Future Consciousnesses

Consciousness is perhaps the single biggest influence on your daily life and the greatest influence on the future.

I’ll define consciousness here as “the reality that you are experiencing at any given moment.” That said, at this moment we are all experiencing dozens of them.

Here’s an analogy: imagine a world with millions of bubbles of different sizes. Some are inside other bubbles and some surround all perceivable bubbles.

Each of these bubbles is constructed of a collection of related beliefs. When you are inside a bubble you will see those beliefs as true. At some point, you subscribed to those beliefs much like you subscribe to a magazine and those beliefs became yours.

There are dozens of different types of bubbles — bubbles for identities and personalities, and agendas that drive your behaviors. They each contain different wisdoms, strategies, and compulsions.

If you are being a dad or a brother or a teacher or boss, for example, you access a group of bubbles that contain all you can know or experience about those roles. It’s all quite automatic, really, and not that effective at performing those individual jobs in my opinion as they are not easily editable and don’t always deal with the present situation.

Collectively, these bubbles you subscribe to comprise who you think you are, plus the person others think you are plus those identities that you really don’t want to be and are resisting. They are the voices in your head and the source of your uncontrolled behaviors. These are not the same thing as your brain or your soul or You.

It’s all quite fascinating, though, and a worthy path of study as discovering the source of consciousnesses is an effective model for resolving issues of errant human experience or behavior.

Within these bubbles, one will experience just what that group of beliefs allows you to feel. Adopting or shifting one’s attention to a different bubble will give you a completely different experience.

As an example: contemplate a friend who has a radically different political opinion than yours. Notice how you feel and react. Perhaps angry or frustrated with all the personality traits of an angry or frustrated person including a lack of generosity, tolerance and even wit. Now contemplate a child who has recently accomplished something of which you are proud and contemplate how that feels. In a flash, you will experience generosity, tolerance, and humor. Your patriot identity experiences a grim hopeless reality and your parent identity experiences a joyous optimistic and empowered reality. Changing your identity, changes who you are and what you will experience.

There are numerous techniques for resolving these packages of experiences but most are proprietary so I am limited to saying “feel outward from where you are until you identify a bubble’s outer edge that resonates with or contains what is on your mind. Then imagine making it larger” (the bubble identity).  Done right, it will go away. This works equally well with feelings of hate, anger, grief or whatever feeling is distracting or impeding you. It is a form of targeted empathy.

But these little proximate consciousnesses aren’t the future influencers that impel the big experiences; it is the huge “mass or collective” consciousnesses that hold the big beliefs that exert the most influence over the future. The ones that “aren’t your fault.” When I say huge, I mean the bubbles that define time or physics or religious beliefs or even those beliefs senior to them. It is these beliefs that inspire the disruptive breakthrough technologies that cause society to spin on a dime in a different direction. When it happens, it is breathtaking and General Reality going forth will experience chaos for a bit and then realign with mankind’s quest for challenge.

 

It is this level of consciousness that also acts as a safety valve. If something goes wrong in a terrorist’s plot or a gun jams or a miracle saves the day or saves a home or a person or a ship, some specific consciousness is active and has added an impetus for the perpetuation of a consciousness that manifests as fate or luck or spiritual interference.

Of course, that doesn’t mean that luck, fate or spiritual interference don’t exist. They do but as individual consciousnesses. If danger arises, by all means, say a prayer, kiss an Irishman and trust in your karma, or all three or just enter another grand, higher responsibility consciousness. The last approach is a little more consistent at having an idealized outcome, I find.

All consciousness is shared and accessible to everyone with a little effort. There are consciousnesses that stand guard over the perseverance of reality and as such keep hope, courage, and curiosity alive when chaos is undermining order and prediction. And it is these consciousness that when changed, redefine the status quo.

The evolution of senior “Consciousnesses” is quite predictable. It evolves naturally toward harmony, growth and joy, and the creation of life of all kinds. When thwarted by chaos, suppression, hate, misery and unjust death, these “Consciousness” will disintegrate those corrupt consciousnesses so they too can evolve into harmless mystery.
