What is Consciousness?

What is Consciousness?

One of the most fundamental questions that's nearly impossible to answer in a meaningful way, because everything is consciousness as it exists in different degrees, levels, and modes . . .

Becoming More Self-Aware

One of the greatest challenges we have in life in terms of being able to facilitate our own growth and development, comes in being "aware" of ourselves, in terms of how we're feeling, what internal processes are always being set in motion by how we're stimulated by others and our environment, and as the story we're always in the process of telling ourselves that makes everything mean what it does. We tend to always be focused on others rather than paying attention to what's happening inside of us in relations to others . . . .

So many people spend their entire life focused on other people while being controlled by others through their own emotional reactions, often feeling as though life is happening to them beyond their ability to control or direct it, yet if you step back and observe your life from a detached perspective, you'll realize that you're the one who's always creating how you experience things. It's not what happens to you that matters in the most basic sense, but how you respond to what happens, or use it as the means for developing yourself to a higher level of self-mastery . . .

One of the most basic things we lack nowadays, and that's being intentionally taught-out of people. We have a tendency to glorify weakness, cater to mindless sensitivity and sentiment, and fail to recognize the spiritual power and significance of our own conscience and morality . . .

The Art of Introspection – Self-Knowledge, Awareness, and Tools for Transformation

The Art of Introspection – Self-Knowledge, Awareness, and Tools for Transformation: The Art of Introspection – Self-Knowledge, Awareness, and Tools for Transformation › Dr. Linda Gadbois › Spiritual Sciences - Mystery School Teachings

The most basic purpose of life is to allow our spirit and higher self to produce experiences as a way of "knowing itself", but very few people truly realize how it is they're always acting "on themselves" to first form how they experience everything, while also shaping themselves according to their own experiences. We can have a tendency of always focusing on others and the world at large, instead of turning our attention inward and observing our own internal processes which function in relation with everything else. One of the greatest skills we can learn in being able to consciously facilitate our own growth and development comes by learning the art of introspection and self-observation . . . .  

Gaining a Practical Understanding of the Principles Involved for Our Soul to Transcend the Material Plane

Gaining a Practical Understanding of the Principles Involved for Our Soul to Transcend the Material Plane: Gaining a Practical Understanding of the Principles Involved for Our Soul to Transcend the Material Plane › Dr. Linda Gadbois › Spiritual Sciences - Mystery School Teachings 

This idea can be difficult to fully grasp in practical terms because it’s very esoteric in the sense that it requires a true shift in awareness in order to be able to employ intentionally. It requires an in-depth understanding of the Universal Laws involved along with a realization of the “true nature” of the very “reality” we’re looking to transcend. It’s not about looking around at all the ideas that are out there regarding the idea of ascending, but rather gaining a comprehensive understanding of the laws involved to the point where you can come up with your own ideas and processes for intelligently developing your consciousness in an individual manner. All growth and development only comes by way of intentional action, disciplined effort, and constant striving. There’s no such thing as an “easy path” to higher domains, and all true creation requires deliberate use of choice and will in creating ourselves as an “individual” rather than buying into the “group mind” of always looking for someone else’s ideas that we can accept and use as our own . . . 

The Archetypal Nature of the Spirit, the Creative Power of the Soul and the Nature of the Self

One of the greatest mysteries that often still eludes us in the most basic sense, is forming a basic understanding of what our "soul" is, how it correlates with our mind, and the universal laws and archetypal principles that provide us with instruction on how to use our mind and soul as a means of growing and evolving ourselves to a higher level of creativity and intelligence . . .  

A New Way for Understanding the True Nature of Your Mind and Soul

A New Way for Understanding the True Nature of Your Mind and Soul: A New Way for Understanding the True Nature of Your Mind and Soul › Dr. Linda Gadbois › Spiritual Sciences - Mystery School Teachings

It’s interesting to notice how modern science and psychology are acting to steer us away from our own true spiritual nature by attempting to equate our “mind” with our brain and body, and our “memories” as something stored in the brain, while debunking the idea of the “soul” as being real. They’re simultaneously gearing us up for the idea of merging our personal consciousness with a computer (the singularity) as a way of supposedly achieving immortality. Yet we already possess immortality through the very nature of our mind and soul. We’re being systematically taught to think of our “self” as our physical body and personality rather than our soul and consciousness, which promotes the natural assumption that when our body dies, we, as an individual, will also die and cease to exist. Yet nothing could be further from the truth . . .
