Being the Light

As we move ever closer as a collective consciousness towards ascension and awakening, it is of vital importance that we understand clearly and definitively that we are the change that we seek. For far too long the Souls of this earth have been conditioned into believing that we have no control over our destiny, and our fate lies in the hands of someone or something outside of ourselves. This is illusion, illusion of the worst kind. Within this illusion is also the misdirected notion that hope is just around the corner; that tomorrow a change will come. While this is a powerful and seemingly hopeful sentiment, it is also a misguided feedback loop that we must move beyond. What I mean by this is that the constant manifestational energy of hope that all will be well tomorrow, creates an energy dynamic that places the desired outcome always just out of our reach; always tomorrow, never today…never NOW.

Our ascension as a collective consciousness lies in the acknowledgement of who and what we are NOW. We are Soul, a divine spark of All That Is, living in eternity. Within this recognition and conscious awareness, we must ignite our divine spark of spiritual awakening into a bright beacon of light. You are the light! This beacon is one of divine love energy that goes out in all directions and touches everything in its path. We must consciously become the light and project it outward everyday. We must project this love in all places and at all times. This is how we change the world. This is our task as a conscious light worker. This is who you are. Claim it.

With more and more conscious beacons of light coming online every hour of every day, we begin to exponentially live as ascended beings; we become the change that we seek NOW. Tomorrow is here. We live in the consciousness of an aware and awakened Soul at this very moment, free from fear, surrounded in love. We live in the here and now from this moment forward, because this is the true reality. Future is illusion because it has yet to be. Past is illusion because it has already been. The only thing “real” is NOW. What you project now will determine your future. Embrace your light, become the beacon. Send love throughout the world and to the universe. It all comes back to you 1000-fold. Your mere presence helps to awaken others to this same truth. Ascension is NOW. Accept it and live within this truth. It is the reason that you are here, at this time in this place. It’s time to awaken. It’s time to become the light. May your bright light shine forth and touch all of those who cross your path.

On the Threshold of Change

In my recent article entitled Understanding the Shift, I spoke of a heightened change of perceptual awareness coming to mankind through an evolution of consciousness, caused by a rise in the vibrational rate of existence to a higher density; a higher polarity. With it, an inevitable change is taking place. All of the many distant Utopian ideals that we dare not dream, but wish in our hearts of hearts to be, are beginning to find their way forward. But in order for this ultimate change to occur, there are other things that need to fall away. There must be a destructive phase before construction can occur. To put it another way, devolution must run its course before evolution can take place. It is the way of change. The old and outmoded forms of negative consciousness, attitudes, values and polarized interaction with our fellow Souls must end. We must begin to see ourselves as Divine connected sparks of the eternal, not as separate beings.

We are in the nadir, the final transitional low point of a cyclical change. It is that period where the last of the negative cycle of energy burns itself out to make way for a new Golden Age of enlightenment and Spiritual existence. A major reason for this inevitable outcome is that we as a collective consciousness are awakening to our true purpose and remembering why we are here in this particular place, at this particular time. We are exponentially becoming conscious beacons of love energy, changing the nature of vibratory polarity throughout our world and each other. We are creating the change that we seek by virtue of our thoughts and a collective will for love to light the way. It is important that we universally believe this to be true. Know that you have the power within you to make this change. We are now becoming conscious co-workers and light workers with Divine Source. Our mission and goal is to become a beacon of love energy everyday. We are on the threshold of change because we are making the change. It is occurring in concert with our conscious desire to become the shift that we seek.

Those that would try to keep this wave of change from occurring are fighting a losing battle. Through fear, divisiveness, intimidation and hate mongering, these forces have tried (and for millennia succeeded) to make us forget who we truly are. We have fed into this illusion because for far too long we knew no better. But now, the veil is lifting and we are collectively growing every day in expanded awareness. This growing enlightened consciousness cannot and will not be held back. It is like trying to hold a large and ever-expanding ball of air underwater by force. Its true nature is to rise to the top and find freedom. It may be temporarily held back, but it will eventually break its shackles and rise to its true origins. Our true nature is to find our way back home…to Source.

As our collective awareness and desire for change grows with every passing day, you may begin to see the changes taking place around you; signs that this quantum shift is happening. During this process, it is important that you continue to be conscious cause and not unwilling effect. Focus on the good that you see. Send love to the negative that you may encounter. We are all conscious catalysts for this new wave of spiritual enlightenment. Embrace your true purpose. Send waves of love all around you each day. Know that it is having a direct and positive impact on you and your surroundings. Yes, we are on the threshold of change, but it is occurring in direct proportion to our collective will to make it so. You are no longer the spectator; you are a conscious participant in your Spiritual evolution. May the wind be at your back.

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.

Gratitude: The Power of Thank You

There are no greater and more important words in the human vocabulary than thank you. In whatever language it may be uttered, it is an expression of gratitude that acknowledges the appreciation for not just doing, but also for being. It is an affirmation of value. More importantly, it is an extension of God-centered energy that allows for reciprocity of kindness and affection towards our fellow Souls. The power of thank you opens the heart and helps us to know that we matter to each other. The power of thank you validates self-worth and allows for personal healing and self-love. The power of thank you is the personified love of Source in action.

On this upcoming Thanksgiving holiday, I would like to personally extend my sincere thank you to each and everyone of you who have been a part of this spiritual grassroots effort known as the Awaken to One Alliance. Many heartfelt thanks to our current blog contributors Alex Marcoux and Hunt Henion for their thoughtful discourse and love centered messages of hope and enlightenment. We look forward to their continued contributions and to future contributors that will help to expand our spiritual horizons. Sincere thank you to our current and growing Ato1 allies who continue to provide important world-related topics, moral support and continued words of encouragement. Thank you for the many amazing lightworkers who have graced our pages with important spiritual content, helpful to all who investigate. It will continue to grow. Thank you to my expanding Twitter and Facebook friends. You never cease to amaze me with you insights and diverse information. Humble thanks to my wonderful family and friends who have provided me with so much love and enthusiastic support. You’re part of my eternal spiritual tribe : )

Most importantly…thank you, the many beautiful Souls that have been following our efforts for your support and words of encouragement. It means a lot. Thank you all for all that you do and for whom you are. Thank you for doing your part to make this world a better place. Thank you for recognizing that you are a part of the whole and for continuing to awaken to your true purpose with every passing day. As we grow, we will continue to provide you with thoughtful, thought provoking dialogue and spiritual insights to ponder and consider. But for now, I send you love and humbly wish you all a wonderful and heartfelt Thanksgiving. May it be filled with love and joy, and may you pass that love forward in all directions.

Namaste.

The Law Of Attraction is Only the Beginning

There has been much discussion and shared insight over the last few years regarding the concept of the Law of Attraction. It is indeed a very powerful concept that once grasped, can and will serve any individual with the power and means to manifest anything they may want in life. Many books have been written on the subject and documentaries such as What the (bleep) Do We Know? and The Secret have provided an abundance of clarity into this most important aspect of our spirito-human experience. Intensive study has been devoted to this fundamental aspect of creational existence. I myself have covered the topic in some detail in my 3 part series, Understanding Belief.

With the abundance of documentation on this popular subject however, there are other more nuanced and supportive spiritual laws working hand-in-hand with this law of attraction that have not been given equal attention. It is these laws in tandem with the overarching law of attraction that can and will ensure success in any manifestational endeavor. This article is being devoted to identifying and understanding this supporting cast, which when combined with the overarching law can and will ensure much greater success. These other aspects consist of:

· The Law of Intention
· The Law of Allowance, and
· Inertia (or pull-through)

So that we can provide a foundation for these new concepts, let’s review our understanding of the main law. The Law of Attraction can best be explained as the conscious or unconscious creation of thought patterns that dictate the manifestational reality in a person’s life. This can and often does occur whether an individual is aware of it or not. In other words, if there is something that you truly want or believe can happen, it will. In equal measure however, if you put a lot of attention and thought on the things that you don’t want (through worry), you’ll more than likely create that as well. The creational energy is neutral and does not care either way. If you focus your attention on it, the energetic resonance will work towards manifesting it.

This brings us to the second law (the first on our list) known as the Law of Intention. On the quantum level, pure energy can be thought of as potentiality. It is through intention, which has a direct correlation to desire, that this potentiality becomes directed towards manifestation or outcome. This law allows for the mechanics of the process to occur. The law of intention also states that whatever happens to us in life is created not so much by what we do, but why we are doing it. This law in large part reflects the type of energy you are projecting while trying to manifest the thing you want. In other words, it is the aspect of the manifestation that determines (for example) whether your energy is of noble intent, selfish intent, malicious intent, or otherwise. All of these intentions can and do manifest, but what type of energy is present can have a direct correlation to the degree and type of karma that will be generated when and if the manifestation is completed. Your intention is important because ultimately what happens to us in life is not necessarily determined by what we want but why we want it. Is it for the good of the whole, is it for a selfish or negative end? Understanding this principle can make a world of difference in the success or failure of what we create. This will in turn ultimately determine our true happiness or unhappiness. When intention is coupled with detachment, which can best be described as indifference to outcome, then we are working from a more spiritually centered, NOW focused perspective. This lends itself to the greatest possible energy flow and ultimately the perfect result (whatever perfect means). It is important to note that while our intention is focused on our goals, our attention should remain in the present moment, the now.

This moves us to the third law (second on our list) known as the Law of Allowance. This law is significant in the sense that if you are willing to receive good things in your life, you most certainly will receive them. The trick here though is that you must actually believe that you can truly receive them. This is not a fake it ‘til you make it exercise, but one that embodies true faith and belief. It has its direct bearing on your focus of attention and your belief that such a thing is possible. It can also to some degree draw a direct correlation to whether or not you feel worthy of that which you want. Worthiness is a double-edged sword that has sabotaged many a manifestational exercise. Know that you are worthy of it. When you have this level of clarity, you bring about the corresponding resonance energy that will in turn give you what you want. Then you can allow a thing to be and not get in the way of the manifestation. In other words, the law of allowance is the focus lens of the manifestation you are creating.

Lastly we come to Inertia, or pull-through. In one of Newton’s laws, he states that objects in motion tend to stay in motion and objects at rest tend to stay at rest. Within this aspect of manifestation is the importance of due diligence; doing what you need to do on a daily basis to allow the cosmic forces to best create the perfect conditions for what you want to out-picture in your life. A part of this has to do with your situational awareness as it relates to listening to the signs and opportunities that come your way. Your actions and activities are in motion, and this momentum tends to continue in motion moving you closer to your goals. A key ingredient in this momentum of inertia is your emotional enthusiasm about that which you want. It is important to become excited about and have enthusiasm for the things you are creating. See them in your minds eye; visualize the end game on a daily basis. Your emotional investment in the process can in many ways be considered the final pull-through necessary to bring a thing into physical manifestation.

This supporting cast of creational energies may not get the necessary notoriety that it deserves, but are in many respects the mortar and building blocks for creating the things you want in life. The law of attraction works whether you are aware of it or not, and these subtle aspects of the overarching law are being implemented in tandem. The question becomes, are you consciously manifesting what you want in the perfect way, or are you creating your personal universe by the whims and woes of a victim mentality, unaware that you are the creator? There are many ways to manifest a thing; some ways are more beneficial than others. By combining these other core aspects of the creation process in a conscious way, you ensure a much more effective and positive outcome, one created in the perfect way. You may not know what way that may be, but rest assured that the cosmic energy will make it perfect and for the good of the whole.

The 11:11 Quantum Peace Project

I'd like to make everyone aware of a very important and worthwhile project, ONE MINUTE FOR PEACE - The 11:11 Quantum Peace Project: Creating ripples of inner peace to create planetary peace. The idea behind it is quite simple. On November 11th at 11:11 am and pm, you should devote one minute of your time to sending out concentrated love energy to the world and all of its inhabitants. Additionally, using the synchronicity of 11:11, anytime that you see this number or a combination thereof, you should devote one minute to sending out love energy in all directions. The power of such a loving act on such a mass scale should not be underestimated. There is documented evidence showing how sustained positive group energy in a particular area during designated periods have had a noticeable impact on the surrounding environment.

I love this particular project because it so directly speaks to the motivation behind Awaken to One. Understand, "Awaken to One" is a verb; a call to action. This type of activity is absolutely consistent with this sentiment. I highly encourage all of you to partake in this wonderful worldwide effort and I hope you also adopt this practice on a daily basis. The more conscious and sustained positive energy that can be generated, the greater the exponential benefit the world will receive. Please go to the One Minute For Peace Facebook Page for more information. Remember, it only takes a minute. Do your part to save the world. Namaste.

H1N1: The Developing Story

I had not intended to write this, as I was preparing to focus on a another topic entirely, but I wanted to follow-up on an earlier article I wrote entitled, H1N1: A Personal Perspective, which focused on my recent bout with the swine flu. In this update I wanted to share with you some information I've uncovered that I believe to be extremely important and essential for people to know about from the standpoint of being able to make an informed decision about one’s health and free will choices. I’ve come across a very compelling interview by a Dr. Teresa Forcades, a Public Health physician, who shares emperical evidence, scientific data, and contextual history regarding the efficacy of Type A flu, and provides a list of the irregularities related the current push to declare H1N1 a pandemic (Please click on links below - Parts 1 thru 6 for video). According to the Youtube source 1Alish, Dr. Forcades explains the consequences of the declaration of a pandemic, the political consequences from this declaration, and makes a proposal for everyone to keep calm. She calls for an urgent activation of all legal mechanisms and the participation of all citizens in this matter.

Please know that I would not make you aware of this information if I did not think it was worthy of your attention. Also, the sharing of this is in no way intended to evoke fear or worry on the part of the reader/viewer, but is intended to inform, and help people to be more aware of information not readily available to them through traditional media sources. I wrote an article some time ago on the subject of Situational Awareness, relating that part of awakening to our true selves as Soul also meant becoming aware of and seeing the outer circumstances we currently live in with different eyes. It is in that spirit that I share this with you. I hope you share it with others.
