The Seventh Node

The deeper we go into the nodes, the more encompassing the topics become. To keep the lesson relevant and condensed I am just selecting the core pieces that fit in with our study. With each of the previous Nodes there is considerable more information available, but that is something you can learn over time.

The Seventh Node is tied in to your place in the human genetic pool. It is tied in to the place where you are connected to everyone and everything else at the genetic level. Every genetic molecule in your body is loaded with information and intelligence. That genetic consciousness is filtered through the Seventh Node, but it is so much more. In order to capture the practical essence of the Seventh Node, it is referred to as the  "Collective Node," the place where you are connected to the Collective Mind of the planet, also the Collective Unconscious of Humanity. In this "realm" you will encounter Archetypes, best explained by Jungian models, group memories, and levels of "stored knowledge" that have accumulated across time. Access to the Seventh Node is a very powerful experience. It can happen randomly or you can train yourself to access it by careful discipline.

 The Collective Node can best be expressed in the language of intuitive metaphor, Dreamtongue, so I will give examples of that to get you started in a sampling from the Auroraportes, a special group of books I wrote using "Dreamtongue" as a language, heavily emphasizing intuitive metaphor. Storytelling can be a powerful way to tap into the Collective Node.  Yet the Collective node is not easily "activated." By activated I want to make clear that all nodes are working all the time.

"Activated" means that a node becomes engaged with a subject or target creating a communication flow between you and the subject.

All nodes rest as "potentialities" until engaged. Even the Connection node, which almost always seems to be working, rests when we are daydreaming or thinking hard about anything but where we are at the moment. Theoretically speaking, the Collective Node "remembers" everything that ever happened to the human race (or even more). That means that somewhere inside of you is the genetic memory of every stage of human evolution, every era of mankind, and every civilization that ever existed. Makes you sound like a walking library, right? Well, at this level you are. The challenge is accessing these great records, which is possible and is something you can train yourself to do.

As a higher number node you know that it is a "deeper" or harder to access node.   This does not imply that it is not relevant to your own personal experience, only that it is a specialized part of your psyche that is not always called upon.  It is where you are "plugged in to humanity" at a genetic level - through biochemistry, nuclear physics, and whatever explanations we have not yet uncovered.    Tapping into the Seventh Node is like tapping into an amazing "crystal ball" which can show you the history of life on this planet, down to individual lives that were lived.  It is possible to tap into this information and mistake it as "past life recall", when really it is only a record that is being accessed.   This level of mind has been relegated to the "metaphysical" and "speculative",  yet is a very important part of our foundation when it comes to finding true perspective when looking at human behavior.  In order to understand individuals we have to also understand the group. As an Empath, you are in the position of becoming an expert on the human condition by virtue of your abilities/gifts combined with the studies and disciplines you take on.  Just being able to "read" people is not enough - you need to know what you are reading and you need to know what you are talking about.

When your Collective Node is activated, you will tend to be in much more of a "reflective, introspective" mode, combined with a "learning" mode, because when we open to deeper nodes - the outer ring  or conscious mind learns from that. This is where the process of information "coming from within" happens.   You can actually be taught by your greater nodes. I observed and studied this process over twenty-five years in my work with the Qabalah.  I worked extensively with the Mystical Qabalah, as laid out by people like Dion Fortune, who took a universal perspective on the subject.  The core of the word "qabalah" means "reception" - and the teaching itself implies "direct reception" or "direct teaching."  The principle is fairly simple:  Everything is energy.   All energy is information.   Where we connect with energy we also connect with information. 

The main distinction between the Sixth and Seventh Nodes is that the TelePathic node picks up "active, dynamic" information - events/energies currently in play.  The Seventh Node accesses stored and collective information which is always available, it is a great data bank which exists within the holographic fiber of existence..  As you might be thinking, as you mature as an Empath you will have greater access to these nodes, whereas right now they may seem elusive or unfamiliar to you.  What I mean, essentially, by a fully awakened, self-actualized Empath, is that a self-actualized Empath has developed a conscious working relationship with all Eight Empath Nodes.  You will see, that as we covered the last of the nodes, this is not such an elusive goal.  You have come further than you think 

The deeper you reach into your mind, the deeper the node you are reaching for, the greater the wisdom required.  Yet the wisdom exists within those deep wells and the experience of "diving so deeply" within yourself opens doors to personal transformation.  Once you start reaching for the greater nodes you set into motion a series of transformations.  These transformations "recapitulate" or "replay" the whole structure of the mind, meaning all of the nodes and EM Paths, touching each level.   It is not really necessary for student Empaths to study the transformations themselves but some choose to use them as guideposts, benchmarks, etc. in their own development.

Once we have discussed the eight Primary Nodes,  we will begin to talk about transformation, the 36 transformations of the Empath, and the process of maturing into a fully awakened, self-actualized Empath. 36 sounds like a lot of transformations, and it is, but it is really nine stages of growth that occurs on four levels.
