THE EMERGENCE OF SOUL

If we cultivate the courage and honesty to continue working on ourselves, we may come to a point where all ideas and labels of self begin to merge. It's a real, gradual and lasting transition, and you are left in no doubt about it's authenticity, for it is intuited, felt, sensed and discerned to be true. What this means is that when the distinction of higher and lower self begin to dissolve, the whole you begins to manifest. That whole you is the individual / universal 'hybrid' consciousness I call the Soul. It is the convergence of ego and essence. It is physical and non-physical. It is logical, discerning, intuitive, Divine; yes all these things. 

In Soulness, nothing is destroyed or killed off, because all that you are is accepted. The old sense of ego (that is absolute identification with an individual 'me') fades, but individuality continues, now merging with a deep sense of Oneness. It is an expanded homogenisation of consciousness rather than an emptying or purging of individuality. 

If we begin to truly accept all that we are, our tendencies and addictions also begin to fade. Choices of how to act which were once individual or societal based, now become intergrated with the whole. This is because the closer individual consciousness converges with the Soul, the more we think, speak and act holistically. The closer we merge with the Soul, the need to compare, evaluate or seek also dissolve. As this change becomes solidified, you are becoming One with all aspects and states of being a human. This is a natural process; the dropping away of the old mind of ego and the appearance of the new dimension of Soulness. 

The Soul has individual personality, expression and gifts, but does not absolutely or definitively identify with them as coming from or belonging to itself. There is no need. Its nature is to share. An unconditional act of loving kindness is an act from the Soul. 

We all have an opportunity to gradually realise a state of congruence with the Soul. It's not an idea or a belief, but a natural embodiment freely available to everyone.

The voice of the Soul is intuition, and its language is Love.

LET GO OF IDENTITY TO REVEAL YOUR SOUL

We can really learn who we are by letting go of who we think we are. In this way we can remain free from identifying with an idea or concept. For example, let's take the concept "I am this body". When I understand this, and no longer cling the idea that this is the absolute answer, I see that this idea is true when proposed within the physical dimension.

If I take an alternative view "I am not the body" then this appears true when proposed from the non-physical dimension. If I let go of both ideas or experiences, then I am free to experience any other possibility. Perhaps it could be that neither statement is true, or that both are true yet incomplete.

When we let go of all identities, then a new gap or space in consciousness appears. That is what I call the consciousness of the Soul, or Soulness. The Soul sees both the physical and non-physical as being parts of a greater whole. It is no longer seeking to find an identity because it is in open relationship and living communication with all elements and states of being of the human experience.That is why it can be described as the Holistic Mind of the Soul.

If we let go, the answer will appear. If you want to know yourself deeply, consciously and wholely, then you have nothing to remember at all.

TRUTH

Truth is not found in one part of a story. It cannot be.

Truth can be hard to accept. Yet it is what it is, without personal bias or manipulation, for it remains true beyond individual emotions and opinions.

Facing Truth enables us to expand and grow as individuals and as a whole. Real Truth is not a thought, but an undeniable intuited feeling from the depths of being. When this knowingness is not in line with what we'd like to happen or how we'd like things to be, then it may not be easy to accept. And yet the Truth remains as it is. We can ignore it or bury it in the depths of consciousness, but it will always be there. In fact it is always HERE, but we use our minds to camouflage this Truth. But if we are aligned with our essential Nature, then action arises from the stream of consciousness that is the Truth of Life.

Truth is not to be believed, but to be lived.

Likewise, the Truth of who you are is not found in any one part, but in the whole.

THIS - a poem

THIS

If I could give you anything,
It would be ... This.
This instance, This feeling, This reality.
For This is all we are.

I would give you myself,
And in giving myself,
You would recognise your own Self,
Which is one and the same.

If I could show you True Love,
I would not give you a kiss,
But would bare you my Soul,
Share it with you.

And if I could do one thing more,
Before I leave this place,
I would give you my all,
I would give you ... This.

The Holistic Mind of the Soul

We are multi-dimensional beings. That is to say we are able to experience or merge with many dimensions or plateaus of consciousness, from ego to Universal. But if we are to continue living on this beautiful Earth, there is an urgent and necessary transition for us all to take part in. We must discover and evolve ways of being, living and doing so that we may regain our sanity and security. Only in this way will human beings continue to live on this Earth.

What we need is not something new. It is, and was always freely available in any moment. So freely available it became overlooked. And what is it we need?

It is the free flowing consciousness within each human being which touches the extremes of perception without becoming identified with them. For each one of us, it is possible to strike a healthy and harmonious balance between the dual and non-dual realities, a holistic body-brain-mind-spirit consciousness which has no need to identify with any one or specific part of who and what we are. I call this the Holistic Mind because in this consciousness it is possible to glimpse and utilise all facets of our being. It is in some sense ‘whole’ because it does not deny any part of who and what we are. Nevertheless it is free to continue growing without label and confinement. It is accepting, unconfined, and free to Be.

We are here with the potential to recognise ourselves in all our truth. To know all that we are so that we may realise all we may become. We are bodies, brains, minds and Spirit. But what knows this? The Soul.

TIME4SOUL

It is 2013. It is time. Time to shine your light. Time for you to be.

You are a beautiful being with an incredible secret. 

A secret so powerful it can change the world.

That secret has been waiting for you, yes waiting for you to remember the truth of who you are.

So that you could recognise, realise and actualise your Divine Wealth.

To sense in surety that you are a multi-dimensional being of infinite potential.

That Love is your truest language.

And Heart is your noblest mind.

When you look back and realise everything that passed before was a blessing, and all that is to come is necessary for your learning, you will have entered the consciousness of the Soul.

That time is now.

Today we are witnessing a new dawn for humanity.

A time of hope and change.

Let go of fear, for it has no place here. 

Breathe and embrace the sacred sense within.

For there you will find the peace and love all people seek.

Be free. It is your birthright, your nature and your responsibility.

When you are free, you cannot but help others to be free.

That's how wonderfully kind and loving you are.

So your secret is out.

Souls are awakening to this world.

And this world is awakening to Soul.

It is time to speak and act from Love and Truth.

So new life will come to be in one and all. 

WHAT IS REAL LOVE?

Like any question, this can be answered in many ways, but this is what I sense;

• Real Love transcends the mind of ego, for it is so inexplicably deep, so mysteriously infinite, it does not belong to one person, for it is the emerging Heart of All. 
• Real Love then is not a verb (as in to love) but the essential sense of Being all people share.
• Real Love is ever-present, within and without.
• Real Love is glimpsed when mind is not restricted to the ego.
• Real Love is the emerging holistic nature of the Soul, so if we know ourselves and are conscious of that… then the Divine flows and shines through us.
• The presence of Real Love means you are sharing the Truth of who you really are.
• Real Love is the Intelligence and mode of communication for the subtle Holistic Mind of the Soul. 
• Real Love is found abiding in permanence before words and thoughts enter the mind.
• Real Love is the hardest, most challenging, most courageous road a human can choose

Time2Change

We need to change. Take this personally because it is likely to be true. Here’s the thing. Most human beings think, speak and act from a consensual consciousness that is flawed. It is flawed because it is the consciousness of the ego, and it is outdated, for any such way of thinking is disconnected from the whole story.

BUT ..... here’s the good news! We can change our perception and in doing so, act from and for the whole. How can we do this? Simply by being who we really are, who you really are.

Human consciousness is evolving out of the outdated animal mind of fear and into the loving mind of the Soul. Soul consciousness (Soulness) is a choice. To not choose the love of the Soul in the coming years will mean an end to life on Earth as we know it. So what do you choose? The time has come to look deeply at your addictions. Most of us are addicted to the idea of a separate ‘me’ and the accompanying opinions, desires and repeating patterns. This is an incomplete view of the cosmic reality. The separately identified ‘me’ has had its day. It is passé, on the way out. There is a deeper more meaningful identity in us all that suggests rather than orders, for it is a caring, loving, sharing energy, the energy of the Soul. It doesn’t speak in complex riddles or conflicting opinion, but in love, from love, for love.

When we are truly present, this is the manifested energy of the Soul. The next step for human beings is not simply to be present, but to act from that presence. Otherwise, like meditation, the idea of presence could remain an occasional safe harbour for our consciousness.

The 21st century is a wonderful time to be here on Earth. We really are the change we seek. That transformative power is deep in the heart of each one of us. It is the power of the Soul, and it is your gift to the world.

One-Duality

We may spend years seeking to understand the source of who we are, only to eventually find that essential core is the same in all beings, all things, all non-things. Then a natural re-harmonisation occurs. Through this organic universal process, each human being may naturally realise the ability to utilise the many dimensions of consciousness without permanently clinging to any particular state or condition. One is essentially free to be who you really are in all its wonder and mystery. This is the realm of the Soul, the frequency of multi-dimensional being, the next stage in the human evolution of consciousness. It is neither duality nor non-duality, but within and beyond them both. We could call it One-duality.

The Age of the Soul

Some believe and experience that the individual mind is who we are. Others experience themselves to be connected to all things, that there is one essential consciousness from which all life appears. I suggest that in order for humankind to continue to evolve, both duality and non-duality need be recognised as ordinary experience. For in reality we are dual and non-dual beings, remarkable multidimensional creatures of the universe. Those experiencing life from duality alone fail to see the essential nature of consciousness. And those who realise non-duality, yet fail to appreciate the necessary dynamic role of separation and form, somehow miss the wider picture.

 Without duality, there would be no way home to love.

 It is possible to see duality and non-duality, to oversee both – without fixed identification with either. Of course these are simply words attempting to convey a way of being, but nevertheless, the experiencing of life from this perspective could be described as knowing one’s self in all ways, from the finite to the infinite, the ego to the non-ego, and this is what we may call Soul-ness or the state or condition of the soul. Soulness means that there is an on-going realisation (and at the same time letting go) of individual and cosmic consciousness. That consciousness is neither fixed nor needing to ‘belong’ anywhere in particular.

When we undertake this journey, we discover that what was proposed as real is in reality an illusion, but as we venture deeper, we see that the illusion we have unveiled is also an illusion, for it somehow denies another part of human experience necessarily present at this time in our evolution. We are beings of form and formlessness, for denying either leaves us somehow incomplete. We are here on Earth with the possibility to realise the coming together of our individuality and our universality without prejudice or bias, for by doing so we naturally and organically converge the sense of higher and lower selves. I use the word organically, because this momentum and growth is directly derived from the living presence and natural expansion of consciousness itself.

 This is the age of the Soul, and we are all in the process of becoming whole.
