Awareness Transforms
Part 1

As seen from a higher dimension, the physical universe is inside us; we transcend the dimensional world
Since June 12 of last year, when I realized what Michael wanted from me (and his many other co-creative partners, here at this time), I find myself responding now to inner currents rather than outer. (1)
I go where I’m drawn. And right now, I’m being drawn to fill in a very large crossword puzzle called the rebirth of the growth movement.
At the same time I don’t have the leisure to do extensive research. I’ll have to do it on the basis of insights, precepts, and experiences I can recall.
My purpose, as always, is to stimulate others who do have the time for research to develop the fields I point to – cross-cultural/interdimensional spirituality, trauma therapy/vasanas/purification, the divine qualities, the flow of love, etc.
I cannot but mention the subject of love and I’m in the very flow of it. It crept up on me from I know not where.
Love is the great Fact of the universe.
All roads lead to God, by one detour or another. But love is the expressway.

I said in another place that, in approaching this subject, I’ll be following John Enright’s formula of awareness, responsibility, and communication.
Let me start then with awareness.
I used to call awareness “dissolutive.” Apparently I’d made up the word.
I was seeing that awareness dissolves. Why and how it does I don’t know. I held this opinion for many years, feeling quite lonely, until I came across a passage from Jesus in which he states the case very clearly:
Jesus: You have to realize that consciousness is something very powerful. It is much more than a passive registering of an emotion – consciousness is an intense creative force. …
Consciousness is not something static; things do not remain as they are. You will notice that if you do not nourish the energy of the emotion or of your judgment about it, they will gradually dissipate. …
Awareness transforms – it is the major instrument for change. (2)
Yes! That’s such a pregnant statement: “Awareness … is the major instrument for change.”
The way I used to see it was as if I was painting something with awareness and watching it dissolve. Awareness was like paint remover.

It’s quite the contrary with resistance. Instead of remaining passively aware of the condition, in which case, we’ll speed its departure, we wrestle with it. We resist it. And as Werner Erhard observed, what we resist persists.
If we’re wrestling with something, we’re giving it energy. We’re hanging on to it. And it’s obligingly staying around.
Let me stop here with having introduced what I see as the three major divisions of the growth movement’s philosophy: awareness, responsibility, and communication. And having said a few words of introduction to awareness as an area of emphasis, as I recall it.
