Foreword Dear Reader, In the summer of 1990, life as I knew it turned upside down. As a child, born with full access to extrasensory perception, I had caught the attention of a devoutly religious town and with it, a local sociopath who belonged to a cult intent on ridding the world of evil, evil which due to my “mysterious” abilities they mistook in me. Little did I know it but that summer was to determine the next thirteen years of my life. I lost my entire childhood and reality to repeated ritual torture at the hands of this man, (whom I was led to believe was my real father) and the cult he belonged to. For thirteen years and longer, I was entangled in a living nightmare. A nightmare that I see now was my intention for this life. At first I know most people upon reading this, will balk at the notion of anyone choosing an experience such as the one I lived through, especially given the fact that I quite nearly did not survive it at all. I survived for this reason… Despite all the years and all the horrific ways they tried to find a way to exorcize my abilities from me, they did not go away. They did not go away, and neither did the knowledge I came into this life with. And now, seven years after I got away, I share it with you. It is my sincere hope that all you who read this book, allow yourselves to unfold and open up to the spiritual aspect of your lives. It is my desire that you know a softer, less tangible part of yourself which is capable of openness, love, compassion and joy is yours at all moments of the day. It will never go away, no matter what you do and no matter what is done to you. May you become eternally intimate with this side of yourself, may you know the kind of bliss this intimacy brings. May you know your worth, may you know your freedom, and may you know you are loved every second, of every day. Sincerely, Teal Scott (The Author) v Acknowledgements This book is dedicated to all the people of earth who care enough to find bliss in their own lives and therefore create it in the world. And to Winter, my wonderful son who was the long awaited catalyst bringing so much beauty, love and joy into my life. This book is also dedicated to the following: To my parents, whose lives were turned upside down the same day that mine was, who have only ever wanted me to be happy and witness my success. It is my wish that you know we all chose into this experience for a reason. You are not responsible for anything that happened to me in the past. To my brother, Sky who has become a compassionate, honorable man. Whom I will never forget was both my companion and source of entertainment at our tiny cabin which had no electricity or indoor pluming. There is much of playing there with you that I miss. To my life long friend, Lauren Stokes who has remained as loyal and dedicated to me as she was from the minute we met as children, who had the strength and love enough to stay connected to me through it all. You are perfect to me. To Blake Dyer, my long lost “brother from a different father and mother” who was the one that hid me when I got away and still provides me permanent sanctuary to this day. You are the kindest person I have ever known. To Mark Scott, my wonderful husband who is my heart. Who is the only person in this world patient and in love with me enough to put up with the eccentric, compulsive, “writer” side of my personality, and who made it possible for me to write this book. I made the best decision of my life marrying you one month after meeting you in that dog park! vii Teal Scott And finally, this book is dedicated to the man who “ruined” my life. I find in retrospect you did not ruin it at all. I see now that we are only ever victims of victims. I am sorry for the pain I know you suffered in your life. I have stopped the cycle, and now I have you to thank because you were my greatest teacher (as difficulty always is). Without you, I would not have even thought to look for the happiness I now possess today. One day you will know that you are free. Thank you and I love you all! viii Chapter 1: In the Beginning In the beginning, there was light. The immeasurable, unsurpassed cosmos was a blank fabric of space-time ready to be woven full of meaning. Waiting for you. The history of this universe is woven as easily as silk from moment to moment as you live it. And when we trace the thread, back to the beginning we find out what we really are is immeasurable is unsurpassed. In the beginning, there was light. It is the beginning to the story of our universe that nearly everyone has heard. Yet mankind moves through life on Planet Earth year by year, and still the same inevitable questions arise. Who made the light? Was it God? Was it the byproduct of an ancient cosmic event within the universe science has been seeking for years? Why was there light? For some, the pursuit for answers to these questions is a lifelong devotion. Perhaps this is the reason you are reading this book today. Whatever the reason behind you ultimately finding yourself opening your experience to the pages you are about to read, it is a promise that the answers you are looking for are already yours. The path you are looking for is a path you are already on—and it will only get better from here. The answers were already yours to begin with. It is not that I seek to answer these questions from some point of higher perspective that is any more expansive than your own; it is that I seek to refresh and reconnect you with your own knowing. And so I ask you to be willing to follow me on a journey of rediscovery of the universe, of God, and of yourself. 1 Teal Scott Much farther down the road, after this first step within the universe we call “light,” you were born. For quite some time after the moment of your birth, you had full memory of everything that is to follow in this book. That is why upon your birth, you knew and felt your worth as separate from externals. You had no talent, no ability to operate physically within the world, no wealth, and no language. You had no great achievements by society’s standards—yet you had infinite worth that you felt very deeply because you simply … were. Everyone around you saw this worth. But they called this your potential—in other words, all the unrealized things you would do, become, and have at a later date. They called this potential—what you would do, become, and have—because they, as adults, had long since forgotten what you still remembered then. What you remembered is this— you cannot ever lose worth or gain worth, because your worth is separate from externals. It is even separate from this life. You were born complete, but not yet completed. You knew then that worth is in the potential energy that you are and that this universe is. Within potential energy already exists every yet-unrealized attribute that the adults in your life confused with worth. Worth in fact exists if you do nothing other than breathe and think for the whole of your life. And this potential energy exists before you made the decision to participate in this physical reality you now lead. It exists as you draw your first breath and as you draw your last breath. It exists after you make the decision to no longer participate in this physical life you now lead. You knew then what your purpose was. It is the same for all of us— living and non-living—and that is to be exactly where you are. To do exactly what you are doing in this moment. You knew that growth was inevitable because of this. You knew that you did not become physical so you could find something to put forth effort toward. You came into this physical place to conceive ideas and for those ideas to manifest around you as you let go and allowed them to. You knew then that you did not intend to come here in order to spin in the direction of everything you didn’t like about this world and push against it in attempt to change the world or rid reality of it. You knew your intention to live in the physical was an intention to aid in the full-circle evolution of this universe into a broader and more unified oneness than the oneness that is the underlying eternal truth of this universe. You knew then that this process we are in is the process of one becoming more one, consciousness becoming conscious of 2 The Sculptor In The Sky itself, God knowing itself, and the separated concept of the self becoming no separate self again through the eventual wanting of it. You knew that this life would be the very platform of not only your evolution, but also the evolution of all that is. You knew you did not have to try to do this; it was no sort of quest. You knew then that the way you would do this is to find one single thing in your life, and that is bliss. The beginning of this journey of rediscovery must start with a limited snapshot of our world today—a snapshot of the current collective, human, physical reality we have created. Today, while it is true that the occasional individual finds his or her way to his or her inner truth (the truth of the higher self) and then has full access to bliss, freedom, and awareness, the majority of human society has forgotten that these things are the point of life. Indeed, human society at large has even convinced itself that these things are not based in reality and are therefore instead simply wishful, “Pollyanna” thinking. More importantly, the majority of human society has forgotten that the source of all things is not ever found in events or people outside one’s self. It is found within. You may ask, then, what is becoming of this loss of memory of how the universe we live in really operates? The answer is powerlessness, which you can see every day in the form of war, illness, and fear. Fear sells, illness abounds, and powerlessness finds us as humans in a struggle against everything and everyone—which only brings that everything and everyone we do not want even closer. In forgetting what it is we came here to do and how one creates reality with focus, human society at large has accepted, individual by individual, a nightmare virus, which is the idea that the individual has no control, freedom, or power. This trend began centuries ago—as soon as men saw spirituality as a means to control others. The birth of organized religion brought the attention away from one’s own personal spiritual essence and focused it on practices of worship, obedience, and doctrine. The history of religion tells you a lot about the history of men and precious little about God. In fact, much of the historical side of religion is a horrific one, full of corruption, misinterpretation, conspiracy, murder, and tyranny. Almost all of the world’s conflicts have been caused by those who were supposed to be in the service of God. Writings pertaining to ancient human culture, which have no relevance today (some of which were not even meant to be taken literally), were construed to be the eternal word of God. The history 3 Teal Scott of religion exposes people in the human quest for power realizing for themselves that if another man was allowed to realize his own inherent divinity and power, no one could control him. And so they sought to suppress it, warn against it as abomination, and kill those who disagreed all in the name of God. To many, the idea of spirituality has been lost amidst the rubble of organized religion. This is to throw the baby out with the bathwater. It is true that the inherent flaws of religion have caused many to turn their backs on spirituality entirely. It is conversely true that for many, religion has been their anchor and even their hope. For some, religion has been a much-enjoyed system of safety that caused them not only to look for the divine in the first place, but also that caused them to not ever wish to look beyond their specific religion. Whichever side of the coin you stand on, the truth is that God is present within every religion in many different forms. God is also present in the absence of religion. God is not about whom or what is right or wrong. God is not about our human-imposed details. God is the essence of the eternal, loving omnipresence in all life. God is an essence that is obscured by human rules, doctrine, penance, and righteousness. It is the essence that is always present within every single person, regardless of his or her secular beliefs, or what he or she has done or become in this life. Religion at its best may be able to make a practice of God. But spirituality is God. It is the thread of love and human divinity that threads similarity through every religion and unites them. And from the vantage point of God, the nightmare that makes up much of our religious past is not the big picture. For example, from the perspective of God, even this nightmare many are living currently is pulling them closer and closer to its very opposite. We are slowly pulling ourselves toward love, joy, awareness, and the truth that all living and non-living parts of this universe, are intertwined. It is how it was always intended to be. The reality we all live in comes from within. There is no external reality that we participate in to force it into being what we want and force it to be rid of what we don’t want. This world is not a space in which we come in order to prove ourselves worthy of something higher. To God, the world we have created is full of beauty. There is not only more beauty than there is ugliness (and all that is restricting you from that view is focus), but also it is the ugliness that is giving rise to this beauty in the first place. To God worth and bliss are collectively like an inner light that you cannot lose and cannot gain, and all the things you think, do, have, and become are built 4 The Sculptor In The Sky in this life—like a stained glass window in front of that light that amplifies the beauty of that light, or like cobwebs in front of a window that obscure that light. It is a promise that by the end of this book, you will feel the stirrings of this memory deep within you—and as a result, you will know forever after that it is you who holds the power to decide to get back onto the path you intended. This path is the path of welcoming and becoming your own bliss. We speak of beginning because it is a concept that one cannot escape when operating in a three-dimensional reality. We are linear thinkers, because this is the dimension in which our physical lives are lived. This means that we are perpetually in search of the beginning of our universe as we know it. This presents a problem when trying to know the truth of the universe at large, because there is no such thing as a true beginning within something that is eternal. Eternal means extending in both the direction of the future and the past, so it is more of a circular concept than it is a linear one. The closer you get to understanding the properties of the most minuscule components of the physical universe that make up all that is physical—such as atoms, neutrons, electrons, quarks, and leptons—the more apparent the eternality (non-beginning) of the universe becomes. This does not deter us from still searching for a beginning, such as the Big Bang. In doing so, we are missing the big picture as well as the fact that the big picture cannot be complete without the component of God. It is impossible for something to be created (and therefore appear at random, incidentally) from nothing. All things—including our universe—are the result of what has been previous to those very things. This universe always has been and always will be, regardless of whether it is manifested in a three-dimensional capacity or not. It is eternal and therefore undergoes no beginning or end, but rather profound cycles. The state of the universe we are living in is a continuation of the state of the universe that was before it. To science, the universe appears to be expanding. This is purely because as multi-dimensional energy increases and changes, it appears in the three-dimensional reality to disestablish the position of physical things; therefore, as the space between those newly moved things is measured and called distance, the conclusion is drawn that the universe is expanding in size, when this is not the case at all. The universe is not expanding in size; it is expanding in energy, and as such, new dimensions are coming to be. As these new dimensions are 5 Teal Scott coming to be within this universe (which are, at this point, completely invisible to three-dimensional perception as well as measuring devices), it appears to us as if there is a new kind of energy that is increasing called dark matter. When a new collective evolution within the universe happens, the universe must become greater to compensate for that new idea. To do so, instead of increasing in size, it undergoes a sort of division—like the way the cells of your body divide. However, when the universe divides, it divides in terms of dimensions. When a dimensional division occurs, quite often in the third dimensional reality, it causes the appearance of what we may call an implosion or explosion. And everything about the reality of that dimension changes in its nature, properties, and laws. This physical effect caused by expanding dimensions that we experience in the third dimension as an explosion is the reason for the birth of the Big Bang theory. It is, however, just a snapshot in a perpetual universal evolution. Each new dimension has a higher energetic vibration than the last. Within each separate galaxy of this universe, you will find much evidence of the multiple dimensions inherent in our universe, such as black holes. These black holes not only pull energy, as is popularly thought, but they also emit it. They are interdimensional portals. They do not abide by the same properties as objects in the third dimension because of their interdimensional nature. This is why they distort space-time, among other things. They cannot be scientifically understood by us in the current format that we use, because they are of an entirely different energetic vibration than what we can access from the energetic vibration of this third dimensional reality. The unitarity of black holes, for example, is also the result of the fact that they are interdimensional in nature. Dark matter and black holes are not negative space; they are simply the experience of interdimensionality within the universe. To understand the nature of this universe, however, we must go back even further—past what science has called the Big Bang of our current physical reality and past the beginning of all dimensions. Though eternality is not linear, for the sake of communication, we can call this the beginning of the beginning. At this point, all was one. This concept of oneness is a concept that from our physical brain’s point of view, we cannot conceive of as more than a deep knowing, perhaps in the form of a deep feeling. This oneness existed in a state of potential energy. It was everything and it’s opposite. This oneness had a unifying consciousness. To even put a name on that which is unquantifiable, eternal, and limitless 6 The Sculptor In The Sky is to immediately make this unified consciousness an it and therefore lose the true nature of it. However, for the sake of communicating these things to you hereafter and as a stepping stone to your own personal knowledge of this consciousness, you should know that that this consciousness has gone by many names in human society—some of which you may be familiar with: the Great Spirit, Adi Purush, energy, Numen, Almighty, the immense ultimate, the omniscient, the unified field, Allah, the higher self, or God. I will refer to this oneness, however, as Source, as it is a neutral word that captures at least a bit of the essence of this unified consciousness throughout this book. Before you are born into this physical experience, you exist in and as the space of being of Source. Though it can be said that you have a certain sense of self, it is not the kind of sense of self that imbues a differentiation or separation from anything else in your objective awareness. You exist in essence as what can be called your higher self. Your higher self is the eternal, incorporeal, omnipotent, consciousness which is your real self. It is the being that you go forth from and withdraw back to from life to life. It is the summation of all that you have ever been and all that you are. It is often called a higher self because the frequency of the energetic vibration of Source and therefore your higher self could be interpreted as a much higher frequency than that of physical structure. Your connection to your higher self is unbreakable. It is in fact the focus of your higher self into the idea of you that created you in the first place. Your higher self is not a unit of energy so much as it is a smaller current within the larger current of source. Long ago, this unified consciousness we will call Source had its first desire—to know itself. And to know itself (the state of oneness) could only therefore happen from the platform of separateness. Within this oneness came the first deviation from oneness—the first movement, the first contrasting energetic vibration that did not resonate with the rest in this non-place that was still only non-physical at that point. The more movement attracted movement, the more separate it became. Physical reality is as separate as it gets. The first manifestation of the physical that came from that process of separation was light. Light is purely a form of electromagnetic radiation. We call this electromagnetic radiation the first manifestation because it had a very important property that had not existed up until that point in its dual nature—it has not only wave-like properties, but also particle-like properties. Particles are, in essence, an energetic vibration that appears to be static (unchanging and finite). The properties and behaviors of the 7 Teal Scott particle are the reason this physical reality appears static and feels real to you. Everything you see, feel, and touch is nothing but a specific movement that we could call a vibration of energy that has been moved (or vibrated) for so long that it has become so separate, it appears static. This physical experience appears static to you, but it isn’t. Your ears, eyes, nose, tongue, and nervous system (which are also simply vibrations of energy) are simply interpreting other energetic vibrations, and those energetic vibrations are what you experience as sight, taste, smell, touch, and sound. The idea that the physical is all there is, and that physical structure is static, unchanging, and non-mutable is one of the biggest illusions there is. We are in a time you could call the time of awakening or the new age; we have reached a point that we are coming back toward Source (knowing oneness). Each generation that is being born is more aware and less able to become disconnected from their inner knowledge of Source. Times—which are always changing—are changing at an even faster rate. It may seem odd to many of us that this unified consciousness would want to leave oneness in the first place if it already had it. But it is, in essence, a very cosmic, expansive form of what T. S. Elliot wrote: “We shall not cease from exploration and the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started and know the place for the first time.” Source is, at its core, the role of being; secondary only to this being, however, is its role as creator (the role we are concerned with in this physical reality). As such, in order to fulfill the desire to know itself and true oneness, a law was created within the universe that would supersede all physical laws we experience today. The word law, as it applies to this original desire, simply means a universal property that is binding, recurring, unanimous, and fundamental to the nature of the universe. It was the “law of oneness.” In this time and age, this law has been called by many the “law of attraction,” so for continuity’s sake, I will stick with this terminology hereafter. The law of attraction could accurately be called the law of oneness, because Source knew that this law was a full-circle law, meaning that due to its nature, it would serve to separate Source to its furthest extent, only to then catalyze all separateness back to true oneness. Simply put, the first deviating energetic vibration from this oneness drew other energetic vibrations to match it from the oneness, and each deviation drew more deviation until deviation had reached its furthest point. Once it reached this point, the law of attraction, in continuing to draw energetic 8 The Sculptor In The Sky vibrations together (like to like), would begin to draw these separated energetic vibrations back to oneness. The Law of attraction boils down to this: that which is like unto itself is drawn. On the most expansive level, if there is not such a thing as something that is not Source, and like attracts like, then ultimately there is no other truth and no other end result than oneness that could ever be had. You could think of the law of attraction as the directing force of all energetic vibrations within the universe. It is directing energetic vibrations that are a resonating match together and energetic vibrations that are not a resonating match away from each other on the level of spirit, thought, and physical reality alike. There is no pause button to the law of attraction; there is no loophole. It is working day in and day out eternally. When we as humans are not aware of the true freedom we have, we do not tend to like the idea of a law—but let it be known (as will be explained in-depth later on in this book) that this law can be your very best friend. Even though it is working, whether or not you understand it (you do not have to understand it in order for it to work perfectly), once you do truly understand it, you will not wish at any point to be free of it. 9 Chapter 2: What Am I and Why Am I Here? I am here. A hand, afoot, a face, to witness the arrivals and departures of each season of my life as each climbs to its pinnacle only to slip into the consumptive reach of time. An intricacy of manhood, in perpetual search of the divine. But why? One of these energetic vibrations that deviated from Source was the energetic vibration of thought. This is what created the current we call your higher self. From the energetic vibration of thought came the energetic vibration of Tulpa (that which some cultures call thought form), and from the energetic vibration of Tulpa came the energetic vibration of physical form. You are such a physical form. Essentially, you are a thought that Source and ultimately your higher self thought into being. And as such, you—sitting here, reading this today—are like the farthest reaching development of Source. You cannot be separate from it. You are it. But as you are living your life as a pioneer portion of Source and therefore your higher self, you often forget that you are much more expansive than this physical form. The you that you know exists on all these previously mentioned levels simultaneously. And you have also forgotten that as this pioneer portion of source energy, the very evolution of Source itself is happening because of you. Projecting oneself into this static, particle-like dimension called the physical from the standpoint of the non-physical part of you is not only a noble decision but also an enthusiastic one. The physical (due to its nature) has a way of inspiring evolution in the universe in a way no other 11 Teal Scott dimension can. It does this by becoming the tangible manifestation of whatever it is that you are energetically vibrating. To Source, this means that physical reality is a very definitive playground of opposites—good and bad, positive and negative alike. And this defined way of experiencing what it is that you are resonating with helps you—and therefore Source—know what you want. It is through this focus on what you want that Source knows not only what to become, but also what it is. Every time you experience something you see as negative, you give rise to its opposite within you. It is only in the presence of black that we can know that which we call white. It is only in the presence of that which we call negative that we can know positive. This playground of opposites is causing you—day in and day out—to come to ideas of improvement, and it is these improved and amended ideas that Source becomes. The evolution of Source to become these things is immediate. The moment you give rise to a positive amended idea, that idea—which now exists as an energetic thought vibration—is what the most expansive part of you (which I will hereafter refer to as your higher self) becomes the exact energetic vibration of. It becomes this improved idea. It becomes this amended energetic vibration. But you are still this pioneer portion of your higher self—and as such, you are able to hold a different energetic vibration from the energetic vibration that your higher self and Source at large holds (and therefore is) because of you. This is not a natural state, however, and you will know this state is unnatural because when you are resonating at a different frequency than that which you have created, it comes through to you by way of you feeling bad emotionally. You hold this opposing resonance to your higher self and to what you want because you are still thinking thoughts that are vibrating at the frequency of the previous idea instead of the frequency of the amended, improved idea. You are thinking them with enough regularity that they have become either a conscious or subconscious belief. In this physical reality, it feels often like beliefs are static truths—but they are only thoughts that are thought so often they are yielding (due to the law of attraction) more thoughts exactly like them until the thoughts begin to yield physical, tangible manifestations that you then call proof. This proof then reinforces the belief you started out with and from there, you are caught by default in this snowballing cycle of being out of control over your own energetic vibration. You are caught in this cycle because you have lost the most valuable 12 The Sculptor In The Sky knowledge of all—the knowledge that it is you (and only you) who controls your thoughts. This is a powerful statement and knowledge, because your thoughts control your resonance, and your emotion will tell you if you have chosen the right thought and therefore are resonating with negative (not in tune with what you want to create and be) or positive (in tune with what you want to create and be). Most people are caught in a cycle of creating by default; a person may be unaware of what he or she is resonating with, because he or she does not understand what his or her emotions mean, and he or she is also not aware that he or she controls his or her thoughts. Instead, he or she is caught in a state of thinking that his or her thoughts and feelings come in response to the things that are happening to him or her—when the truth is exactly the opposite. To get caught in this default way of living is to be stuck in a state of only noticing manifestation and missing the precursor to manifestation, which is the entire truth to life. The truth is that anything that is in your life is as a result of what you were previously resonating with. To know that and then learn how to use that knowledge to be the conscious creator of your life is to live in a state of pre-manifestation comprehension, which was your plan for coming into this life in the first place. Before you thought yourself into physical form, you had no fear of being in a playground where negative vibrations of energy and their manifestations exist. You knew it did not have to serve as anything more than an aid to helping you define what to become. In other words, you knew it would help you define your bliss. You were in a space where you had not forgotten the ultimate freedom you were; therefore, knowing you controlled your thoughts completely, you were not afraid that you would adopt these negative vibrations and find an energetic resonance with them. Instead, the physical dimension looked like an exalted version of a candy store where you could observe and experience, and through observing and experiencing the flavors and textures of what you liked and disliked, you could better know what it was you wanted. By turning your focus to what you wanted, you would then have it. You knew you wouldn’t even have to look for it, because in this candy store called physical life, due to law of attraction, anything you conceive of is yours; it is brought to you with absolutely no effort at all. The “how” of it is not your job, and it never was your job. You knew before coming into physical expression that this dance of using negativity as the platform to becoming positive could not only be enjoyable and beneficial to you, but also that it would benefit all that is. 13 Teal Scott When you find bliss, knowing that the ultimate truth to the universe is the truth of oneness, all find bliss along with you. Before you came into this physical being, you watched your parents with full knowledge of their life experience and made the decision to come into physical expression with them based not only on their positive energetic vibrations, but also on their negative energetic vibrations, because you understood then what those energetic vibrations would help you become. Your intentions for your life (as well as theirs) may have in fact been so strong that you made the plan with them to come into the same physical experience with them before they had even become physical themselves. It may not feel like it right now, but the experience of the negative is far more beneficial to you than it is detrimental. You could not evolve if you had nothing to evolve away from. There would be no movement within the universe if everything in your experience was just positive. You would not give rise to a single idea; therefore, you could not create. There would be no free will in that. And the ultimate truth of your existence is that you are free. That would be the end, and we are not there. The thoughts giving rise to the physical reality humans experience today have evolved so far as to have reached the idea of the process of birth (both the negative and positive of it) for many beneficial reasons. However, for birth to be, a baby must be small enough to fit through a woman’s birth canal. And as such, a human baby is born nearly premature comparatively. Therefore, it needs a great deal of physical care. But the mistake we make is in looking at that baby and saying, “I am this baby’s caretaker, I am they baby’s provider, I am the baby’s safety, I am the baby’s guidance”—and that is obvious, because the baby appears to be so feeble. That baby, who had a very divine purpose and was being guided and energetically fed into being by it’s higher self into the physical for the first nine months with no effort was not abandoned to its parents upon the moment of birth. This stream of Source continues for its entire life. The instinct to care for a newborn is energy from Source flowing through a parent, inspiring them to do so. It feels like a positive compulsion to do so. When we start to get into trouble is when we try to take over for the source that is this child and override the infant with our energetic vibrations and idea that life means struggle and that this baby is ours instead of being one of us who has merely come into the physical at a different time than we did. Life does not have to mean struggle if we are not in the vibration state of resistance to our higher selves. When as parents, we have forgotten that 14 The Sculptor In The Sky we are conscious creators of our experience; we live in fear, thinking that it is possible for others to do anything to us. We look at our infant and immediately start demonstrating the backward art of pushing ourselves against this source flow that we each have within us. We begin immediate nonverbal as well as verbal teaching—that the way to try to achieve happiness is to control the manifestations around us, otherwise known as external physical reality. We do this malediction by our example, which is the greatest (if not the only) way there is to truly teach. But gaining happiness by controlling the external manifestations we have already thought into being is an impossible quest. Most people in society care much more about a child finding a way to please them through its actions than a child finding a way to please itself through its thoughts and then subsequent inspired actions, because most people have not found a way back to finding their own happiness for themselves yet—and the cycle continues like that from generation to generation. A parent begins by saying, “This baby belongs to me and must behave in this certain way for me to be happy.” And while this is not a concept that a baby agrees with, at some point in childhood (because this eternal being is new to the practice of this physical life and practices it by mimicking what it sees around it), the child is influenced enough to decide to adopt these energetic vibrations and therefore begins to find resonance with them. The child becomes more motivated by the approval or disapproval directed at him or her by others than his or her own higher self or emotions, and in time is therefore guided away from his or her own internal knowledge. The child starts to think his or her worth is based on what he or she does and how well he or she does it. Worth subsequently becomes obscured. It is not relinquished; it is not gone, but the child (and subsequent adult) has lost sight of it. It is a decision we make to conform to our environment in this way when we are born, because in most cases, we decide it is more beneficial for us to do so than to deal with the potential wrath of not doing so. The decision—while still a decision—can be so subconscious that it does not feel as though it was a choice at all. We forget how to follow our own energy pull, calling, knowledge, and purpose. Though not gone, they are lost from our awareness. This is what happened to our parents as a result of their environment—and to their parents as a result of their environment, and so on and so forth—much farther than you could ever trace. This pattern, however, has given rise to a new collective desire. It is the platform of this negative energetic vibration that is allowing the birth of new generations 15 Teal Scott who have begun to come in—and will continue to come in—with the purpose of not forgetting the higher self. The people of these generations will not conform and will not forget. And with them, the rest of society will follow into remembrance. It is not something that gives most people comfort to understand, though it is truth that it is always a choice to adopt any energetic vibration. Your essence cannot be harmed or lost. No matter what childhood or past you have had, not even the most traumatic experience you could ever conjure into experience could damage your higher self. It will always remain intact and eternally search for ways to manifest its complete self. The most you can ever do is prevent the energetic flow of this energy of your complete, interminable higher self through your three-dimensional self. There is not some magic age at which a child suddenly is in control of his or her energetic vibration, has free will, and is subject to laws of attraction. A child—often before it even has capacity for language—chooses to assume a negative energetic vibration (such as one of fear) because he or she mimics his or her parents’ thoughts and way of living. A child’s parents have the dominant energetic vibration within the household. This dominant energetic vibration—being very influential, as dominant vibrations are—is the energetic vibration that the child’s attention is focused upon. It is not the child’s fault; he or she is merely in such a mode of observance during the adjustment into physical existence that he or she assumes this energetic vibration by default. But despite this lack of awareness that leads to default adoption of negative energetic vibrations, the truth is that it is ultimately a choice to do so. And it is for this reason (that it was a choice in the first place) that you can—at any point in your life, no matter how ingrained and practiced your negative energetic vibrations are—choose to adopt and therefore resonate with a different vibration. So how do you know whether you are holding a positive energetic vibration or not? And how do you change your energetic vibration if you are indeed holding a negative energetic vibration? 16 Chapter 3: The North Star, Called Emotion Emotions … the compass displaying which path of a thousand paths you are headed down, between the South of tragedy and the North of bliss. An internal, lusty, chemical kind of North Star you can follow all the way home. Home to Source, straight to the way you want your life to be. The law of attraction is working on every dimension in this universe, including that of Source. Source and therefore your higher self, has the ability to switch vibrations immediately, and it introduces a vibration of such magnitude that when source has adopted the identical energetic vibration to the energetic vibration of your amended, improved ideas (and therefore wants), just like a magnet, you will begin to be pulled in that direction until you are one and the same. You will be pulled (as if magnetically) to opportunities, people, items, and ideas—indeed, toward anything that is an energetic vibrational match to the vibration source and your higher self now is. Because you are Source, there is no greater likeness in the universe than that of your higher self and you. The universe will be leading you toward your higher self, day in and day out, every moment of your life. You will never be lost. Being inspired by physical life makes want inevitable. And growth, betterment, and evolution are inevitable byproducts of physical life—no matter what you do. If you walk the path of nonresistance—if you let go and just let yourself be pulled magnetically by your higher self (which is acting in your best interest at all times)—your life will be blissful and you will get every single thing you want. You are always a match to yourself (that which your higher self is). But you can despite this, think thoughts that resonate with negative energetic vibration in opposition to your higher self. If you were not able to hold a separate vibration than your higher self, you could not experience enough to even identify your wants, and Source could not 17 Teal Scott evolve. There would not be any disparity to want or learn from. When you do this, however, it is as if you are half of the magnet that has now reversed itself—you are causing incredible vibrational friction in a form of battle that you cannot ever win. When you do that, you are restricting the circulation of your higher self’s focus through you and will lose energy. Eventually, your physical body will deteriorate—on top of the fact that you will now be a match to the manifestation of anything that matches your current negative vibration. You do not need to fear this, because you will know if are doing this based on how you feel. This is never intentional— but if you are feeling any negative emotion, this is what you are doing. Most people moving through this physical dimension as adults today have forgotten their most acute and accurate sense of all—their emotions. The average person is aware emotions exist but views them as a menace— something to fight, something he or she is powerless to, a drawback, or even something to distrust. The average person does not know what emotions are and does not know why emotions are. We are in a tug of war between being a slave to them and flipping around to wage war with them. We have a multibillion dollar pharmaceutical industry set up to make a profit from chemically aiding people to suppress their emotions and change them externally. All of this is resistance to Source, to our true selves, and to true bliss that is possible from any moment from wherever you are, because all of your power is in the now. Your emotions are the compass guiding you through this venture called life. They are all the guidance you will ever need. You are a specific energetic vibration and are made up of a collection of energetic vibrations—all of which are under your control. Source does not view the negative energetic vibrations in thought or in the physical as negative, because they serve a divine purpose. Source itself is undiluted, positive energy. It is undiluted, positive energy, because that is our desire of it. Source becomes the vibration of whatever we have truly wanted. I use the word truly with regards to our wanting because Source has a better idea of what we truly want than we at times even have conscious awareness of. It knows, for example, that no one truly wants to kill another person—what he or she wants is to feel in control of himself or herself and his or her reality and to feel free. Killing someone is just an impulsive, immediate attempt some make to gain back freedom and a sense of control from his or her current position of powerlessness, insecurity, and fear. This is why Source is entirely benevolent. In the moment that we hold a thought, it is either in resonance with 18 The Sculptor In The Sky what we want—the energetic vibration of your higher self and how Source sees something we are giving focus to—or we are in discord with it. You could think of this like an energetic symphony. When you give your attention to a subject, the thoughts you are thinking about that subject have an energetic vibration that could be compared to a musical note or frequency. That frequency either matches the frequency of the orchestra at large (called Source), or it does not. If it does not, you are disallowing the music (the flow of energy from your higher self) to flow. When you disallow this flow, you are disallowing yourself from becoming a match to what you desire—you are disallowing joy; you are disallowing your own freedom. Moving on with this analogy of music, just as there are musical notes a, b, d, e,f, andg, there is no musical note that represents the equivalent of c, “not a” or “not b.” There is no “anti-vibration” within the universe. You are either in energetic resonance with what you want, or you are in resonance with something else. If you focus on the idea of “I don’t want A” or “not A,” your resonance will be with none other than … A. So for example, if you know you don’t want A, then the only way to use the law of attraction to your benefit is to find out by knowing you don’t want A, you therefore want B, and then focus on (and therefore find resonance with) B. The way to know if you are in resonance or discord with what you want—and with your higher self—is how you feel. Your emotions are the conductor of this symphony of energetic vibrations. Most of you have heard a musical note that is out of tune. Most of you have heard a musical note that is in tune. Your negative emotions are what happen when you are out of tune, and your positive emotions are what happen when you are in tune. These energetic vibrations manifest themselves physically in the form of neuro-peptides that cause an electrical charge to the neurons in our brains that compel us in one way or another. You could say, in effect, that emotions are physical, chemical manifestations of the energetic vibration of the thought we are thinking at any given moment. But you are more than your brain. And one should never confuse the mind with the brain. The brain is simply a sophisticated, flesh-composed computer of energetic vibrations. Thought (what you could call the mind) exists beyond the brain; it is not the brain that gives rise to thought. It is thought that gives rise to the brain. The brain enables you to interact with the physical, and when the brain is damaged, this is the only task you can no longer perform. If you think of these energetic vibrations of thought as musical notes, the path from the furthest note from your higher self 19 Teal Scott (what you want) to the note of being in perfect resonance with your higher self, as you can imagine, encompasses a wide range of notes in between. Each of your emotions accounts for one of these notes between these two extremes—bliss and freedom being on one end of the line, and total powerlessness and fear being on the other end of the line. And they are telling you at every moment, like a compass, if what you are thinking (and therefore living) is correct or incorrect for you. Instead of distrusting emotion, we should embrace it wholeheartedly as the completely reliable, consistent compass that guides us through our lives—because this is what your emotions are. It is only when you ignore that emotional compass that you become convinced that emotions have ever failed you and are ever negative in nature. In effect, we ignore our internal compass while that guidance is screaming at us louder and louder, and then blame our compass itself for the reason that we are upset, because it feels so unnatural and miserable to us to be going in the wrong direction. They are only the gauge informing us of what we are thinking at any moment. You have the ability, whenever you feel that negative emotion, to do one thing—and that is to find a thought that more closely resonates with the frequency of Source. You will know it more closely resonates, because the thought will make you feel better. There is no right or wrong to this. People sometimes do not recognize when they are getting closer to finding resonance with their wants (their higher self) because the energetic vibration of anger is actually closer to resonance with the higher self than fear or sadness is. What will feel better to someone in the space of fear or sadness is thinking a thought that feels like anger. The energetic vibration of pessimism is closer to resonance with the higher self than the energetic vibration of anger, so what feels better than a thought of anger is a thought that feels like pessimism. What feels better than a thought of pessimism is a thought that feels like optimism, and what feels better than a thought of optimism is a thought that feels like happiness. Once you have reached that, you are resonating with your higher self. Do not condemn your or someone else’s anger—ever. If it comes after a feeling of fear or sadness, it is a serious improvement. Once your anger becomes the bad-feeling place, look for a thought that makes you feel better than anger does—and so on and so forth. You can do this with your innate gift of focus. You have control of your focus. Focus the most important aspect of creating your life. It is a skill that takes practice—and practice is nothing more than repetition. When you find a thought that feels better than the 20 The Sculptor In The Sky thought you are currently thinking, the law of attraction will magnetically bring you another good thought—and then another, and then another. Whatever energetic vibration (thought) you are holding is subject—like everything is subject—to the law of attraction. Therefore, things in your physical will reflect perfectly back to you what energetic vibration you hold. The physical life that you identify with is a perfect reflection of your most practiced energetic vibrations (thoughts). If you begin today to practice focus on thinking thoughts that make you feel better, you will begin to follow your emotional navigator into bliss—and the entire world around you that you once thought was an external reality will shift to become the manifestation of that which you have consistently (even unconsciously) defined as your bliss. Often people are confused about just how important their emotions are. One could accurately say that emotion (the way you feel) is the most important thing there is in this universe, because all emotion exists to reflect to you whether you are in resonance with your higher self and therefore Source itself or in discord with it. At all moments, there are two ways of moving to find resonance with your higher self (and therefore bliss). The first is to realize you are a manifestation of the energy of your higher self which is direct Source energy, which becomes what we want the second we want it; therefore, anything you want, you already have. The second is to want the now. Any time you find appreciation for what already is, you want it. And when you want what is, you have instantly attained resonance with your higher self. You will feel Blissful. Neither of these techniques is better or worse than the other. They are, in fact, incredibly effective if used together. But one of the quickest ways to become chronically unhappy is to try to suppress a desire or to try to look at what you don’t like about the now and try to force yourself to like it. There are many belief systems that preach the idea that the correct road in life and the road to bliss is to rid oneself of desire itself. It is easy to see how it would be a quick assumption to make that unhappiness comes from not getting something you want, therefore causing you to live in a perpetual state of “the grass is greener on the other side.” If you lived in this kind of reality, it would seem to you that the root of evil and what brings unhappiness in the first place is desire. But this is not the case. This is to throw the baby out with the bathwater. Wanting is not the root of evil. It is the way that the universe becomes more aware of itself. It is the very root of our evolution. It is easy to make it the root of evil if one is not 21 Teal Scott aware that he or she can manifest what he or she desires at any point. It is also easy to make it the root of evil if a person is focused on the world as if it exists outside himself or herself. If you have become convinced that the world exists outside yourself, you are viewing the world in a finite way where there is the illusion of limit with regards to resources. From that vantage point, it appears that it is possible to take things away from someone. This is a concept we call greed, which entails suffering. Greed does not exist if a person sees this universe as it really is. Often people operate within the physical dimension under the false understanding of a finite universe. In the physical state, it is easy to get stuck in the illusion of boundaries and limitations. It is understandable that someone could get caught up in thinking that Source is like a pool that will be used up if everyone is following his or her bliss and getting what he or she wants. It is also understandable how it is easy to fall into thinking that being happy means you are detracting from someone or something else’s happiness. This is never the case. This universe, Source, is infinite. There is no boundary and no beginning and no end to it. Everything that is physical is a condensed form of the nonphysical. Therefore, if you think of it and resonate with it, it must come to be. The only thing that is getting in the way of this coming to be or of you seeing it as possible is your focus on how it will come to you, which breeds in you the energetic vibration of being overwhelmed or pessimism. In that resonance, you are disallowing it to be. You are not an energetic, vibrational match to what you thought of and wanted in the first place. The how of something is not your job. It gets in the way of the physical realization of everything that you want. You do not ever need to know how something you dream up will come to be; it will simply come to be when your thoughts are a perfect match to what it is you dreamed up. This universe is an unlimited resource. There is more than enough for everything that is to have everything they want at no detriment—instead, to the benefit—of anything else that is. We have also been living by a false idea, which is that we must be honest about reality—honest about what is. That false idea exists because of the false sister idea that reality exists separate of where our focus is (the false notion that it is external). What is, is only an indication of what your focus has been on in the past. There is no such thing as a static reality, and there is no such thing as a reality that exists outside yourself. Looking at what is because you think you must face and accept reality causes intense focus on what is, which only reinforces the energetic vibration of what is; 22 The Sculptor In The Sky therefore, all you will be able to manifest into your reality is more of what is. If you are interested in intentionally creating your life and finding bliss, your focus should be aimed at what you like about what is and what it is that you want to be—and in turn, that will end up being your reality. 23 Chapter 4: Destiny and Free Will Of the mystery, the challenge, the gift, the illusion of free will, it can only be said that there is but one opportunity giving rise to two diverging paths on one side, the choice to use it on the other, the choice to leave it alone. And either way, you are free. The argument over the paradox of predetermination and free will is one that has spanned the centuries. This is a paradox because there is not one or the other that is true. The truth lies in the fact that both are simultaneously true. You are playing this life out, and you are also a piece of a bigger picture, which is playing you. The paradox starts with the fact that you are Source—and because of this, you cannot escape the original plan Source had for itself (and therefore you) to evolve. You are fated to evolve, and therefore to think, feel, and choose. It is inevitable that whatever you choose will lead Source to the same inevitable state. But it is not predetermined how you will evolve and therefore think and choose. It is that choice of thought and desire in the first place that constitutes free will. You are Source, so anything you choose is Source’s choice. In this respect, the truth of yourself and your existence is complete freedom. But at no point was every minute of every day of your life written before you got here. In a nutshell, truth lies in the fact that you are executing Source’s original plan through the free will you execute on a daily basis through your choice of thought. There is no reason to try to rebel against this, because being Source, it was you who made that original plan in the first place. You are not being controlled by anything other than yourself. It just feels that way when you forget that you are Source. When a person traditionally thinks of destiny, her or she thinks of someone laying out all the plans for his or her life—someone who is fated to be where he or she is and do what he or she is doing. The entire plan of his or her life is to be a kind of living chess piece. Destiny is much more complicated than that. When you are not yet focusing thought 25 Teal Scott into the physical form of yourself, you exist as your higher self. You are in other words, a thought of Source. You are immersed in Source and therefore are intimately one with its far-reaching perspective. It is with this perspective that you continue to ebb and sway in and out of physical form for the purpose of letting the physical life help you to become greater. The energetic vibration you hold before being physical becomes a perfect match to the energetic vibrations of everything that you are in the physical dimension. It is a simultaneous resonance or coming together of your spirit essence, your genes, your personality, your parents, when you were born, your location (therefore your astrology), etc. You know before you come into this body that the specific energetic vibrations you are about to come into will inspire you to find a way to resonate at the frequency of whatever you want to resonate with for the purpose of your own vibrational evolution. It is from this perspective that you will come in with an overall purpose or intention. If you are thinking (and therefore doing) things that are in line with that energetic purpose, you will feel bliss. This is often the reason behind a person being predisposed toward art, athletics, or any number of things. When a person is doing something that puts him or her vibrationally in resonance with his or her pre-birth intention, he or she feels the bliss of that resonance. We in the third dimension say that it must have been his or her destiny to do that thing. Because it feels so right to us, in our resonation with purpose, we can feel the feeling of pre-deliberation in it that we usually cut ourselves off from with the way we live our current physical lives. That being said, you did not lay out all the details of your physical experience before you got here. You begin to attract these details once you are here. Nothing in your life has to become or will become without your cooperation. You can alter the course of your life and your intention at any time. But the intentions of your higher self (more than just your physical self) are being satisfied by your physical life—and this is why you can often feel destiny in that. This concept of destiny brings up the question of reincarnation and karma. Reincarnation is not linear, as we would have it be, due to the nature of the way our brains work. You reincarnate into a physical dimension because you extend from your higher self and withdraw back to your higher self in an ebb and sway toward a physical form and from physical form. Your individual lives can be described best with the famous analogy of a candle flame. If you have a flame on a candle, take that flame and light the wick of a different candle with it, and blow out the first flame, is 26 The Sculptor In The Sky the second flame the same flame as the first? Or is it different? The answer is that the flame is not the same—and it also is not different. You are not the same from life to life, and you also are not different. Because you are always connected to Source, you have come into this life still connected to what many like to call an “Akashic Record,” which is knowledge compiled in the non-physical of all that has been since the beginning. Akashic knowledge is knowledge of oneness, the cosmos, and all human and non- human experience throughout history. It is also knowledge of all of your previous lives. This knowledge is encoded in your DNA. You have access to memories of past lives, even if they are not conscious to you. You have gained understanding in your past lives that has transferred with you into this life, and you will carry it with you into the next life. This standpoint of understanding is responsible for the reason you chose this life. It is also partially responsible for why you show different propensities than others. This knowledge of past lives can be triggered like a distant memory of familiarity by a great many things, such as traveling to a place you have lived in a past life, because even though your opposing energetic vibrations (sufferings) are wiped clean in death so you can have a fresh start, your vibrational slate is not wiped entirely clean from life to life. While it is both hard and not really beneficial to separate what comes from past lives and what comes from this life (like we love to do linearly), memories from past lives can be experienced in our dreams. These memories can be responsible for our unexplainable affinities and interests toward things such as cultures, places, things, our unexplainable talents, and what we innately relate to. It also plays a role in Déjà vu. Déjà vu is a feeling that can crop up when memories from a past life are triggered. It can also be a feeling that crops up when you definitively know you are on the physical path in life that is in resonance with your higher self and your pre-birth intentions (a crossroads in which you know you have chosen the right place at the right time). All this being said, it is not reasonable for someone to have a negative holdover from a past life. This is not something that gives people much comfort when they have made past lives the scapegoat of their current problems. All of your negativity is negativity you picked up in this life— either by default or deliberately for the purpose of using it for your own evolution. Anyone who is truly capable of seeing your past lives will see them this way also. The only way you could ever accurately and consciously access your past lives (which have been many) is to be at a place where you are completely in resonance with Source—much like the state Buddha 27 Teal Scott reached in his mediation under the Bodhi tree. From that state, they are seen much differently than one would traditionally think. Every thought that has ever been thought still exists. But Source has become only the energetic equivalent of the total positive improvement that has become because of those thoughts and experiences of past lives. From the clear state of resonance with source, you never feel intense emotion over something you suffered in a past life, because all that is from that vantage point is the good that came of any and all of it. Your past lives only serve to help you positively evolve into what you are. You are the culmination of all of them. It is for this reason that it is never really helpful (even if it is interesting) to deliberately remember your past lives. If a person thinks he or she sees a negative holdover in you which correlates to a past life, this is really due to the law of attraction. This person is picking up on your energetic vibration and seeing the thought images of any past life (not even yours) that corresponds most closely to the negative energetic vibration that you are holding in this life. To complicate things further, as per the law of attraction, the images are also a match to the person observing them—which means whether they are yours or not, they are an energetic vibrational match to the person seeing the images and calling them yours. This universe is not a linear one, which means intentions for coming into form can be all over the map. The truth of reincarnation is not in line with the traditional idea that a butcher is then fated to become the animal he has butchered in his next life. There is no cosmic debt you are paying. All of your lives are chosen specifically because of what they will help you evolve into. It may be that when a butcher dies and has re-emerged as his higher self, having evolved into what his life caused him to evolve into, the next step could be that he hopes to gain evolution out of the new perspective that being on the other side of the coin (an animal meeting with the butcher’s knife) would give him. But you do not attract a life by default based on your last life. You may, when you have had to die in one life in order to realize your desires, choose to reemerge into a life with a similar circumstance. You may have the intention of reliving the situation that gave birth to that desire with the intention of realizing the desire before you die in the new life, knowing that the achievement of that desire while you are still living will give rise to an entirely new set of desires—and therefore, a new perspective. Thus it is easy to interpret this choice as fulfilling unfinished business from one life in the next. 28 The Sculptor In The Sky You can, from the standpoint of your higher self, choose to revisit or reactivate the thoughts and thought forms associated with a past life because they still exist. You do not attract a life from a vibration of negativity, because your negative energetic vibration does not follow you past death. This is why it feels good to die. When you die, the thoughts and thought forms are left behind as you withdraw your focus back into the total positive energetic vibration of Source. This is why karma is only a concept for the physical realm. It is the concept that you get what you give—a simplified way of explaining how the law of attraction works. And because negative vibration cannot be carried over from life to life, karma does not exist outside the physical dimension. Karma is something people use to justify things over which they think they have no control—a control over trying to scare people into behaving in a way that is beneficial to others. It is what people say when they are not consciously aware of the law of attraction (and are therefore looking at the manifested aftermath of it). One could say that death is destiny. It will come to everything that is physical—anything that had a beginning. But in terms of annihilation, death is impossible. There is no such thing as death. It is easy to understand why when we lose our knowledge of the big picture in this life, we would become attached to this singular physical life and say it is all there is. It is easy to view death as a villain when you cannot choose when other people around you will choose to die. It seems that death takes whatever it wants at will. Death causes all people involved to question their own lives and their own eternal natures. But as you are grieving, your grief itself is telling you that you are resonating with your brain. Not resonating with your higher self, what your higher self knows about death and that discordant energetic vibration is causing you to suffer. It is easy to become attached to the physical aspect of this life and say that it is unbearable that when a loved one dies, you cannot touch that person’s skin or see him or her physically walking and talking every day. You focus on the absence of them in your space. But loved ones still exist past death. You can communicate with them. From this standpoint of death, they have more access to you than they ever did in life—because to your higher self, there is no time and place. They can be with you no matter where or when you are. Death is a natural event. In fact, it does not even have to be an event. The reason you see people suffering greatly during the process of death and declining greatly in health before death has to do with two things. The first is that when people fear and fight against 29 Teal Scott death, they are holding a discordant energetic vibration, which gives rise to illness and suffering on many levels of themselves. The second is a person’s expectation of what will happen before he or she dies. A person’s beliefs are very dependent on what he or she sees around him or her in the form of other people (and now on television and in newspapers). An individual may be surrounded by people who do not view death as natural, who fear and fight against death. In that person’s flailing against it, he or she declines and suffers, and death becomes a large event instead of the non- event it can be. This expectation even governs at what age you will die. It is because of your belief—which is based on other people—that no one lives to an old age much past the expected old age for his or her time period. If it was your intention and you harbored no belief that there was an impending time you are fated to die, you could live for as long as this single life served your interest and the interest of your higher self. That being said, it was never your intention to come into one life—into one point of view—and stay in it for eternity. While that may seem like an alluring idea once you have become attached to the physical aspect of you, at some point it would lose its benefit to you, and you would no longer be infatuated with it. The transition into death does not have to be a painful one, and you do not have to decline in health to die unless you believe it will be painful and that you must decline in health to do so. Death is simply a withdrawal of your higher self’s focused energy into the thought of the physical you in this life. While the brain is an amazing tool for physical life if it is used properly, it comes equipped with natural roadblocks to accepting the truth that there is no death. One of these is that it is hard-wired for survival. Its purpose is to tell us that we want life. It is hard-wired in this way because that survival instinct serves your higher self in keeping you in the physical long enough that you can benefit from it. This very ingrained chemical pattern, however—like everything else that is—can be changed with your thoughts. The feelings of fear and pain are chemically based and restricted to your physical body. Upon the very moment of death (as most anyone who has had a near-death experience will tell you), your brain is left behind, and those chemicals that interpret thoughts of fear are left behind. The terrible sensations of pain and fear are left behind with your body, and you will de-manifest. When you die, you will have the experience of passing into an overwhelming white light. This is because as you reverse this process of manifestation, you will pass through the stage of Tulpa (thought form) 30 The Sculptor In The Sky and then through the beginnings of your physical manifestation, which is light. Because you will be returning to Source, you will be immersed immediately in the undiluted positive energetic vibration of Source. This will feel like heaven to you. It is, in truth, an experience much like the changing of perspectives between being in your physical life and going to sleep—you emerge into a beautiful-feeling dream that is more familiar to you than even your physical life. It is no more dramatic than that transition. It is also impossible for it to be out of your control to die. You cannot die until the minute that your physical self agrees to do so and therefore resonates with death. Death feels wonderful, no matter who you are or what you have done in your physical life. Even though it is easy to get caught up in a lack of awareness and therefore crave linear justice of default karma (heaven or hell), there is no punishment or reward waiting for you in the form of a life or place once you die—regardless of what you have done in this life. Heaven and hell are concepts that manifest in the physical dimension. They are right here on earth. Hell is not a place; it is a state of mind that becomes the suffering you are living being created and drawn to you by the law of attraction. It feels terrible because it is the farthest resonance you can find in the opposite direction of resonance with Source. Hell is not a resonance that is compatible with Source; it is the feeling of being completely unaccompanied by Source and therefore your higher self in the thought that you are thinking and the things that you are doing. It is still subject to the law of attraction, but you cannot find resonance with Source in that moment. This may seem like a paradox, because you create with your mind, and what you think about is. Therefore, if so many people are thinking of hell, it is logical that then it must be. However, the entire purpose of physical life and the physical dimension in general is to help Source know itself by becoming exactly what it is we dream up for it to be with our wanting. No one wants things that are the vibrational equivalent of negativity. Those vibrations simply exist in the physical dimension (as well as in thoughts coming from the physical dimension) to cause us to clarify and therefore focus on what we want the universe to evolve into. When we die, all there is is what we have wanted. When we are alive and living in hell, all there is is the focus on what we do not want. Hell is a concept that belongs to those searching for justice from a space of very limited understanding. Hell is what people who try to find security in forcing the external world to be 31 Teal Scott one way or another use in the attempt to scare people into good behavior and away from bad behavior. As long as any negative emotion, such as fear, is the motivation to do (or not do) something, that motivation does not come from a pure energetic vibration, and therefore, it is not genuine or lasting. The devil is also a character that does not exist. Like hell, the devil is a fictional idea—a thought form that is projected from the mind of people who are physically manifested. It is a concept—like hell—that was invented by the human mind (not Source’s mind) as a tool in social and political affairs in order to control others with fear as well as relieve one’s self of responsibility. At the time that the concept of the devil came about, many leaders sought to gain power through religion. And as such, all non believers, infidels, and heretics (people who were thought to threaten total control) were to be associated with the devil and made to be the enemy of God as well as a threat to the eternal souls of others. This meant immediate condemnation by association for those thought to be in contact with the devil. Even though the association was assumed, it was believed that their souls would go straight to hell. Much like the death penalty—which is still a practice of modern society today—they were put to death under the belief that they would meet with justice in hell and that death is the worst thing that could happen to a person. In all actuality, like everything else that is manifested physically, they simply were put to death only to rejoin the unfiltered, transcendental positive energy and vantage point of Source. In fact, death is a far, far cry from the worst thing a person can experience. If the majority of people knew that, however, they would most likely stop condemning our most hardened criminals to it. As you can probably guess by now, heaven—like hell—is also not a place. Heaven is a state of mind that comes from the bliss you are living in your physical life, which is the direct result of your thoughts. Heaven is a state achievable by those who are able to follow the north star of their own emotions so consistently that resistance to that guidance is not felt within them. While you are living, it is the state of holding the closest energetic resonance to that of source. It is the feeling you will all have once you die. 32 Chapter 5: Beyond the Veil May you come to understand that your open eyes deceive you. What you see is but a fraction of what is. Beyond the veil of this dimension, you will see that you have never arrived. You have never departed. There is no beginning or end to that which is you. It is a choice one can make at any moment to open oneself to what lies beyond the veil of normal perception. What creates the veil in the first place is the belief that it is there. Over the years, the most attention with regards to the unseen has been dedicated to the subject of ghosts, angels, and guides. There is a debate over whether they exist or not, as well as what they are and what purpose they serve. Let it be known that they do exist. All three are examples of a Tulpa, which is a manifestation of mental energy. People could accurately call this a thought form. A thought form is a thought that has enough energy to become a configuration, shape, or visual appearance. It may manifest in a non-static way or utilize other energetic vibrations to help itself to manifest. The idea of you is a Tulpa—the essential form of your personality, appearance, likes, and dislikes—who the physical you is. A ghost is an exiting Tulpa. I call it an exiting Tulpa because it is not a Tulpa that exists because the focused energy of a higher self is now creating it. It is a residual or thought that was once focused. A ghost Tulpa exists when a person leaves behind his or her physical body, and just as that person joins back with their higher self, he or she leaves behind the energetic vibration of the thought of himself or herself in relation to this life and the thoughts that did not resonate with the energetic vibration of Source. These types of Tulpas resonate very strongly with the physical dimension, so they often have attachment to a physical object, person, or place by way of resonating with it. These thoughts have enough energy that they can not only assume some version of physical manifestation in the form of an image, but also sometimes in the form of being able to 33 Teal Scott manipulate what is physical (poltergeist activity). These Tulpas can act out unfinished business in many forms. But just like a body decays, they tend to lose their energy over time if someone is not lending energy to them by focusing on them. Ghosts are not people whose souls have become stuck somewhere between life and death. These thought forms, however, can be interacted with and helped to de-manifest. You have most likely heard of a medium helping a ghost cross over into the light. This happens when a medium (who has a vibrational resonance high enough that he or she is able to interpret the energetic vibration of a Tulpa as a sight or sound) is offering energetic thought vibrations that influence this thought form to change its energetic vibration and therefore resonate with Source. When it does this, it goes through a process of de-manifestation that retracts it through the primary manifestation stage of light. This form of an exiting Tulpa is highly dependent on its surroundings to be able to manifest. It can only do so, for example, if the person who died had a lot of energy when he or she died, the place that person now attaches to or died has inherently a lot of energy, the planets are in certain alignment so as to lend enough energy to earth itself (like during a full moon), the circumstances in which he or she died commanded a large amount of energy, living people have given a lot of attention to its existence, or someone around him or her is capable of holding a high enough resonance to be able to interact with him or her. Whenever the feeling you get off of a Tulpa is a negative one, you are dealing with a residual thought form of the person and the vibrational state that the person left behind. It is not the person’s soul. It does not have direct connection to the Source part of the person who left it behind. The higher self (source energy) that left it behind does not miss its body or its Tulpa. If, however, the higher self wanted to have direct connection with its Tulpa again, it could do so by re-resonating with it. If it did this, it would now be an entering Tulpa. It only chooses to do this if it is beneficial. It does this occasionally to attend physical births or deaths of people it was close to in order to aid in the process of death or birth. Occasionally, it will do this to aid a person who is struggling or suffering in life to lend support to him or her when support would best be lent by the person he or she was familiar with. When a portion of Source is in the physical form that goes by your name, your point of view is that of physical form. It means that the vibrational resonance you hold is at a dense enough frequency to make 34 The Sculptor In The Sky you a physical form. Due to the law of attraction, you are an energetic vibrational match to other things that are holding a resonance dense enough to make them physical forms. This is why most people alive today only perceive that which is physical with their five traditional senses. They often perceive what is not physical through their emotions alone, which is the sixth sense. The entire purpose of emotion is to keep the body in touch with its higher self (its nonphysical aspect). Most babies have not entirely taken on a purely physical resonance. They see thought form as well for a time until they train themselves into such resonance with physical that they lose the frequency that allowed them to see thought forms. When a person is in the process of death and he or she withdraws his or her focus from the energetic vibration of the physical, he or she will again be able to perceive thought form. The person may begin talking to loved ones he or she knew once, because the person (in his or her new resonance) now sees them there. Occasionally, a person can grow up with his or her vibrational frequency maintaining resonance with more than just the physical. In fact, that is the dominant intent of many of the new children being born today. This can happen at birth and be maintained from birth—or, for example, it can happen as a result of a near-death experience. It can also be learned. If a person makes it his or her intention in the life he or she is living to find an energetic vibration that resonates with thought form, he or she can have what you would call clairaudient or clairvoyant experiences. There is no veil between the physical and the non-physical. In truth, there is no distinction between the physical and the non-physical other than the mind of the perceiver. As for guides and angels, they are true projections of Source into a thought form for a purpose. They are, in a sense, entering Tulpas. Sometimes it is of extreme benefit to Source to create entities that assist those in the physical to create and be. Because they can help a physically manifested being find resonance with what it wants and its original purpose—and perhaps, more importantly, because they help—the physical become aware of and therefore resonate with Source. To become aware of your higher self and resonate with Source is to truly thrive in your physical existence. More evolution comes in the universe of a thriving physical existence than ever came of a suffering physical existence. We become an energetic vibrational match to guides who are masters in the lessons, abilities, and problems that we are engaged in. They aid our growth. They never see us in the light of success or failure. 35 Teal Scott They have a completely objective view. Just like Source, they are only of service to our highest good. These entities gain and learn from the experience of this being as well. Their evolution is best served by a format that is not expressed in the physical, which is why they chose to project into thought form but not physical form. They may choose to convey a name to you, because it is easier for a person who is experiencing a physical existence and point of view to relate to a singular being than a thought form that is not singular (as some are not). They know the truth of non-separation, so some will not give a name because it is their wish to convey the truth of oneness. They are everywhere, they are wonderful, and you can learn to find energetic vibrational resonance with them and experience them with your senses as well, if it is your desire to do so. They can almost always perceive us better than we perceive them. To them, there is no time and no space as we perceive time and space to be. They are often able to manipulate electric currents. Developing intuition is very important if it is your desire to experience them as an entity. Most often, their messages are felt as our own knowledge, our own thinking, or an unexplainable sensation. To be able to experience them, one must learn to alter their own energetic vibration to find resonance with theirs (a very high vibration), which is a vibration that is usually out of range of our own. Guides may choose to portray a personality and life story that you relate to. Often this takes the form of a projection in the form of an image of themselves from a past life you both lived in the physical together. It is just a point of relation (resonance with you in this life). Angels are also a type of guide. Often they are the least manifested— and therefore, the most vibrationally resonated—with source itself. Though they do not often project themselves with the image of wings, the traditional image of a person with wings is an image they have chosen that has helped people identify what they are and their purpose. They use the imagery of wings because wings have long been a symbol for humans of the messenger. It was even more so the symbol of a spiritual messenger when Judeo-Christianity came about. It was a symbolic image that resonated very strongly with the people who were alive at that time. Because of the overwhelming Christian influence that still exists today, this is still a symbolic image that speaks to people of their purpose. They can and do still show up in this way if it is the format that will best be received by whomever they are relating with. They very much want you to know that they have information for you from Source itself. And when 36 The Sculptor In The Sky they lower their resonance to the level of physical understanding, they will communicate with a person in a wide variety of ways. One cannot address the idea of interdimensional communication without approaching the subject of intuition and psychic abilities. Psychic ability is basically the ability to perceive information hidden from the five immediately obvious, three-dimensional, physical senses such as sight, taste, sound, touch, and smell. For some, the very word “psychic” is charged with negative associations. Over the years (as it usually happens with enigmatic concepts that suggest there is more than what immediately meets the eye), it has become a term that some have lumped in with pseudoscience and self-delusion. It is an unfortunate reaction that cuts people off from their true nature, because everything that is in existence is an interpretation of what is ultimately an energetic vibration. There is much more information being received and broadcast than what is physically visible (logic-based). We are all interpreting energy to beable to even form a three-dimensional reality out of that energy. Therefore, it is within everyone’s capability to be psychic. In fact, everyone is psychic; most people just either don’t have conscious awareness of it or are so accustomed to it that they attribute their insights to common sense when it would not actually be common sense for anyone else. You would be hard-pressed to actually find someone who has never had an extrasensory experience. The problem starts when a person is exposed to an experience that is undeniable but seems to fit outside the box of understanding that makes up his or her current reality. The universe has provided that person with a gift—an opportunity for expansion and ascension past his or her current understanding. However, people tend to be fear-based, and getting outside the box of our own understanding seems very uncomfortable to us. The choice is to either proceed into the unknown or to limit oneself to what already is. Often a person will then take this undeniable experience and attempt at all costs to rationalize it and cram it into the box of his or her current reality—one that fits this person’s definition of what is possible and what is not. Logical reasoning muffles the internal voice of intuition that is always there—whether we listen to it or not. That which is nonphysical or spiritual in nature is always operating—whether a person believes in it or not. An intuition is an internal knowledge without any conscious awareness about how you have that knowledge. Instincts are an example of intuition. Intuition is as natural as our other physical senses and as natural as emotion. 37 Teal Scott To be able to consciously access and interpret information in energy that is non-manifestational in nature at will is different. This is when intuition—which is natural—becomes a cultured skill you can use to your benefit as well as the benefit of all that is. It can become quite difficult and require great skill to operate on a level of awareness of energy that is not physical in nature (therefore in accordance with oneness) and decipher what source the energy is coming from as well as separate the energy of one thing from the energy of another. The accuracy of psychic impression relies heavily on the ability to achieve an unbiased state. But with conscious attention, intuition can get to the point that one can search for and subsequently tune in to specific energetic vibrations exactly like someone would tune to a channel on a radio station. There are many people who can consciously read energy that exists beyond the third (tangible) dimension. Energetic imprints are often left in places where a high-energy event took place. People can tune into that event, even when a large measure of time has passed since the event occurred. People can read energy on objects, interpret energy fields around physical things visually, hear things that are not within physical hearing range, and pick up information telepathically and empathically. They can channel energy that is not manifested in the physical by first tuning into it and then allowing themselves to act as an objective interpreter for the energy so that energy can express itself in the physical through that person. It is even possible for some to read the future, because everything in the future is an exact energetic match to what a person is thinking in the present. The thoughts that you are thinking right now cook up the cocktail that will be your future. A future reading is not the foretelling of a future that is set in stone; it is, in fact, nothing more than a deciphering of probabilities. If a person’s thoughts change, then his or her future will, too. What gives some clairvoyants tremendous accuracy in predicting the future is that people are very often habitual creatures and do not change their thought patterns, even though they have the opportunity to do so at any point in their lives. A premonition is a kind of insight into what you are creating right now with your current thoughts. Indeed, the probable outcome is that an energetic vibrational match to what the thoughts of society or even the human race are thinking will often be received as a premonition through dreams. Dreaming is a mode in which the brain is in a state of non-judgment and is therefore much more able to receive vibrational 38 The Sculptor In The Sky information that goes beyond the physical. Energy is constantly being absorbed and transmitted through our nervous system. The energetic vibrations in and around us are constantly being processed in us through thoughts, emotions, and even our physical bodies. Psychic information comes to different people in different forms that people often do not re
