Consciousness

When the heart is open
and the mind, still
we can understand
what cannot be understood.
Consciousness
is a state of being.

Consciousness is awareness of the hidden force that powers all that is. Consciousness is a connection to “all that is”, and therefore essentially a healing frequency, the power key in life. Through conscious awareness we realize our peak performance, physcially, mentally, emotionally and spiritualluy. Through consciousness we affirm our life potential as beings of love and light. Without consciousness we are ignorant of the energy source that causes the sun to shine and of the turn and orbit of the planets that allows trees and plants to grow, and the animal kingdom to exist.

In a state of being where the mind is clear of thought and open to intuition and the heart free of fear and clear of negativities we become one with the energies that is life. We are then in a ste of being where we are, in the moment, not the “I am because I think” or “I am because I have or own” etc., but only “I am”. Waves of this life force causes the swell on the ocean to break as waves on the shore, a bigger universal force part of a greater whole of galaxies and dimensions so vast and mysterious that we can only begin to comprehend time-space intellectually.

Yet the ability to understand all of this is illuminated by the simple practice of meditation. In meditation we realize that our lives are lived and dreams dreamed by virtue of an energy inside yet not of us. In meditation we awaken our connection with this energy field consciously – thoughts are stilled and the heart open, and the life force felt or experienced directly. The meditating mind then realises first hand that any one part of the universe is connected to every other part, an energetically interconnected whole.

It is human nature to look for meaning in life. Theories about the origin and nature of the universe abounds. Physicists, mathematicians, natural scientists, philosophers and artists have explored, debated and experimented in quest of uncovering the nature of the universe.

Humankind have looked for and found meaning in awareness of and honouring of the life force and some call it God, or by any of its many names, Krishna, Allah, Jehovah, Jah, The Divine, thousands more. Some long to be in the presence of their God’s light, some live in fear of it, some wants to prove God exists, others deny God, oppose God or disprove God. Others think of the life force as an expression of God. Be that as it may, named or unnamed, conceptualized or intuited, the life force exists.

Without it there would be no breath, no living thing on earth, the universe would be dead. We cannot fully rationalize the awesome beauty or terrible terror of life. We can only feel or experience love and fear, and know it to be real through our consciousness – the ability to be aware. Through our conscious awareness we can connect to the life force that is the universe, and know ourselves.

This consciousness is not a concept or mental construct, as life continues In the absence of consciousness. The light of consciousness transforms life into a gift, a prism of layered dimensions filled by the light of love and life.
