Our Wondrous Collective Consciousness

Written by Mathew Naismith

Consciousness can be expressed in infinite ways, look at how differently expressive we are to each other and this is just in a physical reality, what about how different consciousness is beyond physical realities, it's seemingly insurmountable for us to perceive. This to me is due to physicality stopping us from perceiving beyond certain fixed boundaries,  in other words physicality has made it difficult to perceive past physical realities, this isn't done by accident though, there is a purpose to this as there is of everything of what consciousness is.

There are certain states of conscious awareness one can get into that shows everything we are and everything we are able to be expressive of,  this includes the infinite ways we can exist. In this state, we realise we are of everything of what consciousness is either it be expressive of motion or of motionless, either it be of physicality or of something else, this is a true state of oneness. This is all due to not separating motion from motionless, physicality from spirituality which is in reference to a non-physical form or a formless existence. Is true oneness separating one part of consciousness from the other?  No, true oneness is the realisation that everything of consciousness is just that, it's of one consciousness no matter how it's expressed.

A lot of us would like to think this oneness is a state of motionlessness, a total harmonious state of stillness, however, how can we  be in total oneness when we  exclude certain parts of how consciousness is expressed? Yes we can judge what is and what isn't an illusion, this allows us to judge what true oneness is or isn't. What we are not getting away from here is judgement, judging something an illusion is judging a wrong as opposed to a right way to exist when there is no true right or wrong way to exist in the first place. Yes, we can observe what's a wrong way to exist, this is usually a destructive chaotic existence as opposed to  harmonious constructive existence but what are we expressive of here when judging this so?  Physicality,  physicality refers to satisfaction of physical drives and appetites, it serves us to perceive what is and isn't an illusion and what is a true oneness state.

When you observe consciousness as a whole without judging a wrong or right, an illusion or a non-illusion, we get to see a different picture of what true oneness is, it's being in a state that is aware that consciousness as a whole, no matter how it's expressed, is still consciousness.

Let's now take a look at this physical reality, could we be expressive of consciousness in a physical way if we were in this true oneness state?  We should be aware here, that while in this oneness state, we are aware of all other ways to exist and all other ways we have existed.  Once consciousness is aware of all it is, being expressive of consciousness in a physical way would be impossible, in other words our unawareness of our whole existence has made it possible to be expressive of consciousness is such away. Now exclude consciousness itself being able to be expressive of itself in a physical way, you no longer have a true state of oneness once you exclude any part of expressing this consciousness in anyway.

What is actually being stated here is, consciousness can be expressive of motion in the same exact moment that it expresses motionless, this is because consciousness itself as a whole is not only influenced by physicality but by spirituality as well, a state of non-physical form or of total formlessness. Again this consciousness can be of form and or formlessness at the same exact moment, this is very difficult for us to perceive because we are predominantly influenced by physicality,  this means we are predominately influenced by satisfaction of physical drives and appetites.

What happens to us when we experience an OBE, are we not, at the same exact moment, expressive of physical and non-physical form?  When we remember an OBE, we are aware at the physical mind level and the spiritual mind level in that present moment.

We are all expressive of OBE's, in other words everyone experiences OBE's so why don't we remember them? Physicality, our physical minds are unable to remember such experiences because we are only fixated to our  satisfaction of physical drives and appetites in one way or another. This means we are unable to perceive being able to be in form and in a formless state in the same exact moment. When you look down at your own body (form) while experiencing an OBE, you are at that exact same moment expressive of form and of formlessness. OBE's to me quite clearly show that we can be expressive of form and formlessness at the same moment, this also shows that consciousness is only in a true oneness state when it's also expressive of all of what it is. This of course takes this consciousness to be expressive of motion and motionless states at the same exact present moment.

Becoming an observer also shows us that we can indeed participate and observe in the same present moment, observing your own participation is simular to OBE's, you can consciously observe your own consciousness being expressive of consciousness itself, this is how consciousness can be of form and of formlessness at the same exact present moment. Like OBE's, we are all observing our own expressions of consciousness in physical form, and like OBE's, most of us don't remember being an observer but we all are, we are all in total observing how expressive we are of consciousness in physical form, in other words everyone is observing their physical expressions of consciousness with absolutely no exceptions.

So why don't we all become aware of our own observations? This is simple, would we be as expressive of consciousness if we were aware of our own observations?  Our own awareness would influence the way we express such consciousness taking away any true oneness of this consciousness, we are, in our present awareness, a true expression of oneness. This is very hard for us to perceive as it's hard for us to perceive being in form and in a formless state at the same exact moment. 

It is quite obvious we are supposed to become aware, this too is but another expression of consciousness that makes consciousness itself of a true oneness state.                        

The Magnificence of Consciousness

Written by Mathew Naismith

These are the kinds of posts I don't mind writing and not just because we judged them as being positive, what's most important to me is they bring different perspectives to the fore. The different perspective in this case is to do with the many various expressions of consciousness. Consciousness is infinite within it's expression, it is indeed by all rights magnificent within all of it's expressions. This post is no different in that it's one of numerous expressions that is neither right or wrong, it's but another expression of this consciousness which gives us a different perceptive of this consciousness, our own consciousness.

Different Expressions of Consciousness: In my last post I wrote about evil intent, this is but one of many expressions of this consciousness that many of us would judge as being one thing or another, in other words wrong or right, positive or negative. The controlling ego thrives on this kind of perspective that everything has to have a right and wrong, this is in accordance with our own expressions of consciousness, our own perspectives.

Recently same sex marriage have been on the agenda again, people can't help loving someone even of the same sex, has anyone in the world got the right to tell another person who and who they can't love?  This is a very good point, is it not also a good point when people can't help loving more than one person at a time, who has the right to tell anyone they can't love more than one partner at any given time. But all what's on the agenda is same sex marriage, this is one expression of consciousness excluding and even ignoring another expression of consciousness with the same dilemma, you are not allowed to marry who you want to love.

Again we are judging what is a right and wrong way to express this consciousness, this is brought about by only being accepting of our own expression of consciousness which mostly exclude any other expression of consciousness. This is usually in accordance with our ideologies, again, each ideology is but one of numerous expressions of consciousness, one isn't right or right, worthy or unworthy, they are just different expressions of the same consciousness.

Oneness: Now this is interesting, each expression of consciousness is an expressions of the same consciousness, the exact same consciousness no matter how different this consciousness is expressed. This is the oneness, to me it's not some halleluiah realm or state of consciousness above all other expressions of consciousness, this is due to no matter what we express, or even don't express, it's still consciousness, this oneness.

 Another good point to be aware of is, you might think that to have consciousness you need motion, consciousness is created by motion but not all of consciousness moves or vibrates. The funny thing is, the more aware you become, the less you react (move),  so the more aware you become the less you vibrate, this infers a true oneness state has no motion to it. When I say consciousness is created by motion, I mean it creates a consciousness that reacts to itself, all motion was created by consciousness but this motion of consciousness creates an endless stream of reactions, an infinite expressions of consciousness.

You might still think this oneness state has to have motion, it has to vibrate to exist, this is due to everything that exists has to vibrate but it's interesting what causes this vibration to start with. Observation, as soon as we observe, we cause a vibration through the act of observing, however, once we stop being the observer to interact with such vibrating (motion) consciousness, we create numerous expressions of this one consciousness from initially being the observer.

Non-interactive State: Now go the other way from an observing point of view, in other words instead of interacting from the observer point of view and becoming interactive with consciousness, go the other way, what do we have, what state of consciousness are we talking about, is it interactive or non-interactive?  It of course has to be non-interactive, this means consciousness can also be non-interactive from an observing point of view.

How do you observe non-interaction,  a consciousness that has no motion what so ever?

The point is you can't observe a non-interactive consciousness, this seems to infer that consciousness doesn't exist within this non-interactive states, only through observing interactive expressions of consciousness can consciousness exist. This isn't true however, to me this is due to a non-interactive state being of absolute awareness without being the observer. Think on this, why would an absolute aware consciousness want to observe itself when it's already totally aware without observing itself and in the process interacting with numerous expressions of itself? At this non-interactive state, observing itself has no purpose as it's already fully aware of itself.

This is what so magnificent about this one consciousness, it can be non-interactive, it can also be the observer and it can be interactive with it's numerous expressions of itself simultaneously in the very present, the magnificence of this consciousness is astounding. This magnificence is exemplified a thousand times when you consider we are talking about the same exact consciousness no matter how it expresses or doesn't express itself.   

Connection: I'm going to touch on a few more thing here. Now I said in my last post that by just laughing I dispelled what we deem as entities with evil intent, this sounds ridiculous until you realise how magnificently this consciousness works. Entities with deemed evil intent exist in a highly interactive expression of consciousness, this infers that such expressive states of consciousness are unaware especially in relation to a non-interactive state of consciousness. Everyone can at anytime connect to this non-interactive totally aware state of consciousness, this is due to the fact we are after all only talking about one consciousness here, there is no reason why you can't access/connect to your own consciousness unless you are unaware of how this one consciousness works, how your own consciousness works in other words.

I would also like to once again touch on the difference between observing the different expressions of  consciousness to judging different expressions of  consciousness. Voicing an observation relates to not judging a wrong or right, worthy or unworthy, however, judgement always refers to a wrong or right, worthy or unworthy, it's worth being aware of this.

I still to this day express numerous expressions of consciousness at any given time, this means I don't judge expressing egotistically controlled straits as any less or more worthy or wrong than an expression of consciousness not controlled by the ego. Is it wrong to be egotistically controlled than a non-egotistically controlled state?  A lot of people would say yes but all you are doing in this is being aware of one part of this one consciousness. Like with this one consciousness itself for which you are, you can be non-interactive, the observer or interactive simultaneously, once you realise this you can connect to any part of this consciousness at any given time within the present moment, the choice is yours. You can only do this if you don't judge what is right and what is wrong, once you judge a right and wrong way to express consciousness, you lose the connection.     

The Question of Taking Action or Not

Written by Mathew Naismith

Consciousness is very volatile and is susceptible to movement from other conscious sources, this is because all of what is, is actually consciousness or created from consciousness, this includes everything man has created himself. The universe I believe is a creation of consciousness, that is why the universe and everything within this universe reacts to each other. The more physical the consciousness is, the more volatile and susceptible it becomes from other sources of consciousness, this is due to all physical forms created from pure conscious being unenlightened from an enlightened state of consciousness. The more a consciousness is enlightened, the less volatile and susceptible it is and visa-versa to other sources of consciousness. 

It's virtually impossible for an unenlightened state to not move, in other swords take action, this is due to such unenlightened states being volatile and susceptible to other conscious sources. These other sources of consciousness can quite easily influence an unenlightened state so such an unenlightened state reacts which of course causes further reaction. You drop a pebble in the water and it causes movement in the form of ripples, now in another part of the water drop another pebble, the reaction is instantaneous,  ripples from the second pebble counteract the ripples from the first pebble. To stop such ripples effecting our own ripples, we keep reacting, in other words we keep dropping pebbles in the water to counteract ripples from other pebbles dropped in the water, we soon end up with a lot of chaotic disturbance on the surface of the water.

Now before we dropped these pebbles in the water, the surface of the water was still and tranquil, the water was still moving but under it's own force. An unenlightened source of consciousness unaware of such stillness, disrupts this flow by taking action causing an endless stream of reactions as in the pebbles. I see man as these pebbles, instead of gently placing the stones in the water, we basically plunge ourselves into the water time and time again in reaction, this of cause causes the water to become chaotic. To me this reality is very much like the water, it has become chaotic but if we stopped reacting and plunging ourselves into this water, the water would eventually become still again.

It's very hard for an unenlightened consciousness to stop reacting, this is mainly caused by a controlling ego instead of a non-controlling ego. A controlling ego needs to take action but a consciousness that's not controlled by the ego, doesn't see a reason to change the stillness of the water for any purpose for what better purpose is there than to exist in tranquillity!!

By placing the pebbles in the water instead of dropping them, is this not an action or a reaction still?

When you are causing no or little disturbance to the water, can you still call this an action or reaction, what action is there in this?

An action is defined by a reaction, if there is no reaction, no actual action took place even when we have movement, this is because it's a very passive movement. This is saying that not  all movement is in relation to an action or reaction until it causes a reaction. If I was to react to the water, I would drop the pebble in the water, if I didn't want a reaction I would gently place the stone in the water causing no reaction at all. All consciousness works  the same, if we want a reaction, we drop or throw the stone in the water, if not, we place it in the water. Consciousness reacts very much like the water, it too is volatile and susceptible to active movement, this is because water is also consciousness.

A lot of spiritual practices teach us to quieten the mind, is this an action and/or a reaction?

It's a reaction if we are reacting for a purpose or an intention, an intention to quieten the mind to rid ourselves of undesirability's of some kind, this is likened to dropping the pebble in the water. It's not an action or a reaction if we are just quietening the mind for no purpose or intention, this is likened to placing the pebble in the water.

So many Western spiritual practice these days are about taking firm action to rid ourselves of some kind of undesirability, this is wholly counteractive to quietening the mind. Quietening the mind means taking no actions.

When we quieten the mind, doesn't this cause a reaction, don't we become more passive and understanding, is this not a reaction?

What happens to the water when we no longer drop the pebbles in the water but place them in the water? The water becomes quietened through placing the pebbles in the water, instead of dropping them, which causes no or little reaction, the flow of the water becomes quietened again. Quietening the mind is very much like this. I should point out here, the pebble belongs in the water as we belong in realities like this one. We are consciousness existing in consciousness, we don't belong anywhere else just like the pebbles in the water.

There is no action or reaction taking place when you are aware of where you are supposed to be, a quiet mind is where we are supposed to be as opposed to a noisy mind. An enlightened mind is not noisy, actually it's quite tranquil and still where's an unenlightened mind is noisy and chaotic. We are not meant to drop the pebble in the water but place the pebble in the water causing very little reaction in the process.

By taking firm action, we are not going with the natural flow of the water, the natural process of the subtle movement by consciousness in it's natural form, every action and reaction changes this natural movement of consciousness and turns it into something chaotic.

Reawakening from Sleep

Written by Mathew Naismith

I had a good internet friend of mine bring forth some interesting queries and questions in relation to my last post, I thought I would share them with you with my reply and follow up response.     

Mathew, thanks for such a great post -  profound and thought provoking . So many things have popped into my head! I find the idea of going with the flow appealing  as a way of continually evolving without reacting to the friction of everyday setbacks. I'm also wondering if going with the flow can be compatible with manifesting desires . . and are reactions our teachers . . .? It would be nice to have that serenity though!

Thanks Carolyn, any kind of awakening is certainly thought provoking.

Desires and manifesting are tricky, usually there reactions to a circumstance which in turn creates further reactions. Have you seen the movie the fifth element with Bruce Willis and Milla Jovovich. When this dark matter appeared, humans reacted to it and the more they reacted, the bigger the mass got, this was pure consciousness and this is how consciousness itself works. 

When we see a threat to our serenity, what do we do? We react which causes the threat to expand even more, the trick is to not react, this is not easy to do. 

We actually don't have to manifest or desire anything as it's already there, it's just we are unaware of this. Serenity has always been there, we are just unaware of this. 

"Are reactions our teacher", a very good thought, yes but only if we are going to learn from them, otherwise they just become a continuous nightmare. An unenlightened consciousness can become entrapped within this nightmare but this can only happen if we are asleep, in other words not awakened (enlightened). 

What if man met this dark mass with love in the movie the fifth element instead of aggression, you might like to think this dark mass would just go away but consciousness doesn't work like this, any kind of reaction/ recognition actually endorses such dark consciousness, this dark mass would continue to consume Earth. 

A true enlightened state, an awakened consciousness, is another matter, this consciousness doesn't see a dark mass but only consciousness. This dark mass only becomes consciousness because there is no right or wrong, dark or light, only the ego sees it as this. 

We humans only see serenity as opposed to chaos, an enlightened consciousness only sees a consciousness being expressed. Basically everything becomes light only because of the extent of our awareness in a true enlightened state from an unenlightened state. This is the same when we turn the light on in a dark room, we become aware of everything the light shines on, however, a true enlightened state actually negates light and dark, everything is known without a reaction, like turning on a light, mainly because nothing is being obscured from such awareness.

When we get to this stage of enlightenment, there is no chaos or serenity, only consciousness reacting with itself creating a light and dark, right and wrong, serenity and chaos. This can only happen when a consciousness is in an unenlightened state, asleep in other words.

We have come to the point now, is this unenlightened, asleep state, an illusion, is time and the species man an illusion? It is very easy to perceive so, our own dreams are not real when excluding OBE's and foretelling dreams, they are illusion dreamt up by our subconscious or are they?

Excluding OBE's and foretelling dreams, what creates our dreams? The subconscious, an unawakened state of consciousness, what controls  this state of consciousness? The subconscious, is the subconscious real? You might think not but it is, our dreams are physically induced by real circumstances in our every day lives, this makes our dream very real in a psychological sense.

Now let's look at the dream we are all experiencing in this unenlightened state, this reality, because it's a dream it's an illusion to a lot of people when in fact it's not, it works similarly to our own dreams, we are basically experiencing the psychological effects from our enlightened self except it's more an imagination from the enlightened self  rather than dreams brought on by psychological trauma for example.

Which state of consciousness is more real, a consciousness that is also physical or a completely nonphysical consciousness? In an enlightened state, there is only consciousness no matter how this consciousness is being expressed or experienced, again there is no right or wrong, dark or light. Which expression of consciousness is an illusion again?  Once again there is no illusion and non-illusion, all there is, is consciousness.

There is only one truly enlightened consciousness, does this make the presumed separation of different unenlightened consciousness's an illusion when there can only be one consciousness? 

Again this is like the dreams we have, they are mostly psychologically educed by actual experiences but it's still an expression of consciousness, just because we are an expression of our enlightened self, doesn't mean such imaginary expressions are an illusion. No matter how consciousness expresses itself, it's still consciousness and if it's consciousness it's real but not in the sense we perceive real. Real to us is the perception of dark and light, wrong and right, illusion and non-illusion, one or the other has to be real or right, this is how an unenlightened state of consciousness thinks, this isn't the same when in an enlightened state for there is no separation of consciousness, there is only consciousness even when it expresses itself in a physical way. 

There is only one consciousness but no matter how this one consciousness is expressed, it's still consciousness. It's funny to think all these expressions of consciousness in unenlightened states are from one consciousness, this means when we become truly enlightened, awakened, we become this one consciousness. This is very difficult for an obvious separate expression of consciousness to comprehend and quite understandably so, this is because we feel we are expressions of separate consciousness, not various expressions from one consciousness.

The best way to comprehend this is to think of your own dreams, how many expressions of consciousness can you imagine or create within your own dreams, how many people appear in your dreams? This is no different from this one single truly enlightened consciousness, no matter what this consciousness creates, it's still an expression of it's own consciousness, it's still consciousness no matter what.

The question is, are we one consciousness or separate consciousness's and the answer is yes, just like our own dreams, every single expression of consciousness within our dreams is who we are, the expression of our enlightened self is exactly the same. There is only one consciousness, but, this one consciousness expresses itself in many different ways just like we do in relation to our own dreams.   

Evolutionary Consciousness

Written by Mathew Naismith

I recently realised that what I have always been writing about was beyond a non-evolutionary consciousness, a consciousness that doesn't want to change, this change of course takes one to let go of any present fixations to existing ideological concepts. I have changed the title of this blog for exactly this reason form The World of True Spiritual Acceptance to Evolutionary Consciousness. Allow yourself to evolve.

To me the best way to become aware is to take notice of the very environment you are presently existing in, in other words the very environment you are presently experiencing in the now. If you have taken notice of this environment, most of everything evolves including human consciousness, the human species alone has experienced numerous conscious changes in Earths history, if this didn't occur, we would be still throwing rocks at each other.

You might say throwing rocks at each other is a lot better than throwing nuclear missiles at each other, it would seem all what human evolutionary changes have given us is destruction and chaos, this is obviously true but why is it true?

Humans within their mentality are like the crocodile/alligator, the mentality of humans has evolved very little over time in Earths history, humans still have the mentality of an aggressive hunter.

Let's now look at how the birds have evolved over time, some of them still have this aggressive hunting instinct, to an extent, but most birds have evolved from this state of existence. This is from a state where most birds were highly aggressive within their hunting instincts, they even looked the part. Birds themselves have visually changed quite dramatically in their evolution unlike the crocodile/alligator, you could say this of humans, they too have visually changed but quite in the opposite direction to birds I believe. Does a soldier, a riot policeperson or a hoodlum look any less threatening today than a cave man holding a rock? Actually they are more threatening than ever and a lot more deadlier, a rock may kill one person but a nuclear missile or a gun can kill many at any given time.

This is the same with consciousness, every time humans have gone through a conscious change, they have used that change in a violent way, take the industrial revolution and the iron age for example, both these ages of changing consciousness have been used to fuel our aggressive instinctive mentalities.

I find this is the same with non-evolutionary ideological concepts and beliefs of old, this is the be and end all, you follow this particular titled ideology and you can't go wrong. The problem with such mentalities is other ideologies and beliefs are therefore wrong in comparison. The other problem is we have numerous titles and names that have to fit within a certain slot, this is of course is going to create chaos and conflicts between these titles and names.

I channel, I have no titles or names of who or what is channelling through me, it makes no difference except to the ego self, this ego self I feel is of the old consciousness mentality that we are obviously having trouble in letting go of. 

I have most often mentioned Jesus, Buddha in my posts, they too are of the old consciousness. The reason why they are still relevant is because we have not evolved, sadly enough they are still relevant today when they shouldn't be I feel. I think these very special people would love to be totally forgotten and not referred to in anyway because this would mean we have evolved.

To me it's sad that we need to keep referring back to old texts to find balance within our lives, this doesn't mean they are wrong or irrelevant, they are quite appropriate to a consciousness of old, however,  the continuation of using such texts and consciousness shows a consciousness that is having trouble evolving in my mind.

We should learn from our environment and be more like the bird than the crocodile/alligator and blossom into a beautiful creature just like the bird. 

Going Beyond Our Conscious Understandings

Written By Mathew Naismith

I was recently confronted with a query from my mother in-law; it would seem she values my opinion in regards to spiritual matters especially concerning spiritual healing. My mother in-law isn’t sure how to respond to spiritual healers as she has two spiritual healers related to her who wish to help her, however, she’s not into spiritual healing at all so her response to her relatives isn’t very favourable at all. This can be a complex issue and hard to comprehend if one has never witnessed actual spiritual healing processes.

The best way to look at this issue is to explain that everything vibrates, in other words everything was created from various vibrational frequencies, now if this is the case, it makes sense how one vibration can indeed affect another vibration. Music is a very good example, if we weren’t vibrating, how would different music affect us in different ways? The thing is, different music does indeed affect us differently, this is because we are also made up out of various vibrational frequencies, it’s basically one vibration having an effect upon another vibration, spiritual healing is no different.

For anyone not able to perceive that we are made up out of vibrational frequencies, this is still going to be hard to comprehend, I think this I due to not being able to perceive past our present conscious understanding.

Recently I was in conversation with other spiritually aware people who were reciting from old texts, they were still following trusted and proven teachings, no matter what I said, they could not perceive past their present conscious understanding, actually they just didn’t want to, this was very much in line with my mother in-law. It’s not easy trying to comprehend in a different way, especially in relation to your own conscious understanding we are familiar with.

So what is wrong with these old teachings?

There is nothing wrong with them, they served our present consciousness quite well but will they serve any newer consciousness we come across just as well? Yes and no, my mother in-law is of the old school thinking, you can’t heal people unless it’s through physical means, this is quite understandable because it’s all they know and it did indeed work at times.

Let’s look at the progression of science over time to get a better understanding here. Science evolved from philosophy and mysticism to general science over time, this was a huge step, but now we have newer sciences that a lot of people into general science are unable or wanting to comprehend, this new science is quantum physics. To comprehend quantum physics takes a different conscious understanding which can be for, some people, be way beyond general science understandings; this is due to quantum physics being of a different consciousness than general science, philosophy and mysticism. You could easily say quantum physics is a part of this new consciousness that the Mayans predicted would occur.

To properly understand these new teachings properly, one must be able to become detached from there old teachings, in this case various general science concepts; to me this is no different to becoming detached from old spiritual teachings. This however doesn’t mean all old spiritual teachings become null and void in a new consciousness, like quantum physics, a lot of the old teachings are adapted to fit within this new consciousness, this automatically occurs when taking on and accepting a new way to consciously perceive but only if we detach ourselves from old conscious understandings.

Actually, as we become more accepting of a new consciousness, a lot of the old teachings from the old consciousness change their meaning, in other words we will decipher them differently in the new consciousness, however a lot of old teachings will also have to go to be able to take on any new consciousness’s. We of course don’t have to do this if we don’t want to, we don’t have to evolve like the rest of the universe, this is our right.

The Tranquil Observer

Written by Mathew Naismith

I had the following reply in relation to my last post, “I wish I can be there..... because I love your way and I want it”. This is very understandable, who wouldn’t mind being a tranquil observer; however this isn’t who I am all the times, this is because I tend to most often go with the flow of the moment even if that means being a little chaotic within myself, this is because I don’t judge one state of consciousness being any less worthy than another to experience.  This is important in becoming a tranquil observer,  I  don’t look at consciousness as being about opposing opposites in anyway but consciousness eternally complimenting itself; this also means the chaos within consciousness.   

Before I go on the following was my reply to this person.

G’day Jackson

Become the observer; it’s easier that you might think Jackson as the two links I supplied will explain, As usual I have given two different aspects of becoming an observer, one is psychologically based and the other spiritually based, the reason I do this is our mentality has everything to do with how we will apply in being an observer, in other words it’s important that we have an understanding of our own mentality before trying to become an observer.   

https://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/spycatcher/201201/becoming-great-observer

Extract: Almost twenty years ago, Gavin de Becker wrote The Gift of Fear (link is external), in an effort to warn and educate us about being more observant and aware. He encouraged us to look around and to listen to that that "inner voice," which is really our limbic brain telling us to be careful that something is wrong.

http://goldenageofgaia.com/spiritual-essays/the-path-of-awareness/be-the-observer-2/

Extract: The lesson to become the observer has a much wider application. If we’re to leave behind everything associated with the Third Dimension, then we must have reached a place of completion with everything connected with it. And being the observer is a wonderful way of practicing completion and detachment from it.

I’m not at peace all the times Jackson mainly because this is what I choose to do, however, I can at a drop of a hat go into a total tranquil state only because I can become the observer at the drop of a hat. A lot of people don’t realise, to be in a tranquil state you have to be an observer, they go hand in hand, you can’t have one without the other.  

Give it a shot my friend, you have nothing to lose.  

Observer and Tranquil Observer:There is a difference between an observer and a tranquil observer, an observer will still see opposing opposites but a tranquil observer will only see consciousness complimenting itself that is all, this means accepting chaos complimenting order, love complimenting hate and so on. To be a true tranquil observer, you can’t desire love over hate or visa-versa, this is because any attachments at all lessons our ability to become a tranquil observer.  A tranquil observer means just being an observer without any attachments what so ever. This of course isn’t easy within our present mentality, it has to be one or the other, in other words we have to become attached to hate over love or love over hate, there is no middle ground for us.

There is of course a middle ground, a true balance of opposing opposites; this middle ground is of course being a tranquil observer without any attachments to one thing over another.  

Does this mean the tranquil observer doesn’t, or more precisely, can’t love or hate?

What does a tranquil observer denote, in other words what does one feel when they are truly tranquil?  Peaceful and composed comes to mind, a tranquil state of consciousness also signifies acceptance of whatever is, this is very much in line in going with the flow instead of against it. When we have attachments, we will do anything to keep that attachment which usually means going against the flow, a tranquil observer doesn’t have this problem; there is no problem to start with because there are no attachments.   

So getting back to the question, can tranquil observers love or hate? To start with there is no question of love or hate because there are no opposing opposites, only complimenting consciousness, the question of love or hate doesn’t come into it. If you can understand this, this kind of mentality has more to do with non-duality, there are no opposing opposites just complimenting consciousness, duality on the other hand is all about opposing opposites.

Do I love? Yes off course, this is an acceptable part of being in a conscious reality of duality but when I have such attachments, I am quite aware I am no longer being a tranquil observer, an impartial observer; I once again become a part of the chaos again due to my partial (bias) mentality.  

Everyone in my mind can become, at times, a tranquil observer; all what one has to do is release yourself of all your attachments within that moment of being a tranquil observer.  Is it worth being a tranquil observer for even a short period of time?  I can’t begin to explain the benefits of doing this, you become more aware of your connectedness to universal knowledge for starters, this on its own is utterly mind blowing. The most beautiful thing of learning to be a tranquil observer I feel is you can feel the most heart pounding love through your connectedness through duality, however, you can also, if you wish, feel the most dreadful horrifying hate as well, this after all is what duality is about, consciousness complimenting itself not opposing itself.  

I think there might be a few people who see the connection to this post and my last post; you can begin to see how such states of consciousness, like what we deemed as being God’s and Goddesses, have worked through the ages, in my mind it’s all to with just seeing a complimenting consciousness, not an opposing opposite consciousness. This of course isn’t easy to comprehend only because of our fixated attachments, the consciousness of God’s and Goddesses don’t have this problem I feel.  If we truly want to help ourselves, we need to become aware of this, become the God within ourselves and start creating the reality we truly need to create.

Don’t underestimate yourselves through fixated transitory attachments, become the eternal self.  

The Observing Consciousness

Written By Mathew Naismith

This is why I love other people’s perspective; I found the following statement quite interesting especially in relation to what it was pertaining too.

“There is no god but man. Humanity fails Humanity through conditioning.”

An interesting perspective.

This depends on what we deem as God, the God of man in a religious sense to me is saying man is inferior to an observer, a creator we call God, why are we inferior to something deemed as being divine? Ignorance, I feel if we weren’t so ignorant to our own divine nature, we would realise we are this God.

In my early days I experienced ghosts on a number of occasions so a consciousness exists beyond our state of ignorance for me without a doubt, now we are only talking about a conscious entity that still has fixations to realities of duality, what would conscious entities beyond realities of duality seem like to  ignorant beings? To anything ignorant, these aware and enlightened entities will seem divine and that is fair enough except ignorance is obviously destructive. We can’t keep endlessly destroying so we need to become aware of our own true nature which to me is of this consciousness beyond our ignorance we call God.

To me God isn’t a man or some kind of being/entity, God is a conscious state void of ignorance, concepts and beliefs, anything like this is going to seem divine to anything ignorant to its true nature for a very good reason.

Why do I think we are this God? Ghosts who still have attachments to realities of duality become the observer to a certain extent; now what would an observer who has no such attachments observe? Probably the entirety of all of what is, being an observer also means to be aware through observation. How many times do our guides/ past loved one’s try to influence us and do most often influence us?  At this point we are still only talking about an entity that still has attachments to realities of duality, how would a consciousness beyond attachments (duality) influence us?   

In simple terms, I think God is an observer; it’s a consciousness beyond any kind of ignorance or attachments, the point is we can all become this observer, this consciousness beyond ignorance and attachments.  To any consciousness living in ignorance, is this observer going to seem divine?  It’s undoubtedly quite expected.

If we think on this, what do scientist do? They firstly observe and then they secondly become aware and thirdly often manipulate or influence what they firstly observed, this is man being God through simple observations. Now through these simple observations what has man manipulated/ influenced around him? This manipulation/influencing through observation are on very tiny scale especially when compared to the rest of the universe, what would an observing consciousness observing the universe as a whole manipulate/influence?   

In psychology and spirituality, we are often taught to become the observer, how often do psychologists and spiritualists manipulate/influence other people and environment? Doctors and nurses are another good example of this. The point is, to one extent or another we are observers, the less of an observer you are, the less you will become aware of and the less manipulative/influential you will be. God to me is just an observing consciousness way beyond our ignorant understanding.  Would Neanderthals see us as God’s? Most probably, how we can create fire in so many ways would absolutely flaw them for starters, would we not ourselves be flawed by a much more aware conscious observer? It was inevitable we were going to go down this road, is it a bad or good thing that we define this more aware conscious observer as a divine being?

The problem in idolising something more aware than ourselves, is we will never see ourselves as this more aware observer, this can become quite destructive if we don’t become aware of ourselves being this observer ,remembering, there is truly only one consciousness as all consciousness is interconnected.  Ghosts are a good example of this interconnectedness, even when someone passes on (dies) they are still expressing a form of consciousness, they are still very much connected.   

There is however a very good point to idolising, it’s a good sign we have become aware of a more aware observing consciousness, all we need to do with this awareness is act on it, know that we are ourselves observers and the more aware we become of being an observer, the more of an observer we will be.  

So why doesn’t this conscious observer we call God influence us to become more constructive, why doesn’t this conscious observer save us from ourselves, our own ignorance?

Not all observing consciousness’s influence their environment, when observing a park or beautiful scenery, do we always influence what we observe?  In a peaceful state of tranquillity it is unlikely we will influence anything we are observing even if it’s destructive and chaotic like man, being void of attachments, concepts and beliefs is being in a pure tranquil state. Now it’s unlikely this pure tranquil state of consciousness is going to influence the course of man unless it’s in a very subtle way.  This is like going to a park and observing there is rubbish on the ground, when we pick this rubbish up and throw it in the bin, we are subtly influencing through our own observations.

I certainly don’t believe in the wrath of God, no tranquil consciousness is going to express any form of wrath, we can however influence our own environment to the extent it reacts in a violent way thus we have the wrath of God.  This makes perfect sense because being observers ourselves; we are indeed acting like God’s, in a sense, we are causing our own wrath upon ourselves thus we have the wrath of God/God’s.             

Our conditioning in being the idoliser has kept us being no more of an observer than we were thousands of years ago, however, science has proven we can indeed be of this consciousness we call God, all we have to do now is realise there is no limit to our own observations.  Like I said in previous posts, all ideological concepts and beliefs are worthy as they are all a part of the same jigsaw, the same exact big picture. Religion gives us a clue and so does science to our true nature, all one has to do is see where these ideological concepts and beliefs fit within each other to create the bigger picture. Once we see the bigger picture, we become a much bigger observer and so on it goes.   

Is Humanity Failing Us?

Written by Mathew Naismith

This interesting question came up in a conversation I am presently a part of, in my mind this question should be asked the other way around, “Are we failing humanity?”  This of course poses another question if indeed we are failing humanity, “How are we failing humanity?”  

In the same conversation the following was stated, "The very existence of God too, rests with our Faith and Belief system only." In my mind I think the following replies I gave might just give us an idea why we feel humanity is failing us.  I should be honest here, I don’t follow a religion nor do I exclude any part of consciousness as being unworthy, all of what is, is worthy in one way or another to me.  

I think you are still missing the point here, God, Jesus, Buddha and so on don't actually represent human concepts and beliefs, they actually represent an actual conscious state, it's man who has given this conscious state concepts and beliefs that is amiss here, not the belief in God or Jesus.

Like I said, it's this conscious state of God, Jesus and Buddha that have given rise to concepts and beliefs not the other way around.

Can we do without concepts and belief in a reality of duality? Not if we are ignorant, however this would be quite different if we were aware that all of what is, is consciousness, God's, Jesus, Buddha consciousness, instead of just a concept or a belief.

Religion, science, humanity, social order and so on are all influenced and created by concepts and beliefs only because we are ignorant to what is really behind all our concepts and beliefs.

What I am saying is God isn't man or man's concepts and beliefs but consciousness as a whole, saying that God is just a faith or a belief isn't quite true, this is man's perception of what this God's consciousness is and represents.

Yes, religion has stuffed this up by doing as you are doing, seeing this consciousness just as a faith and/or a belief when it represents a lot more than that. To help ourselves, we need to get past this kind of mentality in misjudging that God just represents a faith and/or a belief, to me it’s far greater than that, Jesus and Buddha were good indications of this but for some reason, probably through disdain brought about by misjudgements, most of us missed this.

I see where you are coming from, you seem to be looking at this through other people’s eyes in relation to God, to these people who are unaware, God represents faith and/or beliefs when it goes much deeper than that, however, within this perception, we just can’t say God is only representative of faith and/or beliefs, this is what I am saying. What connects all religions isn’t faith, doctrines, concepts or beliefs, it’s what God’s consciousness actually represents, pure consciousness void of faith, doctrines, concepts and beliefs.  Within this God’s consciousness, there is no separation of the collective, in other words God’s consciousness represents a complete wholeness void of any separation of consciousness.

 The following reply of mine was in direct response to the question, “Is Humanity Failing Us?

Is humanity failing us or are we failing humanity through our bias judgements like with religion and God for example?

I should state I don't myself follow any religious order or doctrines and I don't believe in a God of man, actually I try to avoid other people's ideological concepts and beliefs altogether, why? Because I know they take me away from knowing that everything in existence comes from consciousness, God's consciousness if you like.

So what do I follow? Anything that isn't encumbered by ideological concepts and beliefs, anything that teaches that everything within existence is of one source which we call God, not numerous sources of consciousness.  Ideological concepts and beliefs separate this whole consciousness up into smaller parts of this whole conciseness which we call a reality of duality. I try to avoid this and the best way to avoid this is to avoid continually separating ideological concepts and beliefs, in other words by not just seeing these ideological concepts and beliefs as just ideological concepts and beliefs but a whole consciousness. All we are doing through misjudgements is separating consciousness even more I feel.  

Fig.1

Fig.2

This is why I look at this reality of duality as a jigsaw puzzle, at the moment it’s segregated by our individual concepts and beliefs as in Fig 1, this is because we see our own concepts and beliefs as being different to everybody else’s  when in fact they are connected as fig,2  illustrates. Fig, 2 represents connectedness of this fragmentation of separate concepts and beliefs, it’s no longer separated but all connected through knowing all of what is, is as one through one source of consciousness as the completed jigsaw, fig, 2, illustrates.  

So basically what I am saying is, the reason we feel humanity is failing us, or why we are failing humanity, is because of our separateness when there truly is no separateness, all our concepts and beliefs are whole as fig, 2 illustrates in my mind, it’s a collective consciousness. We should be so grateful for being a part of such a consciousness but you can only feel grateful if you see it as a collective consciousness, not a divided chaotic consciousness.  

PS. It has been pointed out that I have a number of miss-spelt words within my blog, this actually isn’t the case. I’m spelling my words in accordance with the Australian spelling standards, not in accordance with the US spelling standards, this is my choice.  

   

Consciousness Creating Our Journeys

Written by Mathew Naismith

Life is no more than a journey taken by consciousness; it takes consciousness to be aware of such journeys for a journey to exist.

I thought of this quote while conducting myself on a humanitarian Google community.

Can journeys, or life experiences, occur without being aware of them? You would probably say yes but they can’t unless some form of consciousness is aware of them, does this mean conscious awareness creates such journeys in the first place?  If so, this would mean consciousness exists beyond the human brain/mind; this is due to consciousness creating such journeys in the first place through it’s own awareness.  

This would all mean that if any form of consciousness wasn’t aware of the universe, the journey or evolution of the universe wouldn’t exist?  This sounds awfully lame and quite unbelievable.

There are two possibilities here, one, the universe exists without consciousness being aware of it or two,  the universe can only exist through a consciousness being aware of such journeys in the first place for the universe to exist, in other words it’s consciousness’s awareness of such a journey that created the universe.

Let’s now look at how human consciousness works; everything humans create is through consciousness, nothing can exist unless it’s through conscious thought which creates the journey through awareness of being able to create from consciousness in the first place. Now look back at the universe which is much more of a creation than man has ever created, isn’t it possible that the universe, like man’s consciousness, created the universe through consciousness but on a massive scale?  

Man’s creation = creates journey like cars, houses, roads, metals and so on, each creation is a journey of what is being created like a car for instance, it has a starting and ending point of existence very much like the universe. 

The creative consciousness’s creation = creates journeys like the universe and everything within the universe.

Man cannot create anything without a conscious being aware of how to create a journey like a car, is it not also the same with the entire universe, isn’t it likely that a consciousness created the universe if  everything man has created and is aware of is only due to consciousness, an awareness of how to create a journey?  

Does this mean we are talking about God creating the universe? No, God represents a divine entity or source, God can’t be divine to us if we are all of this consciousness, if we are all of this divineness. However for divines to exist, there has to be sources of energy that is less than divine, this isn’t the case if we are all of this consciousness beyond the human brain/mind. The only reason we have a God is because we are in a delusion to our true being, nothing is truly above or below another.  

This however isn’t saying we weren’t created from a conscious source, going by man’s consciousness and how everything that man has created and is aware of is through consciousness, it is most likely we are all created from a conscious source, we are all journeys of an awareness through a consciousness being aware of such journeys as ourselves and the universe.  

Vibrational Energy Flows

Written by Mathew Naismith

Bugger, I wanted to add Sal C’s reply but this would make this post a little too long. This post was brought about by my interactions with Sal C so you can blame Sal C for what I wrote here, only joking J.  

Actually your reply Sal C is just a slightly different perception than what I have of what reality is, am I right, are either of us right???

In a human perspective it's real because we think this is all we are. As we become aware we realise it's not all we are, does this make our existence in this reality an illusion?  Yes and no.  In a human perspective, because we have now become aware of a much greater aware part of ourselves, this is what we want to be in totality, to me it’s psychologically based, we want to psychologically believe we are this more wondrous and aware self, full stop, however I believe there is another reason why we perceive that realities are illusions.  

The simplest way I can put this is that this pure consciousness in it’s total motionless state dreams, in turn we and realities are only a process of this dream state, this goes along with what is above is also blow, this makes perfect sense to me.  

There is a problem with this, I don’t believe our own dream states are an illusion, no there not real as such but there not illusions either, many of my dreams are telling or teaching me something. You could in this case look at dreams from this pure consciousness as doing the same, dreams are trying to tell this conciseness something  about itself and if it’s about itself is it a true illusion?

There is something else to consider, to me everything is energy, to exist this energy vibrates and the more this energy vibrated the more it creates, we and realities are a process of this vibrations of energy, the less we vibrate within ourselves the more in tune we are with this pure awareness. People have totally disappeared because they changed their vibrations that much they no longer resonated with realities like this one.  You could say they became a higher vibration through vibrating less, the disappearance of the Mayans are a prime example of this. There are also people out there that can disappear and appear at will just by changing their vibrational energy flow, this is also how healers heal, through vibrations.

The way I look at it is we are this pure consciousness but this consciousness is also energy, everything is energy including you and I and everything to do with realties, this in my view doesn’t truly make everything of realities an illusion. Yes the energy flow changes vibration, for example, being born and dying is a change of this energy flow, just because this energy flow changes it’s vibrations does this change make everything of realities an illusion?

To me no because no matter what this energy changes into it’s still energy, yes it’s vibrating at a different rate but it’s still none the less energy.

Let’s look at this in another way, you burn a tree, does this then make the tree an illusion because you changed it’s energy flow to another vibrational rate?  

What is accruing is we can become delusional in thinking this is all we are or thinking this pure motionless consciousness is all we are, we seem to be in my mind replacing one delusion with another as we become aware but this is only my perspective, don’t take this seriously.

There is also another perspective to consider which a lot of people acknowledge, this pure consciousness is nothingness, it isn’t energy it isn’t consciousness it’s nothingness, however,  this view/concept isn’t in line with the saying, “What is above is also below”, this is important because most other view/concept fall in line with what is above is also below.  How can you produce energy and consciousness out of nothingness?

Why I believe some of us perceive this pure consciousness is actually nothingness is because it is very motionless, in this state it’s as if, to a human, it is nothingness. I think taking on this view is due to ourselves perceiving from a highly vibrative state of vibratory flow to a seemingly totally motionless state that doesn’t seemingly vibrate.  Now if we looked at this from this pure consciousness to a highly vibrative state such as realities, would we perceive this pure consciousness as being nothingness?  I don’t think we would, because we can only perceive through a high vibratory flow rate, anything with a much lower vibration like this pure awareness is going to seem psychologically totally still, nothingness.   

To me everything was created through vibrations and the faster these energy vibrations are vibrating, the more they create, for example you and I and this reality in my mind were created form energy vibrations vibrating at a higher rate.  Take healing for an example; healers heal through vibrations by changing the energy flow of the vibrational rate of what is being healed.  

Vibration denote energy, is this saying that this pure consciousness energy flow isn’t very powerful through not vibrating at a higher rate?  Yes and no, it’s not really that powerful until it vibrates at a higher rate, you and I and this reality are prime examples of this power or greatness, this is why I think psychologically we  get hooked on power .  The strange thing is, this pure consciousness or pure energy isn’t that powerful within itself but through us and this reality it is. 

This is why I believe true spiritualists let go of all intentions of power or otherwise, it brings them closer to this pure seemingly totally motionless energy flow, pure consciousness or awareness.  To me all this pure consciousness or awareness is, is energy either vibrating at an extremely low rate or a high rate or something in between, it’s still energy, this is why I don’t think you and I and this reality are an illusion it’s all energy no matter what it changes into. We just can't perceive ourselves as just being conscious  energy no matter what creation we take on.   

Please don’t take what I have stated as being absolute, how would anything vibrating at such a high rate perceive anything, to any extent, that is vibrating at a very low rate such as this pure consciousness?  We in this state of a high vibrational rate can only presume/speculate.      

Is God’s Consciousness Objective or Subjective

Written by Mathew Naismith

I should point straight out that this is a scientific/psychological way in looking at this question, this doesn’t infer that every other concept, religious/spiritual or not, is incorrect. This however is going to upset a number of people who believe God is just all loving, this is only my view and shouldn’t be taken personally, we all have our own views that don’t fit in with other people’s views, it’s no big deal.

I stated in my last post, “This however doesn’t mean objective consciousness doesn’t play a part in creating a reality; the objective consciousness gives a bases for subjective consciousness to create from.

What is this objective consciousness that gives subjective consciousness to create from?  In my view it’s what many call God.  What I mean by objective is this objective consciousness is unbiased; it has no preference of one over the other which also means it can neither be of love nor hate.  This is inferring that God isn’t of love, so where does this love come from?  From ourselves and each other by having intentions to either express love or hate. 

By being subjective we are the one’s doing the creating however we don’t at this point in time physically create universes as such, this means we are not the creator  but only a part of the creator. What is this creator?  To me it’s objective energy without intentions but without subjective consciousness it can’t create so how could this objective consciousness be the creator?

It’s not, not on it’s own, it needs interaction of energy to create like matter and anti-matter for instance, however, I think without this objective unbiased consciousness we wouldn’t have anything to create from.  It would seem all forms and sources of energy is the creator not one particular energy source either it be objective or subjective.  This actually makes this objective and subjective energy we call God a super consciousness not just a God of man.  We seem to have taken this objective or subjective as this God instead of looking at both objective and subjective conciseness energy sources as God, the creator of all.   

It makes sense to why we would take an unbiased (objective) consciousness as being of this God, in this state it has no bias or prejudice, it’s quite impartial, this explains why human can do as they do, be expressive of any kind of emotion either it be constructive or destructive.   

Now in certain religious/spiritual concepts and beliefs, God is all loving so God can’t be just objective consciousness (unbiased) to be all loving; this means God would have to be subjective (bias) instead of objective.  I don’t think this is the case for the main reason we are able to be expressive of all of what consciousness is either it be destructive or constructive.

So which one is this God’s consciousness, subjective or objective?  To be all loving it’s subjective but to be unbiased it’s objective, however, if we bring together these two different concepts of God together from different religions and spiritual beliefs, we actually end up with a super consciousness of neither one or the other but all of what is.   

Does this also mean this God’s consciousness is of hate? Only through our own interactions but it’s also of love through our own interaction, this is why I think it’s important to understand our intentions which determine our interactions which again determine what kind of reality or existence we will experience.   If we all truly believe God is all loving, that is the kind of reality we would experience, this of course hasn’t happened, this is wholly due to our intentions while believing God is all loving.  To believe in God you had to believe in particular religious concepts, this is where I believe our intentions have interfered with creating a more loving existence; we have disdain for other religious concepts and doctrines. This of course has determined our intentions which have created numerous wars and conflicts.

In all it’s all up to us what we create from this super consciousness, becoming aware of our intentions is vital for us to create a reality that is going to be more harmonious. I think we need to understand and become aware of our intention more than anything, a good start is to ask yourselves are my intentions subjective or objective or both?
