Radiation of Consciousness

Spirituality
#1

Spiritual practice (and evolution) does not only benefit you, it benefits everyone on the earth…and beyond.

At first glance this will seem like a profound statement, yet it is truth. A single period of meditation results in lasting changes in our awareness. Indeed, every single thought that arises in the mind has an effect on all - because we are all spiritually interconnected at the most fundamental level of being. The mean consciousness of the earth at any given time is a result of the collective of consciousness of every single being on the planet, and a change in one effects a change in all. So you see, every individual who engages in practices to evolve spiritually through such practices as meditation, pranayama, prayer, etc., benefits no only him or herself, but everyone. The more selfless we become, in the most literal sense (the more we diminish the illusion of a limited, separate ego, or I-sense), the greater the extent to which we are of service to humanity. In other words, the radiation of the divinity within us is commensurate with the extent to which we are able to free ourselves from ego-consciousness. Anyone who has been in the presence of a saint or other spiritually elevated being will understand this upon reflection. They radiate peace, blissfulness and joy. We receive blessings simply by being near them. It is why all scriptures place great emphasis on keeping holy company. The mind cannot even conjure impure thoughts in the presence of such a being. Their very existence uplifts us all. Anyone who truly understands this will also understand the importance of choosing one’s company carefully.

Current times are seeing great changes upon the earth. These changes are necessary in order to jar us out of our old way of life…a way of living that is toxic to both the earth as well as ourselves. The earth is a living organism to which we are inextricably linked/connected, and the pollution of one body affects the other. As the tempo of these changes continues, many will become quite fearful, but those who are preparing themselves spiritually will weather this transition rather smoothly. Indeed, they will welcome the changes because such individuals know intuitively that the old way of life must not - cannot, continue.

Let theses earth changes occur naturally and have no fear. If we simply continue our efforts to expand our awareness of the limitless consciousness within ourselves in the present moment (which is all we ever have), we will realize that our Essence is indestructible, eternal, and changeless. When the dynamic changes that are re-sculpting the earth have settled, we will find ourselves in a higher State, and we will perceive the “body” with which we had previously identified ourselves (whether the earth or physical body) as no more than one atom of awareness in a universe of millions.

Oh wow! I like this post a lot :slight_smile:
I’ve been thinking about things like this lately. Partly because there’s this lady, and she loves to watch me dance, she’s a dance instructor, but I dance wherever I go, I randomly dance and am self taught. She applauds me and radiates this immense joy. And I can’t help but dance when I see her and after she parts, I feel as though she planted a seed from the sun in my heart.
And sometimes, I feel like I might have that effect on others because, people I don’t know will come pick me out of a crowd to chat with me and talk to me like we’ve been friends forever. They tell me how happy they are around me, like I radiate sunlight. It’s been this way for a few years.
I’ve been wanting to meet people full of positivity lately and I have been! :smiley:
I know I’m nowhere near as full of light as I potentially could be :slight_smile: But it’s nice to know it sounds like I’m going in the right direction

Whilst the sentiment of this is uplifting and positive…in reality, the new Aquarian age which is close to fix, will present both a positive and a negative impact on the world and we are seeing this already[I] beginning[/I]
For many people there will be a tragic outcome across various parts of the world and we need to remember that it isn’t going to be good for many and they will feel fear and pain.

The Aquarian age will not tolerate established religions from the old age, for long…this is just one of the things to face…so there will be a lot of turmoil, anarchy and the potential for wars. Anything that is currently deemed as a dictatorship, will fall…but the Aquarian age will want to control humanity, so there will be a new world dictatorship.

The new order will place great emphasis on helping all those who are suffering in some way but not with established religious assistance or beliefs…
Community spirit will be encouraged more and more…

Spying will play a huge part, the Aquarian age is about revealing all the secrets of mankind…a greater understanding of mankind will come into play along the way but at the cost of what will feel like an invasion of privacies.
An example of this cropped up today, the I Phones have a hidden file that tracks everywhere you have been…it takes a couple of minutes to see the results…it covers the world…my son could see everywhere he has been for two years.

Each age has a positive and a negative…every time…

I believe it will be the end of the Dharma, as we know it…

Serenity: The nature of our vibration or state of consciousness emanates from us in a number of ways, all of which are perceptible to others (sometimes consciously and at other times, unconsciously). We all are attracted to a beautiful voice, for example, because such a voice has a spiritual quality to it (for example, the melodious voice of a singer). I have met many yogis and have yet to meet a true yogi with a hoarse or croaking voice. Another way that we express our consciousness is through movement. Artists, for example, are often very sensitive, spiritual people (this need not be in a religious sense). You are a spiritual soul, and the dance instructor of which you speak is attracted to your spiritual movement, often unbeknownst to you. She is admiring your grace, and may well be unaware of the reason that watching you brings her joy. Dancing is a very natural and spiritual expression - in fact, it is an expression of the soul’s joy. Because joy is our birthright, our true nature, it needs no excuse or reason. How beautiful a thing to give joy to another person while doing something that we enjoy! :slight_smile:

Thank you, Karen, for your response.

It is true what you say, that every have has positive and negative. The very nature of maya is indicative of duality. But our true aim is to realize the Self, which transcends all ages and relativity.

It is also true that the old established religions will crumble. In fact, this process had already begun. This is natural, for as beings become more and more aware, they are waking up to the fact the religions only serve to create more boundaries and separation between us…a result which is antithetical to the very purpose for which they were created ? which is to united us with That which transcends all bonds, labels, and limiting factors. It is enough to know that God is pure consciousness, eternal and indestructible, and that we, are children of God.

Indeed, those who belong to the old order (for lack of a better term), will continue to resist these changes to the end because they are wedded to greed and power (and these, even in the name of religion) and will fight tooth and nail to try and hold on to this perceived control/power. But the decision regarding these change is not theirs to make, and their attempts to fight the inevitable will be in vain.

Regarding the world changes being painful, difficult, and causing suffering, consider what it is like watching a loved one in the throes of a nightmare. As we watch them (even with compassion), we are aware of the fact that to them, the suffering they are going through seems very real. But we also know that as soon as they awaken, all the suffering will be seen as being as real as blueness in the sky. This process is about spiritual awakening, and when we do awaken, we will see that there is no such thing as death. This cosmic light show is like the images seen on the screen at the cinema ? ultimately no one gets hurt, no one dies. Some are meant to transition into the new age, and some are not. But know that the loss of the body (especially in the name of spiritual advancement) is no loss at all. We are eternal and indestructible.

Namaste! :slight_smile:
