Implications of the equivalence of energy consciousness
This discussion parallels that
found in the topic “Nature
of Creation” and “Manifesting
a Creation.” How we create the
experiences we have and manifesting a creation are really one and
the same thing. The only difference is our focus. In one case we are
looking to create an experience where as in the other we are looking
to manifest something, which could be an experience. Hence the
discussions are the same. In turn, both creating an experience and
manifesting a creation is the nature of Creation and what Creation
is all
It is about energy
consciousness
(Top)
In looking at the
definitions of energy and consciousness, it can be seen that
each describe a different form the same thing. That is, the each
describe the material out of which
Creation/creation arises - the ability to make something happen.
Within this relationship of energy and consciousness as the ability
to make something happen, for all reality, all that is, all the
Universe, what ever you wish to call the material and non-material
world that you experience, it is energy-consciousness. This
energy-consciousness not only permeates everything and every aspect
of being, everything and every aspect of being is
energy-consciousness. This
energy consciousness can be experiences as energy or as
consciousness but both always exist together simultaneously. The two
are not separate. They are one and the same.
Although every thing is
energy consciousness, it is expected that there will be
attributes of energy that are not express in some realms as there
are attributes of consciousness that are not expressed. We cannot
assume the physical plane is capable of fully expressing all the
attributes of energy and all the attributes of consciousness. It is
assumed the realms of creation are a result of environments where
certain attributes of each can be expressed where as other
attributes are not. It is assumed that similar to the way the laws
of physics are the same everywhere whether or not environment
conditions allow them to be observed, the properties of energy and
consciousness that we discuss here and observe in the physical plane
are applicable in any realm of existence whether or not they are
expressed.
The energy of
energy consciousness is a
creative life energy in that it is capable of becoming life
itself. The amount of life you see and/or experience depends on how
aware and awake the consciousness portion is awake and allows one’s
being to be fully present to the energy flowing into, and
sustaining, one’s being.
The
bridge or the switching station between energy consciousness and
how we experiencing the manifestation of
energy consciousness as either the energy or the consciousness
ultimately lies in our
mind and the perspective we hold. Whether energy or
consciousness is seen as existing and dominating and the other or
appearing non existent doesn’t really matter - both are and always
will be. To think or perceive only one or the other is an illusion
and is the essence of separation from the Oneness of all things and
allows for the experience of Creation. The illusion of creation
starts with allowing one’s energy consciousness to lean towards one
aspect or the other. Since all beliefs have boundaries, to hold any
belief about reality or the reality that is being experiences is
cause for separation from Oneness and the belief that we hold pushes
us toward an experience of energy or toward consciousness depending
on the belief.
In essence, our
creative life energy flows to create an experience of that on
which we focus our attention and awareness within the environment in
which we find ourselves.
Observer-observed pair
(Top):
For consciousness to observe and experience the form or creation
that it intends, it needs to separate itself is some fashion into an
observer and the observed based on the intention that is held.
The consciousness becomes the observer and the energy becomes that
which is observed or that action of what is occurring.
The ultimate illusion and the function of the attribute of
consciousness that can best be called “mind”
is to hold this illusion of
observer and observed. Mind thinks it is the observer
independent of its observation and the intention or creation which
forms the observer - observed pair. In reality, the observer is
interconnected and at one with its observation and the environment
of that observation. Similarly, the function of the attribute of
energy that can best be described as the particle nature of the
wave-particle nature of energy is to hold the particular form
that is to be observed and help the mind to sustain the illusion by
being a particle or a fixed form whether that fixed form is only a
belief or an physical creation or experience. By the particle having
limits and boundaries to its existence it is seen to exist separate
and unconnected from the observation and the environment in which it
is observed. There are three components to every manifestation: the
observer, the observed and the context or environment of the
observation. These three together represent an intention that is
desired to be expressed to be both experienced and observed and it
is thought the observation that experience is had.
Energy consciousness when seen and experienced separate from
each other form a pair much like the particle and anti particle
formed in the
pair production phenomenon. What is different is that in the
pair production phenomenon
non-localized wave energy is split into matter an antimatter. In
the case of energy consciousness, the energy consciousness splits
into a energy and consciousness pair analogous to the matter -
antimatter pair.
The
observer - observed pair always occurs within in a given context
of observation. The
environment and the unfoldment of a creation are integrally
linked.
Belief & Belief
Structure
(Top):
The beliefs that we hold and the structure that our beliefs form,
that is, our
belief structure, act as the switch, or switches, that allows
the movement between energy and consciousness. Our beliefs switch
the flow of the
creative life energy on or off within our being and determine
the landscape or terrain through which the
flow of energy our intention creates must flow. They determine
the perspective we hold as the observer or the creation which is
observed. That is, we create the experiences we have and the reality
of those experiences through the beliefs we hold and the illusion
created by
mind.
Relative to the beliefs we hold, any one beliefs has a consciousness
aspect and an energy aspect. The energy aspect of the belief turns
the flow of energy on or off in a given direction. The consciousness
aspects of the belief determines the perspective as the observer
from which we experience the manifestation of that belief.
The term
belief structure is used because in addition to the belief that
is held, the way it is held cause a particular effect. For example
we can view the belief we hold as a filter. We can view life through
a yellow filter and a blue filter where the filters each represent a
different belief. We can hold the blue and yellow separate as yellow
or blue or we can allow them to mix as green. Or, we can hold them
as yellow, blue and a mixture as green. In either cases the effect
is different although we are only using two filters. The structure
or view that we create with these two filters can be different than
either of the filters. The belief structure is representative of how
we use the beliefs that we hold.
Mind holds the beliefs. Our free will throws the switch. The
consciousness, subconscious or unconscious focus of our
awareness and attention on the beliefs and how we hold the belief
allows for, or doesn’t allow for, our
creative life energy to flow. The way we channel our attention
is though our focus and we focus ourselves by intending or directing
our attention onto a particular object or aspect of creation and
holding to that intention in an unwavering fashion. We then turn
this focused intention into a habit of our mind, or, if we hold the
intention long enough and it will “go” subconscious or unconscious.
It will continue to direct our attention and energy until we either
go in and consciously change it or we hold a new belief or change
our
belief structure about what we experienced in the past such that
we hold the new belief or new belief structure until we render the
old belief inactive or dissolve it entirely.
Whatever we hold to as a belief within our being whether
consciously, subconsciously or unconsciously, attaches and directs
our attention and will continue to direct our energy until we let go
of the belief that is held. To believe or not to believe is the
question that determines if the energy flows or doesn’t flow.
Beliefs and the
stream of life
(Top):
What does need to be noted here is that any concept, word or symbol
that we retain in our conscious or subconscious memory is a
characterization of
energy into particulate form with defined limits and boundaries.
As such the belief holds or directs a portion of our energy. Our
beliefs create a pattern which capture and hold the energy that
flows within your being much like the way we can cause
a string fixed at both ends to vibrate and create an illusionary
envelop. Here our beliefs act as that fixed string which
vibrates in the flow of our
creative life energy to create an illusion form which we call an
experience of reality or Creation.
In another analogy, our beliefs act much the same way rocks that lie
in the bed of a small creek direct and redirect the flow of water of
the stream depending on the depth of the stream. Our beliefs do the
same analogous thing within our consciousness. When we act in great
passion and have a great amount of energy flowing in our life,
analogous to a stream with a great flow of water, many rocks lie
deeply submerged having little influence on the flow. However, as
the water levels drop, and our passion to act decreases, the deeply
submerged rocks begin to have a greater and greater effect one
causing turbulence in the water.
Once a belief is held in memory, it is within our being like one of
the rocks within the stream bed that can create turbulence in our
life when our energy levels are lowered. However beliefs are
slightly different than the rocks. It takes some of
creative life energy, or some of the water flowing within our
stream to form the rock itself. Remember, all is
energy consciousness and we perceive it as energy or as
consciousness. As discussed in the
origins of thoughts, to hold a belief means we must form that
belief out of a portion of our creative life energy and characterize
that portion into the belief we hold. Once the rock forms it then
becomes a possible obstruction to the flow depending on the level of
the flow. The beliefs we hold affect the flow of our creative life
energy in two ways. One way is that it takes some of the flow of our
creative life energy to form the analogous rock. That rock once
formed, then becomes a possible obstructing creating turbulence in
the flow. Possibly diverting, fragmenting or scattering the flow of
our creative life energy which in lies our creative power.
Because
energy and consciousness are one and the same thing, wherever or
on whatever, we focus our awareness and attention we direct our
energy and it will grow and expand. Hence, if we focus on a beliefs
directly or indirectly, we move energy into the belief and that has
the effect of essentially causing the rock within our stream to grow
and divert the waters of the stream even more. Similarly, whatever
we remove from our focus and attention will collapse and shrink.
Our consciousness can affect the flow of our
creative life energy in two ways. One is that it allows us to
change the level of the flow of our creative life energy in any
direction in life by how we focus or attention. That new flow, in
turn, causes some beliefs to become more profound in their effect
and others to diminish. Our consciousness is what is responsible for
raising or dropping the level of the water that flows within our
stream by how it does or does not allow us to access our
creative passion. Also the beliefs that do affect the flow of
energy also act as a feedback loop to redirect or enhance the focus
of our consciousness in the given direction. It needs to be realized
that we are a
creative living process. What we experience affects what we
believe and what we believe affects what we experience. There is an
ongoing dance of continually recreating ourselves by the experiences
we have.
The second way is that consciousness affects the flow of energy is
that it causes the rocks in the steam to increase or decrease by how
we focus on them. But we must remembered, the fact that if we
consciously remove a belief, that does not mean it is removed on the
subconscious or unconscious level. Our
mind may still contain habits and patterns of thinking or acting
that contain the belief.
Remember our beliefs are integrated into a
belief structure. Removing a beliefs does not me we remove or
change the structure built around that belief. The structure can
still remain long after we change the belief and even some of our
thinking. Often this residual belief structure does not surface
unless we experience some even in life which that particular belief
structure is called upon to response. This residual beliefs
structures are part of the hauntings and ghosts from the past that
seem to continually reappear at certain times in our life.
There are many beliefs we hold which lie below the main currents of
our stream of consciousness or the flow of our
creative life energy. As flow in our creative life energy
changes, and the level varies as in the water level of a steam,
given the correct consciousness level and/or accompanying change in
the flow of our creative life energy, the beliefs will resurface -
or at least the residual
belief structure built around those beliefs will surface. This
can be quite puzzling and surprising when we thought we had removed
a particular way of thinking.
In addition switching and controlling the shift between energy and
consciousness, in the realm of consciousness, each belief determines
our view and interpretation of reality. In the realm of energy each
belief actually casts and molds the creation that we experience into
the view and interpretation we have. This
energy consciousness aspect is the aspect of reality that allows
reality to mold itself to what ever it or we intend by what we
believe. Energy consciousness molds itself into what ever it intends
or holds with in consciousness (consciousness, subconscious or unconscious
consciousness) in the
mind. It is the intention(s) we hold which cause the perceived
separation of energy from consciousness. An intention although like
desire, is much more subtle than a desire for one can ask what is
the intention behind our desire or what intention do we carry that
we desire what we do.
Intention as use here has two aspects and each is extremely
important in how our consciousness creates our experiences. One is
what we intend and the other is why we intend what we do. Both have
a tremendous influence and role to play. For example, the intention
of cutting a person with a knife has significantly different
implications if it is done in surgery to fix an abnormal condition
in the body as opposed to stabbing a person and stealing their
money. All intentions have what can best be described as a direction
associated with the movement of the energy. In physics that is
called a
vector and vectors add and subtract slightly differently that
adding and subtracting numbers.
Each intention has a “what” component and a “why” component and also
a magnitude of passion or energy and a direction of flow - toward or
away from something. The most important understanding is that energy
flows and forms where one focus their attention and awareness. From
this aspect, we can say that this
energy consciousness has a direction and it flows in whatever
direction we intend. There is no correct or right direction and
there is no wrong direction. There is just toward and way from
something which
mind holds.
Our intentions are what underlay all the energy flow in our life.
There is a direction that goes with each intention we hold. The flow
of our
creative life energy is either scattered and fragmented or
brought into a coherence and a unity of force. I t is analogous of
the difference between a flashlight and a laser. In a flashlight the
light my be directed in the same direction but it is not a coherent
beam where each particle of light adds to strengthen the power
available within the light. In a laser, each particle of light adds
to strengthen the overall power available in the beam of light. Our
intentions do something similar. They add or subtract with all our
other intentions giving you a resultant direction to your life. The
question is whether or not the focus of our life has a creative
power to it like a laser like focus or is the creative power
scattered and fragmented more light a flashlight focus.
The key to understanding intention is that with the realm of
energy consciousness, anything on which we focus our attentions
and awareness grows or expands. When we take our attention off
something, it contracts and dissipates. However, to move our focus
and awareness off a conscious memory or belief and move it to a
subconscious or unconsciousness level does not
dissipate the energy. Nor does it mean we do not stop adding
energy to it. What most come to see is that it is essential to
surface the subconscious and unconscious memories and beliefs that
are holding our energy to fully restore our creative abilities and
accessing the creative power that we already have. It is not some
much about gaining creative power as it is restoring and access what
we already have that is operating subconsciously and unconsciously.
Although all memories are a form of consciousness and energy because
the are a creation of energy consciousness, because of the way they
are held, some memories hold or bind more energy that which is
necessary to sustain the memory itself. The goal in accessing and
releasing our unlimited creativity is to access and release the
energy which is bound in our past.
Along with our intention manifesting it needs to be understood that
the intention and the unfoldment of that intention will persist
unless it is changed. There is the physical principle which states
that an object in motion will stay in motion unless acted upon by an
unbalanced force. Normally we associate the word object with
something physical. From an
energy consciousness viewpoint, an object in any ‘named’
quantity of consciousness. For examples: a thought, a belief, a
person, an idea, a symbol, and attribute of something or anything
that consciousness differentiate or separated into a particulate or
particle form is an object. So whenever is intended will persist
until it is changed. Any time we cause a differentiation or
separation of energy consciousness, that separation will persist
until we dissolve or dissipate the cause to the separation.
Implications of the
equivalence of energy consciousness
(Top):
Now there is an important aspect of
energy consciousness that may be difficult to accept. If all
creation is only this energy consciousness molding itself to what
consciousness intends, then every thought, every cell, every
particle of matter is capable of having thoughts, feelings, beliefs
and intentions and that each is already in communication with
everything else. There are realms within realms and thoughts within
thoughts. The only question is what is the level of awareness of
each of these differentiated forms.
There will be thoughts within the components and the total aggregate
of the components can have thoughts. In some ways the feeling from a
particular body organ or body muscle could be considered a thought
by that composite or
collective mind of that organ or muscle group. Similarly our
thought can be considered as the total aggregate of thoughts from
all our body parts. Similarly a group of people can have a thought
that is result of, and held by, the entire group but individually
the thought does not exist.
For example, any team, such as a football team or baseball team, can
have thoughts that individually held by a player makes no sense and
the sense only comes from the total team together. We can understand
this concept if we look at only the individual movements of each
player when on the field. Individually their movements seem to have
no logic. However, in the context of a team executing a play as in
football or the baseball team responding to the way a particular
ball has been hit, the individual movements make complete sense -
except of course for errors and fumbles.
In the
energy consciousness model
of the universe, what need to be understood is that the
body,
mind,
emotions, behavior, thought, and the environment all interact to
create the experiences we have. They are not separate form each
other. Another way of saying this is each experience of life is
within a given context and that overall context can be considered a
consciousness to itself. The only difference in all these varies
aspects of consciousness is that each has a different view and as
such each has a different
belief structure, level of awareness and consciousness and
unconsciousness to experience a given situation as it does.
In this regard, both our
physical body and the
mind need to be better understood to understand how this
bridge point between consciousness and energy occurs and we how
create our reality. It is here in the equivalence of energy and
consciousness where the
mind body connection really lies. In some ways we can say is our
physical bodies are our current understanding of the energy aspects
of
energy consciousness manifesting. Similarly, our currently level
of awareness and our
enculturated mind (who we think we are) is the consciousness
portion of this energy consciousness manifesting. To readily access
that mind body connection we need to change our awareness as to who
and what we are to change the focus of our attention and awareness
that is manifesting our body.
To know what we currently understand about
energy consciousness, we just need to look at what we understand
about both our world and our current level of awareness. To become
effective at being this energy consciousness we need to become
effective at managing both the consciousness aspect and the energy
aspect of being. When a reasonable footing is gained in each of
these two areas, one can then start to learn to dance between the
two becoming efficient at managing and being energy consciousness
manifesting in physical form to have a physical experience. This
journey starts with the learning to dance starting with the
dance between the mind and the heart.
