Back to Basics Insights from the Christ Awareness
Welcome to 2008. I wasnt quite sure what would be the primary focus of this message, or even how it would be written, and given my last Newsletter Message from last September, who would be the source or inspiration. Since the Solstice the subject matter and the inspiration began to take shape, and it wasnt until today that the writing part was required.
I will begin by stating one simple piece of wisdom I picked up along time ago; forget what you know. Another one is; get back to basics. As the pendulum of polarity now appears to swing so heavily in favor of conflict and uncertainty, there may be an increasingly pervasive feeling of slipping backwards, of at least of slipping around in any direction except forward. In the unwinding of the drama and dogma of the egos grand game there are essential truths that seem to get sacrificed in the desire to achieve enlightenment and ascension (achieve is an oxymoron here).
There is also a growing cynicism about many of the promises held out to many as the way towards a greater sense of empowerment, success and massive abundance. What do you say to some folks when theyre desperate for some answers about why the Law of Attraction doesnt seem to work for them, or why they have been doing the affirmations and the inner work, and the things of everyday, physical life only seem to get more challenging and disheartening? Where are the answers for them? All the feel-good seminars, gurus, self-help books in the world wont help unless there are some basic issues faced, and basic truths understood about our natures, the nature of our subconscious minds, and the nature of pure, Christ-like awareness.
Some of the best spiritual teachings embrace the concept of non-dualism, or pure non-dualism. These concepts can be a bit deep and mystical when you are looking at them from the perspective of Mind, but essentially non-dualism is like seeing and experiencing the Truth that lies behind the forms in the world, and realizing that the Presence that all forms arise from is undivided and absolute, whereas the forms are many and relative, i.e., forms are all impermanent. A good example is yourself. You are an individual, yet that word contains a clue. Place a hyphen between indivi and dual. The prefix indivi is also found in another word, indivisible, meaning whole, or one, not able to be broken. The suffix dual on the other hand, is plainly obvious, and means two. So now you see the apparent paradox of yourself. You are both dual, or of two parts, and indivi or one part.
However, pure non-dualism is based on a path dedicated to using the mind to overcome the mind, which because of its built-in difficulties, has only resulted in a few souls approaching something close to enlightenment. Once the mind has been quieted, silence, peacefulness and an alert aliveness may be experienced as the dominant state of consciousness. For most of us another approach may be best, and that there is another way.
What does it mean to own your consciousness? It means to be in total awareness of your consciousness beyond form, the self-hypnosis of the five senses, and any conditioning (programming) youve taken on board through your life (or other lifetimes), in other words, the real You. Who is the real you? It is everything, everywhere, all at once. It is a bit difficult to express unity consciousness, but that is what the Christ Awareness (consciousness) is. The Christ is not an identity or a label. It is the absence of an identity. Now that is a scary concept to your sense of self, because the ego hates competition. In the rush to become an enlightened master we are short-circuiting ourselves. To own our consciousness is to be in complete acceptance of everything that is inherently us, while at the same time learning to accept and love what I call the inner fallen angel. We are the angels and archangels right now and we are the Masters and Christs even when we are experiencing stuff. That which is not real in ourselves, which is Fear with many faces, is also part of our Consciousness, even though that Fear is not conscious of its home within Unity.
I have known unity. It happened in January 1996, while in the shower. For a brief fifteen seconds I felt that I was not just a part of everything I was everything. During those fifteen seconds I just existed, not as pure mind, but as pure love and gratitude completely awake and aware. It was the simultaneously the most blissful and the most turbulent and emotional-filled experience I have had in this lifetime so far. I cried off and on for days.
As profound as this experience was, this experience of indivisible self, I was not equipped to cope with the aftermath in my physical, human life. In fact, having such a peak experience actually amplified the sense of limitation in the body and personality, and my mind suddenly rejected normal life. It hurt terribly to suddenly collapse back into my self after such an episode. I had a very strong second dose of this unity state when I was swimming with the dolphins of Kealakekua Bay on the Big Island of Hawaii during the Harmonic Concordance of 2003. After I returned to the mainland, I perceived the world around me as hollow and harsh in comparison to the intense expansion of a few days earlier. Even my path and calling meant little to me as I struggled to cope with the powerful emotions that were welling up in my heart and in my body. For about two months I just could not get back into any kind of enthusiasm for what I was being or doing before the encounter. Shortly after, I met Lynn, moved to Scotland, and settled into a long healing sabbatical.
With the benefit of my current perspective, Ascension, enlightenment, and many other things are now viewed with new understandings, and the primary epiphany I have had lately is that without the heart, without an uplifting sense of trust that goes beyond spiritual disciplines, practices and concepts, we ourselves are can easily become hollow, cynical entities. Mastering the mind, or losing the mind, can be liberating if it is approached in a holistic and loving way, one which includes the body and the hidden daemons of the psyche, and remains centered in the heart.
The heart is still a mystery, even within the realm of spirituality, for it defies the capacity of Mind to understand it. Ive done a little research and have discovered that our physical hearts have their own sentient intelligence. Look up the Resonance Project, and you will find the results of ground-breaking research into the bigger miracle of the heart. (http://resonanceproject.org).
Another medium for heart intelligence is through the spoken word, and in some cases, the written word. Again, some of the effects of listening to a heart-centered person will be to experience tranquillity, safety, peace. In some cases, hearing or reading words from such an awakened person can actually cause sudden understandings and deep healings to occur. Much of this depends on the listeners resonance with the person that is doing the communicating, or with the subject matter itself feeling like the truth. As Dr. Masuru Emoto (www.hado.net) has demonstrated, the power of words, and specifically words with emotion, can alter the crystalline structure of water molecules. What a graphic demonstration of the power of the heart!
The feelings of love, trust, compassion and passion are the domain of the heart, whereas the emotions generated from within the mind are fear, and all of its children-control, competitiveness, mistrust, greed, power games, etc. Wherever your focus is, the heart will organize and generate the energy into expressive fields that have the power to heal or harm.
To choose your feelings and emotions consciously can be a revolutionary way to re-order your experience of this reality called Planet Earth. If you feeling reactive, it is your mind that is dominant, and if you just take a moment to breathe and then choose again, to choose love, then you will have ceased to poison your own mind and body. Back to basics is choosing the heart and feelings over the mind and rules. Forget what you know, and choose beginners mind, and you will be choosing the wisdom of the heart, the higher Heart of Consciousness.
This Heart is the heart of the Christ Awareness. This Heart is the only re-Source we all have that is effective. Heres the best part; you dont have to do anything to have it all. All you have to do is surrender and go back to basics. If the book you are reading doesnt touch your heart or generate feelings of gratitude, joy, serenity, empowerment or laughter, you probably dont need it. If this or that philosophy, teaching or discipline is beginning to feel hollow or cold, then you dont need it. If you are trying to hard to be a perfect spiritual/human being, then you dont need that either. You already own your own Consciousness, so how can you even own it again? Just be it, and allow of it to just be what it Is. You cant improve on that, or add anything else to it. Its back to basics. Experience it all without resisting. Choose it all without fearing. Live it all with love.
So be it.
Peace, Isaac
