Raise your consciousness (The flow of the divine)

There are many ways to raise your consciousness, but for the purpose of today's lesson I am going to speak of a method in which one's own understanding pushes their consciousness to raise. Put simply this means allowing your new found level of consciousness to resonate in your being and in-turn creating a new spiritual understanding (so to speak). Which will in-turn birth new questions and answers. It is almost like letting your mind travel and explore its new found consciousness to find new pathways into a higher consciousness (as if it was a physical place).

In order to achieve this leap frogging of consciousness you must intend it. Make a mantra that goes something like "I am exploring this reality with the intention of becoming a more conscious being and to evolve all that is my being" Then allow the spirit to guide you through the journey of time/space reality to draw upon new levels of thought. This technique is very unpredictable and it truly allows your inner spirit to be your teacher. Making the trust you have for your inner self a huge factor of your spiritual success. As well as letting go of the mask that you wear as self and allowing the spirit (which is your true essence of being) become you.

An good example of this progression is; When you start to realize that you are a spiritual being having a human experience and not a human being having a spiritual experience(which will raise your consciousness in leaps and bounds). Then you are left with the notion of evolving the spirit, and then wondering what the spirit is evolving for. Will lead you to a new found understanding of the purpose of life. It is a never ending cycle of student and teacher where you are playing both roles.

Meditation will also aid this process by silencing the chatter of the mind and allowing the message of the spirit to fully come through. The spirit observes in silence during our daily motions, listening and taking in all that we do. The reverse is the situation during meditation we observe the spirit in the same way, as we listen while the spirit speaks (in it's own way). Many practices of meditation has the person start off by saying, "Spirit, I am silencing the mind, so I can feel and understand your wisdom".

Above all else patience and compassion with yourself is needed. You must allow yourself all the room in the world for error and for this new consciousness to become Incorporated into the mind. Remember feeling good is an indication of how close you are to achieving this raise in consciousness. So it is important that you don't become too hard on yourself. This is not about studying, its about letting the river of life take you downstream. Now put down your paddle and let the flow of the divine take you away.
