We were milling about the San Francisco Airport shortly before boarding the plane to Kauai, one of the lushest islands of Hawaii. Months of growing excitement had passed, dreams of things to come and hopes to enter a new world. The mysterious world of Dolphins had captured our hearts and we were about to enter into a reality hitherto unknown to us.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, flight number 258 to Honolulu has been delayed until further notice due to a technical problem. We hope to be departing in a few hours." The voice coming through the loudspeakers broke my reverie. A groan filled the air around us. I slowly opened my eyes to meet Don’s gentle gaze who had also been absorbed in his inner world. How did we get this lucky? Blue luminous light shone forth from his inner being, sensing my every thought and feeling. Enveloped by a knowingness, we often communicated telepathically. ‘Did we like what we just heard?’ we wondered simultaneously.

Don said playfully. "Ooops, I think we are in the wrong universe, this would put us into Honolulu by late evening and we would miss our connection to Kauai."

I agreed by nodding and added, "Let’s switch into another universe."

We had been reading and hearing about new ideas from quantum physics. Instead of only one single reality, it has been postulated that innumerable realities existed in parallel to one another. Many possible universes are happening all at once in the same space, separated only by frequencies. But this new worldview was not popular knowledge yet.

The old worldview of a clockwork universe was Newton’s idea. This world functioned orderly, predictably and was independent of any thought, feeling or consciousness. But the orderly, mechanical view of the universe had its price. Manipulating the wheels of the clock was all the excitement that was left for the human race. The results of the manipulation of nature are visible everywhere and have reached a dangerous degree, threatening our very survival.

All this humans had achieved by organizing the understanding of the universe in a mechanical manner, but at what a price! Most people have learned to believe that they are simply a wheel in the machine and what they think does not matter much. The accumulation of power and more control is often the only way to feel the human impact in this three dimensional world.

This Newtonian universe was more than boring. It was outright devoid of the possibility of adventure, and is showing signs of endangering the very life we depend upon.

Quantum physics began to change that. It was hypothesized that an observing consciousness, in other words a being with awareness, is an integral factor which makes the universe tick. It is the torch light of attention which gives shape to the many possibilities of manifestation. It is attention which can bring about the manifestation of one of the many parallel universes.

An experiment finally put an end to this hypothesis which had plagued the scientific world during Einstein’s lifetime. It was proven that information travels faster than the speed of light, and that photon particles seem to communicate to each other the intended outcome a particular scientist was looking for at this higher speed. It is known as the EPR experiment and was originally postulated by Einstein, Podolsky and Rosen to prove that light was traveling at the absolute limit in the physical universe. In 1985 the experiment was put into action and proved the exact opposite. Something did travel faster than the speed of light, and it also reflected the expectation of the observer of an experiment.

Quantum physics was not the only agency which accepted that consciousness interacted with the world around us. It was just a new version of knowledge that seers from all cultures had known and practiced since time immemorial.

As we sat stunned by the announcement of the delayed flight I wondered, ‘Did this delay have purpose? Was it a test as to how well we behaved like sheep, believing ourselves to be the obvious victims of circumstance?’

"OK," Don said, " let’s shift into another universe." Both Don and I closed our eyes and began practicing what we had learned.

Sinking deeper into my inner sense of being, I began seeing that everything is interconnected. I was enveloped by a sense of liquid light. Everyone around me was part and parcel of why things were the way they happened to be. I moved further up in my inner vision, and a larger part of the picture began showing. I approached the level from where we make choices. Here I could choose to be in one of the other possible and parallel realities. More and more luminous light filled my inner vision. Then I saw a snapshot in my mind of how I actually wanted to choose my experience to be. The airplane is perfect, I see the energy pattern adjusting around the fuselage and the engines. I feel we are in a perfectly timed universe. I am willing to be at ease and fly when the time is right, when it is in harmony with all that is and for the highest purpose of all concerned. Bingo, I can feel it. It is true in my heart. Now.

I blinked my eyes open, quickly letting go of all feelings of trying, of wanting, of wishing, and I simply noticed my environment.

All right! I enjoyed being able to choose my universe. Who said that life is what it appears to be? But what learning it had been just to get to this point! How many times did I wince at the doubtful thought ‘What if I am just pretending?’ How many times had the angels shuddered, watching me undo my own miracles in a few seconds of doubt.

Barely five minutes later another announcement filled the air. "Ladies and Gentlemen," a bright voice sounded through the loudspeaker, "we are happy to announce that our technicians were able to locate the problem and repair it. We will begin boarding in a few minutes."

We jumped up and down. Yeah!! Life is not what it seems! Switching Universes. We are getting the hang of it!

Wisdom of the Dolphins by Ilona Selke

"The next step in our human evolution is to recognize our own power of co-creation. We are learning to work at the drawing board of creation by taping our hightened states of awareness. By learning from dolphins we may
make our next step."

Ilona Selke's book, "Wisdom of the Dolphins" explores the journey of conscious co-creation. In the book she describes her experiences with dolphins, their transformative powers, telepathy, and the workings of the holographic universe through practical methods and applications of the intuitive mind.
