Spiritual Consciousness, the awakening of
ones higher
consciousness was taught by the masters as a
possibility
for all.
To awaken or not to awaken, that is the
question, whether it is nobler to
become totally responsible or to remain in
the darkness forever is the
sirens song. A note of caution and
clarification is in order for all who are
contemplating committing to a full awakening
of their spirit. When and if
you Get It, there is nothing you can do with
it except pass it on to others.
When and if one gets the Knowing a new peace
and a whole new
understanding of self, others, God/Creator
and of one's whole purpose of
existing usually occurs.
If
it sounds like there is no downside there
isn't unless one refuses to relinquish one's
ego and will in the process. If a person
persists in attempting to control their
unfoldment they will most likely experience
more torment than they already had. Only by
the complete surrendering and allowing the
full knowing will one ever stop questioning
and arguing the process.
I will not attempt to tell anyone here how
to go about the awakening
process but only to relay my personal
experiences of two occurrences.
Mine are Christ related as my teacher and
guide, as others may envision
their own teachers or masters it is assumed
that any individuals experience to be an
exact parallel and one as valid as any
other.
To
structure some semblance of realistic
perspective to these events my religious
background must be also disclosed. I began
reading at a very early age and among some
of my interests was the Bible, especially
all the words in red print, I interpreted
them as being very good concepts to live
by.
Coming
from a home of good people who really didn't
need any outside help in running their lives
and myself being the curious person I am, I
decided to explore this church thing
somewhat. It will suffice to say that what
was in The Book bore no resemblance to what
was being served in the local places of
worship. The Book spoke of Love, kindness,
compassion and understanding while what was
being Preached seemed to be filled with
fear, judgment, shame, guilt, anger, hate
and a never ending stream of obvious
attempts at brain washing and mind control.
I chose to follow what was written instead
of what was being spoken.
My
general approach to life came very naturally
and conformed to that of most good hearted
right thinking individuals and was full
enough for me. The supremely higher aspects
seemed reserved only for those Chosen Ones
from the past with no real examples
currently existing in the twentieth century.
The first experience was during a super
lucid dream where I found myself
standing next to a small running stream of
water in a rocky place, a man
appearing much as many have depicted as
Christ who approached from the other side.
In His presence I recognized Him and said
that I was ready to go with him, with a
glance behind me I saw the Earth clearly in
the distance the size of a tennis ball at
arms length and felt a deep regret at the
thought of leaving the ones I cared for. The
knowing that they also would be coming
before long eased all apprehension and made
my decision to leave now much easier.
As
soon as I turned back to step across the
stream a tremendous cloud appeared and
trailed off to infinity, from the cloud came
the feeling of what we refer to as Love. As
many others who have experienced this I also
am at a complete loss attempting to describe
its' intensity. The words were spoken,
" I just wanted you to know it was
here, you have work yet to do.".
During an afternoon rest break while first
working publicly with the Table, I
laid down to relax a tired back. After about
ten minutes I decided to get up
and then lay back down again. I suddenly
lapsed into the complete
consciousness of another being, it is still
virtually impossible to
comprehend much less describe one's complete
consciousness and
mentality being set aside and replaced with
that of another person.
The
beings consciousness that was experienced
was that of the personage which is known and
referred to as Jesus, complete in all the
knowing, feelings and love attributed to
him. During several minutes there was no
trace of my own identity present only that
of His. Leading into the
experience was the single thought of
wondering why my arms were hurting
so bad and so long from some heavy
construction six months before, as I
laid back, the thought, "No wonder they
are hurting so bad I'm nailed to a
cross.". At this instant is where the
complete transition occurred, the
knowing that death was near, the asking
where my Father is now, the
feeling of being abandoned and then feeling
the Love connecting and
beginning to ascend, during the ascension
was where a slender thread
unraveled pulling the Me back to this
reality.
There
were several minutes of extreme physical
convulsions that followed and about fifteen
minutes grounding back to my own reality.
The entire experience was as others must
have attempted to describe as well as what
Christ tried to describe what happened to
him on the occasion where he became
conscious of his creator and indeed that He
and Him were indeed one in the same.
Some
of the gifts received from the experience
was an intense heat within my spiritual
center that was almost too much to bear at
times, the ability to
communicate with all things on many
different levels, the ability to see
beyond the ordinary abilities of human sight
among many others. The one
imperative that was very apparent, these
newly acquired gifts were given
for understanding and to be used only to
help others.
The masters also taught that it was the
individuals choice as to whether to awaken
or not.
