Leveling Up Your Consciousness (And The Collective) - Week #37 of The Awakening Journey
Consciousness means being aware of being aware. Aware of self, others, humanity, and all beings, the space and environment, the earth, the cosmos, and our place in it. Are you ready to level up your consciousness? To stretch beyond your comfort zone? Are you committed to sitting with the questions, reflecting, spending time contemplating, and being open?
Why Should You Worry About Consciousness?
Because we are all at some level unconscious. And when we are unconscious, we are often guided by the voice of ego. You now know from experience when you listen to ego and make decisions from that place, it doesn’t work out well.
We create chaos in our own environment, we operate from fear, and to expand to the bigger world, that is how wars are started and continue on.
The Voice of Consciousness
We all have an inner voice of wisdom, we will call it The Voice of Consciousness, the Voice of our Higher Self. By listening to and making decisions based on our connection to the Voice of our consciousness, we start to know things, and we create in a way we previously did not.
When you listen at this level, you transcend the earthly garbage that drives so many of us to make choices against ourselves. And instead, make strong decisions that support something bigger than ourselves. You raise the collective consciousness when you do this.
How to Level Up Your Own Consciousness
You become aware of and listen to your higher self, the Voice of Consciousness. Then you commit to raising the collective consciousness.
Raise The Collective Consciousness
So what exactly is the collective consciousness? Think of it as a field of awareness created by human beings’ vibes. You know how sometimes you can walk into a room and feel immediately what is going on in that room? It might be tense or stressful. And vice versa, it might be that you walk into a room and it fills you with joy as soon as you come through the doorway.
When you notice this, that is dialing into the collective field of awareness. The Collective Consciousness. It’s everywhere and all around us & we simply open up to it.
How do you raise the collective consciousness: The short answer is by raising your own consciousness. Doing your work, clearing out what doesn’t serve. Bring in the light. Dialing into the collective in a deeper way.
What Is The Impact On The World?
This is how we change what is happening in the world. It’s the only way. Not through being angry and hateful toward our persecutors. (Because then we become persecutors ourselves.)
We do it intentionally, by looking within, raising our own consciousness, and then
Consciously Connecting to the Collective.
Here is an example of how this works in real life:
I host meetings with groups of people every week for a number of years now.
Sometimes the meetings are really good. Sometimes they are great. And often, they raise the level of the collective consciousness.
One can feel the energy vibrating in the space at the completion of our meeting. There is a hushed reverence, or often a lightness and the space embodies pure joy and bliss.
We have the same structure each week.
What is different?
We decide to raise the collective and we commit.
We let go of our ego and put it away in a box for the allotted time.
We communicate our commitment to the collective.
We trust one another and lean into (the collective).
This Week’s Challenge
For one whole day, imagine you are being the Voice of the Consciousness, speaking for your Higher Self.
Listen to whatever message comes through and make decisions based on that advice.
Notice at the end of the day what was the impact on yourself and the environment around you.
Remember the present moment is where your best life happens.
With love, presence, and gratitude,
