Remembering Oneness

A while back, I asked every one of my spiritually-focused friends, "How can I increase my conscious awareness of the truth of who I am?" No one had any idea. Most didn't even understand the question. Then I remembered that while we share this journey each of us walks our own path. The truth is within each of us, according to what we are to do with it. My passion and purpose lies in remembering the truth of who and what I am and living with that conscious awareness. I share each step of my journey to help anyone else who feels the need to remember.

Sometimes the answers we seek are so simple that we miss them. That was the case for me on this one for a while. As soon as I asked the question, I began to live the answer. It began with a choice, a choice to do whatever it takes to remember the truth. I understand that this dualistic reality is in fact an illusion of the mind, albeit a persistent one. The illusion serves the purpose of knowing all that we are through experience. However, I have long felt absolutely compelled to gain conscious awareness of the truth while yet living in the illusion. "Be in the world, but not of it."

I believe that we are creators becoming conscious of the act of creating. Most of the time we create from fear, a belief in lack, and from separation. The results are not what most of us choose to experience any more. How can we change that? By becoming conscious of who we are. When we know, in experience, that we are one, that all is one, we have nothing to fear. There is no lack in oneness, and no separation. In oneness, there is perfect peace, boundless joy, and absolute love. I know this without doubt because I have experienced it twice in my life, once when I died and returned and once during a profound meditation. But how do we live with that awareness?

First, we have to choose it. Then we intend to experience it. Then we give thanks that it is done. If you are reading this post, you have some memory of oneness. If you didn't, you would not have found it. There is something in the core of your being reaching for remembering. No matter how much or how little you know for sure about oneness, part of you remembers. Give thanks for that. Your attention to it and gratitude for it is affirming that you can consciously experience your truth.

I use affirmations that I repeat to myself whenever I'm not in conversation or focused on a mental task. "I remember the truth of who and what I am. I remember oneness." This simple statement is helping me more than I can explain in one post. I am more peaceful, confident, relaxed, and inspired. My health has improved tremendously and continues to do so every day. My life is becoming more and more graceful and all my relationships healthier. The only thing it hasn't helped me with is my Geology labs! :(

The more of us remember oneness and begin living according to this awareness, the less conflict we will see in the world, the less lack and disease. We have an impact on the Earth and humanity as a whole by our thoughts and emotional states. Our individual awareness of oneness supports everyone's remembering. Your healing is everyone's healing. Remember who and what you are. I remember you!
