Consciousness Outside the Human Mind

Written by Mathew Naismith

Does a consciousness exist outside of the mind, the physical brain? To some people, like myself who have had unquestionable experiences, believe there is without a doubt a consciousness beyond the physical mind,  others however who have had no or very little experiences of this can quite strongly doubt such a thing exists outside the human mind (physical brain). 

Science decrees nothing can exist unless proven through science but should this stop us from discussing such possible occurrences? In my mind no but other people think yes, why discuss something that can’t be proved to exist or not like with God for example!!

I would like to ask a question here, how many non-proven scientific theories have been discussed without being able to prove such theories are actually plausible?  How many years have scientists been discussing how the universe was created without knowing exactly how?

If we could go back just a hundred years ago, how many discoveries of today could we tell the scientists back then about, they would think you were ludicrous because we couldn’t scientifically prove what we were saying just a hundred years ago? What we can or can’t prove scientifically solely depends on scientific capabilities, so if science was incapable to prove or disprove anything, would this mean it couldn’t exist or it wasn’t plausible period?  Actually logics says no, if you can’t prove or disprove something it just means it can’t be proved or disproved at that point in time.

Some people have the understanding if someone said they saw a flying pink elephant that would still have to be plausible using this type of logics. This is a ridiculous evaluation for the main reason common sense tells us a flying pink elephant can’t exist unless physically proven to be so.  Where does this leave us with the belief in a God or a higher consciousness outside the human mind?  In this case common sense tells me it’s quite plausible that a God could exist for the main reason I have myself experience ghostly experiences as has other members of my family. When two people, at the exact time, notice draws opening and shutting on their own, this has got to make you wonder and more inquisitive to what kind of energy from is doing this.

Another thing to take into consideration here is, how come so many different ideological principles believe in the existence of God or of a higher consciousness if there is no chance of this kind of consciousness existing? This shows me, without relating to my personal experiences, that the possibility of a higher consciousness could exist, this is common sense logics but it’s not common sense logics to believe in a flying pink elephant.  Inductive reasoning tells me there is a possibility of a God existing but not a flying pink elephant for various reasons as explained.

Now let's look at the possibility of delusional episodes, can a rather large number of people become delusional at the same time? The answer is yes to a point, they can't have an exact same delusion but can two people who physically witness an occurrence, at the same exact time, experience the exact same delusional episode? It’s possible as anything is a possibility, like a flying pink elephant for example, but common sense logics tell me it is less likely to be a delusional episode than an actual occurrence.  Anyone who believes in the possibility of a flying pink elephant existing would also concur that these two people could have only experienced a delusional episode; they are using a non-common sense logics to evaluate by to start with.  It is obvious that common sense logics tell us that a higher consciousness could exist however, there is no common sense logic in regards to a flying pink elephant actually exists.  This sort of retort is obviously quite unreasonable to actually take seriously, comparing a pink elephant to God or an external consciousness is quite illogical. The existence of God is defined by common sense logics but a pink elephant doesn’t make sense to start with so you can’t logically and sensibly compare these two scenarios with each other.

So does a higher consciousness, or any consciousness, outside the human mind exist?  Because science can’t prove thoroughly enough it does exist, to a scientist it can’t exist at this point in time however, to a believer and/or to a person who has experienced such actual occurrences, it certainly does exist.  Yes this is without a scientific decree but we are only talking about a scientific decree here which certainly doesn’t overrule other decrees from other ideological principles, or it shouldn’t in my mind. It comes down to this; the existence of a consciousness outside the human mind is really left up to the individual and the ideologies that believe that a consciousness does indeed exist outside of the human mind.  

Consciousness of God-The Observer

Written by Mathew Naismith

I know the people who aren’t into the word God, or what it represents to some people, aren’t going to be happy with my use of this word but I can’t please everyone. The reason I used God in this post is because most people around the world relate to this expression of a higher consciousness and to be of a higher consciousness one needs to be the observer.  This of course doesn’t mean all observers are God’s, it just means when we become the observer of either just ourselves and/or the collective we become connected more to our divine selves and God/the source I believe.

In our everyday lives with our everyday attachments, it’s very hard to become the observer of oneself and especially of others and the collective; this is why I think we feel so detached at times.  We are caught up in the dramas of life instead of the connectedness to God, the source of creation; the best way to reconnect ourselves is through becoming an observer.

The following links I thought was typically showing how becoming an observer can connect us better to each other, the collective and to God.

Being the witness or observer is a divine position. The formless God is the observer of all that happens, through each pair of eyes, through each and every set of senses. All is only experienced by the One, the only Doer. It is the One who samples life just as it is the One who meets the One in the experience of enlightenment that represents the culminating event of all our lives, up till that point.

So being the observer is being my Divine Self and is a practice much encouraged in spiritual circles.

The following link is more into the physics side of being an observer.

http://kundalinidotorg.wordpress.com/2013/05/12/spirituality-through-observer-effect-of-physics/

To become an observer one has to seem to be detached to whatever they are observing, if you can’t do this you can’t become an observer.  So becoming detached this would mean we become less emotional? Yes but don’t mistake fewer emotions means being non-empathetic, because you become more aware you become more empathic, this is due to dropping of our attachments to life itself as it plays out.  Most human emotions are due to attachments of one kind or another and of course attachments denote ego, I understand God’s consciousness doesn’t have an ego. This is why God is a very good observer, there are no ego driven emotions just empathy.

Practice observing yourself while at play by visualising yourself actually observing yourself and after a while do the same with others and eventually you will become an observer of the collective by visualising looking at the earth for instance.  Once you become the observer of the collective, you will laugh your head off.   How could anyone laugh their heads off when there is so much chaos and hurt going on?  Two reasons; one, we have become unattached to life itself, two, the answer to our dilemmas is so easy it’s hilarious, become an observer and drop all attachments that cause so much chaos and do us so much harm.  Also take note of the first link I supplied here, once an emotional occurrence was observed all what one could do then is laugh at the little things. Life is a little thing compared to the whole conscious collective, which is why you will laugh!!  

God, an Intelligent Consciousness

Written by Mathew Naismith

First of all I would like to state that I’m not actually a religious person, I don’t have anyone particular faith/conviction that I dogmatically follow without reason.  To me religion is supposed to be there to hold us to certain moral values, without these moral values we have utter chaos however this post isn’t about religion, it’s about an intelligent consciousness a lot of people call God.  

Fragmented Consciousness: To morning I entered into a conscious state that allowed me to see it’s impossible to see/meet another person who is exactly on the same level of conscious awareness as me. We cannot meet another person who is precisely aware as ourselves, every person is different within their own awareness, this is what I deem as fragmented consciousness. 

As soon as two exact same aware parts of this fragmented consciousness come together they immediately become one. This is the reason we can't meet consciousness itself (God), we would immediately become one with this intelligent consciousness (God) quite instantly. Actually two exact aware parts of consciousness wouldn’t need to come together to form one, it would just happen even if they were trillions of miles away from each other.  When this happens you are not actually humanly aware of this, it just happens quite automatically.

I believe it’s our awareness that gives us our individuality which is fragmented consciousness or Gods consciousness fragmented. This is why in so many different religions we try to be one with God; it’s becoming one with all which we call oneness. Each fragmented awareness (person) has it’s own vibration which is brought on by our own personal awareness, once you become in tune with the collective awareness you change your vibration to the collective vibration thus you become one with the collective consciousness (God).  

What I feel what is happening  at the moment is the more  fragmented consciousness becomes the more chaos we will have, this is shown by how many people are presently alive on Earth at the moment, each person has their own vibrational signature, their own personal awareness different from everybody else’s. However what keeps this fragmented consciousness from completely going off the Richter scale is being forcefully taking on other people’s ego that are more influential thus, sort of, collectively giving us all a similar vibration to each other. Consumerist materialism & communism is a good example of this & so is believing in the same religion.

The way we are presently trying to collectively become one through these ideologies isn’t quite kosher  for people who are aware that becoming one this way isn’t true, it’s not the kind of oneness you can find through actually becoming one with consciousness itself.  Yes these ideologies are holding off total chaos but only just, we are really always on a knifes edge trying to be at one in this way.

Intelligent Consciousness: A lot of us realise or believe that everything was created by an intelligent consciousness that a lot of us call God.  I had a feeling to find another source while writing this post to explain about this intelligent consciousness that a lot of us call God. The following video was the first source I came across and I thought explained this intelligent consciousness quite well, I didn’t agree with everything said on the video but it still had the content I was looking for.

To me individualism represents our individual awareness which I call fragmented consciousness and the more people are present at any given time, on Earth for example, the more this denotes the fragmentation of consciousness itself or Gods consciousness.  War is a good example of killing off and forcing others to think the same, in other words forcing the collective human race to become more aware at the same level of awareness.  Nazi Germany and Stalinism are prime examples of this and so is consumerist materialism.

These kinds of ideologies that keep a collective race vibrating at a similar rate of awareness to me isn’t very intelligent and I think a lot of us are waking up to that. The problem is these ideologies seem to be always controlled by the controlling factors of the ego and because of this we are always living on a knifes edge.  The intelligent consciousness itself (God) doesn’t have this problem of a controlling ego, once we become close to this consciousness we realise by becoming one with this consciousness we would quite automatically alleviate all traits of the controlling ego. This would in turn rid us of a chaotic existence.

Spiritually aware people aren’t stupid, we know what we are feeling that there is a much better way to be a part of the collective, yes some of us are lead astray at times by egotists but we know within our hearts that there is a far more intelligent consciousness than our individual selves.  Some non-believers could say if everything is Gods consciousness God would have to be of the ego as well. Yes that is true but this intelligent consciousness isn’t stupid enough to allow the ego to be master and all controlling but some of us humans are. I know what intelligence I want to be a part of!!  

Spiritually aware people show a high level of intelligence that human intelligence, on it’s own, has no way in understanding, ever.  One gets it’s intelligence form the controlling ego which is only one tiny part of consciousness itself the other directly from all of what this intelligent consciousness is.  No matter what others say, if you are spiritually aware, you are very intelligent. 

Awareness- Protectors and the Protectorates

Written by Mathew Naismith

A strange post to write even though it’s sort of a continuation from my last post. This post is more about our own awareness and how I feel we are not just letting ourselves down but also the protectorate itself down and all that abides on this protectorate we call Earth.

Being able to be so more aware from other forms of consciousness makes us quite automatically protectors of everything that abides on this protectorate and the protectorate itself. We are letting all others less aware forms down by staying ignorant of our true value or truer selves however we also have our own protectors who protect us but only if we allow them too.  By becoming further aware allows our own protectors to protect us otherwise all they will protect is the lesser aware forms bypassing us altogether I believe.

Other forms around us that are unable to become aware past their own nature are actually more aware than we are through their animal instinctiveness for example but this sort of awareness has it’s limits. We on the other hand are only limited by our actions and thoughts; we are obviously acting as Gods and Goddesses to these forms doing onto them as we will when we should be protecting them not destroying them.

By becoming more aware allows us to see who we really are, a creation from consciousness/God/the source, we are God or this consciousness but in a far lesser aware form.  The more aware we become the closer to God we become. Like I inferred in my last post, thinking all we are is mortal only gives us enough awareness to cause harm however if we were to think of ourselves as immortal we would then have enough awareness to know we are protectors of all lesser aware forms.

However when we go back into history we will find many leaders proclaiming themselves Gods or Goddesses, Nero is a famous one for this. This infers anyone who thinks of themselves as Gods can be extremely destructive not constructive however there is a big difference to thinking one is a God to being aware of one is of God.  Being God like takes an infinite amount of awareness but the funny thing is the more aware you become the less you can see yourself as a God so this is portraying that people like Nero where highly unaware not more aware.

Once the ego takes control our awareness, or the furthering of our awareness, diminishes mainly because we now have a fixation and any fixation deters further awareness, Nero was a good example of this.  On the opposite end of the scale Buddha and Jesus, especially Jesus, didn’t even have a fixation to their physical life.  Jesus and Buddha were aware they were of God/a higher consciousness and not a God and by determining this they complimented their stature and became constructive instead of destructive. This shows you how unaware our leaders are today and this is why a lot of people around the world clutch/clutched onto the wise and aware which were/are usually spiritually inclined.    

However, especially in the western thinking communities, we clutch onto leaders who promise to give us something if we elect them into office and of course this relates to the controlling ego. Yes awareness to an extent is needed to fool people into electing them however these people  fall far short of true awareness to the people we don’t elect into an office, the people we see as wise and aware within our community.  

Being truly aware allows us to become aware that the controlling factors of the ego demure our abilities to a limited, usually destructive awareness point. This sort of awareness allows us to see we are the protectors of such protectorates. I know I’m obviously naïve but I just can’t see why we don’t see that we are protectors of the protectorate and all that abides under this protectorate including each other.  This isn’t like being a lord or a senator as a lords and senators are obviously quite unaware, this is being aware that everyone is a protector not just the leaders of any said community. 

Our Own Story Lived

Written by Mathew Naismith

This is going on from my last couple of posts to do with living our own story or path. We obviously all have our own story we want to live or are living by, each story is unique, no two stories are exactly alike mainly because of the influences of other people living out their story directly around us. This doesn’t or shouldn’t stop us from living out our own story, yes we are influenced but others around us however we still have our own story to live. If we want to allow other stories to influence our own story that is up to us as a whole however we must remember we are all living in a greater story!!  It’s like a story within a much larger story; these much larger stories do & can influence us against our will changing our story, war is a good example & so is consumerist materialism. These are stories that are more collective therefore more influential than our own individual story.

Living our own story doesn’t seem collective but what makes up a collective? What makes up a collective is smaller stories so everyone who is living in their own story is being collective within a larger story. At the moment we are talking about war or consumerist materialism being the larger collective story here, what about becoming spiritually aware, is it not collective to be as one as well and what gives us oneness? It’s a collective condition of multiple stories under one story; in this case we have replaced the larger story of war or consumerist materialism with oneness however we are still being influenced by war & consumerist materialism but to a far lesser extent, they are no longer the main influential story we live under.  

We can take on the main story as being our own, many people do this. A soldier becomes a soldier because of having to have armed forces & a multinational becomes a multinational because of consumers consuming material goods.  Without individuals living out their own story & being coaxed into the main story the main collective story wouldn’t exist. It takes many individual stories to make a collective, you can’t have true oneness if one story or person wanted to become at one. I think oneness only exists because of a collective, if you don’t have a collective you don’t have true oneness. Because everything is consciousness, either it be of a God or an intelligent energy source, it takes a conscious collective consciousness to create things like war & oneness.

What creates a religion, it’s not one person just living out their own story separate to every other conscious source, it’s a collective coming together to be influenced by one story.  There are so many stories we can live under either it be by choice or not, the real question is now, are any of these stories wrong for us to become influenced by? Is it wrong to believe in a God as opposed to an intelligent conscious source or to join in a collective like religion or consumerist materialism?  The collective that it creates itself isn’t wrong but we must realise it can do harm onto others or force other to join under a collective story that they don’t want to be influenced by. We do have a choice in what story we live by however sometimes in making that choice we do have to suffer.

We all at one stage or another feel non-accepting of other people’s individual & collective stories like the many different religions out there for example. As soon as we become non-accepting we have allowed these other stories to influence us like for example a lot of people don’t like the word God. As soon as we have reacted to this word & what it means we have become influenced by it.   God, to a lot of spiritually aware people these days, doesn’t mean a white bearded man or even a higher supreme being but a consciousness that is more aware than our own individual or even collective conscious selves.  Yes a lot of non-religious people have a problem with religion & the belief in a God. The problem is that religion &/or the belief in a God hasn’t proven itself to be reliable or even ethical in the past, religion & the belief in a God in itself has done a lot of harm right throughout history but of course it’s done a lot of good as well.

I use to have a problem with religion & the belief in a supreme God myself but I don’t anymore for the main reason I have accepted other people’s stories that they wish to live under, as soon as I push my story onto others I have become what religion has done at times in human history.  We must allow others to think for themselves & live by any story they wish. Accepting others people’s stories doesn’t mean we are going to live by their story nor does it mean we should allow them to hurt us in anyway through living their story, what acceptance does is to disallow any influence of these stories we don’t want to live by to influence us period. Like I said, as soon as we respond by disliking someone else’s story we have allowed that story to influence us.

So many spiritually aware people these days have a problem with the word God or anything relating to religion period, this is allowing these stories we don’t accept to influence us.  Once we accept that others have a right to live by their own stories, like we do, these stories have very little effect on our own stories lived.  This is sort of like reverse psychology funny enough!!!       

Immortal Free Will

Written by Mathew Naismith

This seems dumb, how can free will exist when we can’t seemingly choose the way we want to live?  When asking this question, are we talking about at the human level of understanding here or are we talking about the God within? When we seemingly have no choice in the way we want to live we are actually only understanding at the human level of understanding or probably more precisely at the mortal level of understanding. Thinking we are just mortal beings is of judgment  however as always I’m not saying judgement is bad or good it just gives us an illusion that we are only mortal beings. If we are truly aware of more than our mortal selves we would realise we have free will, this knowing within oneself is inevitable. 

What’s judgement got to do with making ourselves believe we are just mortal beings? We judge we are alive, we judge we are a physical entity & we judge that we are brainier than all other creatures, this is mortality we are talking about here not anything else beyond mortal being so actually judgment has given us fixations which of course includes our beliefs.  It is nearly impossible for some of us to think or became aware of anything else past these beliefs thus we have become fixated  so of course we are going to think we have no free will unless we enforce our own free will onto others, warring is a good example of this & religion at times is another.  What would happen if we all truly realised & truly believed we are not just mortal beings? I predict we would no longer force our own will onto others & yes it has everything to do with forcing our own free will onto others because we think we don’t have free will to start with.

Being immortal we have chosen freely to live lives as mortal beings thinking that we have no free will & to express any kind of free will we must enforce it, this is expressing our free will at the immortal level of understanding.  It all comes down to, we are actually living in the way we are because we can. This sounds dumb only because we have fixations on mortal life, we can't see past this reality & once again it comes down to why not live within these fixations!!  We must remember here to understand this we are immortal not mortal energy forms, we are actually expressing our free will but only known to our immortal selves because we can. 

This comes down to realising we are immortal & realising we can change things in the world if at the immortal level of understanding we willed it so. At the moment we can’t will it unless we enforce it at the mortal level of understanding however for real change to take effect we must become aware of our immortality which of course give us more awareness.  Any enforcement denotes judgement & fixations thus obscures any further awareness. I'm really thinking though that it would be a super human effort to reverse what we have done all these centuries & actually live within peace itself, why not? That can only be delivered by the God's /realised by the God within I believe.  If we are immortal why not choose, at the immortal level of our understanding, to amend our ways, what a monumental effort that would take & what a monumental ending to a seemingly calamitous existence.  We would indeed prove ourselves to be immortal & God like or of God if we could accomplish this but do we have the will??    

Why We Are Here??

Written by Mathew Naismith

I wasn’t going to turn this post on another spiritual forum site into another post but I have just become aware why we all see our purpose in realities like this one so differently so I feel it’s important for me to relay this on. The following response of mine is in relation to why we are here not saying it answers it but producing yet another possibility of why we are here which a lot of my blog relates too. This post is in reference to my previous post titled Soul connection & religion.

G’day Schwanke

Most people denote religion to being just of faith which is usually connected to church doctrines of one kind or another however religion can also denote to being of logic not just faith as a scientist will have certain theories they will follow which is a religion or creed for them to follow usually right through their lives.

Certain eastern based religions teach free will & I can’t see them dying in the near future however like western based religion it will have to change with the time or new consciousness as everything does in realities of time & space I believe. While living in realities of time & space boundaries are always set to guide us however realities of no time & space have no such set boundaries, there is no need. I think what is happening now is we are trying to replace time & space with no time & space, in my mind that is not what we came here to do.  I think what we are supposed to be doing is assimilating no time & space within time & space only to give it balance again however of course I could be wrong.

By the sounds of it this is where we differ greatly, I feel our souls need time & space to experience our knowing which is infinite because time & space will always renew itself however it would seem you think we are here to just connect with the source ( true love) thus change this reality into another reality of no time & space.  We were all created from light, yes some souls will decide to reunite with the light, the source, after ones soul has a certain understanding & awareness but I think most souls will decide to keep on experiencing the knowing for this expands the sources conscious awareness of itself even further, you could say that all souls are serving God however we too are that God (consciousness).

What I think what has happened here is certain people have experienced certain states of consciousness to a point where they have formulated a conclusion to what is happening without going further thus we only have the understanding of being here to become what we were in the first place light/love, I feel there is much much more to it than that Schwanke.

Thinking With the Cycle Not Against It: We need to think past the 3rd dimension or previous consciousness as nothing stays the same including knowledge & wisdom in realties of never ending cycles which are realities of no time & space, if we don’t start thinking past this point or last point I should say we are either going to change this reality into a reality of no time & space while becoming one with the source again or we are going to continue on a life of fixated attachments which will end sooner or later in catastrophe. I feel quite strongly we haven’t come to do either but serve thy lord so to speak which is in turn serving ourselves.

I’ve written in previous posts about the soul being of more important than the human vessel self & that we should focus on the soul more to bring balance however the soul has no real precedence on the creative source so what our souls are doing is serving the source (God). The problem with knowing that we are serving the lord (source) we are focusing on the lord primarily not our soul, yes some will say by serving the lord that we are in fact serving our souls but the problem with this is we are putting one above the other by idolising one above the other, where is the oneness in this? We are of the source itself so in fact we are serving ourselves through the soul & human vessel & the reason the soul & human vessel are just as important as the source itself is the human self & the soul are teacher of the source like the human vessel is the teacher of the soul, nothing has less importance or precedence than the other.  

By focusing on the soul we are bringing balance again because the soul is of both realities of time & space & realities of no time & space, if we focus on either the human self or the source we are actually not bringing balance to this reality but unbalancing it even more. The old teaching especially eastern teachings taught us balance for the main reason they had the understanding of balance within this reality, tilting to the extreme either way would give us unbalance & turn this world into something else usually something unbecoming, consumerist materialism is a good example of this & so were the dark ages as both these ideologies gave us an unbalanced world.  So old teachings are still relevant then!!! Yes & no because they too like anything in a cycle of time & space are forever changing so they too must take on change, go with the flow not against it for in this comes true awareness!! 

 “The soul is the key to balance I believe”…Love Mathew
