The following is an excerpt from The Seven Gifts of Consciousness, The Bounty of the Universe.

The Seven Gifts of ConsciousnessJust as there are energetic levels of consciousness—concentric circles infinitely expanding into the reaches of awareness and existence—there are counterparts in your physical existence that allow you to experience consciousness. Your physical senses allow you to maneuver and perceive your third dimensional existence. Sensing consciousness is the ability to perceive and interact with the spiritual realm in which you simultaneously dwell.

Spirit has often been referred to as breath or air which is unseen yet vital for life. It has a profound effect on your physical existence but is often forgotten in your daily activities. The same is true with the spiritual elements of your existence–necessary yet unseen and often forgotten. Sensing cosmic consciousness is your intrinsic ability to identify, experience and utilize that physically invisible force that so profoundly impacts your life.

The physical plane of existence and the spiritual realms are not like oil and water, rather their merging is an emulsion, a combination, an integration of these two vital aspects of existence—the creator and the creation—into a new form. It is impossible to separate or extract one from the other. The elements of consciousness and the physical aspects of creation are forever transformed by their merging.

Your ability to experience this joining is in direct proportion to your willingness to look beyond the obvious and seemingly dominant aspects of your physical life. We will use the analogy that the color violet is created from red and blue. For humanity, the world is far more “red-violet” where the perfect balance between the physical “red” and the spiritual “blue” is the truth of their being. Though creation was instantaneous, its evolution is a progressive march across the eons of time toward its ultimate destination of oneness with the source that created it. Therefore, the physical plane of existence, though already merged with the consciousness of the creator, is in an evolutionary expression of that fact.

Acknowledge that there are spiritual gifts that are just as important and essential to your ability to function both as a spiritual and physical being. We will close with the common quote often used to remind spiritual seekers of their true identity, “You are a spiritual being having a physical experience.” Believe it or not, that is not fully correct, for just as the world is not red-violet, neither is it blue-violet. You are the integration of both seeking complete balance and harmony between the consciousness that created you and the physical expression that manifests creation.

Affirmation
I create balance and harmony between the physical and spiritual aspects of my life.

Activity
The concept states: Sensing cosmic consciousness is your intrinsic ability to identify, experience and utilize that physically invisible force that so profoundly impacts your life. Spirit’s influence on your life has been likened to the air we breathe, vital for survival but often overlooked and forgotten.

Using your intrinsic ability to identify, experience and utilize Spirit, create a flow chart to indicate: (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flowchart)
– Areas in which you identify the presence of spirit in your life,
— The attributes experienced by that presence,
— Utilization of that experience identified.

Exercises
Your physical senses allow you to maneuver and perceive your third dimensional existence. To sense consciousness is the ability to perceive and interact with the spiritual realm in which you simultaneously dwell.

In your opinion, can your physical senses allow you to perceive the presence of Spirit?
If so, how have you sensed the presence of Spirit? Give examples.

The concept states that the Creator and the Creation when joined, unlike oil and water, become inseparable and take on a new form.
Using this analogy, describe in detail what you believe humanity’s “new form” to be when they become merged and inseparable from the creator.

The concept indicates that: You are seeking complete balance and harmony between the consciousness that created you and the physical expression that manifests creation.
List and describe what active steps you can take to create balance and harmony between these two aspects of your life.
