“Community, in the absolute context, implies that the human being is simultaneously the part and the whole.”
Rob Taylor, The Irreducible Primary: A Dialogue on Nature, Spirituality, and the Human Condition
It begins with the first experience—an encounter with higher consciousness. No drugs, no extraordinary events or influences. A moment of existential clarity propelling us to the limits of critical thinking. And then?
I am a California native and I’ve traveled to and lived in several countries. I’ve been fortunate, having experienced the many cultures I encountered during my time in the US, Canada, Mexico, Japan, the Philippines, England, Scotland, the Netherlands, France, Israel, Belize, and South Africa.
During the fifty-plus years of my consciousness journey, certain truths have become apparent regarding widely held beliefs specific to consciousness evolution. Prevailing concepts and “teachings” deemed necessary for consciousness expansion, such as mindfulness, the subconscious, the mind, and “thought energy” are consistently misleading and misrepresented, if not completely untrue. For this reason, considerable frustration and disappointment are often experienced by those individuals who have a genuine desire for consciousness insight.
Consciousness
Consciousness is frequently and mistakenly referred to as “soul.” Consciousness work begins with learning how we choose to influence. The shift to a functional expanded consciousness reveals our access to greater insight, guidance and wisdom, and requires the human being to become her or his own experiment, simultaneously fulfilling the roles of the observer and the observed. Consciousness expansion is unique to the human species and is emerging as a distinct evolutionary paradigm.
Inner Work
Inner work is the cause and effect examination of how we process our observations in relation to emotions, thoughts, inner dialogue, contemplation, and meditation. Most importantly, inner work activates the three constructs essential to consciousness expansion: gratitude, compassion, and harmony.
Meditation
The unique experiences related consciousness expansion are not possible without meditation and inner work. Meditation is often considered synonymous to contemplation. Core meditation practice relates to the expansion of individual and collective consciousness. Contemplation produces insight to specific matters.
Brain
The brain processes our observations (from the five sensing mechanisms, memories, visualizations, etc.) as raw data which begins a complex operation of influencing energies and inner dialogues. The brain is also a magnificent organizer of memories and the master choreographer of our bodily systems.
Body
The physical body is an expression of our consciousness. The efficiency and health of our body is determined by our effort to enhance the dominant energies moving within and around us. The body is meant to sustain and protect us during our consciousness journey and must be honoured accordingly.
“If we cannot aspire to and attain love of each other, sustainable love for any facet of nature is inconceivable.”
