If anyone tells you that shifting consciousness is easy, or that walking away from the belief in separation is a cakewalk, they’re misrepresenting the process. The decision to revise my life experience has garnered all of my energy and focus. The mere opening of my eyes in the morning triggers my memory that the time is now, not to get up and go about the business of a so-called day of “normal,” but to live life, to do what I do, from a state of consciousness that is unlike the one that I went to sleep with. I kid you not. If you have taken the business of shifting your life experience to heart, you know that I am not exaggerating.
Morphing out of the time-space continuum, or the 3rd dimension, is accomplished only with an unlearning of the beliefs that weld us to it. The state of consciousness of separation must be known; it must be made conscious. The core beliefs of the separation are what must be un-learned, must be un-thought. It is our energy that has made and maintains the system of separation. Those core beliefs are what we have so thoroughly, so systematically and, most of all, so repetitiously learned that it is what we have come to refer to as the norm. It’s what I refer to as life in the box.
The world that we inhabit, the world of separation, is nothing more than a reflection of our collective, most well-defended and cherished beliefs. To unlearn, to un-think the separation is to redirect the energy that maintains it. It is to free up energy to create a new experience. This is, in short, recalibration.
So, how do we recalibrate? First, a false identity must be unlearned, and true identity accepted: we are all unique expressions of the Source or All That Is in physical form. Since we are all unique expressions of the same Source, we are all the same!
Most of us want proof of this true identity and we seek validation from some outside source. We want to be convinced that what we’ve learned about who we are is not true. Some look to their religions. Some look to the scientific community, which is running about ten thousand years behind, stuck in their own creation of counterintuitive assumptions and beliefs about evolution. So there’s no help there!
Proof is one of the core beliefs of the separation. What’s valid, according to proof, today could very well, and most likely will be, invalid in ten years. So don’t put any of your eggs in that basket. Acceptance, on the other hand, does not require proof because it doesn’t require the manufacturing and defense of beliefs. Proof is a constant engagement with defense, a battle, and it’s life-degenerating. This desire for proof will automatically and naturally be fulfilled following acceptance, and it is life generating.
Second, forgiveness. Forgiveness works as a solvent, loosening the glue of blame that binds to the core belief that something, someone, or a condition determines the life experience. Blame must be un-learned and un-thought, and forgiveness must replace it. While blame de-energizes by projecting energy to an outside agency, forgiveness deconstructs the habitual mechanism to project. Forgiveness directs your focus on your own agency to create the conditions and even the structures that shape your physical experience. Forgiveness is life generating, and it raises energetic resonance, meaning that how the mind operates is closer to the operation of the mind of Source. Forgiveness is practiced, judiciously, until there is nothing and no one left to forgive.
Another element of recalibration, no judgment, accept everything. Judgments are like anchors. Imagine rising in the morning and every hour or so, you put a brick in your side pockets! By the end of the day, you’ve accumulated twenty or more bricks, weighing on both sides. You think that’s tiring? It can more accurately be defined as self-imposed suffering. Judgments require justification, which is nothing more than a series of beliefs strung meaninglessly and haphazardly together to defend the separation.
Note that acceptance does not mean to condone. It simply means to accept what is, without the attribution of good or bad, or any variation thereof. If someone takes a gun and open fires in The Olive Garden, or any other place, acceptance doesn’t mean to condone the behavior that leads to the taking of human lives; in other words, acceptance, in this case, is not a permission slip to go on a shooting spree! Acceptance is the knowing that the separation is the cause, and no matter how much gun laws are reformed, no matter how much prison time is sentenced, it will not and cannot remediate the cause: the belief in separation. Judgment can’t change that reality, but it can hide it.
As a side note, don’t bother to look for solutions in the separation that are the result of the separation. It doesn’t solve problems. It only manufactures them. The point here is that, with acceptance, energy used to judge can be redirected to the creation of a new experience, free of the resistance that the practice of judgment and non-acceptance produces.
Finally, there is no loss, only gain, under the law of Love, the law by which universes are created and sustained, nourished and expanded. The belief in loss is supported by the ancillary beliefs of lack, limitation and scarcity. The conscious decision to live under the law of Love is the decision to redirect the energy. This is the energy formerly required to maintain whatever conditions or structures that served to make one feel loveless.
To put it another way, to believe in and focus on lack, limitation and scarcity is the way to create them in form. It is a belief that blocks the awareness of Love’s presence. The belief in loss, as all the other core separation beliefs, is degenerating; whereas Love is life giving and life supporting. Love is life. Feeling loved and supported frees the mind to create experiences that reflect the reality of limitless power and abundance!
There is a common denominator in the shift or recalibration to the new normal: the absence of thinking. Thinking is the method of learning the separation, and in it, is judged as an exalted activity. It is purported to be a sign of intelligence; whereas in truth, it wreaks havoc in the mind that was never created to think. Thinking is the way of the separated being. Acceptance is the way out of the separation. It returns the mind to its original state of peace and wholeness, so that peace and wholeness is what it creates in physical form.
I have only focused upon four of the core beliefs of the separation, ones that the majority of us share. Some core beliefs are particular to families, people who share the same religious path, people who share the same ethnicity and race, or/and the same geographical region. But the ones that I have mentioned, when dismantled, cannot but bring all the others to conscious awareness for release.
This movement out of the state of separation by way of unlearning and unthinking the beliefs in separation initiates the recalibration of normal.
