And the last parting words before the start of practice
In the vast and infinite cosmos, there is no concept of a god, at least not as we perceive it on Earth. There are beings who are practically eternal and all-powerful compared to humans, but even they are mortal and have come into this world to learn. So, show respect when encountering someone great, but do not worship or idolize them.
In the books of Michael Newton and other authors who explore past lives, there is no one who has encountered a fearsome god in the spiritual realm. The main question that everyone preparing for a journey to the Upper World asks is: Does God exist after all? What gives rise to life is described by numerous people in trance as a source of incredible power and light, which Michael Newton refers to as «the Source». In reality, this force has not been fully studied or described, so whether you will approach it in your spiritual quest or not is entirely your choice. Initially, it is necessary to address your personal issues and bring your life into order before seeking the brightest light in the Universe.
All of this was said to make you aware that your perceptions of the world is somewhat different from the world itself. The templates by which we act and think restrict our power and prevent us from seeing the right path clearly. When embarking on a journey to the Upper Shamanic World, be prepared to discard the template-like notions of yourself and life as a whole. New worlds, governed by different laws, await you in your spiritual journey.
The practice of «Journey to the Upper World»
Preparation for the practice is as follows: allocate some time for a walk in nature. This is necessary to choose a helper tree. Walk through a park (garden, alley, forest) and observe the trees. If you are drawn to a particular tree, touch it and mentally ask if it will be your helper. For the practice of journeying to the Upper World, such a helper is necessary, although later you will learn about the technique of the «Pyramid of Light», where you can directly enter the fifth dimension by constructing your own pyramid there.
When you find a tree and receive a mental confirmation of its willingness, try to remember the image of the entire tree, not just individual branches and leaves.
