Are we Conscious?

Becoming Conscious

I am realizing that I need not ever do anything again, not even shaving, without being aware that I am One with God. My question now is not “What is the Cause of Human Suffering?” but “How Can I Become Conscious at all times?”

If Level One is unconscious limited mediocre thinking, and Level Two is conscious unlimited blissful awareness, is there really any legitimate reason that I can’t be Bliss-Conscious at any and all times? When I realize that I am on Level Two, nothing can prevent it.

Have you ever asked yourself what would the world look like from Level Two? Becoming Conscious is our # One challenge, ability, opportunity and duty.

How can we say that we are probably 99% unconscious most of the time?

Because:
• We are unconscious of our unlimited nature
• We are unconscious of the Infinite Good
• We are unaware of our vast abundance
• We are unconscious of our ingenius mind
• We are unaware of our unity with everything
• We are unconscious of our unlimited creative capacity
• We are unaware of unconditional love
• We are unconscious of the Eternal Now
• We are unaware of absolute peace
• We are unconscious of our total freedom
• We are unaware of our unlimited power
• We are unconscious that we are one with God
• We are unaware that there is no need whatsoever for any stress, fear, anxiety, doubt, hostility or grief
• We are unaware that there are no unsolvable problems
• We are unaware that every single thing that has ever happened is for our benefit
• We are unaware that we are unconscious

Do you see why I say that we are 99% unconscious of the truth?

Are you conscious? Are you even aware that you are usually unconscious?
If the truth sets us free, are we aware of truth? Are we free of fears, anxieties, doubts, hostilities, manipulations, habits, judgments, and self-defense?

Are we assuming that we are not free? Are we assuming that we are limited? Are we assuming that we are conscious?

If we are unlimited beings, are we conscious or not? May we are just assuming that we are limited and vulnerable victims. Maybe all of our anxiety, pain, and suffering are due to the fact that we are not conscious.

Let’s turn it around. Let’s assume that we are unconscious gods, instead of conscious humans. We are not yet even conscious humans.

Can you accept as reality then that all suffering and unhappiness is caused by unawareness?

If unawareness is our primary problem, maybe we had better find out what consciousness means.

To me it is very interesting that Einstein said “What I want most in life is to know the thoughts of God.”

It is obvious to me that we have very little idea about what God’s thoughts are. Sometimes we act like we know God’s thoughts are, or that they are not important. If God is conscious and absolutely blissful, and we are not, then perhaps we had best re-consider. Maybe we are the ones who are not conscious and not blissful, and Einstein is right.

So the correct way to look at this might be: If we are not blissful, then we are not conscious. If we are not conscious, then it is no wonder we are victims of our habits of criticizing, complaining, nagging, blaming, threatening, punishing and bribing. Perhaps if we were conscious, we would be ecstatic, positive, optimistic, creative, free, powerful, unconditionally forgiving and kind, and aware of our unlimited abundance.

And if we were conscious, we would be able to shift into Level Two and be here now. We would not have to wait 20 more years of struggling to overcome all of our Level One mishaps and limitations one by one.

How to get to Level Two then would become as important as our next breath, our next meal, our next paycheck, our next orgasm. Unless we get to Level Two it is doubtful we will ever overcome our anxiety, our fears, our jealousies, our insecurities, our hostilities, our illnesses, our exhaustedness, our insomnia, and our tendencies to feel depressed.

We are destined to become Universal Humans in the next five years if we can become conscious. We are part of a crossover generation in which for the first time in 15 million years of evolution, it is possible for the masses to wake up. We can be the awakening generation, one by one. It begins by realizing we are not yet conscious. Far, far, from it. Can conscious people engage in wars, massacres, addictions or anxiety-ignorance?

Can you consciously take your next upset as an opportunity to wake up?

Please join me in learning how to become conscious and how to find our Level Two. If you don't agree that we are unconscious, write me. If you have found ways to get to Level Two, write me. drjoe@shentel.net

An Interview: Dr. Mishlove and Barbara Hubbard

Barbara HUBBARD: Since the universe has been evolving for 15 billion years -- from subatomic particles to molecules to cells to animals to humans to ecologies to planetary systems -- I suddenly saw I was the creation of that whole process. Fifteen billion years it took to create you and me on this planet.

Dr. MISHLOVE: At this now moment.

HUBBARD: Right now. And that whatever motivation I personally feel is an aspect of the whole process, expressing as me, or as you. And I began what I call to surf the spiral. I began to go back and actually experience that's my story; that's not just an abstract, outside story. Because I realized my atoms, my molecules, my limbic brain, my neocortex, where did all that come from? The cosmos.

MISHLOVE: In a sense then, while one might say you're 64 years old, you could say equally truthfully that you're 15 billion years old.

HUBBARD: That's right. And I suddenly saw that all this question about our roots and our ethnic differences -- you know, we're all from the cosmos. We all have a 15-billion-year history, and I personally believe that as we head to the planetary birth, that each person will see themselves as a unique aspect of the whole, and that whatever their cultural roots are will be considered a gift to the future, but that the real roots of all of us go back, not only to just the big bang, because that was the physical manifestation, but in my understanding now, we go back to the universal intelligence.

MISHLOVE: The universal intelligence -- I think that's an important concept, because if we're to look at solving the enormous problems that we have, breaking free of well-entrenched, deep habit patterns of oppression, of waste, of warfare and violence across the culture, it's going to require some kind of quantum transformation of consciousness, and it needs to happen in our lifetime.

HUBBARD: That is the amazing thing. Here are my basic reasons for hope -- and a lot of people don't see this, but I don't see how they can miss it, actually -- but if you look at the 15-billion-year history, it is a continuous rise of consciousness and freedom -- I mean from molecule to cell to animal to human to us. There is no earthly reason why it would stop here, with a group of furry bipeds. We're only 50,000 years old as Homo sapiens sapiens. Do you realize whales are millions of years old? So we are very young as a species, and we look it, and we act it, and we're a mess. We still have little tips on our ears like wolves and little fangs here and a little hair here. We are actually just coming out of the mammalian stage. But if you add to our animal heritage, and even our spiritual heritage, our noosphere, our technological social system, you actually begin to see the possibility of the birth of a universal humanity. That's my particular word for it.

MISHLOVE: You sometimes call it Homo universalis.

HUBBARD: Right, and that we come from Homo sapiens through a birth process where we are shifting from self-centered consciousness to whole-centered, cosmic-, Buddha-, Christ-, God-centered consciousness.

MISHLOVE: In other words, to a large extent we still behave like monkeys.

HUBBARD: We do.

MISHLOVE: But there are role models, there are templates, if we look at the great saints and spiritual leaders of humanity.

HUBBARD: Well, I believe that every great religion -- which actually came through great individuals, although we may have lost track of that -- each great religion was an experience of a mystic, who experienced a higher state of being, and who created a teaching and disciples, who then created a religion, which got calcified and dogmatized often. But basically each culture is patterned with an experience of a higher state of being, and everybody's heard it one way or the other. For example, in Egypt with those pyramids, they were really the beginning of the idea of the human becoming a regenerating god. In India, through the great yogis, they transcended self-consciousness through yoga, through union with the all. In Greece we penetrated the visible world into the world of the invisible atom; in Israel, Abraham and God, the Covenant between humans and God for the transformation of the physical world -- the New Jerusalem, the new Heaven, the new Earth. Could it be that all those religions are ancient futurists?

MISHLOVE: Ancient futurists.

HUBBARD: Yes. And then when Buddha came in, there was a great individual that we actually have the story of, the history of, that represented human enlightenment. And then I believe that when Jesus came in, he came in to represent to us a map of the total physical and psychological transformation of the human to a co-creator with God.

MISHLOVE: In other words, Jesus came not so much to be worshipped by us as something far above us and unobtainable, but as someone pointing the way and saying, "Come be like me."

HUBBARD: His basic reason for being is to demonstrate what we can do. And when he said, "You will do the work that I do, and greater works than these will you do in the fullness of time," my experience is that that's true. Even if we could look at our situation right now, we are doing the work that he did, and greater works, but often without the consciousness. Whether it be in our healing, in our technologies, we can do Christ work, even now. But we're not yet in Christ consciousness as a collective. And by Christ consciousness I'm not talking about a religion. I'm talking about a consciousness that the source and the person are one: "The Father and I are one, and of myself I do nothing." That's what Jesus said. When any one of us realizes we are one with source, with spirit, with God, and that it is that flowing through us, then we too have those powers. That's my belief.

Your Inner MapQuest

There is a map from where you are to where you want to go, but you won’t find it on MapQuest. I love MapQuest, and I use it all the time, but it is all on Level One. The destination you want is not on Level One but is within.

To find out where you want to go, you have to first find out where you are. When you go to MapQuest, they first ask for your Starting Location and then for your Ending Location.

So, where is your Starting Location? In my Reality Map, we all start at the same Starting Location, which is Level One. We are all aiming at the same Ending Location, which is Level Two. We just didn’t know it until now. The interesting thing about this map is that it is all in present time, in the here and now. It has nothing to do with the future or with somewhere else. This map is different than MapQuest maps. This map is in you. It tells you that you can’t get what you want on Level One because it isn’t there! But it also tells you that it is all on Level Two and it is already yours!

The Universal Human

The Universal Human

According to Barbara Marx Hubbard, a 21st century futurist and visionary, we are the crossover generation. For the first time since evolution began 14 billion years ago, we are the first humans privileged to move from homo sapiens to homo universalis as a conscious individual and collective choice. There have been a handful of enlightened mystics and masters throughout the ages, but never has the preparation and timing been right for the average person to understand and choose such a quantum leap in consciousness to Universal Human awareness.

Many factors, forces, technologies, leaders, and movements have set the stage and given us the opportunity to awaken to our infinite potential now in this lifetime. Barbara is one of many capable and talented voices echoing the announcement of this momentous occasion. Just at the time when we seem perched on the edge of planetary self-destruction, we can make the choice to shift perspectives from the time-bound ego outlook to the Essential Self vision of a new world. This mammoth paradigm shift is happening all over the globe as a grass roots movement under the banner of many different symbol systems. Whatever words are used, it is a new paradigm of universality, unity, infinite awareness, rebirth, inclusiveness, inner transformation, and peace.

All of our old systems are grist for the mill of this new birth of civilization. Nothing even remotely like this has ever happened before. All of our old thought forms and institutions are inadequate to hold the power of this new energy. Everything that has ever happened in human history will be useful but not determinative. Spontaneity and co-creativity mark this evolutionary leap in consciousness to a degree that is so dynamic that we can’t keep up with it. It changes by the minute and by the hour like a breathless and exciting adventure. None of our old concepts and habits hold a candle to this new life form. Change is its watchword. Dying and being reborn daily is its mark.

In my work, I am calling this shift Level Two Living. It’s not so important what it is called as what it is. My map of this mammoth consciousness shift shows us that Reality = Level One/anxiety/Level Two. We have been stuck in a Level One limited worldview since the beginning of time. Anxiety is a signal of this stuckness as well an invitation to move to our natural inheritance of unlimited Level Two awareness. All that we ever wanted and sought after in various outward forms on Level One is already available in our hidden Level Two Self. We have never known what our good is and where it is located. No one has to miss it this time, but if you are going to “get it” you have to put it first. Being stuck on Level One is our only human problem; finding Level Two is our only solution! Join me in this exciting adventure!

Humanity Ascends

Humanity Ascends
By Felicia M. Tomasko, September 21, 2006

The Foundation for Conscious Evolution’s New Film Series
by Felicia M. Tomasko

“I’m afraid I won’t live to see my youngest daughter’s children,” a friend lamented to me on the anniversary of the 9/11 tragedy. This was not out of concern for her health, but rather for the health of the planet — or, more accurately, for humanity. All a person needs to do to feel a sense of despair these days is turn on the news, open most newspapers, or log onto their home­page. We are constantly greeted with announcements of destruction, death, and societal and environmental degradation. But not everyone views our current situation as bleak and hopeless.

The same day that my friend was nearly in tears, I spoke with visionary author and teacher Barbara Marx Hubbard, cofounder and president of the Santa Barbara-based Foundation for Conscious Evolution. Through her individual work and the foundation, she hopes to inspire humanity’s ability to survive and thrive. She sees this time in history as a pivotal moment, when we have the opportunity to evolve — to engage in what she refers to as co-creation of a new world view.

To foster that, the foundation is producing a series of seven DVD programs, to be released during the next two years, titled Humanity Ascending. The first is Our Story, narrated and presented by Marx Hubbard herself. The program begins with the iconic image of an atomic explosion, which symbolizes for us the constant threat of annihilation that was unthinkable before the 20th century. According to Marx Hubbard, the threat has escalated since 9/11, which showed that “anyone who is disaffected and angry” can gain power. And what’s more frightening than even nuclear war is that, according to Marx Hubbard, “the world is aware that destruction could come from anywhere.”

But there is hope, and this is the vital message of Humanity Ascending. In Our Story, Marx Hubbard traces the process of 14 billion years’ evolution, from the proliferation of subatomic particles to the creation of human societies. In so doing, the film highlights our capacity to transcend our limits and realize our potential.

For Marx Hubbard, evolution isn’t quite as science has told us. “Material-based science has given us a limited view of evolution. It is purposeless, directionless, and meaningless, based on chance and necessity,” she explained. “I do not hold that view. There is another view emerging, that evolution is the process through which consciousness creates a universe of higher order.”

In this “process,” we have come to a crucial time, according to Barbara Marx Hubbard. “I look and see that we have come to the end of one phase of consciousness, one form of growth and behavior. Species face this all the time: the choice to learn to cooperate with ecological factors or go extinct. If we will survive, we must learn to cooperate.”

The impetus for this cooperation, according to Barbara, is the looming sense of destruction. And it’s about time someone focused on the shift, because, as Marx Hubbard explained, “We have university degrees and training programs in place to maintain the status quo, to train lawyers and stockbrokers, athletes and musicians, but few study how to evolve the planet.” For those brave souls ready to volunteer, Humanity Ascending outlines a curriculum.

Level One Cognitive Distortions

You think I am exaggerating about cognitive distortions and Level One stressful thoughts? Consider this:

Fifteen Styles of Distorted Thinking

1. Filtering: You take the negative details and magnify them while filtering out all positive aspects of a situation.
2. Polarized Thinking:Things are black or white, good or bad. You have to be perfect or you're a failure. There is no middle ground.
3. Overgeneralization: You come to a general conclusion based on a single incident or piece of evidence. If something bad happens once you expect it to happen over and over
again.
4. Mind Reading: Without their saying so you know what people are feeling and why they act the way they do. In particular, you are able to divine how people are feeling toward you.
5. Catastrophizing: You expect disaster. You notice or hear about a problem and start "what ifs": What if tragedy strikes? What if it happens to you?
6. Personalization: Thinking that everything people do or say is some kind of reaction to you. You also compare yourself to others, trying to determine who's smarter, better looking, etc.
7. Control Fallacies: If you feel externally controlled, you see yourself as helpless, a victim of fate. The fallacy or internal control has you responsible for the pain and happiness of everyone around you.
8. Fallacy of Fairness: You feel resentful because you think you know what's fair but other pcople won't agree with you.
9. Blaming:You hold other people responsible for your pain, or take the other tack and blame yourself for every problem or reversal.
10. Shoulds:You have a list of ironclad rules about how you and other people should act. People whu break the rules anger you and you feel guilty if you violate the rules.
11. Emotional Reasoning:You believe that what you feel rnust be true - automatically. If you feel stupid and boring, then you must be stupid and boring.
12. Fallacy of Change: You expect that other people will change to suit you if you just pressure or cajole them enough. You need to change people because your hopes for happiness seem to depend entirely on them.
13. Global Labeling: You generalize one or two qualities into a negative globa1 judgment.
14. Being Right: You are continually on trial to prove that your opinions and actions are correct. Being wrong is unthinkable and you will go to any length to demonstrate your rightness.
15. Heaven's Reward Fallacy: You expect all your sacrifice and self-denial to payoff, as if there were someone keeping score. You feel bitter when the reward doesn't come.

How to Push Your Limits and Get out of Your Box!

How to Push your Limits and Get out of your Box!

Stuck, bored, frustrated, having a mid-life crisis? You went for it and crashed? You didn’t go for it and just bogged down?

Level Two Living is the challenge for you to move toward the unknown, to break through your anxiety and into your unlimited creativity. You have been using and mis-using your infinite creativity unconsciously and routinely. You keep trying to break out of your habit box but you are afraid to?
First of all, you have to see the landscape you are operating in. Study up on Level One and Level Two mapping. To get anywhere you need to have a map of where you are, what your destination is, and how to get there.

Level Two is what you want: your Infinite Good. Right? But where is it? Do you even know that you are stuck on Level One and unconscious of Level Two?

My challenge to you is to help you find out where you are now (Level One) and to find out where you want to go, what you can do (Level Two), and how.
Level One can seem to take up all of your time in survival-activity, like work, chores, family, rest and relaxation. But it’s our attitude towards our day that counts. We can carry out Level One activities from Level Two if we “get it.”
Masters do that. We are all victims becoming Masters.

Victims do not see their unlimited potentials, only their limitations. Victims do not see the creative powerful meaning of anxiety. Masters use anxiety to remind themselves of what they want and how to plug into the Unlimited Universe. Masters use their ego dilemmas to uncover the Self. Masters turn every problem into an opportunity. Masters don’t ask why, but why not? Masters turn “don’t wants” and “don’t knows” into “wants” and “knows.” Masters ask themselves: is this all I want? Masters know that their source is allness.

You are a victim becoming a Master. Actually you are already a Level Two human god, but you don’t know it fully yet. Mastery is the process of moving from Level One egohood to Level Two godhood. Then you can live on Level Two while you carry on Level One activities.

Your attitude makes all of the difference in the world. When a god touches someone it is entirely different than when a frustrated ego touches someone. When a god says “hello” it carries an entirely different energy than when a victim says “hello”. When a god addresses a problem, it is entirely different than when an ego does.

When a Master looks at anything, he sees unlimited possibilities and choices. He sees no built-in limitations. He sees God offering him the universe. He sees new blessings trying to come into his opening mind. He knows that the universe is creative, open-ended, transformative, and caring.
Are you a Master? What map are you looking at? The map to nowhere? Or the map to everywhere? Come on. Your box is nothing but a limiting idea. Life is pushing your limits everyday. You are bigger than you can possibly know. Nothing is impossible.

Get Over It!

Dirty Little Secrets?

How many secrets are left? Only One. All of our dirty little secrets amount to nothing. Of course, we guard them with our very lives, but they are nothing. There is only One Secret in the universe. The rest are as old as time itself.

Every secret that is kept in the skeleton’s closet is soon broadcast over the nightly news. on the internet, or in the latest water cooler gossip session. Why all of this embarrassment and secretiveness? It’s just ego stuff. There is not a single new secret or problem in mankind’s whole history. What is the worst it could be? Rape, murder, embezzlement, cheating, theft, psychosis, obesity, homosexuality, lying, psychosis, your prison record, rage, envy, villainy, hypocrisy? Ho hum. What else is new? These are all as old as Adam and Eve, and as recent as today’s Hollywood gossip column. You have lived thousands of lives and done it all. The only secret you haven’t discovered is the Big One.

There is only One Secret left. That is what we are here on earth to discover. You have to give up the sacred worship of your family secrets, your plots and schemes, your guilt, your isolation, your fear of discovery, your delicious little sexual habits, your addictions, the skeletons in your closet, your buried embarrassments, your secret humiliations and prides.

The only thing keeping you from The Huge Secret is your anxiety about your dirty little nothing secrets. Give them up. They are not worth one more minute of your time or energy. They are all that is keeping you from Bliss. Our sub-human opinions of yourself and others is all that keeps us from Godhood.

A million secrets could be exchanged for the Big One and you would forget them all. You wouldn’t care who knows because they were all substitutes for real knowledge. All of our whole million secrets are ho-hum. Not a one is worthy of you and that is why we try to hide them. But we never succeed.

Imagine your picture and the entire detailed story of your worst secrets on the front page of your hometown newspaper. Go and look. It is all there, about “someone else,” of course. But, face it, there is “no one else.” There are just us sub-level non-human robots walking around asleep. Men are as trees walking. No one is different from anyone else. Sorry. We are all stuck on Level One ego stuff. Give up all of this hypocritical innocence and guilt. It’s all that keeps you from yourself and your bliss. Forgiving is no big deal. You haven’t lost anything. You haven’t been degraded. You aren’t hurt. You can’t be. Just think of all of the millions of hours of regret, hiding, repressing and projecting your fake self upon others. None of it is true. It’s all just gossip.

You haven’t done all of this dirty little secret stuff? Yes, you have. If you have imagined it, you have done it to yourself and others. Get over it! It never happened. All of our fears and mis-imaginations are nothing new, but are as old as history. We can get over them. It’s not worth it, it’s all that stands between you and absolute bliss. All of your so-called imagined guilts and crimes were simply your desire for the good you believed you didn’t have.
