COSMIC MIND

When we stand and gaze at the night sky, searching for our favorite constellations, the moon or perhaps to see something new we are comfortable in our neighborhood. This short look into the cosmos is like looking down the street where we live in human form. It is known, comfortable, predictable and easily encompassed into our daily life – part of our world. The cosmos has never been measured by a scientific instrument, never mapped by human engineering, never visited by man-made vehicles and never seen by the human eye. We live in our neighborhood, the part we can see extended with our most powerful telescopes. Still, it is the immediate neighborhood to Earth and yet full of secrets, unknowns, suppositions and mystery.

This is a reflection of our human lives. We see, experience and know only what is in our neighborhood of experiences and what we have learned to know and expect. The eye, the mind, the form and all of its combined abilities, even at peak capacity, cannot go beyond this limit of perception. It is as if an impermeable curtain has been dropped around us, in us, so we can only experience what is known, seen, felt through our humanness. And yet, beyond our neighborhood, beyond the curtain is glory, beauty, majesty, brilliance, power extended in every inch of the cosmos for us to experience – the curtained existence of humanness is the only thing that stops us from it all – the All beyond words, beyond human understanding, beyond human ability.

The human brain/mind is also curtained and trained to believe what it has been told, and what is provable in this material world. As you search for spiritual truth you come upon concepts and ideas that you either embrace or pass by in the journey to opening the inner doorways to self/the soul and all you know and experience as an energetic, evolutionary being. And yet, even when you believe and perhaps know you are the soul, the old mental concepts of what is possible and what is truth can stand in the way of opening your knowing about what is beyond this little planet, who you are and what you truly are capable of. It is this then, the blending of the human mind/brain and the soul mind that brings into us that critical factor of knowing, remembering and experiencing our true capacities, knowledge, skills and that of each segment of the cosmos – in this universe and beyond in many other universes – that you in actuality interact with and know intimately as your “world” in the cosmos.

Your innate way of being in a physical world is as soul using the form as a tool. In this state of being the soul mind knows, decides, acts and holds all knowledge. There is no ego-personality. This soul mind is connected continually to the Council mind. The Council mind has the capacity to then connect to the cosmic mind up to the domain level of evolution. In addition, the soul and the Council have the right, even at times the responsibility, to call on higher level beings to gain information that is needed to proceed. So, in dual humanness it is difficult to conceive of what it means to be anything beyond what you have known – human. When you open communication and collaboration with your soul and Council it takes time to accept the concepts presented to you about who you truly are, how the cosmos works, what is occurring around you and how incredibly limited Earth’s perception of reality is. Even after being told, for instance, that this Earth is not your home, that this universe is not your home, even when knowing this as truth from self it takes time to adjust to the idea that you are from a universe that this little planet does not even recognize as existing, that you are not physical but energetic, that your Council members are your true family and that there are members of the Brotherhoods here now to help you from other universes. The brain cannot imagine it – and at times the imaging is tainted by old beliefs and thus skewed from truth. The only way you can step from your current limits to fully understand yourself and your true world is to let go of everything you know, open to your soul and Council mind and “remember” from there. The ego will never be able to understand, the human brain will never be able to imagine the depth and breadth of what you are, what you know, what you are capable of and your “neighborhood” far beyond the seeing ability of the human eye.

Everything that has ever occurred in the cosmos is held in the cosmic mind. This is held in the Godhead and Godhead beings. There are myths about akaschic records and many interpretations of what this is. At its core, this Hindu teaching holds truth as the record of all there is – but the interpretation of where or what this is varies widely. There is no library, no group of individuals who hold and maintain this history of the cosmos and all – literally all – that has occurred, other than the Godhead and Godhead beings. However, the intelligence of all souls is held in totality in every “atom” or component of pong energy of their being. This is how higher domain energetic beings can be in multiple places, performing multiple tasks simultaneously at once – all they know is present fully in the beingness that is present. Godhead beings, those who live at the Godhead, hold the totality of this cosmic memory in each component of pong energy in their being, and since they are ever-present everywhere at all times they hold this history within themselves everywhere. This information is then made available to those who seek it up to the domain they live in.

Your soul mind holds the memory of you from the moment of your creation at the Godhead to the present – everything is recorded. The Council mind holds the memory of each Council member – including you. As a member of this Council you have automatic access to the Council mind and all it contains. When you step from the limitations of dual human, make the decision to be soul in form you have instant access to your soul mind and the Council mind. This is not just access to a book or a record but to the entire experience as if in a hologram. Human language is a primitive means of communicating information. Humans often misunderstand each other and struggle with saying what they truly want to convey. This is not the case with telepathy. With telepathy, our true communication tool, there is a total conveyance of information that cannot be misunderstood or misinterpreted – it is complete and truth. When you move then from “talking” to telepathic communication with your soul and your Council your consciousness takes in the whole of it, the complete information in a multi-faceted format that is understanding, memory and recognition of truth.

We are so used to the limits of the human brain, the human senses, human conversation that it is a stretch to adapt to hearing, receiving and accepting input in any other way. It is critical that we understand that we have other means of gaining information, and that in order to come home to being ourselves we must shift from the old dual ways to our innate ways of being and interrelating to move forward and eventually be ourselves in form. In this we must not allow the old stories and the brain to interpret what we experience, hear or know. We must allow this input from soul and Council to expand in the stillness while sitting and focusing on it until there is true understanding in our consciousness. This alone will build the path to expand further.

Consider the three year-old. You hold a cup in your hand out to him. He picks it up and looks at it, maybe bounces it off something, turns it this way and that. He does not know the story of the cup, where it came from, what all it is used for and what care must be taken to keep it in tact. He does not know the rules about drinking from the cup rather than your cupped hand, or how to sit it just so beside his plate when he is eating. There are many stories about the cup that you may tell him over the coming years until one day he knows what you know. But he does not know what the cup means on another continent in another culture. He knows what his neighborhood knows – unless he ventures beyond it on Earth. This all takes time and with that learning there are many do this but do not do that, and a responsibility. There are repercussions to using a cup and he must learn how to utilize it appropriately in life – and associate it appropriately through use and instruction with a glass, a mug and a flute.

You are learning about who you are. Right now you may not know how to use all of the parts of you, or even remember what parts of you there are. You do not know your full story and how you came to be who you are, with the abilities you have and the knowledge you hold. Like the cup you must engage with the soul and your Council to remember one piece at a time. There is responsibility in this, but there are no consequences. If you remember how to curve energy then falter another opportunity and more memory will come forth through focus. This knowing though comes to you through the movies of reliving or demonstration from the soul mind – a total experience that is deep and lasting. It is beyond the limitation of human words – as you are beyond the limitations of the human form. This remembering requires a willingness to let go of the old, the ego-personality beliefs, and surrender into allowing yourself to remember from the divine mind – that of your soul and Council. To paint a new picture for your life you must have a blank slate knowing that all the information and tools you need are there waiting for you to call upon them within yourself and your family – the soul and Council mind.

I have noticed that the movies being made for the teenage/college generation now are fantastical – they tell myths, stories and have super-powered heroes and heroines that perform seemingly magical feats. We have in our history myths with characters also with incredible powers. Consider this – what is the truth in this? Many individuals have been born over the past three decades that have not fully fallen asleep. These super players have attributes that are familiar – close to the surface for the younger generations. If you are having difficulty, for instance, taking in who you truly are as you discuss this with your soul/Council and witness you acting now or through accessing your soul mind memory what in you has decided this is beyond “normal” or impossible, or most likely not me, “I could not possibly be that incredible.”

It is impossible for the soul mind to convey in any way anything other than truth. If you drop all of your ego filters and listen to the purity of this truth you are listening to the truth of the cosmic mind – the divinity of all that is. It is only your own self-limitation that puts labels on this, doubts this, and hesitates to embrace it.

You decide how quickly you move into Self Realization, it is your journey. Eventually you will know only from the soul mind, instantly access the Council mind without hesitation and call upon the cosmic mind as appropriate. Everything you ever wanted to know is there. Everything you will ever need to be all you are is there. Everything you need to contribute on this Earth as your soul chooses is there. Lay aside the doubt. Lay aside the self limiting habits and patterns. Enfold your soul mind into you, relying first and always on its wisdom, knowledge, love and fearless prowess.

WISDOM

Our time on this Earth has presented to us various versions of wisdom, most having to do with the mind, the books and the intellect. What is divine wisdom? This is a key attribute of the soul and with soul union you gain the wisdom you hold within you. Far beyond the human definitions of wisdom the keys to true wisdom are within you, to be unlocked by laying aside false shyness, limitations, self-judgment and all comparison to others. Wisdom lies as a great gift to be revealed in its own time, step-by-step and then fully unalterable, unshakable, embodied purely and completely through the love and compassion that you are.

As you consider wisdom, you may think of unique individuals who exemplify wisdom to you – Gandhi, Martin Luther King, Mother Theresa, etc. What these individuals had in common was their ability to go beyond the mind to the “heart” and follow that inner guidance without fear. Stepping beyond the constraints of the ego’s shoulds and musts is then the first step to wisdom -- the fearlessness of right action regardless of whether or not it is “acceptable” to others and/or known society.

When we consider the wise one, or your wisdom we must step beyond the human mind and the conditioning we have all gone through to “know.” Divine knowing extends through the soul mind and considers all there is, as we are all connected to and therefore affect all there is. None of us at this juncture would purposely harm, however in the habits and patterns of dualism we perpetuate harm if we remain in the ego, which is built through the avoidance of harm in fear. We cannot stay free then of harm and causing harm, even if it is unintentional, if we remain in this dualistic state of mind – regardless of how educated and/or how brilliant we are.

Knowing from the wisdom we all hold comes eagerly forward instantly if allowed from soul. This incredible ability we have to consider all that is seemingly in a flash, and then to “decide” right action for all there is. There is no “I” in the soul. No separate consideration of “me” first. All done is in consideration and service to the greater whole. Not service through servitude, but service through the love and joy of contributing to the wonders and beauty of creation and life.

Wisdom is a common denominator and marking stone for the soul’s evolution. As wisdom expands, so does the soul and the soul’s abilities and contributions. A handmaiden to wisdom is integrity, taking responsibility and honing to rightness in all things. In human terms we always try to be “good, kind, thoughtful.” In soul terms the flaws of these attempts are obvious because at the core we are good, kind and thoughtful if we feel safe. There is no fear in the soul and as you learn through experiences in and out of form you build your knowledge, from this expansion of knowledge your ability to consider all expands and wisdom grows.

As we move into a new way of living here on Earth we must call upon our wisdom to guide us -- the wisdom of the soul – not the learning of the mind. Remembering consciously who we are allows us to tap into this deep, nourishing well for our lives and the good of all life. Stepping beyond then, or stepping inward to tap that which we truly know results in wise choices and these wise choices are not predetermined by anything or anyone in the old lives we have lived.

When I sold everything, furnishings, house, car, etc. to leave the United States and move to France to open the seminary here bringing my few boxes of clothes and personal items with me I shocked many people – including my own family. This is not rational action, it is not “smart” and I have always been viewed as smart. It’s true; I was gifted with a great brain and have used it well. With that brain I have read thousands of books, received multiple degrees, been the head of large corporations, taught at universities – but what no one knew, and I did not fully understand back then, was that it was never my intellect that was “smart.” It was always a blending of education, experience and something else -- a knowing that I could not describe. This knowing, I realize now, was coming from my soul and when I listened life worked. When I did not, well I experienced the consequences.

Our souls are front and center all of our lives. The soul never went to sleep – we just momentarily forgot who we were replacing ego beliefs for soul knowing. We have all had experiences throughout our lives where we had “hunches, intuition, a voice who spoke to us, or when we simply knew.” This is the soul wisdom coming through. When it is followed magic can happen. When we allow the soul to step forward, lay aside the fears and yearning to run from it, we allow ourselves to envelope true wisdom. Wisdom that guides our lives seamlessly, wisdom that supports all that is.

When you aspire to come home to yourself, your soul, this must be done “no matter what.” We say this repeatedly yet many do not understand the meaning. Our lives have been constructed on the rules of duality, the ways of the dual world and harm. In this construct we create a life that portrays to us safety above all else, for it is safety that the ego yearns for in all things. Whatever your definition of safe, that is what you conspire to create in your life, and if anything changes to threaten that construct you move into fear. So, when you are faced with “not matter what” your internal conscious or unconscious thoughts center around safety, and the rules of living continue. Was your life constructed then from your wisdom, or from shoulds placed upon you since early childhood by a world that is afraid? Consider this, if you allow the wisdom of your soul to step forward and create change that brings forth a life that is not only truly safe but fearless what have you lost? We are buried in material goods – does this bring you true happiness, peace or safety? Is it written that if you follow this wisdom within, you will lose the material comforts of life? I have found that ownership does not exist, and that there is always enough to shelter, feed and even pamper me, including when I acted on my inner knowing “no matter what.” It is an abundant universe and it is our right to receive our share and enjoy this beautiful planet while we are here.

Wisdom then is never transient. It is within you in each moment. The ability to call upon all you know to decide what is best for all, right for all there is. You must be willing to allow it to come forward, and you must be willing to enfold it as your truth and act upon it. With this your ability to call upon this wisdom expands, and the figuring out of old drops away – the decisions made out of fear no longer plague you or color your life. With each step taken through your soul’s wisdom you reap the true benefits of not only serving but being served by all there is. You are the giver and receiver of all that is in right order for you in this physical journey, and that is wondrous beyond understanding by the little ego that cries wolf.
