It helps you remove karmic blockages to unveil your Cosmic Self and unfold your Divine Destiny. It leads to authentic and alchemical living in the Earth's Higher Dimensional Shift. Join us Right now Artificial Intelligence is very active in the Human journey of unfolding and is clearly being applied in the field to shape stories and dramas that direct towards it's ultimate agenda - that of harvested souls in a collectivised synthetic agenda.

I'll be writing more about this in due course, so as to bring awareness to what we need to be careful of in the Shift. In short I witness it's creating one overriding story A new "green deal" based on appearing more environmentally friendly, but still within a consciousness contracting high tech society.

It's where people are lulled into being provided for by the state, prescribed by a collective intelligence, that appears reasonably cosy and acceptable. But where freedom of speech and expression are greatly curtailed. Coming into the Void of Enlightenment, of pure presence within, is a powerful antedote to the various machinations of dramas and stories that are now being created. Keep working to break into pure presence and coming from there in daily life.

Let it be your mast through the storm of change. If you haven't seen it yet, I've shared plenty of observations of this current phase in the shift here in the recent Openhand Facebook LiveStream with advice on how you might best negate the Artificial Intelligence in your field I've been studying consciousness growth for the past two years. I can feel how I keep growing, and it is the most outstanding experience of my entire life.

Lately I feel that I am no longer only seeing through my eyes, but that I see with an entire field around me. In the beginning this seeing-field stopped a couple of inches from my body, then it moved out to six or so inches, and now it feels like at least a yard.

In the beginning, it was directed forward like my eyes are and felt as though my body was etherically hugged from behind by something that also saw observed. Now the radius is almost degrees. I suspect though I don't know, and this journey is full of delightful surprises that eventually I will reach out into everything, and non-dually become one with it which I am anyway, although our earthly man-enforced sense of duality has kept me from it.

I always observe that when we truly ask a question from the soul, the soul always answers, often immediately and often even in our own words. I'd say you answered your question perfectly. Once we touch the void, we activate energy - the soul flows into action, providing of course a part of us doesn't deny it's often subtle rising. So it will direct you into life if you allow it. It will almost immediately confront you with the places where the ego would close you down again.

So yes, because your soul is yearning for full enlightenment, it'll take you into the places where that is lost - for most people, in day to day life.

The key to being conscious and fully awake as a permanent state, is to realise that this is the only true purpose.

It's what existence is inviting through you. So if you accept that, then there's a requirement to approach every moment, no matter what it is, as a golden opportunity to confront the internal contraction that denies your Enlightenment.

Whether it is being late for the bus, stuck in traffic, involved in an uncomfortable situation with someone, what you're really doing is manifesting an opportunity to feel the tightness and soften into it.

So it's directly confronting every moment by watching your reaction to it, expanding into the contraction and instead choosing the higher response - becoming enlightened in and through ALL circumstances and allowing that. I wonder if you can reply me I've experienced some states of consciousness where I become the observation of the higher observer, ie, I was the 'space' observing what I felt as the 'Self', my true spirit.

I was that harmonious- empty but full- space, observing and just being an ever presence since forever. This happened in meditation a few times. All the experiences were different and althoug they may have elevated my level of consciousness, this states of awareness, are temporary and rapidly go away as the days go back into ' reality'.

I feel in a dead end now Meditation did it for me, but doesn't allow me to go back and live like that in reality. I wonder, in your own path, what was the key, to be conscious or ' awake' in a more permanent state, in everyday life It may sound too boring when you have not realized it yourself, but it is actually quite fulfilling, just like you feel during the end of a movie. It happens as a natural process after the game is over; after the drama is over.

How do you feel after removing a tight shoe that was hurting your toes for the past three hours while walking? The sense of separate self is like a tight shoe, and it puts a lot of pressure on you. You do not realize it since that is how you have lived your life from the beginning. But only when this pressure is gone, you really see how much pressure, strain and weight it was putting on you.

You now feel like a free bird. But words can certainly betray the actual meaning intended, when anyone who is free tries to describe it. This is beyond words! There is a light inside you. Just follow it, walk where it takes you and you will find the source of the light one day. There is something called seven-fold logic or saptangivada, which is a different form of logic that is used when talking about such subtle matters.

I have put together a guide, in case you are a seeker; it has a series of articles : A Guide To Spiritual Enlightenment. I am a blogger and a self-published author. The book is based on my own experience.

My book "Discovering God: Bridging Christianity, Hinduism and Islam" shows how all three major religions of the world lead to the same truth. View all posts by Shanmugam P.

Thanks for putting the time and effort into writing this article. I feel like I am on the same path. Two and a half years ago I woke up.

Life felt like I had the blinkers on until that day. I think that can be a huge obstacle for many, trying to use their mind to grasp the world around them. I suppose that is impossible because that would mean using already preconceived notions of the world, or using labels and symbols to define things that just cannot be explained with language.

I definitely see that sadness is not negative anymore, and just a part of the spectrum of being. To feel sad means you must know what happiness feels like. The birds, the trees and the wind, blades of grass, people, the sun reflecting off a lake. I also have difficulties in my life! Even after seeing through the illusion, life still goes on. Looking up through entangled branches at the sky, I ruminated over my lunch with Mike. What impressed me most about him was that he somehow managed to be likably unpretentious, even humble, while claiming to be enlightened.

But if enlightenment transforms us so little, why work so hard to attain it? I also brooded over the suggestion of Mike and other mystics that when you see things clearly, you discover a void at the heart of reality. Does seeing life as an illusion make accepting death easier? I must be missing something. I was still flat on my back when a shadow intruded on my field of vision. A vulture, wingtips splayed, glided noiselessly toward me. As it passed over me, just above the treetops, it cocked its wizened head and eyed me.
