Dear Jason,
I have a question for you sir; What is consciousness? Is it something that is supposed to be straightforward and clear? And if so, have we been conditioned to experience a blur when our true potential is far more sincere?
I tell you this now, and forever again: We are made of the stardust from god, and with this universe we have divine alliance with the planetary system in which we reside.
“Wooaa there buddy, not so fast! How do you know that we are more than just gas?” Is it just me, or is there more to life than wants and fantasy? A part of humans are hardwired to desire for more - to know that what we have may be better if we go for that door. Open it, step in and explore the wonder - Only to find that the nostalgia will have been plundered.
Can we connect on a more serious level? Mind, body and spirit - link it all up. Tell your body with your mind what your soul’s intuition has placed on the table to provide as a mission.
You can see past the stars. You can fly beyond your eyes. Why were our ancestors obsessed with aligning toward the skies? What more is there to this consciousness we have? My instincts tell us we are far from having it in the bag… There is much more to “universal oneness” than has been said to be known. We have so much more to explore and learn about. For our own sense of reality could be marvelously altered if we were shown behind the veil - what’s been hidden from the past - and allowed to be free enough to explore the universe… at last.
What do you think? Are we free to believe? How do we dive deeper into what reality and consciousness really means?
Cheers mate,
Nathan Davila
