Infinite Consciousness

woman meditating1 200x300 Infinite Consciousness

Dear friend,

Have you ever heard the expression “infinite consciousness”? When we reflect on this description, we come to realize that nothing in the universe really dies. Everything changes from one thing to another. Consider a caterpillar that transforms into a beautiful butterfly or an acorn into a tree.

But what about us? Who are we? We cannot be our human body. After all, the human body recycles over 98% of all of the matter in the body. We have a new skin once a month. At an atomic molecular level, we have a new liver every 6 weeks and a new stomach lining every five days. Every year, our body dies and transforms into a new one. We, however, do not die through the process.

One might say: “I am my brain” however, the brain is an organ that cannot function without a mind or Soul to direct it.  Einstein’s brain is stored in a science lab in the USA but, without Albert being there to use it, it is of no use whatsoever.

One might say: “I am my mind”. However, when we meditate, we realize that we can think but our thoughts are not who we are. We often say, “I think so” or “I think this or that …” but who is the “I” behind the person thinking?

The “I” represents a timeless field of consciousness having a physical human experience. In the East, this is called “pure consciousness”. In the West, we call it the “Soul” or “Spirit”.  At a deeper level of consciousness (a field of infinite potential), there is no “I” because everything is connected in this physical universe. We are all unique expressions of pure consciousness experiencing the human journey. Imagine that a water drop represents the Soul and the ocean represents Pure consciousness. The water drop is part of the ocean, but each and every drop (Soul) can have a unique experience before returning back to the great ocean (Pure consciousness).

When we meditate on this, we realize that our worries and day to day anxious thoughts are not worthy of our time. Yes, we have to live in the world (pay our bills, be of service, fulfil our duties etc), however we do not have to be “of” this world (becoming a robot programmed into a limited structure).

Dream

dream Dream

Dear friend,

As human beings we have an incredible gift: the ability to dream a new potential reality. We have the ability, through the mind, body & soul to make an intention (a conscious desire) to visualize our dreams, to polish this image within the depths of our imagination and then manifest our goals through belief, action and by helping others along the way.

Life, in its essence, is a magical journey. Even wonderful creatures such as dolphins do not have the ability to completely change their internal and external reality but we can! This of course, brings a sense of responsibility for the greater good of humanity and planet Earth. We can literally sit down for a moment, close our eyes, breathe deeply and ask ourselves (through the human heart): “If I could co-create a new dream with the universe, what would it look like and how would I feel about it coming true?” Once we know exactly what resonates with our Soul, (pure consciousness) we are on the right track to be of service to the world through our talents and skills.

To dream is one of the most worthy things to do, if followed by action. This universe is like a blank canvas that is shaped through the evolution of consciousness. In human terms, we are infinite consciousness that can create new stories and realities in the human experience. This is what all of the great artists, writers, inventors and spiritual teachers have done throughout human history.

How is it possible that we can fly from London to Milan within 3 hours? How is it possible that we can send an email to a friend in Tokyo, while sitting in a rain forest in Brazil? How is it that scientists and doctors are uncovering new ways of repairing the brain and the body/nervous system through neuroplasticity and cognitive and behavioural neuroscience? Where did the vision come from to make these things possible and what inspired it? They originated from a group of brave human beings going deep within and following the direction from the heart in order to build a new dream in the human mind. This dream was then expressed through the human body, permitting the dreamers to take action. We can do this too and we are - every second of the day. The ideal here is to focus on the positive (create a positive canvas). Remember, everything starts with a dream.

Keep Flowing

BeautifulWaterStream 300x186 Keep FlowingDear friend,

I hope you’re good today. Life is a beautiful journey. However, at times it can be very challenging. It’s human nature to want to advance, to create, to serve, to live in better surroundings and to advance in our activities. There is nothing wrong with desiring a better life. This is healthy! Some spiritual teachers will argue by saying that to desire is the route of all suffering however, to not want to desire, is a desire in itself. So, let’s not fall for the misnomer of pretending we don’t want a better life.

The reality is this: to gain anything worthwhile for the long haul takes a lot of intelligent work (actions) and of course, perseverance. Sadly, millions of people spend hours dreaming, thinking and talking about what they want in life. However, thinking and talking isn’t enough. Action is required. Unfortunately, when these people start to put in the action and come up against their “perceived” obstacles, they quit.

If we investigate anyone who has contributed something special to the human experience and manifested their hearts’ dreams, quitting was never an option. They came up against countless obstacles and challenges and perhaps they had to change their game plan (strategy) along the way, however, they kept on trying until eventually it paid off.

I’m sure that you have at least one example in your own experience when you made a decision to go for something and never gave up. Within a reasonably short period of time, you made it happen. It worked!!!

Having a persistent attitude is no different from working out on a particular muscle in the gym. If you continue to work out, your muscles will continue to be strong. If you stop, however, the human muscles weaken. This is exactly the same with our attitudes towards life. We can, through habit, learn to cultivate a positive attitude that embraces challenges rather than fearing them.

The next time you come up against a challenging moment, pause and take several deep breaths. Breathe deeply and pay attention to the rhythm of your breathing (this is called meditation). You will instantly feel a sense of calm and peace within. Once you are feeling serene, move swiftly into action. Never take an action or make a decision when feeling anxious or worried.

“A Ticket to Prosperity” is deep within your consciousness

fall leaves 300x199 “A Ticket to Prosperity” is deep within your consciousness

Dear friend,

True prosperity cannot be attained in the external world. Everything in the external world will eventually dissolve. Material possessions, even things that we have created will one day vanish.  The sun, moon, stars and even planet earth will one day turn back into “no form” and disappear back into pure, undiluted Energy. True prosperity is a state of consciousness (prosperity consciousness) that does not worship materialism although it uses material objects to play with, during the human experience. There is nothing wrong with enjoying material objects, however human sickness develops when one is emotionally attached to “things”. In other words, people lose their sanity when they make money or property their god, rather than embracing the state of their consciousness first.

The way to live a peaceful life is to  adopt spiritual principles first and then enjoy material gain, never the other way round. If we can be happy with very little money, we can be happy with large sums of it too. If, however, we fall into the trap of believing that “the next big thing will make me happy”, true peace of mind will elude us even if financial success comes our way.  We’ll always be focused on the “next thing” rather than embracing this moment, which is a tragic and futile way to live.

If we continually strive to “get money” then the chances are very little it will happen. However, when we focus on providing a service or “going the extra mile” while providing our work or products, enjoying the experience, enjoying the moment, living in the present (not the future), rather than trying to manipulate the outcomes & results, we will attract things to enjoy.  Remember that God gives us what our consciousness reflects. If one has an attitude of “need” “desperate wanting” & “yearning for things” then the person will attract these experiences into their reality and experience. Remember that one’s reality is a mirror image of one’s consciousness. Get rid of “needy” thoughts and watch how your external life will change for the better!

In “A Ticket to Prosperity”, Chapter 2 “Feel & Meditate on Prosperity”, I wrote that:

“We are not going through an “economy crisis”; we are going through a “spiritual transition”. On a deeper level, the collective consciousness of humanity is awakening. Nature destroys and rebuilds to evolve a new paradigm. Human beings are natural; therefore our creation must also be destroyed to rebuild; so that new ways of providing service can develop. Nature abhors a vacuum.”
