In this
early part of the 21st century human consciousness is changing across
the planet. This expansion suggests that humankind is slowly but surely waking
up, with increasing numbers seeing through the false Machiavellian promises of materialism
and the greedy profiteering of individuals, banksters and businesses. This manifestation
signals the beginning of the end for the outdated systems and beliefs which have
kept us separate from each another, those conditions and patterns which denied
the intuition and inner-knowledge that essentially, we are all One. So if the
way ahead is already here, what exactly is it?
This
‘already here’ paradigm is a stepping stone, a hybrid way of thinking, living
and being for humankind. I describe it as hybrid because that is what appears
when two ways of living or being (in this case the cultures of separation and
unity) meet and converge, for then a ‘new’ consciousness emerges, resulting in an all-inclusive and multi-dimensional way of
thinking, acting and being, a synergistic embodiment which naturally benefits the
whole.
Conceptualizing
something before it is accepted as reality is no easy matter, but this next
stage of human evolution signals the ending of the old way of the mind, and heralds
the arrival of the consciousness of the Soul, or Soulness. It is the human Soul
which is inextricably linked to the singular, essential Intelligence of Life
while remaining free to be the nidus for authentic Change and Action in the
world.
The Soul is
paradoxically singular, diverse and interconnected, and illogical to a mind
centred on individuality. However, each Soul is unique to a degree, retaining an
esoteric memory, and being expressed in the world through an authentic persona not
led by the ego. Soulness appears as the foreground of consciousness once the
mind’s identity with ego and non-ego
subside. Yes, non-ego too.
“We cannot ‘remember’ Awareness,
because the true Non-dual experience takes place outside of time and space. It
is not recalled through memory, simply realised to be the ever-present sweet
perfume of Life. Following the Non-dual direct experience, a ’grounding’ takes
place because you are bringing THIS which was uncovered beyond the physical
senses, back into the comprehension of those same senses, the Being into the
consciousness of the Human, and the formless into form. In this way, Awareness
is seen and felt to permeate all dimensions of being without negation of any
aspect of whom or what we are.”
The consciousness
of the Soul does not identify with any one dimension of being, or Being itself,
and with a transparent persona led by Universality,
consciousness remains open and available to unknown potentials of expansion and
growth. This is why the authentic Soul can best be described as a Whole-part.
For the awakening Soul is conscious of the Whole and part simultaneously, and having
no requirement to classify as either one or the other, it is both and more.
The consciousness of the Soul acts from an effortless yet discerning Love,
a Love which organically arises from the Self-knowledge that we are unique and inseparable. Soulness is the
consciousness of convergence, Change and Action, a simultaneous coming together
and manifestation of the holistic triad of body, mind, and spirit. Furthermore,
it is something to celebrate, to dance with, to enjoy and most naturally, to express
and share. With the Soul solidifies as the foreground of consciousness, then
the persona is neither purely individual nor
simply Universal, and is what may be described as Unividual.
“Your Soul
is your Soul. It is not mine, and yet they consciously share the One essence.
They are family. They are simultaneously separate yet inseparable. They are
integral and unique. They are not one and the same - but two and the same! A
Soul is beyond ideas or logic. Like the atom, it is both dual and Non-dual, for
it arises from the recognition and convergence of the two from the One. In
Soulness, you live duality and Non-duality as interdependent and complimentary,
without attachment or preference. The Unividual is conscious that it is a part
and a Whole, or a Whole-part. THIS is the homogenised truth of One-duality, and
the natural emergence of the consciousness of the Soul.”
The Soul is ever-loving and aware, and all-accepting. Not that all actions
arising from the Soul are soft, pink and fluffy, far from it, it’s just that
everything the Soul manifests arises from the homogenisation of inner and outer
being, delivering an authentic expression of Oneness through an authentic
persona.
Everything is One because it emanates from the One Source, not because we
are identical in all dimensions of being. So what is being described here
cannot be confined by the old terms of duality and non-duality, and yet, in accepting
(and transcending) both these, we arrive at what may be called One-duality.
“The Unividual enduringly senses the coreless
core of Non-dual Awareness – and with it comes the realization that the many
are the One, characterized in the world through multiplicity. It is called
One-dual because the One is seen in the many, and the many is seen to be the
One. It is not based in denial or negation but lived through an all-inclusive
and grounded acceptance of the Whole. One-duality is the Non-dual One
consciously expressed through duality. Now duality is realised to be as sacred
as Non-duality. The seeking of any ‘other’ has ended, as has dependency on the
idea of not seeking, for the once invisible treasure of the Unividual has been
uncovered. Seeking and not seeking are no longer present, for the Unividual is
living the presence of their Authentic Soul.”
As it says in the Advadhuta Gita (1.34):
“Some there are that prize Non-dualism, others hold
to dualism. They know not the Truth, which is above both.”
The Unividual Soul is the catalyst bringing authentic Change and Action
to our world. It carries the hopes and dreams not of any individual, but of all
humanity. This is our route to freedom and our Divine birthright.
