Everything is Consciousness

I’ve been on hiatus for a bit, not so much to relax as to introspectively contemplate, immersing myself into the wisdom of the cosmos. One must remember that in spiritual growth there is always a plus element to enlightenment; that is, there is always more to learn and as we exist in eternity we will never stop learning, never stop growing. With that, my focus of late has been very much on the ubiquitous nature of consciousness.

Again I’m reminded of the movie The Matrix, where Neo finally awakened and was able to see the illusion for what it actually was, in his case a series of 1’s and 0’s moving along the spatial grid of his enlightened vision, creating form and substance within the illusion itself. What I have increasingly come to realize is that this stark representation may actually be truer than one might suspect.

Quantum and theoretical physics has shown that everything is energy. As such, when we break down this energy quotient even further we come to understand that energy is in fact frequency, existing at variable vibratory rates that we may either perceive or not perceive. Our lack of perception does not in any way negate its existence. Well, one of the things that I have come to understand more and more is that consciousness is a frequency. We could postulate that consciousness = frequency, e.g. frequency = consciousness. This frequency of existence is a part of the oneness of All That Is. All That Is is all there is (there is nothing outside of IT), so everything that exists does so within the realm, parameters and dimensional connectivity of Source energy itself. As such, this energy, frequency, or whatever you may wish to call it, by its very nature is consciousness, because it is all a part of the ONE. We may even take it a step further to say that this energy, frequency, or whatever you wish to call it, by virtue of its connectedness to Source is in truth intelligent consciousness.

Take for instance the long held understanding in spiritual and esoteric circles of the law of attraction. Our thoughts are things; energy conduits of specific intent and vibratory intensity sent forward for the sole purpose of attracting like energy to be used in the manifestation of our intention. Some of us may not know the technical or mechanical nature of how it works, but we do know, or are coming to realize more and more that focused intention combined with right attitude and effort create our personal universe. Ignorance of the law of attraction is no excuse, and until we become the conscious conduits of our actions, we will remain the “victims” of our creations as opposed to the captains of our destiny; for what we think becomes who we are and the circumstances that make up our lives and our universe. This energy moving forth on our behalf (whether you are aware or not) is an intelligent energy, like the Genie in the lamp who states, “Your wish is my command.” It is not a dumb force, but an intelligent, neutral consciousness moving in a seamless, omniscient, omnipotent, and omnipresent flow connecting you and I, and everything else. It connects the dots in ways that we could never (ever) conceive of on our own, and brings about manifestation in a type of synchronicity that is unrivalled in existence, because it is existence.

If most of us possessed the gift of auric sight (we all have this potential) we would begin to see the seamless interconnectedness of this energy, much like the 1’s and 0’s that Neo began to see in his enlightened vision. We would begin to realize the holographic illusory nature of our existence and awaken to our Angelic heritage; our God given abilities to create whatever we may desire in our lives. We’ve just forgotten, or perhaps have been made to forget (depending on what you believe or have come to understand). But once awakened, we have a choice. Do we choose conscious cause, or unwilling effect? The choice is yours, but at the point of awakening you can no longer site ignorance as an excuse. From this point forward it’s on you, and no one else. You are forever changed.

Yes everything is consciousness, and consciousness has the capacity to expand, but we must do the daily work in order for this expansion to occur. With this expansion comes a greater understanding and remembering of the true nature of our existence. We begin to remember our origins; we begin to consciously come online to our personal spiritual life contracts (why we were brought here), and we begin to make the conscious decision of whether or not we are to become a part of the spiritual solution, or part of the coercive, manipulative problem that now exists and has long existed in our multiverse.

Always remember that love is at the core of this true awakening and continued enlightenment. It is the door that opens the way back to Source. But free will is always at play, and whatever direction we choose will be respected, with the understanding that we must ultimately reap what we sow.

So as we swim upstream in this unlimited pool of conscious energy, it is up to us to do the work necessary to raise our vibration level and rate, so as to expand in awareness and begin to see the wonders that the multiverse has waiting for us to rediscover. This is why it is called awakening, because you’ve always known but have simply been made to forget. By whom? -- Well that’s another discussion for another time. One thing is clear, more and more Souls are waking up to their true origins, and the gaps between religion, science, spirituality and ascension are narrowing.

In many ways ascension is the science of multi-dimensional physics, a physics that for many is theoretical in nature because of the limited framework that orthodox science has historically provided for us to measure reality and/or illusion. You see, science and spirituality were never meant to be separate. But that gap is closing more and more. The journey is here and now, and the choice is yours to take. We will be peeling back the onion in future writings, and I so look forward to your many perspectives and ongoing dialogue. We’re all in this together, and together (through our focused energy and conscious intent) we will help each other find the way home. Just don’t forget, as you awaken and gain enlightenment, please pay it forward, for we are one.

Background Awareness

Not too long ago I did a blog article entitled Situational Awareness, which described the exercise and practice of a heightened awareness that came as an outgrowth of the refined and growing vibrational rate currently affecting our world at this time, and the resulting shift in enlightenment this higher vibration causes. In the article, I described how “…one of the most fundamental gifts of awakening is that we start to become more and more aware of ourselves, our true purpose, and the myriad of things that are going on around us, both from the most obvious to the most subtle and discreet. The veils of illusion begin to drop away and we are left with clear, discernable and unfettered understandings of life in all of its dimensions.” While this situational awareness is an essential component of an active and engaged consciousness, there is another, even more basic aspect of this conscious awakening that is well worth mentioning. This fundamental, root consciousness has been described by some as Background Awareness.

Background awareness can be thought of as your default setting. When you have chanted your mantra, completed your asanas and Qigong, when you have done your Tai-Chi, completed your affirmations and aligned all your chakras, when you are connected to the universe and are ready to begin your day, then what? Your background awareness is your balanced (or unbalanced depending on preparation) center. This was described in great detail in my earlier blog, The Hub of Your Wheel. As you go throughout your day and experience the lessons put there to teach you, where do you invariably go to in your thoughts, and more importantly, your overall countenance? If you are in the balanced state, your background awareness should be one of love and gratitude, the God-centered awareness. For many people however, it is wrought with fear, anxiety, and worry. This is unfortunate, because as I and so many others have imparted, you create your universe by virtue of what you think; the resulting manifestations caused by the consistency of your psychic energy center.

Another way of looking at this is where does your idle mind go when rote activities are occuring or when all activities have ceased? Again, whatever is at the center of your wheel is what will be your central subconscious state and what will invariably manifest in your life. To reiterate the balanced state, your background awareness should be one of love and gratitude, the God-centered awareness. Within the realm of this balanced awareness, your situational awareness is much keener and NOW focused, allowing you to function in your daily life fully engaged while remaining in a happy, content, present, and self-empowered state regardless of outward circumstances. A balanced center allows one to be ready for any and all obstacles, and even more importantly, to begin to develop an innate sense of things even before they occur. A balanced background awareness taps into Divine awareness that is unrestricted by linear space-time and polarized energy. It allows you to become the channel that you as a light worker need to be in order to become most effective in your daily work. It will come provided you do the daily work necessary.

Living a balanced life with love and gratitude as your focus goes a long way on your personal spiritual journey of enlightenment and the subsequent collateral benefits that come from your being a conscious light worker for Source. When in this pure state, just your mere presence brings blessings to whatever you are doing and whoever may be in your general sphere of influence. You needn’t say a word, just be. Background awareness shows up in your auric field of energy, which permeates in all directions. The question is, do you choose to be the cause or effect in your life. I hope you choose conscious cause. Vigilance is key; a balanced background awareness is the foundation. Practice makes perfect. May you build a solid foundation for each and every day.

Like Water

Earlier this week, I sent out a Tweet (on Twitter) that stated, “A rigid mind is a self-containing prison. Seek truth in all directions.” I felt compelled to write this because in my daily ritual of capturing the pulse of the world’s consciousness with it’s many levels, I’ve become more and more aware and concerned at the rigidity of fixed belief systems (of all kinds) and their inability to allow the person who identifies with them to open up their heart and mind long enough to even entertain a different opinion or point of view. Sometimes, this point of view may not even be a 180° voice of polar opposition, but simply a varied perspective, or way of looking at the same belief. Nonetheless, the rigid mindset espouses “I’m right and you’re wrong…my way or the highway.” This is not living in an awakened state, not by a long shot.

I began thinking about how so many individuals hold on to their respective belief systems for dear life, thinking that their way is truth; that they are truth seekers when in fact they are actually nothing more than rigid gatekeepers for their respective belief. I started thinking metaphorically about the best description for an awakened state of being. Looking at the FIJI bottle in front of me, I immediately started thinking about water. Water is fluid; it’s adaptable. It’s pliable. Water finds the path of least resistance, always seeking the balanced middle. Like a stream that seeks the river, and the river that seeks the ocean, water cannot be contained. It may be temporarily held back, but its destiny will not be halted forever. Yes, water is the perfect metaphor for a truth seeker because it adapts and adjusts to any condition placed in front of it. Bruce Lee, the late Kung Fu Master and founder of the martial arts style, Jeet Kune Do put it best when he said, “Be like water making its way through cracks. Do not be assertive, but adjust to the object, and you shall find a way round or through it. If nothing within you stays rigid, outward things will disclose themselves.” As it relates to formless form, he again states, “Empty your mind, be formless; shapeless, like water. If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle and it becomes the bottle. You put it in a teapot it becomes the teapot. Now, water can flow or it can crash. Be water my friend.”

The rigid mind is a self-containing prison, and belief is its ready warden. The thing is, it doesn’t matter what you believe, if you become rigid to it, you will inevitably be in opposition to those who are in rigid disagreement with it or who have unique or expanded perspectives about it. Within this rigidity of mind and thought, conflict will always prevail. Rigid belief combined with fear makes up the one/two combination for personal self-containment and the stunting of spiritual growth. This is what traps the person in five-sensory reality and does not allow the expansion of universal consciousness to enter a person’s auric field.

Those with STS consciousness who know how this works can use it quite effectively to keep people from gaining the awareness they deserve by pitting one belief against another. It really doesn’t matter what the belief system may be; all that matters is that you hold on to it with fierce devotion and will fight for your belief with anyone who dare oppose you. This may be religious, political, social, national, racial, ethnic, or any other. All of these fierce beliefs hold you back from the big picture; YOU ARE SOUL, a divine spark of God awareness. You are the formless form. Those with open minds and hearts who allow the universal stream of God consciousness to enter into their being, causing them to consciously connect with Infinite awareness is the greatest fear to STS consciousness, because it takes away their control. The awakened person does not allow him/herself to fall into false righteousness through rigid belief.

There is another aspect to water that is even more penetrating and compelling, and it is not metaphorical. I recall an excellent docu-drama a few years ago that I was privileged to see the screening of, What the (Bleep) Do We Know?, starring Marley Matlin. If you have not seen this, I strongly recommend that you do so. In it, there is a scene when Marley’s character was in a subway platform looking at a fascinating exhibition of water crystal photos. These photos were taken by renowned Japanese researcher, Dr. Masaru Emoto, who was able to prove that thoughts and feelings can affect physical reality. Using a very powerful microscope in a cold room along with high-speed photography, Dr. Emoto was able to photograph newly formed crystals of frozen water samples that were subject to focused intentions either through written or spoken words, as well as through music. Dr. Emoto used the same water samples, and after being viewed multiple times during different forms of focused intent, they appeared to change their molecular crystalline composition as a direct result of the focused stimuli. One picture showed a crystalline form after listening to Mozart. Another picture showed a different crystalline form after receiving a blessing of “love and gratitude”. Still more astonishing, the crystalline form completely broke down when exposed to heavy metal music, and later to the words “You make me sick…I will kill you.” These are all waveforms, penetrating and affecting water on a molecular level. This is empirical proof.

Now why is this information and insight so important? Well, consider the fact that you, me, everyone who has a human form is made up of approximately 70% water. If water can change in molecular composition by virtue of what we think and say, imagine how our thoughts and words impact one another and ourselves. It has a direct affect on our health, both physically and mentally, and is a conduit for the receiving of mental, spiritual and psychic energy all around us. We are in fact walking receivers for psychic impulses and information. Don’t believe this is true? Stare at a person on the street who is looking away and see how quickly they turn in your direction. Need more food for thought? Consider the transistor radio. What does it use to receive signals? A crystal. What is water on a molecular level? Crystalline. There is so much more to this, but I will stop here and save it for a rainy day; just let your thoughts, like the water, take you to where it needs to go.

As we move about in this bio-computer we far too often identify as self, it is important to begin to differentiate between what is conscious awareness and what is biological and wave form programming and conditioning due to outward stimuli. The implications are amazing. Just remember, garbage in, garbage out. We must be conscious cause if we are to ensure our own spiritual evolution and become a part of the Infinite awareness that is our birthright as Soul. Good journey; talk to you again soon.
