Energy Consciousness

Today we'll discuss some
fundamental ways of working with energy in a consciousness way. Let's
take a moment to step back and address the subject of consciousness.
So, why is it such a big deal? Everyone is using the word
'consciousness' to describe, label or quantify things or beings. What
does it really mean? To be conscious is to have an awareness.
Consciousness enables all things and beings to be conscious
of what or who they are. It has no beginning, no end. The meaning
extends beyond human comprehension. It cannot be measured: it is
limitless.
We are continually
discovering different ways of working or accessing energy. Although
some may call it a 'consciousness,' we now understand at some very basic
level how easy it is to access, work with and change this energy. You
require no special ability to do this. The only tools needed are an
open mind and an open heart. This is something that every living being
on this planet is structured to do.
INTENTION
Intention is defined as an aim or purpose coupled with a determination
to produce a desired outcome. It is an energy or force that we all tap
into. It has been there since the beginning, since the fall from grace
and before.
Intention is how we delineate
the past from the present. We delineate through a process of being in
the moment. Being one. It is accessed in very subtle ways. We may be
conscious or unconscious of the intentions we set out, but at this point
in the history of the planet we all need to step up and become much more
mindful of our intentions. This allows us to live choice-full and
impact-full lives.
While for centuries and more
we have been creating similar scenarios, we have now hit a powerful crux
and must start charting new directions. Intention can help us bravely
set new courses to venture into the future: we have the potential, the
capacity, and the ability. It is time for humanity to begin again. We
have knowledge. We have awareness. More and more we awaken to what
lies within us.
INTUITION
Intuition is a process that leads us to the truth and its purest form
allows us to access the truth. The problem is there are so few
available on the planet able to access intuition in its purest form.
Does this mean that we are unable to access intuition? Or because we're
able to access, but in a slightly diminished way, it renders the
information meaningless? The answer is NO.
Intuition is a way of knowing
or accessing information from outside ourselves allowing us to expand
the depth of our normal sensory perception. Allow things to unfold and
trust in the process and the higher knowledge being offered to you. You
need not always know the how's and why's. Tapping into intuition gives
you the ability learn and discover more about people, your environment,
the energy of your world... and even, new worlds.
Remember, it's not a race and
it's not a competition. Start where you are. It need not matter if
you're a beginner or further along because in the end you'll both get to
where you need to be.
By using intuition you expand
your ability to sense energy. You enlist all of the six known senses as
well as senses yet to be named. Intuition is a venue or springboard
that can allow you to do the cosmic exploration or research that many
are craving. It allows you to move into territories that may not be
mapped out. As you work with the energy from a higher peak, your
viewpoint becomes panoramic.
Like cave explorers who love
to delve into those dark and murky corners finding new territories and
new discoveries, so it can be for some of the explorers, pioneers and
visionaries on this planet. You never know what you are going to find
and you may uncover extraordinary information.
There is a bounty of good
information pouring onto the planet, yet we must not lose sight that in
some cases it can run the gamut from unstable information to pure
conscious thought. Since we all reside at different points on the
spectrum, we are all affected to varying degrees of undue influence by
our past or present unresolved human issues. We as beings on this
planet, are put on call to use a tool that is sometimes sorely
underused: this tool is called discernment. We will go into this in
depth, but at a later time.
ENERGY
Everything begins as energy and we work with or access this energy
through a process of using intention and our intuition. Energy runs
seamlessly through our lives. It cycles through man, animal, nature...
impacting every life force on the planet.
There is a part of you that
recognizes, identifies, and decodes everything you see and feel whether
you consciously realize this or not. This part, which for the sake of
this dialogue we'll refer to as your 'decoder,' enables you to
continuously translate information from this and other planes. You do
not have to be consciously 'tuned in' in order for these protocols to
take place.
As we continue harvesting
this wealth of knowledge, we must acknowledge that what one does affects
the whole. It is not just for the few but is available for all. If one
knows, we can all know. This is commonly referred to as 'caught
information' not 'taught information.' This is a huge power source that
up to now has been largely ignored.
Energy permeates the planet.
It is in us and all around us. By directing your life in a more
mindful, conscious manner you discover a power surge... a raw power you
never knew had existed. You can work with this energy in an empowering
way and make beneficial changes in your life, relationships, health,
impact on the environment, the planet and the whole system. You've set
out the intention to change non-beneficial energy into positive
energy.
An example is perceiving your
boss as an adversary or enemy. Shift this paradigm by changing your
view of 'your boss' to one of an equal who evaluates and assigns you
work. Instead of wrestling in a major power struggle, why not
renegotiate the contract or parameters on an energetic level. Do you
verbally need to approach you boss and tell him that he's your equal?
In many situations I would deem it unwise, and quite honestly
unnecessary. The exchange we're discussing here is simply an energetic
one.
It's important for your to
approach any situation, not from a position of submission or
superiority, but always as an equal. Whenever the energy becomes out of
balance or discordant, gently remind yourself to move into that 'equal
position.' It will, in time, become almost a place of
neutrality for you. Step into the space and become a modern day
alchemist where you tap into your own inner strength and focus, allowing
yourself to step aside from the ego driven façade that many frequently
wear.
To change the energy you need
only set out the intention. You change your thoughts by changing the
energy. Energy ALWAYS follows intention. It is a fairly simple process
to step up, work with and transmute the energy. You've made the
decision to consciously work with it; your intention is to direct and
change non-beneficial energy into positive energy.
WHAT
NEXT
The lifesaver that we are seeking will not be coming externally. The
answer is residing within each of us. The questions that we struggle
with are on how to uncover our power, learning and discovering our own
personal aptitude for becoming life saviours.
We've all come to the planet
at this time for very specific reasons. Our planet is in crisis, at
times it's almost as if the planet is weeping. It is a very unstable
time. There are wars, conflicts, atrocities, famine, floods,
environmental issues we've never seen before, disease, anger, hatred and
I could go on and on. All are rocking through the planet right now:
impacting our past, our present and our future. We have within us the
power to effect change, not tomorrow, not next week, but right now.
