Christ Consciousness and Cosmic Consciousness are terms often used interchangeably.  After a couple of quotes, this short article will share various descriptions of the terms.  

Paramahansa Yogananda (born  Mukunda Lal Ghosh; 5 January 1893 – 7 March 1952), my favorite Indian teacher: "When the beads of nations are not held together by the thread of universal perception of Christ Consciousness, of Christ Peace, they fall apart, knocking and scattering on the rocks of selfishness."

Sri Aurobindo (born Aurobindo Ghose; 15 August 1872 – 5 December 1950), an Indian philosopher: “Men are being constantly invaded by the occult hostile forces and there are great numbers of men who are partly or entirely under their influence. Some are possessed by them; others are incarnations of hostile beings. At the present moment they are very active all over the earth. These are the forces and beings that are interested in maintaining the falsehoods they have created in the world of the Ignorance and in putting them forward as the Truth which men must follow.  When one is habituated to see the things behind, one is no longer prone to be touched by the outward aspects – or to expect any remedy from political, institutional or social changes; the only way out is through the descent of a consciousness which is not the puppet of these forces but is greater than they are.”  

My perception, based on other words of Sri Aurobindo, is that the consciousness he is referring to here is Christ Consciousness.  As a spiritual and metaphysical healing/wellbeing facilitator of 30 years, I am quite familiar with these occult hostile forces of various types. However, the subject of this piece is Cosmic Christ Consciousness (my preferred term) aka Christ Consciousness aka Cosmic Consciousness.

In his book, “Cosmic Consciousness: A Study in the Evolution of the Human Mind” (1901), Canadian Psychiatrist Richard Bucke explores the concept of cosmic consciousness, which he defines as "a higher form of consciousness than that possessed by the ordinary man.”  This may be the first delineation of Cosmic Consciousness in modern times.  Steve Taylor, Ph.D. reports in a 2017  “Psychology Today”  article: The main characteristics of cosmic consciousness as identified by Bucke are joyfulness; a revelation of the meaning, purpose, and aliveness of the universe; a sense of immortality; a loss of fear of death; and an absence of the concept of sin. Bucke also highlights the importance of light. Cosmic consciousness may feature an experience of being “immersed in a flame or rose-colored cloud, or perhaps rather a sense that the mind is itself filled with such a cloud or haze.”

Cosmic Consciousness is a term often used to denote a higher or particularly spiritual level of awareness and consciousness. It is said that in a state of Cosmic Consciousness, the human mind is elevated beyond the awareness of the self and the ego, and enters a place of oneness and unity with the universe. [Source: www.yogapedia.com]

There’s a very good article by Ulla Sarmiento titled “What Is Cosmic Consciousness vs. Christ Consciousness?” dated July 30, 2014 at http://bigpicturequestions.com/what-is-cosmic-consciousness-vs-christ-consciousness.  I’ll summarize part of it here.  Guy Needler defined the two terms as follows: Self-realization means one is aware that the human body is not all we are. This leads to Christ consciousness, which is when one is accessing and experiencing the information that is one’s True Energetic Self (TES/Oversoul) within manifest creation.  God-realization means one is in communion with one’s creator. This leads to Cosmic consciousness, which is when one is accessing and experiencing the information that is beyond the TES, which is the Source/God and even the Origin/The All beyond creation. [I resonate with these descriptions of the two terms.]

Some sources I read parts of and scanned include information implying that there are degrees of Christ Consciousness and Cosmic Consciousness. Long-time readers of the Angel-Light Beamer and people who consult with the Angel-Light Team/Collective will remember that we’ve been emphasizing degrees of this, that, and the other “forever.”  It isn’t “yes” or “no” but “how much” (such as how contaminated is one’s auric egg/field; how much the light body is aligned with the physical body; the integrity of one’s circuits, channels, conduits, and meridians; etc.). Years ago, there was someone who would call us for assistance and information who was an either-or person.  He would ask, “Is [name] dark?”  Well, of course the person was dark for heaven’s sake. Few of us are 100% light at this level of existence. I’m given that, at this time, about two percent of us embodied on this plane of existence are 100% light—which is an indication of the quality of the soul. It’s not as simple as that, of course, but simplicity makes things easier to understand.

An admonition often used by spiritual teachers is “test the spirits.”  My personal preference, as a spiritual teacher (and everything else under the umbrella term of “Spiritual & Metaphysical Healing/Wellbeing Facilitator”) is to ask all spirits who show up in my space: “Are you aligned with Christ Consciousness?” I often chant, “I welcome the Christ and the Christed Ones.”  I confess that to me, Christ Consciousness includes loving-kindness, compassion, service-to-others, and no-harm living. You might prefer to ask, “Are you compatible with Christ Consciousness?”  Or, “Are you of service-to-others intent?”  If you have yet to pick your boundary/guideline for interaction with light beings and spirits, reader, we very much recommend you do so. After all, there are those spirits who masquerade as what they are not.

SPIRITUAL HEALING: WHAT IT IS


SPIRITUAL HEALING: WHAT IT IS

Someone was wondering recently what spiritual healing actually is.  Well, simply put, it is healing the spirit also referred to as soul.  Some people include metaphysical healing under the umbrella of spiritual healing, but some of us like to differentiate—for several reasons. One reason is that many people equate the word “spiritual” with the word “religious.”  They are related terms, but being spiritual is so much more than being religious.  Plus, in today’s world, the term “metaphysical” has come to mean “occult” to many people. All the word “occult” means is hidden; yet, some people, especially religious people consider it to be an evil or anti-Christ word. Not true, of course.

Let’s move on with some definitions of spiritual healing from the Internet. You may notice that, in the excerpts from various sources shared below, the terms “spiritual” and “metaphysical” seem to be used interchangeably.  My words are in brackets.

William Stillman at https://www.sharecare.com/health/spiritual-therapies/what-is-spiritual-healing:  Spiritual healing can also pertain to the act of healing others of their physical or emotional ailments through prayer or meditation, which may include the transference of spiritual energy from the administering party through touch or 'laying on of hands."  [In this context, spiritual healing can mean religious healing.]

Boston Women’s Health Club Collective at https://www.sharecare.com/health/spiritual-therapies/what-is-spiritual-healing:
The word "spirit" includes a wide range of concepts, including nonmaterial beings […]. Techniques and rituals used in spiritual healing may include meditation and prayer, touching with healing intent, communication with the spirit realm, and connecting with sacred deities or ancestors.

Arriana Huffington at https://www.sharecare.com/health/spiritual-therapies/what-is-spiritual-healing:
[…] In this largest sense, it [spiritual healing] is about reconnecting to our souls.

Cambridge Dictionary at https://dictionary.cambridge.org/us/dictionary/english/spiritual-healing:
Spiritual Healing is the activity of making a person healthy without using medicines or other physical methods, sometimes as part of a religious ceremony.

The Free Dictionary at https://medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/spiritual+healing:
Spiritual Healing is the use of spiritual practices, such as prayer, for the purpose of effecting a cure of or an improvement in an illness.

Spiritual Research Foundation at https://www.spiritualresearchfoundation.org/spiritual-healing/spiritual-healing-principles/what-is-spiritual-healing:
Spiritual healing is about the diagnosis and removal of the spiritual root cause of the problem. When the root cause of a problem is in the spiritual [non-physical] dimension, then it needs to be counteracted or treated by some method that is spiritually more potent than the cause of the problem. This is termed as spiritual healing. It involves the use of spiritual energy to overcome the problem, such as removal of distress, caused by negative energies. When those who are not affected by any negative energy distress are exposed to spiritual healing energy, they simply receive the benefits of the additional positive energy.

Aletheia Luna and Mateo Sol at https://lonerwolf.com/spiritual-healing:
Spiritual healing is the practice (and experience) of restoring, harmonizing and balancing our Spirit or Soul.  Spiritual healing is also seen as a transcendental experience of reconnecting with our true nature. As author and teacher Shakti Gawain writes: “Spiritual healing occurs as we begin to consciously reconnect with our essential being – the wise, loving, powerful, creative entity that we are at our core.” There are many different approaches to spiritual healing.

A simple definition of metaphysical healing is healing the non-physical—beyond [more than] physical healing.  “Meta” is beyond. “Physical” is the physical world we see with our own eyes.  Let’s look at some definitions of metaphysical healing, by defining the term metaphysics.

Dictionary at https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/metaphysics:
The branch of philosophy that deals with the first principles of things, including abstract concepts such as being, knowing, substance, cause, identity, time, and space.

University of Sedona at https://universityofsedona.com/meaning-of-metaphysics:
[…] If, then, this is the aim of such interests, it is why most professional metaphysical practitioners regard metaphysics as a spiritual philosophy or way of life. […] In the definition found in most dictionaries, metaphysics is referred to as a branch of philosophy that deals with first cause and the nature of being.  […] In a more absolute sense, we like to think of metaphysics as dealing with the basic questions of life, such as the relationship of man, mind, and the Universe.

Ilana Moss at https://www.metaphysics-for-life.com/definition-of-metaphysics.html:
The Definition of Metaphysics is often given as "the philosophical study of that which cannot be perceived with the five physical human senses".  Another definition of metaphysics may be derived from the meaning of its Greek roots - literally "Meta"; meaning beyond or after, and "Physics"; the science (or study) of matter and energy. 

Again, simply put, spiritual healing is healing the spirit, also referred to as soul, and metaphysical healing is healing the non-physical.  I like simplicity.

STARSEEDS: WHAT ARE THEY?


STARSEEDS: WHAT ARE THEY?

When considering expanding my memoir, “Adventures of a Traveling Angel: 1990-2010,” I looked up the definition of “starseeds.”  You see, as I recorded in the memoir, when I was sitting in the park one day, a boy left his family to walk over for a visit, until his dad (who had been speaking in a very controlling way to the children for some time) ordered him to return.  Then another boy left his group at the park and sat down about 5' from me with an expression and body language of contemplation. No one else was anywhere near us. His mother had some difficulty getting him to leave, but to her credit, she was loving about it. I wondered about the boys in the park, and was given "starseeds."  It might be a good idea to include a definition of “starseeds” at this point in the memoir.

I started with easy-to-find definitions.  This was the “top definition” chosen by www . urbandictionary . com. (contributed by Indigo Ivy on December 21, 2016):  Starseed Is a person who is spiritually aware, having a strong connection to the divine creator. Starseeds are said to be old soul sent back to earth to transform the world into the heaven on earth predicted after the end of times. Such persons may display spiritual gifts of clairvoyance, clairaudience or clairsentence. Being able to read minds, others emotions or see future events. (Example: The girl believed she must have been a starseed because she has a feeling of connection to the stars.) 

I like Wikipedia because, although one person can submit a segment, others can challenge and revise it.  According to https://en.wikipedia.org,  Star People [aka starseeds] were introduced by Brad Steiger in his 1976 book “Gods of Aquarius” [on contactees] which argues that certain people originated as extraterrestrials and arrived on Earth through birth or as a walk-in to an existing human body. It is a variant of the belief in alien-human hybrids. There are many different beliefs as to the origins of star people or starseeds. The term "star people" was taken from an existing Native American spiritual concept.  Steiger described "Star People" as "humans who come from a special gene pool linked to visits by extraterrestrials."  They claim to come into human lifeforms and suffer helplessness and total amnesia concerning their identity, origins and life-purpose. The awakening process claimed to be experienced is described as either a gradual series of realizations over time, or an abrupt and dramatic awakening of consciousness. Through the awakening process, they regain memories about their past, origins and missions.  An increase in intuition, psychic ability, and the sense of a more universal "self" that transcends mortal identity are also commonly reported. Some claim communication via telepathy with unearthly beings, either physical or non-physical. Some believe that life exists on other planets. Most believe they have lived on other planets, and many recount experiences they claim are memories of life on other worlds. The concepts of spaceships, intergalactic travel, psychic phenomena and sentient life forms in other galaxies are common.

For those who aren’t familiar with Brad Steiger (and I have been for many years), here’s a description from his site and literature: Steiger first began publishing articles on the unexplained in 1956; since then he has written more than 2,000 paranormal themed articles. From 1970-73, his weekly newspaper column, "The Strange World of Brad Steiger", was carried domestically in over 80 newspapers and overseas from Bombay to Tokyo. Brad Steiger is a world-renowned author of over 175 books with over 17 million copies in print. His titles include; "Mysteries of Time and Space", "Real Ghosts, Restless Spirits and Haunted Places", "Conspiracies and Secret Societies: The Complete Dossier", "Touched by Heaven's Light", "American Indian Medicine Power", "Strangers from the Skies", "Project Bluebook", "The Rainbow Conspiracy", Real Encounters, Different Dimensions and Otherworldly Beings," and many more.  [Brad Steiger transitioned on May 6, 2018.] 

The number of sources for information on starseeds pulled up by google was overwhelming. There are so many differences and contradictions in the information.  I particularly discount stereotypical channeled information of any kind on any subject and much prefer information that a person knows is coming from/through his/her superconscious and higher selves. 

However, this little paragraph (source missed) caught my attention and seems like a good way to end this article: Although starseeds are born [or walk in] without the conscious memories of why they are on the earth plane, they may often have a subconscious knowledge of why they are here. One of the first goals of the starseed is to lift the veil of forgetfulness and remember their purpose. This purpose is often to complete a mission which usually involves helping humanity in some way or another.

PS:  You may be asking yourself why young starseeds were drawn to my presence in the park that day.  Well, young children (up to about age five) were drawn to my presence many times during the traveling angel years—some of them pointing at me and wanting to be held by me. I’ll leave the reasons why up to you the reader.
