I had such a deep, profound experience tonight while listening to music. I felt so much love that I thought my heart would burst. I just cried and cried. Then, I felt moved to write down some of what I sensed so deeply.
Consciousness is timeless and formless. Consciousness is no-thing. Consciousness is everything that is.
This form named "Graeme" is a creation (expression) of Consciousness. Just as this time based universe of form is a creation of Consciousness ...
- A way for Consciousness to experience itself through form.
- A way for Consciousness to delight in the universe of form it has created.
- A way for Consciousness to experience itself in a world of duality... to experience itself as the light it is in a relative world of light (it) and dark (absence of it).
- A way for Consciousness to create; for Consciousness is infinitely creative.
- A way for Consciousness to awaken to itself.
Consciousness is pure Love. Underneath this world of form, there is nothing but PURE LOVE.
Knowing this is to fall into a sense of pure trust and peace that All is well, that All is perfect, that All is as exactly as it should be.
The "I" named Graeme is an illusion. A fantasy created by the mind. Letting go of that illusion allows Consciousness to wake up through this form named Graeme.
When the mind of this form lets go and pure awareness emerges, it is Consciousness itself that is aware through this form.
When the mind lets go and there is a deep wonder and love for it all, it is Consciousness itself delighting in the world through this form.
When the mind lets go and creativity and inspiration flows, it is Consciousness itself creating through this form.
This form named Graeme (including it's mind and ego) is perfect for Consciousness to experience what it is here to experience.
When the mind of this form loses itself completely in thought, judgement, fear, pride, guilt, shame or anger, Consciousness becomes trapped in that and "falls asleep" until awareness re-emerges and it wakes up again.
This form named Graeme is not unimportant or immaterial. Quite the opposite. It's a perfect expression of Consciousness. Perfect in every way for the divine purpose of Consciousness to unfold. Wondrous and miraculous. Vital and precious beyond words. Honour this form. While letting go of all attachment to it and identification with it.
The intention of this form named Graeme is to let go of the mind and ego to become pure awareness. To allow Consciousness to wake up to itself. To become an open space for Consciousness to flow into the world. A space for Consciousness to delight in the world. A space for Consciousness to create. A space for love, compassion, kindness, wonder, inspiration, peace, and joy to flow.
One of my intentions on my spiritual journey is to let go of the mind-made sense of "self". The "story of me" that the mind creates. After all, it's just a carefully edited, selectively remembered fantasy. An illusion that exists only as thoughts. It is not Who I Am. And in my experience, the more I attach to that story and get my identity from it, the less Consciousness is able to flow through the form. Because with it inevitably comes energies like guilt, shame, desire, pride and fear, all of which "suck up" Consciousness rather than allowing it to flow into the world.
To give up the mind made sense of self is to become a Space that allows Consciousness (The real Self that I Am) to flood through. And with it flows inspiration, wonder, compassion, peace and most of all, Love, for the benefit of all.
Having said this, "I" have temporarily taken on a form. The form "I" take has a body and a mind. All inherited. All perfect creations and expressions of Consciousness. All created for the divine purpose of the universe to unfold. Especially for the purpose of Consciousness to awaken to itself in this world of form. Even the ego I have inherited (seen by some as the "enemy") is perfect for Consciousness to experience what is wishes to experience, until I am able to let it go. And as Eckhart says "Without the ego, there would be no awakening."
When I am able to honour the form I temporarily take, and feel a sense of wonder in it, as a perfect expression of Consciousness and a way for the universe's divine purpose to unfold - but without getting my sense of identity from it - then letting go of the little self and awakening to the real Self becomes easier.
