You
may be aware there are different levels of consciousness and that
consciousness evolves from lower to higher levels of awareness. You may
also know of the "universal consciousness" that connects and effects us
all. Did you also happen to know that planetary bodies have
consciousness? Ancient traditions the wold over were aware of this,
which is why they assigned planets with particular archetypal
personalities, the remnants of these are still found in astrology. I'd
like to discuss our plant's consciousness evolution and what it means
for us.
Properties of Consciousness
In the same way that your hand is a hand and
also part your body, so consciousness consists of parts that are linked
to the whole. The consciousness that manifests in individual beings
has particular goals and lessons it would like to learn. Yet all
individual consciousnesses are connected. The purpose of this complex
interplay is to help the universe learn about itself. You are like the
eyes and ears of the universe, showing it different possibilities and
aspects so it can learn and evolve.
The Earth is a Conscious Being
The
earth, like all planets, is a conscious being. The first goal of our
earth was to use conscious intention to form minerals and these into
rocks and crystals. Crystals are thus infused with particular
perspectives and expressions and we can connect to these energetically.
It is almost as though the earth left us a scavenger hunt of billions
of little crystal USB drives containing energetic messages like love or protection that we are able to "download."
Then
the earth set out to create the conditions necessary to support more
and more complex and diverse life forms, ultimately leading to the
conditions right to support humanity. In this way our consciousness is
connected to the earth, both influencing and supporting each other.
The Earth is Evolving in Consciousness
The
earth is evolving in consciousness, which is related to and influences
our conscious evolution. Two features of this transition are the so
called “quickening” of time and increased synchronicity.
The Quickening
Have you noticed time seems to be speeding up? There is a purpose to this: To make the consequences of our behavior more salient.
Picture yourself in the middle ages writing a letter to family who live
far away. In your letter you convey some disappointing news that will
ultimately change your family's lives forever. Think about how long it
would take for the letter to reach them and for you to hear back from
them and experience the consequences of your letter. Now flash forward
to the present, in the same situation, distance does not have the same
impact: You can chat online in real time with individuals practically
anywhere and thus influence and effect one another across vast
distances. This is just one example but it is meant to illustrate the
different significance time holds today.
The quickening of time ultimately shows us our individual effect on the greater whole.
For example, instantaneous news via the internet has allowed many to
become aware of the consequences of things like unchecked capitalism and
environmental destruction. With the ability see and feel how our
decisions affect the greater whole, we may chose to vote with our
dollar, opting for sustainable, environmentally friendly options when
possible.
Synchronicity
We
can also expect to see increased synchronicity to help us understand
the divine connection of the events in our lives. Synchronicity is the
notion of seemingly unrelated things coming together in a way that holds
great significance. For example, have you ever had a thought, perhaps
about things happening in your life, plans to take a trip or a goal
you'd like to achieve, only to find later that day you overhear complete
strangers discussing the vary thing you were thinking about and then
maybe a TV show you watch that evening has to do with the very same
thing as well? This is synchronicity. For many, the illusion our lives
are composed of purely random "chance encounters" is evaporating. This
is meant to demonstrate we are here for a reason, and nothing in your
life is void of meaning.
These
elements work to increase our awareness and facilitate higher
consciousness. There is nothing that occurs in isolation. What you do
to and for yourself you literally do to all. If you let this guide you,
you can be sure to evolve with the earth into higher states of
awareness.
