Becoming Conscious of Becoming Conscious

Today’s episode offers a teaching on

• Access to your consciousness, do you have it?

• Accessing who you are ‘in here’, aka your Self

• Discovering a new awareness about what ‘getting out there’ means

• Defining ‘out there’ for yourself and activating the Observer

• Exploring the ‘missing there’ called “around here” that takes place in the field

• Invitation to become as conscious as you can become…now

Dear Ones,

There is a lot of influence happening ‘out there’ on who you experience yourself as ‘in here’. Let’s have a breakthrough TODAY in arriving as yourself. Becoming as conscious as you can be. I think sometimes I am here in your life just to keep encouraging you to arrive.

When we ARRIVE you can become a conscious Co-Creator. To really be a conscious Creator we have to be willing to explore the “field” Until then we are often wreckless with how we create. Because if you aren’t inhabiting who you are - then you aren’t able to REALLY create from a space of a coherent self.

Here’s to arriving!

Here's the thing, Beloveds. Your capacity to create the life of your design is really about access to your consciousness. Without that clear access to consciousness, we do not make what we could make and we often make things that are inconsistent with what we actually want and who we actually are, because we're not living "in here".

"In here", meaning in this identity. And when we're not "in here", we embark on a life where we are constantly seeking to change ourselves. Because the life we're living "out there" in the world, doesn't reflect who we are "in here" (in the Self)

And when we're not who we are "in here", everything "out there" occurs for us as somehow true to us. Not going well. Uncomfortable. Not in alignment. Now I want to make a clear point - that we are not spiritually bypassing here. The reality is there are lots of influences that shape who we are "in here" in
ourselves because of what's happening "out there" in the world. But the power we have is the perception of how "out there" and "in here are" in a co-creative relationship with each other... or not. But the thing is, they're always in a co-creative relationship with each other.

You just might not be aware that they are and how to work it.

You can't influence every single thing "out there" unless you can shift your orientation to "in here". But there's more. Before we go on, let's start with what I mean by "in here".

"In here" refers to the body, temple, cooling sack of stars that you are, and the Soul that you are that inhabits the space where you experience yourself as I or me. The Self space that you are occurs for you as inside, "in here". This often includes the sense of the body, but not often enough, the sense of the field and consciousness, which keeps us from being conscious Co-creators.

And what do I mean by "out there"? Well, until we've done more rigorous work within ourselves to observe ourselves, "out there" is everything you do not experience as you. And "out there" often refers to what we think of as the world, yet through the framework of our worldview.

"Out There" a big old space that we are continually interacting with largely in an unconscious way, because we've never really defined what "out there" means. The invitation for the work right now is to arrive, to come into yourself, to become as fully yourself as you can possibly be. And yes, in the twinkling of an eye. Quickly.

It's a quickening because it's available to you now, but you have to choose it.

Let me ask you a question. Have you ever said to yourself: "I just got to get myself out there" ? Entrepreneurs say it, but other people say it too. It's this idea that there's a place you need to get to.

So where is that "out there" for you? Have you defined it? We say it largely in an unconscious way. We don't know what we mean. The idea of "out there" can create fear because it indicates that there's a place to get to and you're not already there. (Wherever there is)

This idea of 'getting out there" indicates that you're somehow going to magically get seen for who you are so you can validate your worth in the eyes of others out there so that you can feel good in here. But listen, to even attempt an authentic version of what happens out there, we have to get in here, in this sack of stars inhabited by identity. Otherwise, we're not responsibly co-creating with creation and creator and other creative beings. In our community, We get "in here" by practicing Intentional Creativity because it's a way to get to know who lives in here.

Our art matriarch who walked into her future in 2014, Sue Hoya Sellers, who was also the woman who mothered me with my own mother, Caron, had a quintessential question that she answered with her whole life. called "who lives in here?". Her art, her philosophy, her spiritual path were all directed by the inquiry of: Who lives in here.

The discovery of that self who lives in here often happens through observing ourselves and amplifies as we observe ourselves in the acts of intentional self-expression. Self-expression without intention is also expression, but if you don't observe it, then you're not actually being metacognitive, which actually gives you perspective on how you are occurring for yourself so you can get to know who lives in here.

So yes, self-expression is a way to get to know the who is in here so that you can shape how you want to live out there in the world that you observe. But here's the thing. Really listen now. There is more than in here and out there.
But we haven't been acting like it. The missing of the interstitial space between how we experience ourselves in here and the world out there has been missing for most of us. And it's called the Field. In this case, when we're talking about your body and your identity, it's a local field specific to you and how you interact with the other fields of people and places and ideas. But you have a field at least 10 feet around your body that's invisible, that's just as much you as your physical body. So there isn't just in here and out there. There's a space between you.

We aren't conscious enough to look for it, but it's where all the action is. Perhaps we could call it "around here". The field is all around your body and your body is held within it and your consciousness is connected with it. But that field that you are is also interconnected with all of creation and creator
and all creative beings. This is our animistic worldview that everything has substance and aliveness. And that your substance and aliveness connects with the other substances and alivenesses. And this creates a connection with Source.

So this willingness to explore "around here", the invisible space, which holds it all in place, invites us into profound self observation, metacognition, which is thinking about thinking. And the observer is the part of you, the neuroscientifically gorgeous part of you, that allows you to think and see and perceive who you experience yourself as. Which allows you to be on a journey of becoming as conscious as you can or becoming conscious of becoming conscious.

When you become conscious of the practice of becoming conscious, then you can become a responsible and resilient and radiant Co-creator. Otherwise, we are often reckless in our capacity to see and feel all the interconnected parts in the field. So if there's only in here and out there and there's no space between, we're not acknowledging interconnection.
And if you do not acknowledge interconnection, you do not become the Co-creator with all of creation that you could become.

And sometimes I think, this is why I'm in your life. You are all out there creating consciously or unconsciously. And I'm someone in your life who continues to remind you to become accountable to becoming conscious in here and around here.

We need conscious, creative, compassionate, caring, intentional community to hold sacred containers with one another right now. Our experience of what's happening out there can often feel scary. If you will tune into in here and around here, you can become powerful in your relationship with out there by choosing the framework that you're interacting with the out there space.
And you can't do that without getting into the around here part, the field.

Einstein says the field is the sole governing agency of the particle. That means that the field around you and around others is where the action takes place that impacts the matter you experience as your body, which then sends chemistry and signals and emotions, which then send the information from the body to the brain and the brain to the body and the heart as the intelligent mediator of this exchange. All this is happening all the time anyway. The only question is will you become a Co-creator and become accountable to who you're becoming?

You could arrive to be as much you as you can be right now by just choosing. Will you choose with me?

With love,
