One of the most important things I learned from my guru!
Being Conscious
-by Ma Mokshapriya Shakti
When we are aware of ourselves, we shift from the mental doing mode to our intuitive mind “being” mode. When we are in a state of being, whatever we are doing, we are doing at this moment, without comparison. This is often referred to as “being in the flow.” Once we are in a “flow,” our actions become effortless and tensionless, because they come from an inner knowing.
When we learn things, it is knowledge; when we integrate and apply that knowledge, it becomes wisdom. This wisdom is always with us if we allow our intuition to flow. That is why it becomes effortless.
All knowledge, wisdom, and abilities are within us. We have clouded these. Just like the sun is always present, but we do not see it when the clouds are there. When we decided to incarnate this time, we brought with us certain knowledge that we attained in other lives that will help us in this life. This explains child protegees. This knowledge is what then creates our dharma or life tendencies. These tendencies usually constitute our purpose in life.
When we follow our dharma, we feel fulfilled. But to do so, we need to accept that we are more than this physical body and mind. We have more power than we can comprehend. We are here to experiment with a fraction of divine power. Religions state that we are made in the image of God, and God is omnipresent. Ma Yoga Shakti states: “Truthfully speaking, humans are made in the image of God. Every man or woman is a God in miniature or a God in the making. Every individual is a little Brahma a little Vishnu and a little Shiva in his or her own sphere, whose function is to create, promote or destroy.
Through our thoughts, desires, and emotions, we are creating our environment. Whatever energy or thought, emotion, or desire we send out, it goes from us in an infinity sign and attracts similar energy. We might be wishing consciously, but unconsciously, we have opposing energy. I went to a conference once, and the narrator asked us to take out a piece of paper. The instruction was to write about our feelings regarding money and abundance. Many wrote that “Money is the root of all evil.” Others, “it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God”. Then the question to the audience was: If you were money, would you like to go to someone who really does not want you? This was a deep eye-opener. The belief systems that are installed in our subconscious mind help or prevent us from attaining our goals.
We have the power to create. In essence, we have created this life. The East calls this life maya or illusion. Not that life does not exist, but that what we see, we have projected just like a hologram. We are more than our physical existence. Every atom has Divine energy or consciousness. Science can not explain the emptiness in the atom. But the philosophers call it consciousness. Without consciousness, we do not exist. We accept the fact that we have a soul, and after death, the body ceases to exist because the soul leaves. It is consciousness that leaves.
So when we ask you “to be conscious,” we are asking for you to know who you are and accept yourself and just flow in the process. We need to accept that we are more than this body and mind. Our inner consciousness then becomes part of our being. A simple example is when we become a parent, we know what the baby needs intuitively. That knowledge flows from us effortlessly if we do not question ourselves. Similarly, whenever we encounter a situation, our first response comes from intuition, sometimes referred to as gut feeling. When we begin to question and bring it into the mind, the mind, along with the ego, begins to analyze, compare, and question, and the flow is gone.
Consciousness gives us energy. With that energy, we are able to create our reality. Every thought or action is an energy that creates a reaction. Energy does not discriminate between right or wrong; it is just energy. Whatever we give energy to, we manifest. If we are conscious of our Being, then we will become not only mindful, but also an instrument of the Divine. We begin to fulfill the purpose of our life and create meaningful experiences. Everything we need to fulfil our purpose in this life is within us. We need to step back from our mind and its prejudices and allow our inner self to flow,
Intuition is always with us; it may have atrophied due to lack of use. We start with small steps. When available, begin to follow the gut feeling and see the results. Slowly, we begin to trust the process. With intuition we are responding to energy. A person may say something, but the energy does not match. Though intuition we will know. Through intuition we also receive knowledge from our higher soul selves. None of us came to earth alone. We have guardian angels that transmit guidance to us through intuition. So let us become aware of our divine consciousness and create a life that we wish. When we follow our souls purpose we feel fulfilled.
“Make yourself familiar with the angels and behold them frequently in sprit; for without being seen, they are present within you.” St. Francis de Sales
