As we explore inward away from matter, we discover that the first non-physical dimension parallels the physical universe and is also a consensus reality. This energy environment is so physical in appearance that most people believe they are observing the physical world. In reality, they are observing the first inner energy dimension of the universe. Since this dimension is closest in frequency to matter, it is often seen and experienced during out-of-body explorations. This dimension is a classic example of a consensus reality: its structure is solid and stable within its own vibratory frequency. Our thoughts, no matter how focused, have little effect on the energy structures within this environment. However, our thoughts will exert a tremendous impact upon our personal energy-body. Thoughts of flying will enable us to fly. Thoughts of walking will enable us to walk. The distinction between external and internal (personal) energy changes is critical to understanding the inherent structure of a non-physical dimension or environment. In a consensus environment, our thoughts influence our personal energy but not the energy surrounding us. The various heavens referred to by Saint John in Revelation and Mohammed in the Koran are classic examples of consensus environments. These non-physical cities and structures exist within the second and third energy dimensions and continue to be molded and maintained by the group consciousness of millions of non-physical inhabitants. When we enter these environments, our thoughts will not change the structures encountered. A non-consensus environment is any non-physical environment or reality that is not firmly molded by a group. I have found that this type of environment is the most prevalent. The appearance can be anything we imagine: a forest, a park, a city, an ocean, even an entire planet. Non-consensus environments are easily detected because, while often physical-like in appearance, they are extremely sensitive to focused thoughts and will rapidly change and restructure according to the prevailing conscious and subconscious thoughts present in the immediate area. If you find yourself in an environment that changes often or seems to be unstable, you are more than likely in a nonconsensus reality. If this is the case, then it is important for you to know that your thoughts, both conscious and subconscious, have probably influenced the reality you are experiencing. Non-consensus areas are often molded by our subconscious mind for our benefit. For example, if you are experiencing a recurring problem or block in your personal development, your subconscious mind or higher self may mold an environment and situation that allow you to confront this block on a very personal basis. You could face a representation of your fears in the form of a crashing plane or car, or confront a personal limitation or self-concept. This personal confrontation can take any shape or form that will effectively assist us in experiencing and overcoming our limits, barriers, or fears. Many people report themselves projected into a situation that tested or tempered them in a very personal way—often through confronting their greatest fears and limits. For example, if you are deathly afraid of heights, you could experience yourself climbing a mountain or crossing a narrow bridge. A good example of this is detailed by Robert Monroe in Journeys Out-of the-Body, where he describes repeated attempts to land a small plane on the top of a building while he is out-of-body. More often, the non-consensus environments will appear much like our normal or even idyllic physical surroundings; parks, landscaped country gardens, and peaceful green meadows are commonly reported. I believe it’s probable that many of these areas were created by the thoughts of other non-physical life-forms who have inhabited or explored the areas in the past. Unlike in the physical world, once an energy environment is formed, it can last for centuries. Cellular and molecular decay are not an issue; it’s simply a matter of thought-energy formation and stability. A single, firmly held, creative thought can mold an energy environment capable of lasting almost indefinitely; however, a stronger (more focused) thought could alter the entire environment within seconds. Remember that all environments are a form of energy, and all energy is thought-responsive to some degree. Natural (raw) energy environments are completely unformed areas of the universe that appear without a specific shape or form of any kind. These areas are often observed as misty voids, empty space, or featureless, open areas consisting of white, silver, or golden clouds of energy. Natural energy environments are extremely sensitive to thought. Any focused thought will instantly mold the immediate energy environment. This is why it is so important to gain some degree of control over our thoughts. Our personal evolution largely depends on the way we focus, control, and direct our thoughtenergy. No matter what dimension we inhabit, our personal responsibility for our thoughts and actions is absolute. All thoughts are creative; both positive and negative thoughts and action will create a corresponding restructuring of the immediate non-physical environment. This is why spiritual leaders have always stressed themes of “do unto others” and “love for all.” Once you fully recognize the power of your thoughts, you will never again create or hold a negative or destructive image in your mind. Negative and self-limiting thoughts are the real enemy we must face. Within the inner dimensions of the universe, our thoughts, both good and bad, exert a powerful creative influence upon our immediate environment. This is readily observed and experienced during an out-of-body experience. In addition to the three most prevalent types of environments encountered when out-of-body, there are two others. The first, though rarely observed and reported, seems to consist of dimensions and environments that exist beyond thoughtenergy. Currently, few explorers have consciously ventured far enough within the universe to provide an accurate description or model of these dimensions. Possessing no perceivable shape or structure, these areas of the universe are postulated to exist beyond space, time, and energy as we conceive of them. It is possible that these dimensions and their inhabitants are indescribable by our linear concepts. Even so, I’m certain that non-thought and non-form energy environments exist deep within the interior of the universe. The other observed environment is an area that appears to be a duplicate of empty space. This is an extremely low energy environment. Some believe that non-physical space is a consensus environment. I seriously doubt this theory because no perceivable energy radiations or vibrations are emitted from empty space itself. All noticeable energy emanations appear to be located near inhabited locations. I think it is more likely that “empty” space lacks sufficient local energy to be affected by thought; as a result, it remains in a relatively constant state. It should also be noted that empty non-physical space appears to become increasingly prevalent as we explore inward away from the physical dimension and toward the source of all energy. The reason for this is unknown. The observations of numerous non-physical explorers will be required before we can arrive at a conclusion. 24
