The Bridge of Light…another way of saying the antaskarana, is a form built of substance for the purpose of bringing through the needed energies to aid humankind. I mean, what does humanity need any help with?
There was a time when the word antaskarana made absolutely no sense to me. Even coming across the word in my reading through the Alice Bailey material would cause a little anxiety. It was a concept I hadn’t reached yet, but to get there I had to find my way home first.
In my story, Field of Dreams, I talked about people from the Other Side poking their two cents worth into my plea to God that I would do the mediumship work available to me. I hadn’t expected a wake-up call like that, but it said something…about myself…that hadn’t dawned on me before. The ability to do this work was a development that happened within me; hence, the antahkarana was being built.
One evening, I sat in my living room while my family watched a movie called Arrival, starring Amy Adams. As I took notes through the movie, my pen and paper were in hand—I felt thick-headed as I tried to absorb the transmission coming through. Namely, the concept of time is illusory, and once we can let go of time constructs, understanding manifests.
In the movie Arrival, Louise Banks, played by Amy Adams, is given a telepathic understanding of what it means to master the time equation. This happens to her through her own life experiences in the future. In other words, it hadn’t happened yet. The intimacy of the details of her life come to her through vivid dreams and are characterized by the lucidity of which they come through to her – giving her the feeling as if she were actually living out future experiences in the present moment. How does this lead to the development of understanding?
Louise’s future self goes through some traumatic life experiences – something most of us may have tried to avoid if we had the awareness. These circumstances happen to her future self as a result of having fallen in love, getting married, and having a baby. Now, without giving the storyline away completely, in the end, she continued to live out her life’s circumstances even when she was aware of the outcome – only something within her seemed to have awakened - the antahkarana had been revealed to her through her own sense of timeless being.
I’m not saying I have the rest of my life figured out, only the present moment, which is all there is.Â
