Early in my meditation rituals, I felt the need to get closer to the galaxy of Keymo - a place where my friend and psychic counselor had indicated that my spiritual atom had originated from. With guidelines from the book, "Creative Visualization", by Shakti Gawain, I constructed for myself a sanctuary. The progress had been relatively easy because I had both a distinct goal in mind and a purpose for where it was to be constructed. I also had help from my spirit guide, Andrew, and other variously powerful and significant entities whose vibrations had convincingly expedited the process. For their effort and contributions, I will be eternally grateful.
But help from such forces is by no means the only practicable way to do this. I am confident that anyone else could easily construct for themselves, their own sanctuary by following the simplicity of Shakti Gawain’s short chapter on the subject. They too, would be impressed with their own results.
Recently, I have found it more preferable moving my mind to this place when I take counsel with Andrew, rather than to visualize him in my physical area of presence. My sanctuary is a sort of "half way" point where tranquility actually persists in nature. Being so far away from the classic earth plane turbulence helps attain an improved focus and comprehension during my meditations. With the additional benefit present for exercising my astral body, I have even found an improved communication with Andrew, through these efforts.
For me, my Sanctuary is best accessed through the "translocation" of my body awareness - a sort of quantum leap between two places of thought. From the upright posture I am using in my chamber’s meditation chair, and after performing the "Grounding And Running Energy" ritual (also in Shakti Gawain’s book, "Creative Visualization"), I "move" my consciousness and how I perceive my own body, to a marble bench inside a beautiful alabaster gazebo at a very serene location on a mountainous plateau. The move is somewhat instantaneous, and simply put, my awareness begins to realize a variation in the scenery surrounding me. Though the sensation may feel like "leaving" this place and then "being in" that place, a more accurate description would be that my spiritual eyes have been conditioned to take precedence over what is being seen. All the planes of reality are superimposed upon one another. Movement in this regard is more about which "convention of awareness" is utilized, and has less to do with any qualifying terms for measurement or distance.
The meditation for today only involved getting the feel of this place for my very first time from within the gazebo. It was imperative for me to retain a significant level of solemnity by not building the sanctuary with undo haste. I know that with each future moment of attention to be given it, the reward would be a more strengthened union between me and the vibration in this plane of existence. I rested peacefully upon the stone bench within the airy enclosure of my gazebo as I slowly placed in my memory the sensations of everything that I could perceive from where I sat. The gazebo was not very large at all. Four doorways leading outward to the four cardinal points and between each, four window openings with low sills and a bench beneath each one. It was of a cozy size. If I had tried to reach any one of the other three walls my back was not up against, I would have found them to be just beyond the reach of fully outstretched arms with a leaning forward posture.
Almost immediately, I recognized a brightness of pure heavenly light streaming in upon me from the windows and openings that surrounded me. I was aware that even though the alabaster structure itself was substantial in thickness, the walls and pillars had the quality of a glowing translucence. I remember a smile coming to me as I rested in this peaceful light, and how pure, fresh and clear the air seemed to be on my face. I was warmed where the light fell upon my body, even as I noticed the coolness where my form was casting shadows. A permeable and luxuriant natural silence surrounded me which was not so much the absence of noise altogether as it was the sensation of a very high vibration. This "high vibration" was not in the sense of physical octaves or sound waves, but more as having the quality of something "felt"; something lush and palpable, and being of the entire dimensional realm within which I remained immersed. An overall sense of peace undulated in and out of my awareness with a similarity to air currents softly ebbing and flowing, as if to keep one aware of the animation of life at all times.
In the next moment, something else high in vibration was felt with me in the gazebo. In that same instant, the walls seemed to have expanded abruptly, but only to the slightest degree of magnitude. I turned towards the feeling, and at once became aware that Andrew, my spirit guide was standing before me. It was as if the gazebo had expanded to accommodate the presence of two people rather than one. His familiar face was smiling with both a greeting and the approval that my arrival had occurred without incident.
Andrew was eager to give me a tour of this newly created sanctuary; a collaboration of many minds, and a work still in progress. But as I stood up, he "became aware" of my intention to explore with less immediacy. This kind of communication is one of the distinguishing factors separating the spirit plane from the physical plane. Though one may choose to use a voice as the means to communicate, it doesn't have to be that way. When the one meditating forms a thought for the purpose of communication, the thought must be expressed as a truth. Though dependent upon the invested energy causing a thought to become truth, it is nevertheless this "willfull" collapsing of a thought into truth that actually expresses it. Communication is instantaneous merely by virtue of its truthfulness.
It was apparent that he was pleased with my decision. So for the next few meditative moments within the cozy confines of the alabaster gazebo, my tour was nothing more than the simplicity of turning in a counterclockwise fashion. Pausing in sequence at each aperture, I viewed this domain only for the purpose of getting my bearings and a feeling for each of the four cardinal points on the landscape. By the time I returned full circle, I was able to conclude that my sanctuary was huge, and it rested peacefully upon a wide mountainous steppe.
Though incomplete, these were the first most notable observations I had made: To the south, I could see an edge to the landscape stopping at an abrupt and vast chasm. Out in the space of this area, the sky was twinkling and sparkling like sunlight off shards of glass, but this was occurring against a backdrop of undulating colors, much like the pastel variations of a soap bubble film. To the north, the rocky mountain range continued to ascend. I was fairly sure that the mountains continued to wrap around behind my sanctuary far to the north west, and to the west and south west the steppe seemed to slowly descend away onto another farther away but fairly level mountain meadow area.

I was fairly sure that the mountains continued to wrap around behind my sanctuary far to the north west, and to the west and south west the steppe seemed to slowly descend away onto another farther away but fairly level mountain meadow area.
With further meditations, I had determined that my sanctuary is in the manasic plane of existence. At the uppermost range in this mental arena the plane of the Solar Angel exists, and in the lower ranges will the plane of the lower mind be found. Additionally, it is upon the manasic plane that our spirit guides dwell. The reason for this is that with our current mental abilities originating from the material plane perspective, the plane of the manasic is the highest area of vibration in which shape and form can remain with a recognizable identity. But from the perspective of the divine, it is also the first field of existence where consciousness is separable enough to reflect back upon itself for the purpose of expression. This is an important point to make, because it is through our reflections - this ability to separate self from other - that the human thinking process is able to interpret symbol messages received throughout life.
Beyond the manasic, the universe merges into one consciousness so profound that it would defy description - not for lack of words, but for lack of purpose to utilize those words as all consciousness becomes inseparable within the mind of God. This brief description fits the Intuitional plane, otherwise known as the plane of "At-One-Ment" that many conditioned eastern yogi through the ages have attained with transcendental meditation. For the less acquainted human intellect though, attempting to meet with any entity - and expecting to recognize them - above the manasic would be an effort in futility.
Contrary to popular belief, heaven is an obtainable realm during the physical expression of life - albeit a temporarily obtainable realm that the physical body cannot be brought into. The reality is that our physical bodies will always require physical sustenance to function. However, the true nature of life's animation is an ultimate combination of mind/soul which shall remain as the infinite constant throughout all of existence. It would do well for all of us to exercise our biological brain by "running and playing" in the upper realms of mind. Not only does it strengthen our connection to a future world without flesh and blood, but it will reduce the shock impact at the unavoidable moment where physical death abruptly separates our mind from our physical bodies.
Once the consciousness is within the manasic plane of existence, it is evident that progress has been made well into the kingdom of heaven. It exceeds the vastness of which we are aware in the physical universe, and there can be found many who are considered as highly evolved entities. This is not just a place where spirit guides alone exist. Countless civilizations range throughout far flung galaxies within this vibration as well, making heaven a sizable place to accommodate the diversities of all. Some individuals are so advanced in spirit that they never had a need - or desire to - incarnate upon the material planes of existence. Others have brushed with the material plane's density so closely, that they've accidentally been observed by physical eyes. In any event, many of the highly evolved have patiently waited for our meditative invitations, where answers to our own personally unique spiritual development can be found.
