A New Consciousness is Emerging

– With the Touch of Your Soul

What is a touch of your Soul and how does it impact your life?

We are told by the writings of the Ageless Wisdom that from the moment of creation of humanity on this planet there was, in the mind of God, an overall plan of evolution.

Our Deepest Truths

It was part of the plan of God when in the creation story God said, “let us make man in our own image” (Genesis 1:26,) after our likeness. Biblical scholars and believers alike have often wondered who is “us”. Who is the “our” that God, as the creator, referred to?

To understand this passage in the creation story, there are many concepts that we must grasp that are beyond our everyday consciousness and awareness. Concepts about the nature of consciousness and thus the nature of reality.

Amazingly, the understandings of these truths have, throughout the eons of time, only been revealed as hints, such as in the above bible passage of Genesis.

The Universe is vast, much vaster than our human experience as a dweller on planet earth may be able fully to comprehend at this time. However, spiritual truths have been slowly revealed over time, often with the instruction to “ponder on this.”

Truths about our human experience as beings who are both material and spiritual are often difficult to fully grasp. This dual nature of our being, a material physical creature whose body dies, yet who is also an eternal being because it has an eternal Soul, is often perceived as a conundrum.

It is in understanding the incredible miracle of this dual nature of our being that the full power and potential of what it means to be a human being is revealed. Only man, and of course the version of the man with a womb (woman) are, of all of creation, created in the image of God.

With the breath of life came the creation of the eternal spark of consciousness that is the Soul. This spark of consciousness shares eternity with the creator. This is the mystery that is the deepest truth of awareness held in the human heart that is revealed only through love.

Not only are many of the most profound truths obscured by the teachings being held as secret. A quick scan of the known history of civilization shows that humanity has often not only rejected truths that contradict “consensus reality” but has put to death those who reveal truths before people are ready to hear and accept them.

There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy.
– Hamlet to Horatio in Hamlet (1.5.167-8) by William Shakespeare

A New Consciousness is Emerging Now

The timings of revelations require a certain level of consciousness to not only be accepted but more importantly to be understood. History has shown us that ideas have their own unique moment in time to be accepted by the collective consciousness of humanity.

Currently, I believe, a new consciousness is emerging at this very moment in human awareness.

This new consciousness, new awareness, and new understanding is just happening now, in this time of human evolution, revealing truths that have long been held beyond a veil waiting for humanity to be ready. Divine Love fuels that consciousness.

Awakening with A Touch of Your Soul

What reveals Divine Love is what I call “The touch of your Soul.” Your Soul is the divine spark that was breathed into your being the very moment you were conceived in the mind of God as a part of creation.

This awareness of the life of the Soul and the progressive revelation of the touch of the Soul is for the individual human personality life transforming. It creates a new consciousness and with it, new understandings.

This new consciousness goes by several names in the human adventure. The names are not important, the shift in consciousness is.

Among the modern descriptions of this new awareness are the words “awakening,” and “ascension.” These powerful words do reveal some of the truth of what humanity is now becoming able to be, what humanity is becoming able to understand about what are true essence is as human beings.

We are in a fantastic time in the revelation and evolution of human consciousness. It calls forth from the human experience new ways of understanding and, far more important, new ways of being.

I use the words “new ways of being” specifically because this step forward in the human consciousness adventure is more about “being” and “becoming” than it is about doing.

In the ongoing process of humanity learning to be and become what is emerging in this particular transition in understanding is a powerful transformation that will shift everything.

Part of this shift is “spiritual,” because it requires an expansion of awareness beyond the material expression of life. This expansion requires what I call “The touch of the Soul.” The touch of the soul, your Soul, is of paramount importance in this process because it is your Soul that takes on the mantel of being your teacher through the revelation of profound truths that you might well question if revealed from an external teacher.

The role of your Soul as your teacher ultimately results in the creation of this new kind of human being. This new revelation is a coming into fruition of what has always been true but is just now coming into expression.

Ponder the deeper meaning of the ancient Sanskrit greeting used throughout our planet, Namaste: “The Divinity in me recognizes and honors the Divinity in you.”

The Divinity in me in that phrase speaks to a deep yet often unfocused upon archetypal understanding that each and every human being is endowed by the Creator with a spark of Divine Light.

I often in my writings and teachings refer to that Divine spark as your Soul, and I encourage you to, through meditation, invite and invoke the power and the presence of your Soul to take on the duties of your teacher, the master, and guide that has been with you since the dawn of time and travels with you throughout all of eternity.

The emergence into consciousness of the Soul is what is different about what I am calling a new kind of human being. It is not really new since your spiritual anatomy has always had your Soul as a part of it. What is new is the active incorporation of the Soul into your life experience (ideally your everyday experience.)

The expanded conscious awareness that comes from the touch of your Soul is vast. If in your meditations, prayers or contemplations you have experienced this touch of your Soul certain revelations are consistent and profound.

The amazing thing is that the touch of your Soul puts you in touch with a reality that is beyond your normal awareness of body, mind, and emotions that are guided by your five physical sensory inputs. The touch of your Soul reveals a touch of Divine Love that opens and fills your heart to overflowing.

The touch of your Soul may reveal concepts and thoughts that bring clarity and solutions to life challenges you have never considered. You may experience a sense of expansion into an awareness of unity that transcends the sense of alienation that has so often plagued the human experience.

Whatever your personal awareness of your Soul, it will initiate and herald the start of being and becoming this new kind of human being that is emerging into the world.

This new emerging stage of humanity, whether we consider it an awakening, an evolution, or an assentation, requires a new kind of consciousness; a consciousness that integrates the realm of the Soul with the material realm. It requires a conscious that brings into manifestation a human being who is both in the world, but not exclusively of the world.

A merging, integration, and blending of the spiritual perspective of the Soul, with the reality of the human kingdom which is a world of substance and matter in a new way of considering and expressing life.

Over the eons of spiritual teaching parables, stories and analogies they have alluded to this Soul, Mind, Body merged perspective. Jesus’s discussions of the kingdom of heaven are an example that quickly comes to mind.

What is unique to this moment in the cosmic calendar is that with the touch of your Soul, the personality and ego are shown the possibility of being a citizen of the world while being aware and open to the prompting and direction of your Soul.

You can simultaneously be fully a human being with all of the “oh so human failures” and be a spiritual being, aligned with Divine Will and Divine purpose. You can explore your life challenges with this dual perspective of your human nature and your nature as a child of God who is concurrently the Son of Man.

This is a new manifestation of human consciousness and a new expression of spiritual consciousness in a more integrative and thus empowering way than has ever been possible before. It is an opportunity to be truly the being that the creation story of old said was created in “our” image. This is the being that provides the way the old sage words of the catechism can be answered.

Question 1: What is the chief end of man?

Answer: Man’s chief end is to glorify God, and to enjoy him forever.

It is in the realm of the Soul, the kingdom of Heaven and by the blending of the dual consciousness of your human life experience with your spiritual life experience that this becomes possible.

What makes this transition from a human, being limited to the physical, emotional and mental material perspective, to the expanded awareness of the spiritual consciousness is the touch of the Soul.

The touch of the Soul connects you to Divine Love, which is unconditional in nature and transformative. The touch of the Soul grants an eternal perspective which shifts your perception from the temporal to timelessness, a shift that grants awareness of the eternal now.

I invite and encourage you to call upon your own Soul to touch your life in this transformative way. I invite and urge you to call upon your own Soul to be your teacher and your guide in your life adventure. See the related posts listed below for more on this subject.

You are a miracle of Divine Light, created by Divine Love and infused with Divine Wisdom to be a Soul having a human experience, right here and right now on planet earth.
– Genevieve Gerard

This union of consciousness that you are, and always were created to be, is available to you through the relationship that can begin with the touch of the Soul.

Namaste,

Genevieve

The Soul Connection

Soul Connection

by Genevieve Gerard

Connecting to the Soul is the most profound and transformative part of the meditative experience.

It is through the connection of the personality, the lower self, to the energy of the Soul, the Higher Self, that we are able to experience that within us which is eternal.

It is our Soul that contains the Divine spark. By connecting to our Soul we are granted a glimpse into an awareness of our oneness with all of creation. It is through our Soul that we are receptive to the Divine.

Through the practice of meditation, when the mind is quieted and the emotions are calmed the Soul shines forth in all of its glory.”

– Genevieve Gerard

It is through the connection to the Soul that we are granted the insight into the moment that brings relief and release from life’s burdens.

Through meditation, as we connect to the Soul we are bringing ourselves into union with our Higher Self that we may experience wholeness. This unified self opens more and more to the Light, like the petals of a lotus allowing more and more awareness to flow into our life. The union with the Soul gives us an awareness of the Self that is greater and wiser than we are able to experience when focused upon our personality and personal needs and desires.

By meditating regularly to come into union with the Soul we find our perspective changing. We begin to see alternative interpretations of the events of our life. This begins slowly, and initially can only be experienced in the meditative state, but in a regular relationship with the Soul the awareness of those brief moments of connection to the Divine begins to expand and give us new insights and understandings throughout the day.

Through the process of systematically learning to quiet the mind and calm the emotions you change your life by reducing stress. Confidence in your ability to be in control of your body, mind and emotions translates into confidence to be in more control of your life.

Each time you make the conscious decision to meditate you are creating the opportunity for your lower self to gain a greater understanding of life. Just the process of quieting the mind and calming the emotions is its own reward.

When you add the connection to the Soul, the experience of meditation can expand into a receptivity that increases your understanding of your self and your life. The more regularly the connection with the Soul is experienced, the more the insights and wisdom of the Higher Self become available to you. The sense of being centered and the sense of calm confidence make their way into your daily life.

As you build and reinforce the pathway of connection to the Soul it becomes increasingly easy to touch the Light of the Soul as you go through your daily life. This touch of Soul contact helps you gain a different understanding and more profound awareness. Over time, as the connection is reinforced and strengthened you find that your life is freed more and more from the lure of negative emotions, and the experience of peace and joy will pervade your being.

Love Yourself

Learning To Love Yourself

— Self-Love from the well that is always full

This post is a part of my ongoing series on Love.

Many paths of spiritual teachings and self-help books speak of the importance of loving ourselves.

It is a common psychological truth that most people are much harder on themselves than they are of others.

Indeed, loving ourselves is often described as a prerequisite for learning to love others.

Although many teachers instruct us to love ourselves and stress the importance of learning to do this, to those who carry within them the pain of guilt, self-recrimination, self-doubt, and lack of self-esteem, this may seem to be an impossible task.

Love who you are, embrace who you are. Love yourself. When you love yourself, people can kind of pick up on that: they can see confidence, they can see self-esteem, and naturally, people gravitate towards you.
– Lilly Singh

Three Key Elements of Learning To Love Yourself

There are three key elements of learning to love yourself that are often left untouched and unexpressed that are of paramount importance.

Be Gentle With Yourself

One is to be gentle with yourself. Look over your life, your weaknesses and failures with compassion. You are not perfect and more important you are not expected or needed to be perfect to love yourself.

Anyone who told you that you need to be perfect to receive love did not know how to love and set you up to fail. Love does not require perfection. Love is available to hold you, to nurture you, and heal you exactly the way you are.

Forgive Yourself

Two is to forgive yourself. Of course, you have made mistakes in your life. That is a part of the human experience. It is how we learn and how we grow.

Past mistakes have nothing to do with the present. They are in the past. You need not carry them into the present.

As you forgive yourself you can tuck them neatly into the past where they belong. Let whatever residuals of self-blame and guilt you may have been clinging to go. They no longer serve you and have no place in your present life.

Look to the Source of Love

Third is to look to the source of love that is a bottomless well that is always filled to overflowing (your Soul.) It is through touching your Soul and bringing forth the love that is always there for you into your consciousness, into your being, that you are flooded with love and filled with resounding joy.

You have within you a Source of self-love that when you become aware of it is unconditional and profound because it understands all of the motives and misunderstanding that created the mistakes or life lessons you have Learned.

Your Soul has been with you since the beginning of time. It knows you completely and accepts and loves you without condition. It is available for you to access whenever you call upon it, whenever you need it.

Your Soul needs nothing from you, expects nothing from you and requires nothing from you and it rejoices in the opportunity to fill you with the love it bears for you, to fill you with the resounding joy that spontaneously arises from the touch of the Soul.
– Genevieve Gerard

From the consciousness of your Soul awareness, forgiveness, Grace, and compassion are available to you. Part of demonstrating that you have learned a lesson in life is letting that lesson be in your past and then, through self-forgiveness and compassion letting it go. Your future is not determined by a past mistake. Your future lies before you unwritten and unformed. It is filled with new possibilities and potential you have not yet had available.

How To Connect

Meditation techniques, visualization, and mantra’s are all available to help you reach for contact with your Soul. This union of Soul and Personality, this oneness with your Source of self-love is the natural state of your being, even if you have never attempted to reach that source before this very moment of time.

In reaching out to touch your Soul you need only be open to receiving the wellspring of Love and Joy that is there to give you all the love your heart can hold, all the joy you have ever imagined.

To be receptive to the experience of the love and the joy of consciously connecting with your Soul, here is a simple meditation to help and support you.

Soul Contact Meditation

If you are ready to open yourself to this possibility, experience this brief Soul contact meditation visualization:

Calm your mind, open your heart, invite the Light.

Sit quietly, open and expectantly and focus your attention on your breath. Observe the natural rising and falling of your breath as you take from life exactly what you need and let go of exactly what no longer serves you. Sit up with your spine aligned. As you breathe let yourself calm your mind and let your attention focus on being right here, right now, totally present in this moment of time.

Be here NOW and open yourself to being aware of your Soul.

Form the intention to touch your Soul, and allow yourself to be open and ready to receive all the love that resides for you in your Soul.

Now visualize or imagine a radiant point of Light about 3 feet above your head. Identify that Light with the Light of your Soul. At the top of your head visualize (or imagine) a fully opened lotus flower. From the radiant point of Light above your head see a golden Light descending, like the Sun nurturing a flower.

Bring that Golden light down into the top of your head and allow it to gently flow down to your heart. Let your heart fill with just the right amount of the Light of your Soul and the Love of your Soul.

Remain open and receptive for as long as feels comfortable to you. Let the love of your Soul for you wash over you. You may be filled with resounding joy or deep profound peace. Whatever you experience is there for you, freely, whenever you want to experience this union of yourself, with yourself.

When you have received from this connection all that you wish or need, return your attention to your breath, noticing the natural rise and fall of the breath and become aware of the world around you.

As you open your eyes and prepare to return to the call of the world, you may notice that you are filled with a love, a joy and a peace that passes understanding. Take that with you out into the world and give that to the world in gratitude for the blessing you have received from the Touch of your Soul.

– GG

By taking this brief time to consciously connect with the Love, the power, and the wisdom of your Soul you are declaring your willingness and intention to be and become all that you are as a human being. You are opening to not only being who and what you are as a human being, but a unique blend of a material human being and a Spark of Divine Light that is the hope of humanity.

As a blended being of Soul and substance you can love and express yourself as the imperfect being of humanity, a being that moves through life learning and growing through all of life’s adventure.

As you learn to love yourself you are exploring and manifesting the purpose of life which is demonstrated by learning how to love, how to forgive, and how to merge what is eternal and empowered, with what is material and temporal. Learning to Love is the most important part of life, and learning to love yourself is an integral part of that process.

Namaste,

Genevieve
