A Living Case Of Mistaken Identity

Neale Donald Walsch, who wrote Conversations With God, once said in a recent blog that:

"Consciousness is not something you learn, but it is something you grow into, and there are certain things you can do to trigger or enhance the process."

How, if anything, does a thing reach within itself for the understanding of both a higher consciousness and an acute awareness of how to enhance that process?

His answer was simple to me:

"Start by helping others acquire their higher consciousness. The rest will happen on its own."

I know for most of my life, I’ve been asleep at the wheel–or as in my friend Russ’ analysis, "hazed, foggy,  and on a type of auto pilot version of living". Most of us never realize how much we miss from our own innate ability to understand the "self" as a part of who we really are. In fact, and in my own personal experiences, I’ve learned that some of my choices have been disastrous for me while other decisions, remarkably have positively propelled me to no end of joy and bliss.

So, did I just grow into myself over these 32 years or have I somehow educated myself in who I have become?

It wasn’t until now in life that I’ve realized that either direction is perfect, in its true relation to who I am or whom I choose to be. For I am both directions: the up and the down, and right and the left, and the right and the wrong. For they all encompass the choices that I have available to me.

It’s the eternal understanding of Now   that I’m feeling and it’s this feeling that will give me back to myself.

Are We Truth Takers or Givers?

In some respects, both.

For example, as we trek through life with our own version of the “Truth” in tow, we forget at times that the very important “Truth” we hold so dearly could actually become a “non-Truth” due to subtle (and sometimes not so subtle) realizations of others factors that prove to us whether a thing is actually the “Truth” or not the “Truth”; whether a thing actually gives us our highest thought or doesn’t.

Now, when I say “Truth” I only mean to make a point of what is truly important to us as individuals and what effect we play within the grander spectrum of who we really are, or who we choose to become. In other words, the “Truth” for me, will differ greatly from the likes of you,or perhaps anyone else I choose to throw into the pot. My only point merely centers around the noise that oftentimes crowds our judgment and may, but not always intentionally, provide us a sense of “false hope” that we potentially could inhale as the “Truth”. In most of the things we find in society and in our personalities, we are given the choice to decide between one or the other and in the most sincerest way, we are taught that there is a right or a wrong choice and if anything, one should always choose the right answer over the wrong one.

But, what if all the answers are neither one or the other? Does God even care either way?
