Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery;
None but ourselves can free our minds.
~Bob Marley
The Supreme Consciousness, the All That Is, which is unmanifest Source Energy, is made manifest in the Self, what many call the Super-Consciousness. From the same Self come the many, in all aspects of creation, in the mineral, plant, and animal kingdoms on the physical plane, as well as non-physical beings, such as the Archangels and the Devas.
As the beings of highest frequency, in this dimension, we humans are best suited, at our stage of evolution, both spiritually and physically, to carry the Vibration of Self, which manifests in each as the individual Soul.
The minerals, plants and animals are all evolving toward a higher vibrational expression, as are we, each ultimately merging back into Source Energy. With each incarnation, we are given the opportunity to raise our vibration, by choosing to do the effortful work of balancing our karma, purifying the physical, mental, emotional and energetic bodies of lower vibrational frequencies that keep us bound to the karmic wheel of rebirth.
This work requires focus, discipline, patience, perseverance, and compassion for ourselves and others, as we are all progressing at the perfect rate for our own soul’s evolutionary trajectory.
As we recognize that we always make choices based on the consciousness we have at that moment, we realize we could not have made a different choice other than the one we made, because it arose out of a particular state of consciousness.
We may have a different, perhaps more evolved, consciousness now, so we can see different options from this vantage point that were not completely available to us at the time, even if we were aware of them. They were beyond our reach mentally or emotionally, so we could not implement them.
We do not fault a kindergartener for not knowing calculus. The child's mind has limited awareness regarding numbers, how they function and the many ways they can be implemented to explain more abstract concepts. Eventually, the child's consciousness may evolve to a point where it may grasp higher math, and then put that new understanding into practice, in some way, but the evolution must be allowed to unfold gradually, each year integrating more complex concepts.
We must allow ourselves this same latitude and compassion with our own evolutionary process. We must Love ourselves unconditionally. Everything we have ever done was necessary to our growth and expansion. Our healing begins when we are able to acknowledge, accept, and embrace ALL of it.
