Everything is Consciousness

I begin (almost) every day the same way: automatic writing, reading, and meditation. The depth of my morning spiritual practice depends on whether I have to go into the office. On the days I work from home, I have more time, so I can delve more deeply into the Spirit-realm. This was one of those mornings. I would like to take you through the process that led me to a new understanding of consciousness.

Automatic Writing: "You are growing, changing, evolving. Let it happen. Don't resist. Surrender to it. This is who you came to be. Aligned, balanced, surrendered to the Oneness of All-That-Is. Be her. Be the Oneness-in-the-flesh."

Reading: My readings typically consist of 4 decks of cards. One for theme of the reading. One for category (mind, body, spirit). One for clarification. One for details. Each card is related to the previous ones so that it forms a complete picture. One or more cards may fall out as I shuffle. I use whatever falls out.

Theme: I pulled a Soul card. The illustration was poignant, showing a red, blue, and yellow stream flowing like a river upwards from a woman's heart. I saw it as release and surrender to the Higher Consciousness. All the other cards I pull will be about releasing and surrendering to Spirit.

MIND: Simplicity and Truth. This was teaching me not to make today's lesson complicated. To keep the message simple.

Clarification:

• Purity. I am liberated and freed of baggage, attachments, and all that no longer serves me in my beliefs and thoughts. This is the essence of purity.

• Purpose, Destiny, and Metamorphosis. I have incarnated for a specific purpose and destiny of transforming into a higher form of being. This starts with my thoughts.

Details:

• 7 of Cups. Surrender to my purpose, and I will become one with it.

BODY: Standstill. I don't have to do anything but BE. Everything is about stillness. Being in the moment. Mindful. Aware.

Clarification: Journey. I am beginning a new journey. Like someone at the waystation, I am awaiting the train that will take me where I am to go.

Details: 6 of Cups. I need to be like a child full of wonder, awe, and innocence.

SPIRIT: Protection & Delight. I am divinely protected, and need to dwell in the joy, gratitude, and love that is my inheritance.

Clarification: Higher Consciousness. I am the exhaled breath of my Higher Consciousness. My role is to surrender to this identity. To know myself as the temporary vehicle through which my Higher Self experiences this reality.

Details: Ace Pentacles. I am beginning anew, with a new level of abundant awareness, abundant spirit consciousness.

Meditation: I have a place I use for meditation where I can recline and be completely at ease. As I laid back, I asked Spirit for help to understand how to surrender my thoughts, my behaviors, and soul to the Higher Consciousness. This is what I learned.

We own nothing because consciousness flows in and through all things. Everything is a manifestation of a higher consciousness. Everything. From the air we breathe, to the technology we create, to the refuse we throw out is part of this ocean of consciousness. Waves upon waves of different colors, different frequencies, and different vibrations, all originating from a Higher Consciousness into this reality as form and shape.

Not even this body belongs to me. It, too, is an extension or breath of a Higher Consciousness. Reality is part of a common field of experience. Everything flows from its Higher Source into this reality like a breath being exhaled, transformed by its experiences in the common field, then inhaled back into it's Originator. It's form returns to the one who created it (Mother Earth), but the experiences of the soul (the breath) become part of the Originating Consciousness.

In other words, we don't belong to ourselves either. We are a breath, inhabiting a form created by Mother Earth for our use. When the form is no longer needed, our Higher Consciousness breathes us back into itself. That is the nature of this reality.

Nothing belongs to us. Not even our soul. Everything is for the use and benefit of our Higher Consciousness--the one who breathed us into existence so we could experience physical life on its behalf. This is why we must surrender. This is how we surrender, by recognizing who and what we are. Recognizing how we serve. By simply being the breath.
