Why Consciousness?

The separate parts of humanity and Earth are coming together to form a whole that is greater than and unpredictable from the sum of its parts. Synergy feels like love, loving one another as ourselves. We are, in fact, one body! Our capacities as a whole are infinitely greater than when we are separate tribes and nations. Once our consciousness shifts from feeling separated to knowing that we are all members of one body, our vast technological genius begins to serve the growth of ourselves as one planet. And that consciousness shift can happen in the twinkling of an eye! In fact it is now happening in millions of us throughout the world.

Why am I, Jeff Smith, soooo interested in consciousness? Great question! Of course, I would love to answer that for you. :-)

Again, the answer started when I read an ebook called "Personal Power" by W. W. Atkinson and Edward E. Beals

Which discusses this topic at length, and concludes that it is the most fundamental aspect of being alive. When you think, who/or what is thinking? Who owns those thoughts?...

Same goes for your emotions...are you owned by your emotions?...or are emotions something you have?

These types of questions, are not rhetorical, but answered:

You ARE awarness...all other aspects are merely possessions of that focal-point of "I am"-ness. You have:

- A Body

- A Mind (with thoughts)

- Emotions

- Will

- Desire

This idea really intrigued me. Mostly because I had never really thought to identify myself as anything but a human being in a body...but this idea suggested that "I" am nothing BUT this sense of awareness. I have a body, mind, thoughts and feelings, but all those "things" are "possessed" and therefore SUBORDINATE to "ME!!!"

This sort of made me feel silly, when I was "angry"...because I KNEW that "I" couldn't possibly let one of my possessions control "ME"...I am in charge of them!

This was a real amazing and empowering revelation that served to fuel my drive and investigation into the "truth" of being, the universe, and existence. My simple conclusion (at least for today) is that IT is all there "really" is.

That's why I am writing a web page devoted to the topic and I am going to write more details pages (coming soon!)

Collecitve Consciouness: Moving away from fear toward love.
I am pretty sure that I am here on earth right when I wanted to be.I am 39 years old and I am alive and healthy enough to witness the current shift in collective consciousness from fear toward love. Fear will not be gone, it will just take a back seat as love moves forward.

Stream of Consciousness This morning I decided to try out the stream of consciousness technique for writing down the ideas that were floating around in my head when I woke up.

Goals, giving and keeping...oh my! This is a summary of thoughts on goals, giving and keeping related to the recent sale of my RV...I really learned a lot from this ownership experience.

Dr Who Meets Eckhart Tolle I just watched an episode of the new Dr Who, and I noticed a connection with what Eckhart Tolle said in his video. The episode suggests that the story of you is NOT you...but your real self is something far more wonderful!
