When you drop a stone in the center of a clear still lake, it's effect shall be felt in the ripples formed to the very boundaries of that lake. But if you put a cylinder around that part of the lake in the center where the stone drops, then shall the ripples and so it's effect not pass beyond the boundaries of that cylinder.
If there Hypothesize for a moment that consciousness is the basic principle of mind substance at a GOD mind level.
Each partition of consciousness is separated by a thought which consciousness animates and gives it life. Each idea including the human perspective as a viewing platform is therefore a thought within the mind of GOD. Each thought I propose acts as a cylinder around the power that originates which I propose is us, as the observer. The concept of "an expansion of consciousness, is in fact the removal of a smaller cylinder or thought form boundary and a replacing of it with a larger one. Relating then to a previous post of the notion that we are GOD the observer, then the we are looking into the mind of GOD right now when we look around. This means when we have a thought as GOD that thought will manifest. But if as GOD we have a thought through a partition being the mind of man (the current host of the observer) then our influence on Consciousness will be apparent only within that boundary.
It is all based on where we view ourselves from. We are the same observer whether we view from the mind of man or the mind of God. Therefore, our perception of self is reflected in the mind of the host, rather than in the Greater Mind of God.

Consciousness
What you believe consciousness to be it will be. If you decided that consciousness is some mystical concept that is not tangible or mouldable, then that is exactly what you will experience. I think Consciousness is the mind substance of GOD. It therefore responds directly to us as the observer. The fact that we filter our view of consciousness through a mental partition does not in anyway reduce it's responsiveness to us. It only acts to change our perception of who we perceive we are and therefore what we will come to expect of consciousness. If a man is of a wealthy or poverty mentality, then he will be expecting to view experiences that match his perception of himself. When you see life consciousness as a game of luck and chance, a playing field where opportunities have to be made from sweat and risk, then so it is for you. If you believe that life is a journey of Karmic retribution to be worked out and paid for with penance, then so it will be just that for you. If you set rules that money is bad, or hard to come by, or that life is a game of chance then for you it will be so until such time as this line of experience is one you no longer wish to upkeep.
So in line with this then and also in the realisation that your imagination is the viewing platform of your potential, what sort of shaping are you able to do in order to change the experiences you currently have. There is no fooling yourself. If you say something but it is not true in your heart then you will only experience the truth.
In my next posting I propose to shape and mould my life consciousness with a steadily held line of thinking that relates who I am to consciousness and what I want to experience from Consciousness.

Money Consciousness
It is interesting to observe how we view different aspects of consciousness. Reflect for a moment on how you view money. Would you say that generally you view money as a limited concept. Something that is difficult to come by and easy to disappear. If this is so, then in line with my last post, then I am offering a new proposition. I think, that our potential is also based on the rules we apply to the mind/consciousness/life we currently occupy. You see, even if the mind that we currently observe through (human mind) doesn't recognize us as GOD, or even a god, doesn't detract anything from the reality that the consciousness we are submerged in....does. This is proved to us, every single day. Everyday as GOD the observer we create in the reflective mind/consciousness that we are submerged in currently those ideas and thoughts that we entertain and allow to be entertained in the mind we are observing through. Remember we have talked before about how particles and indeed I propose to you....consciousness, changes it's very behaviour when it is being observed. Well not only are we the observer, but we are GOD the observer, so of course ALL Consciousness is going to respond to us but it will change it's behaviour based on who we perceive ourselves to be because we are the one's effectively driving what it reflects, because it is us as GOD. The issue is that we observe and make decisions and occupy thoughts through the limitations of (currently) human minds. Consciousness isn't responding to our human thoughts...it is responding to us...as the observing aspect of GOD. The fact that we are observing through a human mind, means the experiences we will see reflected will be limited to what rules of engagement we have set. Irrespective of whether the mind we view through perceives us to be merely human...the FACT is we are GOD. So as GOD if we make a decision to experience life through the mind and eyes of a human being, then that is what life consciousness will reflect and so will be our experience to observe. So if we do not shift our observing position from the boundary of the human mind, we will then only manifest reflections of consciousness that are subdued by the comprehension of this mind we occupy. So take money which is consciousness. How do you view money consciousness from the perspective of your current viewing platform? How would you view it from the perspective of GOD the observer?
Detachment in a life changing way
Since we are the observer, then all things are external to us, giving us the capacity to experience them. This is the concept of mind in mind. We dis empower ourselves, but adopting the persona of the mind we currently view through. Hence the importance of Detachment. We alienate things by setting rules based on the perceived relationship we have with possibilities relative to the aspect of mind we view from. This sounds complicated...but basically if we perceive we are merely the personality in the human perspective, then how we view our possibilities will be based on our perceived human capability. This is often based on our perceived creative potential utilizing the resources of time x knowledge x currently accessible resources...borrowed or otherwise. Now the interesting thing is our potential is circulating us based on our perception of possibility. Hence we have this thing called an imagination. The problem is we are taught as children that this faculty is "not real" when actually nothing could be further from the true. It could possibly be the only thing that IS actually real. Everything else is a fabrication of our perception which creates a veil of perceived reality for us to experience ideas. So remembering that we as the observer are able to shift our viewing platform with our WILL. The other thing we can change is our FAITH....which is actually another name for Perception of who we believe ourselves to be. We are in fact the observing aspect of GOD. We are many, many layers away from the original whole that is GOD, but none the less, there is only one observer. I propose there is only one GOD who is viewing life from only one perspective currently.....yours. Over a decent sort of time frame, each idea has been thought, each thought has been experienced. We are the sum of the parts. Each part is one of those perspectives. Our human mind perceives that there are other humans simultaneously around us at the same time, each having their own independent experiences, but actually they are all just thoughts in one mind. But the observer is only in one perspective at one time.
Before I try to explain it more...lets just try an experiment for a moment. What if your could actually see yourself as the observer, and detach yourself from your human personality mind, you are then a free agent. A new entity in need of a new definition. Look at how we go through our day...we are constantly defining ourselves as "husbands/wives, sisters/brothers, coaches/plumbers, badminton/tennis players etc each of these we use to create the persona that becomes the experience for us as the observer.
What then would happen if we detached sufficiently enough that we could then define ourselves from scratch. We often attempt to do this by "leaving our current situation behind and turning over a new left" divorcing ourselves from our partners, jobs, sporting lives, even our countries in order to redefine ourselves. Yet each time we do...we often still continue to undervalue our potential. What if that is all evolution is....the capacity to grasp as much of our true GOD nature/mind as possible. So herein I propose a great task, to redefine ourselves as a god at the very least. To explore the great possibilities that exist for us as observers beyond the boundaries of our limiting personality minds.

The Observer
When as an observer I put myself into a matrix of viewing platforms, levels within platforms and have multiply potentials within each of those levels, it is no wonder that I lose sight of who I am. If I look through a mind, I will see what is going on from the perspective of that mind. If it is a human mind, it will be governed initially by the animal instinctive and self protection programmes written and ingrained to protect the host I am viewing from. So looking through this human mind, I will be surrounded by the raw mental feed of those base programmes, which initially will directly trigger emotional responses (reaction) and with that power the body into action. I will be subjected to the impulses of that mind until I choose to control it. Now imagine I am actually viewing from within another mind, which is viewing that human mind. Now we have a state of mind within a mind. This would occur if I had evolved up a level of awareness, so that I found there was more to the mind of the human than just it's animal programming. What if there was also the capacity for freely made thought. Here in lies an independent perspective of mind where as the observer, I am able to view from a perspective of mind beyond the boundaries of the animal automated programming. Being inside the host of an animal being (human) I will still have the animal programming. But as the observer, I am independent of the mind.....the mind is what i view and (previously exclusively) viewed through. Now as humanity has evolved we have gained the capacity to view and view from. With this new found freedom, comes responsibility. We need to get control of the lower mind, in order to move on to the next layer of mind.
This second layer of mind is what we term the personality. This aspect of mind encompasses the original, but enables us as the observer to be outside the partition of animal mind, which sits within its boundary.
The next stage of evolution for us as the observer is to go beyond the personality aspect of mind, to that of Soul mind. Personality is the mind aspect of individualization. Soul mind is the mind aspect of the group.
The personality mind is abundantly capable of creating and providing for the needs of the animal mind. Likewise the Soul mind is abundantly capable of creating and providing for the needs of the individual personality mind. The effort is simple....shift yourself as the observer from the personality mind space to the soul mind space. I believe it is likely that we had help shifting from the animal mind to the personality mind. But we are on our own when it comes to the next step. We have free will, it was given to us that we may make that journey. The effort requires a great deal of WILL power. We are submersed in a WILL training environment. The seven deadly sins and sidekick vices are our tools in school, which once we graduate will no longer be necessary. WILL is a transportational (my new word) power. It is that which will carry me from forward from where I am now to my the next step in my spiritual evolution.

Back to the Creative Process
As mentioned many times before, it is my passion and perceived life purpose to understand the true creative process. Today I had some more insight to explore. The pathway of thought is what follows.
At a physical plane level the creative process is one of exchange for most people. The trade their valuable experiencing time for creative ability = money, or trade in Lieu.
Those who have plenty, take risks with their money, giving it to others so that they can use it to make more money, sharing the spoils of their successes and failures with those that give them a portion of their money.
The perceived conflict between spirituality and money in the past could be summed up as follows:
Spirituality is about service and giving, whereas money is about what you will receive. Money is about trade, getting something. Spirituality is supposed to be about unconditional gifting.
So lets look at both of these ideas. Matter is Divine. Therefore the energy that makes up money is also divine. Spiritually inclined people can still do good things and expect a return, it may be as simple as a thank you, or a smile, but it is rare that they gift anonymously which gives them no capacity to gain "emotionally" from their gift.
So hypothesis 1: It is possible the true creative process is reflected in the physical plane. We are required to be in Service and gift and that this process of gifting magnetizes us drawing to us those experiences which we deem to be beneficial. It is also possible in the same instance that the gifting needs to be anonymous for this to occur.
Hypothesis 2: That the physical plane trading system is a self destructive one. That there is not enough creative energy around for people to just keep on taking all the time and that trading always has a cost. So that the person trading always wants to get more than what they are prepared to trade for, so they make a profit.
Hypothesis 3: Evolution is heading towards more light/more love. That this is demonstrated as being abundant because we can give unconditionally, abundantly and indefinitely and yet still have the capacity to give more love. If the physical plane is a reflective plane, then how much giving we do on the higher planes, or how much negative things, will be reflected. So ask yourself this...how much unconditional love to you give each day to how many people, for what percentage of the day?

Will and the Observer
Up until now, I had believed that all aspects of the Universe have Will. However, here I would like to explore whether we as the observer actually have will, or whether the observe is the only aspect that does not. The personality most definitely has will. Every thought form also has a will to be experienced and connected with it's creator. The soul has Will. But what is interesting, is that all of these things are temporary.
So that gives me the impression that only temporary things have Will. The Observer is eternal, unchanging.
It seems like there are two directions for Will, the 'expression' and the 'experience'. The 'expression' is where one entity has a goal and expresses their intention to achieve it. Due to the fact that there are common experiencing fields, this means that there will be other entities exposed to that initiator's Will being expressed. In other words they are impressing their Will into the physical plane wherein other entities exist and have their experiencing field. These other entities have two choices resist that Will, or align with it. The resistance or alignment to that Will is the choice of the other entities who fall within the field of creative expression of that Will, wherein the Will of the entity will be manifested. Both the alignment or resistance of Wills causes evolution. The expressing entity is often a dominant one. The power of the initiator is often far stronger than individuals so those that may resist. So they will need to learn to band together until the sum of the parts is strong enough to push back against the initiator and therefore cause the whole group to move forward. If the smaller entities accept the will of the initiator, then the initiator moves forward and has it's experience. There is a constant ebb and flow as opposing Wills help each other evolve.
What I propose is that the Observer exists independently of the vehicles which house it. That it is the mind aspect of those vehicles which channel Will. So where does the Will actually come from. Why does a personality choose a particular goal that it therefore plugs into or activates Will to make it happen. If Will can be activated what is it when it is not active? Or is Will a stream of power which we plug into or not. When plugged in we have Will, when not plugged in we do not and therefore we are receptive to being swept up by other entity's Will.
There is more on this, but it will come in the installment.

My process of integrating a soul dominated personality
I think I have figured the problem with my eyes. I have always felt it was related to what I was not seeing properly. The problem is I didn't know what I was looking at and therefore not seeing properly.
A couple more pieces of the puzzle may have just slipped into place.
My directive was to understand the true creative process. But I have been looking for the answers in the physical plane. I had perceived that once I figured it out I would be able to create abundantly on the physical plane. But I think this is exactly what I have been looking at incorrectly. All things look different, when viewed from different perspectives. The two current viewing platforms we have are our soul and our personality. We we explore the physical plane or consider the concept of creating on the physical plane from a personality perspective we end up with entirely different ideas than when we do so from the soul perspective.
When we test the motive for doing something we can find out whether our allegiance lies more with our personality or our soul.. If the motive is to increase and improve your personality's situation then you know it is the wrong decision to make. If it is a soul based decision, even if it is completely illogical to the personality mind, it is the direction we must go in if we are to progress down the path. The next question is to identify if you have the WILL to pursue your soul based motives.
When you finally break the last hold the personality mind has on you the observer, then you are free to focus on the soul. It is critical to be focused. We need to be focused. Without focus we are chaotic energy beings. This is why we busy ourselves as personalities in order that we will never have a lack of things to focus on. The problem with that theory is that everything is always superficial. Nothing ever feels like it has real value or true meaning.
If every decision I made was cleared with my soul, what would I eat? What would I drink? What would I do for service? What would I choose to say, or would I become more of a listener? Who would I engage in relationships with? What would I buy? How would I spend my leisure time?
These are some great questions. I think it is time for another 10 day challenge. This time it is a 10 day in a row integrating challenge. The objective is to seek and follow the lead of my soul on every aspect of my day.
So my last challenge was really about purifying my vehicle. Now I think my physical and emotional bodies are developing soul receptivity. I feel that the next logical step is to do the same mentally, so that every aspect of my personality mind, is soul receptive.
So I propose to follow myself on Soul integration blog continuously until I have achieve a 10 days in a row stint.

Right Motive
It is interesting to look at possibilities and potentials as they surface from the subconscious areana of greater mind. Key points:
1. We are greater and more capable than we can ever imagine.
2. Possibilities want to find us, but we hide from them behind weakness and perceptions in our conscious personality mind space.
3. Not all possibilities become potentials.
4. Not all potential is designed to be experienced...some of it is designed to test our resolve for greater potential.
5. The easiest way to answer whether or not we should partake in a potential is by answering the following questions:
a. Do we have the means to realise this potential in the physical plane currently without debt?
b. Is the physical plane the best place for this potential to be? (some fantasies are best left on the mental plane).
c. What is our true motive for connecting with this potential.
d. What is the opportunity cost of uptaking this potential?
e. What does the SWAT Analysis looking like.
f. Whats on the action/inaction matrix for these potentialities?

The 10 day challenge
2 Weeks ago I set out on a quest to do 10 things in 10 days. This is the up date after 2 weeks.
My nails have stayed unbitten, today I had to file them. I have stayed off sugar, flour and all processed foods, not entirely a raw food diet as yet, but healthy all the same.
The rest of it has been not so great. My morning routine has melted back into what it was. My meditation etc has not been happening in the usual way. My reading has dropped off, as has my exercise.
I have been getting through my to do things, focusing on keeping up with what comes in each day and then using spare time to knock off things on my to do list.
Now it is time to review the rest.
Today is the 19th October. It has been just over 3 weeks.
My nails are still unbitten. I have stayed off Sugar, flour and processed foods still and feeling all the better for it. Mornings haven't yet come back on board. Meditation is intermittent. Reading is occurring regularly. Exercise has been scarce. Sleeping has been not so good with late nights.
Today is the 14th of November.
My nails are still unbitten, abeit the do spend a ridiculous amount of time in my teeth tempting fate to bite.
I have comfortably abstained from Ice Cream and other lollies etc.
I have stayed off Wheat and processed foods.
The desire to sleep is low. Exercise is still not happening. Mediation is more regular but the connection is weak from lack of connection with the regime. Reading is ok, but could be better. Still a few old habits to conquer that result in procrastination.

thinking outside the circle
Total mind as discussed in another post, is like a whole onion. The layers represent perspectives or sections of mind. Our current position/occupation in matter is human. In our adult years the observer is centered most of the time in the personality perspective of mind- that of the individual. Where we anchor as observer, will determine the thoughts that we generate. Based on the idea that energy follows thought then this is a crucial piece of the puzzle. The energy that we have access to when we are focused in the personality mind, is 'slow', 'weak', and effective only in the material world. Once we begin to focus ourselves in our soul mind space, then we open ourselves up to soul plane energy, which can permeate the material world and thus looks 'magical' to the observer anchored in the personality mind. This energy is also more efficient and lighter in both senses of the word. As the observer changes it's viewing platform the level of service increases. When we are in personality mind we think about our own needs, happiness and development. Some have children by choice, most have them by default. Regardless, this is the first step towards thinking outside of the personality mind space. The next step is to encompass a group, then a perspective of a kingdom then a whole kingdom. There is an element of automatic service due to evolution, which is the working out of the plan- to evolve the Universe/Logos/Kingdoms etc. Free will is the capacity to move ahead of the automated mass of evolution, and progress manually to the next level of service.
In the child the wall between individual mind and the greater mind is more porous. You will see in a child they are often centered in what the personality terms the imagination. The observer is anchored in the creator mind. Subconscious is only that which is in the next layer of onion, that the observer in the current layer cannot perceive from it's current location.
Practice using your imagination....because this is you as the observer moving out of the current personality mind into the mind of the soul.
Practice connecting with those that watch over you on a daily basis......this is what your personality mind calls intuition.
Practice service to that which constitutes a greater mind space. This is moving energy in the right direction rather than taking it.

How special are you?
It is in our blood to believe that we are special, in one way or another. It is predominantly our reason for getting out of bed every day. But in fact, how often have we really put ourselves under the microscope to see just how special we could be if we applied ourselves.
How special would we be if we truly purified both our minds and our bodies? How special would we be if our deeds were entirely selfless, not just good will, that laps up the warmth of appreciation that comes from those we serve.
I am one such person. I thought I was special...for a long time. But the more I develop my true self awareness, the more I realise, I have a long way to go to get to that "special person place". I have been working on improving myself, ok, but this has not been a speedy process. It is like I am in no hurry at all. But lets face it, the shell is not as young as it used to be. So, it is time to start getting serious again with my progress.
I propose to do 10 things in 10 days.
10 things I have not been able to do to date.
Day 1. Started my day with a new routine: 2 hour routine
Get up early enough to go for an appreciation walk, followed by stretching and abs, 30 mins of Meditation and then read 30 mins every morning before I start the rest of my day.
By Day 2. Withhold speaking about another person unless complimenting them.
By Day 3.Stop biting my nails
By Day 4. Give up Flour
By Day 5. Not buy anything for myself.
By Day 6. Give up Sugar
By Day 7. Give something
By Day 8. Save something
By Day 9. Make something every day.
By Day 10. Get onto a Live food diet
The challenge is not in making the list, it is in the action.
I will update every day. If I don't you, you know I have failed.
Day 1:
Well I did it. I went to sleep without an alarm. Woke up early and went for my walk. Did my stretching and abs, did my meditation and reading all before I started with my day as planned.
I will repeat this process tomorrow and add the second task.
Day 2: Another day of productivity. Got through my new start, (appreciation walk, stretching, abs, reading and meditation. Was tested once solidly for about 10 mins on my second goal but managed to hold my awareness and control the way I directed my speech so as to say only what needed to be said and added nothing about the people I was questioned about in terms of negative statements. Was tested again in the afternoon in a situation that would normally have had me talking about what happened, but once again I simply saw it as a test and withheld my speech.
I watch Eddie Murphy's movie the other night...1000 words. It has plenty of theosophical concepts in it well worth watching.
I have begun to change my view on my other goals already, with no desire at all to have a "last minute" experience before I give them up.
Biting nails is tomorrows goal...this will be a big one...not unlike someone having to give up smoking after doing so for 37 years. Good luck to me.
Day 3: I spent most of the day fully aware, ever watching. I slipped up once with one finger nail in my mouth completely subconsciously, catching only the end of the event.
Productivity of thought was great today. Well aware of my thought processes before hand.
Got through my start to the day with Appreciation walk, stretching and abs and reading.
Day 4: Started my day differently today, as I had early morning coaching and didn't get up early enough to my appreciation walk etc. Did all other things over the span of the day, but this was still not the point.
Biting nails didn't occur. Positive speech was good. Gave up Flour today without too much fanfare.
Day 5: Missed my appreciation walk again due to even earlier coaching starting. Did manage to catch up on the other aspects throughout the day. But the idea wasn't about doing the activities, it was about the way I start my day. So this needs to be reviewed. Managed to keep my nails out of my mouth again for the whole day, although I am fidgeting with them all the time, seeking out rough bits to bite. Solution, cut any rough bits as soon as I find them. Positive speech today, tested a couple of times.
Flour no issue. Not buying anything for myself...first day...everything provided for me so no needs.
Day 6: Started my day early again. Didn't get everything done....ie meditation wasn't done nor abs. But got the reading, walking and stretching done. Positive speech, tested again today. Flour no issue, although I had Muesli today which effectively has wheat in it. So I will remove this from my diet so as to bring it into line with the next goal which will be no wheat....not just no flour.
Didn't buy anything for myself. Gave up sugar. This is a bit tougher than it looks....as sugar is in almost everything so I need to refine my goal in the next round.Went out for dinner with friends. This was a bit of a challenge. Ended up with a very plain dinner. But it was still ok. Definitely prefer my own cooking. Went to McDonalds afterwards, where I was the only person who was not eating ice cream or junkie sweets...but everyone was very non judgmental so it was great. Rest of the goals were achieved.
Day 7: Todays goal was to give something....this was a bit of a challenge, but had me thinking about what is important to other people and also how to do this in a meaningful way. This highlighted the need to explore my motives for this 10 day challenge. I did my appreciation walk, a bit of stretching but didn't get through my meditation. Did the reading, speech was not the best. Got well tested tonight. Don't feel it was productive. Quite and intensive push on the faults of others. Not really feeling I was an angel on the productive front.
Nails are still intact. Got gifted a iced caramel frappe by my wonderful wife who does know what I am trying to do, but it was still me who drank it...so failed on the sugar front. Also had the last of my muesli today, so failed on the wheat front too. Not an ideal sort of a day.
What I have learnt is that the effort if sustained will develop my will and in time I will be successful. I think after some thought two things have surfaced. 1 The original motive is Detachment. 2. That I must remember that detachment includes releasing dogmatic approaches to things. The way around this is to remember, that it is not about the giving up of flour, or sugar or the biting of my nails that matters...it is about the drive to commit to a cause that will develop my will.
Day 8: Did well on most things.
Day 9: Didn't achieve the task.
Day 10. Didn't achieve the task.
So now I will review my focus and start with a fresh approach.
How special would we be if we truly purified both our minds and our bodies? How special would we be if our deeds were entirely selfless, not just good will, that laps up the warmth of appreciation that comes from those we serve.
I am one such person. I thought I was special...for a long time. But the more I develop my true self awareness, the more I realise, I have a long way to go to get to that "special person place". I have been working on improving myself, ok, but this has not been a speedy process. It is like I am in no hurry at all. But lets face it, the shell is not as young as it used to be. So, it is time to start getting serious again with my progress.
