Consciousness and Awareness Articles

James 4:14 whereas you do not know what will happen tomorrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away. The older I get the more I realize how precious and valuable my time is. Time is something we only have once, so we have to make good use of it. We only have so many days to do what we have been given to do here on the Earth, and I want my days to count. I think most people would say the same thing if asked, but are th

We are here as one, united by the consciousness of who we are. For who we are is the consciousness of our creator. Our creator who desires that we learn and grow to evolve who we are and who we are to become. The love and the light of the universe, the love and the light that is part of you all. This is your creation. This is your essence. Feel the pure bliss when you acknowledge that this is who you are. The light is within you. There is never a moment that you are not love and light.

Everything about this physical life that you now lead is experienced from the standpoint of your physical body. If you have suffered from a physical ailment, you already know that when your body is in a state of illness, it reflects out into all aspects of your mind. What is overlooked in society today is that the reverse is also true. When your mind is in a state of illness, it reflects its self out into all aspects of your body.

The 2012 enlightenment gateway is upon us. Many are beginning to feel on an energetic level the deeper awakening of consciousness that is occurring. As we continue to move towards December 2012 and beyond, the hearts of humanity are going through an ascension process, an energetic shift from separation to an inner knowing of oneness and a sense of unity consciousness that will raise the vibration of this planet into its next evolution. This evolution is occurring on a planet

I've been experimenting with brainwave entrainment (bwe for short) off and on since 2006. For about a year I followed the Holosync program regularly and then I moved on to a self-guided program called Neuroprogrammer. The purpose of this article is not to argue the merits or demerits of any brainwave entrainment program, but to hopefully shed some light on what happens during a bwe session.

Any time we make a decision, especially one that involves inner changes, our own resistance shows up to try to deter us from taking action. It’s the inertial energy or the “ghost of the-way-things-were” before we made the decision to change or to move in a different direction. And it manifests as opposition from others, obstacles, delays, sudden life drama, or anything that seems to be “out of our control,” and clearly distracting us from what we’re supposed to do to follow through with our decision.

Have you ever had a situation that you considered an obstacle? Have you felt like all the cards were stacked against you? Have you ever beat the odds in a situation?

What will it take to get you to take massive action towards your goals, dreams and desires? On a recent call with a mentor of mine, I asked him; If you could put the thousands of men that you have worked throughout your career in one room, what would be the number one challenge these men have in common? He said, "Oh that's an easy one...Follow Through!" He went on to elaborate that men are great starters but very poor finishers. Does this resonate with you?

Schools are coming to the end of their school year and the time for family barbeques, weekend get-a-ways and family vacations are very much upon us. We work hard all year long, raising our families, taking care of them, doing our jobs both in and out of the home as well as within our own communities. Everyone needs a break to refresh and renew themselves. If we don't, we're no good to anyone else now are we?

Within you is the power to heal and transform any obstacle or illness, however, to do so means that one must put into question their perception and belief about not only the situation, but themselves too! Often, this is where people give up because it feels like they are going against the grain — yet, truth is your current belief of yourself and any situation may be the true force going against the grain. Think for a moment, upon coming into this realm, “Who were you??” “What was your name?” “What did you believe or not believe?’

Learning to be present in my life—to simply enjoy this moment, right now, with no thought of the next moment—didn’t happen quickly for me. So if you are discouraged by your own progress, take heart. I can tell you that today I dwell each and every moment in the now, experiencing an enduring inner peace that makes it pure enjoyment to be me. There is nothing about my being that I doubt anymore, nothing I wish would do a disappearing act. I don't mea I'm flawless, just that I totally accept myself as a person in progress of emerging into my fullness.

When we experience something truly beautiful, it can open-up the universe and allow grace to bathe us in Her sweet embrace. Whether it be an incredibly gorgeous landscape, the smell of a rose in full bloom, an exquisite piece of music, or a delicious mouth-watering bite, when the senses are titillated and deeply experienced, we create a portal to commune with our true essence. That essence is pure, radiant and divine. Picture this: You are walking at sunset at on a long stret

People frequently talk about living an authentic life but I think that few know what that actually means. And there are others who truly believe that they are living authentically. But when we take a deeper look at how we react to certain situations and the feelings that are behind them we might see that we are not as authentic as we think.

You have no doubt heard of the “law of attraction.” Literally millions of people are trying to attract to themselves things they want, especially greater financial prosperity. The books that teach these concepts have been a phenomenal publishing success, but that some are concluding isn’t perhaps of much value when it comes to living in the power of now, you may be wondering why you haven’t yet manifested in your own life the things you would like to manifest.

I so love going to a concert and listening to the orchestra. I find myself so swept away by the beauty of it all. It amazes me how all the parts come together to produce the work of art we get to experience with our own ears. When watching a play, I can achieve that same feeling. All the separate parts coming together to put forth this masterpiece right before my eyes. When I’m out in nature, it’s the same thing. Just taking in the wondrous view around me can take my breath away. These are just a few of the activities that promote blissful feelings within me.

Experiences are the moments that weave the fabric of our lives. Often, the fabric’s value comes from that which is observed as unique in that it silently relays the energy inherent in the experiences and beauty of what the artisan sees and weaves into every stitch. Your life, your personal “fabric” should reflect and celebrate your own journey. Which path are you following? Does it reflect your true nature and sense of beauty? Taking the time to explore yourself and how you i

Generally, we have too much attachment to our problems. We are hypnotized by what we are not.

Passion is the very substance of our grandest visions. It is not easy to find a comfortable home in our daily, civilized, disciplined and organized world for passion’s vibrant and intense existence. Our culture can certainly be prudent to control and contain, with watchful and sensible eyes, the spontaneous, sometimes unrefined nature of potent energies such as passion. These are the qualities of our being reflecting the most profound and powerful aspects of inner nature and inherent responses.

This is in honor of Haiti and her beautiful people. It is about a very special woman whom I met once, but was able to imprint her essence on my soul. Shortly after the birth of my daughter, I made my first trip to Haiti so my husband could introduce his wife and child to his family. The absolute warmth and sincerity which enveloped us, not just by his family and friends but even strangers, was overwhelming. My first impression of a Haitian's fundamental nature was a sincere s

“We are all on our own path, and exactly where we need to be. The labyrinth is a model of that path for it is an ancient symbol that relates to wholeness. It combines the imagery of the circle and the spiral into a meandering but purposeful path. Walking a labyrinth represents a journey to our own center and back again out into the world.” www.lessons4living.com/labyrinth.htm

What a strange question to pose… When are you, not you? When the time is taken to really ponder this simple question, all kinds of ideas might surface. “I’m not really me when I am working a job I hate”, I’m not really me when I go home to spouse I don’t love (anymore)”, I’m not really me when I agree to helping a friend, who’s better off helping themselves”, I’m not really me when I lose control over my children –or- a bad habit – or a bad relationship”.

The purpose of life is to live it. To be immersed in that which we call “experience” to such a degree that we may know what it is that we truly want. And because we are the furthest most ripple of that which we call source or god, when we reach out eagerly and without fear for that newer and richer experience, we carry source with us into that new place. And thus… the inevitable byproduct of life in the physical dimension is the evolution of all that is. The answer could end there.

This is the world as I see it: 1) People are usually kind and supportive, and have good intentions, even it does not seem that way. 2) The universe always sends people and situations to us for our soul growth. 3) Once we know what we want, the universe will give us 100% support by sending you resources in the form of books, emails, people, casual conversations, TV programs, radio programs, cheques, lottery winnings, etc. 4) When we keep an open mind, we allow into our lif

I bet you're asking "How can I focus on the solution when I don't know what the solution is? I have this problem, how the heck am I supposed to feel good?" It's not always easy to make that shift from feeling negativity to feeling more positive but you cannot see the solution while in the depths of the problem. When you are so focused on the problem, your vibration is on the problem. The solution could be right in front of you but you CANNOT see it because you're not in vibrational harmony with it. You must shift your vibration so that the solution can come into your focus.

Many different feelings and emotions come in human life, many different types of experiences. And some of them are very painful, very difficult. And difficult experiences can be unique to you, or you can be part of a collective Karma, where those experiences involve a whole group of people.

YOU CAN’T FORCE AN APPLE TO GROW By Dr. Dennis Merrit Jonesnn“Make a commitment to follow the path of no resistance. This is the path through which nature’s intelligence unfolds spontaneously, without friction or effort. When you have the exquisite combination of acceptance, responsibility and ...

Daily Spiritual Insight from the Story of The Little Prince The Little Prince is going to trigger a massive change in the life of the pilot who has crashed in the desert. He will accompany the pilot on an inner journey that will totally transform how he understands himself, how he feels about himself. But first the Little Prince is getting a clear picture of what inauthentic humans look like—what the false self that’s the ego produces as a sham version of humanity.

Matter cannot be created nor destroyed as long as matter is the materialization of Conscious thoughts–the inevitable outcome of Consciousness. The materialization of the density–mass–weight–shape–structure–form–space–time, and the functioning of conceived thoughts by Consciousnesses. The power of the immaterial–massless–formless–timeless Consciousness. And Consciousness is synonymous with persona, Image–Character–Personality–Self–Identity. Consciousness is not created, it is extended or contracted. What is Man What is man, but a spirit. In a state of finite awareness:r

As more and more people are beginning to awaken and rub the crust out of their sleepy eyes, they are beginning to question the new ways in which they are experiencing life. Their lives may feel shockingly different as old habits, relationships, and even ways of relating to life shift dramatically. Most of humanity by this point in time have had glimpses of awakening. They have experienced moments of clarity and remembrance of the inner self and of the ultimate reality. Sometimes this sharply contrasts with what we have been taught to believe.

Forgiveness has been around for thousands of years. It is mentioned and/or discussed in sacred writings of many religions. So it is well grounded in the realm of spiritual teachings. Up until recently, the fact that forgiveness was a tenet of religion was enough for most people. One forgave because religions advocated forgiveness or it was the spiritual thing to do.

Korean language, as we all know, has become so popular around the world in spite of English, Chinese and Spanish. Why is it so important for you to learn this language? Korean's economy is booming today, expecially in electronics and TV series on love. I suppose you can meet Samsung eletronical products all over the world and you can also watch all kinds of TV series on love everywhere too. Thus they prove that learning Korean is so important that you cannot ignore. But in fa

So ya wanna save the world…… Well, we’re definitely living in a world that needs saving…..but…..the world, our Universal Family members making up this world, aren’t so keen on CHANGE, FEAR has them gripped by the throats, like the big bad wolf in “Little Red Riding Hood”, and though they beg and cry for their salvation, they cling like spiders to the web of imprisoned illusion, they have grown accustomed to. We ALL KNOW the government is corrupt, the legal system lacks justice, and inequality reigns supreme.

How you tell the story of your life seems to be a common message but it's a vital message that bears repeating and repeating often. When your health is not what you want it to be, it's so easy to allow yourself to slip into speaking of how horrible you feel but to attract the wellness you so desperately desire, you must stop speaking of how awful you feel!

Forgiveness is a topic that is spoken about often, but very difficult to truly understand. I recently have encountered a situation where someone I love has been treating me differently, treating me without respect and with a very cold shoulder. I believe I understand where a lot of it is stemming from as we had a difficult conversation about some things a few weeks ago. But as the cold shoulder treatment and some outright painful and confusing remarks have been made to me, I

Clarity is the ability to see reality from many perspectives. Reality becomes single-minded when one views everything from just their perspective. One’s perspective is the very truth one holds about self and all that self has experienced in this lifetime. Every perspective is unique even though a perspective can be shared and agreed upon among others that support similar thinking. WE say “similar” as even though some elements may be the same, the whole could never be the same. There will always be differences due to the uniqueness of one’s personal truths.

Ahimsa, the principle of non-injury or non-violence. It literally means to not harm and is the first and most basic of five actions to avoid outlined in the Yama’s.

The following question has been asked by countless individuals: Is man innately good or evil? My life experience has shown me that man is innately love—good, but easily overcome with fear—evil. This fear is an “evil” of our minds, an ill that causes all of our self-destructive behaviors that steer us away from love.

We are becoming a totally transformed evolved Being. Different from the step-by-step practices and processes that keep us spinning in our denials, the accelerated pace at which we are moving today it is a leap into transformation that is called the Quantum Leap of consciousness. There are many different takes on just what or who is at the base of this and as we remain open to following our heart we will come to know. The wonder of life is that whether we wish it or not, we co

Writing to the Corinthians, St. Paul corrected the way they were participating in what we today know, depending on our particular tradition, as the Mass, Eucharist, Communion, or the Lord’s Supper. “When the time comes to eat, each of you goes ahead with your own supper, and one goes hungry and another becomes drunk,” he complained. In those days the bread and wine were standard parts of a meal. The people came together on Sunday evenings to enjoy a potluck in which everyone was supposed to eat well and have plenty to drink.

Those who choose ignorance, in actuality, willingly choose unawareness. What you are unaware of is outside of your power of influence. Ignorance, therefore is bliss, BUT only for those who keep you ignorant (=unaware), not for you. Below is a widely accepted and applied across the entire planet process of making people ignorant, i.e., unaware of their own entrapment or psychological enslavement which makes any other enslavement possible. Without further ado here is how it is

If that title has the ring of a typical fitness course to it, there’s a good reason. There are a lot of similarities between mental fitness and physical fitness. A mind burdened with useless attitudes is as unhealthy as a body blanketed with layers of fat. And wouldn’t you know, just like there are guaranteed prescriptions for bodily fitness, there are indeed several foolproof prescriptions for mental fitness. It’s two of those mental fitness prescriptions that I am going to touch upon now. They are uncannily similar to certain prescriptions for physical fitness. You’ll see…

Waking Dreamsr Most of the time we think of dreams as something we experience at night or a flight of fancy we experience during the day as a wishful thought for our lives. Consider the possibility that this is really backwards. What if your life is really the dream? What if you are dreaming your life, creating your life through your dreams? If your dreams are simply random, unstructured and unintended, than truly your life is waiting to be dreamed. To be dreamed vividly with

What was once unimaginable beyond the fantasies of fiction, outside of the creatively scary blockbuster movies, soon became a real-life scenario that none were prepared for. As the powers that be spoon fed us the diagnosis day-by-day, so we could digest each bite, adapting to the ever changing circumstances; knowing what the end game would be, but not wanting to cause panic. We sat, panic stricken, wondering what would happen next? As though by poetically divine design, we b

"The problem is not the problem. The problem is your attitude about the problem. Do you understand?” -Captain Jack Sparrow Have you ever been really excited and passionate while contemplating a big life change, or something new for yourself in general? How often are your considerations met with instant internal arguing? What about when you KNOW something is the right choice, but you still have a very hard time getting to a place where you can comfortably start taking action

Daily Insight from the Story of The Little Prince Whenever we are caught out, such as being found making an egoic statement we can’t back up, we have a tendency to deflect the fact we've been caught out onto the person who caught us. Until we are firmly grounded in consciousness, the state of presence that's our true being, it’s just not that easy for us to come clean and simply state, “I shifted into my ego. My true being doesn’t believe what I just said at all.”

Do you listen to when source is calling you; or do you kick, resist, and fuss over the path laid at your feet? So many people will automatically answer YES, if you ask them if they want greater abundance in their life. They will say that they want it all; and many pay thousands of dollars a year trying to find the magical fix that is going to make them rich ove ight. They race and race and race to gain so much of what is in the material world. People will tell you give me health, happiness, money, relationships.

I had another very good demonstration recently of how the Universe rewards us for our trust and belief that we are always looked after and our needs are always met. The past couple of months have been a time of renewal for me. My life as I knew it has changed out of all recognition, but it's a good change. It wasn't ...

What do you do when you love more than one person in your life, but they are at odds with each other, and you find yourself torn between them? It's a pretty common scenario. For one reason or another, a daughter or son doesn't approve of who you, as a divorced person, are dating. A mother or father doesn't approve of the person you intend to marry. You colleagues at work, or your friends, don't like the person you are living with.
