… The never-ending story: Expanding Awareness
[voice from the other side - Sha'Tara]
Once we deliberately enter the path of expanding awareness, we have to agree with this statement:
"Everything is on its way to somewhere" ("George Malley" in the movie "Phenomenon")
Life does not end - it changes form, direction. The much debated and misunderstood term "evolution" may not apply directly to physical life but is a fact of the mind order. Life evolves at the mind level. Thoughts are forever changing and their interaction continually creates new patterns which in turn create change in the physical order. That is why predicting the future is as chancy as predicting the weather. Short term predictions are possible in a staid environment but such is rare and short-lived. It is not the nature of life to remain unchanging and predictable.
Expanding awareness (or consciousness) accepts the fact that the individuated part has no definition. It is a ghost, a shadow - a reflection of thought. Its existence is tenuous, comparable to the chop on the top of great waves on an even greater ocean. The ocean is life; the waves are patterns from interactive thoughts and the chop is the individuated life. Yet all of it is water. All of it knows itself primarily as water, yet "exists" (creates its reality) in waves and particles.
Expanding awareness expresses itself in and through its individual parts, not in its whole. Its purpose is not to return to wholeness or regain its once "pristine" state of oneness. Quite the opposite. Its goal is to move ever outward; to go "somewhere" and create changes there, or if that somewhere does not as yet exist (has not been individualized or claimed) it will create it.
You see, expanding consciousness never loses awareness of its source. Regardless of its current state or location in the great infinite, it is always connected to the source that fuels it. It doesn't have to think about that, or ponder it. There's too much to do out here.
In certain societies the process of expanding consciousness can become sidetracked for a variety of reasons. This is what has happened to Earth. Instead of mind beings expressing through bodies, Earth humanity has become bodies attempting to find fulfillment through physical senses and trying to understand "mind" and "spirit" from the operation of a physical brain.
As preposterous as this appears to expanding consciousness, it is basically how the leaders, teachers and scientists proceed. Having rejected the more logical approach to understanding how life evolves, i.e., having rejected all but the quantifiable aspects of "life" they have doomed themselves to perish in ignorance of who and what they really are. In doing so, they have also doomed their world.
True education happens at the mind level. A "mind" led school for example would not be gradable. You could not have rigid classes and grade levels. You would find kindergarten children interacting freely with "university" type students, the information passing from one to the other to the benefit of all. You would never find the terrible imbalance and educated ignorance caused by the rigid stratification of age (and even gender) now prevalent in most Earthian school systems.
Assumptions expanding awareness takes for granted: There is a unique source of infinite energy that undergirds (fuels) all of life. Life expresses only through individuation or a constant "break down" of source energy. Life never ends. Mind is ageless. I AM perfectly describes a state of mind in unfettered expanding awareness.

But, Humans Are All-Ways To Nowhere!
Infinite Exists Only After Your Death
Where You Go into It Another Story Untold!

Today I will focus on one of our great ancestors, the American Indian. They believe in the Great Spirit. Native Americans also believe that our Creator is never punishing or mean, but is a loving and just Creator. The Great Spirit is full of a joyous, wondrous and magnificent love that encircles all that desire. Native Americans do believe that death is natural and necessary in the circle of life. They believe souls to travel from ones body here on earth to the final joyous reunion with our Creator. There may also be various beliefs as to what if any objects are needed to make ones Spirit journey and what needs to be done to the body left behind. A patient who is nearing death often reports visits and conversations with deceased relatives.
May peace and the love of our Creator be with you,

I can relate more to the 'shifting sand' theory. Versatility is the key to survival and our sanity. Nice piece and a lot to ponder.

Jansen makes a good point, building things on calcified pertuberances, instead on the constant shifting sands, but I guess it's more comforable to go, with what we know, instead courage, fear we sow. Bless ya Regies, another thought provoking piece, thank you.
Cheers,
