Transcendence is a state of being. It is the natural state of existence and a promise that all dimensions are interactive, interconnected and accessible to each other.

Therefore, transcendence is not an escape from the physical world but transcends the physical plane of existence to see and experience it from a multi-dimensional point of view. When you transcend your physical being, you expand your abilities to maneuver within your world. You not only gain access to your spiritual nature, but the reality in which you dwell is transformed.

Transcendence, as mentioned, is the true nature of life. You are neither slave to nor lord over physical existence but an active participant and co-creator of it. All things come into perspective and alignment in the state of transcendence, for when you transcend the physical plane of existence, you are consciously aware of the multi-dimensional being you are.

Transcendence is the means by which the consciousness of creation is fully expressed in physical form through you.

Transcendence is a state of consciousness that erases the illusion between your creations and the consciousness that created it—and is a complete expression of God in physical form.

Consciousness is a dynamic state, never at rest. Yes, stilling the mind allows you to hear that consciousness more clearly, but the mind is not consciousness nor the domain of it. Physical thought is not the source of consciousness but a vehicle to channel its creative force.

Consciousness swirls within your being waiting to be expressed. Though always in movement, it never tires, constantly creating yet never depleted; it awaits your command.

How do you harness this dynamo of creativity? Can it be controlled or directed if unleashed? Be assured that you will not release a beast that will devour you; for this dynamic force within you does not need to be tamed but rather trained by your thoughts to express creatively in your life. Creative consciousness is pure potential waiting for your focus and intent to direct it.

What if you choose not to focus at all? That in and of itself is a focused thought that creates. You are always creating. You cannot flee from that fact or abdicate your responsibilities for your creations. Most of humanity’s mis-creations are due to either neglect of the creative consciousness or distracting thoughts that disempower the creative mandates of your mind.

In actuality, you cannot mis-create. Though creative consciousness is the most powerful force in the universe that it created, it is totally subservient to the commands of your thoughts. Creative consciousness is the force and source of all creation, but you are the architect upon which it builds your world.

Perhaps a better understanding of what creative consciousness encapsulates would be if it was thought of as being consciously creative. So make a commitment to be consciously creative in your life and harness the creative consciousness within you, and all things you desire will be given to you.

Prejudice is the child of the concept of separation and the energy of the negative ego consciousness. It is condemnation and degradation of another because they are seen as different.

The more one separates themselves from another, the greater the isolation and self-condemnation becomes. How bland a world if every flower looked the same, the same fragrance, the same number of petals and the same hue. How bland the world would be if in each species there was only one family. Your physical plane of existence is a celebration of differentiation working in unison for the common good of all.

Humanity’s judgement, condemnation, and ostracism is a stain on the fabric of creation.

To deny another their right to exist condemns yourself to non-existence. Prejudice is insidious and spreads like cancer throughout the human consciousness. Prejudice and its condemnation of others minimizes one’s own existence.

Prejudice is a toxic mix of judgement, the concept of separation and, the worst of all, disavowing that an aspect of creation is not good or less than oneself. All creation has a right to exist. All creation was chosen by a greater mind than your human ego consciousness. To place yourself in judgement of another is to worship a false god.

And prejudice is an accurate meter to the degree to which one does not, cannot or will not honor or respect oneself. For what you give or deny another is what you give or deny yourself. The curse you place upon another is the blessing you will receive.

Humanity is slowly, tediously, sometimes begrudgingly moving towards a greater recognition of the unity of all that exists.

Take a moment in your day and stop and determine where your prejudices are, for all of humanity has them, and it is a silent enemy that steals the gifts from you. For if you are prejudice that an individual is a different ethnic background, sexual preference, race or creed, you steal that freedom from yourself. If you are prejudice against the rich, you will be poor. If you are prejudice against another individual, you are imprisoned.

We give you this concept not for self-judgement for that is truly the seed of all prejudice.

But to take an honest inventory of all that you encounter and acknowledge its right and useful place in the process of creation. The one who is prejudice is the loneliest of all individuals for they have multiplied ten-fold the concept of alienation and separation and have imprisoned themselves into an ever-shrinking world.

As mentioned, the seed of all prejudice is born from insecurity and inadequacy of one’s perception of themselves. You only lift yourself up if you perceive yourself lesser than those around you. That is an important concept for when one stands truly and fully in the recognition of their rightful, divine state in human existence, they not only need not despise another but their only thought of them would be to embrace them.

In this phase of the clash of human consciousness, the negative ego will seek to reinforce the concept of separation creating prejudice and judgement.

Do not participate; for, this is a time when one needs to welcome the differentiation in the aspects of creation in order to embrace it fully and completely.

Let your garden be full of fragrances and a myriad of colors for paradise is the combination and accentuation of everything that exists in perfect harmony and unison.

Participation in the path of the soul is a powerful expression of one’s willingness to both dwell in and be of assistance to the world in which they live. An error often made is the belief that the path of the soul must be some profound journey or have some noticeable universal impact upon humankind. Yes, there are those, like the face of the clock, whose actions are visible to many; yet, if it was not for all the intricate, minute parts that perform their task hidden beneath the surface what you can see of the clock would be useless.

Therefore, whatever you are called to do, do it well. Whatever tasks you are asked to perform, do so knowing that they contribute to the greater good of all. Be willing to be the hidden piece behind the scenes that makes all things possible. To deny each moment, disregard each act eliminates the possibility and the potential of moving your world into the consciousness of God.

The simplest of acts may be the most profound. The lowliest of tasks may be the most important. Be the silent, secret servant to the greater consciousness of good, and you will participate in and outwardly express the consciousness of God in physical form.

Your brother, Jesus, spoke that if you have but the faith of a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, “cast yourself into the sea,” and it shall be so. It is just as significant, just as profound and just as important to humanity if that event occurs by the mountain leaping into the sea, by gathering a community of people to carry it away, or if you take the lowly teaspoon, and spoonful by spoonful move it to the sea.

Hold the highest good, seek the greatest result; yet, in that process, do not deny the value or the importance of the lowliest of tasks. For even the greatest mountain is made out of grains of sand. The awakening of humanity occurs moment by moment with each task done in love. You are called to be great in the simplest of matters, and the lowliest of actions are the foundation upon which the new world is built.

Celebrate the simplicity of your life and the profoundness of the result. With intention, never question, with purpose never doubt the power of your soul in physical form.

Experiences are the outcome of the creative process of the mind. They are born from your thoughts and are living consciousness. They are not just events happening to you or circumstances and situations you interact with. They are infused with the lifeblood of the power of your mind and are conceived of your thoughts. Therefore, they are not random occurrences but deliberate creations. Some readers may say that we have spoken of how your thoughts create your reality, and that is true. But in this concept, we wish to speak of the specifics that make up that reality—your experiences.

Most of humanity go through a day simply responding and reacting to what is encountered, dealing with what they have been dealt on a daily basis, often paying little attention to what they experience and not able to recall most events of the day. As a result, they live in a relatively unconscious state, oblivious to their lives and vulnerable rather than in command.

An appropriate analogy might be like driving a car without paying attention to the road. They miss out on opportunities to determine courses of action that are in alignment with their goals and thoughtful responses to their daily living. As a result, they never actually experience their experiences, and therefore, life becomes bland and muted.

Your experiences give meaning to your life when you allow yourself to become a participant in and a co-creator of what you encounter, accepting that you write the script of your life and not all things are left to chance. When you own your experiences and are involved and active in your life, you harness the creative abilities of your thoughts, and your experiences are not just ambient creations of a wandering mind but a cohesive and consistent life plan of actions.

Your experiences then become the building blocks of your reality. When purposely laid by intent and cemented by action, they create a structure of your choosing in which to house your life.

You would find it enlightening to note that even human activities, such as productivity, expansion of programs and businesses, innovation and growth, mimic this natural pattern. Yes, modern society has been able to modify the effect of the natural cycle of the seasons, fending off the cold, and lighting the night. But still on a deep physiological and energetic level, humanity is still affected by and susceptible to these ebbs and flows of light and temperature. Not that human activities are determined by the seasons but if you live in a physical world, why wouldn’t the tendency to create be affected by this cyclical pattern of physical existence?

Throughout history there have been those who have read the stars and divination, observed nature’s ebbs and flows to predict the outcomes of human behavior and appropriate courses of actions to take. Indeed, some in their enthusiasm and misunderstanding have failed to interpret the signs correctly, often turning this sacred science into magical distortions and creating the illusion of mystery.

The reality is all of creation works in harmony and balance with itself, in assistance to itself.

The birds of the air know when to fly south for the winter or animals to travel to higher elevations in preparation for a tsunami. Why wouldn’t humanity have the same intuitive ability to read and understand the indicators and signs that nature is offering. We are not suggesting to go off and read tea leaves or the stripe on the back of a caterpillar to determine the winter, but we are suggesting that humanity reevaluate and take a new look at how to read the signs being offered.

In your sacred writings, it is stated there is a season for planting, a season for harvesting, a season for being born, a season to die, a season to work and a season to refrain from working.

There is power to be found in the understanding and utilization of the natural cycles of creation to assist humanity in achieving its goals and desires.

This reality is not limiting but rather freeing. The obstinate might demand, “I wish to plant in the winter or harvest after the first frost.” Of course, their endeavors would find failure. We find it curious that humanity is forever seeking to ignore their physicality and accept that they are but a species upon this planet and born from the very earth on which they stand. It is only stubbornness and ignorance that promotes this endeavor.

When you, the consciousness of All That Is, emerged into physical existence, it was to participate fully in the cycles of life and acknowledge all aspects of nature as sacred. Yes, you are the eternal beings, infinite and non-ending. You are the breadth and depth of All That Is; yet, in coming into physical existence, which by the way is your creation, you bless that which you have created by your full participation in the physical experience. There is and there has never been anything created by the mind of All That Is that is not necessary and in balance for creating the most optimal opportunity for that mind to be expressed in creation.

Lest one be in error, the coming of the new age is not an escape from the physical plane of existence, for the rising of consciousness by its very nature must inspire a more intimate relationship with the physical expression of creation. In the coming age, humanity will experience a greater understanding, participation, and harmony with the planet and the universe in which it dwells. The planet is not your prison. It has only become such by the misinterpretation and misrepresentation of the meaning of existence. Indeed, there will be a new heaven and a new earth and it comes about by the intelligent, informed participation of the inhabitants of the universe.

So don’t seek to escape. Do not see spiritual attainment as a removal from the physical plane of existence.

Why would the One Mind of All That Is create something that is not beneficial for its children? The physical plane of existence expands who you are, it mirrors the infiniteness and eternalness of your spiritual beings. The earth is the cradle of your consciousness. You only feel encumbered when you fail to remember that your consciousness is a participant in creation, and your existence supersedes any physical boundaries.

The coming age, humanity’s new season of consciousness, will bring greater comprehension and understanding of your spiritual origins and divine purpose for physical creation as an expression and an expansion of yourself. For the birds of the air will again feed you, and you will walk in harmony and balance with all things.

Paradise had not been lost. It was just that the one seeking it had forgotten how to find it.

All of the countless centuries of human growth, expansion, and discovery have been for the sole purpose of finding where they left paradise—for paradise and physical creation, in all of its majesty, beauty and mystery, is the fingerprint of God upon the conscious mind of creation.

Humanity is in an evolutionary growth process. The spiritual consciousness and the physical mind are merging.

It has been stated by physicians, psychologists and scientists that humanity uses only a small portion of their physical brain. Part of the awakening process is a physical evolution. The Creator has never and will never create unneeded or useless aspects of physical existence. Therefore, the unused portion of your mind is not vacant storage space, it is potential to be awakened. It is the physical mechanism and circuitry to contain the consciousness of All That Is.

The physical body is a perfect vehicle for the expression of God in physical form; and the physical mind is a perfect container for that consciousness.

Therefore it is important to acknowledge and accept that the awakening process is a physical evolution in the existence of the human species. As you draw these higher vibratory frequencies into your physical body and your consciousness, your physical body and consciousness is stimulated and responds to this vibratory frequency. As you go about your pursuit of spiritual awareness and enlightenment, acknowledge, accept and be open to physical, emotional and mental shifts in your physical expression.

Creation is consciousness and consciousness is creation. They are dynamic and ever-evolving into greater possibilities and potential—and so are you.

The post The Conception of Consciousness appeared first on Awakening Publications.

Throughout our teachings, we have spoken of the power of your thoughts and the dominion of your consciousness in your life. Religiously and spiritually, you have been promised ultimate victory and realized goals if you have the faith or the focus to achieve them. So when disappointments occur, and they will, and tragedies trespass on your life, you have few alternatives to comfort yourself—either resigning yourself to “it was God’s will” or a failure on your part to manifest well, or perhaps just fate.

So what do you do when your dreams fall from the sky like teardrops on your life? When the irrevocable happens, death, illness or accident? Are the promises we have made or the prophets’ and masters’ contingent possibilities or spiritual bar too high to be reached? The reality is that even the masters did not get everything they wanted and were disappointed.

So that begs the question, what are disappointments’ spiritual value?

We will not insult you with either some religious rhetoric or spiritual truisms in an attempt to explain away the sadness you encounter at the loss of your dreams. Just because loss does not exist in consciousness does not mean it is not REAL and has to be coped with while reaching for that spiritual epiphany of understanding.

In addition, to be told that on some spiritual level it is for your highest good is the ultimate injury of all, making you your own worst enemy and fracturing you between what you desire and what you supposedly need. Be you an uninvested Buddhist or a spiritual activist, disappointment and defeat will drop by your door. Each philosophy would suggest a different response to them, but at best, how humanity deals with disappointment is to find a place of peace in their psyche where they can deposit their deflated dreams and return to some degree of hope for better days ahead.

So without a repetition of the litany of pacifiers offered from the orthodox to the profane, what can we add to the mix without toppling the already teetering supports for the disappointed?

Our simple answer is there are and will be disappointments in the human experience, some far greater than others, no matter how hard you pray or affirm differently. Does that mean all you have been taught or believed in is a sham? That humanity is the victim to, rather than the victor, of its reality. We are so tempted to barrage the reader at this point with the wonderment of what exists beyond the illusion, but today you live in the illusion as you look at yourself in the looking glass yearning for what lies on the other side.

So how do you give hope that is not an anesthetic to numb the human experience? We offer this and hope it does not add to or topple the litany of beliefs but supports you in your real pain.

Simply stated, neither dreams attained nor disappointments experienced are destinations but, rather, they are means to set the standards of your consciousness. The parameters of your existence are set by your response to them.

Your response to dreams and disappointments is an indicator of where you dwell in consciousness and are the standard bearers of your reality.

Though the thought of a dream fulfilled seems sweeter to the mind, they both demand an accounting of your consciousness when they occur. Your response to them is an indicator to guide your consciousness.

When your response to dreams fulfilled and disappointments experienced becomes one and the same, you have entered the realms of enlightenment and there is no longer a need for either; for, they solicit the core of your consciousness to manifest in your reality.

So when it no longer matters, it will no longer matter, and all things will be in alignment with your consciousness and the other side of the looking glass can be found in your response to them.

What then of memories? Are they a mental exercise to be avoided? You might question if it is possible or even appropriate to live in the vacuum of neither responding to the past nor preparing for the future. We agree memories are part of the human thought process. We have explained that memories laden with emotional baggage are not beneficial and hinder present growth because of them.

What of those good memories that solicit feelings of warmth and love?

As mentioned, you cannot live in a mental vacuum, but you must choose where you wish your thoughts to dwell. Recalling the past makes it present; for, all memories are in the moment. The thoughts and emotions generated by them are in the now. They may seem a recalling of an old feeling, but they are new when retrieved and are experienced as if for the very first time. That is why detrimental memories need to be resolved; otherwise, you relive the trauma anew over and over again.

A memory is a thought, and all thoughts are present, therefore, they are a current event. So even though a memory seems to be a recollection, perhaps initiated by a photo, video or an event, it is equal to all other thoughts and considered to be in the present moment by the mind.

A meaningful memory is one you hold onto because of how it makes you feel now.

Therefore, recalling memories is a choice about how you wish to feel in the present moment. They are appropriate as long as you remain in the present while viewing them because they are not, as one might suppose, a pathway to the past—but a direction for your future.

The result, in both scenarios, is that humanity is left lacking, discouraged and self-judgmental. The elusive state of ease and effortlessness not only seems unreachable, but its absence is seen as self-condemnation.

The reality for humanity is that life has its challenges and it is often neither easy nor effortless. We disagree that their absence is a gauge of goodness. If that were the case, all the prophets and masters would have fallen desperately short of the mark.

So then are difficulties and challenges humanity’s lot? No, when understood in the light of learning. The intent of this concept is to remove them as a means of measurement of goodness or spiritual enlightenment; for, the master is born from the raging storm, not the tranquil sea.

Obstacles are opportunities, and challenges are a chance to empower yourself and transform your reality. They exist to edify, modify and empower your life.

It is true that difficulties can be indicators of a necessary change needed or of a lesson chosen to be learned—but they are simply that. Once changes occur and lessons are learned, the soul wastes no time in bringing forward the next opportunity for learning.

So are we saying that ease and effortlessness are not to be had? Not at all, for a willing soul can have them as they move through the challenges and lessons of life—such is grace.

Success is not a life without obstacles and challenges but one unhindered by them. Thus is the definition of ease and effortlessness: ease and effortlessness are not the absence of challenges but your ability to maneuver through them. Ease and effortlessness are gifts of grace, not the judgment of behavior.

So how do you possess ease and effortlessness in the presence of daily dilemmas and struggles?

First, by ownership of what you are experiencing; second, the acknowledgment that their presence is for your highest good and learning; and thirdly, that you have the abilities and skills to master the challenges you face. Therein lies the source of ease and effortlessness. They are a state of being created by a willing and open soul. Ease and effortlessness are not the meter of attainment but the means to it – through self-acceptance, willingness and dominion in one’s life and world.

Ease and effortlessness are the path traveled—not the goal to be reached.

They are a promise that all you experience can be transformed; for, they shine most brightly in the darkest hour as guides to show the way. Their attainment is by willingness, dedication and acceptance to your chosen path of learning. Therefore, as you seek ease and effortlessness as a tool rather than a goal—you will possess them both.
