The Purpose and Experience of Being Human

by Joshua Reichmann, author of the book: "The Realized Light of the Twelve Dimensions" 

Esoteric, metaphysical, spiritual, and theological descriptions are fun and profound, but the real work occurs mainly in our personal lives. Our relationship to our mundane egoic self, others, and the world we inhabit is the dirty work where diamonds are found.

Of course, we can always return to the spiritual view, the dreamlike truth and power of compassion, but my experience is that I have to work in the mud because of my bad habits, traumatic responses, and ultimately my fear. My fear is still triggered and arises, mutating into anger, distraction, recoil, lust, or dissociated fantasy.

The Constant Dance of Rebirth

I have children, a partner, client trust, and my body’s health to bal­ance. I often fail, falling into torpor, relapsing into addiction cycles, or losing the presence of mind and gratitude that blooms my spirit into active participation with human uplifting. I experience states of hopelessness and anguish, confusion, and overzealous excitement. But on some level, my heart is stabilized in the whole spin. Some realized truths have, at one time or another and over many experiences, been baked into my energy body and found definition in my mind.

I have been saved by begging and pleading with God, loving God, and loving my cosmic heart as one and the same. And really through surrender. The true surrender to the love within. All is within after all; we have simply been discussing what we perceive as separate from us.

This constant dance between the human experience and the tran­scendent exemplifies, for me, the hard work of the practical spiritual path. Aliens, angels, supernatural experiences, shamanic layers of real­ity, and explosions of new psychic and energetic potentials are married to my digging into the struggle of my lived experience in a grounded way, making the best of what is presented.

The elixir of liberation always finds me when I admit defeat of the egoic frame, and I instantly remember my salvation and new life—my life in service to the Holy Spirit. I am reborn each time this cycle completes, and then it always resumes.

Life as Challenge

Human life in this material dimension incorporates tremendous challenges and existential struggles. There is no bypassing this.

Our bodies are unceasing teachers in suf­fering and often propel us to run away and seek refuge in habits bound to spirit-degrading pleasure, or in dissociative and distracting spaces outside of our form such as obsessive fantasy. We develop increasingly refined coping methods of behavior and thought. We can call it sin or any other similar term, but these deranging habits that pull us away from life are indeed supplied by the entropic force of darkness.

We wrestle with the moral domain and attempt to warp it to our sensual desires and needs. We come to see the freedom in carving out our boundaries through something beyond the mundane. We seek to go beyond, but energetic and conscious transcendence is a road fraught with its own challenges.

Those connected to the more exemplary lay­ers of mind and reality know an arena of growth that demands the most rigorous reappraisal of our role and responsibility in evolution. We discover surrender and empowerment by going within, not seek­ing outside. Once we grasp this, we are propelled beyond the previous limits of our imagination.

This propulsion through our perceived constraints is part of how we grow. Eventually, with enough perseverance and concentration, this false path of avoidance gives way to boredom, exhaustion, and surren­der, which give way to grace. Grace sets us up for the final renunciation of self-obsession, and this allows us to reclaim our spiritual truth.

Sustained Pleasure and Sta­bilized Joy

The tension of our embodied state drives us to seek and expand our understanding of how to achieve both sustained pleasure and sta­bilized joy. Pleasure and joy are primarily different things, but we con­fuse them at all turns until we recognize our complete connection to divinity. Divinity is the crown of the Channeler and through it, we are humbled and overjoyed.

Confusing temporary pleasure and the ballooning of the false self with the nourishing of our spirits and resting in our primordial aware­ness is what we call duality’s power. Pleasure is a paradox in that it appears to supply meaning and relief but also acts as a foil to delusion and its trappings. In other words, sin showcases goodness, but at what cost?

Joy, on the other hand, is achieved and stabilized through the internally energized realization of the primordial self and through the mind’s rest and focus and the truly animated motivation to be of ser­vice to others.

The contemplation and remembering of our divine cosmic mission to liberate all beings from confusion is joy—divine joy.

Transcending Illusions Through the Alchemy of Awareness

Until this new epoch, our specific human condition necessitated a linear, temporal, feeling, and emotional expression that was bound in the senses and elemental materiality of the third and fourth dimen­sions. We now consciously navigate this state as we transcend the illu­sions and do our part to aid in this era of dizzying evolution through the sacred alchemy of awareness -- one movement, thought, activity, intention, and wish at a time.

Why Are We Here, Again?

Why would divine and evolved spiritual beings like us need to go through repeated incarnations here? First, it is not that we are redun­dantly learning the same lessons repeatedly from life to life or even within one lifetime. We can release that idea now as it breeds futility and exhaustion.

The Path We Are Called to Embrace

Wisdom comes from direct experience, so we cannot gain wisdom and be of service without reexperiencing this dimension’s qualities.

When we are fully human, experiencing the complete moral, emotional, physical, and energetic spectrum of sensations, we become thoroughly compassionate to the suffering of others, of the planet, and of all realms.

So embrace your struggle, for it fuels your ability to implicitly know what to do to help others and lift this world system and all dimensions into the upper states and celestial expressions. That is the path we are called to embrace, and the gifts for doing so are endless.

Book: The Realized Light of the Twelve Dimensions

The Realized Light of the Twelve Dimensions: Cosmic Rebirthing and Our Celestial Destiny
by Joshua Reichmann.

Humanity is undergoing a cosmic rebirth. Profound cosmic shifts have precipitated this awakening, stimulating our DNA and kundalini energies while also bringing us into chaotic challenges, all pushing us toward an eventual future of unimagined harmony. We must learn to maximize our role in this new aeon to embrace our potential and achieve enlightenment for all sentient beings.

Sharing Channeled wisdom from the Cosmic Christ and our celestial guardians the Pleiadians, Joshua Reichmann presents Channeled knowledge on the evolving state of humanity, the 12 spectral dimensions of experience, the Akashic records, and the cosmic mechanics of our physical and metaphysical reality. He shows how to move through the darker saturnal realms of Satan, the samsaric force, where we must neutralize evil to be free. He details how the highest dimensions we access come through the heart beam, which expresses itself through the chakra system and the auric layers of the rainbow body and connects us to the cosmic heart.

Revealing what we can do during this precious time of rapid energetic change, the author presents a Pleiadian guide to cosmic, planetary, and consciousness upgrades. This book reveals how the cosmic rebirth is occurring, where we are headed, and how to navigate it all.
