Perceptual Ranges

During the years when I was studying esoteric writers, a pet peeve was their use of words that were unclear in meaning. One often used was the word vibration. My conscious mind kept turning this over and over, trying to define this more clearly, and the deeper areas of my consciousness went to work on that question. The beginning of an answer came this way:

It was a hot summer day, and I had an electric fan running on a table near a window. My cat jumped up on the table and walked behind the fan. As I observed the cat, clearly visible through the spinning blades of the fan, the light dawned. I concluded that vibration is like atomic motion. Science tells us that all matter is composed of atoms which are in constant motion. I put that together with the picture I was seeing, and concluded that we perceive only those things that have a similar atomic speed or vibration to our own.
Although speed made the fan blades disappear from view, clearly they were still there. Sticking a finger into a spinning fan would prove that! But what I could see, was the cat, whose vibration was similar to my own.
This provides an explanation for why some people see ghosts or spirits while others do not. It probably explains why some see aliens or UFOs while others do not.

As my studies continued, I realized that human consciousness is composed of many layers which function at different frequencies. For example, a dream or a trance shifts us into a higher frequency, where we view life with our inner senses rather than our outer ones. In this way, we get different views of reality–a reality that probably also exists in layers.
Over many lifetimes, consciousness expands to include wider and wider frequency ranges. What we call intuition is consciousness processing at the speed of light–or at least faster than our ordinary senses can follow. In this way, we seem to just know things without being able to explain how we know them.
A true master of consciousness can use the outer senses to direct the inner ones. It can also channel the inner senses through the outer ones. In today’s children we are observing a general trend toward mastery of these abilities.

Now consider this: Science uses the terms visible light and audible sound, as though they were relatively fixed. However, today we are beginning to see that these ranges of light and sound are distinctly related to the human receivers. Clearly the ranges of audible sound and/or visible light vary from person to person.
Some people seem to advance upward, so that their sensory range simply rises. They begin to perceive new things, while some old ones drop out of consciousness. This is probably an intermediate stage of the evolutionary process. Meanwhile, others expand their perceptual range exponentially, widening it at both ends. This is true of many individuals being born today and, once again, science is proving what spirit knows.
In the news recently has come the term ring-tones, and certain makers of cell phones have discovered that there are ring-tones that adults cannot hear, but that are clearly audible to today’s young people. From this comes validation to the idea given me some years ago. As humans evolve their senses expand and they can see, hear, or otherwise sense what earlier generations could not.
Let older people beware, criticizing, belittling, or condemning these new aptitudes.
