It Is Within Humanity's Reach


Ishvara:

In this New Consciousness, you recognize current possibilities. You see through the schemes of separation, the beliefs, the concepts and the conditioning; you see those control mechanisms as having no power over you whatsoever. You find yourself able to do what is necessary in the moment, but you do it from a place of clarity, of knowing. You hold the bigger picture. You hold to a greater reality and possibility. You recognize an all-inclusive truth that really sees Life as-it-is and holds the higher possibilities.

It is somewhat difficult to talk about these possibilities, because they really are beyond your imagination. Your imagination is the consequence of hopes, attachments, beliefs and concepts--things you have heard along the way, things you have dreamed about, that have arisen in a separative reality, disconnected and unreal. The imagination finds it hard to see The New Consciousness, this possibility of greater connected existence. The imagination finds it hard to envision, to think or to allow that human beings could actually get over themselves and begin to work as one, to begin to work toward a bigger picture, a greater humanity, and higher possibilities.

As you look at the world as-it-is, with input from the media, all you see are destructive patterns, selfishness, greed, and control, so it is hard for the imagination to perceive anything else. On the other hand, that core YOU, that true Self, that part of the cosmos that is absolute, knows. This knowing resonates with knowing. You know you are one if you resonate with this Consciousness. If you resonate with this presence, you know you are a part of that. You may not be able to understand what I am saying. You may not be able to imagine the possibilities, but something within you tugs at this, because that-within-you knows. It has heard, it is moved, it resonates.

All the time the intellect may be saying, "Impossible! Humans cannot do that. Humans by nature are destructive and selfish." So you have been told. That's the way you have been programmed. It is a great control mechanism: if the outside can convince you that you are incapable of more, if consensus reality can continue to control you by making you less, you are imprisoned. The bars exist in your intellect, your religions, your systems and structures. They are fabricated from long-held beliefs and concepts.

Something happens when you dare to be different, when you dare to find your uniqueness and go with it. You will find you do not fit the system. You are not attracted to what you are supposed to be attracted to. You are not willing to go along with the crowd. You are not willing to say yes to everything the system tries to force upon you. You think outside of the box, independently; you think about a better way of being. You see the ignorance and foolishness of war and destruction, and you also recognize that there is a bounty of energy, there is plenty for everyone if it is shared. You recognize the ignorance of greed: hoarding creates more for fewer, and it just doesn't work. When you see that, you are resonating with a higher truth, you are entering The New Consciousness, you are not gullible, you are not ignorant, you actually become wise beyond your time.

You may amaze yourself with what you truly know in this connection. You understand from the very core of your existence that a greater possibility is within reach; it is not far away. The imagination says: "Maybe humans might get there in a thousand years, if they survive long enough." But I say to you the time is now, not in a thousand years or a hundred years. The time is upon you now. It is time for you to become conscious, to embrace this higher awareness. The world needs you, needs the true you, not the conditional, programmed you, not the wimp who is scared, not the individual who is so afraid of the outside that it paralyzes. That is not your truth. You are powerful.

Once you recognize the connection, once you recognize you are of The New Consciousness, you realize you were created for better things. You were not created to serve the corporations, the governments, the systems, the structures, or the religions. You were not created to serve those outside manifestations of separation, greed and ignorance. You are created from Intelligence, embodying information that Life wishes to project, to manifest, at this level of existence. You have access to infinite intelligence, to unlimited possibilities, if you dare face the consequences of disconnecting from consensus reality, pulling the plug from indifference and separation, and allowing that you are designed to be more.

You are designed to live in connection, to resonate with truth, to embody truth that is transcendent of the human ego, transcendent of systems and structures. You are designed with truth in mind, holding and embodying a greater possibility. This possibility waits, waits to be accessed. You access it by allowing that it is there. Doubt, fear, disbelief go nowhere; they form a treadmill of separation. Consensus reality is a track: if you continue to go down that track, the same result occurs over and over again. Aren't you tired? Aren't you tired of the same old story? Aren't you tired of religions that put on new robes, with the same old substance underneath; the control mechanisms that disguise themselves as liberation, when in actuality they are simply the old rules with different letters? In that way the philosophers were right: There is nothing new under the sun.

When you live in consensus reality, when you live according to the religions, the systems, the structures, the philosophies, and the spiritual disciplines of the past, there is nothing new. Yet there is The New Consciousness: a presence of a higher awareness, an emphasis on the human who can excel, who can be more. That state of being is within humanity's reach; it is the core of true existence, True Nature.
