12. Reflecting on being CONSCIOUS

Hello! Welcome to this sacred space … welcome to this quiet moment …
and welcome to a short reflective and meditative time together!
I’m Bill Bauman … and I’m deeply honored
to be spending these few precious moments with you.
Let’s reflect now on … being CONSCIOUS!
Being conscious! Being aware! Having consciousness!
Have you ever thought that one of your gifts is that you are aware?
I don’t just mean that you have a consciousness, an awareness.
I mean much more than that.
I mean that you’ve been given a gift of a really big consciousness—
a higher consciousness.
You enjoy an awareness that is elevated and expansive,
widespread and comprehensive, bigger and larger.
Yes, more than the average human being,
your consciousness has been filled with luminous rays of light.
It’s been blessed with an orientation, a drive, to reach beyond …
to reach for the stars,
to grasp the bigger and grander meanings of existence,
to wonder at and search for the grandeur of creation.
to find the transcendent, transpersonal, the mystical truths,
and, then, to embrace and even to live in those higher realms of consciousness,
realms beyond those that the regular human mind is wired to contemplate.
What a gift! To be conscious and aware!
To be a participant in realms and worlds that are other-terrestrial,
but that, in truth, can be equally alive and well within you—
in your conscious awareness!
How blessed you are to have been lifted above regular human consciousness
and to host, rooted deep within yourself, a higher consciousness,
a higher realm of pure light, a mystically-clad world of love,
a mighty source of quantum possibilities.
What a blessing! What a gift—
to have been created and chosen to live a human life …
and also a spiritual life … and, then, even a quantum life—
all simultaneously and in harmony!
All in your elevated and blessed consciousness!
Indeed, you are a special kind of human! A new version of human!
A newly created, newly minted, newly empowered human—
one whose consciousness has been molded to live in multiple levels of existence,
in numerous styles of reality and in various zones of creation
at the same time!
All in the gifted and expansive world of your wonder-filled consciousness!
How rich your life! How blessed your person!
How expansive your vision! And how fulfilling your consciousness!
As we know, human-ness can be confusing and perplexing.
You, though, have even blessed to seek and find its bigger truths,
the ones that come “from above,” from the heavens,
from higher realms of creation.
Let’s spend these few moments together celebrating your consciousness!
Finding inner gratitude for the blessing of your expansive nature!
Soaking in the bath waters of the beauty and elegance
of your “higher mind,” “deeper awareness” and “higher consciousness.”
As we’re doing that, let’s also recall that you're not alone.
Let’s remember that you’re a part of an informal group, a growing number, of persons
with the same calling, with the same internally-generated urge
to think bigger and wonder bigger, to reach above the human forest
and find the same stars.
Let’s join with them—in spirit, at least—right now.
And let’s drink in their support, their love, their blessing—
just as they are now drinking in our support, love and blessing.
Because, in this ‘oneness-centered’ larger world of which we all are a part,
blessings and gifts travel in the form of light,
at the speed of light and with the power of light!
So, here you are—a human being with a beyond-human consciousness!
A gifted person hosting a mighty, bigger-dimensional awareness!
A blessed “you” propelled and enriched daily
by a dynamic, other-worldly reality and truth!
Here you are, blessed to have this higher truth available to your human mind!
Blessed to be allowed to live humanly with this expansive consciousness!
And honored to share the gifts of your spiritual and quantum ‘self’
with the people and the world in which we all live!
Thank you for spending this sacred time with me!
As we end our time here, allow me to bless your consciousness anew,
to give you the gift of an even more expanded, more light-filled
and more quantumly generated consciousness!
As we leave each other, I invite you to take a few more minutes alone,
drinking in this new gift, making yourself at home in its blessings
and finding deep peace in its presence!
Thank you!
