I Am Not My Thoughts.
When your mind and heart are truly open abundance will flow to you effortlessly and easily.
Question:
The other day while meditating I came to the realization that I am not my thoughts or my beliefs but I am at my core pure awareness and that everyone else in the universe consists of that same pure awareness. This awareness however did not make me feel enlightened, instead I find myself wondering if creativity and unique expression can coexist within a universal consciousness. Is my existential crisis reaction to this awareness unusual? Is this just my ego struggling for survival?
Response:
Universal consciousness is the fountainhead of all creation, so the creative expression of diversity is not only compatible with pure consciousness, creativity requires it. I think you were contemplating the homogenous, monochromatic nature of unbounded awareness in its state of pure potentiality, not making the connection that every actual manifestation of creation implies that it existed in an unmanifest state of potentiality beforehand. This is like the creative thoughts and insights that arise from the silent state of awareness that is your source of thought. That silent core consciousness is beyond thought, yet it is the origin of all thought, feeling and creativity. Our individual creative expression is as limitless as the cosmos itself.

I feel Universal Consciousness is just that, Universal, and the manifestation of our potentiality is experienced much more readily when we rely on the simple yet most complicated practice of consistently bringing ourselves back to Awareness, and practice releasing everything into it. The more we consistently practice this, whether by using tools we have learned, or just simply using our thoughts to navigate our thoughts and feeling into Awareness, we will transform ourselves more readily, and with lasting results.

To say you are not your thoughts is to disregard your current living being You are your thoughts, and that is all you are, until you are able to transcend your mind to a space of which there is no thought, but which will be to a place you will not remember, as your memory is in your current being, of which you your memory Is what you are, and memory is thought. Awareness is thought of now, or past, or future. True enlightenment you will not remember, but you will be changed forever, and act so, as you are from the enlightenment, unaware of what was, but aware of what you are now.
