Seminar Journeys (J) and Talks (T)
We are providing these transcripts as a way to assist you in understanding DaBen's instructions. The spoken word is different than when it is presented in writing, and these are not intended to take you into the light body spaces. We do not guarantee that these are perfect transcriptions of the journeys, nor are they intended to be. The journeys and talks given at the seminar will be posted as transcribed by our transcriber. Transcripts when complete will be put into PDF format several months after the seminar, and can be downloaded so you can read it on your computer or print it out.

Program 01 LB714E_01 Duane: Talk
Duane: Welcome everyone. We have an exciting two days of exploring energies of the earth plane using your wonderful abilities to sense these energies, your expanding skill in being in these energies.
As we play in the next two days with these journeys there will be a little bit of a challenge that I will ask you to be aware of and see if you can go beyond that.
And that is that some of the topics that we look at, some of the scales of the earth plane you know in an intellectual way, you know from your science and from the exploring that you have done on the earth plane itself and your understanding of ecology and ecosystems and other species and so on.
And we are asking you to look at that as light, as energy expressed to you as light, and finding that communication as light, so that you have a consistent framework and that what you know intellectually does not stop you from expanding out, seeing connections, that the language and the intellectual understanding does not usually connect in that large a way or in that cross-levels sort of way.
That will be the challenge of many of the journeys in the next two days. We are sure that you will be able to find that as light as well, so that you can recognize the crossing of levels.
And that will be something else we will do more than we did in the main seminar, is that we will cross levels or move from one level to another to another. DaBen will try to call those out when he feels it is important to you to experience, to recognize that experience.
Much of the time you will know that you have crossed a level by just the way that you experience light and the way that the communication that you can have works and operates there.
As a part of this exploration and exploring earth plane and earth plane consciousness we will spend a number of journeys looking at the human culture, the human species, the human cultures on the earth plane, and experiencing them as an expression of consciousness in their own right, and to look at the evolutions of those cultures and the way in which the energies come and go, form and dissolve, in that regard as well.
Of course we are all dependent upon the culture we are in for our basic survival on the planet and in the earth plane, and for certainly our growth as well in many areas, and all of you are expanding out beyond that now as you explore.
So let us play in this way in a very lightly held, non-fixity sort of approach. That will give you insights into being on the earth plane in more and more enjoyable ways, a renewal of recognition of energy behind the purpose or purposes that you have discovered for coming to the earth plane and playing in this way.
We look forward to the energies that all of you will create and to the openings that will come from you creating that energy that you can enjoy and we all can enjoy.
So as we play in this way just let yourself approach it in that non-fixity, lighthearted, non-attached way of experiencing, and let the integration of this at a personality level happen and the assimilation of your larger picture as you invent avenues of expression here.
Okay. I think that is all we need in the way of introduction, so get comfortable for a journey.

Program 02 LB714E_02J DaBen: Interacting, recognizing consciousness perception of earth plane
DaBen: Welcome.
It is our pleasure to be able to assist you in reaching these levels of consciousness, these depths of consciousness. And we enjoy watching you acquire this consciousness, building your ability to be in these spaces, and to uncover, to discover and then uncover the nature of this consciousness, and to both go more deeply into and more fully out of your beingness in earth plane energies.
You are still in and of this energy, but your finding consciousness allows you perspectives, allows you experiences of that nature of consciousness that you are on the earth plane.
So connecting with your guide now and moving to the light body, the light body cocoon, and the cocoon as far out as you can easily hold but even more aware of the constant motion and dynamic of the light body and the light, so that you might use that dynamic to sense this additional extension of your senses of light here.
We are going to in a number of journeys explore experiencing more of the nature of the energy that you are in and of. To use one of your analogies that have been used before, if you were a fish in water and you had not really recognized that you were in that water, how would you go about experiencing its nature.
And so we are going to go about experiencing the nature of consciousness that you are in so that you can be more and more conscious of being of this consciousness, and using the great breadth and depth and myriad of levels to explore this as consciousness, the earth plane and its consciousness, and consciousness in its purer form as we explored in the main seminar.
So, let us leap into this energy now. Somehow we are moving out into something we are already of but using our ability to perceive these energies.
Let us begin with your consciousness and making that shift, and then being drawn to recognizing consciousness.
Good. And from that purity of energy, that pure consciousness, recognizing the shared energy that the earth plane shares.
And pick another life form to make it easy to start, perhaps a life form you know well, a pet that is of a species, and you through that individual of that species have some recognition of its range and nature, its personality, its different perceptions than yours of the energy that you are in, shared consciousness of connections, trust, affection, and caring.
And in this interaction you recognize that all of this is a part of a larger whole of consciousness. And you recognize that it is in this pure consciousness that you can gain perspectives of the interactions at any given level and across many levels that you have in this interaction with the earth plane consciousness. And we are picking just this narrow set of levels now to start to gain our skill, as it were.
And noticing more of the interaction with this species you have chosen and that you know at least a little bit about, where there always seems to be in this interspecies interaction a mystery as to what they perceive and how they perceive. Humans often place such great value on intellectual experience, and much is missed and hidden by those measurements.
So finding those connections and the interactions that come from that as light. Not what you know in an intellectual or even an experiential way, but what you can experience as light of those interactions.
So that as you explore in this way you are noticing that those interactions, those abilities to make an interaction, to perceive an interaction, to act on that light and interaction, reveals a shared consciousness.
And from that revealed shared consciousness just experiencing light, whatever is in this space now, using this no time and your skill with non-fixity to take the light that you are experiencing now and begin to undertake its communication and begin absorbing, communicating as it were, recreating it, recreating their experience, and on and on.
So that as you play in this way, as you explore, you are finding that interaction that balance that you can use to perceive this energy, the nature of the earth plane energy from your consciousness, and using light as your medium of communication.
Very good. You have done very well in our exploration in this way. And we will go much broader and deeper in looking at this as energy that we can experience as light.
Very good. Now, just letting yourself come back to the light body, the light body cocoon, thanking your guide, and smoothly and easily coming back now to the time and space of the earth plane.
And with that, we bid you most pleasant journeys for now.

Program 03 LB714E_03T Duane: Talk
Duane: A key part of all of our experiences, and I use the word “key” because your consciousness is enabling you to recognize that it is not the only part, and that is physical matter.
Often our perception of the earth plane is so taken up by matter and interaction of matter and the consciousness that matter has in our building on that consciousness that we often, unless we at a personal level for sure really take the pause, the expansion, to recognize that there is energy here, there is light here, and there is communication beyond just the matter.
So to begin to more thoroughly move into the recognition of the influence that matter has on our consciousness DaBen is going to show us more of the energies or ways of noticing the energies of that matter and to experiencing it as light, and notice that its interaction, its consciousness, its way of expressing that consciousness is something that can be experienced as light as well, not just as sensations and physical body and the interactions of gravity and all of the forces that work to make matter what we experience.
So again, our experience is extended by science of course that gives us those perceptions, a very narrow range of what is possible, so let us expand and explore that in this next journey.
Okay, get comfortable for a journey.

Program 04 LB714E_04J DaBen: Perceiving light expressed as matter, consciousness as any degree of order
DaBen: Welcome.
It is our pleasure to assist you in exploring in this way, and it is with great enjoyment we see each of you reaching levels of consciousness and extending that out into who you are at many levels, your beingness.
So a part of your beingness is the way the earth plane is organized, the matter that is a much more basic, larger consciousness.
You may remember that in response to questions a long time ago we replied that consciousness is any degree of order. And although that at this level of human mind has significant validity, it does not really take your energy very deep into it, but you have the ability to experience that matter directly.
So let us take a very common and essential experience of matter, one that you use and do and be and are all the time, that in the physical way you breathe, you exchange, change the chemistry of oxygen in the air that you breathe. You have entire physical systems devoted to making those chemical interchanges, the physicalness, the matter.
And at a perception of your physical being that breath creates all sorts of energies that you can perceive; an emotional calmness with the right breath, or emotional agitation with a different breath, a clarity of mind with a particular balance of that breath and other elements. And then from there a whole range of chemistries of making and breaking carbon bonds, and on and on and on, that makes it possible for you to have achieved the mental consciousness and mind as a processor, as a receiver, as a representation of your presence on the earth plane.
The earth plane having made wonderful evolutionary changes to the way that matter is used in this way, but there are certain ways in which this matter, this organization, these elements work.
They have their own consciousness, as it were. Whether you perceive them as a set of chemistry or physics roles, it is a consciousness; consciousness that goes beyond just those roles. That you at some point will extend your consciousness to those levels, much lower levels than the mental, or at least on the conceit of the human mind that it is lower. In terms of its immensity and its depth of precision you might regard it even as higher.
So again, at a mental level non-fixity enables you to move fluidly from one level, perception at that level, to another, a perception at that level. And with light then to begin to find a common communication, a sharing of experience.
So return now to just noticing to the degree that you can the light that occurs in that physical being process of using oxygen as energy, breathing.
And as you look at that air, which is a small percentage oxygen, or reasonably small, and mix that in an atmosphere, the earth plane has created an environment, an ecosystem of immense complexity. And out of that evolving complexity, intricacy of energies, consciousnesses are being built, of which you are one, a vehicle of that consciousness.
And here once again we will explore a little more deeply but in much greater detail in future seminars the feedback here of the consciousness that is built in this physical form and the feedback from higher energies. And the synergistic as only a small part of the description of that feedback, that interaction, that being consciousness, of which you experienced by the smallest of the nature of that as you explored your interaction with a favorite species of yours.
Good. And now, using this light that you have explored here in this matter exploration in such a small part of that matter exploration, but as consciousness you can extend it, particularly as that pure consciousness, that recognized consciousness. You can extend it beyond and become conscious in at least a light degree, as it were, of the nature of that interchange without being able to sense the immensity of that interchange and the dynamic over huge volumes and interactions.
Good. Begin to collect, as it were, if that is the right word, these experiences as light of the consciousness at these various perspectives and levels, aspects even, of the earth plane energy, so that you can create a larger energy sense that is yours and can be used as light to perceive other energies.
Good. Now, just letting that go, coming back to the light body, the light body cocoon.
Good. And now, just thanking your guide and letting yourself come back smoothly and easily to the time and space of the earth plane.
And with that, coming back at your own pace and rhythm, we wish you most pleasant journeys for now.

Program 05 LB714E_05T Duane: Talk
Duane: Okay. As we have played in this way you have been doing very well with that. In this next journey we have a similar but different challenge of letting what we, quote, “already know” be open to discovering the energies as light, to perceiving that light.
As we look at this we are going to be looking at human culture, the human culture you are in particularly, and for the light body group it includes quite a range of the specifics and details of culture, beliefs and customs, and so on.
So as you look at the culture you are in, as you play, just notice it as an energy, as in part, as we have been playing with groups, very large in some ways and a broad, broad range of like attracts like, if we were to use that group energy, a very broad range. But it is dynamic, and it is evolving, and it is a part of the evolution of humans and human species.
If you recall our seminar many, many years ago on play, part of the thing that makes play play is an uncertainty of outcome and an ability to apply your skills and consciousness within a certain range. If it is too easy it is boring, and if it is too hard it is threatening.
As you look at the energies, recognize that you could at a personality level begin to shift your knowingness, your beliefs, to include the possibilities that the changes, the creative destruction, as it were, is a part of that cultural and thus the species’ evolution.
So recognize the energy of that now. That will be DaBen’s focus, consciousness.
Okay. I think that is all we need in introduction. Just be alert to you replacing your experiences with your knowingness, so to speak, rather than experiencing.
Okay, get comfortable for a journey.

Program 06 LB714E_06J DaBen: Perceive cultural interaction, as to enjoy evolution, uncertainty of outcome
DaBen: Welcome.
Such a joy to watch your energy as you exercise your consciousness, your ability to sense, your skills, your beingness as light. Truly a wonderful experience and sight, as it were.
So connecting with your guide now and moving to the light body, the light body cocoon.
Good. And now, as you shift and are drawn then, just the right energy, to recognizing consciousness space, and it is very close this time to just use that consciousness to find the energy, the consciousness of the species and the culture that you are of in your presence on the earth plane.
Good. And out of that as energy recognize such a broad range of consciousnesses, as individuals, as larger groups, and larger groups, and larger groups that make up this culture, this species.
And recognize that many of these cultural traits are acquired in such a long development of the human mind and body. At least a quarter of the human lifespan, life cycle, is spent just developing the mental and physical capabilities to be conscious at higher levels. And you as an individual have chosen to go beyond that earlier development and to expand and grow.
Many individuals who came before have created the possibility for you to do that, and you are creating the possibility for other generations in order to do that, to expand, to explore, to develop consciousness, to acquire these skills in which to transmit that consciousness.
We can assure you that even individual consciousnesses that are created and then after that individual’s life cycle the consciousness still is in the consciousness of the species, of the earth plane, and will be discovered and incorporated as the time values then that insight, that level of consciousness.
So that as you explore, as you are being in this space, as you look at that interaction, recognize it for the dynamic that it is, for the creation of consciousness that it is. But not in an intellectual or academic way, but as your experience of consciousness.
And in this light we will begin the process of acquiring that skill here, sense this consciousness even, of noticing that consciousness that you have achieved and how it has been possible as a part of these larger groups. And this group that is now and will be taking or enjoying these journeys, let that be the group right now for your sharing the consciousness, individually interpreted and perceived, but a shared consciousness.
And it is out of that group, out of that like attracts like, and soon within the culture the like begins to attract like and consciousness is shared and regarded as consciousness and interpreted as light, so that it is full of a whole range of the experience of consciousness, and that that evolution can begin to precipitate, to use a manifesting consciousness term that we used long ago, begins to precipitate into the space.
And as you experience this as light and you recognize that at a higher level this is a wonderful process to watch, this evolution. The outcome is a bit uncertain, but there will be an outcome. And if the outcome is one that is not acceptable to the culture, then that as an evolutionary consciousness will be discarded and a new one formed, new ones are formed.
And layers and layers of the way that those consciousnesses are expressed in individuals and in groups, ever dynamic, begins to take on the earth plane energy itself, for it is in and of this earth plane.
Good. And as light now experiencing this energy as light. Not as thought forms or attachments to particular beliefs or attachments to enjoyment of the energy, or attachments to anything. Non-fixity at this level, truly dynamic.
Noticing now in that shared consciousness from that recognized consciousness interaction and space that you have an experience of that consciousness and where its evolution openings are, so to speak, where you have glimpsed them for yourself.
You have worked on those energies, and you can see openings in your consciousness areas that you are drawn to explore, and your unique energy is making a contribution to that whole. You are a part of the group that is creating openings for you and all as individuals. And by noticing where your openings are drawing you, begin to recognize the possibilities for the group consciousness, the cultural consciousness, the species consciousness, even earth plane ability to be conscious and connect with other planes, as it were.
Good. And as we play in this way, recognize that as light you are bringing these elements together, much as you have played in the main seminar at doing that. And we will explore much more in this opening, living in the light of the earth plane.
Good. And just thanking your guide and letting yourself come back to the light body cocoon and then smoothly and easily to the time and space of the earth plane.
Good. And just letting that go, and now coming back smoothly and easily at your own pace and rhythm.
And with that, we bid you most pleasant journeys for now.

Program 07 LB714E_07T Duane: Talk
Duane: As we have been looking at perceiving, and looking at perceiving the consciousness of the earth plane energy, and to the degree that we can overcoming the fact that we are in that energy and using consciousness that we explored beyond the earth, those perspectives and those abilities to sense, and then using our connection to pure consciousness to sense even more, you are doing very well with that.
In the next journey let us look at just a bit more of the energy and the expansiveness, the joy of being able to perceive in this way. And then we will experiment even more in other areas of earth plane and begin to get down to, in a few journeys, perceptions of your beingness.
Okay. I think that is all we need in the way of introduction, so get comfortable for a journey.
Return to top
Program 08 LB714E_08J DaBen: Perceptions, how to perceive, using light to communicate
DaBen: Welcome.
As you perceive these energies as light, more and more using light as a way to perceive, as a way to communicate, even living as light, so that your interactions begin to be a part of and blend into, as it were, your experience more and more of your and all consciousness being in that flow.
Good. And now connecting with your guide and moving to the light body, and just letting the cocoon boundary dissolve so that your energy, the light body energy is carrying your abilities to perceive to a larger and larger volume.
And patterns form and move out on that energy, and new ones form and interact with ones that are further away. A joy to watch, to experience, to be light, totally fluid and free-floating, untethered, as a part of your perception of these energies now.
Just noticing your experience, as much of the whole range of your experience as possible.
So that this perception now, perceiving this energy, can be very fluid and move from level to level, perceiving your physical being on the earth plane as light, as energy, and we will play a bit more with that being your experience in another journey, to perceiving the pure consciousness of your consciousness.
Expanding to include those natures of the energy of the earth plane. And you have the perspective on that now from the portal as well.
And as you move more deeply into the earth plane energies, into the nature of creating energy and a food chain and such, creating the opportunity for consciousness at all of those levels an interaction, that as a part of your perception as well. Not as bright or fully formed as light or grasped as fully in your experience, but a part of your perception nonetheless.
So play now and recognize that there are areas that are not as equally perceived as others.
And take a moment to just enjoy the energy of having such a sensory system and senses and skill to perceive in this way this breadth of perception and the light as a way to communicate, the light as a way to interpret this perception.
Good. You are doing very well at following these shifts and making these openings, as it were.
Good. And now, having reached a level of perception and depth of perception and extended those levels to even physical being and to some sense of energies beyond the earth plane, fluid, being drawn as a part of that feedback that we have begun to explore.
Good. And just letting that go now, coming back to the light body, thanking your guide, and take a moment to just experience that joy, that sense of consciousness can take you anywhere sort of feeling.
And then at your own pace and rhythm now coming back to the time and space of the earth plane, smoothly and easily.
And with that, we bid you most pleasant journeys for now.

Program 09 LB714E_09T Duane: Talk
Duane: Okay. As you have been able to sense and be light, the range of what you can experience has increased to some degree and certainly gained in its completeness and its intensity and a whole other set of dimensions possible to experience.
So as we explore these perceptions now let us use some examples of exploration to look at scale and size and time, so that as a part of your perception becomes a natural sort of area or part of the perception that you notice, for with light it is there but you may not always notice it in enough acuity, enough clarity to have its importance be something that you evaluate for that experience.
So in this next journey we are going to look at that in just a little more depth.
Okay. I think that is all we need in introduction. And this journey in particular is just play, an opportunity to explore, abilities to perceive and to play, so get comfortable for a journey.
Return to top
Program 10 LB714E_10J DaBen: Perceiving range of scales, size, and in time as light
DaBen: Welcome.
As you develop more and more of your ability to sense as light, to be light, indeed to begin living as light, be in those spaces, perceiving, and no other equivalents that we are going to try to find language for or invent our own, but equivalents to that in light, perceiving in a variety of ways, and your senses have already begun to develop those, and so let yourself explore in that way.
Connecting with your guide now and moving to the light body, as far out in the cocoon as you can barely hold in your awareness, and if at times part of that volume slips away from your awareness that is fine, too. Let this energy coming back from the cocoon assist you in these perceptions with light.
So take as an example your own consciousness, you as consciousness on the earth plane, as you perceive that consciousness. And you can get an overall sense perhaps, but your consciousness and that interaction with the earth plane and all of the feedback that happens to make your being conscious in as dynamic a sense possible, you can only bring portions of that consciousness to your perception at any given instant.
You can do more with no time, but you do not have the level of perception there often that we are wanting to explore and develop. And so you can move fluidly back and forth between these sizes and scales of perception, between the times, and no time, and sequential time, and minutely sequential time, and even slice of time capturing that whole moment of energy and experience.
And then a part of this perception is to look at the size and scale, to recognize that you are a unique individual and that there are many billions of individuals, and then groups forming out of that like attracts like at an energy level, at a subtle energy, as light.
So you are seeing a large portion of this if you choose, you can perceive a large portion if you choose as light, recognizing that it is not but a portion.
And so there are as light certain variations in size and scale of your perception. And we will play in a later journey with the perception of smaller. There is a limit to how using light with your senses right now do not go too much smaller. You can stretch to move to a cell size, and you can use imagination, but not really yet as a sense to go smaller.
You may have noticed or can recreate part of your experience with the variations of light beings, for they use light as sort of openings that enable them to notice your energies and to open areas for you smaller.
Good. And now the perception of time as time. It varies from no time that your perceptions will grow immeasurably as you gain consciousness in this way and your ability to perceive energies within that will increase, and your fluidity, moving back to other perceptions, more sequential time, but a broad range of that.
And perception in light becomes within that time, how light is able to be perceived, come back to you, so to speak, so the perception of your consciousness, certainly the life cycle of a human on the earth plane, and as you build senses you can move even beyond that.
And there is interaction with other energies that involve perceiving time in particular ways, and your perception with light contains some of that information. And as you make it a part of your ability to perceive it becomes even more light that you can connect with, perceive as it were.
Take an example of a life form like a long-lived tree of hundreds or thousands of years, continuity of consciousness in an individual or in a community of trees, and open to this potential and probability.
So as you explore in this way then, explore and expand your ability to perceive, to be in this energy, earth plane in and of, perceiving as light, broader and broader spectrums. Begin just size and scale and time in the subtle energy realms and in carryovers from more the physical realm, but right now we are focused on the subtle energies.
You have begun to greatly enhance your perception in other wavelengths, frequencies, to use analogy words.
Good. Just letting that go now and thanking your guide, coming back to the light body, the light body cocoon, and enjoy here as well the process, being perceptive, perceiving, a dynamic of your consciousness revealed to you in this way.
Good. And now, having thanked your guide coming back to the time and space of the earth plane.
And with that, we bid you most pleasant journeys for now.

Program 12 LB714E_12J DaBen: Use light in cells to become alive to experiences of physical being
DaBen: Welcome.
As we explore now, as you expand your ability to sense and bring that to perception and interpret that in light, as light, communicate a recreation of your experience.
Good. And now connecting with your guide and moving to the light body, and holding the cocoon boundary easily within your ability to sense the entire volume now.
Good. Let us continue with a more energy in-depth experience of an example that we used before, breathing, the bringing in of oxygen for your chemical reactions that release energy, that creates matter, creates all of the matter that you form into various compounds and such, and look at the cell, of which there are trillions within your physical being.
You can begin to get a sense of that overall light that you have as you have experienced your beingness in a physical way.
And perhaps you still notice at times, and at times it is the best way to perceive your consciousness, as a physical being, as a body, and all of the interactions that these cells have with each other, coordinating, connecting, providing feedback, so that you can have a physical, a very sophisticated physical presence in the matter of the earth plane.
Very good. Now, there are many, many types of cells, arrangements of cells, and thus many styles and ways of being light. And so pick a type of cell.
And as you perceive that cell let your perceptions of size and scale, and size of similar cells and scale and life cycle and ability of their light to reach the details, or for you to reach the details necessary to have a sense of presence. And this cell as you perceive it as light, note that there has to be an exchange of light. Just as you have an exchange to maintain a physical presence, so do all cells.
And part of that exchange is the chemical exchange that we have been talking about, the creation of energy from resources, the balancing of those resources, the consciousness required to make those choices, to maintain just the right chemistry inside and respond to changing chemistry outside, the deciding when to replicate, when to grow more smaller parts of the cell and all their various functions.
An area that we are exploring in more depth with light now, an area we have called vast consciousnesses that you can begin to experience as consciousness with your ability to be fluid now, to observe from a variety of levels to increase your perception of the whole and entirety, and of in a less acuity way individual cells even, as energy, as light, certainly groups of cells.
So that as we play in this way you are gaining background to your ability to perceive. The context of energy on the earth plane can be expanded to include these energies. Your consciousness can bring that perception to your sense of being to create a consciousness of the earth plane that you are bringing your unique energies to.
Very good. And as you have explored here, let this expanded sense of your consciousness that will then influence your recognized consciousness and give you a greater and greater way of being.
And that is what we hope that you will be able to hold, incorporate, recognize, a greater and greater way of being, a broader and broader range and development of consciousness. In so doing you will add a great deal of power to your perceptions, your beingness at the higher levels as well.
Good. And with your consciousness now and your level of ability to sense and skill in holding these spaces, we are ready to go much more in depth of your beingness, of you at higher levels of consciousness, to develop more light to expand in the light body, to open to all the types of light that you have experienced so far and to create opportunities for more, to reach beyond time, beyond earth plane, to perceive your beingness on the earth plane with as much consciousness as you can build.
The opportunities that we see for all of you given what you have accomplished in your consciousness to be very exciting and large.
Good. So just letting that go, thanking your guide, coming back to the time and space of the earth plane, smoothly and easily, but in that smoothness quick enough to hold and transition the insights and perceptions that you have explored in these energies.
And with that, we bid you most pleasant journeys for now.

Duane: Okay. I hope you are ready for some in-depth looks at consciousness on the earth plane, your consciousness, your being able to develop consciousness on the earth plane, using as many of the consciousness and skills and senses that you have in inventive ways.
Okay. We will look at interactions that you have with other people on the earth plane. And DaBen will go into some detail of those experiments and expressions that you can work with and play with as you explore.
Okay. I think that is probably all I need to do as introduction. Just follow DaBen’s energies and instructions, and when you take off into an energy or looking at experiencing these energies, then just do that for a while and then pick up on whatever instruction is there.
Okay. I think that we are ready. Get comfortable for a journey.

Program 14 LB714E_14J DaBen: Personal interactions, revealing expressions of your consciousness
DaBen: Welcome.
We will be exploring next an area that you as a presence on the earth plane spend a good deal of your energy and time in looking at, in examining. Your personality was developed to allow these interactions on the earth plane. Language, to enable a more efficient interaction. And your cultures have built up language and written language and ways to communicate with an explosion in the last 100 years or so, and particularly in the last decade or so.
And so as you look at that, as you look at those interactions, those personal interactions, notice what consciousness you can gain, you can build from those interactions. And so we will look at that as an energy, as light, in this journey and in a few additional journeys.
We will start with having you think now of interactions or people that you have interactions with that you at a conscious level take as significant, regard as significant, regard as opportunities to build consciousness, your consciousness, perhaps as opportunities for you to build your consciousness in assisting them in some way or opening spaces, or you allowing them to open spaces for you.
As you explore and as you bring this more and more into light rather than just language or thoughts or thought forms or beliefs about what this relationship should be, what is it to you at an energy level now, or pretty close to now in time, for all of these relationships.
Everything has a life cycle, has a purpose, and that purpose is fulfilled, and then the cycle, the value, the interest is less.
And so picking first those interactions that you deem as significant. Recognize that as you look at building consciousness, and it is more involved in that that we will get into and using this feedback, but a very simplistic statement is that you are building consciousness. And so you are looking for areas that will assist you, interactions that will assist you in doing that.
And not all of those interactions need to reflect a perfect compatibility. In fact some of the growth, some of your building consciousness may occur from a distinct lack of compatibility. Just notice these as light, as energy, as your experience.
Good. And connecting with your guide, and notice that interaction as well. It already has a significant element of light or communication that is not language. Communication that is influenced by your ability to bring that communication into something that you can perceive, which may then be shaded and influenced by the belief systems and culture and so on. But notice that that relationship with your guide is one that opens these avenues to build consciousness.
And so now as you ask your guide’s assistance and just being alert to any translation errors in back and forth that you have as you recall, as you find your relationships and your interactions with them as energy, as light.
Good. And finding the light body, the light body cocoon. And let the cocoon boundary be as far out as you can fairly easily hold that volume, so that you have a volume in which to gauge, as it were, the nature of the light that you are experiencing.
Good. And just using your memory as best you can to bring back an experience that you can then interpret with light, for these interactions with other people involve far more levels than just the language, and far more than just body language. They occur at higher levels as well, and so you can find some of the experience of light there as well.
Good. And now, notice as you have done with other consciousnesses, and do it at a high level first, a level equivalent to what you were exploring as you shifted to recognizing consciousness.
As you recognize their consciousness, as you experience it, notice the areas of the larger consciousness that you share with this person. A consciousness that they have that you would enjoy experiencing so that you might interpret that and build consciousness in a similar way for your uniqueness.
Good. And with that interaction and with observing in that way notice if the nature of the interaction, the intensity, the integrity, could be shifted by you in some way to increase your ability to build consciousness from the interaction.
And all of you are experts at this. This has been a part of your spiritual growth. Experts at noticing. And we are sure that you know and apply often, we would imagine, that you cannot shift a person in an interaction before they are ready.
You can hold the space, and a lot of consciousness can be built on learning how to hold that space and not be insisting on an outcome or that they become different in some way. They have their consciousness that you have an opportunity to learn from, so to speak.
So as you find that as light now at these levels, spanning from a personal level, language interaction, a sharing of love and values and all of those things that you enjoy, to those levels of interactions you do not enjoy, to the higher looking at consciousness.
And you will discover that as you play in this way there often is a life cycle to this interaction, a learning that has been learned. So it can be shifted however you would like it to shift by you.
And so as you play in this way you are adding this higher consciousness dimension with your skills now to what you already have a mastery of. You are recognizing that your value, your consciousness-building value, is really your connection, your interaction.
Good. And pick another relationship now, personal interaction, one that you enjoy a great deal or one that is difficult or one that has become difficult, and begin to look at shared consciousness there and opportunities for revealing an expression that would build your consciousness, for without stimulus, and stimulus can be an extremely positive nature or it can be a frustrating nature.
Look at this relationship now.
Good. And we will look at other aspects of these interactions at the person-to-person level in different perspectives.
But from your consciousness now notice if you would agree that the value is the interaction, the potential for building consciousness.
And of course you have lots of interactions in your daily life to accomplish various goods and services that your being in a physical form requires, and that your culture has been built in such a way that you have an opportunity to participate in that. And you can notice those brief interactions, perhaps brief, with these individuals, and each provides an opportunity for interaction or an opportunity you can easily ignore at your choice. And you are free to choose.
Good. All part of living in the light of the earth plane.
And so just letting that go and coming back to the light body, thanking your guide at as many levels of communication as you can discover. And then smoothly at your own pace and rhythm coming back to the time and space of the earth plane.
Good. And with that now, we bid you most pleasant journeys.

Program 15 LB714E_15T Duane: Talk
Duane: Okay. We are going to follow DaBen as he takes us to some energies like the last journey and further out energies to build a contrast for you in your experiences so that you can be assisted in having perspectives fluidly at your call and have a broader range of perspective perhaps. And so this should be a really good afternoon of exploring back and forth of living in the light of the earth plane.
Okay. The next journey will be around purpose. We did a journey a long time ago called peace of purpose as a part of a seminar in several journeys around that theme.
You have been guided by that or by your purpose for all the time that you have been interested in growth, in attempting to figure things out, as it were.
And as you have acquired consciousness and created your unique circumstances and unique consciousness it still can provide you a guide, a guiding principle even, to your consciousness on the earth plane, to your acquiring consciousness, to the activities that you do like contributing or all of the things that you create or all the things that you engage in. That you can use your purpose as a guide at these levels with much greater consciousness.
And so let us explore, have DaBen show us more of what he means by doing that and how we are in that space.
Okay. I think that is all we need in the way of introduction, so get comfortable for a journey.

Program 16 LB714E_16J DaBen: Purpose guiding principle in acquiring consciousness, your uniqueness
DaBen: Welcome.
It is wonderful to watch you bring your consciousness to these familiar areas and to apply your ever-increasing consciousness to update your beingness in these areas.
So connecting with your guide, and recognize that as you do your guide can assist you in looking at the energies that you may not be conscious of yet that are directing you toward your purpose as you follow your various intuitions and synchronicities and consciousnesses, and as you use this fluidity and non-fixity level of the earth plane you can gain even greater insights into bringing about expressions of that purpose, of your purpose, and it is multi-faceted we are sure.
Okay. Moving to the light body, the light body cocoon.
Now, experiencing your consciousness, and shifting and then being drawn to recognizing consciousness space. You have become very good at experiencing this in depth, your consciousness.
And notice how you experience that as light. And begin to look at that consciousness in a larger sense of time, a life cycle, your life cycle. Not in the no time sense, but in a very compressed time, so that you can see how much of your purpose you have accomplished, more than your left brain would be able to discover.
So find it as light and let that continuum of light take you to an equivalent of now, your now, and then to the future, building toward your transition and preparing for going to another opportunity to build consciousness.
And as you experience that pure consciousness just let that experience become more and more a part of your experience of your consciousness. You begin to discover that in doing this in a very non-fixity sort of way that your purpose begins to take on an energy expressed as light.
Do not try to bring it to language, not yet, not yet, but as light, the beauty of that light, a sort of encapsulated expression of your beingness.
And that you have unique circumstances in your uniqueness of consciousness that make it possible for you to be, to become that purpose, to be the consciousness of that purpose, of that energy, of that entity that is, that has accomplished that purpose.
And here accomplished and other earth plane terms like that do not apply very easily because we are into this area of non-fixity and feedback that we have just begun to explore. That you have experiences with the portal and that fluidity that give you greater insights into experiences and expressions in living in the light of the earth plane.
And so translate that into light, these energies, and follow these shifts now.
Good. Just letting that be now, be your experience. Expressing that purpose becomes a natural part of your consciousness, an unfolding of your consciousness around purpose as a natural part of your beingness, to be noticed.
Good. And thanking your guide now and returning to the light body, and then smoothly and easily at your own pace and rhythm to the time and space of the earth plane.
And with that, we bid you most pleasant journeys for now.
Program 17 LB714E_17T Duane: Talk
Duane: The next journey we will begin an exploration of perceiving and getting into levels of thought forms and belief systems and mass thought forms and so on, and how you might perceive those as light.
And whether you can or how easy it is to perceive as light may be a good way for you to evaluate their worth to you, their value to you.
Be creative as you do this journey and open to releasing or letting go or detaching from long-held perhaps thought forms. Not because they are wrong, but because they hold no more energy for you. They are not your thought forms. They are not the way you perceive the energy.
Just be inventive. As the human mind so often does, there is not just one way, and there certainly is not a way that lasts very long. So enjoy the fluidity even at this level.
Okay, get comfortable for a journey.
Program 18 LB714E_18J DaBen: Refining how you perceive, distinguishing consciousness, thought forms
DaBen: Welcome.
As we explore in this area experiencing, interpreting your experiences, fitting them to a concept, a belief system, a thought form, not examining your thought forms or cultural thought forms.
As you gain consciousness, as you become more aware of your consciousness, more and more you will naturally begin to examine and explore, and that exploring and examining will become a natural part of your being, of your enjoying even, living in the light of the earth plane.
Good. Now, connecting with your guide and moving to the light body, the light body cocoon.
Now, with your guide’s assistance in staying within a focus begin to look at thought forms and belief systems from this level of consciousness now, from this fluidity.
And you might start with one of the human favorites, in your culture anyway, that there is only one right way to do things, or one right way to believe, or one right way to think. That blocks so much creativity. It is amazing that it has lasted so long.
And you have begun to discover with the light body that there are lots of ways to do things. There are lots of best, so to speak, ways of doing things, ways of experiencing.
And as you have experienced with the fluidity that you really got an in-depth experience with the portal energies and the non-fixity, that there is hardly a thought form. And a thought form that became a belief system is in this perspective almost an impossibility.
As you gain consciousness in this way you begin to recognize more and more that as you interact with those thought forms in the culture you need to know them, but to recognize that you have experienced things entirely differently. That your life to the degree that you have gained consciousness in those areas operates very differently, and at certain levels you use the cultural system, as it were, to create the results, the forms that you need, and in other areas you are inventing, you are exploring, you are finding new expressions.
So that as you explore, as you are in these spaces, your ability to perceive energies and with your consciousness to interpret and to be able to invent new expressions will come easily and automatically with just you noticing the energy does not quite carry the consciousness that you enjoy.
Very good. Recognize that as you play in this way you are building consciousness. That that thought form that you no longer hold, a mass thought form perhaps that you no longer accept as your experience of your energy, of consciousness in general, that you have built consciousness by discovering how the energy is in your experience, not in having discovered that it is not the way that the mass thought form that you accepted was, but consciousness by discovering what your experience is.
Consciousness is based on your experience. It comes from, is built on experiencing.
Good. And just letting that go now. We have begun this exploration at the level of your interaction with other humans on the earth plane.
Good. And just letting that go, thanking your guide, coming back to the light body, and smoothly and easily coming back to the time and space of the earth plane.
And with that, we bid you most pleasant journeys for now.
Program 19 LB714E_19T Duane: Talk
Duane: Okay. We are going to explore next into journeys with very different scopes, as it were, but we are going to explore the same aspect of noticing as light, being in the energy that you can experience from that light, so that you can continue to develop your consciousness in this area or these areas as a way of experiencing that fluidity and flow of consciousness.
Okay. I think that is all we need in the way of introduction, so get comfortable for a journey.
Program 20 LB714E_20J DaBen: Perceive earth as consciousness flowing between all as light
DaBen: Welcome.
As you have gained the ability and the senses, as you have opened to recognizing consciousness, you can begin to follow flows of consciousness in some types of consciousness, in some ways of being, some energies and patterns of your ability to perceive the energy. And as you play in this way, as you explore just for the fun of doing so, that skill will develop, your senses will become more sensitive, you will become more conscious.
Okay. In this journey we are going to perceive the earth and its living in the light of earth that you are, perceiving the earth as a large ecosystem, for lack of a better term, where you can discover consciousness flowing between its various species, its minerals, its entire structure of those minerals, its atmosphere, its complex and intricate systems that maintain an environment that you have the oxygen you need, temperatures you can survive, and on and on.
So let us play with that to just begin to get a sense.
Connecting with your guide and moving to the light body so that you might use the light body now to notice and experience the light of the consciousness as you explore the various systems of the earth and its light.
Good. The cocoon boundary as far out as you can easily hold, and we may even move it further out if this becomes too crowded.
Okay. Just being in the earth plane energy in your experience. Your consciousness is of and in earth plane energy, and you can expand out now on all of the energy that you use from the energy you take in through breath and eating, through the experience of the beauty about you, to the enjoyment and challenges of the atmosphere and weather and such.
Recognize the consciousness flowing between these various elements, species, the food chain of species, the majesty and dignity and beingness of some of the species, this consciousness flowing from them to other species. And not just a food chain sort of thing, but a consciousness, an awareness, an interaction, a caring even.
All sorts of levels of consciousness from experiences that we learn of and from single-cell organisms to fungi to various plants, and the animals of course. A flow of consciousness, a shared consciousness and a flow of consciousness, all earth plane expressions.
Experience this light.
Now, we have been using material physical forms as our point of reference, and there is really little else we can use. Expand that now to consciousness, all the various and varied forms, millions, types of consciousness and interactions, from single cells to complex organisms, from molten elements and molten rock, but elements, to complex minerals and complex compounds, and the ever dynamic, even at the level of continents refreshing and renewing, to the level of atmospheres, to the interaction of photons and sunlight, all a consciousness.
Just experiencing as you can that flow as light, perceived as light, letting your ability to be light bring you information about these flows of consciousness.
Good. From this space now with a broader consciousness holding as much of this consciousness, the flows particularly of this consciousness, the interactions, the feedback, just enough to give you a sense of its beauty and intricacy, the fineness of its ability to serve and create every aspect.
Good. And just enjoying that space now, coming back to the light body, and thanking your guide. And when you are ready coming back to the time and space of the earth plane, smoothly and easily.
And with that, we bid you most pleasant journeys for now.
Program 21 LB714E_21T Duane: Talk
Duane: In this next journey DaBen is going to lead us to look at human culture and evolution, this human species on the earth plane. Not in physical form necessarily, but in consciousness, in the way that consciousness develops.
So again, following the flows of consciousness within the various cultural elements and cultures on the planet. Just find them as energy. You need not know anything about them per se, just as energy, the way they interact, the feedback they form, the consciousness they are developing.
As though you were an anthropologist or such studying consciousness of these elements without making any evaluations as to whether that is a really workable thing or that is not workable. Just playing that consciousness, enjoying that consciousness as you follow it, enjoying your ability to perceive this energy.
Okay. Get comfortable for a journey.
Program 22 LB714E_22J DaBen: Perceive currents, patterns within various human cultures, evolution
DaBen: Welcome.
Now, connecting with your guide and asking your guide for assistance in maintaining a perspective so that you can perceive these energies, these consciousnesses, these currents and patterns within the various human cultures, and just experience those flows, and playing with time and no time, begin to experience the evolution, creative destruction of these consciousnesses as expressed.
Good. And the light body now, using it as your way of sensing, going as far out in the cocoon as you can comfortably hold that entire volume now.
And let us begin small with this group right now that will be listening to these journeys or playing with energies along these lines and sense the flow of consciousness in this group that you have done often with similar groups.
And since it is evolving consciousness it has in this particular group a life cycle, as it will join other groups and dissolve. But even in the space of this journey you can begin to sense an evolution, a flow between the consciousnesses and in this entirety of this group and its connections to other consciousness.
Good. And now expanding out to pick elements, groups within the culture, to find their flows.
Using like attracts like here, those individuals that are able to experience these subtle energies and those who have not yet experienced those energies. The subtle energy that you have been drawn to for a long time and the flow of consciousness between those groups, for consciousness does flow, just not as easily or noticeably at all perhaps in this area of subtle energy, but those that are not able to sense it are still influenced by it and their consciousness is shifted because of it, just as your consciousness has shifted by those areas that do not move in quite the same way.
So that you have this interaction, this flow of consciousness in these patterns, that as you look throughout time, compressing that, and not into no time but into larger and larger collections of consciousness in time, notice how that is evolving as well, those that can sense this energy. And you can do this with other areas as well, other elements of this consciousness.
But let us right now begin to expand this out to the evolution of the subtle energy, as an example, into the culture, the flow into then a fixity, a belief system. And eventually, or it may not take this form, eventually as you have done a flow into a non-fixity at the higher levels, an openness, a fluidity of ways of being conscious.
Sometimes those will be expressed as belief systems and other times it is just experienced the way it is and not examined. Just notice that evolution, the way it moves and flows.
And just as if you could watch your evolution, it will not be linear, it will not go from this level of consciousness to a higher level without some, for lack of a better term, chaos in between, the process of creating and destroying, and creating and testing, until something that brings you consciousness emerges.
Good. You can begin to see the consciousness work or begin through its various expressions to work that feedback, to try, to test. And with so many elements, individuals, as it were, it gives us a robustness and a certain time frame in which it takes to have a consciousness emerge as a group, as this larger culture.
Good. You are doing very well following these energies. It is a joy to watch your explorations finding this as energy. And we hope you have been able to avoid the temptation, until you cannot, of bringing it into language and thought forms, so tempting.
Okay. Thanking your guide, letting yourself come back to the light body, and then smoothly and easily coming back to the time and space of the earth plane.
And with that, we bid you most pleasant journeys for now.
Program 23 LB714E_23T Duane: Talk
Duane: We have been looking at earth plane as an energy, as consciousness, as light. Let us look in time now a little more to gain perspective on earth plane and earth itself.
And to not go beyond the earth per se now, but to just know that it has connections on these subtle realms and in physical ways to surrounding planets, to planets on the subtle realms probably far away, at least in human scale, and the sun and on and on, these connections.
And the earth also has a life cycle. So let us look at where we are as humans in that life cycle. DaBen will assist you in exploring that.
Okay, get comfortable for a journey.
Program 24 LB714E_24J DaBen: Larger perspectives on culture, life cycle of earth
DaBen: Welcome.
Very good. So finding that energy now of the consciousness of the earth plane and the earth itself. We have played here before. Let us look in light of the human cultures we have been playing with, the human species. Let us look at this again.
Connecting with your guide, and your guide may have perspectives to be able to show you as you observe the energies on other planes as well.
So moving to the light body now and expanding out as far as you can comfortably hold with the cocoon.
Good. And with that energy, that consciousness that you are experiencing as light of the planet and the earth plane that has developed in the consciousness about and through and by the planet and its connections with all of these subtle energies, begin to play in that regard as clear a connection to the energies as you can establish.
And so maybe begin by looking at the energy of what the cycle might be and to energetically ask the question as the consciousness of the planet, of the plane that you are a part of, that of a mature planet, a juvenile planet, a very young planet.
And as you have come to enjoy the earth plane, to contribute to the earth plane, you have the consciousness that you can share, and some of your consciousness in the pure consciousness is shared by you from or with the earth.
So notice first the immensity and the power of the processes of the earth. And know that your scientists have found millions of species that have through time, millions of years, billions of years, come and then gone extinct. That there is a dynamic here as well.
The planet is developing its consciousness, and that expression is through its species, and that species creating opportunities for connections perhaps to the subtle energy realms. That may be something that humans add a new aspect to for this planet.
And what your scientists know and what you can probably sense in the consciousness of this energy is it is not a young planet. It has the ability to constrain the atmosphere and temperature and all the various volcanic processes that are a part of its being.
And it has managed to create a stability for many species, including the humans, for at least in a short time for a planet anyway, for a couple million years an environment that has changes and ice ages and such, but always to develop consciousness for the species, and others as well, of course, to provide the opportunity for humans anyway to exercise their skills with discovery and tools, as it were.
What you are assisting here is the development of a species on a planet that has favored a stability during this period and favored a stability in other life forms.
Let this experience now tell you, give you some idea, not tell you per se, but some idea as to the maturity and where this evolution of the planet might open opportunities for the species as well, for the culture that we have been playing with, or different levels and timeframes, all consciousness interacting and giving feedback and forming these connections.
Good. As you explore now, as you become more conscious, you will be able to know how to explore larger and smaller consciousness and those patterns and flows and connections so that you will have, for lack of a better term, a context, or the energy equivalent of that, so that you recognize the size and scale and scope and time all having influences, all being this consciousness.
And that you cannot really separate out from these connections. You can gain consciousness, and you are influencing those connections, you are being influenced by those connections. You are joining in a way we have talked about in the past, you are joining that flow.
Good. Now, just letting that go, thanking your guide. You are doing very well. It is such a pleasure to watch you gain consciousness in such interesting advances or gains.
And with that now, thanking your guide, coming back to the light body, the light body cocoon, and then at your own pace and rhythm coming back to the time and space of the earth plane.
And with that, we bid you most pleasant journeys for now.
