I feel something happening within the human race. Our thoughts weather they are negative or positive effect the plane of existence that we are on.
While talking to some of my friends about their problems and there feelings of anxiety, anger, despair, hatred towards the world. I try to bring some positive in their thinking. I try to do this because I believe we are one mass consciousness. Our thoughts affect the Universe. Every person who thinks in a positive way, who thinks of LOVE, is bringing the entire mass consciousness to a higher level.
“If you realized how powerful your thoughts are, you would never think a negative thought.” If more people realized and practiced this there would be a shift in the plane of existence and mass consciousness towards enlightenment and peace.
I know what your probably thinking…. That I am crazy, but think about it. Go back to high school science. Everything is made out of atoms which give off energy. So everything has energy or a vibration to it. Each vibration affects the things that surround it. Our thoughts affect how we feel, how are body reacts and much more, so why not our vibration that we give off to the world? Of course our energy or vibration changes depending on what we are thinking. Haven’t you ever felt tension in a room when people are being hostel towards eachother? You were feeling their energy they were giving off and it was probably negative.
It is absurd to limit our thinking that humans are different than anything else on this earth. We are all connected to eachother and everything by the vibrations or energy that is given off. It is also absurd to think that humans and all living beings have stopped evolving. All species have evolved over time with different physical characteristics. That has not stopped. We are always changing and evolving and that vibrational plane has a lot to do with how and what we evolve into.
If this sounds a little sci-fiction to you, don’t worry your not close minded you might just be afraid to see what is inside yourself and how you affect the rest of the world. Or maybe your life situation has gotten you so stressed out that you thinking about this or reading further is just a waste of time. If this is how you feel while reading this then you are the one that should read further the most.
You cannot change others. You can only change yourself and how you think and look at the world. One person thinking there is no hope; that we are doomed, that the world is coming to an end, brings down the mass consciousness. However, one person visualizing clean oceans, and rivers, food and housing healthcare for everyone, freedom to express, freedom to be, religions, countries and neighbors living in acceptance of others and harmony with all living things, changes the whole mass consciousness to a higher vibration. Your thoughts, your feelings, your way of being, affects everyone else.
What ultimately all humans, no matter what religion or background we come from, are working towards is enlightenment or to regain awareness of Being. Maybe that is what we are all evolving into. The word enlightenment conjures up the idea of the superhuman accomplishments and the ego likes to keep that way, bit it is simply your natural state of feeling oneness with Being. It is a state of connectedness with something immeasurable and indestructible, something that almost paradoxically is essentially you and yet is much greater than you. It is finding your true nature beyond name and form. It is rising above thought and seeing your true self.
The first step towards this enlightenment is being in the present moment.
When we are in the present moment internal dialogue will begin to subside. When these gaps occur a feeling of stillness and peace inside comes. As soon as you honor the present moment all unhappiness and struggle dissolve and life begins to flow with joy and ease. This is the beginning of the natural state of feeling oneness with Being which is usually blocked by the mind and ego. By continuing to be in the present moment we can increase our inner connectedness, and will be much more alert, more awake than in the ego mind states. You will be fully present. It also raises the vibrational frequency of the energy field that gives life to the physical body. When one person raises their vibrational frequency it affects everyone and everything around them and eventually more people will raise their frequency and so on.
The inability to connect may cause a feeling of separation from yourself from the rest of the world instead of being a part of everything and everything being connected to eachother. When that happens fear arises and conflicts problems become the norm. Fear has many forms such as unease, worry, anxiety, nervousness, tension, dread, phobia etc. Basically when these emotions are felt your mind is in the future while you are here and now. You can always cope with the present moment, but suffering occurs when we try to cope with something the mind is projecting for the future or the past.
“As we grow up we form a mental image of who we are based on your personal and cultural conditioning, called the ego. It’s simply mind activity or constant thinking or a false self created by unconscious identification with the mind. To the ego the present moment hardly exists. Only the past and the future are considered important. In ego mode the mind is always concerned with keeping the past alive because without it – who are you? It constantly projects itself into the future to ensure its existence by thoughts of “one day” Even when the ego seems to be concerned with the present its not the present it sees. It misperceives it completely because it looks at it though eyes of the past. Or it reduces the present to a means to an end and end that always is in the future. To the ego death is always around the corner. When we feel fear like fear of loss, fear of failure, of being hurt is ultimately the fear the ego has of death of extinction. ” (Tolle)
You may find it hard to believe or recognize that time is the cause of your suffering or your problems. You believe they are caused by specific situations in your life, which is true depending on how you look at it. But until you have dealt with the basic problem making dysfunction of the mind, its attachment to past and future and denial of the NOW… problems are actually interchangeable. (Tolle)
The more you focus on time the past and the future the more you miss the NOW, the most precious thing there is. It’s the only thing, its where you whole life unfolds the one factor that remains constant. LIFE IS NOW! Now is the only point that can take you beyond the limited confines of the mind and ego. It’s a point of access into the timeless and formless realm of being. (Tolle)
Start with yourself and the plane of human consciousness will begin to shift!!!!
For more information on practicing the being in the NOW you can do many different things:
-Read the book “Practicing the Power of Now” by Eckhart Tolle. Who I have referenced in this blog. The author also talks about how being in the NOW can help relationships, transform illnesses and suffering which I really didn’t talk about in this blog.
-Practice yoga, mediation, or anything else that will allow you to focus fully on yourself, but remember to let go of your ego, past and future.
Talk to others about it.
Spread the word and raise plane of consciousness.
Namaste.
With love Nicole
