Communication and Consciousness

We are often granted glimpses of five-dimensional communication in this life, writes S D Anugyan

Pieter Bruegel the Elder: The Tower of Babel

Not so long ago I told a friend that I had mentioned a business idea of his to another, mutual friend. He was upset that I had done so, berating me for – apparently – betraying a confidence. I was puzzled by this, as the two entrepreneurs were friends, by no means rivals and, indeed, frequently collaborated. Even more puzzling was how hurt I was at this reaction, and I realised it had happened before with other people.

Eventually I realised what was happening, that it was rooted in my spending the first part of my adult life in spiritual communes of one sort or another, beginning with the Findhorn community in Scotland and culminating in Osho communes. In these places, sharing was spontaneous and unreserved, ‘putting thoughts into the ocean’ as it were, unless stipulated otherwise e.g. ‘This is strictly between you and me…’ Networking was thus extraordinarily effective. Once I was visiting a city when someone else from the ashram was also there. I knew within hours – which the people I was staying with found impressive – ‘amazing networking’ was the comment. But for us, of course, that was quite the norm.

On reading various accounts from people who have ‘passed over’, either through near-death experiences or channelling through a medium, I was struck by the consistencies in descriptions of communication. Anita Moorjani in Dying to Be Me talks about the instantaneousness of it, as do those who have completely moved to the next world (through mediums).

Plundering my Secret Library of Beyond, which is rich in accounts from NDEs and the physically deceased, I find this explanation for the ease of otherworldly communication:

We have one world. You live in a restricted aspect of it; I, in an unlimited aspect. Our worlds are concurrent, inhabiting the same ‘space’ and ‘time.’

– More Alive Than Ever… Always, Karen, by Jeanne Walker

Karen, through the medium of her mother, expounds further that we are in the same universe whether ‘alive’ or ‘dead’; though from her perspective it is as if those two terms should really be swapped around, for she feels ‘more alive than ever’. The reason for this, is that she is part of the unobstructed universe, and we are in an obstructed part of it.

It struck me that spiritual communes are effectively training us for the next stage after death, whilst still emphasising this life we are in now. There are numerous ways to do this, and obtaining great wisdom and joy herewith, but it is the nature of (effectively five-dimensional, in my parlance) communication I am focusing on here.

I often refer to the rotes as described by Robert Monroe in Far Journeys. These are thought-packages, which one being can toss to another, relaying all the information they wish to convey in an instant. We make some attempts at these in our linear world, such as by way of metaphors. I also note how brief references evolve from a collective memory. As an example, the lead character in an episode of the exceptional TV show Wonderfalls exclaims at some point, ‘I’m the one being single-white-femaled!’ Few viewers are likely to understand the reference to the movie Single White Female from the last century, but somehow the essence of what she is trying to say is conveyed. And as a bonus, I’ve noticed Gen Z’ers reaching for their phones when a phrase comes up on TV they don’t understand. Instant elucidation. (I consider the internet a substitute five-dimensional communication device.)

Yet we struggle on a daily basis. Practical communications are mostly fine, but anything deeper or more complex often gets misconstrued. We can each recall numerous times when we have misunderstood, or been misunderstood. According to one theory there may be a reason for this. Surprisingly, that theory was outlined in a cyberpunk book called Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson many years ago. In it, as a subplot of the book, he explores how the story of the Tower of Babel has other interpretations than the biblical, such as from Sumerian sources.

According to the theory, up until that point humanity had a proto-language where there was complete unity between what was being said and what was being meant. This seems wonderful, but it also meant that human brains were like computer hard drives without any virus protection – anyone could access and control them at a whim, and they did. The Sumerian gods / aliens / beings had managed to enslave humanity through this system. Then one of the gods Enki took compassion on humanity, and initiated something called a nam-shub, which is like a spell, or a computer programme, that shut down the openness in human minds, so that they could operate on their own free will – whilst also, unfortunately, losing the ability to speak a common language.

When five dimensions come into play, these restrictions apparently no longer apply. In that remarkable channelled book More Alive Than Ever… Always, Karen, already quoted from, Karen advises how what she calls ThoughtForms can be used to manifest our desires benignly:

ThoughtForms are universal language more powerful than words. You already have a hint of this on your plane. Nonverbal symbols – pictures, music – can make more direct impact on your consciousness than can words.

Visual imagery alone is only partially effective. ThoughtForms use all of the senses and more. Abstract thought can acquire an actual shape. This involves a three-part process: creating, waiting, and sending.

Ibid

These ThoughtForms seem synonymous with rotes, yet she is explaining how to use them for much more than communication – although one can argue that they are communicating with the universe. ‘Of all the possible ways of improving individual consciousness through sharing frequency, how do we decide what to choose?’ asks her mother.

Choose according to purpose. Plant, animal, and human give needed biological essence. Atomic, solar, electrical, and other such forms of consciousness offer cosmic frequencies, powerful but alien. Be cautious in your use of these. Use ThoughtForms. They are the most efficacious, forceful, compatible.

Ibid

Effectively, Karen is showing us how we can integrate communication and consciousness of the unobstructed universe into our obstructed one.

Dolphins and other creatures may be ahead of us here. Five-dimensionally, forward motion embodies backward; hence, soundwaves going from a source should include a retrograde motion. John C. Lilly, as I recall (it’s a while since I read the book) in The Mind of a Dolphin, discovered just how complex dolphin communication was. He found that when they were talking to each other in the confines of a swimming pool, they would chatter away, but include in their conversation the soundwaves echoing off the walls. Not only that, but as the reflected waves bounced back, they interacted with the waves still going forth from the dolphin, thus creating a third pattern. The dolphins were anticipating and working with this. Therefore, there were at least three conversations going on simultaneously. Think how hard that is for us to achieve in any social gathering, even with two! Furthermore, think of how whales use infrasound to communicate across oceans with their complex songs. As more visual creatures, we may be missing out on quite a lot.

The development of mobile phones and the internet may seem to be leading the way for more effective global communication, and in some ways it is true. However, spend any time in a chat room or reading the comments lurking in the bottom half of the internet, you may despair at just how poor communication is becoming. As the comedian Frank Skinner stated, the one thing the internet has shown us is just how horrible people are. There is a reason for the appalling behaviour online though, and that is something called cue reduction. The same thing happens in cars, where our ways of communicating with each other are severely limited; we can’t pick up on subtle nuances and microexpressions as we do subliminally when meeting face to face. Limited to a few light signals and the odd hand gesture, frustration can build up in difficult situations and often explode in what we call road rage. It is similar with emails, text messages etc., hence the unexpected tirade from someone for a perceived slight in a chain of comments. This is not communication, except in its most basic, primeval sense.

Those from the ‘other side’ often refer to communication as being a combination of the different senses rather than just auditory. So, is there a way we can possibly anticipate this inevitable stage in our existence; be prepared, as it were, whilst also enriching our lives with more effective ways to share?

In a way, we are already doing it by combining our different senses such as with images (visual) and text (auditory), as I often do when publishing essays online. As a teacher, I would attempt to combine these various senses in order to appeal to all the pupils, including the kinaesthetics (those who learn through touch) by allowing them to roam at will at the back of the class, hence not disturbing the others; and introducing physical exercises whenever possible, things to actually do, which is easy with science favouring hands-on experimental work as it does.

On a daily basis, it is wise to simply be aware of the cue reductions at play, and not allow frustrations to build, whether in a car, on the phone or the internet. With phone calls, only a portion of the human voice frequencies are represented, which is why some people sound completely different and we don’t recognise them. Again, make allowances for this, and also arrange to meet face to face whenever possible. Zoom and Skype conferences are incredibly painful for me, as they don’t convey the nuances of human expression well at all, so I do what I can to avoid them and – surprisingly, given recent trends – have mostly succeeded. Not everyone has the luxury of choice though, and I recommend limiting these conferences and calls, and simply being aware of the stress created in the body by them, doing something to de-stress afterward.

Another thing I would recommend is employed by Chinese healing routinely, and that is to listen to the sound of someone’s voice rather than the words. The Chinese method uses a system of elements – Fire, Water etc. – but you don’t need to do that, you can simply listen carefully to what is really being said. It is all there in the sound. At the back of a boastful person’s voice you may pick up on their insecurity, a parent’s concerns may be masking anger, a quiet person may actually be expressing great joy etc.

There is also body language, of course. For many like me with prosopagnosia (face blindness), situations such as during the pandemic where nearly everyone is wearing masks, pose no great problem as we’ve learned to identify as much as we can from posture, gait, clothes etc. It’s not infallible and can lead to embarrassing situations (some of which I described in my book Wrecking Ball), but it does mean we’re not so dependent on facial cues.

Finally, leaving behind the mundane, we are often granted glimpses of five-dimensional communication in this life. Next time you think of a friend you haven’t spoken to in years, just before they phone or email; or you share thoughts with another, unspoken; or you find yourself working so intensely with others, it is as if you have one mind – then one could say you are experiencing what is to come.

However, it is perhaps more accurate to say, you are expanding into the unobstructed universe.

Note: The book referred to several times above, More Alive Than Ever… Always, Karen, by Jeanne Walker, is a classic, highly revered in mystical circles. The TV show Unsolved Mysteries even did a feature on it. Unfortunately it is out of print, though it can be found online if you look hard enough.
