A New Definition of God

A New Definition of God ©2017 Joan M. Newcomb, CPC

I’m not that familiar with non-monotheistic religions, but the stories all have examples of Godly abilities and human frailties. They tend to place their Gods remotely, up in the sky or down below in the underworld. There are differing interactions with humans, and it seems to me extreme power struggles.

I’m more familiar with Christianity from a mystical perspective. If you broadly look at the Old Testament, God was this jealous, vengeful and angry guy way up in the sky, who threw frogs and plagues at them. He demanded sacrifices, whether goats or first born sons. People were like ants compared to God.

New Testament God was parental, compassionate, loving. You could have a conversation with “Him”.  It was a new definition of God that was very radical. Even today, people confuse the two.

This new definition came at a radical, evolutionary shift in Consciousness. And we‘re at another shift yet again.

There’s a new definition of God emerging, and from our antiquated viewpoint, we describe it as God within. An Inner Being.

I invite you to a different perspective of all of this.

Think of this world as a marvellous creation of Consciousness. It’s a manifestation experiment that played with different forms to physically embody. Dinosaurs were the beta version, they didn’t quite work out.

(Now, Consciousness creates all of this, thus Consciousness is in all of this. But each form provides a different experience and comprehension)

If you shift your perspective to that of Consciousness, that is, *you* are Consciousness, you can see the evolution simply being You coming more into form.

As Consciousness, you've been tweaking with the form design since before dinosaurs, fine tuning it to fit into.

What we are experiencing now is greater Consciousness coming into form, a higher vibration embodying the density of the physical, Our bodies have been redesigned to accept this increased energy. When a higher frequency comes into form, denser aspects disintegrate. We’re seeing this as egoic states breaking down.

Egoic states don’t like this. They think of themselves as separate entities. They don’t wanna disintegrate. Their existence is threatened.

The personality level views things in black and white terms. It interprets things as life and death issues. It doesn't see this evolution as a good thing. It sees it as an invasion, an assimilation.

As Consciousness, it’s exciting. It’s a birth into a new collective form. When you shift your perspective to You as Consciousness coming into form more, you feel joyous and happy.

All it requires is adjusting your perspective and the rest will come. Notice in the moment if you’re viewing your life as if things are happening to you, or as if You are creating all of it as Consciousness.

At first it may seem difficult, because you’re changing your habitual thinking. But it quickly creates a profound paradigm shift.

There's no confusion from this viewpoint. There’s only love, emanating inward and around, and outward. And that love is You.

Mastering the new Consciousness.

We have already shifted to a new level of Consciousness, it's just that not all of our bodies and personalities have come up to speed.

For one thing, reality looks the same. For another thing, reality feels completely different.

And in this new reality, many old paradigms no longer work.

Like when you upgrade your operating system, you have to upgrade much of your software.

In fact, most of the old ways of operating are now defunct. You can't apply the old rules of power in this new reality. Your energetic engine has changed. Gasoline doesn't work in your Tesla.

Your ego may value being an expert. It may value being the know it all, having all the answers, being better than and smarter than.

Yet in this new Consciousness, approaching things with a bigger's mind is far more powerful. All the answers are available to you, you just don't have to carry it around in your hard drive any more.

Power looks different as Consciousness. It's inner power. It has clarity and a sense of well being.

There isn't any competitive energy, because there's the awareness that *everyone* is whole, capable, and Conscious.

Everyone, at their core, is Consciousness. Everyone is equally powerful. As we each grow in this awareness, there is more interconnectedness. There's more teamwork. There's networking. There's interdependence and independence at the same time.

Having more stuff doesn't carry any weight in this new awareness. In fact, heaviness has no place here. There's no density nor effort.

At some point of development, manifestation becomes instantaneous. And, the urge to manifest, the urgency, is gone. It's all about creativity. This world is a fun playground.

Conscious evolution happens in waves, there's always individuals on the leading edge, bringing new information into form.

If you're reading this, you're one of them. You wouldn't be drawn to this article if you weren't.

While the rest are coming up to speed, it may feel lonely at first. It may feel like people don't understand you or where you are at. That's just the old patterns playing out, dissipating.

If you notice anything that "makes you feel" frustrated, powerful, reactive, rebellious, resentful, resistant - you are bumping up against old paradigm patterns.

Nothing is more powerful than You. That becomes apparent when you shift your perspective to seeing yourself *as* Consciousness, creating your reality, through this physical form, in this hologram, this game called life on this playground called earth.

You don't have to go out there to change, fix or manipulate anything. As you navigate as Consciousness, reality starts to reorganize around you.

That doesn't mean you can't choose to respond to what is showing up in your reality. Maybe you feel like making a phone call and expressing your views or requesting an action. Maybe you feel like going out to stand or walk with people who share your interests.

But you're coming from an empowered space, and responding to what is. It feels different to engage in the world this way.

Mastering the new Consciousness means acquiring proficiency with the new skills of navigating reality that is manifesting with a higher vibrational frequency than we've ever experienced before.

Really, it's Consciousness mastering the new physical reality.

We're going from wading at the bottom of the ocean, where our bodies felt like deep sea divers suits, to not-quite-astronauts in zero gravity on the space station. In zero gravity, force propels things away from you, or you away from what you're going for. It's a more subtle way of moving through the world.

As you move through your world this week, notice what is different. Take the time to shift your awareness and view things differently. Make different choices and responses.

Try this for the next seven days, and see how your life transforms!

Nobody's Ascending Anywhere

Nobody's Ascending Anywhere ©2015 Joan M. Newcomb

One of my readers asked me some great questions "what's going on vis-a-vis the overall evolution of mankind. Are some" developed" people going to ascend by 2024?  2014 has passed and we're still here."

I answered this in a recent Mystic Minute Video, and wanted to spell it out more clearly here: ain't nobody ascending anywhere.

Yes, we talk about an acceleration in Consciousness. We talk about the vibration rising, getting more sensitive and Aware.  But the impression is that at some point we'll become so advanced, we'll just vibrate out of our bodies and disappear into the 5th Dimension.

That's how it feels to our bodies and from our personality's perspective.  We can't imagine existing at a higher vibration, we can't comprehend anything but 3-D.

Consciousness is already 5D. Consciousness is beyond the hologram, outside of D altogether. Even D is part of the illusion.

Consciousness embodies reality but is outside of it as well.  In Consciousness, there is no time or space, everything is happening at once.

So whenever we try to put things into linear measurements, it's our personality trying to figure it out. Oh, I must be going up in vibration (no, Consciousness is coming more into form).  Oh, I must be ascending, I must be developing more (no, you're just experiencing yourself AS Consciousness more, and as Consciousness you're infinite, beyond levels of development).

Back before 2012 they said some people weren't going to make it. They imagined mass destruction. All limited and undeveloped people would die.  And, dangit, the politicians and religious fanatics are still here.

Although, if you notice, they're all going more crazy than before. That's because their old paradigms and rigid belief systems are disintegrating and it's freaking them out.

And, guess what, they're Consciousness, too.

To our bodies, and our personalities, it feels like things are going faster. Time progresses that way, to form.  But past, present, and future, is all happening simultaneously to Consciousness.

The best way to handle this it to be in present time, in the NOW. You're body feels calmer when focused on the present moment. When you do that, things feel like they're slowing down.

Play with this all - viewing life from Consciousness, being Present, for the next seven days and see what happens!

Being Bigger

Being Bigger ©2014 Joan M. Newcomb

We are in a time of expansion, and we are all being called to be bigger.  That means, greater than our problems, larger than our labels, more than what we think of ourselves to be.

The other day I had a profound revelation.  My original metaphysical training taught that we are Spirit in a body.  The focus was on grounding the body so it could handle Your higher vibration.  Like electricity running through a lamp.

That alone seems enormous.  That as Spirit we are infinite, all knowing, and we're squeezing into this itty bitty body of density and effort.  And outside the body radiates our aura.  So it comes from the inside and radiates out from it.

Now, over time, I've evolved to greater awarenesses about this.  For instance, this isn't your only lifetime just as this isn't your only body.  As Consciousness there is no time or space, so all of your lifetimes are happening at once.

I also see that body isn't separate from Spirit.  It's a spectrum of vibration, with Consciousness being the most expansive and diffuse, focusing into body being the most dense and concentrated.

Then I heard, 'we are a being with a body inside'.

Think about it.  WE are a BEING with a body INSIDE.  Imagine your awareness expanding around your body.  YOU are the energy, and within you have created a denser form.

It's shifted the perspective from up and down (Spirit is up, coming down into body), or in and out (you're in your body or out of your body).   You don't have to squeeze yourself into form, you are not just inhabiting the body,  you encompass it.

You can perceive from within it, as in viewing out from the eyes, feeling from within the form, but you can also perceive the edges of your aura or energy field.

It's not that you are everything and everything is you, even though at the most expanded sense of Consciousness you are.  I am noticing definitions - for instance, I will feel the emotional state of someone else 3,000 or 9,000 miles away (and this will be verified by their email or facebook post).  I am not in their reality, but am feeling their reaction to what's going on for them.

How does this change of perspective change things? I'm noticing things show up in my experience having a greater connection to themes I'm dealing with.  The German Shepherd next store will lunge over the fence when I'm processing issues around boundaries, anger, aggression. An ambulance will show up for the elderly lady down the street right after a discussion with my husband about our mothers dying.  Nothing is random any more, it only appears because there is a connection, because something is clearing.

What would it be life for you if you were bigger than your problems?  How would it feel if you were the most powerful person inside your reality?  If anything you ever needed to know could be accessed from your own inner wisdom?

This is what it is like to navigate life from the perspective of You as Consciousness.  Let these questions float along with you this week, and try this subtle shift of awareness, and see what happens!
