As We Awaken . . .

As we awaken spiritually we become more conscious and aware.  We begin to see and understand more about what is going on around us. We become more consciously “present” in the present.

As we continue to awaken we  begin the process of unifying our self, our consciousness,  with the ”rest” of the world.  We  start to heal the illusion of separation that exists between our self and the world, the world  we have believed - falsely -  to be separate, distinct and apart from us. 

Until we begin to awaken,  we are unconscious most of the time, living life inside  our “head.” For the most part, we  are lost and absorbed  in a private world of our own, our  thoughts often centering  on the past or the future.   At this stage, we are often completely unaware that everything that exists is connected. Or that everyone in the world is another “me.”  Read the rest of this entry »

 Most of us  never learned how to  have relationships based on honesty, joy,  and a commitment to both party’s in the relationship,  (any relationship) being and remaining Whole.  If we’re willingly to live more consciously, however, it’s possible to lift our relationships to a whole new satisfying and intimate level. Here are just three of the quotes from an article that will help you achieve this. 

 ”When you are co-dependent you have a secret investment in people being less than they are,  so that you will be able to get away with being less than you are.”

“Unconscious loving thrives on victim-hood.”

“One of the Universe’s strategies is to put directly before you the things you are trying to avoid.”

These are quotes from the excellent “Conscious Loving:”  an extract from a book by Gay and Kathlyn Hendricks which can be found on   www.personaltransformation.com/PDF’s/Issue2pdf

Do read it. You have nothing to lose but your dysfunctional, unconscious, dissatisfying relationships!

 Who Are You, Really? 

If you can find out who you really are on a soul level, you’ll uncover the unique being you were always intended to be,  before the world and its conditioning inflicted its wounds on you,  and made you ashamed and afraid to reveal who you really are. You’ll also discover your unique place in the overall scheme of things, because in finding your true self,  you’ll also find your unique gift, and the contribution that only you, with your unique combination of characteristics, experiences and abilities,  can offer the world. 

For this to happen,  we need to go in search of ourselves. We need to remove the layers of the false self we have spent years constructing over and around our true,  authentic self: our soul.  So deep are these layers,  and so thorough the conditioning and the wounding we have received, that sometimes just the smallest gathering of threads  of our original,  genuine identity, remain in expression.

When this  is the case,  it’s because our soul has been brutalised almost beyond recognition, so brutalised that it has withdrawn from showing itself, and fallen into deep unconsciousness,  leaving an almost empty space where a strong, confident and unique identity should be. This space, which the false self attempts to fill with a ramshackle  collection of hazy notions about who we are,  leaves us not only uncertain about our identity and place in the world,  but equally uncertain about the kind of treatment we deserve to receive from other people.  In short, we have lost our sense of who we are; we have lost our soul.  So the question we all need to ask ourselves,  is, Do I know who I really am?

Our bodies will heal more quickly and effectively of their illnesses and ailments once it’s understood that it’s actually our soul -our mind, or psyche-  that’s in need of healing.

For too long,  the medical profession has been diagnosing our physical problems  by examining our symptoms and then trying to treat those symptoms. Not enough attention has been given to the causes of our disorders, or the connection between  our physical health, our emotions and our mind,  although there is a growing recognition that some illnesses are  emotional or psychological in origin. * 

In the future,  in the “brave new world” we can bring about if we wish to,   a more enlightened understanding towards our bodies and our physical health will prevail.  Our body’s symptoms and dysfunctions will be perceived as our soul’s, or psyche’s, desperate attempts to communicate its’ pain and dis-ease to our conscious awareness. (It’s important to understand that in the case of the body we are talking about our unconscious mind:  the sleeping, trapped, feminine aspect of our soul, or psyche.) 

Our Soul Issues and Disorders.

Our physical health issues and disorders,  are,  in fact,  our soul issues and disorders. When we understand this,  and look to the pain and conflict that exists inside us, on a soul level, and work to correct and heal those ailments,  our bodies will reflect the new level of soul ease and comfort.  First, however, we need to know how our mind/soul uses our bodies  to express its’ pain and discomfort.
