NO RELIGION: CONSCIOUSNESS CREATES REALITY
You Are God
Despite how we see ourselves as singular, our individuality is a state of consciousness that unites many diverse experiences of self. Just as you have these many versions of yourself — such as mother, daughter, aunt, sister, grandmother — so it is that the wider, unified level of consciousness knows All That Is Life as extensions of itself.
This unified, eternal state of consciousness is what religion calls God, but whereas religion has set “the divine” up as being both separate from — and above — us, we each retain the power to realize that we are this infinite level of consciousness.
We are eternal consciousness choosing to be human.
To be mortal isn’t to be “fallen” or “less than”. Mortality is not a mistake. It is the only thing that eternal consciousness — the immortal — desires. We each came here to experience being individuated and mortal. There are infinite, diverse forms for consciousness to experience. No form of mortality was designed to be experienced without end.
All experiences of mortality (which are a journey into forgetting) loop around and become experiences of remembering. This means that each of us will eventually remember that not only have we been every life on Earth, but we are also all the states of consciousness that exist outside of the human experience. This is the choice to wake up and remember that we are not only the individual we know ourselves to be, but we are also the consciousness that knows itself as the collective of all.
Beyond the individuation of our physicality, we are a single, unified, eternal state of consciousness.
The experience of this life is a gift that eternal consciousness gave to itself with infinite wisdom. Being a gift given with unconditional love, your life comes with no obligations or duties. You are here to be who you are, which is something you cannot help but be.
You will evolve, no matter what you do. It is a free choice as to whether or not you focus on the idea of awakening. But, in your choice to read this book, you are most probably someone who is choosing to awaken to your wider spiritual nature.
Spiritual awakening is not experienced by focusing away from what you are. It is a journey deep into the allowance of yourself to be whatever you most clearly feel yourself to be. It is through fearlessly being yourself that you will come to not only understand why you have given this life to yourself, but you will also remember the level of consciousness from which you chose it.
My writing expresses the experience of knowing that exists at that level of consciousness. Through it, I seek to offer a vision of spirituality and consciousness free of the fear, control, intolerance, and judgment of religion.
You are infinitely free consciousness and the only “devil” or “evil” is our fear of ourselves.
No devil to demonize. No savior to save you. No religion.
Be free by unashamedly being yourself.
A Definition of Consciousness
Consciousness is awareness of what is. ‘What is’ is everything in existence, including All That Is identified as past, present, future, perceptual, or imaginary. All consciousness, regardless of whether it is within a collective or individual experience of reality, experiences some form of self. These experiences of self that can be vastly different from our own.
The One Self or The One Consciousness refers to the self that arises from the totality of all consciousness in existence. All existence occurs within its perception. Human existence is the navigation of an individuated focus through the totality of its perception.
The One Consciousness = The One Self = All Consciousness = All Definitions = All That Is = Everything in Existence = The Tao = Source Consciousness = God*
*God is everything. God includes every concept of God. There is no opposite to God. God is not less than God when it chooses to experience itself as a human.
Example: To say, “I am The One Self” is to say that you know yourself to be that which is everything in existence. It is to know that every person can say, “I am The One Self.” To know this is to step outside of the personalization and possessiveness of individuality.
All separation is an illusion.
What appears as the solidity of the outer world only exists within perception. Perception exists within consciousness. Consciousness is that which is aware of perception and experiences presence through it.
How Consciousness Creates Individuality
Physical matter is created through a perceptual projection that creates the illusion of spatial separation. In just the same way that physical-space separates one thing from another, so linear-time is the illusion of temporal separation. Time and space are perceptual projections which create the experience of the outward reality that your experience of self is contained within.
Time-space is the primary form of separation used by consciousness to create experiences of individuality (such as being human).
The outer world and your physical body are the perceptual projection of a state of consciousness that is choosing to dream of being a physical, individuated self — a self that is contained within a world of consistent solidity. You witness this ability of your consciousness to create worlds every night when you dream. However, the waking dream of your life is governed by rules of persistence and linear consistency (rules we have chosen to experience while in human form).
Waking life is a dream with self-imposed consistency.
Consciousness knows it is not separate from anything in terms of either time or space. Therefore, to become an individual requires making the choice to become unconscious of how everything is the unified projection of a single consciousness. This choice for unconsciousness creates an experience of self that possesses its own unique perspective and thereby its own unique, unfolding experience of self.
Separation is a perceptual illusion experienced within consciousness. Physical matter and linear time are forms of separation. When not within the perception of separation — which is an illusion — all consciousness experiences itself as one.
A moment of human perception is an experience of partial consciousness because it is a slice of the total perception that exists within the unified consciousness. It is one of an infinite number of ‘momentary’ perceptions that you are sequentially moving through in your creation of a mortal self that lives within linear time.
You are the one consciousness in human form.
The one consciousness uses the illusion of separation to experience itself as many individuals.
