Here’s hat I’ve learned so far about the evolution of our conscious existence. Might be right. Might be wrong. Might be both.
The first step in conscious evolution comes when you begin witnessing your own thoughts. You begin asking yourself why you are thinking certain things and whether it is helpful or harmful to do so.
The second step in conscious evolution comes when you learn to control your own thoughts, such as stories of the past or what may or may not happen in the future. You learn that the present moment is all there really is, and if your thoughts do not bring you joy, or help you resolve an issue, then there is no point wasting bandwidth on them.
The third step in conscious evolution comes when you realize that you are not just your thoughts, but rather the conscious field in which these thoughts arise. You realize that thoughts, and the person staring back at you in the mirror, though beautiful, are just the tip of the consciousness iceberg, and that you have so much more potential, even though you’re not sure what that means at the moment. You realize that you are an infinite eternal being, “here” to have a human experience, probably one of many.
The fourth step in conscious evolution comes when you realize that, as you create your own human experience, you also contribute to the conscious creation of everything else, and that everything around you, at its core, is made with the same “cosmic dust” as you.
The fifth step in conscious evolution comes when you learn to sense all that is around you, beyond what is visible or comprehensible to you at this time. This is where I’m stuck at the moment. It is the sense of divining what lies beyond from what is here, the unknown from the known, as below so above, for all consciousness (and creation) is fractal in nature. This is where beliefs fight progress. Much awareness and trust is needed to make this leap.
The sixth step in conscious evolution, I imagine, would be to learn how to intentionally influence and manipulate conscious reality. Pretty much the same as the second step. Fractal. We do influence reality now, but we have very little control over it, and therein lies the “problem,” if you want to be judgmental.
That’s all I know so far. From here, who knows. I’ll keep you posted.
To infinity and beyond.
Your pal,
Paul
