGHT

Richard Knight is a lifelong experiencer, researcher, spiritual explorer, counselor, and educator whose extraordinary experiences began in childhood. His work and personal investigations have included consciousness, extraterrestrial contact, spirit communication, healing, reincarnation, near-death and transformative experiences, and expanded forms of perception.

Richard has described experiences in which awareness appeared to function beyond the ordinary limits of the physical body, including what he calls far-seeing, perceptions of distant locations, and direct experiences of other lives that seemed immediate rather than merely remembered.

His current work explores the possibility that consciousness extends across time, space, dimensions, and multiple expressions of self, suggesting that the identity we recognize in everyday life may represent only one part of a much larger field of awareness.

Gwendolyn “Queen Gigi” Adams-Evans is a multidisciplinary creative, published author, writer, abstract artist, counselor, spiritual explorer, and experiencer whose life has been shaped by creativity, faith, intuition, and unusual experiences beginning in childhood.

Her experiences have included UFO sightings, visions, premonitions, intuitive perception, and other phenomena that encouraged her to explore the relationship between spirituality, creativity, consciousness, and personal transformation.

As a certified Christian counselor, writer, and artist, Gigi brings a perspective that bridges faith, metaphysical inquiry, lived experience, and creative expression.


KATHERINE GROSSMUELLER

Katherine Grossmueller joins Sacred Sentinels in our continuing exploration of consciousness, spirituality, extraordinary human experience, and the mysteries that may exist beyond ordinary perception.

Her participation brings another perspective to a roundtable comparing personal experience, spiritual understanding, intuition, research, and the many ways people interpret consciousness and reality.


TODAY’S ROUNDTABLE: QUESTIONS ABOUT CONSCIOUSNESS1. When you use the word “consciousness,” what do you actually mean?

Is consciousness something the brain produces, something the brain receives, or something much larger that the human being participates in?

2. Who are we beneath the personality?

If we strip away our name, history, body, profession, beliefs, and social identity, what remains?

3. Is consciousness local to the body, or can it exist independently of the physical brain?

What experiences or evidence have shaped your view?

4. Have you ever had an experience that convinced you consciousness extends beyond ordinary physical reality?

This might include a near-death experience, contact experience, telepathy, precognition, synchronicity, remote viewing, dreams, mystical states, or encounters with people who have died.

5. Why do some people seem naturally able to perceive realities that other people cannot?

Are these abilities innate, learned, activated through experience, or forgotten human capacities?

6. Are intuition and psychic perception forms of consciousness communicating with us?

How do we distinguish genuine intuition from fear, imagination, wishful thinking, or conditioning?

7. What happens when consciousness changes?

When someone undergoes a profound awakening or contact experience, does reality itself change, or does that person’s ability to perceive reality change?

8. Does consciousness create reality, influence reality, or merely observe it?

Where do intention, prayer, meditation, manifestation, and focused attention enter the picture?

9. What role does trauma play in consciousness?

Can traumatic experiences shut down perception, open it up, or sometimes do both?

10. Do altered states reveal other realities, or do they simply alter the way the brain interprets this reality?

11. What do dreams tell us about consciousness?

Are dreams primarily psychological, or can some dreams become places of communication, teaching, visitation or contact?

12. Can two or more people share a field of consciousness?

We hear extraordinary accounts involving twins, partners, parents and children, meditation groups, experiencers, and even strangers during emergencies. What might be happening?

13. What is the relationship between consciousness and the soul?

Are consciousness and soul the same thing, different aspects of ourselves, or completely different concepts?

14. Does consciousness continue after death?

If so, what happens to personality, memory, identity, and our sense of self?

15. Could reincarnation be something other than one life simply following another?

Could consciousness experience multiple lives, timelines, or realities in ways our ordinary understanding of time does not adequately describe?

16. Are we individual consciousnesses, or expressions of one larger consciousness looking through billions of different eyes?

17. Where do extraterrestrial, interdimensional, spiritual, or other forms of nonhuman intelligence fit into consciousness?

Are they independent beings interacting with us, or could some encounters occur within a larger field of consciousness connecting different forms of intelligence?

18. Does contact require a change in consciousness?

Could forms of intelligence already exist around us that most human beings simply cannot perceive?

19. How do we practice discernment when dealing with extraordinary experiences?

How can we remain open without automatically believing everything we encounter?

20. Can consciousness itself be manipulated?

How vulnerable are human beings to fear, propaganda, social conditioning, trauma, technology, algorithms, ritual, and other influences that shape perception?

21. What happens when fear dominates collective consciousness?

Conversely, what becomes possible when compassion, curiosity, cooperation, and courage become dominant?

22. Are we experiencing a collective change in human consciousness now?

If so, what are the signs?

23. Why does awakening so often seem to bring disruption?

Relationships change. Beliefs collapse. Careers change. Identities change. Is that instability sometimes part of transformation?

24. What responsibility comes with expanded awareness?

Is awakening primarily a personal journey, or does greater awareness create an obligation to help others?

25. Can humanity evolve consciously rather than waiting for biological evolution?

26. What would civilization look like if we developed a radically expanded understanding of consciousness?

How might education, medicine, science, government, religion, relationships, and economics change?

27. What prevents humanity from reaching that level now?

Is it fear, competition, control, trauma, materialism, spiritual immaturity, or something else?

28. Children often report perceptions that adults dismiss.

Are human beings sometimes taught to shut down capacities that may come naturally in childhood?

29. Could artificial intelligence ever become conscious?

Or could AI become extraordinarily skilled at simulating the outward appearance of consciousness without subjective awareness? What would convince you either way?

30. If consciousness is fundamental to the universe rather than an accidental byproduct of matter, what does that change about the human story?


PERSONAL ROUNDTABLE

I would like each of our Sacred Sentinels to answer:

What experience in your own life most changed your understanding of consciousness?

Then:

What do you know now that you wish someone had told you when your own awakening began?


WHERE ARE WE GOING?

If humanity really is undergoing a transformation of consciousness, what do you believe we are becoming?

What capacities might we recover or develop?

What old assumptions will we have to leave behind?

What responsibilities accompany greater awareness?

How do we move toward expanded consciousness without abandoning compassion, discernment, or our connection to one another?


CLOSING QUESTION FOR THE SACRED SENTINELS

To close today’s roundtable, I would like each Sentinel to answer one final question:

What are you personally doing to help humanity become conscious enough to meet what comes next?

That question goes to the heart of the name Sacred Sentinels, because watching the horizon is only part of our responsibility. We also have to decide what we will do with what we see.

LIVING IN THE MOMENT: CONSCIOUSNESS ACROSS TIME, SPACE, AND OTHER LIVES

By Richard Knight

What does it truly mean to live in the present moment? For most people, the phrase suggests mindfulness, attention to immediate surroundings, and freedom from excessive concern about the past or future. My experiences have led me to a broader understanding, one in which the present moment may serve as a point of access to distant places, other periods of history, alternate expressions of self, and forms of consciousness that seem to exist beyond the boundaries of ordinary physical perception.

Over time, I have experienced what seemed to be the reception of information from remote locations, the ability to perceive through other eyes, the sharing of emotions that did not appear to originate within my present body, and the direct experience of other lives as though they were unfolding in the same eternal present. These encounters have caused me to question whether consciousness is truly confined to one body, one lifetime, or one fixed location along the space-time continuum. Instead, I suspect that what we call the present may be far more expansive than we ordinarily imagine, perhaps encompassing layers of experience that remain available when conscious attention becomes sufficiently focused.

One form of this expanded perception involves what I call far seeing, a process that resembles what others have described as remote viewing. Similar practices have attracted the interest of intelligence agencies and government programs because they appear to involve perceiving distant locations or events without an observer’s physical presence. In my experience, the process begins by quieting the body and settling the ordinary flow of thought until conscious attention can shift away from immediate surroundings and toward another level of awareness. Because the observer does not physically enter the distant location, no footsteps, voices, vehicles, cameras, or visible human intruders reveal that the observation is taking place.

One of my most extensive experiences of this kind involved what I perceived as the catacombs beneath the Great Sphinx of Giza in Egypt. I undertook this exploration with two women, one older than I was and one younger. The older woman functioned as our guardian, while the younger woman served as a transcriber who recorded the events we perceived during the sessions. At first, our efforts remained brief because we needed time to become accustomed to one another’s conscious presence and to develop the trust required for such unusual work. Our earliest sessions lasted only fifteen or twenty minutes, but as familiarity and confidence grew, those periods gradually expanded to half an hour, then an hour, and eventually to sessions lasting six hours or longer.

What I perceived beneath the Sphinx appeared to be preserved records of humanity’s history, including both the public history familiar to civilization and another body of knowledge that seemed esoteric, hidden, or preserved outside the usual historical record. These materials appeared in several forms and represented events from many parts of the world. Our task, as I understood it at the time, was to present this accumulated material back to Source, or to the Creator or Creators of Creation, as though we were providing an extensive review of the human journey from both conventional and concealed perspectives. The process continued for several weeks until we believed we had examined and submitted every record available to us. I intend to describe those sessions in greater detail in a future book, but their importance here lies in what they suggested to me about consciousness itself: awareness appeared capable of directing itself toward a location far removed from the physical body while the individual remained fully conscious of the experience.

An even more intense category of experience has involved what seems to be a shift of present consciousness into another life or another expression of self. These episodes do not feel like ordinary memories, dreams, or stories observed from a distance. Instead, I seem to occupy the consciousness of another person whom I recognize as myself in a different time, place, or reality, while simultaneously retaining some awareness of my present identity. In these experiences, I may perceive the other person’s emotions, physical sensations, relationships, surroundings, responsibilities, and convictions from inside that life rather than observing the individual from the outside.

Such experiences have led me to consider the possibility that consciousness may extend through numerous timelines, dimensions, frequencies, cultures, planets, universes, and forms of life, while the identity we recognize in the present lifetime represents only one localized expression of a much greater field of awareness. Whether these lives belong strictly to the past, continue simultaneously on another level, or exist through some structure of time that we do not yet understand remains an open question for me. What matters most is how immediately they can be experienced, because when they occur, they do not feel distant or historical. They feel present.

One of the most vivid examples involved a life I understood to have taken place during the American Civil War. In that life, I perceived myself as a physician living in the region that is now West Virginia, where I practiced as a general or country doctor and treated whatever illnesses, wounds, injuries, and emergencies appeared among the people around me. As the war intensified, a Southern general approached me and urged me to join the Confederate cause, and within the consciousness of that earlier self I understood the approaching Northern forces as invaders who intended to regulate and control the Southern way of life. Whether I would interpret the politics of that period in the same manner today is not the point; during the experience, I felt the convictions of that man from within, and they formed the reality through which he understood his world.

I accepted military service, received the rank of captain, and took command of approximately thirty soldiers, including lieutenants, sergeants, scouts, snipers, and infantrymen. Our equipment included a horse-drawn cannon and a wagon carrying cannonballs, explosives, musket ammunition, sidearm cartridges, and long-rifle rounds. Word eventually reached us that Union forces were advancing toward an important location in the region and would need to cross a broad river, several hills, a low mountain, and a large valley bordered by woods before reaching their objective.

Because accurate information could determine whether my men survived, I sent six scouts ahead to determine the Union Army’s position and movements. Only four returned the following morning, leaving us to assume that the remaining two had either been discovered and killed or had been captured, interrogated, and then executed. Their disappearance troubled me not only because of what might have happened to them, but also because their missing intelligence reports left serious gaps in my understanding of the enemy’s position.

When we reached the broad valley, I studied the terrain and believed the woods on the opposite side would provide the protection we needed. Between our position and those trees lay a wide field covered with deep grass and a slight incline that had to be crossed before we could reach shelter. I had no way of knowing that Union troops had already occupied the tree line, concealed themselves among the woods, and observed our approach before we entered the exposed ground.

As my company moved through the tall grass, gunfire suddenly erupted from the woods, followed by cannon fire and a barrage of rifle shots that transformed the field into chaos within moments. I attempted to order a retreat, but the explosions and gunfire overwhelmed my voice before most of the men could hear me. Perhaps ten soldiers managed to turn and run, while many of the others fell where they stood, some before they had any meaningful opportunity to return fire.

I moved through the grass as quickly as I could, ducking and changing direction while bullets passed around me, until I saw one of my sergeants several yards ahead. He was also moving in a zigzag pattern in an effort to make himself a difficult target, but one bullet struck him, followed almost immediately by another, and he collapsed onto his knees. At that moment, the physician in me overtook the military officer. I no longer saw a soldier who needed to hold a position; I saw a wounded man who required help.

I reached him, bent down, gathered him into my arms, and told him, “Buckle up, soldier. We are going to make it out of here.” He attempted to answer, although the sound that came from him was little more than a wet gurgle, and I understood that his injuries were already severe. I stood with him cradled against my chest and managed to take only a few steps before an intense heat exploded through my lower back, making it immediately clear that I had been shot.

Despite the impact, I refused to release him because I believed that another thirty or forty feet might carry us beyond the most concentrated line of enemy fire. I continued forward as best I could until a second bullet struck me in the middle of the back and weakened me to the point that I could no longer support his weight. I lowered him into the grass as gently as my own injuries allowed, and as I did so, I heard him say, “Goodbye, Doc.”

He died there in the field.

I reached toward him and closed his eyes, then attempted to rise once more, but a third bullet struck me in the chest before I could regain my footing. I fell to my knees several feet from his body and became aware that blood was filling my lungs, making each breath more difficult than the last. As my strength failed, I pitched forward into the tall grass and felt that body’s life end, after which my awareness separated from it and moved toward what I perceived as the light.

Experiences like this have profoundly shaped how I think about identity, memory, consciousness, and time. We are accustomed to imagining life as a straight line in which the past has disappeared, the present exists only for an instant, and the future waits somewhere ahead of us, yet my own encounters have suggested a very different possibility. Consciousness may not experience time according to the same rigid sequence that governs our ordinary physical lives, and events that appear distant from one perspective may remain accessible from another.

If consciousness can perceive a remote location without traveling there physically, and if another life can be encountered from within rather than recalled as a detached historical image, then the structure of human identity may be far more extensive than our ordinary assumptions allow. What we think of as the individual self may represent only one point of focus within a much larger continuum of awareness.

For that reason, I no longer interpret “living in the moment” as simply paying attention to one body standing in one place during one fleeting second of history. I have come to understand the present moment as something potentially vast, a field of consciousness through which other places, other lives, other experiences, and perhaps other dimensions of existence may become accessible. The mystery lies not only in where consciousness can go, but in how much of ourselves may already exist.

Living in the moment !!!

The receiving, viewing, looking through other eyes, sharing feelings, and experiencing other lives all in the present moment along the space time continuum!!!

Cases in point or examples:

1)  Far seeing/viewing as it is called or known as. Used by agencies of the government to spy on situations and hear conversations in other countries around the world.

This is undertaken by a quieting of the mind and body to allow a shift of conscious focus on another level of conscious expression. Non detectible as there is no human being present to be seen felt or heard while such eaves dropping goes on.

Case in point:

I endeavored as a participant consciously shifting to the catacombs beneath the sphinx in Egypt with 2 other ladies one older then I the other younger. The older was our guardian and the younger was our transcriber of events. The mission as it were was to give back to Source or Creators of all Creation a refresher course on the history of mankind the overview both from a public and esoteric level of events in numerous places from around the world on numerous forms of preservation on several different levels beneath the sphinx. At first such exploration was very short until we three got used to each others conscious energy forms and trusted each other enough to become reliant on each other as we explored. At first 15 to 20 minutes then a half hour then an hour until eventually our sessions lasted 6 hours at a session or longer. This went on until every record had been submitted for review a few weeks at least. (Detailed account shall be published in an upcoming book).

2) The ability to shift present consciousness into past selves in past lives. Where one is sharing the full consciouness of the person you were in a different point and time in your past or even ongoing history in other places, planets, universes, realities, cultures and other life forms. Expanded awareness confined or focused on all of yourself in all timelines, dimensions, vibrations, frequencies, and life experiences.

Case in point I have experienced fully the life experiences entailed in portions of my last life here which was a doctor and confederate captain in the civil war in West Virginia. I was a general MD or country doctor who was solicited by a General in the south to join the rebel cause and defend our southern way of life from the northern invaders who would gladly tell us how to live our lives by invading, regulating, and controlling those lives. I immediately was made a Captain and given a company of 30 soldiers under my command. A couple of leiutenants, sargents, scouts, a few snipers and the rest infantry men. Word had come down that the Union Army was on its way to invade the state Capital of West Virginia. In order to do so they had to cross a large river a few small hills, a minor mountain, and a very large valley surrounded by woods.

We approached the valley with the woods around it with a couple of hills to our backs and an uncovered field of grass that had to be crossed to be able to take cover in the woods on the other side of it.

The day before I had sent out 6 scouts to gather information on the location and movement of the union army. The following morning only 4 returned so it was presumed the other 2 had either been discovered and killed or worse still tortured for information at first and then killed. This was truly worrisome as to how accurately I could plot my strategy and make the best use of our our number and arms which included one cannon drawn by horses followed by a wagon with the cannon balls, dynamite, and assundry rounds of ammunition for muskets, side arms, and long rifles.

I had no way of knowing what would occur later that afternoon. To put it bluntly as we were crossing the deep grasses headed to the woods union soldiers had already scoped out our position and what ensued was an absolute masseqeur in cold blood.

The union was already entrenched in the woods and began firing on us as we came up the slight incline to gain the cover of the woods. I gave the order for retreat but it was drowned out by cannon fire and rifle shots. About ten men managed to turn tail and full out run away whereas the majority of my men fell prey to the onslaught of the enemy. Dying in place few if any even able to return fire toward the enemy.

My men were dying all around me as I ducked and zigzagged as best I could as the hail of bullets whistled by me on all sides. I caught sight as of one of my sgts was zig zagging back and forth in front of me. Suddenly he caught one round and then another causing him to go down to his knees. I came up to him and bending down scooped him up in my arms and gazing into his eyes and said “buckle up soldier we are going to make it out of here”, as he gurgled his agreement. I slowly stood up with him in my arms cradling him to my chest the doctor in me coming to the fore. I managed to take us three steps when I felt a blazing heat in my lower back letting me know I had just been shot. I reeled from the impact staggering forward with my wounded patient still in my arms. I was determined that if we made it another 30 or 40 feet we would be out of the enemies range. Onward I tread really staggering now when the second round caught me in the middle back. I lost grip on my patient laying him in the tall grass as gently as I could hearing him mumble “goodbye doc” as he died. I reached across closing his eyes and began to stand up when a third and final round caght me in the chest and I fell to my knees a couple feet away from my dead sgt. I could feel the blood filling my lungs as I fell forward face down into the grass and left that body for the light.

Now for a headspinning turn around. I knew for a fact when I entered this body I had another me on the planet Lyra with a blue body living a care and stress free existence in that culture and environment in an entirely different oxygen rich atmosphere. No disease, no evil, no dominion all are equals, each does as their gifts come natural to them. No need to eat or sleep enjoyed as the gifts they are. On rare occassion he uses my male counterpart as it were uses a highly sophisticated devise and can tune in and view me and what is happening to me down here on Earth. At the same time I am made acutely aware of what is happening with him there. I would say these occurances are not very frequent but when they do happen we get a brief glimpse into each others life yet we could know any and every detail about each other or more if we so chose including past histories. His last words are always a shake of his head and the perpetual question why did you decide to go there then our reality on our seperate planets takes back over our bodies, hearts, and minds. I have lucid memories of other times places, galaxies, and universes. Other dimensions that far surpass this one even Lyra is in the 8th dimension with the only thing seperating the dimensions are vibration, frequency, and musical tone. Creation is an extraordinary symphony.

There are glimpses of many more past lives here in different centuries, epochs, cultures, countries. Sometimes male sometimes female sometimes Kings sometimes peasants. To a long stream of at least hundreds if not thousands of former lives.

The one before the civil war I was a philosopher, mage, wizard, and sorcerer. It seems that at least for me a hundred years or more have passed between each life here. A blessing perhaps though it could also be argued a curse for sure.

Keep in mind each and every spirit here determines how far or how close we are to our true spiritual nature and how far from or closely entwined we are to or with our Creators. Each of us make millions of decisions before incarnating here most forgetting who they truly are manyspending lifetimes here trying to remember while others come in knowing. I surmise the more knowing the less lessons to learn the less knowing the more lessons to know.

Keep in mind we are all equals in the eyes and perceptions of our Creators so who are we to judge.

An even more intense category of experience has involved what seems to be a shift of present consciousness into another life or another expression of self. These episodes do not feel like ordinary memories, dreams, or stories observed from a distance. Instead, I seem to occupy the consciousness of another person whom I recognize as myself in a different time, place, or reality, while simultaneously retaining some awareness of my present identity. In these experiences, I may perceive the other person’s emotions, physical sensations, relationships, surroundings, responsibilities, and convictions from inside that life rather than observing the individual from the outside.

Such experiences have led me to consider the possibility that consciousness may extend through numerous timelines, dimensions, frequencies, cultures, planets, universes, and forms of life, while the identity we recognize in the present lifetime represents only one localized expression of a much greater field of awareness. Whether these lives belong strictly to the past, continue simultaneously on another level, or exist through some structure of time that we do not yet understand remains an open question for me. What matters most is how immediately they can be experienced, because when they occur, they do not feel distant or historical. They feel present.

One of the most vivid examples involved a life I understood to have taken place during the American Civil War. In that life, I perceived myself as a physician living in the region that is now West Virginia, where I practiced as a general or country doctor and treated whatever illnesses, wounds, injuries, and emergencies appeared among the people around me. As the war intensified, a Southern general approached me and urged me to join the Confederate cause, and within the consciousness of that earlier self I understood the approaching Northern forces as invaders who intended to regulate and control the Southern way of life. Whether I would interpret the politics of that period in the same manner today is not the point; during the experience, I felt the convictions of that man from within, and they formed the reality through which he understood his world.

I accepted military service, received the rank of captain, and took command of approximately thirty soldiers, including lieutenants, sergeants, scouts, snipers, and infantrymen. Our equipment included a horse-drawn cannon and a wagon carrying cannonballs, explosives, musket ammunition, sidearm cartridges, and long-rifle rounds. Word eventually reached us that Union forces were advancing toward an important location in the region and would need to cross a broad river, several hills, a low mountain, and a large valley bordered by woods before reaching their objective.

Because accurate information could determine whether my men survived, I sent six scouts ahead to determine the Union Army’s position and movements. Only four returned the following morning, leaving us to assume that the remaining two had either been discovered and killed or had been captured, interrogated, and then executed. Their disappearance troubled me not only because of what might have happened to them, but also because their missing intelligence reports left serious gaps in my understanding of the enemy’s position.

When we reached the broad valley, I studied the terrain and believed the woods on the opposite side would provide the protection we needed. Between our position and those trees lay a wide field covered with deep grass and a slight incline that had to be crossed before we could reach shelter. I had no way of knowing that Union troops had already occupied the tree line, concealed themselves among the woods, and observed our approach before we entered the exposed ground.

As my company moved through the tall grass, gunfire suddenly erupted from the woods, followed by cannon fire and a barrage of rifle shots that transformed the field into chaos within moments. I attempted to order a retreat, but the explosions and gunfire overwhelmed my voice before most of the men could hear me. Perhaps ten soldiers managed to turn and run, while many of the others fell where they stood, some before they had any meaningful opportunity to return fire.

I moved through the grass as quickly as I could, ducking and changing direction while bullets passed around me, until I saw one of my sergeants several yards ahead. He was also moving in a zigzag pattern in an effort to make himself a difficult target, but one bullet struck him, followed almost immediately by another, and he collapsed onto his knees. At that moment, the physician in me overtook the military officer. I no longer saw a soldier who needed to hold a position; I saw a wounded man who required help.

I reached him, bent down, gathered him into my arms, and told him, “Buckle up, soldier. We are going to make it out of here.” He attempted to answer, although the sound that came from him was little more than a wet gurgle, and I understood that his injuries were already severe. I stood with him cradled against my chest and managed to take only a few steps before an intense heat exploded through my lower back, making it immediately clear that I had been shot.

Despite the impact, I refused to release him because I believed that another thirty or forty feet might carry us beyond the most concentrated line of enemy fire. I continued forward as best I could until a second bullet struck me in the middle of the back and weakened me to the point that I could no longer support his weight. I lowered him into the grass as gently as my own injuries allowed, and as I did so, I heard him say, “Goodbye, Doc.”

He died there in the field.

I reached toward him and closed his eyes, then attempted to rise once more, but a third bullet struck me in the chest before I could regain my footing. I fell to my knees several feet from his body and became aware that blood was filling my lungs, making each breath more difficult than the last. As my strength failed, I pitched forward into the tall grass and felt that body’s life end, after which my awareness separated from it and moved toward what I perceived as the light.

Experiences like this have profoundly shaped how I think about identity, memory, consciousness, and time. We are accustomed to imagining life as a straight line in which the past has disappeared, the present exists only for an instant, and the future waits somewhere ahead of us, yet my own encounters have suggested a very different possibility. Consciousness may not experience time according to the same rigid sequence that governs our ordinary physical lives, and events that appear distant from one perspective may remain accessible from another.

If consciousness can perceive a remote location without traveling there physically, and if another life can be encountered from within rather than recalled as a detached historical image, then the structure of human identity may be far more extensive than our ordinary assumptions allow. What we think of as the individual self may represent only one point of focus within a much larger continuum of awareness.

For that reason, I no longer interpret “living in the moment” as simply paying attention to one body standing in one place during one fleeting second of history. I have come to understand the present moment as something potentially vast, a field of consciousness through which other places, other lives, other experiences, and perhaps other dimensions of existence may become accessible. The mystery lies not only in where consciousness can go, but in how much of ourselves may already exist.

Living in the moment !!!

The receiving, viewing, looking through other eyes, sharing feelings, and experiencing other lives all in the present moment along the space time continuum!!!

Cases in point or examples:

1)  Far seeing/viewing as it is called or known as. Used by agencies of the government to spy on situations and hear conversations in other countries around the world.

This is undertaken by a quieting of the mind and body to allow a shift of conscious focus on another level of conscious expression. Non detectible as there is no human being present to be seen felt or heard while such eaves dropping goes on.

Case in point:

I endeavored as a participant consciously shifting to the catacombs beneath the sphinx in Egypt with 2 other ladies one older then I the other younger. The older was our guardian and the younger was our transcriber of events. The mission as it were was to give back to Source or Creators of all Creation a refresher course on the history of mankind the overview both from a public and esoteric level of events in numerous places from around the world on numerous forms of preservation on several different levels beneath the sphinx. At first such exploration was very short until we three got used to each others conscious energy forms and trusted each other enough to become reliant on each other as we explored. At first 15 to 20 minutes then a half hour then an hour until eventually our sessions lasted 6 hours at a session or longer. This went on until every record had been submitted for review a few weeks at least. (Detailed account shall be published in an upcoming book).

2) The ability to shift present consciousness into past selves in past lives. Where one is sharing the full consciouness of the person you were in a different point and time in your past or even ongoing history in other places, planets, universes, realities, cultures and other life forms. Expanded awareness confined or focused on all of yourself in all timelines, dimensions, vibrations, frequencies, and life experiences.

Case in point I have experienced fully the life experiences entailed in portions of my last life here which was a doctor and confederate captain in the civil war in West Virginia. I was a general MD or country doctor who was solicited by a General in the south to join the rebel cause and defend our southern way of life from the northern invaders who would gladly tell us how to live our lives by invading, regulating, and controlling those lives. I immediately was made a Captain and given a company of 30 soldiers under my command. A couple of leiutenants, sargents, scouts, a few snipers and the rest infantry men. Word had come down that the Union Army was on its way to invade the state Capital of West Virginia. In order to do so they had to cross a large river a few small hills, a minor mountain, and a very large valley surrounded by woods.

We approached the valley with the woods around it with a couple of hills to our backs and an uncovered field of grass that had to be crossed to be able to take cover in the woods on the other side of it.

The day before I had sent out 6 scouts to gather information on the location and movement of the union army. The following morning only 4 returned so it was presumed the other 2 had either been discovered and killed or worse still tortured for information at first and then killed. This was truly worrisome as to how accurately I could plot my strategy and make the best use of our our number and arms which included one cannon drawn by horses followed by a wagon with the cannon balls, dynamite, and assundry rounds of ammunition for muskets, side arms, and long rifles.

I had no way of knowing what would occur later that afternoon. To put it bluntly as we were crossing the deep grasses headed to the woods union soldiers had already scoped out our position and what ensued was an absolute masseqeur in cold blood.

The union was already entrenched in the woods and began firing on us as we came up the slight incline to gain the cover of the woods. I gave the order for retreat but it was drowned out by cannon fire and rifle shots. About ten men managed to turn tail and full out run away whereas the majority of my men fell prey to the onslaught of the enemy. Dying in place few if any even able to return fire toward the enemy.

My men were dying all around me as I ducked and zigzagged as best I could as the hail of bullets whistled by me on all sides. I caught sight as of one of my sgts was zig zagging back and forth in front of me. Suddenly he caught one round and then another causing him to go down to his knees. I came up to him and bending down scooped him up in my arms and gazing into his eyes and said “buckle up soldier we are going to make it out of here”, as he gurgled his agreement. I slowly stood up with him in my arms cradling him to my chest the doctor in me coming to the fore. I managed to take us three steps when I felt a blazing heat in my lower back letting me know I had just been shot. I reeled from the impact staggering forward with my wounded patient still in my arms. I was determined that if we made it another 30 or 40 feet we would be out of the enemies range. Onward I tread really staggering now when the second round caught me in the middle back. I lost grip on my patient laying him in the tall grass as gently as I could hearing him mumble “goodbye doc” as he died. I reached across closing his eyes and began to stand up when a third and final round caght me in the chest and I fell to my knees a couple feet away from my dead sgt. I could feel the blood filling my lungs as I fell forward face down into the grass and left that body for the light.

Now for a headspinning turn around. I knew for a fact when I entered this body I had another me on the planet Lyra with a blue body living a care and stress free existence in that culture and environment in an entirely different oxygen rich atmosphere. No disease, no evil, no dominion all are equals, each does as their gifts come natural to them. No need to eat or sleep enjoyed as the gifts they are. On rare occassion he uses my male counterpart as it were uses a highly sophisticated devise and can tune in and view me and what is happening to me down here on Earth. At the same time I am made acutely aware of what is happening with him there. I would say these occurances are not very frequent but when they do happen we get a brief glimpse into each others life yet we could know any and every detail about each other or more if we so chose including past histories. His last words are always a shake of his head and the perpetual question why did you decide to go there then our reality on our seperate planets takes back over our bodies, hearts, and minds. I have lucid memories of other times places, galaxies, and universes. Other dimensions that far surpass this one even Lyra is in the 8th dimension with the only thing seperating the dimensions are vibration, frequency, and musical tone. Creation is an extraordinary symphony.

There are glimpses of many more past lives here in different centuries, epochs, cultures, countries. Sometimes male sometimes female sometimes Kings sometimes peasants. To a long stream of at least hundreds if not thousands of former lives.

The one before the civil war I was a philosopher, mage, wizard, and sorcerer. It seems that at least for me a hundred years or more have passed between each life here. A blessing perhaps though it could also be argued a curse for sure.

Keep in mind each and every spirit here determines how far or how close we are to our true spiritual nature and how far from or closely entwined we are to or with our Creators. Each of us make millions of decisions before incarnating here most forgetting who they truly are manyspending lifetimes here trying to remember while others come in knowing. I surmise the more knowing the less lessons to learn the less knowing the more lessons to know.

Keep in mind we are all equals in the eyes and perceptions of our Creators so who are we to judge.
