STAGES OF CONSCIOUSNESS
 
Each of us goes through life with a different perspective on our relationship with the world around us.  I don't want to say that most of us feel like victims on this plane of existence, but that is what I mostly see.  Questions and criticisms arise in our individual self consciousness like "why does this always happen to me?" and "I never have any luck". 
 
The majority think that outside circumstances are the cause of their negative results.  I can't blame anybody for thinking in this manner.  In this society, we are taught "what you see is what you get".  Statements like these limit us to seeing what is happening only in the world "out there".  What about the world in here?
 
The New Testament states that "it is done unto you as you believe".  I know I'm quoting the Bible here and that there is always controversy when it comes to religion.  I need to make this statement right now; Jesus should not be looked upon as the great exception, but the great example of human potential.  He was teaching us that what you believe within becomes your reality without. 
 
Scientists, psychologists, neuroscientists, quantum physicists and teachers of the 20th and 21st century have and are researching human consciousness and belief.  It is becoming clear that "it is done unto you as you believe".  Examples of scientific research are studies on neuroplasticity, wave function collapse, quantum computing of microtubules in cytoskeleton of the brain, DMT, quantum entanglement, mind-body connection, the double-slit experiment, etc.
 
Great spiritual teachings also tell us that Spirit works in, through, around, for, and as us.  That we must pray affirmatively and meditate to understand this great truth.  I'm reading a book right now called Life Visioning by Michael Beckwith.  He claims that the four stages of consciousness are TO ME, TO IT, THROUGH ME, and AS ME.  These translate to Victim Consciousness, Manifester Consciousness, Channel Consciousness, and Being Consciousness.  Victim Consciousness states that things happen to me, Manifester states that I create my life circumstances and attract all the material posessions I want with ease, Channel states that we live in ultimate surrender to Spirit and that God works through us, and Being states that there is no egoic self and that I am one with God.  You can go from Victim Consciousness to Being Consciousness by practicing meditation, affirmations, visualization and visioning.
 
As you can see, having a strong belief in your inner spirit and knowing that the outside world is an effect and the inner world is a cause will accelerate your evolutionary growth.
 
Namaste.

Here are a couple of quotes from one of my very influential spiritual teachers, Ernest Holmes.  Know that you are that divine presence that works through us.

"The Spirit within me, which is God, the Living Spirit Almighty, is Perfection. It is Wholeness; It is Peace. It is Divine Guidance, perfect peace, Complete Wholeness, Absolute Perfection, and right now, this moment, this Spirit governs every act of my life. It surrounds me with Light, in which there is no darkness, no gloom, no heaviness and no fear. In this Light, I live and move and have my being. And this Light dispels all darkness and casts out all fear.

"This Divine Wisdom within me guides every act, directs everything in my life, toward happiness, toward peace, toward power; and being the Spirit of Love, It surrounds me with beauty, with friendship and with joy. Being the giver of Life, every day I receive that which is perfect, abundant, happy, joyful and free. Being that Divine Thing which individualizes in me, It is entirely individual, personal and unique. I am the expression of my own complete self, and there is no barrier or bar to that self-expression. Being the Spirit of Substance, that Spirit within me is the Father of Supply, and it brings to me everything necessary to my unfoldment, and keeps me in the wisdom through which It governs me, now and forever."

Welcome all!  Thank you so much for checking out my blog.  This blog was created for you

There is much more to life than what we touch, see, feel, or hear; a dimension and presence which lies beyond our three dimensional perspective.  This dimension and presence is so much closer and potent than once thought.  This dimension I mention is Heaven, the presence is God. 

Now hear me out.  I know this is starting to sound very religious-like with the mention of Heaven and God.  I'm not talking about these divine properties in a way which they are separate from us.  What I'm trying to say is that they are within us.  Why would I make such a statement as this?  Because what I've learned is that Heaven is a state of mind and God is a presence that penetrates all.  You can believe in God in any way you want (this includes a non-belief) and God is referred to in many names.  I personally don't believe in a giant white-bearded man in the clouds that judges all human beings.  What I believe in is an infinite judgeless presence of intelligence, creativity, and unconditional love.  A presence of ONE.  This concludes that there is no such thing as hell or the devil.  What a relief!

This Universal Intelligence flows in, through, around, for, and AS us.  From what you have read, you can see that we have a pivotal role in Universal Intelligence.  Our role is that we are INDIVIDUALIZED EXPRESSIONS OF GOD.  If this is true, why do we feel separate from God, each other, and/or anything else within our Universal realm?  The answer is EGO.  Ego is the false sense of self that we are separate from everything and that we must fight only for ourselves.  This is the cause of materialism, attachment, selfishness, loneliness, depression, war... I think you get the picture.  Dr. Wayne dyer says E.G.O. is EDGING GOD OUT.  Just know that we are not separate from all, we just FEEL separate from all.

There are many ways to feel connected to our innermost self which is the oneness with all.  These activites include meditation, visualization, visioning, affirmative prayer, affirmations, self-hypnosis, etc.  These aren't the only activities out there to feel connected.  You may find one or more that work for you. 

I'm here to guide you into feeling one with all and to manifest your innermost desires.  This is a space of enlightenment and peace.  I will post more in-depth teachings of great spiritual principles to attain oneness and manifesting desires.  Until then, research great spiritual teachings like Metaphysics, Transcendentalism, New Thought, Baghavad Gita, Vedanta, Alchemy, Mindfulness, etc.  Also research the teachers like Siddhartha, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry David Thoreau, Phineas Parkhurst Quimby, Ernest Holmes, Deepak Chopra, Michael Beckwith, Louise Hay, Eckhart Tolle, Dr. Wayne Dyer, etc.

Thank you with love.

Namaste
