Consciousnesses is Catching

Is Consciousnesses is Catching?

Do I think I am extraordinary? Not always... Most days I do feel that way, and I always try to believe that I am. My destiny is joy- happy, joyous and free. It's hard to believe that, that is my destiny, but somewhere inside i feel that spark- that spark that some-day's is a flame and others it's like a bonfire. And it's from that spark of light, that roaring fire that my consciousnesses springs forth from. And consciousnesses is God, or what I call God. Only in the breath can the Divine be found.And the only moment there is- is now. Time and space cannot exist in the now. God cannot exist in time and space. The Divine can only be found in the moment of Now. It is what all the great teachers has been teaching for millennium. I knew the first time I sat on my paddle board this summer, sat with my eyes closed, feeling the warm sun on my body and the gentle lapping of the water, there was a moment where, all those things dropped away and in that moment between breaths did I feel the presence of the Divine, radiating within me. When I emerged from that, I had that awareness of that spark within. Not that it isn't always there, it always has been. When I look back now- I can see that spark, and for a long time it was just a spark, flickering as it might have been has always been there. But today that spark has grown and more than that, I have started to see that spark in others. That light in which we all are. Not the ego driven boss, or the alcoholic/addict still using, not the bank robber or the barista at Starbucks. Those are all just manifestations of our egocentric self portraits that we use to identify ourselves with. I know, I do it. We all do. I'm Ziggy; I'm an alcoholic, I'm a photographer, I'm a survivor of childhood abuse and the list continues ad infinitum. It's what I show you, how I identify myself in a world that thrives on self identity. But what if, starting with myself I could start to identify with my bliss, which is my higher self. If bliss is my state of higher being, then my ego does not want me to be happy. It never does. There is this illusion of being happy, but deep down inside, that spark flickers. When I am being of service to others, helping other beings, doing things that bring happiness to myself and my sharing that happiness with others, am I aligned with the Divines plan for me and my greater purpose. True Self is pure spirit. By giving more of myself, by lowering my guard with others am I letting them see my true self. This is the work I am doing with my spiritual teacher. To help clear away that which blocks or hides me from my true self. That which continues to widen the schism between my true self and Source of all things possible. The universe like the Divine is infinite. Extraordinary me has always been about finding and exploring my deeper truths and my higher self. I have the Divine potential within me to manifest a life that has been designed to serve a higher purpose, a greater purpose. If I can dream it and my intentions are pure, I can share it with the world. By being true to my higher self to that growing spark within- can I see the spark in all others. That from which we all come from and that to which we all return. All are reflections of me and the Living God within.
