21. 4-DIMENSIONAL
AWARENESS
ALBERT EINSTEIN
The non mathematician is seized by a mysterious
shuddering when he hears of four-dimensional
things, by a feeling that is not unlike the occult.
But there is no more commonplace statement
than the world in which we live is a
four-dimensional continuum.

22. UNDERSTANDING
THE DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN THE EGO
AND SOUL REALITIES
We think we live in a three-
dimensional material world,
whereas we actually live in a four-
dimensional energetic world.

23. If we can understand the difference
between two-dimensional awareness
and three-dimensional awareness then
we can get a sense of the difference
between three-dimensional awareness
and four-dimensional awareness

27. FORMS OF
AWARENESS

28. In one world,
everything is
particle-like
—the material dimension;
a world we can observe
with our physical senses.
This world is explained
by Newtonian mechanics.
The energy
dimension is the
reality of the soul
The material
dimension is the
reality of the ego
In the other world ,
everything is
wave-like
— the energy dimension;
a world we cannot observe
with our physical senses.
This world is explained
by quantum mechanics.
We appear to live in two worlds

29. In world of the soul we operate
with 4-D awareness and in the
world of the ego we operate
with 3-D awareness.
Our physical senses can only
perceive a small band of
frequencies of vibration.
Our 3-D reality is a form
of illusion because it is
based on incomplete
information

30. THE REALITY

OF THE SOUL

ENERGETIC REALITY

31. PERCEPTION
As long as we identify with our physical body,
we will be unaware of what is happening
in our 4-D energetic reality.

32. Examples of
4-D Awareness
 Synchronicity
 Feelings
 Soul speak
 Inspiration

33. the ability to perceive things
or events in the future.
Clairvoyance
the ability to read the
feelings of others.
Clairsentience
the ability to hear voices
of non-sentient beings.
Clairaudience
the ability to receive
knowing insights.
Claircognizance
These abilities
represent cracks in
our ego’s 3-D
awareness through
which we experience
4-D awareness.

34. EXERCISE
We are going to split into
groups and share with each
other our experiences of
synchronicity, soul speak,
inspiration, clairvoyance,
clairaudience,
clairsentience and/or
claircognizance

By conjoining space and

illusion of physical
forms and mass.

37. TIMELESS

ENERGY Because the soul has no
awareness of space and

experiences shifts in

FUNDAMENTAL PROPERTIES

Oneness and Connectedness
(no separation or isolation)
Because the soul has no awareness of time or
space to give the illusion of separation, the
soul experiences a sense of oneness and
connectedness.
Being—present

(no death and decay)
Because the soul has no
awareness of time and

of death and decay, it

40. WHAT IS AN EGO?
Because the ego identifies
with the body it believes
it can die.
Your ego is a field of conscious
awareness that identifies with
your physical body.

41. THE REALITY
OF THE EGO
Because it thinks it can die,
the ego believes it has needs.
Because it thinks it has needs,
it develops fears about not
being able to get its needs met.
The principal needs
of the ego are:
SAFETY SECURITYSURVIVAL

42. The ego is not who you are;
it is who you think you are.
The ego represents your sense of
identity in 3-D material reality.

43. in the physical, social and cultural
framework of your material existence.
YourEgo isthe mask you
wear to get your needs met

45. WHAT. IS. A. SOUL.
Your soul is an individuated aspect of the
universal energy field from which everything
in our physical world derives its being.
You don’t have a soul; your are a soul.

46. The soul instantaneously creates
whatever it needs through its thoughts.
the soul knows it cannot die.
Because the soul identifies with your four-
dimensional energy field and not with the body,
Because the soul has no needs, it has no fears.
Therefore the soul has no needs.

47. At the level of the True Self,
we all share the same values.
At the level of the Unique Self,
we all have different skills,
gifts, and talents.

49. THE SOUL’S
PURPOSE IN
INCARNATING
The Soul is attempting to
recreate its four-dimensional
energetic reality in three-
dimensional material
awareness.
It does this through:
Self-expression
Connection
Contribution

50. fears of the ego
fulfilling its purpose and desires are the …
The only thing standing in the way of the soul

51. As the embryo and then the fetus grows
and develops, the soul’s experience of
3-D material awareness increases.
The soul’s journey into 3-D awareness
begins when the soul incarnates into a
human body —when it takes possession
of the energy field of an embryo created
through the process of conception.
INCARNATION
OFTHESOUL
TheSoul'sJourney

52. At this point, the pain (energetic
instability) associated with the
experience of separation, causes the
soul to protect itself by creating a
psychic buffer we call the ego.
Around the age of two, when the soul’s
3-D awareness has developed to the
point that it realizes there are other
people in the world, it experiences the
feeling of separation. It is no longer
living in a world of oneness.

SEPARATION

53. the ego-mind
develops in 3 stages:
It learns how to survive with
the aid of the body mind (0-2 years)
(the development of the reptilian
mind/brain)
SURVIVAL
It learns how to stay safe with
the aid of the emotional mind (3-7 years)
(the development of the limbic
mind/brain)
SAFETY
It learns how to keep secure with
the aid of the rational mind (8-24 years)
(the development of the neocortex
mind/brain)
SECURITY

54. Only after the ego-mind has learned how
to maintain its energetic stability in its
physical, societal and cultural framework
of existence does the soul-mind venture
into 3-D awareness again.
3-D
AWARENESS
The ego-mind must let go of its
fears before the soul-mind can be
reactivated.
RE-ACTIVATION
OFTHE
SOUL-MIND
This process is described by the Seven Stages
of Psychological Development. Each stage of
development requires an expansion in
conscious awareness.

56. We grow in stages of
psychological development
We operate at levels of
consciousness
We live inside
(are embedded in) cultural

STAGES, LEVELS
AND WORLD VIEWS

57. We adopt the beliefs of the world
view we grow up in because that
is how we are able to meet our
survival, safety and security needs.

66. THE BIRTH OF
THE EGO
The ego begins to form soon after the limbic
mind/brain becomes dominant around the age of
two and continues developing until our early 20s.

67. THE BIRTH OF
THE EGO
The soul mind creates the ego mind when it
becomes overwhelmed by the pain of being
present in 3-D material awareness.
This pain is caused by the energy of
fear and separation.

68. 01

03
The ego is the
unknowing
guardian of the soul’s
incarnation intention.
The ego is comprised of
the emotional mind
(limbic mind/brain) and
the rational mind (the
neo-cortex mind/brain).
The will to survive,
keep safe and feel
secure is how the ego
interprets the soul’s
will to be present in
3-D material
awareness.
THE

69. THE EGO MIND IS RESPONSIBLE FOR
SURVIVAL, SAFETY AND SECURITY
OF THE SOUL’S BODY IN ITS PHYSICAL, SOCIAL
AND CULTURAL FRAMEWORK OF EXISTENCE
THE BODY MIND IS RESPONSIBLE FOR
THE HOMEOSTATIC FUNCTIONING

BODY ALIVE

92. Other strategies for
connecting with your
soul from a place of
mindfulness
My mind chose to give this
situation all the meaning
it has for me.
Why did I chose to give it this
meaning? What is the fear?
What needs do I have that
are not being met?
1. EVERY EVENT IS NEUTRAL

93. The situation is either
perfect because:
It feels good (or) It feels painful
and the pain is telling me what
I need to work on.
OR
It is perfect because I trust
my soul to guide my life.
2. EVERYTHING IS ALWAYS PERFECT

94. BEFRIENDING YOUR SOUL
A friend is someone who
you can rely on to help
you and give you advice
when you are in need.
