This dimension

Posted on by philipdodson

Ask yourself right now ‘am I breathing?’, touch your face and feel your own skin, sit with your eyes closed and say ‘how do I know I still have an arm or a leg?’ and then feel the energy within your body and realise you do still have an arm and a leg.

We are not our thoughts, we are much more than that. We are life not having a life.

Then once we realise these things like we are breathing, we are alive, we have a body full of energy. Then notice that it is the real you, your soul and essence, that hears the noise, hears the thoughts, sees the image, feels the touch, experiences everything. That is the real you and it senses your consciousness too. Our so-called ‘normal’ existence consists of a concept existence, driven by the endless repetitive thought patterns of our mind.

When we become aware of this conscious dimension, beyond thought, then we realise that the real you and me, this ball of energy, this essence, this soul…it’s indestructible and safe, within us is the vast eternal space consciousness. We are at one with all that is, we are the universe, we are the creator, we are life, we are beyond our body and mind.

We then do not need to be attached to the fear of our mind, we can simply allow our love to flow, we can allow our light to shine, we can be authentically our true being and essence…then all there is, is peace, joy, love and gratitude. We can then connect with the true essence and souls of others free of the violence of the filters and judgements of the mind.

This dimension is freely available to every living soul, right now and always. That’s not a sales pitch for my new course on ‘how to be conscious’, it is merely a reminder of a choice we can all make, every single moment.

Just be

When we behave externally and internally as if we are enlightened, and start to become that persona, we are, in fact, not enlightened, we just have a different story, but we are still ruled by the ego. We are still not our true self, we are now this ‘enlightened’ story.

If we have to act out a role, behave according to a conditioned and societal role, then we are associated with the mind and thus a contradiction to an enlightened soul.

Being truly our soul and essence within and in the exterior world is a challenge, however, we will not achieve it by telling ourselves and the world that we are so zen.

Peace within comes when we can simply just be and do not need to act, show, tell or announce it to ourselves and the world.
