New Ways of Being

Spiritual teacher Craig Hamilton is one who writes some great articles about meditating and also about the evolution of consciousness. In this episode I read another short article of his about how to align yourself with the evolutionary impulse - in other words with the evolving universe itself. One of the things he said was that "The universe IS a process of evolution." It is the nature of the universe to evolve towards ever greater complexity and ever-more fully developed consciousness and creativity based on that consciousness. The universe is constantly calling us to actively participate. You can learn more about Craig Hamilton at CraigHamiltonGlobal.com.

In this episode, I provide 1) updates on my channeling of the Council of Highly Evolved Beings and on development of the We Can Change the World book, and 2) some observations about organizations and communities that are consciousness-related, the call of evolution, more scientific discoveries, and the importance of realizing you're being called to something greater.

This episode is in recognition that the evolution of consciousness is not only something that happens in the universe, it is at a critical stage and time right now. All human beings are being called to awaken, evolve, and create a world that reflects the consciousness, unity, and wholeness intended by the divine, universal intelligence. The world currently, at least what is continuously in US news, reflects the consciousness of separation, competition, inequity, and corruption. (And, of course, I'm very aware that there is much good in the world too.) But if we humans shift to the consciousness of unity, everything will begin to change. If we make that shift, we will gain new creative powers - based on higher perspectives, an understanding of wholeness, and joining together - to completely remake the world. My research shows me that we all are being called to join the conscious evolution that is underway right now. But people must make time for silence and inner awareness to hear or feel the call.

In this episode I talk about and show some of my crystals and their healing and metaphysical properties. I now have a growing collection of stones and crystals and have acquired most of them because of specific healing properties that I desired to experience.

In this episode I go fairly in-depth in answering the question: "What is consciousness?". This is for people who have never really studied consciousness or given it much thought or for people wanting to explore it more deeply. This is important because most people are stuck in separation and fear. Raising your consciousness, or becoming more mindful and aware, can let you shift into more effective and powerful ways of being. When people operate from higher ways of being, such as unity and love, they begin to also change the world around them in positive ways. AND NOW, because science has recently learned that consciousness is a fundamental aspect of the universe itself, having a better understanding of consciousness and the related concept of wholeness will help you more fully align yourself with the universe so you can create the life experiences you truly desire.

Guests on this episode are Brian Swimme, well-known cosmologist, and Monica DeRaspe-Bolles, philosopher. They co-authored the book The Story of the Noosphere and, because the noosphere is consciousness on Earth, it clearly relates to the topic of consciousness and changing the world. You will find this conversation to be fascinating and enlightening. Brian and Monica devoted years in fully understanding the noosphere - a term that Pierre Teilhard de Chardin made famous - and they offer a perspective that is important to humanity at this time of crisis in the world. The noosphere is the sphere of collective consciousness on Earth and is dominated by human consciousness and interpersonal relationships. Cosmologically, they clearly also understand that the evolution of the noosphere is directly related to the unified consciousness of the universe and its progressive physical and conscious evolution. They pointed out that the noosphere is actively participating in, and even guiding, its own conscious evolution. So when we talk about raising human consciousness, it is a collective act of the noosphere, and consciousness is continuously evolving on Earth in both inner and outer aspects. The external world always reflects our level of consciousness in how we behave, what we create, and in all relationships. Right now the state of the world is telling us it's time for all human beings to pay more attention to our inner states of being, become more aware, expand empathy, and live more consciously of the world as a whole. I have read their book; it is incredible and beautiful, organized in a creative new way; and I love it. It is a must read for anyone looking for fresh, wholistic, and inspirational understanding of humanity, human consciousness, and the potential for our future.

If you want to learn about raising consciousness and what that has to do with changing the world, watch this episode with guest Dr. Julie Krull. All of my episodes on "Consciousness and Changing the World" are the real deal and very insightful and helpful, but Julie is a true wayshower who is leading the way on this subject. She had a near death experience at age 4 that enabled her to begin talking with God, and at age 11 she was given a "picture" of how she could help humanity evolve. We talked about how the evolutionary impulse is moving through humanity now and awakening people to the need to shift to higher consciousness. She said the divine Source is present in the world and the transformation is being guided. It happens through embodying our inherent divinity which allows us to realize a new more joyful, creative, vibrant way of being. Don't miss this one!

You will love Tezikeah Gabriel in this episode. She is the executive director of Pathways to Peace, and she is also a well-known consultant to non-profit organizations through Gabriel Associates. We talked about changing the world through unitive consciousness, and in her role working for peace in the world, she shares, teaches, and applies unitive consciousness - which she defines as a deep awareness that all is one - every day. She said this: "Unitive consciousness is about bringing love into every interaction and into everything you do.", and "If you practice it, you will see the world in a whole new light, love will come back to you many times over, and life will expand in wonderous ways." That is indeed what higher consciousness and love are, and it doesn't have to be hard. This was a delightful conversation that you won't want to miss.

Ora Nadrich is a well-known mindfulness teacher and author of Says Who?, Live True, and Time to Awaken, and she is my guest in this episode to talk about how we can change the world by raising our consciousness. She defines mindfulness as present moment awareness - that is, being aware in the present. You can be aware of your thoughts, feelings, and sensory information about the world. When you are giving your full attention to what someone else is saying to you, that is true mindfulness. But people often "half listen" to what someone is saying and give the other half of their attention to thinking about what they want to say next or other things. Being fully aware is a very powerful way of becoming more conscious. She also said that people often give their attention to negative and fear-based thoughts and don't question those thoughts, and that is disempowering or even self-destructive. This episode is full of her wisdom on mindfulness and making a difference in the world. DON'T MISS IT! Learn more about Ora at OraNadrich.com.

In this book, I talk again about the value of hearing God's words as taken directly from God's messages. I read chapters 15-17 from the book Awaken the Species by Neale Donald Walsch. He channeled a lengthy conversation (over many weeks) on the topic of awakening humanity to their true nature - which is as sentient beings within and part of the Divine unity of the conscious, living, and purposefully evolving Universe. The chapters in the book are relatively short but full of much wisdom. These 3 chapters are about the first 4 behaviors (from a list of 16) of highly evolved beings. Evolution of sentient species, to be clear, is all about evolving in consciousness. When you understand the nature of the Universe, as recently understood by science, it brings this discussion into much clearer and more helpful focus.

This episode is focused on the issue that humanity is coming to a tipping point after which humanity will either evolve or devolve. Our evolution is specifically conscious evolution, which implies evolution of human consciousness, and because of the very nature of consciousness, it means we begin to grow as a species and begin to change the world for the better and create better lives for all. Devolution, on the other hand, implies that things get worse, likely with major wars and all social systems falling into full breakdown or collapse, and human civilization likely to collapse as well. I'm calling on all humans - Gaians are those who see the Earth as a living entity that is evolving along with us - to choose the path of evolution. The episode was recorded totally ad hoc, unscripted and with only a rough outline, so it is unpolished for sure, but it is the authentic me telling the audience that we do have the potential to come together and choose evolution. It begins by more people becoming aware of what conscious evolution is and then choosing the path of conscious evolution.

My guest in this episode is Adam Howland, author of the book "The UnTruth of Kindness". We talked about experiences and perspectives in our own lives and how those have changed our understanding of ourselves and the universe that we are part of. Adam came to believe that light and love are the energies that interconnect life and all things. For him, learning a mindfulness practice led to breakthroughs and awakenings. And he shared his struggles to get family members and others to open and up and have conversations about spirituality. But we agreed that it is useful and important if we can get others to open up and have mutual explorations of life and ideas and that can begin by simply being curious and asking questions without being threatening or defensive.

This episode is a super-informative conversation with Swami Nityananda who heads the Awake Yoga Meditation community in Baltimore, Maryland. The conversation focused on how we can change our consciousness to be happier and more fulfilled in our lives and even change the world. Swami points out that conscious creation is everyone's divine birthright since we are all part of the Divine - even if we're not aware of that fact or how to use that knowledge. You are able to pay attention and choose, and that is central to conscious creation. You tell the Divine what you want more of by going within and asking yourself what you would love to create, then feel the feeling of having it, and come back to that feeling often. Becoming aware and choosing enable you to shift your consciousness. Be that which you desire. Be the love and be the abundance you desire. I strongly recommend that you listen to Swami's wonderfully clear explanations of how to respond to life's challenges and then open to the best in life instead.
