Twenty years ago meditation was still relatively new to western civilization, practiced by some and not widely known by many. Today, we can visit the beaches across the world, for example in Sydney Australia, where those keen can be found enjoying meditation and yoga by the sea in intimate groups before the day's work begins. Likewise, meditation or mindfulness is now recommended by health professionals for some patients, and similarly also taught in primary schools and special needs education to support personal skills in self-regulation - mental, physical, and emotional. This synthesis of the metaphysical into the physical is broadening our understanding that these two aspects of life are actually one and work in coherence for our greatest benefit.
The state of self-induced relaxation is a powerful skill, and a profoundly beneficial effect of regular meditation practice. Inner peace is much needed in our world, and for relief from the lower consciousness constructs of the personality which is often heavily conditioned by the negative ego; the negative self-talk that would have us believe that sitting for a few moments in peaceful silence in nature has no value - in comparrison to the myriad of more important things we have to attend to. The practice of one's energetic mastery skills (which is what meditation truly represents) even in its humble and foundational beginnings of breath-work, leads eventually (and always has done) to the progression of personal awareness and consciousness of oneself as a soul - and our soul's Source. However, as is often the case with ancient practices carefully guarded for thousands of years and passed down through the ages for sacred keeping - they can become distorted or misused (whether intentionally or unintentionally), and become a watered down version of their original intention, thus losing their true power and meaning. And while the practice of meditation is inherently positive, and even on the surface level of experience has many incredible health benefits, from helping to calm and self-regulate the nervous system to increasing grey matter within the brain that can lead to greater memory and focus, still the more advanced potentials of meditation often remain illusive. This means that for many there is unrealised potential for human consciousness evolution during the experience. And as consciousness, which is governed by natural Universal Laws, acending naturally, and greatly amplified by practices such as meditation, has momentum of its own, the honest practitioner without greater context of understanding may find it more difficult to identify and navigate the profound perceptory shifts and consciousness expansion (ascension) changes that may occur both during and after practice.
From an observer's perspective, it is becoming increasingly easier to see that we have reached a significant period in human consciousness development and evolution. Quantum leaps in self-discovery, sentience, and consciousness embodiment are being experienced by many right at this moment. Like souls are gathering to connect and share intimate stories of their own direct higher consciousness experiences, related abilities, and the impact that these personal activations, shifts, and realizations are having on the dynamics of their personal relationships, their perception of themselves, and their purpose in this lifetime, along with the witnessing of unconsciousness within our society and world as a whole. With every expanded moment of consciousness we activate that which is genetically inherited, unfolding the potential for mastery of advanced (super-consciousness) human abilities, such as: telepathy (more commonly known to exist between genetic brother or sister twins; less commonly known to be a dormant skill many of us have, and a natural characteristic of genetic soul pairings - souls that share one unified consciousness body but incarnate as two individual souls - often as male and female counterparts), remote viewing and bi-location and transmigration, and extra-sensory perception which is a developed form of the more commonly understood intuitive abilities often called the "four clairs", namely: clairsentience (feeling), clairaudience (hearing), clairvoyance (seeing), and claircognizance (knowing), and gnosis - direct personal experience. Skills that we all may have but may lay dormant as untapped potentials or are used frequently but mostly unconsciously.
Often our first recognition of this cosmic intelligence at play in our everyday lives is increased awareness of synchronicity; meaningful encounters and alignments - people, places, events, happenings - experiences beyond the realm of mental or rational explanation. This can be quite jarring to the personality identity, whom for many years has adopted the idea that existence is merely what they can touch, taste, smell, see, and hear - the basic perceptory constructs of third dimensional reality. And yet intuition - which comes to us intimately from an invisible Source within - guides and informs us that these synchronous experiences are worth paying attention to... There is more to explore and to know about life, it whispers, in a language that seems inherently made for us. Conditioning of the negative ego will often attempt to block attempts at consciousness expansion - reeling out a long list of undesirable outcomes - should we dare to take the red pill of higher awareness, and like Neo head straight down the rabbit hole - leaving the comforts of ordinary reality behind. But this is the illusion that unconsciousness has created and the personality self adopts - that we are simply bodies and are not to question the nature of the soul or the possibility of life continuing on... Who benefits from this we may ask? The negative ego that prefers the comforts of its shadowy dominance certainly, but not our evolving consciousness, and not the voice of the soul that longs for us to awaken.
While it may seem that these synchronous and highly personal, consciousness aligned, experiences are increasing in frequency, what really occurs is that we become more conscious of the way in which the intelligent and creative energy of this universal/planetary reality actually works, and our co-creative role within it. The notion of coincidence gives way then to an inner knowing that there is a greater force or intelligence at work in our lives. What is this intelligence? Where does it come from? How does it know where we will be and what we desire or what we had been thinking of? And how, if we are not actively attempting to manifest anything (although this is an area of play that comes thereafter) - does it still manage to create that which we had been quietly dreaming of? These are questions that as unique soul aspects of this cosmic intelligence embodied, we already - on some level of our being - know the answers to, but alas may spend a whole lifetime remembering! Inklings become intuitive nudges, certain experiences stop us in our tracks and encourage us to look deeper within or alter our perspective through self-realization - often rerouting our life's course. We each (whether conscious or unconscious) follow a similar soul-led path of human consciousness evolution. Sometimes quantumn leaps in consciousness occur through tragic events leading to dramatic insights into the nature of life and death - promoting existential questioning, and sometimes through prolonged suffering - where the personality becomes so sick of painful cycles that it begins to reach within for higher guidance on healing and liberation, and becomes intimately acquainted with their own soul's higher (Source) wisdom. Other times energetic shifts occur because it is simply time (ascension path) for our consciousness to evolve, leading to profound changes of perception, beliefs, habits and patterns of experience, relationships, career, hobbies and interests, and lifestyle preferences, along with an increasingly conscious desire to explore, activate, connect, embody... And with this a deeper momentum to live in greater authenticity, sovereignty, and freedom. Greater context of why these changes are taking place helps to create a sense of loving compassion, inner peace, and less resistance in the process of surrendering to personal consciousness expansion, aiding in clearing, healing, growth, and energetic self-mastery. We each have the choice of learning and developing consciousness mastery skills that help us on our journey. The alternative is to remain in unconsciousness or semi-unconsciousness... and keep repeating the same cycles, perhaps lifetime after lifetime! We all have free will. It is our personal choice to exercise this. Knowing we have a choice is often the first step to personal empowerment and liberation.
Contemplation in nature allows for the observation of the interconnection of all living things which includes human life - as a unified whole. Perhaps beginning with the similarities between the functioning of the human body and the planet - rivers/waters/veins/percentage of water in human bodies, trees/air/lungs, earth/rocks/bones, sun/fire/energy/heat. As we begin to understand the similarties between universal structure and even DNA structure we begin to see the patterns of creational consciousness code and design that in holographic nature appears replicated in both microcosmic and macrocosmic form - as within, so without! As we expand our consciousness into soul and Source levels of awareness, we are able to access higher intelligence about the unified principles of light and energy that actually govern our entire reality, and our physical bodies - from macro and micro. This knowledge is the Universal knowledge of life's eternal oneness. And it can be witnessed or even felt in the simplest of moments - from within - as direct gnosis.
And in another explorative practice, we may ask, "What is the meaning of my individual expression of this oneness?". Synchronicity again comes into play as we discover - the greater questions we ask and the more we explore our intuitive promptings (even the most profound ) - the greater number of events and experiences and direct gnosis, show up in our field of experience and awareness in meaningful correlation. Thus demonstrating again the oneness between personality, soul, universe, and cosmos (Source) intelligence. And if these aspects, stations of being or identity, and associated dimensions of consciousness are intimately connected, "How and what can I create with my unique lens of this cosmic oneness consciousness... ?" Energetic magnetism, that which has as its foundations one the governing universal laws of creation - The Law of Correspondence - also commonly known as the Law of Attraction, and in addition the Law of Vibration, are some of the energetic principles at play within the experience of synchronicity. Described by terms such as "manifesting", this forms part of a deeper understanding of the power of thought and belief as forms of consciousness expression - and the creative energy they hold.
Delve a little deeper upon this journey of soul exploration and you may discover the quantum realms of life - where paradoxes abound, human context and language is primitive, and reality (such as from the unified zero-point field) is not bound by the limitations of linear time. And it is through accessing this intelligence already present within our own consciousness that greater understanding is gained of our true soul-human capabilities.
Consciousness, like a plant or flower grows from humble seeds. Take in what resonates, leave the rest, and return when you feel intuitively guided.
With love,
