- What does THE ART OF CONSCIOUS LIVING mean to you?
- Being concious means accepting ones reality wholeheartedly all the time. It does not mean understanding and then accepting but comes from an ever-strengthening faith in the belief that all is perfect all the time. By experiencing life from within this framework one is challenged by concepts which cause fear. Our fear, in turn, has led us to agree that these things (which cause us fear) are intrinsically negative and imperfect. But, in Consciousness there is nothing essencially negative in the sense of non-perfect. There are opposites which provide motion, but there is nothing that does not come from Divine Purpose and Divine Will. There are many manifestations we have contrived to "work" towards consiousness. But, seems to me, the true "work" is to relax into the knowledge that we are already conscious, that we are already enlightened, that we are already good enough, that we are already where we ought to be, that we are already perfect.
- What are your intended results when joining this community?
- My intention is to join together with you, my brothers and sisters, to support the awakening process in each of us through my presence and willingness to respond when moved by Spirit and through Truth. I do not intend to help perpetuate "agreed upon" truths or help others remain in the pain of fear because it is easier or because it has become their comfort zone. I intend to speak from an ex-patriot heart in hope to create a kind of sonoric dissonance which may serve to stop those who hear it in their tracks and help them pay attention to the messages coming through their hearts instead of their minds or from these writings.
- About Me:
- I am a group leader at the Casa of Dom Inacio in Abadiania, Brazil, working with John of God and the Entities of Light who manifest in this rural oasis in the heart of Brazil to teach and love. I take small monthly groups to see John of God for whatever reason each group member is called and hold their hands while Spirit enters into their beings at levels often never before experieced nor imagined. I walk with them and pray and nudge them back on track when possible and encourage them to stay out of the box for as long as possible. It is my belief that Spirit is working with all of us all the time no matter where we are, but that it is fun and healing to be conscious of Spirit on a more tangible plane. The work at the Casa provides this experience. I was called to this mission, I have accepted this mission with ever-growing simplicity and humility and work with joy and love in my heart. My website is www.johnofgodhealing.com and I welcome all to read about John of God and myself more in order to get a better feel of what this work can be. It is with immense gratitude for the privilege of being here with you, my brothers and sisters, on this planet at this time in history that I pray here and now, Namaste.
About
The 8 States of Consciousness
The physical world we normally experience is a shadow of the real world. The real world, the world of spirit, exists behind a veil, and the veil is our own conditioning. In truth, we are not bound by the world of space, time, matter, and causation, but the veil prevents us from seeing this truth. It also prevents us from living in power, freedom, and grace.
In the fourth state of consciousness, we begin to sense the deeper reality that is orchestrating the physical world, and there is a tearing in the veil that separates the physical and spiritual realms. Just as we have to wake up from the dream state to experience waking consciousness, we have to wake up from what we call waking consciousness to glimpse our spirit, our inner self. This is called glimpsing the soul, and it’s the fourth state of consciousness. It’s simply to be in touch with our soul.
This leads to the fifth state of consciousness, or cosmic consciousness, when our soul fully wakes up in waking, dreaming, and sleeping. Our body can be fast asleep, but our soul, the silent witness, is watching the body in deep sleep. Our body can be walking, and the silent witness is watching the body walk. Our awareness is localized in space time, and it’s non-local, or transcendent, at the same time.
If we don’t interfere with nature’s intelligence, then we start to awaken into the sixth state of consciousness, divine consciousness. In divine consciousness, we see and feel the presence of spirit in everything. When we wake up in divine consciousness, we don’t just see a leaf, or a table, or a cloud, or a rainbow; we see the whole universe being all these things.
Next, we waken to the seventh state of consciousness, which is unity consciousness. This is when the spirit inside us, which is now fully awake, merges with the spirit inside objects, which are also now fully awake. The universe is conscious, and because it is conscious, it is conscious of itself. So the eighth state of consciousness, infinite consciousness, is its own observer. The observer is the discontinuity, the gap, the off.

WHAT IS CONSCIOUS LIVING?
The Art of Conscious Living is about taking the time for yourself to think about and choose the life you want. It is about understanding and changing any negative thoughts, patterns and behaviours we may have. It is about raising self awareness, becoming aware of our thoughts and words, choosing them consciously and carefully, taking back our power. By taking the time to examine our lives, our own needs, and our behaviours we are not only much more likely to achieve the things we seek but also really learn from our past successes and mistakes. In this way, we take back our power and our lives, you are in charge, not your subconscious. But even more importantly, as you live consciously, you are now learning, and can modify old beliefs with your new adult experiences. This means that your automatic responses, which you will always have to rely on for those sudden and immediate responses will now respond along the lines of the person you are today.
