Transition States of Consciousness

Transition
States of Consciousness

A Hathor Planetary Message
Through Tom Kenyon

Definitions

Chaotic Nodes are
clusters of chaotic events. According to the Hathors, Earth has entered a
Chaotic Node and, as a result, we can expect ever-increasing levels of
chaos—including but not limited to earthquakes, volcanic activity, aberrant
weather patterns, ecological distress, as well as economic, social and
political turmoil.

Transition States of Consciousness are what the Hathors call the in-between places when a major loss has
occurred and we find ourselves temporarily poised between an old reality that
has passed away and a new reality that has not yet fully formed.

Perceptual markers are a term the Hathors use to describe how we make sense of our world
and navigate through our lives using our five senses.

The Message

By their very nature Chaotic Nodes tend to generate transition states
of consciousness. Transition states of consciousness emerge when perceptual
markers disappear. And when this occurs you enter a null zone in
which your old reality no longer exists, or has changed radically, while your
new reality has not yet come into existence.

Due to the fact that you have entered an even more intense phase of the
Chaotic Node, we wish to share with you our views regarding transition states,
in the hopes that you will be able to utilize this knowledge for your own
benefit.

For our purposes we can divide transition states into three primary
categories: 1) personal transition states, 2) collective transition states and
3) physical death.

Personal Transition States

Let us turn our attention to personal transition states first, for your
personal perception is the pivotal point around which your perceived reality
operates.

Your perception of reality is fundamentally a personal creation. It is
influenced by the collective perception of your culture, time, place and
circumstance, but fundamentally your perception of what is real and not real is
a creation—your creation.

Your perception of reality depends upon habits of perception, if
you are like most persons. You are used to experiencing certain realities in
your life and these tell you where you are, so to speak. You wake up in the
morning and you look to the clock and the collective perception of time is
immediately before you. Your choice to engage this illusion, or not, is a
personal one. Indeed, one of the signs of spiritual mastery is the ability to
navigate cultural illusions successfully while clearly understanding their
nature.

When a situation in your personal life shifts dramatically there is a
tendency for the perceptual markers to disappear or re-organize themselves.

Let us present one possible scenario. If you have worked at the same job
for many years you have built your life around the demands of this position.
You eat lunch at a certain time. You return home at a certain time. You
interact with others in specific ways, tailored to fit the demands of your job.

If that job were suddenly removed, unexpectedly, those perceptual
markers would disappear. There would be no need to get up at a certain time,
eat at a certain time, return home at a certain time, and the people you
interacted with for the bulk of your waking hours would no longer be available
to you.

This situation is inherently disorienting for most people. Again, the
perceptual markers have disappeared.

The same phenomenon occurs when any radical shift in your personal life
takes place. If a relationship that is important to you suddenly ends the
perceptual markers of that relationship disappear, and you enter the transition
state of consciousness.

If you have a health crisis and your physical life is affected in
radical ways the perceptual markers disappear, and this can be disorienting.
You have entered a transition state of consciousness.

As the Chaotic Node increases in its intensity more and more persons
will experience the shock waves of their old reality crumbling before them.
What was certain in their lives is now uncertain. What was solid ground is seen
to be no longer solid. We mean this both figuratively and literally.

There is another wave of transition states that is emerging from this
Chaotic Node. It is already affecting many persons, but its affects will spread
out in consciousness much like a tsunami.

This particular transition state has to do with the collapse of the
collective lies of your culture. Increasingly more and more of you will see
behind the shadow play; you will sense the puppet masters, and although their
identities may elude you, you will see with increasing reality that aspects of
your culture are a manipulation, a limitation, and in many cases, downright
lies.

The lie that we are speaking to here is not the lie of economics, the
lie of wars, or the lie of confining religions, but the lie of your identity—a
lie that ensures your imprisonment. This lie is the belief and cultural
assertion that you are nothing more than a physical human being and that there
are, in fact, no other realms of being beyond your earthy experience.

The recognition of this lie is a harbinger of personal freedom, but in
its beginning stages it can be quite disorienting. This is because
multidimensional experiences are so different from your earthly day-to-day
experiences. If you find yourself marooned between your earthly and
multidimensional life, you have entered a transition state of consciousness.

Our purpose in sharing this information is to suggest a practical course
of action during transition states of consciousness.

When you personally enter a powerful transition state you might, like
many human beings, remain stuck in overwhelm. Many individuals find the shock
of realizing that their perceptual markers have disappeared, along with the
reality that they assumed to be real, deeply disturbing.

Due to the fact that time is accelerating—and by this we mean more
events taking place in less time—remaining in a state of shock or overwhelm is
a psychological indulgence which you cannot afford. The essential point we wish
to convey here is that regardless of the nature of the transition state,
whether it is personal in nature having to do with changes in your personal
life, or due to recognizing your cultural manipulation—you are the creator of
your reality.

You may have stories to explain why suddenly your life is bereft, but
these are just stories. You may blame other persons, situations, or institutions
for your problem, but this is misplaced responsibility. Your stories may be
true and there may be other persons, situations or institutions to blame, but
when you have entered a transition state of consciousness, you are at the
central vortex of a powerful creative process. There is no reason or need to
cry over “spilt milk” as one of your folk sayings goes. What is lost is lost.
What is gone is gone.

Now the central question becomes, “What will you do?”

Will you remain stunned, in shock, in overwhelm, anger and sadness? Or
will you step into your identity as a creator of your life?

To those of you who choose to remain in lower states of consciousness,
we have no comment.

Our comments are for those of you courageous enough and bold enough to
step into your identity as creators. If you are one of these, here is what we
suggest.

When everything disappears, meaning the perceptual markers of your
former reality, understand that you have entered into a void point.

A void point is a critical transition between an old reality and a new
one. That which was, has ended. Instead of regretting the loss, you accept the
void. This is, for many persons, a challenging undertaking, because in the void
point there is nothing that can be done. You must simply be a witness to it,
and to yourself, for in this no-man’s land there are no perceptual
markers.

Be careful what new markers you put into place, for these ideas and
beliefs will be the stars in the new sky of your mind, and you shall navigate
your way into these new times by the stars (thoughts and beliefs) that you have
placed in the heavens of your own consciousness. So be wise when you go about
creating new stars, our fellow navigators of the Mystery.

Collective Transition States of Consciousness

The human collective, from our perspective, is currently like an immense
cosmic serpent shedding its old skin, writhing and twisting, scraping off old
encumbrances. Some of these take the form of economic turmoil. Some of them are
political in nature. Some of them are the collapse and transformation of
cultural institutions. And some of these writhings and twistings are related to
earthquake and volcanic activity, as well as aberrant weather patterns.

As natural and manmade disasters increase, more and more of you will
find yourselves entering transition states of consciousness. Obviously those
who experience an earthquake, volcano or destructive weather directly are the
most prone to enter transition states, but those of you who are empathic in
nature can experience the brunt of a natural or manmade disaster as if you were
physically present.

Indeed as the veil that separates human consciousnesses from one another
dissolves, more and more of you will experience the changes taking place in the
world at a visceral level.

We now wish to address the question of a new creation for those of you
who may find yourself in the aftermath of a natural or manmade disaster, such
as an earthquake, a volcanic eruption, or destructive weather patterns.

If the destructive force is strong enough, the perceptual markers of
your former reality may no longer exist. Your home or place of business may no
longer be there. You may find yourself dealing with shortages of food and
water, and there are any number of variables that can come together to create a
state of shock and overwhelm.

We wish to be very clear in what we are about to say. Shock and
overwhelm in the face of disasters are a natural mammalian response, and if you
are to transcend and transform the moment you must reach upward to higher
dimensions of your own existence, your own being, to those realms of
consciousness that are beyond time and space.

To the extent that you are able to incorporate the transcendent aspects
of your being as part of the equation for your survival, you will be able to
mitigate the shock and overwhelm.

The central feature that needs to be identified in the midst of chaos, any
form of chaos, is the portal of opportunity.

This opportunity for survival or for a new life may present itself in
ways you do not expect. This is because the perceptual markers are no longer in
place and your consciousness may not recognize an opportunity when it presents
itself.

There is a deep-seated human habit, or tendency, that wishes to conform
new realities to those of the past. This would be an unfortunate habit to
engage in these situations.

There is much we could say about the hyper-dimensional realities
involved in choice making during chaotic events, but we wish to “cut to the
chase” and give that which will be most practical. Perhaps some other time we
can share with you our philosophical musings about your infinite nature and the
infinite possibilities that reside within you. However, for now, let us be a
little simplistic and give you a formula to recognize and create opportunities
for new life and a new destiny when they present themselves to you.

Assuming that you have entered a transition state of consciousness and
that you have befriended the void point and are more or less comfortable with
the great uncertainty of your situation, this is what we suggest.

Be curious and expect miracles.

By entering a state of curiosity you engage an aspect of your mind that
is free to move unfettered by expectation. It becomes very much like the mind
of a child, and it is this innocence—which is not the same as childishness—that
allows you to enter a vibratory state of consciousness, which greatly benefits
you.

By holding the expectation of miracles you release the power of creation
within you, and to the extent that you accomplish this you will find increasing
incidences of serendipity, coincidences of benefit and unexpected treasures,
whether they be physical in nature or mental and emotional.

This combination of curiosity about what will happen next joined with an
expectation of miracles will move you rapidly from the void point to a new
life, a new creation, regardless of what might be happening for those around
you.

During collective transition states of consciousness it is helpful to
remember that each person is the creator of his or her own reality, and in the
midst of chaos people will make different choices and enter different personal
realities.

Do not be swayed by those who enter lower vibratory realms. You cannot
save them from themselves. Look upward and live upward with curiosity and an
expectation of miracles, and even in the gravest of situations miracles can,
and will, occur for you.

Physical Death

One of the greatest difficulties for embodied beings is the transition
state of consciousness you call death. This is due to the fact that all
perceptual markers, including the five senses, disappear. If a person
identifies solely with his/her material existence, he or she will find this
transition state to be most difficult. This is because what she or he
identified with no longer exists.

Although the physical world continues on, there is no input into
consciousness from the five senses. It is as if the world has vanished and the
body along with it. The great I Am, the central feature of transcendent
consciousness, no longer receives information from the body, the five senses,
or the external world. This can be deeply disturbing and disorienting for
someone who has not directly experienced the other realms of his or her being.

Metaphorically speaking, you are like a vast tree, a Tree of Life,
with many branches and many, many leaves and blossoms, and your current
physical existence is just one of these leaves and one of these blossoms.

When a person passes through the transition state of consciousness you
call death there are several options. If you are in a spiritual tradition the
central figure of which is a guru, avatar or savior, you can follow the path of
this being into the vibratory realm of his/her consciousness. In some religions
this is known as heaven.

If you follow the path of a guru, avatar or savior understand that you
are entering into his/her heaven, her/his vibratory attainment, and by
necessity you enter also into his/her limitations in consciousness.

From our perspective the universe is infinite in nature, and by this we
refer not to external space but to the interdimensional realities of your
universe, and there is no single being in existence, from our experience, who
understands and embraces all that is.

If, however, you wish to join your guru/avatar/savior in the death
realms we have a few suggestions. One is to mentally call upon his/her name.
This is an ancient understanding encapsulated in the Egyptian term Ren,
meaning name. When you call upon the name of a spiritual being an aspect of
him/her is compelled to move toward you.

If, in that moment of encountering your guru/avatar/savior, he or she
deems you worthy, you will be taken by him/her into his/her heavenly realm.

For those of you in eastern spiritual traditions there are mantras
connected with specified deities. Chanting these mantras mentally during death,
or in the death realms, has the same effect.

For those of you who are not part of a spiritual tradition that follows
a guru, avatar or savior, then the transition state of consciousness called
death offers other possibilities.

As with the other two transition states of consciousness, the death
realm has a void point, and its dominant features are stillness (silence) and
darkness. All possibilities exist within the Void, but no actuality is in
existence. It is like the acorn of an oak tree. The oak, the giant tree itself,
is potentially within the acorn, but it does not yet exist.

So when you find yourself in the Void, which you will recognize by the
fact that you are utterly alone in darkness and utter stillness, know that you
are in the central nexus of your creative powers.

What you choose to create next will determine the course of your destiny
and what worlds you will inhabit or realms of existence you will reside in.
This is a critical juncture.

Many persons frightened by the darkness move to the light prematurely.
And what they do not realize is that in their yearning they create the light. A
portal opens before them, like a tunnel, and they can move into this tunnel of
light, encountering those they have known before, thereby entering back into
embodiment or other vibratory realms of existence without having fully
understood the consequences. This is certainly one option open to you, and one
that is often taken.

Another option, however, is to remain at the void point, residing in the
Void itself, becoming aware of your Self as pure consciousness—transcendent
to all phenomena.

If you reside in this state of awareness long enough without the need to
create something, you will discover your identity as the great I Am. And from
this point of awareness you can choose the circumstances of your embodiment.
You can choose the worlds you will inhabit or the realms of consciousness where
you will reside.

This latter method gives you the greatest opportunities, though it is
the most difficult for most people. And the reason for this difficulty has to
do with the fact that most humans find it uncomfortable to not have a body. The
yearning for a body and the experience of the material world often draws a
person from the Void prematurely.

In summation, due to the intensifying phases of the Chaotic Node many of
you will find yourselves in transitional states of consciousness. Regardless of
what level you find yourself engaged in, whether it be your personal life, the
collective experience, or the transition state you call death, know that you
are the creator of your reality.

The Hathors

April 20, 2011

Tom’s Thoughts and
Observations

I personally find this message to be stunningly eloquent and a vast
storehouse of information. I have read and re-read this message several times,
and each time I discover something new. There is, indeed, much to be read
between the lines in this communication.

I especially liked the Hathors’ statement…

“Be careful what new (perceptual) markers you
put into place, for these ideas and beliefs will be the stars in the new sky of
your mind, and you shall navigate your way into these new times by the stars
(thoughts and beliefs) that you have placed in the heavens of your own
consciousness. So be wise when you go about creating new stars, our fellow
navigators of the mystery.”

At the level of our collective mind, I think our mythic realities are
changing. The old stars, those thoughts, beliefs and presuppositions about
reality that have guided us as a culture for millennia seem now to be dimming,
not to mention that they have led us in directions many of us no longer wish to
go.

The collective ship of our culture seems to be plying through the waters
of the Great Mystery with little regard for the sacredness of this planet or
life upon it. But even as our collective vessel sails through the Great
Mystery, seemingly without awareness, it (the ship) and we owe our very
existence to the Mystery itself. This very odd duality seems, to me, either
amusing or tragic, depending upon what mood I am in, and how connected I am or
disconnected I have become from the Mystery itself.

One of the ironies of our situation is that the crew of this vessel,
those who make it sail, through an investment of their life-force, creativity
and, in some cases, blood sweat and tears, are no less than you and me, and all
the other nearly seven billion humans alive on this exquisite planet. We
are—all of us—crewing this vessel, regardless of our personal situation, our
life station or our beliefs.

There are those in the New Age community who say, and have been saying
for years now, that we are near Unity, and that the Golden Age is just around
the corner. I do not share this perception.

We are all in the same boat together, whether we like it or not, and it
seems to me that our crew is polarized. There are many who insist that the
paradigms of greed, arrogance and usurpation are the true reference points for
our sextants.

Others of us, however, are sensing that we are headed in the wrong
direction—that we can no longer ravage this planet and its life (both human and
other-than-human). For us, there are new stars in the sky of our minds. And we
are setting our sextants clearly upon these cosmic beacons.

How it will all turn out is anybody’s guess. But I am encouraged by a
silent mutiny I see happening all around me.

Many of us crew members, and I suspect that if you have read this far
you may be one of them, are silently taking action to turn our collective
vessel (i.e. our cultural madness) around or at least slow it down.

Some of us are pulling out our sextants and are pointing out new stars
to those around us. We do this by living the change we wish to see. We do this
by having the courage to live by a new Earth-reality that we sense is possible.
We do this by extending kindness to each other.

And when necessary, we do this by standing our ground. I am reminded in
this of a grass roots movement in some of the world’s poorest countries to
preserve the use of non-hybrid seeds—seeds that produce new seeds when crops
are harvested—rather than succumb to international economic interests that
would enslave the poorest of the Earth to buy new seeds whenever they wish to
feed themselves and their families.

As I write this, I am nearly weeping at their courage to stand up
against the Titans that have set the course for our collective vessel through
greed, arrogance and an utter disregard for the sanctity of life.

As difficult and as challenging as these times are both for individuals
and the collective, I think there is hope in the uncertainty that we are
facing. I say this because the human spirit has sometimes risen to heights when
faced with dire uncertain times.

If the Hathors are correct, all of us will face numerous transition
states of consciousness before our time on Earth has ended. The perceptual
markers of our old reality are being displaced. How we deal with the loss of
our perceived reality and the old world will determine the next cycle of
Earthly existence for humanity.

And for us individually, what we choose to create in the transition
states of our lives will determine the realms of consciousness that are
opened to us.

I wish you, my fellow crew members and those whom you love, safe passage
through these turbulent times. But regardless of what happens, regardless of
where and in what situations we find ourselves upon this perilous journey, let
us remember that we are—above all else—creators of our own reality.

There are new stars in the sky and new worlds to discover. Be bold. And
have a good journey.
