No I have not read “The Wisdom of Florence Scovel Shinn”

“Let’s say that all of the data in the universe is represented by 1000 GB.”
[LOL… P&L… I have an external hard drive that is 500 GB… So, it’s kind of hard for me to visualize the Universe being represented as 1000 GB, lol… Personally, I would have gone for 1000 TG… lol… P&L… Who truly can know the mind of a man, lest himself? Who can dream another’s dream? Who can truly say, I see what you see, I feel what you feel; I Know What You Know… I Am You, and You Are Me? There are those who talk, and there are those who walk… Those who talk, yet never walk, and those who walk, yet never talk, IS the Universal Law of Polarity… The extreme opposites of All that there is… Who Knew… I step to anyone… Yet I say this… The difference, the “Only” difference, between you, and me… IS… I Know Who I AM…]

“Ahhh, another rhetorical question my friend?”
[Yes, rhetorical… For I AM me, and You are We… There is ONLY ONE…]

Peace & Love

“when we allow the “ego””… If the “ego” is an aspect of me, then I allow myself to believe that the Physical reality is all that there is… No?

The ego IS an aspect of your consciousness. And yes, you are the one that will allow it to shut out all other data available to you. I am going to use a mathematical analogy to explain the concept of the ego and how it operates. My numbers are totally arbitrary and not representative of anything accept the concept of how the ego operates. So do not get hung up on the numbers, understand the ego conceptually.

Here we go:
Let’s say that all of the data in the universe is represented by 1000 GB. At any given second all 1000 GB will pass through our consciousness. A person operating at the optimum level of physical consciousness can perceive say 50 GB of data in a second. Let’s say this person operating at the optimum level of physical consciousness would be represented by master teachers, like, The Christ, Buddha and Muhammad.

The average person that believes the physical world is all there is to experience through the ego will only acknowledge say 5 GB of data in a second. The whole time there are 1000 GB of data available at any given time, but most of us are only tuned in to 5 GB of data.The average person will actually experience more and recognize something different or “weird” at different times but will discount it as make believe or not acknowledge it at all. Either because of ignorance and/or fear. For instance we all know about a mothers intuition, many of us have deja vu experiences of having been in a time or place before or we can recall dreams. All these things are perceptions and experiences of the larger stream of consciousness. They are ALL common to us as humans. non of those experiences are physical. But our egos will make us believe that physical reality is all there is to experience.

But, in order to have access and experience more of the larger bank of data, we must raise our vibrations, or ascend. We do so by finding our joy or in another way of looking at it, finding our heaven within. Through finding our joy, our purpose, or reason for living, we can expand our abilities. When we operate from a higher vibration we can get all kinds of information and aid. We may never get to the 50 GB while in this physical life. But maybe we can get 10 or even 20 GB of data in this life.

So yes, you have allowed yourself to believe that physical reality is all there is to experience in the past. You are now beginning to trust a grander part of you and acknowledging more data to come to your conscious awareness. I will bet that you have acted on data received from the much broader aspect of the data available subconsciously. We all do without realizing it. Often times our higher consciousness will operate through us, in-spite of us. The ego works as it should in physical reality. It does what it is supposed to do. And that is to interpret and experience physical reality. It is not good or bad, it just is.

You said,

So, would it make sense, to say, My ancestors are My souls experiences of many past lives, physical and or non-physical?

Ahhh, another rhetorical question my friend?

Would it be too much to say that in past lives you have been your own ancestors? To acknowledge the blessings of your ancestors is to acknowledge the blessing from a grander you? Would it be way out of bounds to say that you have lived in other worlds and have access to that data? Have you ever dreamed you could breath under water?

Just sparks for your eventual fire.

I sense you already know.

I hope my mathematical analogy can lead you to your greater truths about your reality and the ego. Remember the numbers are irrelevant. It is the concept of how the ego operates in the physical that is important.

“Physical reality is but one stream of information and the so called ego is tuned totally to that stream. We run into issues when we allow the “ego” to believe it is all there is to our consciousness.”

“when we allow the “ego”"… If the “ego” is an aspect of me, then I allow myself to believe that the Physical reality is all that there is… No?

“Our physical experiences are registered by the soul.”
So, would it make sense, to say, My ancestors are My souls experiences of many past lives, physical and or non-physical?
