As I write Book Three of the Finding God On The

Story series, to be titled God Consciousness And

The Divinity Within,  I have spent hours reading

and rereading the guidance I have received over

the past ten plus years. As is also standard practice

for me, I have spent a great deal of time

meditating and connecting directly with God 

to explore the topic. As I deep dive into the essence

of this message, I often run across guidance that

now requires a fresh look and understanding like

the guidance below titled God Thought.  

 

GOD THOUGHT

We exist within the consciousness of God –

a subset of the whole – a personal consciousness

within God consciousness.  Our being, our form,

all that surrounds us, and all that is within us,

is God originated existence.

 

All we see or experience is simply a thought

of God – we are a thought of God – and within

this ocean of thought we have being, are conscious,

and we are bathed in the essence of God thought.

 

We live within God – all we experience in this

collective God-consciousness – which our limited

consciousness is based – is found in this divine

consciousness.

 

In the extended vision of God we get to explore

humanity – God thought manifested in full form

to experience this existence. We live submerged

in the creation of God thought – all made of the

same thought substance.

 

Within our  consciousness is an awareness of

this connection – this oneness of Universal God

force – the divine spark fully aware of its source,

its origin, and its destiny.

 

Within the collective God consciousness is the

power and energy to create personal human

thought, the gift of creative power allowing us

to be one in our God potential, to contribute

to the voice of God in existence – as we live,

thrive, and create at the apex of God thought.

EVER EVOLVING WHOLE 

We are each the individual expressions of an

ever evolving whole, creating and becoming,

forming new the energy of an expanding 

consciousness, breathing each breath –

formless – faceless but alive – always striving –

always conceiving – always being more.

 

Our acts of individual creation nourish

the whole - pushing our boundaries and

the limits of the whole. The power of this

creative force is love – the love of the

initiative – of boundlessness forever

reforming, multiplying the collective 

energy of all humankind – all existing life.

 

We are truly the living spirit of conscious-

ness – bursting forth in an infinite variety

of magnificence. We are one and living in

this whole – the true living spirit of God.

Jalal ad-Din Rumi (1207-1273)

Poet and Founder of the Mawlawi Sufi Order

 

Ye who search of God, of God, pursue.

Ye need not search for God is you, is you!

Why seek ye something that was missing

ne’er?  Save you none is, but you are –

where, oh, where?

 

The desire to separate humankind from God,

and all sentient life for that matter, becomes

more difficult as we explore the spiritual

concept of God as an expanding consciousness.

 

Although the quote from Rumi above,

demonstrates what has been a popular

esoteric mystical opinion - we and God

are one - the exoteric religious authorities

have, for the most part, considered this

to be anathema, heretical, often severely

punished. 

 

This may be a reason why I usually sit on this

type of guidance, and have, until I rediscovered

it this morning, and felt ready to delve into

its meaning. Usually, I would rather not offend 

the sensibilities of those who cannot fathom,

or discuss, this close a union of the divine and

humankind.  Just so happens,  Ann, my wife,

is firmly in this group.  

 

Yet, in truth, most of my spiritual work has

been finding and redefining a less supernatural,

more user friendly God, one that might fit

within our modern perspective. I believe

the note below is proposing  just such a

conceptual framework. Your thoughts?

 

ONE PRESENCE SHARED

 

We and God are intertwined.

We and God are intermingled.

 

A shared consciousness, where our

consciousness exists within the limitless

consciousness of God, stretching

the space of all conscious existence –

we and God are one, God within,

God without – together, we and God –

the creator of all form (which exists as an

extension of our joint consciousness)

are intertwined.

 

Form is simply, and totally, a representation

of the creative thought of consciousness,

and as such, has no innate power. Always

in matters of form, we must return to the

originator and the origination of our sense

experience – creative conscious thought.

 

Let us fully comprehend and grasp this

essential truth of comingled consciousness;

sharing the combined power of truly dual

conscious existence, expanding  our

consciousness and revealing the truth of

all existence, one presence shared. Seek

the point of origin in meditation, reflection,

and prayer.

 

Understand, it is only through our personal

conscious connection with the world of form

that God can impact or interact or experience

the world of form. As God is a vehicle of our

expanded consciousness, we, you, me all

sentient life is a conduit for God to form

consciousness, for mutual, total, integrated

existence. Each sentient being is a conscious

receptor of and within tangible existence.

 

(If we do not open ourselves up to this God

connection, God cannot fully enter our world

except through grace.)

There is no time like the present moment to rephrase

the future, to set in motion constructive thought

and action into a more perfect vision of our dreams,

our intentions, our hope, and wonder; letting go

of the misconceptions, the misrepresentations

of our truthful path, our clear purpose.

 

Leave behind, let go of, and so forego the impression

that forces beyond our control - deceptions, external

enmity - may preclude our undertakings, foreshadow

our success, turning constructive effort into failure,

confusion, or unintended delay.

 

The only impediment to our true and rightful

becoming is our own hindrance, our lack of

belief, our doubts, our fears, so conceived and

realized that the very obstacle we face is self

erected, constructed by our own thoughts,

misgivings, and our perceptual, mental folly.

John Locke’s Essay Concerning Human

Understanding was published in 1690, defining

consciousness as “the perception of what passes

in a man’s own mind,”establishing what would

be the modern concept of consciousness.  

 

Since Locke’s opening gambit, scientists,

philosophers, psychologists and mystics have

studied and pondered “the perception,” leaving

us still no closer than Locke with a comprehensive

understanding of the origin and full dimensions

of human consciousness. 

 

I have been focused on consciousness - praying and

meditating, requesting additional guidance and

clarification, hoping to explore further what is,

at least for me, the backdrop for our existence,

and the basis of God in our lives.

 

I am especially interested in what the message has

defined as the levels of consciousness, encompassing

our “personal or local consciousness,” which is

incorporated as a subset of the more comprehensive

“non–local collective consciousness” of all sentient

life, again a subset of  divine consciousness,

comprising the first two levels, as well as all life

that has previously existed.

 

My hope is to join the “consciousness debate”

by offering a more comprehensive theory

of consciousness based on my guidance.  

So, as demonstrated by the meditation

guidance below,  as guidance on this subject

is received, a fuller perspective is being sketched.

 

VISTAS OF CONSCIOUSNESS

 

Below the surface of being exists,

the underpinnings, the threads and needles,

the substructure connecting all-ness to all else,

the energies, the particles, the bits and pieces

of viable existence, the base, the screen

on which, with which, reality manifests

and performs.

 

This is the sub-matter behind matter,

the first thought preceding all thoughtful

connection, the conscious framework

we choose to consider reality, a projection

upon a projection, within our conscious

projection.

 

Realize the force of nature is in itself

the collective vision of billions of diverse

perspectives, an ingrained hardwired

foundation expected to be, expected

to follow laws set in motion by an active God.

 

Consider and contemplate this interaction,

this mingling, this natural blueprint,

the vistas of consciousness, peering within

its marvels, miraculous flashes of light,

dwelling intently and deeply until the

props and fixtures are revealed, allowing

an awareness of the strings supporting

and holding in place this dimension,

these slivers of being giving our world

form and function, mobility and energy,

purpose and proposition, as it flickers

in the projector's light.

Morphic Resonance – the principle theoretical

concept and hypothesis of renown British

biologist Rupert Sheldrake, Ph.D.: who posited 

that memory is inherent in all of nature; with

natural systems, such as termite colonies,

or orchid plants, or apple trees, or insulin

molecules, or humanity as a whole, inheriting

a collective memory from all previous entities

of their related system; available and usable

as a guide to enhance growth and development.

 

The establishment of our personal, individual

existence, before or after this earthly life,

has been a point of much speculation and

conjecture.  As with all things spiritual,

we tend to layer myth, wishful thinking,

and hopeful clairvoyance to come to our

belief, whether individually, or as an

adherent of a specific religious perspective.

 

As a true believer in the traditional view

of heaven, my wife Ann shudders when

I talk this way. Even so, I feel it is essential

that we not just except a standard answer

without questioning its veracity, at least as

it relates to our spiritual perspective.

 

My guidance, like the featured note, has

repeatedly pointed to not only an afterlife,

but a before–life, with this all too brief

time in between, a place of fostered growth,

an incubator of sorts where our joint

experiences are folded back into conscious-

ness, to be shared with those who are still

in the process of living.

 

It is not my purpose to dispel or disclaim

your vision of the afterlife, only

to stimulate productive speculation for

those inclined, who, like me, may find

themselves closer to the after part than

the before.

 

FOSTERED GROWTH

 

What exists beyond life, existed before life,

the presence, the essence, established as

fact and form, inhabiting all time frames,

all sequences presented as the possibility

to be engaged, offered for evolvement,

for enhancement, for becoming, in what

we conceive of as tangible life, to be allowed

fostered growth, creative blossoming,

experiential stretching; able to ascend

or pretend, or descend as occasioned,

and with this existential opportunity

a platform for emotional connection,

the extension for singular into plural

existence, forming a web of connection;

life integrated and tied together, using

free will to push the boundaries of possibility –

to grow life – establish potential, and

when fully exercised, to take this learning,

this insight, returning to where it originated,

to lasting consciousness, to share in morphic

resonance as needed, with all life becoming.

TANGIBLE CREATION  

Sincerity, immersion, along with complete commitment, 

define the parameters of a successful project or venture; 

a clarity of intention conceived in the heart of imagination,

made tangible through frequent visualization, formed

and reformed and formed again in thought and emotion.

 

The effort extended must be complete, authentic,

uncompromised – soul-centered and heartfelt –

cherished, loved, and essential; focused desire 

made manifest, a creation of good with universal

application, a magnificent undertaking.

 

To this constructive effort, all must be wagered,

all must be offered, for only the transfer of total

and unhampered belief will stoke the furnaces,

forge the particles into being, and finally, breathe

life into the shell of the whole, giving forth

animation and destiny.

CONNECTED WITHIN

Within connected consciousness we exist,

whole and fully supported our visions, hopes,

desires; solitary and intricately shared,

reverberating, vibrating, from local space

throughout the whole – all individual beats

of a magnificent spiritual drum, pounded

in syncopated splendor, coupled with like

expressions, until a resounding ocean of clear

intention surfaces, moving tsunami like

throughout the one mind of existence,

attracting, calling forth, what might be -

should be - and now, with this tumult –

could be, very possibly, communally

expressed.

 

Know, our individual perception of a

world worth living, fostering, incubating,

nourishing, fermenting, finds its very origin

in our singular, personal imagination,

our audacity to visualize a more pertinent

existence, a more bountiful and appealing

being, a way forward to a shared joy,

a collective happiness, a lasting hope.

 BUT THEN

 I wonder, God,

    how you stand existing

        within my tired frame,

    worn and cracked

from too many taut days -

    ah, but then, I realize,

    this is all my illusion,

not yours.

POEM G. 8.14.2012

 

Sometimes this spiritual quest gets too complex,

and I am the first to forget the basics; that is,

being prepared to connect with God, in the present,

through meditation, prayer, and contemplation.

 

It is within these meditative moments where we

master the skill of mind control, clearing away

the debris of our egos and our noisy lives, to meet

the true consciousness of God, always ready

and waiting in the now.

 

So when I came across this note featured below

from 2014, I decided to publish it, as a gentle

reminder, to all of us, of the basics.

 

THE FIRST STEP

The power to clear the consciousness is available

to everyone, simply by using the techniques and

approaches honed by thousands of years of earnest

effort, one errant thought at a time.

 

It is basic meditation practice, with its focus on

the breath, returning to this breath when thoughts

surface – allowing us to lay the foundation,

training our minds, so our awareness during

practice will determine the flow and focus

of our attention.

 

For some, this may be the first experience with mind

control – allowing thoughts to surface, but upon

review, choosing to withdraw attention, returning

instead to the breath and our meditative focus,

thus laying the groundwork for a breath-focused

mindfulness, available during meditative practice,

or anytime we choose mindfulness as our criterion

for awareness.

PARTICLE OF TOTAL CONSCIOUSNESS

 

Even a small particle of consciousness is the

total consciousness of God – the I AM. You are

this essential cell of God consciousness, forming

and manifesting the world into cocreated life

and creation.

 

A single cell of consciousness in the universal

body and form of God – moving forward with

the will and destiny of a particle energy –

mobilizing and energizing in harmony with

this universal consciousness – this infinite

consciousness – this infinite awareness we

often call God, Source, Spirit, or Divine Mind.

 

For on a universal level, all the cell particles of

individual consciousness – from what we know

as sentient life – formulate and mobilize the total

consciousness – the I AM of all consciousness.

Be aware of your essential nature – your connection

and contribution to the whole, being aware of its

significance.

 

For a spiritually awakened you, contributes to

the full awakening of all intention throughout

the universal consciousness. If you join with

others who are still asleep, within the illusion

of separateness and disjointed life, you will slow

the evolution of enlightenment – the movement

towards full awareness of God as God.

 

Ensure your consciousness is awake, alive

and ready to bring forth life, power, and

growth to the universe of love and God.

There are times when the evil that surrounds us 

 

is incomprehensible; we are surely experiencing 

 

one of these times. That it is being done in the

 

name of God is just unfathomable.

 

As the note, I share below reminds, a meme

of evil has gained a foothold, as our global

culture has chosen to promote all things dark

and destructive as entertainment, our cultural

pastimes.

 

Although, we cannot personally stop these

random acts of global madness, perhaps

we can set in motion a new  focus, a viable

consciousness - a more wholesome and

worthy perspective.  

 

THIS MEME OF EVIL

 

It is the idea of evil, the intent of evil that surfaces

and finds a place in the collective consciousness.

It is this meme of evil, active, evolving, flourishing

that forms the presence of turmoil, destitution,

avarice, heartlessness – only by grabbing hold

of the content of consciousness can we counteract

its forming and reforming, its gaining power and

presence.  We each must resolve to think it into

diminishment, starting with our own mind control.

 

This meme of evil has gained a foothold, and at

times, an upper hand in this life. What we must

realize is that humanity is the generating force

of this dark, destructive meme, forged by lifetimes 

of fostering inhumanity and greed.

 

Today we feed the preservation of evil by opening

our psyches and our souls to a daily feeding of

media based demise, criminality, hatred, and

fictional homicide. Our culture is what now

represents us, and it is often dark and menacing,

brutal, unthinkable. The meme of evil thrives 

in our world of intolerance, hatred, and 

hopelessness.

 

We must consider, each of us, making it our

mission to reorder our thoughts and lives, basing

our efforts on the expansion of good, well-being,

thriving, hope: turning the tide – restoring 

a consciousness of good, for all.

As we have discussed, the focus of the Finding

God On The Train Story message, is that we

and God interact through a shared consciousness

and as a result, as the note below conveys, it is a

“logical” outgrowth of this conceptual framework

that we share a combined existence, teamed

to make the most of our endeavors and our lives.

This, of course, is facilitated, and the benefits 

of co-existence maximized, when we actually

buy-in to this framework.

 

Likewise, this notion is built on the premise

that every living being has an inner divine

nature and connection, that even with flat-out

negation, this divine connection cannot

be turned off or severed. Thus, the opportunity

for this inner divinity to assist even the totally

lost with reclaiming their redemption.

 

We, who believe in combined being, are in

a unique position to actually cocreate with

God our lives of joy, peace, love, and happiness –

heaven on earth. Others will benefit from

God’s close proximity and ability to assist

when possible.    

 

COMBINED BEING

 

The lasting partnership of total oneness

asks for only acceptance, a willingness

to be one with the enveloping consciousness

of eternal spirit, open to its flow, its push

and pull of a complete awareness.

 

This consciousness incubates and fosters

the individually perceived awareness,

seen by most, as distinct and separate.

Spirit is with you as the air you breathe

is with you, dislocation, separation is

untenable, impossible; yet many conjure

a distance between the created and

the creative force of all.

 

Understand that Spirit, the infinite

awareness, through the soul, provides

the framework for a lasting partnership

of combined being, able to live and

be a united unfolding presence, open

to engender form from well-intentioned

thought, to partner in the cocreative

wonder of living, being, becoming.

THORNS STUCK IN TENDER PLACES

Let us listen to our own soul’s roar,

forcing us to peer from inside out

and outside in, to familiarize ourselves

with the thorns stuck in tender places,

capturing our failing attention even

as we proceed on as if nothing hurts.

 

Let us recognize this veil of confusion instead,

as our distinctive vision blurs, and as such,

forcing our sight to focus on what we truly

are and deserve to be, not pawns but kings

on a sacred mission to regain our paradise lost.

 

Let us take this reclamation, without the taunt

of self–negation or abasement; forcing our

will only when our rationale argument fails

to deliver, fully ready to shed our worn

appearance and adorn ourselves with truth,

welcoming our noble transformation.

There are periods when I find it difficult

to connect with my divine guidance; when

this occurs it usually takes me some effort

to determine what I am doing to impede

the process. I  have been in such a period

recently.  During these periods I do receive

direction, like I did this morning, when

my journal opened to the note below

and I felt compelled to read it, and publish

it on the blog.

 

As a musician, I realize the significance

of silences created by the composer,

instrumentalist, or improviser in a piece

of music; referred to as the “rests” –

an eighth rest, a quarter rest, a half rest,

a whole rest – designated portions

of time equivalent to the actual played

note lengths, where there is silence;

no sound is to exist. Of course, without

silence, there is no music, only a drone

of a fluctuating sound.

 

Perhaps, I am to understand and utilize

these periods of  divine “rest” or silence,

to listen to the eternal voice of the being

that exists, always within me, the message

and guidance of my own soul or divine-self.

 

WITHIN THE SPACES

 

Live within the spaces of consciousness,

between the overlap of spheres of influence,

space between the concentric circles.

Movement between the spheres is doable

after detachment from the fixed state of

personal consciousness. It is in the spaces,

the silences, between words, thoughts, ideas,

expressions – where the true genius exists.

The divine resides within the spaces, providing

the fabric of consciousness. Spaces between

the breaths, between the tones. Travel the

silent spaces.

 

Live within the spaces of existence, between

the beats of the heart. Allow life – divine life –

to erupt from the spaces. Listen to the voice

of eternal being within you; the message is

soft and appealing, one of unity – furtherance –

and continual transcendence. Listen to the voice,

the message so fragrant, it enlivens every cell.

 

Live today within the spaces – feel the presence,

the true peace. Stop thinking, feel it instead,

truly encounter the true amniotic fluid –

the moist substance of eternal destiny – here

for a brief moment before moving onto more

pertinent being – an existence framed in more

expansive consciousness, yet know your life –

this life, and all its wonder and expansiveness,

is the true test – the epic adventure forcing

all who participate to develop, to evolve, and

eventually, to transcend.

The message titled Concentric Circles Of

Consciousness, offered below, further expands

our understanding of the enhanced connection

of our local and nonlocal consciousness, under-

scoring the importance of building a pathway

to God/Universal Mind, thus expanding our

capacity to fully cocreate our lives with God:

actually manifesting our heaven on earth.

Framing this local mind in a positive manner –

controlling our local consciousness, allows us

to grow and evolve in a creative mode, rather

than a destructive mode.

 

CONCENTRIC CIRCLES OF CONSCIOUSNESS

 

Concentric circles of consciousness forming,

being, or existing, layer upon layer, together

but distinct, based in the infinite or God

or cosmic consciousness – containing all

existence in one potent and all inclusive

awareness – the total awareness, the adhesive

thought of all existence – the thought of an

active God/Spirit/Being/Oneness – a conscious

presence, the fertile soil of all awareness.

 

Part and parcel of this founding layer exists

 

the collective consciousness of all previous

 

or waiting existence – providing the wisdom

 

of the multitude of existence.  Within these

 

concentric circles lies the communal or the

 

collective consciousness of existing sentient

 

life formed one circle at a time by each individual

 

consciousness, each personal (or sentient) being

 

shared but personalized – made distinct by

 

borders – by thought restricted boundaries –

 

yet one by the original foundation of each.

 

To connect with the cosmic or God consciousness

is to break through the conceptual separation

and connect with what is already existing at the

very heart or center of your consciousness –

waking to your own divine core.

 

Work to expand your consciousness,

understanding the significance of each layer

in your life. Submerge, extend, and transcend

individual consciousness – live within.

It has taken 13.7 billion years to create us;

the existing vanguard of conscious existence;

we must be sure to comprehend, fully,

our relevance; our essential nature in the

amplification of all existence; we the pinnacle

of sentient, conscious creation; separate

yet indivisible: the current medium

of all that is.

 

WE ARE THE MEDIUM

 

Worth, value, the essence of the meaning

or importance we attach to each aspect of

this life is presently determined by the value

of replacement, often failing to realize even

a moment of our conscious existence is beyond

value, irreplaceable, life in real time, a sliver

is infinite and finite at the same time, like one

frame of a film, a nanosecond projected on

screens of consciousness within our minds,

the three-dimensional backdrop of each passing

moment, as senses fill the void with activity, color,

presence; we are the medium giving dimension

to the presence, so sure what is within us is a

representation of what is outside of us, fooled

into believing the distinction - when all is part

and parcel of even a fuller more encompassing

consciousness: the unity, the all that is.

At the center of much religious thinking is

the concept of God/world dualism, where God

is separate and exerts influence on the world

through what is known as downward causation.

 

Those who have been reading my Notes On

Enlightenment published on this blog, realize

that I follow the view that God, and humankind,

are actually intertwined in a co-conspiracy 

of action and creation, with humankind

the active agent of God on earth - through

this active living - expanding the potential 

and depth of creative consciousness.

 

At the individual human level, I believe our 

personal consciousness is hardwired with

what I refer to as the Divine Mind - our divine

nature or soul, which acts as our creative

conduit to connect and cocreate with God

or Universal Consciousness. 

 

As noted in the title of the Meditation Guidance

below, this Blended Awareness is sparked by

individual intention, as each person creates,

via their own desires. As the first line of the

guidance below reveals, each of us powers

and originates this creative process through

our own intention.

 

In other words, we spark the desire and team

with God in its cocreation, resulting in the

appropriate manifested tangible form.

Basically, what is being expressed here, 

is that our interaction with God is conducted 

via upward causation, rather than downward.

  

BLENDED AWARENESS

 

We are powered by our own inception –

the infusion of our intention with God 

consciousness -  replayed over and over

within our personal consciousness

until it flowers – erupting in a bloom

of creation, expressing  the union of our 

true God potential.

 

Consider this thought – as a particle of God

consciousness you hold the key to universal

possibility – potential - merely by becoming

an expression of your God nature – refusing

to allow thoughts of separation to dissuade

you and throw you off course.

 

Let every action be a connected action, 

enabling your divine nature and your form

existence to walk in unison, becoming the

vibrational harmony of two consciousnesses

being experienced together.

 

Push your ego and your operational mind 

to cooperate - watch as the magic begins –

igniting your world positively, impacting

all existence through your song – the blended

voices of two awarenesses returning

to the vibration of one.

Book Three of The Finding God On The Train Story

series focuses on exploring the human soul and how

it relates to and interacts with God Consciousness.

The note below, aptly titled Personal Consciousness,

takes us deep into this relationship and provides

guidance on how we can reveal and expand this

divine connectivity.  

 

PERSONAL CONSCIOUSNESS

 

Before the beginning, there was only

God Consciousness – Universal Consciousness -

where now your Personal Consciousness exists

as a bubble of viable, evolving intention, allowing

the life as you know it to exist and be experienced 

within -  giving it tangible form and solidity –

forming it, expanding it into the existence

you now are aware of and accept.

 

Personal Consciousness is protected within

the sea of God Consciousness – receiving

nourishment, guidance, and inspiration, yet,

fully able to exist on its own - to live a life with

or without God connection.

 

Personal Consciousness expands or contracts

to match individual desires, conception, or

intention. At the same time, it is the pathway

or portal to the interconnectivity of Universal

Consciousness with the ability to connect to the

collective creative power of all who exist or who

have ever existed.

 

During meditation and prayer allow yourself

to experience and journey within your Personal

Consciousness – expanding your vision –

revealing the true center of your existence –

push towards knowing how you exist within

the sea of God Consciousness – allowing the

edges to fade – the boundaries to disappear

until you feel God wash over you – feel

the sincerity of pure love enfold you – and

from this point work on strengthening

this conceptual connection until you touch

the true center of gravity.

SLICE OF TIME

 

This thin slice of time we now inhabit, reveals

only the immediate moment, as we, in conscious

adaptation create a fuller, a more multidimensional

perspective of past and present incorporated,

well on its way to an imagined future. With this

lens in place, we maneuver these settings

to comprehend this expression of existence.

 

Perhaps this present – this prelude to the future

is but a convergence of multi-moments, a sum

of probable alternatives that in an infinitesimal,

momentary calculation forms a sort of sum over

history, an average of all possible scenarios,

to select, and give us, as our best and most

suitable reality – our now.

 

Limited by our own perception, we must

be aware that God’s perspective is fuller,

more inclusive, but still impacted by the

complexity of multi frameworks, alternatives

selected and abandoned, along with the power

of will and choice in every sentient participant

in this existence, so no static, fully framed

future can exist,  just an ocean of possibilities

waiting to be perceived, then combined,

and finally, to arrive as a slice of present

time for us to live again.

THE QUEST

 

We are each on a spiritual journey, both individual

and solitary, in search and pursuit of our own

divinity – the God who lives within us – the God

we are and will always be. Each life we encounter

along the way is involved in this becoming - whether

realized or unaware.

 

It is your spiritual mission to allow this journey to

unfold within you as your divinity within – deep

within – pushes you towards the fresh breath

of new life – maneuvering your soul through

the illusion, the fears, the doubts, the ego’s dreams –

and even at times –  resuscitating the divine you,

pounding on your chest until a heartbeat appears

and a gasp of consciousness is surrendered.

 

This awakening is not easy – it requires the

resolution of the conflicting voices in your mind –

the demons of your own journey to be faced and

overcome in the effort to create a sort of symbiotic

coexistence in a united attempt to reveal your own

identity and evolve. This divine becoming requires

the courage to risk all of life for the essence of true

life – to die to be reborn anew – personally evolved

and one with God.

 

God truly waits within for you to arrive.

After months of reading modern philosophy

to support my theory of God Consciousness,

I have been drawn back to explore the rationality

of the message of the Finding God On The Train

Story, perhaps to provide it with a more coherent

and understandable framework.

 

Two key terms – being and beingness – are at

the core of what I believe I am tasked to convey.

First, you and me and all sentient existence

provide the essence of what I would refer to as -

“conscious being,” that is, each individuated

being to some degree has been provided some

actual awareness: with us human beings having,

thanks to our language capability and our

expandable brains, the most refined and defined

capacity.

 

Each “conscious being” carries with it, in some 

degree a perspective of the world, always 

individuated but made similar by shared, culture, 

education, signs, and symbols. Of course, much

of the infrastructure of our existence is provided

by “non-conscious beings” – earth, rocks, sand,

mountains, etc. that exist but do not fully,

consciously contribute.  

 

Next, the “beingness” I refer to here is the

creative force and glue that allows all us “beings”

to exist. Although we struggle to describe and

name this force; it represents the essence of

tangible existence, it is for most - God; pushing

us to authentic aliveness, stretching us, growing

us, evolving us to become more. Although we

disagree as to its nature; it is for many, a force

for all that is good in the world.

 

The note below further clarifies being and

beingness, and our intricate, intertwined

relationship.

 

BEING AND BEINGNESS

 

We are each of us, singular or in the plural,

the being of beingness, as its very essence

stretches to enlarge, grow, and evolve

through existential interaction.

Let us comprehend our primary cause,

our purposeful effect. Let us embrace

the beingness as it fuels our mastery

of life, of living, as it works with us and

through us encouraging, prompting,

clearing the way for our, and all humanity’s

progress. Touch the beingness within you

and surrounding you; listen deeply and

intently – working to discern its message,

knowing all this is essential to all aliveness;

celebrate the intention of this collective being,

aware of the gentle hands of beingness

prompting the full accomplishment of

heaven on earth: be the being of beingness!

WHAT IF?

 

There is a strong tendency for the followers

to build an expectation of the followed.

There is a strong desire to want super

powers in our heroes, in our Gods, and

in our leaders; to counteract our perceived

human powerlessness. So, God, for many

has assumed the big three: omniscient,

omnipotent, and omnipresent: a super

savior of such magnitude; who for a prayer

will rectify any issue or ill, self-created or not.

 

As we reflect on this approach - debate and

consider its validity - many turn away

questioning why a multitude of dutiful

believers have faced torment, torture,

and mass extinction without even a drop

of mercy, grace, or intervention. 

 

As the note below proposes, what if

God shares our consciousness, but is not

able to counteract human free will

and directly intervene in the affairs of  

humankind? What does it indicate about

God – what would it suggest that we

consider doing, to save ourselves,

primarily, from ourselves?

 

For a few months, I have been reading

and rereading the note below titled

The Stirrings, along with a number

of related notes that have followed and

support a similar line of reasoning.

 

This initial note below offers a frame-

work for how an emergent God might

come into existence. I am still praying,

meditating, and asking for guidance

regarding this topic, but this is one

example of the response I am receiving.

 

In this note, the emergent God inherits

a troubled collective human consciousness,

unable to exist without turmoil, war,

and savagery. Hate to say it, but sounds

a lot like life on our planet today. I thought

I would try my hand at a brief introduction,

to frame what might have been happening

in the world at the time, of this emergence

of God. Ok, let’s start with my intro.

 

When a groggy consciousness awakes to

its own intention, fed by, gaining strength

from, and finally given substance to by the

fearful cries and pleas of early humanness –

earth’s original inhabitants - daily facing

a stark existence in a new world; as their

fierce, more menacing, cohabitants seek

nourishment, and evolutionary placement;

this infant collective awareness, with wordless

mindfulness, struggling for existence: produces

the perfect clamor to call forth their own

salvation, an emerging God, a collective

universal consciousness that finds a reason,

an intention, a purpose, and offers refuge.

  

THE STIRRINGS

 

God came into being through the stirrings

of a combined consciousness, becoming

aware and awake, reaching out to make

sense and purpose of this united presence,

this life fully aware of itself, its place, its

possibility: knowing each individual

presence was, in fact, a part and parcel

of its larger, fuller, greater perspective;

all inclusive, evolving, growing. becoming,

being, then dissolving; a sense of one,

whole, a sum of its parts became – this entity

of combined human consciousness, yet also,

inclusive of all less vigorous or fully aware.

Knowing – even as it awoke, the realization

of a turmoil within, at war with itself, angry,

unable to appease or unite:  even so,  its

allegiances, tribes, or coalitions left little

but fear, despair, and savagery – to placate

it, to aid in its becoming, to foster its evolution –

how, was the repeated question, as the over

mind, the now overall consciousness ruminates

its purpose, its existence.
