Levels of Consciousness

First topic message reminder :

In your opinion how many levels of consciousness are there?
Depending on who you are talking to this number can vary tremendously. I've heard everything from 3 to infinity.
Do you believe these levels of consciousness are proportional to our ability to exist in other dimensions?
Do you believe in other dimensions?

Simple answer. Yes

Interestingly, I am currently reading a book by Frank DeMarco titled Muddy Prints.  It is his experience when he went to the Monroe Institute for training on seeing/finding different dimensions.  He journals his entire experience there.  According to him (and Monroe) anyone can learn to recognize different dimensions, I'd add with the right teacher.  

There are numerous, probably countless techniques.  Monroe is just one.

Just a question linen. What is that the author writes about. As people tend to blend dimensions and densities as one and the same, but they are destinctly different.

I can experience other dimensions right now while in my human form. However, I must relieve myself of the restrictions that bind me to the physical parts of being human. Such as 
(Time, Right, Wrong, Good, Evil, Night, Day, Negative, Positive, Rich, Poor, Gravity, Air, Water, Wet) just to name a few. These descriptions were formulated by other people as a unit of measure. 

What if there was nothing to measure? 
If I can envision an existence without these little units of measurement then I AM (spirit) can move beyond these limitations.

Most of these seems to me to be part of duality. Densities are levels of consciousness and dimensions are different layers of realities which we can perceive only with higher levels of consciousness.

I agree there are levels of  consciousness which is all about the mind, elevation and awareness . My spirit is not limited to mind or the body.  Once I realized spirit can exist outside the body, Astral travel is then possible.  Another person might ask what happens to the body when the spirit is not present.  The answer to that question is: the body is dormant.  One doesn't have to be sleeping or laying down to have experienced OBE, the most amazing thing is the body is somehow protected.

I think a fundamentally new way of thinking is in order.

Buddhism, Christianity, Shamanism, Zoroastrianism, etc, have had thousands of years to bring change, and just look at the world today.   Does it look like the result of thousands of years of positive spiritual practices to you?    It looks to me like the only 'practice' that has brought positive change has been the practice of science and that is highly debatable, having arguably brought as much disaster as improvement, and even the 'improvements' are not benefiting all of humanity, not by a long shot.

So what has spirituality been doing wrong?    Having meditated deeply on this subject, I believe it is the concept of 'levels' which implies a valuation of spiritual over physical cognition and action, the direct result of which has largely been people turning their backs on physicality as soon as they attain some extra-physical perception.

This is why I much prefer to think of the different perceptual awarenesses as 'perspectives'.  The spiritual perspective, and the physical perspective.   The personal perspective and the impersonal perspective.  The dual perspective and the nondual perspective.   The unitary perspective and the unitive perspective.   The 3D perspective and the 5D perspective.   It goes on and on, all I am convinced looking at the exact same things, but in entirely different ways.

The truth is that it was all created.   It all exists, so it therefore has a reason to exist.    The spiritual perspective exists for a reason.   Physicality exists for a reason.   The astral exists for a reason.  The 5th dimension exists for a reason.   The acorn is just as important as the oak tree, for without acorns there can be no oak trees, and without oak trees there can be no acorns.    It is all perfectly in line with the Emerald Tablet, though the wording of it (As above, so below) gives unfortunate implications that are a reflection of our old counterproductive ways of thinking and acting.    It is a mirror that has been staring right back at us for millennia.
