Introduction
Whether or not we know it we have a built in philosophy of how we respond to life. We are subject to responding according to the concepts we believe in even if we never consciously agreed to believe in them. So we are a puppet to our concepts and respond according to their programs, even though we might not even like how we respond.
The questions and answers in this book will begin to set up the link to your own complete self.
This process will work for everyone. You do not need to be at a certain spiritual level or have any type of social or educational status. You will not need to chant, meditate or pray.
These understandings will begin your personal discovery of those illuminated aspects of yourself that are hidden for the most part by blocks of misconceptions and conditioned responses in your personal experience in life.
Very quickly in this process you will begin to notice and feel yourself uniting more and more with your total and complete self. You will begin to see your perspective on everything expand to a much clearer vantage point.
It is not so much of what you learn that allows you to expand to this complete perspective. It is more of what you unlearn that breaks the blocks down that inhibit your deeper inspirations.
There is a part of your complete self that has all the answers. That part of you can tell you why you're here, where you're going and what personal and social choices are in harmony with your total being.
There, in fact, is nothing that is not known in that illuminated aspect of your complete self. To discover that part of yourself you will need to untangle from those blocks of misconception that have you conditioned.

That conditioning ultimately embitters and frustrates your life as you hide in more and more radical activities from your discontentment, instability, and emptiness. From a deeper perspective you can't help but be gripped with fear and worry in a life that is stuck on an out of control emotional roll-a-coaster.
Though for the most part you are totally unaware believing yourself in the drivers seat, your unknowing conditioned responses to life continue to puppet you in a darkened narrow tiny compartment of your total self, while you experience only a fragment of your potential freedom, joy and personal contentment.
If you are inspired to begin this voyage, then listen deeply with your heart, and this work before you will propel you on a conscious journey of true freedom to your total and complete self.

Question: Tell me how you know there is a deeper or other consciousness than what we are now experiencing with our senses.
5
Answer: I will, but first if I may, I want to clarify a word you use in your question. The word deeper is used here in this question about consciousness. This word is often misunderstood and misleading. So this question divides itself into two parts. 1. Are there various different consciousnesses in quantity? And 2. Is there a deeper or superior consciousness in quality?
People sometimes say and think that deeper means superior. Superior and inferior are personal judgments, not facts of being. When I use the word deeper I am referring simply to a position usually in some part of the consciousness. I am not saying it is deeper as an inferior or superior position.
Question: So what is it you mean then by depth of consciousness?
Answer: I am not talking about its quality, only its position. Like a depth of an ocean; it's still the ocean just at different depths.
6
Question: I would think that certainly some levels of consciousness are superior. Are you saying they are not?
Answer: We have found and understand that no layer or level of consciousness is superior or inferior to any other, though some may be more preferable at times on our individual journeys.
Question: What about Buddha or Christ, or some other ultimate divine aspect? Surely the level of consciousness that they have reached is superior. At least it certainly seems like it is to mine.
Answer: The individual consciousness of Buddha and Christ and everything and everyone else is made up of life itself at different levels or layers within our total consciousness. So, to fully answer this question with some clarification let me show you with some simple logical examples how there are indeed different levels or layers of consciousness. Some of these levels of consciousness are sometimes referred to as deeper/superior because of some knowledge or some powers they may possess.
7
Question: Yes, I am still curious how you know for sure there are even different levels of consciousness at all. I mean, I believe there are but I cannot say that I know it for sure, but I do believe it.
Answer: The answer to that is actually much simpler than you think and you could easily prove that to yourself if you really gave it some thought. Most people don't think about this question because they are conditioned to respond to these questions from past belief systems that they aren't even aware of.
Question: I can't see how there could be a simple answer here unless you tell me to just have faith.
Answer: No, I will not tell you to just have faith. Listen. It's just this simple. We understand that life is consciousness, though many aspects of life may be very different from each other and very different from that of the human experience of consciousness.
8
We know consciousness exists in animals at a different level or different position then that of humans, though very close to the same. Animal consciousness is inspired much more from instinct than that of humans in its motion and its interactions with life as it sees and senses it. Humans in their connection to their own animal aspect also use and sometimes rely on their instincts. Yet, the human consciousness tends to use more logic and reasoning in its experiences. No matter how close to the same that animal and human consciousness responds to the world and to itself, there is an obvious difference in consciousness.
Question: Yes, but because of a humans ability to reason and use logic, isn't our level of consciousness then superior?

Question: What is life for? How do you know that?
Answer: Let me take the first part of that question. What is life for, or one might ask, what is the purpose of life?
The purpose of life is ultimately for joy on many different levels and dimensions. I am not saying that every feeling and/or activity that we have at this point in our personal evolution is or could be totally joyful. I am saying that every experience that we have, no matter how we view or judge that experience, is preparing us for what life is ultimately for, and that is deepest happiness and endless, immeasurable personal joy.
11
Question: That sounds really odd. If life were for joy, why on earth would the road to that joy be so full of hellish suffering and pain? I really can't see how you can say that life is for joy, or that the purpose of life is joy.
Answer: To truly experience all levels of joy one must experience a sense of separateness as well as a sense of oneness from and with all that is. For instance, if someone you loved inspired a certain sense of joy in your life, that joy would lose some of its dimension if you could not determine or perceive a sense of separateness as well as a sense of oneness with that person. Evolution with its apparent sufferings as well as its wonderfully pleasurable experiences reveals to the expanding being its undeveloped natural perspectives of all that is.
The sense of oneness and the sense of separateness from all existence are vital evolved conscious perspectives. When through many varied experiences these perspectives become clear, this will then enable our multi-leveled sense of absolute joy.
12
Question: I am not really sure I understood what you said there. Could you explain that a bit more for me?
Answer: A sense of separateness as well as a sense of oneness with all that exists is vital to our ultimate joy. In other words, if we felt only oneness with a rose we would feel like we just smelled perfume and enjoyed the beauty of our own fingers. The joy of that would lose some dimension if we could not see ourselves as separate from that rose. And, if we only felt separateness from that rose like we were not a part of the same nature somehow, the rose would feel foreign, less attractive, and the smell of its perfume would also lose some dimension and joy.
Question: That is still not quite clear to me.
Answer: To help clarify this answer let me use this example: When others make us suffer we certainly feel and recognize our separateness from them. The more we suffer the more we feel separate from them. On the other hand, if others make us feel happy we can begin to feel closer to them, we can relate to them, and begin to see parts of ourselves in them. The closer we get to them the more we can feel love and sense the oneness we share with them.
13
Question: That sounds wonderful. So, why would we want to feel separate from them? That wouldn't seem to make any sense.
Answer: In feeling separate from them we can recognize our independence and our own unique individuality. This individuality is vitally important as it enables us to see others as unique individuals as well as ourselves. Both of these experiences of suffering and love as well as other essential experiences are necessary to the evolving being to begin to feel those different aspects and dimensions of separateness and oneness. These many varied experiences will ultimately allow us to feel and know all dimensions of absolute joy.
It is that expanded sense of consciousness that comes from recognizing separateness, as well as oneness, with all life, that allows us to feel complete joy on all levels. This absolute joy will be known and felt on all levels in our wonderfully delightful inter-actions with all existence. So evolving to a sense of separateness and a sense of oneness brings us to what life is for or the purpose of life, and that is absolute and total joy.
14
Question: It sounds like you are saying suffering is as valuable as pleasure and love. Then maybe we should not resist suffering. Maybe we should go out looking for situations that make us suffer?
Answer: Looking to suffer is against our personal nature as well as all nature. It is natural to resist suffering. It shows us growing beyond the need for that experience. Yet, it is very important to understand here that the suffering we have had as well as the suffering we will not be able to avoid in the future is necessary, just like the resisting of it is necessary and always has been. Though it is wise to resist suffering, not all suffering can be resisted. That suffering that cannot be resisted is what we need to yet experience. It can also be wise at times to resist love on certain levels. But all love cannot be resisted either.

"How do you know that."
Unit # 2. Many more relevant questions will be answered. For your completed copy email ask_fd3.me.
15
In Unit Two you asked me a side question: Would I consider the cause of evolution or creation to be intelligent? I answered yes and much more than that word intelligent could imply. Your next question was:
Where may I ask is the intelligence behind suffering, especially some of the horrible things that happen to children? And what about all those innocent people that die in natural disasters? How is that intelligent?
16
You also said that you had asked many people including, spiritual and social leaders and professors from all over the world those questions. You said, that because of the blatant, inconsistent, transparent and obvious speculative answers you were given, you have pretty much lost faith in religions, philosophies and spiritual paths all together.
In clarifying our position on these very important questions, I wish to make it perfectly clear that I do not feel challenged to restore your faith in anything. On the contrary I wish to inspire your own personal experience of these understandings.
So I am not defending the intelligence behind suffering. There is no need to do that when suffering is understood. I am more trying to explain and clarify the surface misconception of what suffering is, and what suffering appears to be, from some levels. The personal challenge would be to understand what suffering really isn't, what it appears to be, and also, what it does in its apparent action. So I will explain some of the intelligence behind apparent suffering from that perspective, hoping to give some insights about that position, experienced as suffering.
So with that in mind lets start with your question: Where is the intelligence behind suffering?
17
I have already spoken quite a bit in the last chapter about how apparent suffering aids in developing our vital sense of separateness. So that is the ultimate intelligence behind it and the underlying reason for it to appear to be happening.
You evidently want me to explain the specific intelligence behind certain sufferings, like that of innocent children and those sufferings that are caused by what are called natural disasters. When you ask for specifics, especially on delicate issues, there then becomes a need to give some foundation and some understanding of our lifes fundamental nature.
I would like you to look at an example from an ultimate view that might help make this perspective of lifes primary position clearer:
Imagine if you and a mate were creating all life, everything that is. In this creation, everything, all aspects of life, was actually made up of you and your mate together. I mean everything is both of you; all the atmosphere, stars and planets; all the people, plants and animals; everything. Even though those various aspects of life in your creation may all look different in their apparent forms, they are all merely you and your mate combined, every part of them.
18
The natural consciousness in this position would be a sense of oneness with all, very obviously because all would be the same underlying fabric of you and your mate.
To evolve a sense of separateness to go along with your sense of oneness, as to more completely enjoy all aspects of your creation; you need to experience different feelings and forms of consciousness. You must for a time in evolution, actually believe you become those positions and forms of your creation. Those experiences you have in those forms must be extreme enough to make you believe in the reality of that separate self and those separate experiences.
There are different basic reasons why the growing pains, that allow for an evolving sense of separateness, exist. We have said that suffering helps us to feel separate and amplifies our sense of individuality. This sense of individuality and oneness finds its joy all over nature. For instance, the child in the pregnant mother is enjoyed from a different perspective then when the child is born and has a more surface belief in the separateness of its mother. In most births there is pain combined with joy that brings about this basic sense of separateness.
19
There also is attained much joy in this new relationship that feels very strongly both a sense of oneness and a sense of separateness, simultaneously. With separateness and oneness in this combined intimate atmosphere, there then follows overwhelming inspirations of expanding love and longings for more experiences, in that fresh, growing relationship. It feels profound and intensely wonderful. One might feel intimately connected to the earth, the child, and divinity all at once in this natural phenomenon. A wonderful new sense of perception is felt in the mother as well as the newborn. Deep joy bubbles to the surface and fills the total consciousness of both.
The mother knows that the child has separated from her at least in some respects, from the drama she has undergone. This helps the mother and the child to feel separate as individuals and still remain with this strong sense of oneness.

Unit #3. Many more relevant questions will be answered. For your completed copy email ask_fd3.me.
Question: I have some questions about drugs. Does your group have subconscious understandings about that subject?
Answer: Yes, much information and deep wisdom has been revealed to us on this subject. Please ask what ever you like.
Question: Are drugs wrong to use, for recreational purposes from your perspective?
22
Answer: Your question about right or wrong asks for, and requires a moral answer. The deeper subconscious does not judge from an ultimate moral perspective. Yet it will enlighten the individual evolving consciousness in regards to those activities that are in or out of harmony with that individual evolving being.
It is the job of that individual evolving being to make those sorts of judgments in regards to its own activities. Those personal judgments may change as that individual grows through many experiences.
Question: So you are saying that the subconscious does not agree with the law against recreational drugs?
Answer: No that is not what I said. The individual evolving being must make its own moral judgments. That being must choose its activities based on many possible repercussions. The evolving being may choose against certain activities purely in light of those possible repercussions. Those repercussions may not have anything to do with morals at all.
23
For instance a certain man likes to smoke cigarettes. Let's say he is in a hay barn and there is spilled gasoline all over the hay. There could be some obvious repercussions if he lights a match. So that being will have to make that decision. If he doesn't consider the gasoline in his decision making process, there could be some serious repercussions. This is not a moral issue, but an issue of possible un-wanted results. It wouldn't matter if some believed that it was wrong to smoke in barns or not. Those existing laws of circumstance and possible un-wanted results apply.
Question: Are the only real negative repercussions in recreational drugs, the laws against them, and those penalties?
24
Answer: There is much to understand about the different layers and levels of repercussions from drugs. There are the physical, medical repercussions. These vary with the person and the different types of drugs used. I believe most people know, that there are certainly risks that one would be taking with their health, in using any drugs.
There are also those consequences that involve the growing expanding consciousness. Inasmuch as drugs will mask or hide certain aspects of the consciousness. At certain times and with certain drugs this can be beneficial. Like in times of severe pain, or other medical severities. In other times when one seeks to hide from certain aspects of their own minds or their own apparent moods or conditions, there can be major repercussions in this sort of hiding from aspects of the self.
25
Question: I do not really understand what you mean by hiding from certain aspects of the self.
Answer: Well, when one is in severe pain for instance, that being may suffer intense discomfort. Some or all of that discomfort can be masked or blocked with certain drugs. Those drugs help that being to hide from that pain. Some hiding in some cases can of course be beneficial. There will be some repercussions coming off that drug, and those negative affects will become more severe with prolonged use.
For those that continue to use the drugs, that hiding and masking process, can lead to many types of very serious repercussions. For instance, let's say some one had severe pain and received morphine or some other very strong pain treatment. Then later they had average pain and again they used this extreme treatment to hide from that pain. Then at another time they experienced even less pain and they wanted the morphine treatment again. Pretty soon that person may want the drug just to handle the ups and downs of their every day lives.
26
At that point and with no actual medicinal need, the drug just blocks a portion, or all, of their every day feelings and emotions. The repercussions here are manifold. For instance, their decision-making processes and the way they respond to the world and especially everyone connected to them personally, are strongly affected in a way that does not reflect their true selves. No matter what kind, or the level or power the drugs are, and wether people are aware of it or not, drugs are used to hide or mask the present consciousness, in one-way or another. And, it is vitally important to understand that there are always some sort of repercussions that come from masking or hiding from your self.
Question: What if I am not hiding from myself. What if I am just using some recreational drug or alcohol for fun sometimes?
Answer: I might answer that question with a question. Why would you need a drug or alcohol to have fun?
Alcohol itself is also a type of drug, but here is the point. In this case you are in a mood to have fun. Something is keeping you from having that fun to the extent you could be having it with some sort of drug or alcohol. When you use that drug then what ever was hindering your fun becomes blocked or masked.
27
You then are not so affected by your hindrance and you feel freer to have that fun.
I ask you, what is it that is blocking your freedom to have that fun? Do you realize that your need for a drug or alcohol to feel free and have fun is weakening you. Drugs make you more and more dependent in one-way or another. This dependency in itself motivated by your desire to gain freer access to your fun, is a dangerous process that actually has the opposite affect, it steals your freedom.
Children will gladly show you, that having fun is a natural state of our consciousness. If we are not able to do that with sober freedom, then we have some sort of block. Hiding from that block or masking it with drugs to feel free enough to have fun, obviously limits and retards our potential as we hide from our own selves.
To gain true personal freedom it is necessary to expose those hindrances of misconceptions that block us.
