Pick a Consciousness.. Any Consciousness!

Do you know that you have a choice to pick a consciousness at all? If so, how often do you think about it. We live in a world full of consciousness' always present around us, and is just a thought away! To prove this.... just think of something, some event or some person that makes you angry for a moment..........................
After doing that I'm sure you felt the consciousness of anger within you and possibly around you. Now.. think of something, an event, or someone loving,..................
can you feel that consciousness?


Each and every consciousness has its own energy and is an "entity" in itself... that we have the choice to feed into with our own emotional, thought, physicl and spiritual energies. I personally veiw these awareness' or consciousness to be of cloudlike substance, hovering around and above us at all times. Love would be pink and light and fuzzy, hate/anger would be heavy and dark and sludgy. Perhaps you can imagine your own consciousness in it's shape, form and consistancy. It can be fun to discover how you see/experience them yourself.

Consciousness has been growing and evolving since the dawn of life itself.. We have been created from and through consciousness. The Earth has a consciousness, trees have a consciousness, stones, animals.. all living beings have a consciousness that they share within the whole ultimately participating in the purose of our evolution. Each and every living being is a universe unto itself. Each sentient life has the power to interact and project various consciousness that communicates the current reality of the being. In short... what you believe to be true about you and the world.. about anything..is the consciousness that you not only "buy" into with your emotional, mental, spiritual, and physical energies... but also feed into as well. As you own more and more of any given consciousness, you attract others in like! You will draw poeple into your life that share a similar consciousness, and most times their presence helps you to get stuck in an old consciousness as those very people keep reconfirming the belief in it, YOUR belief in it. Birds of a feather and all that. Long term this could be a good thing or but also a bad thing depending on the consciousness.

If you believe that Love is the higher Law, and it is your strongest belief... you are most likely involved in a lot of loving interactions... you unconsciously as well as consciously seek them out and also project this from you.. and at the same time you are feeding/supporting that consciousness of love that is in the world. The consciousness of love gets bigger and bigger as time goes by and IS available to all that buy into it, whenever they choose to, consciously or unconsciously. Prayer is a powerful example of feeding into a consciousness, and what you feed into you also recieve from. The more you feed into a specific consciousness the more you carry that consciousness and its energy.

Even though you buy and support the love consciousness most of the time, this doesn't protect you fully from other consciousness' like its polar opposite hate/anger. This is where you get to exercise free will "choice" to buy into any consciousness. Think about it, if you are experiencing a bad day (participating in the consciousness of anger) and someone crosses your path presenting you with the opportunity to focus on "love consciousness", you have a choice at that moment to switch into that consciousness or not, It is your choice! There are no scapegoats here to make you do or not do anything, it all comes down to your right to free will choice. You choose to or not to participate your energy in whichever consciousness at every moment of your life.

Today you have been given the opportunity to be more aware of consciousness. Today you co-create your future days. Today you may be holding onto some old consciousness' that don't serve your needs of today. The beauty of conscious buying of new consciousness... is that it's just a thought away.

Think about something you wish to create in your life, and then think of the consciousness that would support that creation. Test the consciousness out by imagining what it would look like, feel like. Think of the people who already carry that consciousness and surround yourself with those people, new people. This may feel uncomfortable at first because it will be something new to your "old way consciousness" but it's worth exploring if not only for the sake of seeking out your potential to "be".

You will be surprised at how quickly you begin to assimilate to that consciousness and own it in a comfortable way within your own daily stride. If you linger too long in the consciousness of your past, you create more of the same. You already know how it works, and unfortunately people tend to stick to what works.. even if it's painful, they know the route well and what to expect on that path. But I challenge you today... to open up your mind and experiment with at least one new consciousness. It won't be long before you see the proof of that consciousness, the evidence of its existence in the world... and how it feels to try on and carry the goodness of it!
