There is no turning back....

It doesn't matter whether you believe that we have turned a corner in consciousness.   It does matter the decisions you make.   "The attainment of wisdom is slow and painful, and few are willing to relinquish familiar views (even if they're inaccurate);  resistance to change or growth is considerable."  (POWER VS. FORCE by David R. Hawkins, M.D., Ph.D.
However, if you make the decision, and truly intend to change there is no turning back.  

We Need our Bodies but we are Not our Body...

Have you read accounts of out of body experiences or near death experiences?
The accounts all speak of how the spirit body leaves the physical body and floats above it and even moves away from it.   They speak of moving distances and report seeing things that are at a distance from the body and, of course, in the near death experience the spirit moves away from the body and is reported to go to through the tunnel to the light to spiritual levels where eventually it is told it must go back.
The reason for speaking of these things is to illustrate how we as humans identify with the body.   This body is me, I am this person and this is my body.   The accounts tell us that the truth is closer to the idea that we identify with the body but we are not the body.  That part of us that is aware leaves the body.  When the spirit is out of the body the body basically is a thing.  It is a shell that we have sloughed off.  It is not me...
As humans we over identify with the body.  In order to function here we have to identify with our body but when we over identify with it we start thinking we are the body and the connection to our spirit and to God gets weaker.   Consciousness and awareness does not need the physical body.    We need our bodies to live on earth but it might behoove us to remember that we are not our bodies.   

The View is Never the Same...

Perhaps it was the presence of children of all backgrounds and levels of inner awareness or perhaps it was the presence outside of street people, junkies, recovering addicts, the mentally ill...  Perhaps it was simply the right time.   The consciousness expanded and these ‘others’ were seen for what they are... the children of God AND children of the earth.   It was a knowing that few individuals can be more than what they are.  Levels of consciousness must reach a point where the search for meaning and spiritual understanding have a draw that cannot be denied and where there is an attractive light at the end of some tunnel glimpsed or felt.   The choice of awareness and looking for truth is a strange mixture of longing, awareness and the grace of God.   The individual ego cannot do it alone but God does not force.
The window closed...  The children were once more fascinated, loud, earthbound.  Outside the street people lighted their cigarettes, the mentally ill listened for the voices they could no longer hear because they had been dulled by the most affordable chemical.
The view is never the same after a window of awareness opens and closes.  

Your Impact on the Consciousness of All of Humanity

The more I study and ask questions the more I am led serendipitously to more information.   And my good friend is often the catalyst of these synchronizations. 
She had seen Dr. Wayne Dyer on a Public Television special and wanted to go to a bookstore to find some of his books.   Being one who loves bookstores I went with her.  It was on that trip to the bookstore that I found a book by Dr. Dyer that has started to fill in a lot information for me.  We have been told often and I have written about how what we do affects ourselves and the world around us.  Dr. Dyer in his book, “THE POWER OF INTENTION”, introduces us to the work Dr. David Hawkins.  Dr. Hawkins is a renowned psychiatrist, physician, researcher, and pioneer in the fields of consciousness research and spirituality.  He has conducted research on how positive energy counterbalances negative energy.  Now I don’t know how he came to these conclusions and I will only touch on them here but just two examples:  “One individual who lives and vibrates to the energy of optimism and a willingness to be nonjudgmental of others will counterbalance the negativity of 90,000 individuals who calibrate at the lower weakening levels.”  and “One individual who lives and vibrates to the energy of pure love and reverence for all life will counterbalance the negativity of 750,000 individuals who calibrate at the lower weakening levels.”  Another conclusion drawn from these studies:  Because of the negativity the entire human population would self-destruct were it not for the counteracting effects of these higher energy fields.  You can read more on this information in Dr. Hawkins book “THE EYE OF THE I”.  The section title in Dr. Dyer's book was,  “Your Impact on the Consciousness of All of Humanity”.   Need I say more?

My Beliefs and My Joy...

Today a couple of quotes that speak of my beliefs and my joy:
“Each of us is a spark of consciousness in a larger, unified Consciousness, a cell in the heart of one Divine Being.”    COURAGEOUS SOULS by Robert Schwartz

“We are in the NOW moment and we can reengineer whatever we find, now and in the years to come.  We do this by creating holons--situations where opposing forces agree to cooperate with each other for mutual benefit--for the highest good of all.  And we do this by finally recognizing we are all children from the same Source, headed in the same direction, participants in the same drama.
The only real issue is love.
The only real commandment is:  Do unto others as you would have them to unto you.”
BEYOND THE INDIGO CHILDREN by P.M.H. Atwater, L.H.D.
