collective consciousness | Author

As a species, this is exactly what we are; a work in progress, and, if we are the microcosm to the macrocosm that generally gets referred to as “God,” then God too is a work in progress. God is Life itself, which is constantly in a state of evolution. So, this is why that old adage that there are only two certainties in life; death and taxes, is wrong. There is a third certainty; change, or as I’ve already stated, evolution.

The way things are going in our world, you would think that there won’t be much scope for evolution soon if the human race carries on the way it is. We seem to be creating the same old problems for ourselves, which usually involves our fellow human beings having to experience untold suffering, and then trying to solve these problems with the same methods that have already failed time and time and time again for centuries.

It seems that the institutions in place that are meant to be helping and guiding our evolution in a positive way, namely our political institutions and religions have failed miserably. I’m reluctant to turn this blog into a platform for expressing political opinions, so I’ll stick with the spiritual stuff. Is it any wonder that our religion here in the West has failed. The first thing that Western religion teaches is that there is a God who is separate from all “His” children and that this God can get pretty shirty if you don’t conform to his needs and love “Him” in the way he demands. Some branches of this religion also teach us to feel guilt and shame because we are unworthy of the God. This is ridiculous!

There is only One soul, no other, although that One soul has appeared to split itself up into billions of separate souls. These apparent individual souls are God expressing and experiencing itself in billions of different ways simultaneously. Eternal life (God) evolves by way of this beautiful and wondrous process. Religion would have us believe that God itself, does not evolve but simply stays up there in the clouds, loving some and condemning others. The very nature of Life is evolution and God is Life itself, therefore it’s ludicrous to believe that God has simply stayed the same since time immemorial.

But, the religions are reluctant or unwilling to change; still preaching from the same outdated scriptures. What is needed is a shift in consciousness; you can’t solve old problems with the same old and tired mind-set. I genuinely believe that this shift is happening now, even as I type. It may not be overly apparent at this present time, but there are signs that the collective consciousness of the human race is indeed shifting to a higher level. It is impossible to stop evolution, that big old wheel keeps on turning and it always will, but our actions as a species can slow things down.

It is understandable that old and stale beliefs are very difficult to shake off, but shake them off we will…eventually. We are a work in progress, we have a long way to go, but we will get there.

Once again my blog has been a bit redundant lately, and for the same reasons as I explained last time; namely, that I write mainly about my actual spiritual experiences, which remain at a premium at this moment in time (nearly a year without a decent out-of body; can you believe that?) Never mind, I can take this opportunity to share my musings with you and let you know what projects are on the horizon.

It has occurred to me that we all make judgements about “stuff”, situations and other people, and although these judgements are not always disparaging, they are nonetheless judgements, which serve no purpose unless we act on them in a positive way. What I mean is this, when we see something or hear about something that we perceive as being awful and not in line with all that is humanly decent, we judge it as being so, have a good old tut, maybe feel a degree of despair and sadness about it, but generally we don’t do anything else. In the case of a huge international incident you may be wondering what on earth you could do about it anyway. However…

There is another way of looking at things. We could take the incident and ask ourselves, “who am I in relation to that”? “How does it make me feel”? If the answer to both questions is that the said incident is not in line with our soul purpose (in other words, who I really am), then we may not be able to prevent something that has already happened, but there is something we can do.

It was Gandhi who said, “Be the change you want to see in the world”. So what we can do is this, at the first opportunity, having experienced something that did not resonate with who we really are, and having made that judgement, we can carry out a simple act of kindness. A simple act of kindness selflessly executed with no thoughts of reward is a positive reaction to the negative. Yes, we may not be able to change the individual incident, but the truth is that the only way we will ever achieve peace on earth is if the collective consciousness of the human race is transformed from the selfish state it is in now to the loving state, which is what it is at our deepest and purest level of being. All change must begin somewhere; and it must begin with individuals such as you and I adopting this way of thinking, instead of just accepting things the way they are.

There, that’s my musings over with.

So what’s coming up then? Well, I have a birthday this week; the big “Six Oh No”. To commemorate my 60th year and the miracle of life I will be offering the kindle version of my book “Universal Law – An Idiot’s Guide”, at the special promo price of 99p for seven days. More about that soon. There will also be another video project over the next few weeks with the theme, “Using Your Voice To Enhance Your Well-Being”. So watch this space and thanks as ever for supporting my work.
