What Is Trance?

By

 Trance is like being tuned in to radio station(s) beyond the frequency listened to and registered by typical states of mind.

            Trance is a state which allows attunement to information beyond the typical frequencies / information bands of day-to-day human functioning.  As such, it is highly generative, highly creative, and highly transformative.

            A friend / colleague of mine refers to her trance experiences as “dancing in the dimensions”.  Some people refer to trance as “altered states of consciousness”.

            Trance allows an expansion of perception – pure perception of what is – without (or with less of) the interpretation of the ego brain.  As such, it allows quantum expansion of human consciousness.

            I first began experiencing trance states ‘lightly’ as a child.  When I was ten I received the first of many ‘Visions’ I would ultimately be shown by sources beyond human, incarnate consciousness.

            By the time I was a young teenager, I was scribing ‘poetry’ – not that I intended to write, rather that I felt ‘a tap from within, asking me to write’.  The process of scribing (“the author thinks i am its feather”) was intricate and precise.  I would ‘feel’ where the words were to be written – or printed – on the page.  The size of the letters, the shape of them, the precise placement and usage of punctuation or its absence.  Pen, or pencil.  The words themselves were absolutely precise.  I would ‘Know’ when I was ‘hearing’ the word or words accurately.  When I sensed that I was not, quite, I would ‘listen in’ with greater stillness, with greater openness, until I ‘Knew’ that I was ‘hearing’ / receiving the word with absolute accuracy.

            I had never heard of channeling, or of automatic writing.  It was years later that I realized that, already in my early teens, I was being initiated – trained by unseen consciousness – to ‘channel’ messages from dimensions beyond our own.

            In the summer of 1988 I participated in one of the early Stein Festivals in the remote, rugged, exquisite, sacred Stein Valley north of Vancouver, Canada.  During this weekend of camping, I became very cold.  So cold that I could not eat or drink.  Likely bordering on hypothermic, my inner thermostat shifted.  I had been a ‘warm blooded’ teenager.  Suddenly my inner set point was now very cold.

            That weekend began the direct presence of a ‘guide’ in my life.  For a full year I had no clue ‘who’ it was that was guiding me.  (I had never read, or spoken with anyone, about the language or presence or existence of disincarnate ‘guides’.  Yet I knew, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that this was what I was suddenly experiencing.)

            I began to be trained in ‘dual consciousness’ – being able to be present, consciously, on two levels (or more) at once.  Practically speaking, this meant that I was rapidly being trained – by an unseen ‘guide’ – how to be present and functioning and interacting in the ‘physical’ world with ‘physical’ people and be increasingly present with a world as-yet-unseen.

            Prior to this, I had experienced increasingly extended periods of ‘trance’ – periods of time in which my body energy (including energy to think and engage in the outer world) was considerably diminished.  I would lie for hours and often days, my body so leaden that no effort on my part could lift or move it. 

            During these states, I would sense a serene, blissful presence surrounding me infinitely into ‘Space’.  I was ‘held’ by this energy, blissful as a feather, able to experience whatever it was that I was experiencing.  Rarely was there any conscious recognition or understanding of what I was ‘receiving’ or being ‘shown’ – albeit on levels of consciousness significantly elevated from my physical, worldly state.

            Each time one of these trance states would subside, I would again be fully functional, fully integrated into my ‘daily life’.

            All this was clearly preparation for ‘the big one’ – the first trance state that endured for months, without support or aid of physical people or physical people’s presence and understanding.  In 1990/91, true to a Vision I received when I was ten, I entered ‘seclusion’.  (See Birds’ Eye View – A Travel Guide to the Universe.)  I was unplugged from human culture – awareness of Time and any timely commitments or societal interactions.  And I was effectively ‘re-wired’ to begin to receive downloads – what would become, over time, coherent understandings and articulations of ‘potentialities’ beyond what we, as humans, currently experience.

            To receive these ‘downloads’ requires tremendous stillness – both inner and outer.            More on this to come …

Questions to Ponder:  Do you sense that you have in the past or do currently experience ‘trance states’?  How do you personally recognize when you are in a trance state?

  2. Its like you read my mind! You appear to know a lot about this, like you wrote the book in it or something. I think that you can do with a few pics to drive the message home a bit, but instead of that, this is great blog. An excellent read. I will definitely be back.

  3. Thanks for any other informative blog. The place else may just I get that type of info written in such an ideal approach? I have a challenge that I am simply now running on, and I’ve been at the look out for such information.

  6. This is the right blog for anyone who wants to find out about this topic. You realize so much its almost hard to argue with you (not that I actually would want…HaHa). You definitely put a new spin on a topic thats been written about for years. Great stuff, just great!

  18. Oh my goodness! an amazing article dude. Thank you However I am experiencing issue with ur rss . Don’t know why Unable to subscribe to it. Is there anyone getting identical rss problem? Anyone who knows kindly respond. Thnkx

  26. All the posts are actually about trance, as this – altered states of consciousness / intuition / insight – is how I receive much of the information that I write / scribe.

    The “Lifting the Lid” posts are very much about trance.

    More directly on ‘how to detect trance’ coming … eventually!

    Warm regards!
