How Can We Awaken Consciousness?

By Aurora Clawson Guest Writer for SoulScience

To Awaken one’s Consciousness is what all of our lifetimes lead to.  It is the process of letting go of the conclusions about reality and who we are that we learn in the world, and awakening to greater truth that lies within.

Our minds are very powerful.  We empower that which we focus upon.  To focus upon the limitations we have learned in the world is the mechanic by which we remained imprisoned within them.  We are taught to identity ourselves with our reactions to the world and what we accomplish in the world.  We are taught to identify ourselves with our momentary thoughts, and to define ourselves by our experiences.  This is extremely erroneous, and it is this mechanic that creates all of the suffering in our lives, and cumulatively in this world.

Be like the Ocean

Much of the time you are using a microscope in your view of life on Earth. Incorporate a telescope into your vision. Add to your view. Take a look at the big picture. Look at a wide swath of life. You will gain greater insight. You will not be so caught up with one portion of life. You will gain greater insight and a greater outlook and vision.

It is not the end of the world when your child flunks a test. Surely, you must know that. Yet, in your household, what you make of a flunked test may be seriously disproportional. You may make way too much of it. It’s unwise to make too much of anything.

This is what most of My children on Earth are doing all the time. Oh, that scratch on your new car. That car, no matter how beautiful and new as it is now, is going to wind up in a junk yard. How world-shaking is that scratch now really? If you want to be upset by something, there are bigger fish to fry.

Please understand. When I say, even when you are on the verge of your body’s dying, I mean to put it all in place for you. It’s not really the big deal it so overwhelmingly seems to be. I am not diminishing your feelings. Death simply isn’t the tragedy everyone thinks it is. Nothing tragic has happened. That something is tragic is your idea. That you don’t want this to happen, I am well aware.

How The Bankers Created The Unrest In Baltimore

Wells Fargo Is Baltimore’s Real Looter

Wall Street created the nightmare economic context of the unrest in Baltimore. You don’t need to have watched The Wire, one of the greatest dramas in American television history, to know that Baltimore has some rough neighborhoods. But things got a lot worse when the subprime mortgage crisis blew up in 2008. The wealth destroyed by some of the biggest banks foisting predatory loans on unsuspecting, unprotected consumers was staggering, and triggered the Great Recession. Baltimore was hit particularly hard, and around the Baltimore area, the black community was specifically and intentionally targeted for these predatory loans. The resulting implosion dialed the black community’s wealth back to Segregation-era levels.

The subprime mortgage fraud was the biggest blow to the black community’s wealth since Civil Rights. About a dozen banks were charged with foisting bad loans onto black people. Wells Fargo was one of the worst offenders in the Baltimore area. According to testimony by Beth Jacobs, formerly one of Wells Fargo’s top loan officers, reported in the New York Times, the practice was overtly racist...

When it is a question of getting into one's own being, why does man keep clinging to the surface? It is out of fear; depth needs courage. You will have to dive deep.

Forgive Your Parents, Forgive Yourself.

There are questions which, depending on someone's current state of consciousness cannot be answered with the rational mind. Trying to rationalise some of the actions of our parents is one of them. From our own personal experience and perspective only, this can prove impossible. As we are missing knowledge and important facts about  their lives, the image we create of them can only be a partial one.

Details of their childhood are missing, or how they were educated or the experiences they went through. The fact that they don't share such experiences with their children does not help us to understand the whole spectrum of who they are. It is not always easy to share our experiences and traumas with others, and for a parent; this is not different. In addition, some parents do not share traumatic experiences that shaped them into who they are, as they have assimilated them and perceived them as normal.

The #1 Most Popular Law of Attraction Pitfall

By Jason | Expanded Consciousness 

Without a doubt, the most common question I get from readers via email is:

“I’ve been working really closely and intently with the LoA. I’m getting better at keeping my focus strong, but I’ve noticed that despite my awareness of my mood and intention for X to happen, I still get the opposite/nothing! What’s going on?!”

Does this ring a bell with you?

Have you set and patiently waited with dozens of intentions, only to have absolutely nothing happen – or even worse – the opposite of what you intended ends up manifesting?

What the hell is going on here…?!

This is without a doubt the biggest stumbling block, and where a good 3/4 of people WILL get hung up, frustrated, and throw the baby out with the bathwater

7 Lessons You Don’t Want To Learn Late In Life

1. Drop the shoulds from your life.

As a young person, you’re told what you should do all the time. You should study hard. You should get good grades. You should take piano lessons. You should go to this college. You should take this job. Should should should. Because we’re told what we should do all the time, we start telling ourselves what we should do to impress the should-ers.

Forget that line of thinking.

Think about what makes you happy, what kind of things will enrich your life and make it feel full. Maybe those are the things you should do.

2. Face down your fears.

Some of your fears are rational, like your fear of poisonous spiders. That’s not a fear you need to conquer. That’s one you should strengthen through repeated viewings of Arachnophobia. But there are fears that can hold you back. Fear of falling in love. Fear of talking to people. Fear of taking on challenges that will grow you. Conquer any fear that holds you back from something you want.

Planting the Seeds of Intention

FullSizeRender-1 copy

“Intention is the core of all conscious life.

Conscious intention colors and moves everything.”

-Master Hsing Yun

 

What is Intention? Intention can be defined as an aim that intends action, physical, mental or spiritual. Action being the key word here. Action and movement are the ultimate goal in an intention. Intentions can set up your days and life with awesome outcomes.

Intentions can be personal mantras or daily goals. Waking each day and setting an intention can set your day moving in the right direction.

You wake up, get out bed, brush your teeth. You have thought nothing, only following the rhythmic movings of the cog in the machine. It is as if you are mechanical going through the motions of a life you have no control over.

Now let’s start over – you wake up, stretch your body waking every cell – now before getting out of bed ask yourself what you want for the day?

Science Is Proving Some Memories Are Passed Down From Our Ancestors

Do you have a fear of spiders? Maybe snakes? It could be your ancestors trying to tell you something. Recent studies have provided evidence that memories of fear are one of many things our forebearers pass down to us through our DNA.

A 2013 study from Emory University found that mice trained to fear a specific odor would pass their emotions on to their offspring and future generations. Scientists applied electric shocks to mice as they exposed them to the smell of cherry blossoms. The mice then bred, and both the children and grandchildren of the affected rodents demonstrated a fear of cherry blossoms the first time they smelled them.

“Our results allow us to appreciate how the experiences of a parent, before even conceiving offspring, markedly influence both structure and function in the nervous system of subsequent generations,” Dr. Brian Dias of the Emory University department of psychiatry said to the Daily Telegraph. “Such a phenomenon may contribute to the etiology and potential intergenerational transmission of risk for neuropsychiatric disorders such as phobias, anxiety and post-traumatic stress disorder.”
