CREON NOTES - May 2021

One of the problems humans face in the current age is the mass of information and communication possibilities that are presented to you. It has led you to live a mind-based life where thought is concentrated and accelerated and, unless you make a determined effort to focus on stillness, you find yourselves overrun with linear mental activity. This is not a healthy way to live as the more you are dominated by your thinking, the less connected you become to your body and your internal spirit.

Thought has energy and is mostly connected to emotion. What you think and feel will affect your vibratory rate as you live in a vibrational world. Everything is energy at its core although the human eye will regard only solid matter and emotional experience as real. You are surrounded by a world that is invisible to the naked eye as it exists beyond visible light and is therefore discounted. Do not underestimate the power of thought, which you consider to be private but is actually transparent to us who can perceive beyond visible light.

The place of stillness is that which is achieved by practitioners of yoga and meditation but can be experienced by anyone at any time. It is a place of calm and quietude where a sense of wholeness is felt. The more you are able to dwell here the more conscious you become of your true nature and the greater the sense of pure awareness expands.

If you ask yourself the question “Who Am I?” you might feel perplexed and believe that you are the sum total of your experience, qualities, knowledge and physical body. But this is not the case, these things are your attributes, and your personal expressions, but they are not the core of who you are. To help you understand what this is think back over your life and the many situations and experiences you have had. Understand that, because you have a memory of all these moments, there was a witness to them that recorded them and can produce the recordings as you experienced them at the time. Who you truly are is the witness, the observer who was and is still aware that these times took place. As you go through your life you continue to observe and record what is happening each day. Much of it you may not remember but mostly those moments when you were truly present will remain strong in your memory,

Too often people claim to not remember things and this is because those events were dominated by the mind and its habitual thinking thus the power of the Self, the observer, is occluded.

It is the same with the dream state – who is the witness of the dream that wakes in the morning to remember them? It is that which witnesses, the continuum that joins every moment together despite the changing scene of each moment. It is not the scene itself, or the momentary events of the life. The more able you are to withdraw from the addiction of mental activity, the more you are able to dwell in this state of witnessing with all the benefits it endows.

Humans live in a culture which increasingly focusses on the mind and causes a separation to exist between that and the rest of you. The way you think is very largely a result of your training and the cultural influences of the world around you. Remember this: the mind does not know, it judges and creates reactions but it does not know. The mind should be used to support and express the functions of the soul, not to obliterate its presence. You need your mind in order to live but when it is not being employed in a useful way it should be quiet. It requires intention on your part to achieve this but this is not difficult to accomplish. When the mind is quiet and not distracted, awareness arises and the sense of love and wholeness that you truly are can be experienced more fully. In a heightened state of awareness real knowledge and understanding can come to you and this is when you make your best choices and decisions. It is in a state of awareness that you can be aware of things beyond the realm of your personal daily life and where you can hear the gentle guidance of the Spirit and receive its comfort. When the mind is absorbed in a task at hand it can work more efficiently without reacting to distraction or other stimuli.

You are the observer of your life – a field of infinite awareness that is never separated from the Source.

The troubles of the collective world are many. Don’t be afraid to investigate the source of these troubles and examine every angle, but keep an open mind. You cannot know all the details but the mind in its frantic state will leap to judgements and opinions because this is what it does, until it is retrained to do it another way. In a state of quiet awareness and from the point of view of the observer, ask for clarification and direction and this will be given, not always immediately but at a time when you can hear it.

Humans need to come together, as never before, in a communal state of awareness, to understand why things are as they are and how they can be remedied. You are all granted the gift of free will and have enormous power but to realise this you must first examine the conditioning of your mind and decide what is valid and what is not. You cannot heal the problems of the mind using the mind; you must take a step back and look at everything from the viewpoint of the observer, which is who you truly are. It is from this position that deep understanding arises and from which you can see more clearly without the emotional reaction and mental clattering that occurs without it. Take time to ponder, for wisdom will come to you in whatever direction you seek it. The human being is capable of so much more than it is able or indeed allowed, to express and the gateway through which to see this is the understanding that, despite the restrictions of physical form and life, who you are is an eternal point of limitless awareness.

This is the point of eternal joy, wisdom and love. Go there often and relish the experience of the true Self.
