Evolution of Awareness

The evolution of awareness is your ability to understand and experience different levels of consciousness. The mind is the software for the hardware of the brain to run on. The mind receives thoughts and with the brain creates your experience of the world. The mind makes you believe that you are living in a world of solid objects even though at the quantum level all form is a fluid flow of particles and energy. This is your stage on which to play out the human experience. Humans have evolved on this plane of experience for millions of years. Each generation learns and grows in awareness of itself.

 

Evolution is not only the physical changes that all species experience over time, but also awareness of itself. Think about your own awareness as you have grown from a baby to an adult, how much more you know about yourself. Spiritual awareness is similar except consciousness does not end with death. Spiritual awareness is never lost; your path to self awareness is a one way track in that sense. However spiritual growth is not going to come to you without your active seeking. Self awareness, the knowledge and the experience of living in unity with the creative force of the universe, is self generated. There are many spiritual teachings to learn from, but only you can assimilate the knowledge into your life.

 

What you bring to your world is your interpretation of it, nothing more. You have choice because awareness is always allowing the opportunity to connect with the creative force. As you experience life, you make choices to do this or that, but for the most part choices are made based on your beliefs, Beliefs that have been built over time from family, society and education. In a field of all possibilities, your mind filters the stream of energy from sensory perceptions of sight, hearing and touch. In the same way the mind also filters your consciousness to create thoughts for your decisions and subsequent actions. Young children can easily take on imaginary roles and play act cowboys, Indians, monsters and princesses because their ego self is no so strong yet. Good actors can lose themselves in portraying a character that is totally different from their own true identity.

 

See your thoughts as they flow in your mind and start focusing on the space between the thoughts. This silence is your portal into the world of awareness. It is the ability to connect with the silence of consciousness and bring it forth into the world. Silence and thoughts go hand in hand to create your life experience. The more you can visit the deep well of silence and bring the presence of that serenity into your daily activity, the more you will bring peace and harmony into your life.

 

Standing beside the huge mountain on my way to Kach Gali behind the famous lake saif-ul-Maluk was a journey not only in space & time but down to the memory lane too. A perfect place where serenity and tranquility collides with the hustle and bustle of the daily life.
