Your world is your present consciousnessThis is a repost of mine. In a chat with u/cuban they asked me about my belief in myself being God. I want to answer yes but I still have doubts, beliefs of God being a separate entity from me that is always with me. And then today randomly scrolling through my old posts I opened this one and only this one. How beautifully simple.Only once during an I AM meditation have I felt this weird wave, it was like lights were going by me very faintly as if I was moving through a tunnel. My body felt weightless. And suddenly I was in nothing. Not just seeing black behind my eyes but a weightless, black, calming abyss of just being.I snapped out of it way too quickly and am still trying to get back.But onto the repost from last year when I was first reading all of Neville’s books:Your world is your present consciousnessIt’s so simple when put that way. All you have around you is because you have declared this is who you are.From the book, “At your command”:“You could never be in want of proof or lack the evidence of that which you are aware of being. This being true, why not become aware of being great; God-loving; wealthy; healthy; and all attributes that you admire?”Read that a few times, even read it out loud to make sure it sinks in. You create what you are, it’s your view of yourself that makes your world. So ask yourself why are you making this so much work, this takes practice but shouldn’t be exhausting, it’s not work, it’s imagining and loving yourself! Neville speaks of us making our ‘problems’ giants and putting too little faith into ourselves.“... you can only be to others what you are first to yourself. Therefore, to revalue yourself and begin to feel yourself to be the giant, a center of power...”How I understand this is to change your view of yourself, it all goes back to self love. I am a goddess, I am a delightful person, I am a fantastic friend, I am a joy to be around, I am energized and excited about life! I’m not just saying these, I AM all of these things.Move your focus away from what you feel isn’t going right, slowly start to change your world to build your faith and love yourself more. You truly are a glorious being and should walk with your head high.“It is just as easy to possess the consciousness of these qualities as it is to possess their opposites for you have not your present consciousness because of your world. On the contrary, your world is what it is because of your present consciousness. Simple, is it not? Too simple in fact for the wisdom of man that tries to complicate everything.”Make sure to read that one a few times too! It’s simple but we complicate it.So where to start....? Well, Neville covers that too. With YOU and what you have within. Stop looking for signs, stop reacting to what is current around you, you created it to be this way anyways and start with the basics...connecting with God.“Before man can attempt to transform his world he must first lay the foundation – “I AM the Lord.” That is, man’s awareness, his consciousness of being is God. Until this is firmly established so that no suggestion or argument put forward by others can shake it, he will find himself returning to the slavery of his former beliefs.”Now I suggest you go start reading and/or listening to Neville’s books to really ‘get it’ but he says this in “At your command” (which you can find a free link to read or listen to in the about section of this sub or for free on you tube):“All of your present beliefs, fears and limitations are weights that bind you to your present level of consciousness.If you would transcend this level you must leave behind all that is now your present self, or conception of yourself. To do this you take your attention away from all that is now your problem or limitation and dwell upon just being. That is; you say silently but feeling to yourself, “I AM.”Do not condition this ‘awareness’ as yet. Just declare yourself to be, and continue to do so, until you are lost in the feeling of just being – faceless and formless.When this expansion of consciousness is attained, then, within this formless deep of yourself give form to the new conception by FEELING yourself to be THAT which you desire to be.”
You bring up a very interesting point. I still have difficulty accepting that I'm a God. Perhaps the difficulty in believing it is because Men have created a "man alike" image of god. Anyway, you bring up a very good point I share but I also I am at crossroads with the following: If God is consciousness, then how can we be "married" to consciousness? So I believe then that being an extension of consciousness makes sense. We are part of the same substance of consciousness. Thinking of it like umbilical cords that make us and give life to us.
But when we put "God" to this analisis, it immediately directs our attention, or in other words, it brings to our man that God is an omnipresent loving "Man". Hence, the feeling of separation.
With consciousness there is no separation because it has no form.
How ever, GOD, we have a different intellectualized concept.
Unless GOD and Consciousness are the same.
Then, by default, there is no marriage, there is no separation, we are that BECAUSE WE ARE MADE of the same substance.
