How is my current state of consciousness perceived?
April 1, 2009
From Travis:
A little over 2 years ago, I reached a point on my spiritual path that I recognized as an internal threshold. I was able to glimpse the potentiality that traversing this threshold offered and it became apparent to me that realizing this potentiality was ultimately a matter of making a conscious choice. Ever since my first encounter with this aspect of my being, I have been in a “holding pattern” that over time has depleted my internal resources. One realization I have had as a result of this period of deterioration is that there seems to be a distinction between the vessel (mind/body/personality etc.) and the consciousness that occupies that vessel. On some levels of my being, there is an impulse to regress to previous states of consciousness during which my “vessel” was more empowered and yet was equally as in need of transmutation as it is currently. What I’m essentially wondering is how my current state of consciousness is perceived by The Spirits, particularly with regard to the state of the “vessel” as I’ve attempted to describe it above, and am also interested in any acknowledgement of my path that they are able to provide as a way to rekindle my faith. Any insights you could offer would be greatly appreciated.
Inspirations from Binah:
It can be de-motivating when you find that your ‘vessel’ is not in the peak condition you believe it should be. Body issues, emotional traumas and negative personality traits take control of even the most enlightened consciousness and leave you feeling like you are stuck in place. Yet separating your vessel from your Spirit is doing you a great disservice. You are one being, made up of many difference components, put on this Earth to manifest your life purpose. Part of that purpose is how you work through the challenges of your physical existence. Take a step back and instead of trying to tackle your ‘vessel’ as one giant block, break it into little chunks you can work through. Discard that which does not serve you and make a list of what you feel is most important. Take your time with each one, thinking through what must be done, planning the steps and acting with confidence. With each accomplishment, your internal resources will be replenished.
There is no timeline for your personal development. What may feel like a step backwards, may actually be a step forward in a new lesson you need to learn. Stop for a minute and take a look around. Do you see all that you have accomplished… all that you have learned? While you thought you were standing still, in reality you were working through a lesson and acquiring skills on the connection between the physical and spiritual. Take that lesson into meditation and ask your spirit guides to lead you to the next path of your journey. It may seem obscure, but you will find that you’ve been going the right direction all along.
