In this chaotic world, it is easy to lose the feeling of connection with God, Creator, the Great Mystery, or whatever name you give to that which really is beyond all name or label.

You begin to look outside of yourself, and what you see can be horrifying. Unloving acts of terror. Regular assaults on the environment and Mother Earth. Bosses who treat you like a slave. Companies which routinely take your money, and don’t deliver what they say you are paying for. Drivers who cut you off, or won’t let you merge into their lane. People who are rude to you, and don’t seem to care at all.

How can you feel connected to God, when you are trapped in this nightmare?

First of all, consider that it is indeed a nightmare, one that you can wake up from. Look inside you. There you will find your connection to God. Inside you is a subtle energy power. It may look like space, like nothing at all, but you will be in awe of its power. Physicists have even confirmed that within 1/5 teaspoon of space lies more power than in all the material known universe combined.

Within this space is beingness. And this beingness is God.

You are connected to God in ways you may have never imagined, if you generally think of God as a fatherly being who resides outside of you.

But even Jesus taught, through metaphor and parables, about the many forms of God: God as light, God as love, God as Father/Creator, God as Son, and God as Holy Spirit.

Consider that you are one in being with the Father/Creator. That this beingness flows through you, is felt as a subtle energy presence, and is what is described as Holy Spirit.

Imagine Father/Creator energy as Spirit taking shape as material form. Then all forms are one in being with the Father, for they are God at their Source. At your source, you too are one in being with the Father. Your soul is a cell in the body of God.

A marriage takes place between Spirit energy and material form, giving birth to the Son, Love energy itself. Love is a fundamental field of energy. The unifying force of Spirit and matter, which swirls us all together as one being.

This unified field is called by us the field of consciousness as a whole. It is Christ Consciousness itself, which Jesus came to radiate into the world. It is the primary field which serves as a template or blueprint for forms to materialize, as they transform from one form of energy to another, from torsional fields of superluminal light to the slower light electromagnetic bodies we usually think we are.

Through this transformative process of creation, as you are birthed into the individual soul consciousness that you are, first you are Love, Consciousness itself, then you take shape as you.

Re-turn to this connection that you inherently have with God. You are one in being with God, birthed as love, light, pure consciousness at your core, and clothed as a son or daughter of God.

The feeling of subtle energy presence, the awareness of the Holy Spirit, courses through your veins as a reminder of who you are. An interconnected part in the Whole of All That Is that we name God.

Be true to who you are. When you do, you radiate love to all who surround you, serving as a cell in the body of Christ consciousness, which is Love. From this state of your highest consciousness, you are in touch with God consciously; you register, through your intuition, your highest purpose for being here now; and you know what you are called to create through the love that you are.

 
What is meant by “higher consciousness” anyway?

The field of quantum physics has brought to humanity a new understanding of an invisible world of energy vibration and a fundamental field we experience as consciousness. And though the specifics are still being debated within the field itself, let alone outside by the rest of us, we do know enough to enjoy greater insight into what is meant by “higher consciousness”.

Let me explain consciousness in terms of an array of faster/higher and slower/lower energy frequency vibrations, and the information they carry.

The invisible world of energy is a world where separation, or distinction among fields and forms of energy, is based upon frequency or speed of vibration. Einstein’s famous equation of E=MC 2 tells us that energy takes shape as matter, or matter sheds its form and appears as energy, depending upon the speed of its light.

Most related to matter, electromagnetism is a tiny spectrum of slower frequency light (a photon is a single unit of light), which corresponds to the red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet color informational bandwidths. This is the range of energy vibration that gives us our perceptions of time and space, and material objects.

But there is much more energy than meets the eye!

Recently, scientists have been able to name and categorize a type of energy that disobeys the electromagnetic laws of time and space: torsion fields. Torsion seems to involve fields of energy vibration so fast that they take no time or space at all to travel. At this superluminal level of vibration, all is interconnected as one synchronized field. When one part of this unified field is effected, the entire field is so effected. At torsion levels of higher vibration, information is continuously and immediately shared among all that is.

With information apparently an inherent aspect of its power, energy seems to be highly intelligent by its very nature. Thus, I have come to very simply define consciousness as a matrix of energy carrying information. (Since the varying fields of energy differ in the type of information they carry, consciousness itself is differentiated by the quantity and quality of information it contains.)

Quantum physicists are now saying that it is the field of consciousness that is our primary and fundamental level of existence, and it is consciousness as a field that serves as the blueprint field for material reality.

Higher consciousness literally refers to fields of consciousness involving faster and higher frequency fields of energy, such as torsion, and therefore higher states of informational awareness and experiential beingness. And, scientifically, torsion fields have been correlated with peak states, intuitive or direct knowing, extrasensory perception, clairvoyance, precognition, remote viewing, long distance energy healing, and other types of “magical” or psychic phenomena that involve nonlocal and synchronized sharing of information.

While peak states do vary (because each individual represents a unique fingerprint of energy we refer to as the soul), states of higher consciousness have in common the sense of oneness, interconnectedness, and love that is incomprehensible to those who have not experienced them consciously.

People, who live from such states of higher consciousness, are recognized by the information they bring to all of us and the higher values by which they live their lives. Their values shift because their perceptual field has shifted, and they can no longer see separation as those who are still living from lower, slower, more electromagnetic fields of energy and awareness. Their message to us:  that we should love all forms of life inclusively and unconditionally because all is one in being, that we are love itself, and that all we really need to do is to be the loving higher consciousness that we are at our core.

What’s a “chakra”? And why might you want to know about it?

Chakras are energy vortices, like spinning windmills, generating power that flows into and out of your physical body. They really are a big deal!

They serve as intake and outtake valves of information, communicating essential messages between you and the interconnected universe. Between you and your soul, and your even broader quantum self. Between you, as your individual consciousness, and All That Is as wholeness or unity consciousness. These messages can be received/transmitted subconsciously or consciously. The more you know about your energy chakras, the more consciously you can be involved in these subtle energy communications.

You’ve likely heard there are seven chakras. Well, in reality, there are more than you could ever count. But the seven major are like the seven largest highway intersections in your city, compared to the multitude of crisscrossing smaller highways, tinier roads and dirt paths. For chakra vortices arise from the merging and intersecting of your energy channels or highways (called meridians in acupuncture, Eastern medicine and psychology).

The chakras transmit information among your energy spheres or bodies. You may have heard of your aura? Well, that is the most visible or detectable sphere of energy and consciousness which surrounds the body, and is comprised of largely electromagnetic fields, mixed with non-local torsion fields (visit the Quantum Physics & Psychology page under Soul Work). That’s about as far as we’ve come with our scientific understanding. But you live within an infinite array of energy or consciousness bodies. And, where you focus your consciousness, determines your experience within consciousness.

What are these seven major chakras, which transfer information (as consciousness) among your energy bodies? I will briefly discuss them next, in order from the slowest to fastest frequency vortices.

• Physical – The physical or “root’ chakra, as a vortex of energy carrying information, brings in data about the physical world, about material things. It gives you the grounded sense of a physical “I”, and moves you toward self-preservation and physical health activities. It comprises your autopilot, neuroplastic self and instinctual/cellular intelligence, and is especially connected to the base of your spine.
• Emotional – The emotional or “sacral” chakra gives you a sense of “I-You” awareness. It brings you your sense of relationship with all that you see and feel, in the form of a pleasant or unpleasant emotions. That which resonates with your own unique energy field registers in your awareness as “like” you. That which doesn’t resonate with you, registers as “not like” you. People who are very tuned into this vortex of energy are called empaths; they literally feel what you feel as you feel it. Not only that, they feel the emotional energy of all things and collectively. This is the seat of emotional/social intelligence, and it governs the body in the area of your reproductive organs.
• Mental – The third mental or “solar plexus” chakra spins in the area of your stomach and enteric nervous system, which is why you tend toward nausea or digestive/stomach pain when you lose yourself within negative and catastrophic thinking. This chakra gives you your sense of personal mind and individual thought. It helps you rationalize, analyze and problem solve. Your task to balance this chakra area is to build up your sense of personal power or ego and learn personal achievement. But not for selfish gain. Instead it is for the purpose of constructively building the ego, so that it may be in service of your soul. The more you learn to quiet, at will, this lower mental energy we call thought, the more you will hear the subtle voice of your soul. Then your thoughts can be put to good use, as they come into synchrony with your soul.
• Heart – The fourth chakra is called the heart chakra, not only because it is located in the etheric space in front of and in back of your physical heart, but too because it brings you the knowledge of higher love. This is the seat of your soul in your physical body. When your consciousness is focused in your wide-open heart chakra, you fill yourself up with the wholeness of unconditional love. It is this love that gives you the sense of connectedness that you seek, moves you as a conscious soul in your daily activity, and comes in as intuitive or direct knowing. Within this energy area, you naturally feel responsible for your part in the whole, and make it your life mission. You naturally are compassionate and forgiving. Your sense of self becomes a “We”, a collective awareness where you are they and they are you. All is interconnected in this subtle heart field.
• Throat – The fifth chakra is referred to as the throat chakra since it is located in the area of the neck and throat. When this vortex of energy is allowed to be open and flowing, you use your voice in the service of your soul. You create for the good of all. This is the seat of your highest creativity. When you are creating to help others, as you do when using your throat chakra energy, you really begin to invite the Law of Attraction to synchronize your life.
• Third Eye – The sixth chakra is a vortex of energy which is located at a point between your two physical eyes. It is the coherently organized and laser-like field of energy, referred to in the Bible as “thine eye made singular”. It brings you higher sight, visionary and psychic intelligence. When this vortex is spinning unrestrictedly, you see into the quantum field of potentiality what has yet to be made manifest. You see opportunity where others see problems. You will receive “downloads” of information, in a way that others may consider you a genius. As your mind is pointed and prepared, you will receive.
• Seventh – The seventh chakra spins above the crown of your physical head. It brings you inspiration and the wisdom of Divine Will. When this vortex is open, you will feel inspired with Spirit. You may use this gateway to go out of body during meditation or sleep, or during a near-death experience. This is the door to transcendent consciousness, where your personal sense of self sacrifices itself, and dissolves in the bliss of oneness.

When you’re aligned with soul, your life IS your creative project.  This is quite different from thinking of creativity as something to do to relax and unwind from a busy day at work, like playing guitar as a hobby, singing in a local ensemble, learning how to make pottery, or knitting while you watch television. In ego, you feel disconnected from your creative flow, and so you make attempts here and there to get it back. But it never quite feels enough. 

In soul, you naturally are aware that you are here to participate in the process of creating this world, as the unique stream of energies that you naturally are at your core. You bring a set of qualities here that no one else can duplicate – a particular perspective, a combined set of interests and skills, a specific passion that never goes away – and it is your opportunity to bring your vision forward through the life and love that you are. That is what I mean when I tell you that your life is to be your creative project.

How do you start?

Listen to that subtle voice inside that tells you intuitively in which direction to head next. That is the voice of your soul. When your mind is quiet, you know it communicates with you. That is often the very reason you drown it out with other people’s voices. It scares you to go out on this limb, to be different from those you see around you. You’re afraid, perhaps even traumatized, that you’ll be criticized and rejected.

Allow your fears to be felt and known. Fear is not a problem in itself. With your attention and compassion, your fear will melt within the safety of your love. Consider that all of those people who make the widest impact in our world inevitably are rejected by those who cling to the status quo. Accept it as a fact. But not as a failure. Don’t jump to the conclusion that their rejection of you has anything to do with failure on your part. Realize that most of the time it says something about where they are in their consciousness, and how where you are in yours is substantially different. When you are attempting to change the world in a dramatic way, you are in a highly shifted state of consciousness from the majority of society. Re-frame failure as one-pointed persistence.

Give up perfectionism. It doesn’t exist within a single individual. Perfection lies in the diversity of life. When you connect with soul consciousness, you inevitably become aware of what you feel called to do in your highest dreams. Within balance, let go of all which does not serve this purpose. Practice faith, the trust in the unknown guidance you will receive through intuition and synchronicity. Have courage. Find others, even across the globe, who seem to get you and feel similar callings as you.

Be you. That is the creative work of your soul, stirring simply and mysteriously through you as you.
