A friend is developing channeling and just produced the most interesting observations on awareness. This is an example of something you’d expect to read in a 1970s Growth Movement magazine covering topics equivalent to what we look at here; in this case, a developed appraisal of the process and impact of awareness.
She wrote:
Archangel Raphael: Your awareness has increased significantly. Yes, humans want the magic pill, potion, mantra, healing, to take all of the “work” out of progressing. It seems to be a human trait. Awareness is the best tool in your kit to fabricate one of these “magic” assists for yourself.
The more you are aware and take responsibility for all that you create (and you know that you create all) the more your creations are of a higher vibration And it is the creations that come from the highest vibrations that heal, bring joy, and propel you into the highest dimensions, where you seek to be.
Do everything with awareness and you will do everything you wish to do in the highest and best good for yourself and all of humankind.
There is only you, only the I AM and when you KNOW and FEEL this truth you create miracles. Spontaneous healing and perfection are possible when you KNOW it is true.
Knowing on all levels is the key. (1)
I personally really appreciate running across a passage like this that makes the point so completely clearly. Yes, knowing – awareness – on all levels is the key.
What I’m about to say is a little different than what I would have said two or three years ago.
Anything that is a divine attribute, quality, or state will have application, I assert, to all three: creation, preservation, and transformation. Otherwise it wouldn’t be a divine attribute.
Love creates, preserves, and dissolves.
Donald Trump and his team are showing us that courage creates, preserves, and transforms the situation.
I assert that awareness does the same.
Much of the difficulty in our lives stems from childhood trauma that has stuck in our craw. When we finally find someone who knows what the answer is – after prognoses and pills and programs for years – what a relief it is!
At last. Just to sit with those formerly-repressed feelings and allow our awareness to experience and dissolve them. At their own pace and in their own way. We just observe.
And they return the favor. When adequately heard, they depart.
This same awareness can liberate us – the truth can set us free from the condition. How many times have we seen this? Well, if you reach my age, you’ve seen it a lot!
We created the problem from our awareness and repressed the feelings that resulted. Now we use that same awareness to undo the damage and set us on a new path.
The very first theorem that I ever arrived at was: “Awareness varies inversely with muscular tension.” I’ve always been on the awareness path and feel most comfortable when I’m maximally aware.
Werner Erhard spoke of conscious awareness. In my jargon, I’d compare that to someone who’s had a fourth-chakra spiritual awakening. Werner’s trainings were explorations of what awareness can do for us. They’ve influenced me a great deal.
Finally, the last act in the drama of our individuality will be an act of awareness. Biyazid of Bistun captures it. Try not to hear him with the mind, but with the heart:
“I went from God to God, until they cried from me in me, ‘O thou I!'” (2)
Consciousness without an object. The Universal Subject. The One without a second.
O Thou I!
