“Let\u2019s go into the high country while we are still in the body. Do Soul travel and have an out-of-the-body experience.”<\/em> – John Morton<\/p>\n

This article comes from a sharing session John had in July 2025 with students\u00a0in Peace Theological Seminary (PTS) undergraduate and self-paced classes.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is a gathering into our consciousness of who we are.\u00a0 All of it.\u00a0 Whatever awareness you have and whatever awareness you consider you don\u2019t have.\u00a0 It is what you are conscious of and what you are unconscious of.\u00a0 It is something like \u201ctwilight\u201d or semi-consciousness.<\/p>\n

There is a lot of dimensionality in who we are.\u00a0 It is important to get on to what is powerful, beautiful, clear, and loving.\u00a0 If I said something like \u201cthe worst, most painful and suffering,\u201d do you get the difference?\u00a0 See how easy that is?\u00a0 We get the difference.<\/p>\n

Even if it\u2019s not easy to understand, why would there be the worst of it?\u00a0 If we could choose the best of it, is the worst of it even necessary?\u00a0 Consider that ultimately, it is not necessary.<\/p>\n

Enter Soul Transcendence.\u00a0 It is a climax.\u00a0 Is it the end?\u00a0 It is the end of what is no longer necessary.\u00a0 So, \u201cI won\u2019t have to have negativity kick me around, disrespect, mislead, betray and torture me?\u201d\u00a0 You better be careful what you are focusing on because it has a magnetic quality to it. It is still unnecessary.\u00a0 Choose not to get involved or focus on that any more than necessary.<\/p>\n

Why would it be necessary?\u00a0 For your learning.\u00a0 You may wonder, \u201cI need to learn this?\u201d\u00a0 If you are creating, promoting, or allowing it, you do not need it.\u00a0 You don\u2019t have to do it.\u00a0 If we follow the guidance, we can move further away from what we don\u2019t need because we don\u2019t choose it.\u00a0 We can move so far away we don\u2019t even hear it anymore.<\/p>\n

It is an altitude.\u00a0 There are things you hear at an altitude you don\u2019t hear in the valley or the lower level.\u00a0 You can get into a consciousness where the negativity does not exist because you are not processing it.\u00a0 It can go into something John-Roger talked about – a very high consciousness as initiates.\u00a0 It\u2019s called Soul level initiation.<\/p>\n

You have established yourself.\u00a0 You are still in a body, but you are a very high-level initiate.\u00a0 All you need to do is finish.\u00a0 Just complete your life.\u00a0 Let your last breath in the world be choosing back into your Soul initiation. That\u2019s it!<\/p>\n

However, while you are here, you may choose something like, \u201cI think I\u2019ll come back for that.\u201d\u00a0 It can be that simple.\u00a0 Be careful what you indulge.\u00a0 Be careful what you choose.\u00a0 Be especially careful what you focus upon and then create.<\/p>\n

Energy follows thought.\u00a0 It follows your focus.\u00a0 If that sounds like entrapment, it\u2019s not.\u00a0 As you develop your intelligence you just don\u2019t do stupid stuff.\u00a0 You stop doing it.\u00a0 You know better, then you do better.\u00a0 We are in that movement.<\/p>\n

You are smart enough to be here, so let\u2019s get on with it.\u00a0 Process whatever level you are on.\u00a0 Let\u2019s go into the high country while we are still in the body.\u00a0 Do Soul travel and have an out-of-the-body experience.\u00a0 We have developed the experience that becomes the consciousness that becomes the awareness of who we are in the Soul while we are still in this world.<\/p>\n

That is my work.\u00a0 Welcome to it.<\/p>\n

Blessing of the Sacred<\/h5>\n

Now let\u2019s bring our self into a quiet, into this sacred energy,
\nthis sacred presence that\u2019s before us now
\nso that we can behold Him, behold what it is.
\nIf it does come to us in any form recognizable,
\nthat we do behold Him,
\nthat we do pay homage.
\nThat we would bow at the feet,
\nnot that we are somehow inferior
\nbut that we recognize the sacredness.<\/p>\n

We each become a willing servant as a willpower,
\nan act of will and dedication,
\nknowing our life is Your life.
\nThere\u2019s a sense of the Divine giving to us so powerfully
\nthat we can\u2019t contain it.
\nAs it rushes in, it rushes out as a giving, as a presenting energy.
\nThat yea, I have been with you.
\nI am here to be with you ever more.
\nI am the beloved Traveler.
\nBaruch Bashan<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
