Welcome to this edition of Newsgram!
Today you are in for a real treat and before we begin I think it’s important to point out that I am about to take on a subject that is way over my head. Fortunately we have a guest that can make a complicated subject like Consciousness sound simple. Get ready foraphilosophical perspective on Consciousness, Life and the Universe from a former reconstructive plastic surgeon turned artist, sculptor, and author, Dr. Anthony J. Emmett.
Dr. Anthony Emmett – The world is at a stage where it needs to understand more of the spiritual side of life, and I have been affected by this since childhood. I have been a surgeon, a reconstructive plastic surgeon, and I have retired from that and retrained as an artist. During that time, I spent two years going through my past lives with a clairvoyant and a Sathya Sai Baba from India who provided the scenes that I saw. The purpose of this was to prove to myself that I was an eternal spirit, that I’d been around for a long time.
His new book is Your Unique Consciousness: The Eternal Path of Life, and in it he explores consciousness as an eternal force. It explains the mystery of who we are; where we come from before birth and where we go after death and it’s a lot…but you’ll understand what he’s saying as soon as you buy into the fact that we are all eternal beings created by God to love one another and grow spiritually.
Dr. Anthony Emmett – We, as a species, need to understand that we are eternal spirits with a body. We are here for a time. We are here to play the games of life on this stage of Earth, and we shouldn’t knock it around too much before we leave.
I don’t know about you but I’m old enough to remember back in 1976 when the band Rush released their live album All the World’s a Stage and while they weren’t a “spiritual” band in a religious sense, they did explore some deep themes like individualism, free will, existentialism, mythology, and the human experience and they’ve had me thinking about these things for a long time but Doctor Emmett takes it to a new level by simplifying the idea of consciousness.
Dr. Anthony Emmett – The thing is that consciousness is an energy like electricity. Science can’t detect it or measure it, and yet we have it. We are using it now for this conversation. And tonight when we go to sleep, we open a different level of consciousness, a different frequency or vibrational energy.
If you are now asking, if we can’t detect it, then how do we know it’s even there? You are beginning to ask the right questions. The simplest answer is that it is all part of God’s plan. We can see it working in our subconscious and our unconscious mind everyday. Our unconscious mind is at work when we’re dreaming.
Dr. Anthony Emmett – When we’re asleep, we are in contact with our unconscious mind, which is 85% of the way we use consciousness. The unconscious mind will make your body work, tell your bowel which way to go, activate your heart, and it does many things.
On the other hand, our subconscious is at work while we’re awake.
Dr. Anthony Emmett – We have the subconscious, which we use as an everyday reference. For example, the image coming from your eye is upside down, and in your subconscious, you convert it to the right way up. It’s upside down because you’ve only got one lens in your eye. Nature could have chosen to have a two-lens eye and a right way up image going to the brain. Instead, it uses the simpler eye with a computer to convert it to the right way up. But the computer doesn’t, that’s our unconscious mind, doesn’t only turn the image the right way, it deletes what we don’t want to see.
I find all of this very interesting but you might still be saying yes but if science can’t detect or measure consciousness how do we know it’s real. Well, he thought the same thing. So he went to Southern India on three different occasions to seek the wisdom of Sai Baba, sadly he passed away back in 2011.
Dr. Anthony Emmett – But he’s still around in that plane. There are various planes of reality with different… The atoms are at different vibrational frequencies. There are other dimensions around this one. And just as we have different levels of consciousness, which function at different vibrational wavelengths or frequencies. I had to prove to myself it was real. And having done that, Sai Baba has taught me a great deal about all of that. And I can’t prove it.
But it’s real. And I’ve seen it. And I’m an experienced observer.
This isn’t the first person to mention the existence of multiple dimensions, in fact I’ve heard it so many times that at least for me there is no question about it but like he said, you can’t prove it but they are there. Let’s move on because he has a great explanation for how and when consciousness descends upon us as human beings.
Dr. Anthony Emmett – When we’re being formed in our mother’s uterus or womb, at two or three months, or maybe later, the exact time varies, but consciousness comes in. And it’s an energy that comes into the brain to create the mind. And the mind is what we’re using now in this conversation. But of course, consciousness has this ability to be at different levels. Everything in the world is conscious. The planet is conscious. And we need to remember that. Everything has a level of consciousness. We have no way of measuring that and I can’t prove it But it’s true.
Consciousness is one of life’s greatest mysteries and it can be hard to explain. You could say it’s kind of like the light inside you that helps you know you’re alive. It’s what makes you feel happy when you see a friend, or excited when you learn something new.
Everything has some kind of consciousness and it can be simple or very deep, it is a special kind of energy that connects everything in the universe, just like the wind moving through trees or waves moving through water. I can’t tell you exactly what it is, but it is one of the most amazing mysteries of being alive!
Dr. Anthony Emmett – I’ve written many books about consciousness to try and point out to people that we each are an eternal spirit. That what we do here is added to the sum total of what we have done in eons past. Whereas our civilization mostly doesn’t believe in previous lives, I spent two years going through it to prove to myself that it was real. And so I described this in different ways in different books. I’ve had many lives of great interest, but I won’t bother you with them because they’re interesting.
Dr. Emmett’s experiences with past lives are fascinating, but at the heart of his work is something even more universal—consciousness itself. And that’s where I want to stay focused because his perspective on the nature of consciousness is so interesting, just like his perspective on the healing power of love. He believes love isn’t just an emotion; it’s a force of healing, woven into the very fabric of our consciousness.
Dr. Anthony Emmett – Every cell in the body is conscious. And you, by the attitude you hold in your mind, influence their behavior. You can make yourself well by being happy. Broadcast happiness to the cells. Your cells will respond by making you well and happy. In 1960, I was working in a plastic surgery unit in England in the Burns Ward. We had a 10-year-old boy with a 70% burn, which in those days was a death sentence. So we excised 30% and replaced it with skin from our skin bank. We had a skin bank in a refrigerator, and we also had donor sites. We could take split-skin grafts from other parts of his body. Anyway, all of this was doing well surgically, but he was dying. It had just been too much for him. And you could see he was dying. So we got his mother in to live in the next room in the Burns Ward, so she could give him love. Now, the love that she gave him, he started to turn around. He stopped dying. He started getting better, and he lived to leave the hospital and be rehabilitated. But the love that his mother gave him was the strongest medicine. It was stronger than anything we could give him. So love is the most important thing in life. But there are many kinds of love.
Yes and in his book he explains those many kinds of love. To quote from the book directly he says “Love is the totality of divine creation. Love is the power which holds the universe in being”. The Beatles were onto something—’All You Need Is Love’ might be more profound than we ever realized.
So where did we come from and where are we going? It’s different for each of us. We are all eternal and we are each made up of a culmination of lives and experiences that have thus far made us who we are. That’s why it’s so hard to identify the meaning of life. It is literally different for all of us but we do share some commonalities that help make defining life meaning a bit easier and the big one is love. Love can heal and happiness can drive us in the right direction. Love is so important.
Dr. Anthony Emmett – When a child is born, it has to learn love in its first two years, and that gets put into the self-image, which is held in the subconscious. And the self-image of the child builds up with the way parents treat it, the way the relatives treat each other. All of this becomes part of the self-image held in the subconscious.. So people should understand that the love they give to the child in the first two years will be a distinct formative influence on that child through its subconscious for the rest of its life. These things don’t just get forgotten, they get filled in deeper levels of consciousness. This is so interesting.
Your consciousness is eternal—it’s not just about the thoughts you have every day, but also what’s stored deep in your subconscious. That part of you connects to something much bigger—eternity, God, and the source of all love. And every night when you sleep, you tap into that deeper realm. Consciousness exists at so many different frequencies, and we’re always shifting through them.
Dr. Anthony Emmett – God is universal Consciousness, absolute Consciousness and in the beginning it was the word. The word was consciousness.
Dr. Emmett is one of the most interesting people we’ve ever had here on the Newsgram. He is a retired plastic surgeon who sculpts in metal and clay. He is a teacher and an author and someone I believe we could learn a great deal from. Here is a summary of consciousness from the introduction of his book “We live this life in our Body Level Consciousness, a unique one-off-code, which comes into the body as it develops in its mother’s uterus and serves for the duration of the body’s life. This connects into our other conscious levels operating at different frequencies or wavelengths.
The sleep level we know well, it gives daily advice and helps us to correct our mistakes by seeing the other side of things. The Subconscious Level we use every day, a backup system for everyday conscious thinking and doing, contains your Self-Image which forms from early childhood and before, and guides what you want to be.
The Higher Consciousness is there in your conscious mixture, but its frequency is too high, and you must let it come to you, in response to seeking or prayer. It contains the Divine Energy we call God.
With death of our body, we change the frequency and dimension of our consciousness, as we move on in spirit energy levels or planes, described by many who have written on Near Death Experience.
Dr. Anthony Emmett – I think I came to this life as a teacher.
I don’t think there’s any doubt about that. I hope you are enjoying this edition of Newsgram as much as I enjoyed writing it. Dr. Emmett has so many interesting stories that I could have turned this into a three hour documentary so rest assured he will be back because I plan to delve into another one of his books called “Power of the Mind” but for now I invite you to check out Your Unique Consciousness: The Eternal Path of Life. It’s available online at all kinds of places including Amazon and Barnes and Noble.
Knowing that you have an all-pervading higher intelligence within your unique many layered consciousness. How are you going to employ it?
