“As above, so below, as within, so without, as the universe, so the soul…” – Hermes Trismagistus

Cosmic consciousness is a term that was first coined in 1901 in the book Cosmic Consciousness: A Study in the Evolution of the Human Mind by Richard Maurice Bucke, and became popularized through the teachings of Deepak Chopra.

It is defined as:

“Cosmic consciousness, a consciousness of the life and order of the universe which is possessed by few men at present.

It is a further stage of human evolution which will be reached by all humanity in the future.”

Some may also refer to this concept as Pantheism, which is the belief “that the universe (or nature as the totality of everything) is identical with divinity, or that everything composes an all-encompassing, immanent God.”

While the current state of consciousness that dictates our reality still tends to anthropomorphize God in an attempt to relate to “the-all-that-is,” it is through digging deeper and connecting the dots of what we see and what we cannot “see” that we can find what God may truly mean.

In naval warfare, a “false flag” refers to an attack where a vessel flies a flag other than their true battle flag before engaging their enemy. It is a trick, designed to deceive the enemy about the true nature and origin of an attack.

In the democratic era, where governments require at least a plausible pretext before sending their nation to war, it has been adapted as a psychological warfare tactic to deceive a government’s own population into believing that an enemy nation has attacked them.

In the 1780s, Swedish King Gustav III was looking for a way to unite an increasingly divided nation and raise his own falling political fortunes. Deciding that a war with Russia would be a sufficient distraction but lacking the political authority to send the nation to war unilaterally, he arranged for the head tailor of the Swedish Opera House to sew some Russian military uniforms...

Forgiveness is a concept many people struggle with. Most people want to forgive, but they fear if they do it will leave them open to experience hurt again. They think the act of forgiveness is foolish, or somehow condoning what happened to them.

When you refuse to forgive for whatever reason, you are keeping yourself in the energy of what wounded you. You are choosing to keep the energy of having been victimized active. It ties you to the very thing you never wish to experience again.

What if you substituted the word forgiveness for release? What if you chose to release the entire situation? Because that is truly what the act of forgiveness does – it lets go of what is unwanted and chooses a new energy moving forward. It lightens your load and moves you back into your own empowerment. ~Archangel Gabriel

One of the most essential teachings of Celtic spirituality is that the natural world is radiantly alive and sentient. To walk among trees is to reconnect with our deep ancestral roots in the forest. To look through the spiraling branches of a giant redwood is to contemplate a living mandala; to gaze at the colors of a maple in autumn is to witness the ever-changing canvas of a sublime artist.

Trees can help clear our minds from the frenzy of our fast-track lives, inspire our thoughts, calm our emotions and fill us with serenity. They are elders on this planet who embody an ineffable wisdom that they will share with us if we but seek it out. I find that just a short while spent in the presence of certain trees can make me feel soothed and relaxed, as if the tree itself is gently helping me put my fears and anxieties into a broader perspective...

“Matter”: it’s what atoms and molecules are made up of. On the physical material level, it’s what all physical objects are made up of; it is everything that surrounds us and anything that has mass and volume. When scientists attempt to gain a better understanding of the nature of our reality, matter is what they look to. However, when scientists observe matter at the smallest possible level, they are left with more questions than answers. This is thanks to the fact that a tiny piece of matter, like a photon, or an electron, can exist in multiple possible states (as a “wave”) even though it is one single particle… which makes absolutely no sense.

“We choose to examine a phenomenon which is impossible, absolutely impossible, to explain in any classical way, and which has in it the heart of quantum mechanics. In reality, it contains the only mystery.” (1) Richard Feynman, a Nobel laureate of the twentieth century

“Thoughts are like feathers, floating through your mind your presence doesn’t waiver. That is true awareness.”

Raising your consciousness, really just means becoming more self aware. Awareness is the key. By being more in tune with your thoughts, feelings and emotions you can expand your perception of reality. Raising your consciousness involves stretching your mind beyond your comfort zone to enter into a deeper sense of understanding. That understanding is by seeing for yourself that we are all connected and we are all one. From an atom to a galaxy everything is connected.

If you are feeling conditioned to your thoughts, separated from others, or just stuck in life. Then it would be wise to take a look at these

Peace can sometimes be so far away, and inner bliss… even farther away.

Take the time now to spend some real quality time by going within. Find that sense of peace that lies within. Visit the place where inner bliss dwells and waits patiently for your return.

Let yourself unwind and compose yourself for a few precious moments of peace. Remember that your mind is much more far-reaching than your physical brain. Your mind, as consciousness, is nonphysical, while your brain is just the physical translator of your consciousness.

Your mind, therefore, always has the ability to tell your brain;

“Shsh! It’s meditation time!”
