I heard a great speaker recently, Dennis Merrit Jones, whose message was similar to my blog posts. Dennis began his talk with the idea that our consciousness goes before us to announce our arrival before we get to where we are going. This being said, it is our consciousness that needs work, not our lives. Fix the consciousness and our lives will fall into greater order and harmony.
Consciousness is awareness (i.e., what we are aware of). When I put my awareness on Itself (i.e., I am aware that I am that which notices what is happening in my life) I abide in a neutral state. This neutral state is the portal through which God expresses itself in, as, and through me.
In preparation for next weeks meditation retreat with Adyashanti (and as a daily spiritual practice) I move my awareness to the Observer. From here I watch my psyche or little self have its drama and fears and hopes... As the Observer, there is no good and there is no bad. There is no low self esteem and there is no high self esteem. There is only space. This space if filled with potential...the potential to be everything that God intended me to be.
Each time I move my awareness to Itself and let go of that which my little self is holding on to I am making room for a shift in consciousness. I am taking a step closer to my True Potential.
(I will not be posting next week while I am on retreat. The next post will be during the week of August 12th)
