Ascending through consciousness

Ascending through Consciousness

All Music composed and recorded by ~Ray~ 

When we consider Consciousness, we enter a vast universe of levels of awareness. Consciousness encompasses our physical and mental makeup but goes beyond this in ways that are transcendent, intuitive, containing and including ascending and descending states of awareness and knowledge. 

 Ascending in Consciousness may be like walking up a stairway to the next level and then another stairway leading up to the next level and so forth. But is the direction in Consciousness really up or down, outward or inward, or is Consciousness that very undefinable “place”, “state”, “level of awareness” that is, by nature, all of the above yet none of the above? Is Consciousness a “state of being”, “complete awareness”? 

 What if we can experience different levels of Consciousness through the influence of frequency, or musical activations that assist us in an experience that lifts our awareness from one state of Consciousness to another. And as we move through ascending states of Consciousness, perhaps a shift in perception may also occur. 

  From ancient times, sound, frequency, tones, mantras and chants have been the tool to unlock experiences in transcendental states. The great OM sound is said to be the sound of Creation. Mantras of So HUM, OM Namah Shivaya, the HU of the sound current of Ekankar, Amen and many others, when toned or chanted assist the mind to achieve other mental states of tranquility, peace and bliss. 

 Whether chanting or toning on a single frequency or a perfect chord or in a Bhajan or experiencing transcendent melodies of the flute, or spiritual hymn, music, with the intention of assisting you to a “higher” realm of Consciousness, is a phenomenon we all can recognize and utilize. 

In my offering, “Ascending Through Consciousness”, you will experience various states of your own Consciousness as the Music begins by representing the Physical realm of Consciousness.

 Then at certain points in the timeline the music will incorporate the feeling of moving up a stairway to the next level of Consciousness. New shifts in your perceptions may accompany this ascending movement.

 In chart form, the timeline of the music progresses as the following:

1. Physical Realm: 000-3:33           Stairway up at:  1:13 min.

2. Emotional Realm: 3:33-12:00    Stair way at: 10:00 min.

3. Mental Realm: 12:01-16:49          Stairway at: 16:00

4. Spiritual Realm: 16:50-23:10     Stairway at: 22:22

5. Bliss Realm: 23:11-27:19                Stairway at: 26:33

6. Divine Realm 27:20-35:10           Stairway at: 30:50 

 The music within each “stairway” is an ascending transition step by step upward in tones and chords, chants and activations that also lifts your awareness and Consciousness in preparation for the next realm. 

 Of the realms included, you may have your own names and descriptions of these realms or states of Consciousness. There are teachers and Yogis of the East that may have different names for each realm as well. For example, the Mental Realm may be referred to as the “Astral” realm and the “Divine” as the “Casual” realm. But I have simplified the terminology to fit the states of Consciousness that are normally described in Western terms. 

 For a brief acknowledgement of each realm of Consciousness, the following description is included. 

 1. Physical Realm: The body, the brain, the organs, experiencing basic reasoning and understanding of our awareness. The root and beginning of understanding the world in which you were incarnated.

 2. Emotional Realm: Feelings and emotions set in motion as our senses experience sight, taste, touch, hearing and olfactory. The realm of creativity as we use our emotions to inspire the arts, music, dance and song. The realm of the “sacral” Chakra which invokes our passions for thought and experiences. 

3. Mental Realm: The energy of thought, the gathering of ideas, inventions, discoveries, unfolding of complex formulas, the beginning of Transcendence as Consciousness travels beyond the natural brain function and emotions to a contemplative state of awareness. 

4. Spiritual Realm: A state of Consciousness even more transcendent than the Mental Realm often emerging from deep Meditation and Prayer. A heightened “sense” of awareness that begins to connect with other transcendental realms of thought and intuition. The awareness of a Transcendent power or Being may become apparent in this realm of Consciousness. 

5. Bliss Realm: The realization of joy and a knowingness that one is in perfect harmony with all creation, physical and spiritual, mental and emotional. Perpetual peace.

6.  Divine Realm:  Complete connection and awareness of all as reality. Complete awareness of Oneness as “I AM”. The absence of Ego, the art of Being, the knowing and understanding of being ALL IN ALL. The Realm of infinite possibilities. Pure love, pure bliss, pure Consciousness.  

How to prepare for your experience

For experiencing this offering of Ascending Through Consciousness, I recommend that you prepare a quiet room, burn a candle, burn some sage or incense, relax, breathe a little deeper, allow your whole being to shift into a quiet state. Then, play the MP3 Music. 

Let the Music transport you to a new experience in ascending Consciousness. 

I recommend over the ear headphones for the ultimate experience of the stereo recording and mixing. A good sound system with speakers that reproduce low frequencies is also recommended. Small cell phone or speakers built into a laptop may not produce all the sounds and frequencies that you will need for this experience.   

May your experience be Divinely Blessed!
