Chapter 2 Conscious Evolution
“Complexity, like the wave, is made up of infinite possibility. Simplicity, like the individual particles that make up the wave, is needed for an individual to find where he or she is at and what his or her next step should be.” P. 36 WS
“Everything from the past, every teaching and every concept is as of this moment obsolete.” P 36 WS
Yesterday’s Mana:
“Though we cherish our hard-earned concepts, unless we accept their obsolescence, we are frozen in our innate desire for security.” Alan Watts from the Wisdom of Insecurity
What does Evolution mean to me? “In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God …… The Word was made flesh. Gospel of John
“Touch me not for I am not yet ascended.” After Resurrection
Metaphysical Interpretation:
“Due to the fact that it takes time for “the Word” to evolve into its perfect material expression, evil is a kind of secondary cause. It exists as the void that precedes fulfillment.” ….. “Evil is the signature or trademark for the shadow side, which points to the light – it’s opposite.” WS p 40
Evolution of Consciousness:
“Let the mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus.” We are at Choice Point Every Day.
1. Mystical Consciousness: “The belief that direct knowledge of God, of spiritual truth, or ultimate reality is attainable through intuition, insight or illumination in a way differing from ordinary sense perception.” W.S. p.45
2. Conscious Mind – the part of the mind that is aware – awake – alive -- Conscious from Latin word “Conscire” means “to Know.”
3. SubConscious Mind – not clearly conscious but able to be made so. Filled with every experience we have had.
4. SuperConscious Mind: The Mind of Christ - all inclusive
5. Consciousness: “We are consciousness expressing ourselves as bodies.” W.S. p.50
6. Spectrum of Consciousness – Ken Wilbur – Spiral Dynamics
Reconciliation: being able to see it all as God – Oneness
100% Human and 100% Divine
Not either or -- it is Both And
Subjective and Objective are reconciled
The new self is not a refinement of the old self but a completely new self
We can be: BORN AGAIN: It can happen “In an Holy Instant.” Course in Miracles Of Joel Goldsmith in The Infinite Way as a “click” in time.
“I choose to give, easily and joyfully, for God is my source and abundance is my nature.”
May those who come for peace, be comforted.
May those who come for Truth, listen to the Spirit within.
May those who come for healing, be healed.
May those who look for God, come to realize Thou Art That.
And may we all bless each other by
Being who we have always been,
Sharing what we love and teaching what we know,
And encouraging, all people everywhere,
on their journeys to wholeness.
