The Battle of Consciousness!

What determines one's place in the continuum of thought, know to us as consciousness? Is it how one contemplates their own mortality, their own existence; how one interacts with fellow travelers of awareness; is it their intellectual prowess; or, is it how one simply expresses their own inner place, their inner self? Quite an interesting question, to say the least! To be aware of oneself in all that transpires within the global matrix is I suppose, the challenge being placed before us. Now, it is really easy to identify with a group or community, in defining oneself or one's place, yet does this really give a true picture of one's consciousness? 

This past Sunday, I was actively working for the world of Spirit as a Lecturer, as well as Message giver, at two different churches. Now as I express my Mediumship, I practice a form of surrender, in that, as I am standing before the congregation I am then led to a writing found within my book, "A Journey With The Total Self", which sets the theme for the lecture.

I then express the lecture, or rather, those who work with, through, and for me as my teachers, impress upon my consciousness thoughts to be expressed. Finally, I am led to a second writing, which is intended to sum up the thoughts of the lecture. 

The first church I went to in the morning, was spoken to about the age old concept of Love as I read, "Proclaimed of Love". 

The overall message found within this writing, is to give unto yourself and others, a true and authentic expression of Love. To say the word does not implying a deep heartfelt expression of what the word intends. To claim unity of thought and emotion, is to claim unity of intent, a single impetus of energy or thought creation, which in turn is aligned with the highest of Creators. This alignment of one's soul, with the vibration of what we refer to as God, is the truest form and or expression of Love. When this alignment occurs and Love is expressed from this place, then the word (Love) ceases to exist. 

What one is left with is the intent of God which is felt, and no amount of words would be able to describe this intent in its totality, so why even bother! 

To be in this state of consciousness, this alignment,  takes tremendous inner work, and this inner work is certainly not for the faint of heart. To face all truths of oneself, of one's family, of one's community, one's society, one's God or perceptions thereof, can be a very daunting endeavor. 

Yet in our process of involution and then evolution, it is fair to suggest that Love, is full of wonderment, pitfalls, expectations, joy, tears, laughter, conflict, amazement, exploration, and hopefully acceptance! These show us where we are, or are not!!!

To say that someone like Buddha, Loved all things or beings as he was conceived, and or came into physical being, would be a bit of an illusion, and really denying the fact that he was a human being engaged in his process of more Light & Love, or should I say, more awareness of Self! It of course is true of all those we claim to be spiritual teachers or masters. 

So, it is also fair to suggest that Love expressed through your being, represents an understanding, or is a reflection of your evolution, your state of being within the moment. To express one's inner place, is to constantly be in this flux of vulnerability, a place of openness, an openness to give and then receive. 

Well, if it were only that easy!!! We all know, if we are honest with ourselves, that to give of Love in every moment is quite challenging, and to Love all things and or beings as a Buddha, or Christ, or any other perceived master did, is quite the lofty goal!

Just recently here in Toronto, a little girl was abducted from her school, tortured, and then murdered. The assailants, a man and a woman, were captured after approximately 4-6 weeks of searching. Here is the challenge placed before the congregation that I lectured in front of: Where is your state of Love, state of consciousness? Can you give of Love to these two individuals who are begotten of Love as you are, from the Creator of all things, or will you judge and condemn them? 

Quite the challenge!!

The second church I lectured at that day, was read the same writing, "Proclaimed of Love",  and of course to my astonishment, the lecture was quite different, as I record each lecture, yet the same challenge was presented. Both lectures were concluded with this writing, "Law of Enfoldment", which exerts the premiss that all souls follow the same laws of spirituality, despite our perceptions or judgements. The process towards more Love is filled with trust and faith in your inner being, the place of God.

As one has more of faith and trust, the alignment of the Self with the intent of God, is stronger! This in turn demonstrates further our true state, our authentic place along the continuum of thought, for after-all Love is an agreement of thought towards goodness!

Love is a process, enjoy all that it has to offer, and do not judge, or at least try not to!! 

This is our most formidable battle, to LOVE ourselves and others, the true battle of consciousness!!
