What is Consciousness? • A Channeling

Candice: I can’t believe it. As soon as I sit down, a conversation begins, and the messengers start addressing my unasked questions.

Messengers: Consciousness is awareness. It is an understanding that life is more than physical matter reality—something that most humans do not understand.

 Consciousness, being awareness, is a field of life-force energy. It is possible to utilize this energy to navigate life. Humans, if they understand the conceptual underpinnings of consciousness, can use consciousness to achieve peace in troubled times.

 Humans can also use this remarkable energy of consciousness to discover and explore life beyond their three-dimensional living.

Candice: What? Consciousness is awareness, okay, I understand that, but how can it help us discover and explore life beyond our 3-D existence?

Messengers: Becoming “aware of awareness,” operationally defines the concept. In Earth plane terms, consciousness becomes a tool to assist humans in navigating those perceived tumultuous challenges.

Candice: I think about the words and how becoming aware of awareness is the key. But that sounds like circular thinking. I don’t understand. Can this be true? I am eager to learn more.

Messengers: Allow us to explain. We shall start with a visual conceptualization of awareness—a dot, a small circle.

 This dot represents the human’s Point of Existence (PoE). In its dormant state, it rests comfortably within the physical body. Due to this location, many humans think that they are their physical bodies.

 We say that is not so. It is only their perception that allows this false premise to persist.

 Their Point of Existence is not the physical body; it simply resides in the body.

Candice: I let this sink in. Our consciousness only resides in the body. Hmmm.

Okay, we are not our physical bodies, yet how many times have I talked about my foot, my hair, my hand?

I understand consciousness is not the body—that’s a good beginning, but what’s next? What is this Point of Existence the messengers talk about?

Messengers: The PoE is a particle of life-force energy.

Candice: Got it. I can even see that tiny dot, tucked away, snoozing somewhere comfy in my body. So far, so good. I was ready to hear more.

Messengers: Good, you understand. We shall move to the next step.

Candice: I’m game.

Messengers: When that particle of energy (PoE) begins to expand, humans discover the ability to bend space and time. This is a normal occurrence in our realms but not so in the Earth plane.

 We often find it amusing to observe the initial reactions of humans when they experience this phenomenon.

Candice: My heart pounds and my breath quickens at their words. What?

Messengers: Yes, space and time are malleable. They exist as vibrational patterns and can thus be manipulated.

Candice: I’m reeling from these two messages when I sense a smile from the messengers. Sometimes I think they enjoy my reactions.

I sit up in my chair, ready to learn more.

Messenger: Let us look at what humans call time and space. Many humans think of time as linear, as a straight path from Event A to Event B. Humans say, “Time marches forward.”

Candice: I can’t disagree. Doesn’t time only move forward, never back?

With that thought, an image popped into my mind. I saw a straight line connecting something labeled Point A to my left and Point B to the right. Superimposed on this straight line was a series of small circles skipping toward Point B.

Adding consciousness to the concept of time is something I had not considered, but this image is helpful and easy to understand. Those tiny circles represent consciousness, and this awareness travels a straight path that is sequential and logical.

Yep. That’s how time works. It’s a linear path. I smile, feeling more than a little smug that the image from the messengers matches my understanding of time.

Oops. The hair on the back of my neck stands up and I sense what might be a chuckle from the messengers. I shake my head as my confidence crumbles. I realize I’m about to step into new territory.

Messengers: The concept humans have of time exists only within the structure of the Earth plane. It is a human-designed construct to understand the greater aspect of living in a three-dimensional environment.

 The true nature of time in our plane of existence is this: it does not exist. Period. Allow an explanation.

 Before humans enter our dimension, they reach an interface that contains aspects of both dimensional spaces. Within this transitional space, Earth plane time and the timelessness of our dimensional space blend, and the fluid nature of time becomes apparent.

 Time is not designated by a straight line; it is an energy wave called a sinewave.

Candice: Another chart enters my mind’s eye, and a curvy sinewave replaces the straight path connecting A to B. As the PoE circle travels this newer path, it takes longer. There is more “road” to cover.

This new picture shows time’s fluid nature that the messengers referenced. With that thought, more images came, and I cringe. I see myself in an endodontist’s chair, having a root canal.

Okay, okay. Enough. I get it. Time slows when I’m having a root canal, but I know it flies when I’m having fun.

A sinewave connecting A to B is more accurate than a straight line. Time is more complex, less defined, and more fluid. Point taken.

I swallow hard and meekly ask what’s next?

Messengers: Expanding consciousness.

Candice: Expanding consciousness? Immediately, I see scenes of near-death experiences, people praying, groups meditating, shamanic rituals, people practicing yoga, and people sleeping who, for some reason, I know are having lucid dreams.

Messengers: Yes. That is when the magic occurs.

Candice: My opening to channeling was spontaneous like an NDE or a lucid dream, but these other scenes suggest we can initiate this expansion.

I think about that and realize, of course, we can. But what does this have to do with time?

Messengers: When humans expand consciousness, their awareness morphs into a 3-dimensional globe of dynamic, life-force energy.

Candice: Here we go again. The illustration changes and the small PoE dot no longer travels along the sinewave; it has become a huge sphere.

Our consciousness has transformed into a giant three-dimensional globe of awareness, and it expands like a set of lungs. With each breath, it grows larger and covers more and more of the sinewave. Holy cow!

Messengers: Yes, this is a representation of a change in quantum structure. The Point of Existence no longer exists in particle form; it has morphed into a waveform, a field of energy.

Candice: My eyes crinkle into a smile. This simple illustration is profound, showing me when I expand my consciousness, I gain access to more time than just the present.

Is this how psychics predict the future? Is this how they learn about past lives?

This makes perfect sense. My awareness (PoE) is no longer a flat tiny circle or dot. It is now a living, dynamic sphere of existence.

I am stunned as I watch the sphere engulf even more of the sinewave, illustrating that the greater we expand, the more time we can access. Amazing.

Messengers: Yes. As the particle enlarges into a waveform, humans experience “time” differently. Their expanded awareness grants access to what humans refer to as the past. This expansive state also offers views of probable futures. Their perception of time changes.

 Learning to use consciousness as a tool is empowering. It untethers humans from their Earth plane existence that operates by their limited five physical senses.

 This untethering allows their Points of Existence to return to the field of Source from whence they came. Without the encumbrances of the physical body, the human connects to everything. They become the energy field of all that is.

 It is at this point that many humans realize the Truth:
They
Are
Consciousness.

Candice: I realize I am not my physical body. I am awareness. I am consciousness. I am unity. I am that field of existence where everything is connected—in all space, in all time.

I am.

I take a deep breath as I grab a nearby tissue to dab my wet cheeks. I thank my messengers for providing yet another puzzle piece in this endless, shifting mosaic called life.
