The Aethos and Non-dual States of Consciousness
A Hathor Planetary Message through Tom Kenyon
In this message we wish to discuss some of the
significant relationships between manifest reality and non-dual states
of consciousness.
Mind and Consciousness
Before we proceed, however, we would like to draw a distinction between the terms
consciousness and
mind as we use the words.
For us consciousness is transcendent to all phenomena and is not
bound by neurological activity in your nervous system. Furthermore,
consciousness is transcendent to both time and space, as you perceive
them. And it is through the vehicle of your consciousness that you can
travel through energetic vortices that lead outside the constraints of
embodied existence.
Mind, as we use the term, refers to the sensory, mental and emotional
experiences you have as a result of distinct changes in your nervous
system. Indeed, as you read these words, you are creating their meaning
through the agency of your physical brain and nervous system. You are
creating the meaning of our words through the
window of your mind, but this window is both created and constrained by the limitations of your nervous system.
Our messages are linguistically coded, and at various locations in
the syntax (order) of our communications there are
vortices—wormholes—through which you can temporarily transcend your mind
and enter into the infinite mystery of consciousness.
How We View Higher Dimensions
In our experience of ourselves, we exist within multiple dimensions
of consciousness, and depending upon our level of personal evolution we
manifest in the fourth through the twelfth dimensions. Through the ninth
dimension we can alternate between our anthropomorphic form, which is
humanlike in appearance, or our light body.
As we shift into the 10th dimension all connections to our
anthropomorphic form dissolve. We become, for all intents and purposes,
geometric light forms. As we progress in our own personal evolution we
can express ourselves through the 10th, 11th and 12th dimensions in a
multitude of ways.
Each progression upward in consciousness brings with it a greater
understanding of the interconnectedness of all beings and all aspects of
the cosmos. The odd paradox of existence becomes clearly apparent as we
enter into the 10th Dimension.
Interconnectedness and Non-duality
We are sharing this information because something similar occurs for
you as you transit into the higher dimensions of your own being. In the
10th through the 12th Dimensions, awareness of interconnectedness
expands, as does an awareness of non-duality—
the Mother of All Things.
This is, indeed, the paradox of consciousness we mentioned earlier, and
it is one that has been addressed by some of your Perennial
Philosophies.
For us, the attainment of non-duality is not the final destination
but rather a cantilever to greater mastery and an understanding of how
to create benevolent outcomes.
How We View Non-duality
In a non-dual state of consciousness we, like you, experience a
disappearance of opposition. In non-dual states of consciousness,
duality—as it is experienced in relative existence—disappears, and we
enter into a great sense of centered awareness and serenity.
In the deepest states of non-duality there is only pure consciousness experiencing itself.
It is important to realize that non-dual states of consciousness are
relative to the perceiver. Thus, if you experience non-duality through
your heart chakra, you may very well experience
impersonal love—a deep sense of cosmic connection.
Indeed, in this state of union between non-duality and the heart, you
become infatuated, and for all intents and purposes, you fall in love
with the cosmos. And in that paradox of the heart, you become the
Beloved, and everything you see and witness is the
Beloved as well.
While this is a beautiful state of consciousness, it is not pure
non-duality. As you move upward into the higher chakras experiences of
non-duality change. When you reside in the crown chakra, non-duality is
experienced in its pure form—pure consciousness aware of itself. There
is no sense of a personal self in these higher dimensions of
non-duality.
The paradox of creation is that it unfolds from the purest states of
non-duality into the most polarized states of existence. Thus, in your
consciousness are the two seemingly conflicting states of relative
existence (i.e., your embodied life in time and space) and non-dual
states of consciousness in which all polarities and conflicts disappear.
Our perspective, as mentioned earlier, is that non-dual states of
consciousness are cantilevers to greater mastery of creation and not the
end point or the goal of evolution.
Interconnectedness vs. Oneness
It is here we feel it necessary to discuss an important distinction
between interconnectedness and the concept of “oneness.” We do not view
these two terms interchangeably. There are many different definitions of
“oneness” upon the Earth, and so it is not possible to address all the
subtleties and distinctions.
We will instead turn our attention to what we consider to be the
fundamental distinction. Some persons believe that interconnectedness is
the same as “oneness” and that as you enter higher states of
consciousness and higher dimensions of being, you merge into a blob of
light, in which all distinctions disappear. This is not our view.
Interconnection or interconnectedness is the recognition that all
beings and all aspects of the cosmos are interrelated and at the same
time beings have unique differences. These differences are fascinating
and unique. Sometimes they are annoying, and sometimes they are
enriching. But these differences are part of the tapestry of manifest
reality, and they are not superfluous.
One of the difficulties we see with the concept of “oneness,” as
currently propagated by some persons in the New Age and Personal Growth
communities, is that the unique differences between people are
denigrated and somehow because everything is “one,” appropriate
energetic boundaries between individuals can be, and often are,
disregarded. Furthermore, some individuals use this belief system (i.e.,
“oneness”) as an excuse to avoid personal accountability and
responsibility. In our experience of ourselves through all dimensions we
remain unique individuals, and the higher dimensions of our being do
not obliterate our uniqueness but rather present greater opportunities
for creation.
The Aethos
We now wish to share with you a means to access one of our greatest
cultural treasures, what we call the Aethos (pronounced, AH-EE-THOS)
. The Aethos is a bandwidth of consciousness anchored in pure non-duality.
When a Hathor enters into the 10th Dimension there are many
opportunities and ways of manifesting. Some of us choose to temporarily
join a community of vibration. This community consists of individual
Hathors in the 10th, 11th and 12th Dimensions. These individuals enter
into non-duality by their own volition and choose to remain, for a
period of time, in this vibration of consciousness for the benefit of
other beings.
Most individuals remain temporarily in the Aethos, while a few show
no signs of leaving. When a being enters into the Aethos all personal
distinctions are set aside. A being that is in the Aethos has no name.
All personal identity has been replaced by total immersion into
non-duality. These beings “hold” this vibration of non-duality for the
benefit of others because non-duality is
the Mother of All Things and the underlying fabric of all existence.
To be in the presence of an Aethos is to be raised upward into non-duality.
Your experience of being with an Aethos will differ from another’s
experience, based upon your own level of evolution and the issues in
duality that you are facing.
But regardless of how complex or difficult your personal issues may
be, being in the presence of an Aethos will elevate you, and that is why
we are sharing this information at this time.
For some of you who are highly advanced, simply hearing the name
Aethos, and understanding its non-dual nature, will be enough for you to
move into communion with non-duality through this means.
Many people, however, would find such a path, or method,
intrinsically difficult. And so we are offering a sound treasure to
assist you. This Sound Meditation is an analog of the light realms where
the Aethos resides.
The Aethos emits vibrations of light and these vibrations can be
stepped down into the audible range of human hearing. Thus, what you
will be hearing, when you listen to
The Aethos Sound Meditation, is a translation of light into sound. It is the harmonic essence of the Aethos as it manifests in the 10th Dimension.
We suggest you experiment with listening to this unique sound
treasure in various ways. The first way would be to listen to it with
your full attention on the sound. Allow the sound to be the primary
focus of your attention, and when your mind wanders bring it back to the
sound.
The second way to listen would be with your focus of attention on your heart chakra in the center of your chest.
Then listen to it with awareness in your throat chakra.
Next, listen to it with your focus of attention in your Third Eye (Ajna), located between your eyes at the bridge of your nose.
And then, finally, listen to
The Aethos Sound Meditation with your attention in your crown chakra at the top of your head.
Feel and sense the differences that arise when you listen to
The Aethos Sound Meditation from these various chakras. Most of you will find that it feels more natural to listen to
The Aethos Sound Meditation
with your focus of attention in one of your chakras. This chakra is the
focus we suggest you use when listening, in preparation for the sound
meditation that will occur during the upcoming World Meditation.
The Evolutionary Intelligence Test
From our perspective one of the signatures of an evolved
consciousness is the recognition of interconnectedness. This recognition
is an evolutionary intelligence test and your species is in the middle
of it. Humanity cannot continue to live, collectively, as it has
done—living in the delusion that humans can plunder the Earth with no
consequence to the Earth, to its myriad life forms or to humanity
itself.
The World Meditation
The goal of the World Meditation is to add a
vibrational quality to the emotional atmosphere of your planet.
You have an inherent right to do so because you are embodied in time
and space, and because you are living temporarily upon this Earth. As a
resident of this planet, you have a right to encourage benevolent
outcomes.
The specific purpose of this World Meditation is to accelerate the
collective human recognition of interconnectedness and a passage from
the miasmas and delusions of humanity’s collective history into a new
constellation of cultural beliefs that will serve to unfold humanity’s
higher destiny. This will be done through the agency of your
imagination—the power of your will and intention—joined with the
creative potentials that reside in non-dual states of consciousness.
The date and time of this World Meditation will be November 4
th
between 3:00 and 4:00 PM PST (Pacific Standard Time). While the
meditation will be global, the nexus point of the energetic will be in
Seattle, Washington during the final hour of a Hathor Intensive we are
calling
The Art of Seeding New Realities.
For the duration of this meditation, the Aethos will enter into the
space that will be created by those attending the Intensive. And from
this nexus point, the Aethos will extend its energetic throughout the
world to all those who have chosen to join us in this undertaking (The
World Meditation).
It does not matter where on Earth you are physically located.
Furthermore, while the formal meditation in Seattle will begin at 3:00
PM and end at 4:00 PM, the energetic generated by the Aethos will
continue for twenty-five hours. In other words, the Aethos will continue
to emanate its energetic from the 10
th dimension to those individuals who have chosen to participate in the World Meditation from November 4
th 2012 at 3:00 PM PST to November 5
th 2012 at 4:00 PM PST.
You can join the World Meditation anytime during this twenty-five hour period.
In point of fact, you can also enter into this specific meditation
whenever you wish to “broadcast” the thought form of interconnectedness
to humanity. As you collectively enter the more intensive phases of
planetary transformation, those of you attuned to the reality of
interconnectedness will “know” when it is propitious to send this
thought form to your fellow humans through the agency of this particular
meditation.
When undertaking this meditation, it is important to understand that
you are not directly affecting the outcome of events, but rather you are
“broadcasting” a benevolent thought form to the human collective. What
individual humans choose to do, or not do, in relation to the
realization of interconnectedness, however, is in the sovereign
providence of each individual.
Furthermore, the Aethos does not and is, in fact, incapable of
intervening into human consciousness. A human person must choose to
enter into a vibratory alignment with the Aethos. In other words, the
Aethos does not take actions. It simply emanates its nature, which is
non-dual consciousness.
The Actual Meditation
During the meditation we suggest you begin by listening to
The Aethos Sound Meditation
for thirty minutes. During this phase, your focus of attention is in
your heart chakra unless you intuitively sense that it would be better
for you to place your attention in another chakra.
After listening to the
Aethos Sound Meditation, simply be in
silence with your awareness in your heart chakra (or another chakra you
have chosen to work with). After a minute or so of focusing in your
chosen chakra, imagine that some part of you (i.e. your
KA or “etheric double”) rises above you wherever you are physically located on the Earth. Imagine and sense that this
second you, which looks exactly like the
physical you,
floats to a position sixty miles above the planet, where you join hands
with others all across the Earth who have joined in the meditation.
This joining of hands is a symbolic representation of the thought
form we are calling “interconnectedness.” This is the recognition and
the acknowledgement that all humanity is interconnected and that this
interconnectedness exists simultaneously along side the unique
differences of all individuals.
The one you may be joining hands with could very well live in a far
distant area of the Earth from you. He or she may have a different view
of reality. He or she may follow a different religion than you or follow
no religion at all. The person you are holding hands with may be facing
challenges very different than those you are facing, due to his or her
location on the Earth and the culture he or she must conform to. And yet
in spite of all these differences you are interconnected.
Joining you in this sea of interconnectedness will be the Devic
kingdoms, the spirits of the Earth, the elementals, and the myriad life
forms upon your Earth, as well as the Earth herself. For those of you
who are aware of multiple dimensions you may very well experience a
joining with intergalactic intelligences as well as with cosmic bodies,
including the Sun and the Central Sun—the black hole that forms the
center of your galaxy.
We realize that some of you reading this are so disheartened by the
quality and the state of humanity you may find it difficult, if not
impossible, to join hands with fellow humans. If you are one of these
persons we suggest you join hands with the nature spirits, and you will,
by this action, be adding to the potency of the transformation.
Preparation For The World Meditation
If you choose to join us in the World Meditation, we ask that you begin to work with
The Aethos Sound Meditation
on a regular basis. The purpose of this preparatory work is so that you
become familiar with the states of consciousness produced in you by the
Aethos.
If you are dealing with difficult issues in your life, we suggest you listen to
The Aethos Sound Meditation
at least once a day. This is to assist you to move into a different
state of consciousness, and from this perspective your issues will
decrease and/or your ability to deal with them will increase.
The net result of this is that you will be elevated, and we need as
many elevated individuals as possible to join the World Meditation. Let
us put this another way…if you are riddled with personal toxicity, work
with
The Aethos Sound Meditation every day, first for your own benefit and, secondly, for the world
sangha (community).
You are, by the way, welcome to listen to
The Aethos Sound Meditation and use it as a personal transformational tool even if you do not plan to join the World Meditation.
The Aethos Sound Meditation: Final Reflections
It is with pleasure and great expectation that we present to you
The Aethos Sound Meditation. We trust that it will bring you a sense of serenity and a greater capacity to deal with the chaotic events of your world.
It is also our expectation that the Aethos will open a path to your
own non-duality, and that, as a manifest creator-being, you will bring
the two together—the uniqueness of your life and the power of
non-duality.
May this union be a boon to you and to all your relations.
The Hathors
September 20, 2012
Tom’s Thoughts and Observations
I find this particular Hathor message to be one of their more densely
packed bodies of information, and even after reading it multiple times I
still find new levels of insight.
There are several areas discussed, but I will confine my comments to
the Aethos and the Sound Meditation that will form the first part of the
World Meditation on Nov. 4
th.
The Aethos
My first encounter with the Aethos occurred about a year ago in preparation for a Hathor Intensive called
Transmissions of Light.
A few months before the event I was in one of my periodic existential
funks when one of my mentors escorted me through the realms to the 10
th dimension where he instructed me to just “sit” with the Aethos.
I was immediately calmed and soon entered what I recognized to be a
type of Samadhi (yogic trance) in which I began to sink deeper and
deeper into a non-dual state of consciousness. The agitation that had so
clearly commandeered my mind for several hours suddenly dissipated in a
matter of several minutes. And this, no small feat, had transpired just
by me “sitting” in the presence of the Aethos.
As the Hathors mention in this message, the idea of non-duality shows
up in various Perennial Philosophies, some of which can be traced back
to the Upanishads and the Bhagavad Gita of ancient India, the non-dual
teachings of various mystics and sages as well as the essential
teachings of Buddhism, to name but a few.
The Aethos I “sat” with was, as I said earlier, a 10th dimensional
Hathor, and whenever I sense this being clairvoyantly, I clearly see
“it” as a ball of light comprised of thirteen counter-rotating spheres
embedded within each other. My sense is that the ratios established by
these counter-rotating spheres combine to create a non-dual energetic,
which is what affected me so strongly.
I referred to this being as “it” because it has no sign of gender. Whereas the Hathors I have encountered in the 4
th through the 9
th dimensions have both a light body and a gendered
anthropomorphic form, the Hathors I have encountered in the 10
th, 11
th and 12
th dimensions present themselves solely as geometric light forms.
The Aethos Sound Meditation
When I recorded
The Aethos Sound Meditation, it was this 10
th
dimensional Hathor who guided me. From an engineering standpoint, it
was a fascinating experience. As I recorded each of the eight tracks
that comprise the recording, this being would alter my voice in distinct
ways and in distinct ratios to previously recorded sounds. After laying
down the foundation tracks I simply layered and looped them, according
to “its” guidance, in order to approximate the light fluctuations that
comprised “its” being. There was no electronic manipulation of the
sound—meaning that I did not alter the EQ in any way, nor was any reverb
or other effect applied to my voice. The sounds you hear in
The Aethos Sound Meditation are completely natural and devoid of any effect, as hard as it may be to comprehend after listening to it.
At the end of this message, you will find two links to two different
versions of this sound meditation. The first is 5 minutes and 4 seconds
long. It is a way for you to test the waters, so to speak, and I would
suggest you start with this one. See what unfolds for you in the short
five minutes it takes to listen.
Work with this five-minute audio file in the ways the Hathors
suggested. First just listen to it with your full attention on the
sounds. Then listen to it with your focus of attention in your Heart
Chakra (beneath your sternum and in the center of your chest). Then
listen to it with your attention in your Throat Chakra. Next listen to
it with your focus in your Third Eye (between your eyes at the bridge of
your nose), and then, finally, listen to it with your attention in your
Crown Chakra (at the top of your head). You might want to do these in
separate listening sessions to avoid “energetic overload.”
The second version is for those who are choosing to join the World Meditation on November 4
th
and/or for those who wish to enter into the presence of the Aethos for
longer periods of time. This second audio file is 30 minutes long, the
length of time the Hathors will be spending with the Aethos prior to the
symbolic holding of hands in the final stage of the World Meditation.
If you plan to join us in the World Meditation, I strongly urge you
to begin listening to this extended version well in advance of November 4
th. This is so you have experience with the various states of mind that the sound meditation produces in you.
Directions for The World Meditation
As the Hathors mentioned, the energetic of the Aethos will be
extended to all those participating in the World Meditation for a period
of twenty-five hours, beginning at 3:00 PM PST (Pacific Standard Time)
on November 4
th and ending at 4:00 PM PST on November 5
th.
This means you can enter into the meditation and join with the world
sangha (community) anytime during that twenty-five hour period. For the
precise time of the Meditation in Seattle for your time zone, you can
consult various world time sites, including
http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/
Begin the Meditation by listening to
The Aethos Sound Meditation
for 30 minutes. This is to raise your state of consciousness, and to
prime the pump of creation, since the Hathors contend that non-dual
states of consciousness are cantilevers to creative states.
Then you imagine that your
KA (your etheric double), or some
version of you, floats up to a position 60 miles above your location on
the planet. You then imagine holding hands with others around the
world. This joining of hands is an act of imagination signifying an
acknowledgment of interconnectedness. As the Hathors explained, this
type of interconnectedness does not negate our differences. It is
inclusive of them. The act of holding hands above the Earth acknowledges
that we are all interconnected, including other life forms and even
energetic intelligences as well.
How long you remain in this
imaginal state is up to you. I
would suggest at least 5 – 10 minutes. When your mind wanders, and it
most likely will, just bring your focus of attention back to the “you”
that is floating 60 miles above the Earth.
After you complete the World Meditation, it would be an ideal time to engage
The Sphere of All Possibilities
to energize whatever personal outcomes you wish to manifest. If you
have not read this Hathor Planetary Message, it would be good to do so
before the World Meditation.
If this is like other Hathor World Meditations in the past, it could
be an energetically charged experience. If you encounter a lot of
intensity during the meditation, it would be good to rest afterward,
even lying down if possible.
If you are so inclined, you can enter into the Meditation repeatedly
and as many times as you wish during the twenty-five hour period. Your
comfort zone would be the guide here.
Note: If you choose to work with the 30 minute
Aethos Sound Meditation, please download it to your computer and refrain from listening to it from our server. If too many people listen to
The Aethos Sound Meditation from our server, at any given time, the server may crash—keeping others from being able to hear or download it.
Please
do not depend on listening to this sound meditation on our website on
the day of the meditation. The server will not be able to “serve”
everyone. Download it before the day of the meditation.
Important Note: Do not listen to
The Aethos Sound Meditation in situations requiring alertness such as driving a car or while operating machinery.
To listen to these following two meditations, you must visit Tom's site at the address below ...and download in advance. Do not plan to listen to this from our site on the day of the meditation. You must download it ahead of time and be ready (scroll down to bottom to find these two meditations once on his page):
