Spiritual concepts
Perceptions - what happens to perceptions
An analogy
In order to improve a computer system, the developers of that system ask for, and design in, the ability to get feedback. On your computer, if something goes wrong there is a message that goes from your computer to the developer's computer via the Internet and tells them something has happened. All day and every day thousands upon thousands of messages arrive at the developer's site, where they are analysed and cross referenced and this analysis is used to improve the system.
In effect, there is a control loop in operation with output from the users of the system being used to improve the system itself. It may result in better software, it may even help the hardware manufacturers produce better hardware. Most new versions of software are based on this feedback, whereas new configurations tend to be planned around the objectives of the developer [which is competition driven].
In effect there are two methods in place by which computer systems are improved - one is evolutionary change based on feedback and the other is objective based change based on 'ideas' and competition.
Perceptions and the spiritual world
And it appears that this is exactly what the spiritual world does with Perceptions. Perceptions are a totally accurate log of what is happening in the physical plane, far better than the feedback a computer system developer gets.
And the perceptions are in part used to provide assistance to those that really need it - the Spirit helper - who answers our prayers or cries for help.
The beggars rags fluttering in air
Does to rags the heavens tear [William Blake]
But equally important, Perceptions are used as the basis for evolutionary change of the systems of the universe.
When scientists blithely talk about 'Nature' doing this and 'Nature' doing that, and how the change of a beak on a bird was due to evolution and not 'God', they fail to mention what 'Nature' is and how this is achieved. The idea that genetic accidents produce accurate design changes has long since been ridiculed out of the picture. And I don't know about you, but I don't seem to have any control at all of my own genes and how they evolve.
So in Perception logging and the Intelligence hierarchy we have a definition of 'Nature'. Nature is the Intelligence hierarchy and it evolves species by monitoring how they get on and changing the software and the hardware of our species.
Where do they go?
Perceptions go 'up' in spiritual terms. This is evident from all the observations I collected where in symbolic terms bubbles go up, clouds rise, balloons go up, balloons lift off in the wind to be blown upwards. All perceptions go 'up' through the spiritual layers.
Not physically. They don’t physically go up to the moon or the planets or the sun or any other physically existent place. Any reference to these places in poems or mystical literature is symbolic and allegorical. ‘Up’ simply indicates the direction in vibrational terms -up the levels and layers.
In Chinese medicine, for example, all spiritual inputs/outputs are known as ‘Ancestral Qi’ or ZONG QI. The character for Zong Qi shows a roof symbolising a temple - us - and three verticals which symbolise three symbolic ‘routes’ by which the uploads and downloads can be made - the symbolic path to the Sun, the symbolic path to the Moon and the symbolic path to the Stars. One of these forms of Ancestral Qi is the red route. The 'up' route of perceptions.
