Who Are We?

During the course of everyday events we often forget the role of thoughts in the forging of our material reality. We get lost in the visible symbols, the material by-products of our imaginations, forgetting the invisible blueprints from which they, and we, emerge. (From: We Create Our Own Reality)

Science tells us that Consciousness arises from matter but without the mix of awareness and energy (the ability to sense, create, act and react to ourselves and our surroundings), how can anything exist, let alone survive, beyond the smallest unit of time? Without Consciousness (Aware Energy or Energetic Awareness) to construct and perceive them, how can values like time, space, matter and experience exist? Out of a genuine need to pay attention to our biological experience, we’ve become ego-bound or over-identified with material existence. We’ve learned to ignore our inner processes of thought, emotion, dreams and imagination. We’ve swept waking knowledge of our spiritual origin under the rug of material reality. In other words, the universe is alive, and always has been!

For more on this, read A New Story of Origin.

We are thought processors as well as thought in action, which makes us both one AND separate. Not only are we the products of creation; we are creation itself! As complex gestalts of Energetic Awareness (entities), we use less complex thought forms as building blocks to create the reality we then experience. As we think, we create. Change what we think and we change what we create! “God” does not simply exist outside us; each one of us, every “thing”, is a unique, individualized expression - another face of “God”!

What are your thoughts on these assertions? Do you think they hold any water? Based on personal experience from a life of curiosity, openness and experimentation, which includes live discussions with others and reading books concerning these matters, this interpretation of who we are and what reality is, is what makes the most sense to me. The examples below represent a variety of experiences I’ve had over the years that seem to back up the notion that Consciousness (Aware Energy) is the source and substance of All That Is. While subjective experiences like these cannot be duplicated, the inner senses and intuitive abilities that allow us to have them are the same and can be tested, examined and compared. They are the same senses we use for Remote Viewing, Out of Body experiences, telepathic communication, dreaming and imagination. What greater authority is there than our own experience, providing we keep an open heart and an open mind?

  • Encounter With Unconditional Love. This experience was two years in the making. In a moment of total frustration while sitting at my desk at home alone, I threw my arms into the air and asked the universe, What do I want more than anything else in All That is? In response to my question, a disembodied male voice, about six inches in front of my forehead said, “Love!” Despite the strange circumstances, I knew it was true and I immediately confirmed it by shouting, That’s right, all I ever wanted was to love and be loved unconditionally. Two years later my desire became reality. This experience demonstrates the power of imagination and the multidimensional nature of “reality”.
  • The “Suckface” Incident. After conducting a Guided Imagery exercise (some call it Guided Meditation) at a friends house in South San Francisco, I felt spiritually sensitive and on my drive home (San Francisco at the time), I encountered two men on a motorcycle heading the same way. Our eventful journey describes my side of the experience and illustrates how our inner and outer senses can work together to empower us in ways we have yet to understand.
  • The Ball of Light – A Dream About the Nature of Consciousness and Being. While Encounter With the Energy of Unconditional Love and The “Suckface” Incident occurred during waking hours, The Ball of Light… occurred as a lucid dream. In other words, I was awake in the dream and knew I could consciously control it but chose to let the dream unfold on its own. It is one of the most profound experiences I have ever had. It illustrated for me what life is like at less tangible levels of being or as a nonphysical being.
  • Inside Ivy. Do you talk to your plants? This experience goes one step further and uncovers the spiritual nature behind all things. Through direct communication, what can we learn from each other? Inside Ivy also demonstrates the role of beliefs and emotions in setting the stage for our life experience.
  • Dreams of My Unborn Grandson. Grandparents should like this one. I had a dream about my grandson and told my daughter and her first husband about it before they told me Crystal had a sonogram and they didn’t see a penis, although the technician did tell them not to jump to conclusions because the test was dependent on the position of the baby. They were both sure Crystal was going to have a baby girl. Several weeks later, I had another dream about the baby and it was still a boy. Again, I told my daughter and her husband and both pooh-poohed me. Jordan, my grand son, was born several weeks later.

We are not human beings having a spiritual experience. We are spiritual beings having a human experience. – Pierre Teilhard de Chardin

We create our own reality from what we choose to believe about ourselves, and the world around us.

If we do not CONSCIOUSLY choose our own beliefs, we UNCONSCIOUSLY absorb them from our surroundings.

If we are accountable (responsible) for our actions, how can we afford NOT to question our beliefs?

How you define yourself, and the world around you, forms your intent, which, in turn, forms your reality. – Seth

The more we love ourselves, the better we treat ourselves, and the world.
