Most people today continue to speak about what is or what they consider to be the world we experience around us. But, what is this consciousness? Is this what people refer to when they attempt to describe the world around us?
Consciousness is an elusive yet manifest spiritual experience. The experiences that people, spiritual beings, and all people have had through out the centuries range from ecstasy to bliss. There is no single image or name that best captures all that we know and experience. Awareness or consciousness tends to be experienced as a blending of sensations discovered during our very own life and since the beginning of time.
Consciousness or awareness is referred to in Buddhist texts as the “hungry awareness,” and the root of this name is hounding and a sense of endlessness. In the literal meaning of the word, which is “the state of being acutely aware,” the idea of the hungry awareness is developed. That hungry awareness lies in the immediate present and it is the only place to witness our experience because this is all we have. This awareness softens and smoothes our experience and often allows for experiences to be exceedingly naked.
When experiencing the awareness or consciousness in this state, time is not important and what is experienced is timeless. Throughout this experience, nothing goes from one state to another to any kind of order. When in this consciousness or awareness, our sensory experiences impede one another. We experience vibrations in the brain, stimulus in the fundamental energy field, and feelings in our heart. We experience like a multidimensional being and we are aware of being both conscious and in a state of consciousness.
As a result of our energy and our vibration in this state, we are aware of intuitions or knowledge. In this state, we are not relaxed in a clinical sense. We are relaxed rather than relaxed but we are not asleep. Remember that relaxed is not the same as sleep. Our consciousness is more awake in the awakened state of consciousness than in a sleep state. Our consciousness is a state of consciousness in which we can access information about what is necessary to an outcome.
We do not have to work hard to obtain this state. It is a spiritual state of consciousness accessible to everyone. How do we access consciousness? We access consciousness by slowing down our thoughts. To access consciousness, we simply slow down our thoughts. The process of slowing down our thoughts involves listening to the voice or the inner voice as we call it. When we slow down our thoughts and let go of judgments about whether something is good or bad, good or evil, all kinds of information and an outcome is revealed.
When we experience something whether it is good or bad, do we justify it or do we not accept it? Do we justify it through the fact that it is not new or is it new? We justify our experience we believe in through our beliefs or opinions that we have developed over the years. The decision to believe or not believe is our judgment and it is how we define our consciousness.
Imagine loosening the bonds around the ego and releasing all the emotional attachments that are attached to our opinions about ourselves and our experiences. Letting the ego and the self go free to be with all experiences for the rest of the soul’s journey and make this a part of our daily experience. This is the kind of freedom that is available to the spiritual students and this process begins with the intention that we will start to practice this again. The principles of Oneness and the experience of our own state of consciousness all lay on the understanding that there is nothing outside of ourselves. Letting go, trusting and surrendering to this, we ultimately return to our access to self and our experience of who we are.
This is the way consciousness lives within this experience of the Awareness at Every- STEP – Self-Realization Through telescope Experience.
