Process of Manifestation.

Process of Manifestation.....An extract from a few chapters I wrote in a joint effort tome....

By Tony O’Clery


Miracles are essentially technology that we don’t yet understand. We are moving into micro-nano technology, and unseen impulses and codes rule our present world. A thought is a thing, that is, it is created by our own mind, which is thought stuff in itself. (Or more accurately, thinking is identifying with a stream of thought.) The more one can penetrate the levels of mind, the more one can perform ’miracles’. However, there are ’left-hand’, yogis and magicians who also can perform some miracles, but this is not accompanied with any rise in spirituality. Even if one has some control over the lower astral planes, one can still perform these ’miracles’. One cannot influence a plane higher than one’s state of mind control.



Mantras or spells, and yantras or mind tools are used to trigger the mind into performing some feats. This is because they attract the corresponding vibration, in the subtle or less dense world. So the process of real personal magic is a system of belief, concentration and intense detailed visualization. There are other forms of unconscious, kinetic activity that seem to be triggered, by a person’s devotion to a ’God Form’. For example, I have seen ash, and ambrosia manifesting on pictures, not to mention on fruit, in temples and people’s homes. In some cases so much has been manifested, that a container had to be placed underneath to catch it all. Of course, there is also ’Spirit Activity’, as well.

According to the ancient wisdom, different planes can best be explained as the main divisions of consciousness. There are infinite permutations, but there appear to be certain levels in this whole of consciousness, blending subtly into one another. There are seven astral planes; the lower four, which could be regarded as somewhat difficult are the ’pretalokas’ or ’hell realms’. They are occupied with misshapen ghoulies, un-evolved humans, animals and non-humans. All the lower humans live here after death; criminals, drunkards, pedophiles and those with intense, unresolved hatreds and desires. They cannot satisfy their desires, so they learn from this frustrating experience. The Earth itself, as a lower plane, is a ’hell realm’, and there is much astral imaging here.



For example, the dark, subdued lights in bars and clubs echo the dark, dim light of the lower astral. So does much of the negative activity on the planet. The three, higher planes of the astral are what we commonly call ’heavens’, and are more pleasant and happy. All these planes involve beings having a recognizable form, albeit created by their own thoughts. Above the astral level, we have the mental planes, the lower four of which have form and every thought produces a living picture. The higher planes consist of blissful, living energies and colors, and in that way are without accepted human form. They are amorphous energy and light shapes, so to speak. Only the most advanced spiritual beings advance to the highest levels.

Above all these astral and mental planes and suffusing them, is the ’Consciousness’ Itself, or what some would call ’Immanent God’ or the Goddess. Above that is the inexplicable ’Transcendent’. The Ancient Wisdom teaches that, ’God’, projects a creation, an appearance, with which It is not involved... much like a dream, I suppose. This creation has a basis, a ’Unified Field’, or ’Akasa’, (Unitary Principle of Matter), which is suffused with and is ’Consciousness’. The ’Energy’ or ’Prana’, (Unitary Principle of Energy) --- at this stage--- is in a perfect balance and equilibrium. This is why one could think of the later manifested universe as even a hologram, for conscious energy is the ground or basis.

However, at certain periods it starts to manifest and gain attributes.

’The perfect state is ’the balance’ and it includes the potentiality of mind and intelligence to also be either ’active’, which is dynamic and has the potential of force, or ’dull’, which allows condensation to matter, inertness, destruction, ignorance, inactivity, sleep and death.’

These three form all the infinite, computations of matter and energy, as they interact ---forming all the energies, waves and particles or the ’creation’. This progresses to the ’opposites’, light and dark, joy and grief, action and reaction. This commences with vibration, then radiation and ends up with condensed energy or matter. The tradition is that the vibration is ’The Word’, OM, or ’Shabda’, which is described as ’Sound’. This leads to the question of: What is death? Sankara, a great philosopher of ancient times says it is “a separation from our desires”, or something similar to that. So it is a transition of consciousness, that is all it is ---a transition as to where the consciousness focuses. The fear and pain come from the loss of friends, family, attachments, and things we ’love’. When one dies, one moves initially to the ’Border Plane’, and one would retain a recognizable form... and in many cases, some consciousness of one’s situation. After some time, (usually a few days) a ’swoon occurs’, and this form is also left behind to disintegrate before the soul entity moves on to the astral. This is called the ’Second Death’. Moving from the astral would also entail another ’swoon’, and the disintegration of the astral bodies. In fact, moving up all the lower planes involves swoon and dropping of the corresponding ’shell’.

So called ’Evil Descents’ come from the lower four planes of the astral, which are nearer to this material plane. Hence, all the human desires and emotions are highlighted. They are nearer to the human attachments and desires of this physical plane. Because ’beings’ who dwell in the lower planes have no desire for spirituality, they strive for egoistic dominance and power over others. Many of them are adept at moving between these lower planes and really have no desire to move any higher. These are the beings that become the demonic: Hitler, Stalin and others. Many can shape-shift and bi-locate.



What is shape-shifting?

As I understand it ---from a yogic point of view--- the process is one of thought. While asleep, we all travel out of our physical bodies, but for so many of us there is no memory of this. Sometimes, we may just mistake it for a dream. However, a person with this siddhi, or yogic power, can do this consciously. This involves two different methods entirely. First of all, there is the bi-location effect, where a person is seen miles from where they are. This is the famous Doppelganger, or the etheric double, which really isn’t a separate body or sheath, but part of the physical body manifestation. It is a form of shape-shifting, but it is the same image and it is in a subtle form. The other type of shape-shifting, is where the form is more solidified to appear as a normal physical body. This can be done during different periods of time depending on the person. Some yogis have the ability to shift to numerous bodies, and some can take a different form or forms altogether. It all depends on mind control, and the abilities reached in previous incarnations.

To be able to demonstrate this in multiples manifestations ---at the same time--- takes a lot of yogic ability. Many spiritual yogis have this power, but it in itself is definitely not a sign of spirituality... anymore than riding a bicycle is. As most of the planet’s population, allegedly, have come up from the animal and mixture world, they do not have the ability to perform shape-shifting or other psychic feats. That is, it is not in the subtle, memory bank of their past tendencies and abilities. To make this a little clearer, it is necessary for me to explain the concept of bodies and their sheaths. In the Ancient Wisdom, there are three bodies: material, subtle and causal. These contain several sheaths, each more subtle than the other. The more one penetrates the mind, the more one has control over the lower sheaths and matter.

1.) The Food Sheath: The normal human physical body. This is what is known as the ’Material, or Physical Body’. (This is one of the reasons why some mystics are vegetarian, because it lightens the vibrations the body is composed of.)
2.) The Vital Energy Sheath: This is connected with all the human attributes and weaknesses, and energizes and heats the body.
3.) The Mental Sheath: This is the normal Lower Mind.
4.) The Awareness Sheath: This consists of pure and integrated awareness, or Higher Mind. These sheaths 2, 3, and 4, make up the ’Subtle Body’.
5.) The Bliss and Causal Sheath: The sheath of Human Potentiality. This sheath is experienced unconsciously in sleep, or consciously in some meditations. Beyond this is the Universal Consciousness, ’God/Goddess’, which blissfully, suffuses all the other sheaths and is the ’Ground’, (or basis) of everything. This is the Universal Over Soul.

At any given time ---depending upon which level or combination thereof that the person is operating at, so is the interpretation and function. So, working at level 3, an answer or interpretation would be different from that of level 4.
Those that shape-shift between planes, however, are still only operating at the lower mind level. They may even touch on the higher mind, but misuse it to perform “so called” miracles on the lower planes of mind. Because all is energy --yet it may change in form-- it cannot be destroyed, at least by man, that is.


In some ’past life’, experiences. I observed my body die several times, but it was like watching an old, silent movie. I have also had “out of my body” experiences while conscious. One time, I observed my body as it slept, only returning, for my inner clock told me that it was time to get up. Even though we all Astral Travel ---while in slumber--- (some consciously, some unconsciously) we often mistake it for a dream, as previously mentioned. However, on several occasions, I have visited with people close to me, those who have passed over. First of all, I talked to them almost quite normally while they were on the Border Plane, even observing that they could move around, so to speak.

On one occasion I was ’talking’, with an Aunt who had passed over; she had visited some places we had discussed and returned with some questions for me. After a few days of many conversations with both my daughter and I individually (My daughter is extremely sensitive and sees and hears the spirits), then with us together, there was a distinct change. She no longer seemed to answer me. So I went into a specific kind of meditation that I use on these occasions. I shall call it ’mind travel’, as opposed to the popular astral travel, which is limited. (I was initiated into this in India, by a Subtle Yogi. The technique allows me to cut through the lower planes.)
