CONNECTING WITH SOURCE CONSCIOUSNESS

The Quantum Field

Working with non-duality eventually results in a direct experience of non-dual reality. This experience is way beyond any philosophy, theology, or scientific principle. So, the language we use to begin this work has its limits, but this language is our main road map for our inner journey until we arrive at the outskirts of our destination which is the direct experience we are approaching. At this point the map is no longer needed! It is, therefore useful to clarify just a few basic concepts before we can transcend the entire conceptual mind.

Quantum physics is pointing very directly at the idea of an intelligent, energetic foundation of reality. Proof? Not yet, but a very fascinating endorsement of what many ancient traditions have expressed in their often poetic, cryptic languages. A view that sees Consciousness as the Primal aspect of existence points directly to the essence of many varied mystical visions of the nature of reality. Apparently, infinity goes in two directions; infinitely large and infinitely small. The mind just gets tired at the far end of either of these and just stops! Now we’re getting somewhere. If Consciousness is Prime then it is the Source of All that is. What other building material could there be? Any view of the Creative Force must consider that it manifests its own energy. The understanding that works for us is that this is Pure Consciousness, which can be called Unity Consciousness, Source Consciousness, Universal Mind or my personal favorite, the Mind of God.

Always, beyond dogma there is realization. Countless people have felt this realization and find it natural and in a sense inevitable for those who open to it. We can experience directly this Mind of God, this quantum field, this Unity Consciousness . This field is a vast, empty spaciousness which contains no thing but infinite possibilities. It is the ordering principle, the Logos, the unimaginable magnificence of the Divine Spirit. It manifests as both energy and frequency; as intelligence and love.

Now, the question arises, ”Ok, how do we approach this experience?”. Yes, the best question. I will now get to the focus of this writing and share what I have found to be a simple and effective road map into the quantum reality.

1. Are you sure you want to do this? Why? Your motivation is crucial. Entering the non-dual state involves the loss, in the meditation at least, of all that you think yourself to be. We go beyond our physical form, beyond our name and labels, we step away from our past and all that we think we are, we see the impermanence of the ego personality. It’s a big step. It literally takes a leap of faith into the totally unknown. It’s worth it, but it is definitely uncertain. Many view the field as an aspect of attraction. Like a cosmic Amazon.com. And yes, it is that also, only the inventory is infinite. My view is to avoid that motivation. It will be an important option later, but to begin,the most effective motive is a deep, passionate thirst for a direct confrontation with Truth. Not a debatable word-based opinionated view, but the energetic frequency of the Mind of God. Are you willing to receive the almost overwhelming energy of Divine Love coursing through your body, mind and spirit? No worries, it’s very gentle, but definitely transformative. So, contemplate all this to begin

2. And now the meditation. A regular time and place is helpful. Regular practice is the most effective. All meditations are good, don’t judge the results, just show up. The idea is Not to control the mind. Let thoughts come and go, no struggle. RELAX. Sit comfortably in a way you can maintain for an extended time. 10-15 min is a good start, go longer with practice.

3. RELAX: Bring your awareness into the present moment, the Sacred Now. Let go of the past present and future, forget time. Be comfortable and relaxed in body and mind.

4. BREATHE: Connect to your breath. To begin just observe your breath flowing in and out. There are more advanced techniques, but for now just breathe naturally.

5. FIND the OBSERVER: As you watch your breath, become aware of this aspect of your mind that is observing. This is the OBSERVER or witness. When thoughts arise, as they will ( don’t worry) just observe them and return to your breath. This alone can be your meditation for a short time until it becomes comfortable. Finding the Observer is vital at this point, cultivate that awareness. You are being aware of being aware. Essential point!

6. HEART DOOR: Now move this awareness into your chest area. This is an energy center related to love, balance, harmony, connection and more. It governs the heart organ and the lungs, but we are entering a very subtle energy and moving away from the idea of being a dense physical body. Begin to feel an amplified sensation of love. Think of loved ones, feel the expansion in the chest. Amplify the love with a feeling of joyful freedom and deep gratitude for all that life contains. Feel it, not so much thought, the energy is the point. Focus the awareness of the observer on that sensation. Feel worthy and welcomed.

7. EXPAND YOUR AWARENESS: Move your awareness out past the surface of your skin and merge with the electro-magnetic field that surrounds your body. It is an energy field that extends about the distance of your outstretched arms, a little more even. Feel that you are this field of energy and that your body is becoming like light. Just be aware of being that energy. Recognize it as pure consciousness. Feel that it is more real than your physical body.

8. PRAY: By prayer I mean engage in a dialogue with Higher Consciousness. One of the mysteries of all of this is that the infinite vastness of the ever-expanding Universe somehow relates to us personally. We are all a unique expression of Source Consciousness and we are of one essence. Like the classic wave and ocean analogy. Anyhow we can ask for help, guidance, clarity, whatever. It is very personal. This overlaps into duality and yet, eventually, we realize that consciousness is experiencing consciousness and there is only One. So, don’t hesitate to dialogue if it feels right. If not skip this step, use it as needed or desired. It can be a simple acknowledgement of the Sacred and your very personal relationship with that.

9. TRANSITION: Now move your awareness into the center of your head. Feel as though your higher mind has invited you into your true self. It has been functioning as the Observer and appearing as a part of the ego. It is not that. It is your own innate divinity. The spark of God that you truly are. Love and joy can and should appear. Just feel that sensation. You have now entered the most sacred aspect of your incarnated Being. Be happy! You’re almost home!

10. EMBRACING UNTIY CONSCIUOSNESS: Now, reconnect with your breath, feel that your awareness is gently rising up through the crown of your head. Visualize a point of connection with the quantum field. Picture it as you like. At the entrance, it is time to mentally affirm that you are no longer a material body; you have no name ,age, race or gender; there is no sense of self, no ego personality, no labels. There is only a singular NOW that expands in all directions, in effect no time. You are in no specific place or space. Let your awareness expand into a black empty ocean of pure consciousness. THEN, feel that your consciousness, your awareness has merged with the ONE. This One is the Source of all existence, of All That Is. Surrender to this One, dissolve into it. You become it; it becomes you. Have no expectations. If you feel something fine, if you do not, equally fine. You are in the quantum field even if you don’t feel anything special. Stay with this, in time you will have no doubts. It’s a bit like moving to a new town, it takes awhile to learn your way around. Be aware of being pure awareness. Feel completely open to receiving Divine energy, especially open to love. Stay there as long as you can. If the mind gets active go back to the breath and reconnect. If you honor the sacredness of the breath it can instantly return you to where you were. Don’t be concerned about thought interruptions. Just don’t feed them. Your ego may not like this at all and may make feeble attempts to sabotage your efforts. Ask it gently to back off! It will catch on eventually.

11. RETURN: When you feel it is time, allow this energy and frequency to reenter your body thru the crown of your head. Guide it back down into the heart. Hold it there. Feel deep gratitude and the other emotions. Feel completely blessed. Feel the sacredness of your body and your whole being. Be happy and at peace. Stay with that and when you feel the time is right return back to the ordinary material world. See it with new eyes and a new mind and heart. Feel a sense of renewal and wholeness.

12. NOTE: Intentions can be released at steps 8 or 10,but that’s another matter. Learn to connect first! NAMASTE
