  • Moving Around In Consciousness

    Moving Around in Consciousness

    This idea has crystalized for me just lately. I have previously written about this as ‘mobility of consciousness’ and I thought a diagram might add a nice layer.

    This was brought into focus for me again recently by a synchronicity last Thursday. I was getting ready to go to the Kris radio show I co-host with Mark Bukator, Reality by Design.

    I happened to read a short passage in Jane Robert’s book, Psychic Politics, describing her idea that the state of consciousness we are in is a crucial component of whatever we are experiencing in any particular now.

    She describes being downtown in front of a bank. While she is experiencing a heightened level of awareness, including greatly enriched sensory perception, the person on the sidewalk beside her, supposedly experiencing the same reality, might have been thinking about lunch.

    What transpired was that this precise idea was addressed explicitly by Kris in the radio show. Where we go to in our state of consciousness is crucial to how we are perceiving 'reality', and what resources we allow ourselves access to. I have understood for some time that where we place our attention is where our material creation energies go to create our experiences. I had not been framing this as  moving around to actual different 'areas' of consciousness though, in the way Kris seems to suggest.

    To illustrate this idea, let's think of consciousness as an immense condo development, continuously being renovated, with a million rooms that each permit uniquely specific and perhaps undreamed of possibilities. Any change in our lives from this perspective, is actually just moving from one room to another within this vast gestalt of consciousness.

    Practical Uses of This Idea

    Go to the 'room' in consciousness that has the best tools and most helpful vantage point for what you want to accomplish. [If you want to cook dinner don't go to the attic and expect everything to fall into place.]

    The Glories of The Normal Waking State

    If you want to relish the reality you have created, experience it fully, and make choices about where you want to go next, you need to be in the normal waking state.

    The Curious and Surprising Powers of Various Trance States

    If you want to suggest a few things to your neo-conscious having to do with what you want to happen next in your life, it is much more efficient to be in a self-directed trance state.

    [what I am learning is that it can also be immensely useful to 'straddle' these two states, including perhaps even the dream state. This meta-stance cannot fail to provide spectacular new perspectives and potentialities]

  • Conversations with the Neo-Conscious

    Conversations with the Neo-Conscious

    It is helpful to understand that we have consciously set aside a whole lot of our hard-earned knowledge and understanding in order to be here.

    By ‘here’ I mean having a physical life in this dimension as a ‘focal expression of essence’, as the understanding goes in conscious creation circles.

    By ‘set aside’ I mean that we have deliberately thrown up a veil between our whole multi-dimensional self and our conscious awareness in this lifetime. The reason for this is fairly self-evident. It would ruin our experience of this focus to be constantly aware of a myriad of other focuses, never mind the potential to overwhelm ourselves with our perspective as our whole self.

    It is a purposeful choice for the purity and intensity of experience within this focus that we have veiled our awareness in this way. [So in a way, our inability to access our whole self, or other focuses, is not a bug but a feature of the program we have devised for ourselves here.]

    As divinely prudent beings though, we have embedded a ‘fail-safe’ system so that if we do get totally lost, we have a built-in resource that automatically connects us to the whole of ourselves, and all of our vast powers and innate understanding as essence. We call this resource the neo-conscious mind.

    The neo-conscious is all of our conscious awareness plus intelligent access to all of our other awareness, such access filtered by the many layers of our intent. The bottom line of all this is whatever honors, benefits, empowers, enriches, nourishes, and fulfills each aspect and the whole - this is what is being valued here.

    One could think of the neo-conscious as a sort of buffer layer in consciousness between our normal, awake selves - one extreme in consciousness - and our whole selves as pure being moving off towards the other end of the spectrum of consciousness. [Keeping in mind that these are all moving targets because everything is constantly changing.]

    This buffer layer is open at both ends and is interactive, meaning that we provide the neo-conscious with just as much meaningful awareness as the neo-conscious provides us. [The neat thing about a holographic universe is that if the universe is infinite, then every individual thing in it, is also infinite, even though aspects of that thing are expressed finitely in this particular dimension.]

    It is important to understand the tone of the relationship we enjoy with our neo-conscious. It is not a god over us. We are not subservient to it in any way, and it is certainly not subservient to us. It is a cleverly designed and divinely inspired aspect of ourselves! Something we created to enhance our experience in this dimension. In plain terms it is a bosom friend we can trust utterly, and use to very good effect in communicating with our whole selves as essence, useful in both sending and receiving.

    - - - - -

    In a recent walk with Kris, he suggested several times that I address a request to my neo-conscious to sort out various issues.

    For instance, in regard to allowing myself to safely experience other dimensions and then return to my familiar life here, he suggested I ask my neo-conscious for ideas about how to accomplish this. Apparently there were many, many ways for me to have this experience.

    The neo-conscious isn’t just a hodgepodge of all of my inner awareness and wisdom. No, no, no! The neo-conscious is an interface with all of these unlimited parts of ourselves, that automatically brings forward into our focused and thereby limited awareness, exactly the right and perfect piece of understanding that we were about to go looking for. [Uncanny is the word we have invented for this, amongst others]

    Sure it provides unlimited access to all of ourselves, but its genius is that it automatically, with our ultimate best interests at heart, arrays options and probabilities in front of us that maximize our potential to get what we really want. [instead of what we might be tempted to settle for]

    And then it ‘rings our bell’ with some metaphorical signal, and offers an insight or understanding about some relevant issue. Then, through impulses, it inspires us to take action! Thereby entering one of these charmed probabilities, by virtue of acting on the values being expressed. This extraordinary, context sensitive guidance system, is built into the reality creation mechanisms of every person on the planet.

    So far, we have only covered the receiving end of neo-conscious awareness. Next we discover the glory of originating messages and defining meaning from our focal perspective. [the neo-conscious is truly a two-way street with a lot of traffic going in both directions.]

    The astonishing thing, keeping in mind the idea of the holographic universe, is that we, as the focal awareness, are actively directing the energies of our entire perceived universe.

    We are the unique and acknowledged captain of the ship of consciousness that we ride upon. [ultimately though, like any politician representing a vast electorate, we can only lead where our constituents are willing to follow, so it is by no mean’s unilateral, this captaincy.]

    Kris suggested we think of ourselves as ‘the conscious part’ of our universe. This takes on new meaning when we realize that where we turn our gaze is where our universe is directing her fabulous reality creation energies - so look for developments in that direction!

    It follows, of course, that the only reasonable course is to focus on the very best that we know, the highest value fulfillment we deem conceivable, without limiting ourselves in any way!

    Let’s leave it to the universe to show us how limited our ideas of perfection might be!
