A few thoughts about Life’s basic
dynamics…
Through the stained glass
filter of John Hutchinson
Life Energy
We are alive and conscious…now…We are aware that we are aware… Life is
One Sacred Interwoven Spirit…
Awareness
Beyond all the roles and various identities we may entertain, we are
pure awareness… One with Being… We are always more than we think we are….
Attention
What we focus upon tends to grow and expand… when we do not consciously
choose our focus, we are controlled by unconscious dynamics from past and
collective sources, along with the requirements of survival…
Will
We are humans, Being and Doing… We act, respond, and react… We are “deciders”
and the lead ‘acter’ on our journey… co-creators on the path…When we do not
consciously choose our response, we react and are controlled by unconscious
dynamics from past and collective sources… sometimes referred to as shadow or
dark energies…
Intention
Conscious intention motivated from Love and Awareness provides guidance
and energy to move and act in accordance with that chosen direction… Intention
from the depth of our heart provides a passionate and enthusiastic drive,
energy, and ambition in a determined direction…
Love
Consciousness in the present moment provides the opportunity to respond
with loving kindness that respects the Oneness of Life everywhere, in all ways
and all times… Doing good while harming no one or nothing…
Yes
Energy that provides affirmation and growth… the answer to most questions
and decisions can be sensed intuitively as a ‘yes’ if it is aligned with our
deepest and highest purpose, values, and intention…
No
Energy that can limit and move us in a different direction than the one
we are considering or asked to follow… the answer to most questions and
decisions can be sensed intuitively as a ‘no’ if it does not align with our
deepest and highest purpose, values, and intention…
Physical Body
Our body, including senses and sensations are provided for survival and
continuation of the physical form on Spaceship Earth…with all its pleasures and
pains… We have a physical body and we are more than our body…
Emotions
We have emotions and we are more than our emotions… emotions serve as a
useful tool which are often a reflection of how our own worldview, beliefs, wishes,
and expectations interact with what is happening around us… focus on ‘what is’
with awareness and acceptance provides
opportunity to make wise choices…
Thinking
We have mental abilities and we are more than our egoic mental activity…
The mind is a useful tool of survival and functioning every day… When
controlled by unconscious patterns and dynamics, the mind can justify any
action… Consciously focusing our mind can provide expanding creativity and
growth…
Intuition
We have access to information that is outside of the physical senses
which can be experienced as hunches, pops, psychic knowing, premonition, ESP…it
may be through the psychic cords of connections to close family members and can
also be connection to other more global unseen sources… It is often referred to
as the realm of spirit… We all have intuition capabilities and we are more than
our intuition…
Unconscious
The unconscious refers to all information, energy dynamics, and
patterns of which we are not aware… they may be from previous experience in our
individualized or personal experience… they may be from the past and ongoing
collective unconscious… and they be from what we might call the “superconscious”
or higher more “spiritual” energies that may be outside of our awareness…
Superconscious
We are and have access to an expanded realm with higher and more
inclusive energies which may include, Primary Life Energy, Spiritual Source
Love, Wisdom, Joy, Peace, Stillness, Beauty, and more… The expansion into the
superconscious may be accessed at times through sudden trauma, dreams, imagery,
intuition, visions, and also more naturally through practicing contemplation, meditation,
and other methods to still the egoic or person mental activity.
Higher Self
There is an aspect to our psyche that seems, for the most part, to be
just a bit above our normal personal consciousness…. It can be thought of as
our higher personal and spiritual guide… It is our internal source of love and
wisdom and is our synthesizing center… when we pray or attempt to receive
answers, we can visualize our energy center as the sun above our body… At times
I assume this Higher Self aspect of our psyche or soul is a personal liaison
with the Life Source… it is like a transformer and transducer that steps up and
down the communication of energy to and from Source… and translates that energy
into meaningful symbols in the form of images sounds, words, and sensations…
Unseen Guides
We can also call these entities/energies, “guardian angels,” or even “ETs,”
or whatever name you have learned… There is an assumed always-present aspect of
the unseen world that often only makes itself present to our awareness when it
is truly needed… For those of us who have experienced this ‘realty’ there is no
question that we can assume this with a solid amount of certainty…
Source
There are many names and labels provided for that ‘Mystery’ of Life
which I will describe as The Oneness of
Life Energy, Great Spirit, Father/Mother God, ALL that IS, Being, The
Nothingness that is Everything, Great Mystery, The Manufacturer and Distributor
of the Cosmic Glue called Love, One… and, of course, all the names the various
world religions have provided through the specific societal and cultural milieu
within the ‘nows’ of their times…
Time and Space
When we experience premonitions and receive intuitive pops about others
located in a different place, we experience the expansion of consciousness
beyond time and space… We understand that ‘Time and Space’ are useful in the
functioning of our daily lives and that they are also and fundamentally
illusory creations for life in the 3rd dimensional world…
The Present Moment (Now)
We remember other nows and we project with imagination into future nows…
Yet the only real ‘time’ in this present moment… we spend so much energy either
reliving the past or project our fears and hopes into the future, that we lose
consciousness in this present moment… It seems one of our main purposes is to
become fully here in the ‘NOW’ …in our body on this planet, until we are not… I
might add, bringing through our form the essence of Love in this present moment…
