The ego sense of selfhood we spend most of our lives in, would probably blow a fuse if it was to suddenly experience an all-encompassing, planetary level of conscious awareness. This could be compared to how we might imagine the brain of a goldfish suddenly being infused with the consciousness of a human being. The larger, beyond ego experiences that many of us experience in life such as deja vu, lucid dreaming, telepathy, intuition, coincidence, premonition, or even out of body experiences, suggests that the conscious awareness of human beings is probably stepped down for life on earth, rather like electrical voltage is stepped down through transformers for domestic consumption in the home. Transformers to step up or down our consciousness are both within and around us on earth…whether transformers of a negative nature, or alternately those transformers that uplift us such as Truth, non-attachment, genuine love, and mindfulness. Obviously if we were a more aware being before we incarnated, then to step down our level of consciousness in order to come here would mean that we did so as a conscious choice. We can only speculate that this choice was made for reasons of deepening or increasing our level…read more…

Through travel to new destinations where we can explore beyond our habitualised lives, we have the opportunity, freedom, and fresh attention to negotiate different paths by which we may cross to a deeper understanding and meaning of ourselves and of our role in life. And within this freedom, we may even experience moments of serendipity, synchronicity or deja-vu that can reveal greater truth’s beyond.

One day while meeting with a friend, I noticed that he had a shiny mountaineer’s carabiner upon which he attached his household keys. I casually mentioned to him that if it somehow came into someone’s possession 500 years ago, it would have been considered a miraculous device. And similarly if it came into someone’s possession 500 years from now, it would be treasured as an antique from the 21st century. But today it is considered ordinary. Yet the only difference between 500 years past or 500 years into the future is how it is perceived and treasured. In other words the “treasuring” aspect increases our ability to perceive it as valuable. Today, how much do we treasure the seeming ordinary in our lives? In 500 years or less someone else may look upon our perceived ordinary things as valued treasure. The same of course can also be said for all things animate that surround us, such as plants, animals, nature, people and those we love. Our ability to treasure is also our ability to discover a deeper truth and awareness.

The trials in our lives cannot reasonably be there to oppress us, but rather to give pause and meaning, so that we may contemplate our inner life, where we can find stillness, harmony, deep love and deep truth. And there to realise a larger, more boundless view, where we find peace, freedom and connection with our true nature.

The overviewing outlook of the observer soul, seems to soar infinitely above the trivialities of our limited ego perspective. Whenever we are caught in trivialities, we have forgotten something profoundly true about our essence.

Our true nature is something that many of us have a profound experience of at some point in our life. Our true nature appears to be above and beyond our limited manifestation of ego and personality. It is a noble, deep presence, that intimately knows us, as well as our life’s lessons, particularly those lessons around love and truth, which are often highlighted or made more evident in our lives, and therefore our true nature appears to be aligned with the observer soul. When we first experience our true nature, it may occur through an initiating, and sometimes transcendental experience of some kind such as meditation, mindfulness, deja vu, lucid dreaming, telepathy, intuition, coincidence, premonition, or even an out of body experience, all of which indicate that we can experience a sense of awareness above and beyond our individual ego. Essentially our true nature occurs when we are most coherent, most connected, and most aware. It is our highest expression of a greathearted, noble state.

To trust requires that we respect, appreciate and regard highly. From this comes confidence, where we expect our trust to be fulfilled. Having such confidence means that we can act with greater assurance. This assurance likewise creates and makes us dependable to others.

The truth contains a state of oneness rather than ambiguity. The state of oneness cannot be negated, though the ego may attempt to do so. Only when duality arises is there separation and the possibility of conflict, and therefore the appearance of untruth.
