It’s time to offer you a sampling of other paths to Unity Consciousness. I have created a new web page, Other Resources to Explore, as a sampling of different perspectives on our journey into Unity Consciousness. Books, websites, YouTube videos and blogs create a variety of ways in which to explore the More. I have not read or watched everything. Yet the quality of the material presented through each of the authors or speakers has and continues to add to my awareness of the Bigger Picture. My Soul chose to explore and offer a path based in religious/spiritual, psychological and scientific information and experiences in this lifetime. As you will see from the list of resources, I did not restrict my exploration to these areas.
The resources come from a variety of perspectives. Some of the scientific research supported my mind on my journey. Others expanded my awareness of the bigger picture. Still others let me know that I was not alone – globally, there are many people aware of and expanding into a new way of being. Some come from a religious/spiritual perspective, others are more psychological in their language and thinking. Yet others show up in the midst of what I might call “alternative realities”. There are those who channel intergalactic beings, indigenous beings, religious leaders, ascended masters, and other notable figures who have passed on. Some offer healing modalities, others present their perspective on what’s happening in our world today and still others talk about what it’s like on the other side of the veil.
A What If… question for me:
I remembered one of the first moments I asked What If… about a ‘way out there’ spiritual belief (for me at the time). My partner in the ’90’s as well as others at MCC in the Valley (LGBTQ+ Christian Fellowship) were talking about different spiritual thoughts and experiences. Specifically, I remember hearing about reincarnation…the idea that our souls have had many lifetimes. I accepted that reincarnation might be true for them yet it wasn’t something I was ready to accept for myself at that time.
Ten years later I was exploring all sorts of information as my mind was opening to the new and my Soul was guiding me to helpful resources. In terms of reincarnation, I found Michael Newton’s book, Journey of Souls: Case Studies of Life Between Lives, to be both fun reading and a helpful introduction to how reincarnation works and how it might affect my life, my knowing, my search for More.
Eventually, my ‘What If…reincarnation is real?’ became ‘Yes…I know it’s real.’ I’ve experienced and learned about other lifetimes and how they affect my current life. I know my Soul came with a Sacred Purpose and various intentions as to how that might be fulfilled. I know that, even with a general ‘road map’ for this lifetime, my human self always has the choice of whether to go one direction or another. And…the more I am on this journey, the different and sometimes weird bits and pieces of this lifetime begin to fall together in a beautiful awareness of the divine plan for who I am and why I am here.
I don’t agree with everything presented in these resources. However, as long as the message given is centred in love and expands my journey into Unity Consciousness, I’ll feel my way through it and see if it’s real for me. I’ll ask What If…and open to the wisdom and guidance of my Soul. If there’s a great deal of confusion, I recognize it as emotional upset and release what is in the way. Then I can feel if it is true for me or not, whether my Soul is leading me to this expansion into my Bigger Picture.
A What If… question for you:
What if…your identity as a human being is about to be challenged? Feel through the anxiety, frustration, and anything else that comes up – whatever may be blocking your willingness to explore. Begin to discover all the ways in which we as humans have been programmed and trapped by our limited mind and our emotional reactions…our knee jerk reactions to push away from anything that feels ‘different or foreign’. Allow yourself to feel all of this. And then choose what you would rather experience: anxiety and fear as you hold onto what you think you know OR curiosity and excitement that is available by opening to the joy of freedom in discovering more about your Soul, your divinity?
Your Soul is offering you information – perhaps see it as handing you a book. You may take the book, read it, feel through its contents, and discern if it is your truth. If not, simply hand the book back. Or perhaps, like me, you might let the information be possible for others even as you are not ready to let it in fully.
So again – What if…your identity as a human being is about to be challenged? Allow the joy of discovering your Soul Self to flow through your being – the freedom to experience life with new hope for yourself and humanity. Allow your Soul to provide exactly what is perfect for you at this time and light up your world with new possibilities. We are in the midst of great change…why not enjoy the ride?
