Exploring Essential Self Esteem and Abundance, Part 6
Notes from Master Teachers
As you might know, if you have read part 1 of this series (this is part 6), it is based on lecture and seminar notes. These are from a variety of teachers of consciousness. The consolidation of the items into essay form may very well benefit this writer more than readers, though hopefully a few other readers will find comfort in them.
Let’s begin, somewhat at the beginning, just as the circle can be drawn from any point to connect again at that same place. Even in the slowed-down light waves of physical matter is the imprint of consciousness. There is what can be called the Love of that consciousness extended into all of creation, and in that is the knowledge of it.
A celebrated physicist, Max Planck said, “I regard consciousness as fundamental. I regard matter as derivative from consciousness. We cannot get behind consciousness. Everything that we talk about, everything that we regard as existing, postulates consciousness.”1
The power of consciousness is in the love and knowledge of it. Human power is in this awareness. The power of this source manifests also in the human form. When mind and soul align with this central power, the ocean of consciousness, there is realization of the light, love, knowledge, and power within the human experience.
You can take an idea of a self that is unlovable, seemingly separate from the sea, inject it into every part of your life, and then be unaware of the repercussions. You might begin to look for esteem from anyone or anything outside yourself and start to experience disappointment. This is when you think and feel ultimate value is only exterior to you.
Choice in such external experiences is unlimited, and the dimensions of consciousness to explore are infinite. You can and will continuously explore freely the vastness of the universe, both in physical and all other realms of existence. The depth of comprehension and human experience, however, lie first in exploration within the consciousness inside a personal self.
The reason is that you are also that consciousness, or the supreme state of dynamic being in your very life. When you feel and maintain this vision of that content in the form you will experience that Self in expression in complete diversity in all. You thus elevate the personal self through the ways in which you prefer to see, believe, know, think, feel, and react in each moment.
To further your knowledge and practice of this is to increase the number of tools you have for enhanced reason. You move from a survival mode to realization. You can therefore know you are accomplished as a personal self while also blended with and in expression of the self of all consciousness in daily life.
Cultural Beliefs & Continuity
You move beyond words into a world of wisdom and knowledge when you feel the experience of your expanded Self, of union with all. The human mind has long had thoughts of survival of the physical body; however, the infinite creative principle within each only ends at limits set by individual beliefs. All are capable to receive the vastness now, to envision, imagine, and create from it each moment.
Your perception takes place in the vast ocean of all being. There is peace wherever an individual realizes this consciousness within personal self first and then sustains an awareness of it while also taking care of physical things. Human history shows a continual exploration of the vastness of life, both in physical forms and all realms of existence.
Mathematical formulae in physics, as well as prophets and sages globally, reveal that the dimensions of consciousness, of Creator Source, are infinitely expansive. Death of the physical body, the biological temple of the soul, is a change of spheres of consciousness. It is a walking through a doorway in the hall and not the end of being.
Human consciousness extends greater than body-based identity alone. To be human is to be the abundance of love in form as a personal self. No one is solely an ego, body-based identity. ∆
