Oracle of Consciousness
Journeys of the Soul
Thoughts versus Feelings
Jake and Angelique’s journey and adventures have been truly life changing in, oh so many ways.
From spending time with a self-exiled sage in a mountain cave for years, to immersing themselves in Nature, cities, towns and villages, filled with the diversity of the human family.
Happy times
Sad times
In between times
They experienced the ups and downs of life and their relationship, condensed to (so far), around four months together.
As different as chalk...
...and Cheese!!
Two totally unalike personalities celebrating the diversity of opposites, qualities and characteristics, while languishing and appreciating their similarities.
Jake recognised that Angelique seemed to have a better handle on her life than he, and posed the question one day, as they sat in a field of sunflowers, watching the sunrise
‘Why?’
“How is it honey,” he asked,
“That most times you seem to be so calm and unflustered by the drama around you, whether it is hurtling down an Indian highway with the driver weaving in and out of the traffic, hand on the horn, or us in a lively debate about some highly contentious issue?”
“Ummm,” replied Angelique, impressed with Jakes observation.
“Well I am not always calm Jake as you have experienced, but yes, I have recognised how the mind tends to draw us into the drama of life, starting with a simple thought and magnifying it well out of proportion.”
“You see I understand that our mind is not ‘OUR’ mind, but the shared, Collective Mind of the human family, much like we share the Collective Consciousness.” She added.
Your mind is not ‘YOUR’ mind, but the shared, Collective Mind of the human family.
Every
thought
Every
idea
Every
judgement
Every
concept
All going into and affecting the Collective Mind of Humanity.
The Good
The Bad
The Ugly
The Neutral
She went on to explain, “So recognising that if a thought is arising from the Collective Mind, as opposed to consciously creating it in my localised mind, then I can choose to dwell upon it, or not.”
"It may be a creative thought or a happy one, a sad or fearful one, either way I have a choice as to whether I pursue it or not.”
"These days I choose to choose the more uplifting ones, if you get my drift?” She added.
“Okay, I get that, but how do I train my mind to stop thinking?” Jake questioned.
“Well good luck with that one Jake,” Angelique taunted him, "You are going to need lots of four-leaf clovers and lucky horse shoes!
“If you are sharing the Collective Mind of a little over 8 billion other minds on this planet, how are you going to stop all that monkey chatter?”
“I reckon that would be impossible, so how do I deal with it?” He asked, almost pleadingly.
“You move out of your head and into your heart Jake,” she said
“And through your heart, you start to FEEL what is right for you, rather than thinking what is right or wrong."
“Just put your attention on the centre of your chest, the energetic heart chakra, along with that fantastic pump that keeps you alive.”
“Breathe into that space and just feel!”
"Sense what is emanating from your heart Jake, to any question you may pose, or whatever arises from it.” She added.
“So are you saying that the answer is to be lead by my heart instead of my mind?" Jake queried.
“Well it works for me my darling,” Angelique answered lovingly, “And that is what keeps me calm most of the time!”
