Our own personal level of Consciousness determines and reflects how spiritually evolved we are. On the bigger scale, the consciousness of the human race does the same.
If this is the case then it will be very beneficial for people to understand how this state of mind can be measured. Our thoughts, both conscious and subconscious, are where the understanding lies. Fortunately, we all have a very powerful and accurate inbuilt feedback system that tells us how spiritually evolved our thoughts are and therefore, how evolved we are. During the 1970’s and 1980’s, a movement opened up in the western world; a movement associated with free loving and drugs. These people were labelled as the ‘Hippies’ and some of them went around with flowers in their hair and thus the slogan ‘Flower Power’ was born. Little did we know at the time that this rebellion against the norm was going to change the way we looked at ourselves and life in general. It was a time when the old structure of conforming to the rules of acceptable social behaviour and traditions were challenged by the fledgling ‘New Age Movement.’ This period was going to change the consciousness of the western world forever.
When one structure gives way to an incoming new structure, there is a period when neither structure has control, thus a period of chaos is involved. We are currently in that state of chaos. Choices will be made that will either propel society through to the new higher level of consciousness or return it to the older and more familiar level that some people cling to through fear based attitudes and decisions.
Regardless of what choices society makes, we as individuals will also make our own choices that will create the same outcomes. Fortunately, those outcomes will not be affected by what society decides because we are all individual beings who can create our own future. Quantum physicists understand this chaos phase very well. In this case, a lower level of consciousness is giving way to a higher level. Many people, particularly those who are in their eighties and nineties, still struggle to see anything positive with this change. This is because we are still in the transition period that causes the chaos.
However, there are some of us that see where this is all heading. We see a very exciting new age unfolding – an age of equality and freedom never before seen on planet earth. This major shift in consciousness will create a new and higher level of love and harmony for those of us willing to go with the flow and change with the momentum that is currently building. There are also those who want to hang onto the old fear based survival paradigm which causes division and is the root of most of the wars. I am a great believer that there is light at the end of the tunnel; a time of great rewards for those prepared to do the hard yards in order to keep up with the change.
What do we need to do? We need to work on our own personal level of consciousness so that it stays in tune with the rhythm of change that is affecting the whole planet. How do we do that? We first need to understand our own conscious and subconscious thought patterns which create our future. We then need to become aware of those patterns through self observation using a very raw level of self honesty to uncover the real truth about ourselves. This exercise of self observation is very confronting but it is the crux to the change that will give you your freedom. This is an inner journey, not an outward one. Thoughts are energy and energy can be measured by its vibration. How aware we are of our thoughts on all levels directly affects our overall level of awareness. In turn, our level of awareness has a direct affect on our level of consciousness.
Our level of spiritual growth is tied to our level of consciousness. Therefore we can see that there is a direct link between our thoughts and our level of spirituality via this chain. This connection cannot be separated!
Thoughts – Awareness – Consciousness-Vibration – Spirituality A series of future articles will explore subjects such as how our thoughts both affect and reflect our level of consciousness and therefore our spiritual growth. This is a very practical approach which is influenced by, but not tied to, science and its understanding of the processes of thought energy and how it creates our future and level of spirituality.
