What association comes to mind when you hear the term ‘portal’?
For most people, the term ‘portal’ sounds like something that belongs to science fiction and fantasy movies, or astrophysics, and the mental associations that arise are of something inaccessible, abstract, vague and even esoteric and unreal.
But portals – which are gates to different reality dimensions – exist right here, around us, are part of our reality, and are accessible in our daily lives as part of our life processes here on Earth.
Before you continue reading, I would like to ask you to leave aside any reluctance or prejudice you might have towards the term, express a willingness to expand your consciousness, and let’s dive together into a portal…
So how do we go through portals and expose ourselves to new realities?
Our reality is full of portals – gates that allow us to move between dimensions.
As I wrote in the beginning, most people think that moving through portals can be done by using spaceships or magical gates that lead to fantastic and fictional realities, while in fact the movement through a portal is done via a shift from one state of consciousness to another, which occurs when you expand your perception and open to new spectrums of reality.
There are many different and diverse ways to expand your perception and open your consciousness.
Throughout human history, humans have strived to expand their consciousness and experience a more expanded reality than the existing one. This desire has come out of reasons such as curiosity, spiritual search, a desire to receive inspiration, or a passion to awaken the psyche and embark on joyful and stimulating journeys. This desire has led to religious rituals, usage of mind-altering substances, occult practices and mysticism, music and arts, and additional means all meant to lead from one state of consciousness to another, to open the senses and expand them, and to enable an experience of reality that lies beyond the familiar, visible and known.
The ability to expand consciousness lies within each one of us. At its base lies the willingness to undermine the existing perception in order to open up to a broader perception, to undermine one state of consciousness in favor of a new one.
The undermining of perception can be initiated or random, but it leads to a change of perspective that is usually accompanied by a mental and emotional experience that constitutes a significant event that changes the individual from within.
Are you familiar with having a sudden insight that changes the entire way you observe yourself, the world and life?
This is a moment in which you go through a portal, meaning that your consciousness jumps from one state to another.
The difference between going through portals randomly or with an initiation
As mentioned, going through a portal can be random and instant, or gradual and initiated.
In both cases, a shift from one state to another has occurred. The shift can be sudden and without preparation or it can be established gradually as part of an initiated process that involves crossing a critical mass, followed by a jump from one state of consciousness to another.
In a sudden jump that holds no prior preparation, those going through a portal can find themselves in an experience they are not ready and able to contain mentally and emotionally. This experience can thus be perceived as traumatic, or alternatively fade away as a vague memory that has no practical meaning.
In a planned and initiated jump, a person creates a mental basis that holds the willingness and the maturity to go through one state of consciousness to another. In this way, the moment the jump takes place and the transition through the portal occurs, they are probably capable of containing both the experience and the new broad-spectrum and even deriving practical meaning from this for their lives.
An initiated transition through a portal is possible when you do not limit yourself to one definite perception, but acknowledge that reality has many faces and many dimensions. You are thus open, curious and flexible to receive new ideas and angles of perception that gradually expand your consciousness to a new dimension or a new level where the reality is much broader than you have known so far.
The portals exist within the reality in which we live
We all live here on Earth but reality has many faces and layers and it holds additional dimensions that exist beyond the patterns humanity has been mentally tracked to recognize and live by.
Portals are spread throughout our reality, looking like transitions from one type of reality to another, which are not open to everyone but only to those coordinated to them.
Try to imagine reality as a layer cake and that you can move through more and more layers of the cake and discover new tastes that exist within the layers you haven’t tasted before. If you look at the cake through a limited perception that sees the cake with only one layer, you will not be able to stick your teaspoon into additional layers as you won’t even look for them, since they do not exist in your perception.
Meaning that the secret to moving through portals is to be able to identify and recognize them within reality, as your awareness is coordinated to them and your psyche can contain them.
Your perception and consciousness are the keys to opening the door to the ability to go through portals – but your psyche is required to support it.
Why do you need a mental ability to go through a portal?
When you agree to go through a portal you agree to undermine an existing situation in favor of a new one. Thus, you cannot know who you will become on the other side.
Going through a portal requires courage. It requires you to allow your perception to open up and change, to go through a change within your psyche, thoughts, emotions and in the way you experience yourself and reality- to come out on the other side different to who you were before.
This requires trust, devotion and a willingness to change, without being attached to the known and familiar and without being afraid to lose something on the way.
This is a willingness to go through a portal that will change you from within, while knowing that whatever is right and authentic for you will continue with you into the new reality, and what isn’t will dissolve and disappear, and that’s fine.
Going through portals is a practical matter related to daily reality
Going through portals may seem to you to be distant or disconnected from reality, but in fact it is really connected to our daily practical life.
For example, let’s say that you smoke and out of curiosity and openness you are exposed to consciousness that completely changes your perception of smoking.
You have started to go through a portal and if you continue to move through it, you will start to go through a mental-emotional change that might cause you to stop smoking.
If you hold onto who you are and your habits, you will not come out on the other side of the portal into a reality in which you do not smoke.
Or if you are in a relationship of one-sided love and you are willing to go through a portal into a new reality, you will need to agree to release the perception that you are not worthy, or release the fear of really opening your heart to fulfill love, even if it may hurt you and be painful.
But first you need to recognize the portal, the window of opportunity that will transfer you towards a reality in which you can experience mutual love and believe that it is all possible for you.
The portals are available. They are spread throughout reality but it is necessary to acknowledge their existence and then agree to go through them.
The ability to go through portals has one primary and distinctive rule: Follow your soul’s wish devotedly and listen to the inner voice that shows you the portal and pushes you to go through it. I call this rule: “Wherever you go, I shall follow.”
This is an alliance of love between you and your soul, and between you and your inner guidance.
When you go through a portal, try to release the mind and the logic that are holding onto known patterns, and create a commitment to follow your heart, your inner compass. In order to follow your soul’s wish, listen to your vision and dreams and follow them devotedly, thus creating the mental and emotional platform that will allow you to go through the portal.
Within this commitment lies the agreement to keep moving, to change, not to be attached, not to be afraid of losing something, but rather to know that what is real will move forward along with you, even after the transition through the portal, and whatever isn’t will dissolve and disappear from your life.
How to deal with the fear of losing identity?
When the moment comes that you go through the portal and start sensing your consciousness expanding, your perception changes and your identity fades for a moment, a new self begins consolidating and becoming more significant. At this moment, if the fears of not knowing who you are or of losing your self-identity arise within you, ask yourselves a simple question:
What will happen if I lose myself and no longer know who I am?
This question will make you observe with clarity the fear of losing something. It will also allow you to discover the fear of the unknown – meaning that this question will define the fear you are feeling.
When you do so, you will discover that the fear is not abstract, vague, big and frightening anymore, but rather a fear with a name and face. This means that the fear is not abstract and unclear, but rather clear and visible. In this way, you can provide it with a simple, clear, wise, empathetic and caring solution, using your consciousness and awareness.
When something scares you, define it wisely – thereby inserting it into a template and an area you can deal and cope with accurately and specifically without losing focus and getting lost in the fear.
Fundamental guidelines for going through portals:
1. It is all a matter of perception! Reality isn’t definite, but rather flexible, dynamic and multi-layered.
2. You don’t know what you don’t know, and therefore there is nothing illogical, but rather there are things you do not know how to classify or categorize in your mind as they do not exist within the norms and the spectrum you are familiar with.
3. Openness, curiosity and mental flexibility open gates within your consciousness and lead to new dimensions where the reality is different from the known and familiar.
4. Developing consciousness and self-awareness create a stable mental basis that allows for moving through a portal with balance.
5. There is a moment in which a transition through a portal can exist and a jump can occur. At this moment, allow the known reality to dissolve, and for a moment allow yourselves not to know who you are or what is about to happen.
6. Trust and devotion are the keys to discovering new dimensions within and outside of you – commit to your soul to follow its guidance and announce ‘Wherever you go, I shall follow!’ This will allow you to create the leap of faith from a known and familiar state to a new state and will provide you with a sense of confidence and support. It will enhance your courage to go through the portal and discover a new reality and a new self.
