I’ve used the word ‘consciousness’ a million times (and I still misspell it often). But what does it actually mean? No, I am not going to give you a dictionary or almighty Wikipedia definition – because they don’t tell you anything. No one can know the meaning of love by reading about it in dictionary.
Consciousness is conscious – energy conscious of itself – aware of itself (aware of it’s own existence). I used to think that would be all living things but recent from recent conversations with Abraham I learned that everything is consciousness – everything is aware of itself. Yes even the rocks, the sand grains, even your computer screen!
Their perspective might be entirely different from yours but everything is consciousness. At this point I remember reading about it in Heart Sutra and Diamond Sutra (Remind me to write about them later).
Let us discuss some more properties of consciousness:
It is Energy
Everything is energy, everything is consciousness. This makes so much sense. The source of that energy is non-physical in nature. That means it cannot me smelled, tasted, touched, seen or heard.
It is Vibrational in Nature
I don’t know what you get by vibration but all energy is vibrational in nature and so is consciousness. And all vibrations are managed by the powerful Law of Attraction which is constantly brining like vibrations together.
It is Well-Being
There is nothing as negative enegy. There is nothing called evil, just well being or resistance to it. There is a stream of well-being which flows thorough and to all that is. Those who resist it with their thoughts experience negativity and those who allow it experience well being.
It’s hard concept to get but so it is. I’d like to quote Abraham Hicks Here:
“You do not look for a dark switch which you will flip and inky-misty darkness covers the room, you will not find one. There is no source of darkness – only a source of light that can be resisted.” – Abraham Hicks
There is light or absence of it – no anti-light. There is well-being or absence of it – no evil.
It Enjoys Physical Form
Consciousness does not need to be physical form, thought it enjoys it. Physical form needs consciousness to exist. You can and in fact you do exist out of this physical form. You are not dead or alive – physical or non-physical. You are always alive and always non-physical – sometime choosing to take physical form.
“We are not physical beings going through spiritual journey; we are spiritual beings going trough physical journey.”
This kind of leads to another thing I want to talk about. People often talk of their souls, or consciousness as if it is different. As if it is some sort of light they carry. They think they are their body and souls keep it alive.
Wrong! You are consciousness – your body is just a form. Your awareness is your soul. You are that which consciousness is.
It is Unlimited & Expanding
People want to think of God or soul as perfect, and of themselves as trying to catch-up with their perfectness. Nothing is perfect, everything is evolving and that which you call God (which really the creative center of that which is you) is evolving right along with you on this leading edge of thought.
You are unlimited and you free to choose. You, as consciousness, come in physical world to experience the choices and be more. Nothing else will ever resonate with you.
How Feel your Unlimited Conscious Self
Want to feel how unlimited you are? Want to feel your full power? Meditation is one of the good ways I know. Though this site is full of all the techniques you can try but I am going to give you something right here so you can just read and go for it:
- Sit comfortably with your back straight. (Important or you will fall asleep)
- Close your eyes (after reading the article, that is)
- Focus on your breathing.
- Your mind will wander off, just gently get back on breathing – don’t fight it.
- Keep doing till 10-15 minutes. (You can set an alarm)
Make sure you come back to tell me how you felt. Right now, if you feel like, you can share your thoughts about consciousness in the comments below:
