Empower Your Consciousness

We are at a time when there is desperate need for us ordinary folks to influence the course of human affairs to restore respect for and integrity in our environment, society, economy and governance.

Traditional “ism”s are unlikely to supply this need as they have all been found wanting in terms of rectifying problems created by “human nature”.

So where then can a concerned individual turn?

Protest? Demonstrate? Petition? Write your elected representative? These courses of action have also become near to meaningless in arresting humanity's descent.

And yet here is an image which clearly demonstrates the power an individual can exert to arrest the might of the industrial-military force.

This is one of the great questions we all face today: how can we, as concerned individuals do just that?

One way is to empower our consciousnesses to manifest power. Not force but Power, Power to change.

It may require sacrifice - the sacrifice of out-dated attitudes, beliefs and agendas on the alter of human survival (to put it dramatically).

That is something which most well-intentioned individuals will gladly embrace as it becomes more and more obvious that what has got us to where we are is inherently incapable of producing anything other than more of the same.

Perhaps the most notable feature of an empowered consciousness is that it is simply not capable of neglecting the welfare of others for personal gain, behaviour which lies at the core of much of the decision-making which has brought us all to the brink of the chasm.

Some claim that such attitudes are part of “human nature” - I disagree, I believe they learned behaviour taught us by humans who have been seduced by the illusory temptations of money, power, fame: greed aided abetted by widespread spiritual ignorance.

Step 1: Raising Your level of Consciousness

Raising your level of consciousness is not difficult - you have done it many times throughout your life, you have also, if you are like me, lowered it many times also.

In fact conditions such as “bi-polar disorder” are symptomatic of someone whose consciousness is going up and down like a yo-yo producing periods of elevated optimism alternating with times of depression and hopelessness.

Consciousness raising is how I describe the development of the ability to sustain an elevated level of consciousness intentionally and without resorting to chemical assistance.

This is a view of the energy field of Human Consciousness - it looks a bit like the gravity field surrounding a “black hole”

We have developed this by synergising our MindVision workshop and the pioneering work of Sir David Hawkins.

The lower levels of the field are characterised by habitual or learned responses - it is a familiar (for most) realm of survival and struggle, conflict and competition - you could say a pit of greed.

The upper levels are characterised by unlimited thinking free from learnt beliefs and attitudes - a realm of unlimited opportunity and peace, community and cooperation.

Transition from the lower level to the upper levels is accomplished through a “Rite of Passage” which involves embracing and expressing your own personal truth.

The lower levels are the stuff of your past while the upper levels can be the stuff of your future once you have learned to transit from lower to higher consciousness.

Step 2: Empowering Your Consciousness

This requires that you become “involved with life” - or start to “follow your passion”. No doubt you have heard that expression in other contexts - maybe as a fundamental ingredient in “living your dream life” or such like.

I suspect it is swiftly becoming a fundamental ingredient for those who simply want to live.

With respect to empowering your consciousness it translates into an involvement with life: there are no hard and fast rules for you here - everyone is unique and we all are passionate about different aspects of life.

If you, like me, have had a typical “upbringing” then it is likely you will have had some, if not all, of your awareness of your passion in life discouraged, derided or destroyed in “your own best interests”.

It is not easy to rediscover your passion alone and unaided with a consciousness which is “in the pits”.

What this requires is letting go of agendas, goals, behaviours which we have had thrust upon us - usually from authority figures in our early years.

Then we are able to recognise and embrace what has lain dormant within us - creating an uneasy dissatisfaction with life for many.

This reunion combined with a raised level of consciousness will fan the flames of passion and empower you to put yourself in your version of this picture and do your powerful, positive part to halt humanity's global slide to oblivion (to put it dramatically once more).

Something to think about: if you don't do this then who or what do you think will prevent what appears inevitable?
