Consciousness defines itself by
the experience it has. When consciousness separated itself into
individualized points of consciousness as discussed in the
Creation
Story for the Creativity Perspective, in that moment, each point was
the same and had the exact same potential for each was unaware and
un-awake. Since each possessed a
free will, and each was unaware and
un-awake, each was identical and equal in that moment. Each
possessed the capabilities to be totally unique unto themselves and
find its true identity through that uniqueness. Or, each could make
itself a copy of some other consciousness that it experienced and
define itself as it tried to copy the world in which it found
itself.
What most of us do in life is try and define ourselves by copying
the world in which we find ourselves. Then we are puzzled when we
seem unfulfilled and that something is missing. We living in
accordance with what we are taught and learn in life. Few of us look
to our own uniqueness and the energy that flows within our being to
define who and what we are.
In any case, each point of consciousness is also an energy. As an
energy, its energy is spread out throughout reality. Although each
point of consciousness permeated all that is and is infinite in its
being, it is unaware was unaware of that fact. Each had to define
itself as to who and what it is.
The first step in becoming consciously aware for each individualized
consciousness was the realization of “I am” or “I exist.” That is,
consciousness realized it existed. However, from that moment, each
point of consciousness developed its own definition of who and what
it was. From that moment on, there were and infinite individualized
and unique points of consciousness defining themselves through the
experiences that they had. Each experience either confirmed an
identity and understanding that consciousness already had about
itself or each experience brought it a realization and new aspect of
its being and/or reality. Hence all that really exists is
experience. We use those experiences to define ourselves. Yet we are
not the experiences we have had. We are the awareness of the
experience. As long as we define ourselves by who we have been and
the experiences we have had, we can never become who we really are.
Consciousness awakens as a result of a flow of energy. We are the
flow of energy experiencing itself as it flow through Creation.
Without a flow of energy there is nothing to observe. But what is
not realized is that our consciousness is the flow of energy
awakening to itself. We can localize our point of observation in the
flow and have an experience of the flow or it can localize our
awareness outside the flow. As the flow shifts as it passes through
creation our experience changes. Yet we are the experience not the
experience we have had.
The only real reason we humans have for going anywhere, or doing
anything is to define ourselves. It is to find out more about
ourselves and see what the experience we have reveals about
ourselves. We, as any consciousness, define ourselves by the
experiences we have based and those experiences arise as a result of
the intentions we hold. The intention we hold provides the direction
in which we travel. The experiences we have in that direction are
then what we use to define who and what we think we are. In having
the experience we often forget our intention is what created the
experience.
We do not see this process for what it is because of the way we hold
our intentions. Rather than holding an intention that transcends our
ego through the entire process of manifestation, we do two things.
One is we hold intentions that reinforce the ego and identity we
have created. The second is we continually change our intentions. We
change it because we judge the experience we have in some way. We
judge it as good or bad, right or wrong, pleasurable or
non-pleasurable. We do not let it go and moving to the next
intention in
true freedom freely like the wind - coming with noting
and leaving with nothing.
In this regard, it is very difficult to become like the wind. To
have an feeling or an awareness that we like or dislike something is
an attachment even if we take no action or do not move in any way to
act on that like or dislike. Just having a preference is an
attachment. Because we hold many beliefs and opinion we hold many
subconscious judgements and preferences about what we experience.
Those subconscious preferences act like intentions that pull certain
types and kinds of experiences to us to create what we desire
without us realizing we are doing it.
It was said above the intention we hold needs to be one that
transcends our ego to see this process. The reason for this is as
follows. If we hold and manifest an intention that lies within how
we have defined ourselves by our experiences we are always in the
reality as we know it and have defined it. In doing so, we will
never see how we actually create the ego we have by our experience
for are experiences are based on what we already know and have
experienced. In holding an intention that transcends our ego, we
force ourselves to go beyond the definition of ourselves. In doing
so, we have experiences we have not had before. In having an
experience we have not had before, we can being to see how we
assimilate that experience into our being and we can see how we
define our selves by the new experiences we have.
Consciousness, the All That Is, and the consciousness that inhabits
each human body defines itself by the experiences it has. Each of
us, being
beings of infinite consciousness, will take an infinite
number of different types and kinds of experiences for our
consciousness to fully comprehend who and what it really is. To be
confined to a limited set of spiritual, mental, emotional an
physical beliefs it will be impossible for our consciousness to
define the depth and breath of its true self.
In the same way the tribes of humanity have moved passed their
localized starting point to create a world that is becoming more and
more integrated and whole every day, there is the challenge for
spiritual, mental and emotional aspects of humanity to similarly
become integrated and whole. It does need to be noted that we said
humanity is becoming more integrated and whole not uniform and the
same. Wholeness is not uniformity.
Wholeness is every part allow to perform their part an it was
designed to be played. Humanity becomes integrated and whole only to
the extent each of the member of humanity become integrated and
whole. The more each individual remains confined within a limited
set of spiritual, mental, emotional and physical beliefs, the more
humanity remains separated and fractionated. The more each
individual is able to step beyond who and what they think they are,
the more humanity itself becomes integrated and whole and the more
Consciousness Itself communicates the true depth and breath of its
Being.
As consciousness defines itself, it can be perceived as expanding or
contracting itself by focusing its attention and awareness to create
an experience and moving into the experience and embracing it
(expansion) or moving away and withdrawing from the experience and
avoiding it (contraction). However consciousness defines itself by
these experience by choosing some as pleasurable and open to
repeating them and expanding itself in that area or direction, and
others as unpleasant and closed to repeat experience thus
contracting itself. Additionally, consciousness frames the energy it
experiences in a way it can understand. For example, we can have an
experience of an energy within our being, like a shiver up and down
our spine and then feel as if there is a presence around us.
If we are not really aware of the experience we are having or have
no context to explain it, we would probably dismiss it. If however,
we recognize it as having happen before, we may feel it as the
vibration of some presence. If we feel as though it is an enjoyable
feeling and it seems like a friendly presence we would probably
embrace it. We may even give it a name.
If we sufficient allow ourselves to embrace it, we may find we can
communicate with the energy and we could perceive it as talking to
us in some way. It could be a communication or conversation in our
heard or just an inner knowing that something was communicated. If
we felt the experience as unenjoyable or a little frightening, we
would characterize it as unfriendly or some how judged the
experience as unfriendly. In this case we would probably push it
away and deny it in some way and maybe even feel they were
threatened.
In any case, there was an experience. Exactly what the experience is
depends on how well we are capable of being with the experience and
letting the experience reveal itself and communicate itself to us.
If we in some way judging it, characterizing it and biasing it
before it is finished we will not fully experience the experience we
are having.
If all is energy consciousness, any experience we have can be
perceived as another consciousness communicating with us. That
consciousness is capable of give us information if you are open to
what can be communicated in the way it is communicated. Yet, after a
long series of experiences, rather than being fully open to any
experience without the bias of the past, any consciousness has a
whole set of experiences that have been judged as unacceptable. It
also has a whole set that are acceptable. As a result, consciousness
defines itself and places itself in
a cage of its own making by the
experiences it has had.
