The Nature and Effects of Consciousness

Part 1 of a Message from The Lord of Consciousness

Given through Mercedes Kirkel on August 13, 2012

 

Blessings dear ones. I am the Lord of Consciousness. I have many names and I take many forms. You may call me by whatever is most comfortable for you. Perhaps you would call me the Divine Masculine. That is a name I am happy to use, if it is meaningful to you.

 

I am the force of consciousness. This is a principle that is starting to be understood more and that is a very good thing. Still, it is somewhat challenging for many to have a sense of what consciousness is. What is this consciousness?

 

In some ways it is easier to talk about what it is not. It is not the same as your thinking or your mind. Yet there is a relationship between consciousness and your mind. It is not the same as your world. Yet there is a relationship between consciousness and your world.

 

In some ways, the opposite of what I am saying is also true. It is also true that consciousness is the same as your world, which would include your mind—that there is only consciousness and that all the things you identify as your world, or particular objects, or beings, or whatever you may identify is simply consciousness. There is nothing but consciousness. And that is true.

 

It is not an easy thing to describe or define. It goes beyond this world. Yet you know it, at some level, in this world. And it is very much a part of what you are calling the ascension process, because this ascension process is about connecting with higher levels of consciousness.

 

Some have used the metaphor of a movie, that everything that is happening is a movie. Your world is somewhat like a movie that you are seeing. Consciousness is the space the movie is occurring in and the awareness, the intelligence that is creating the movie. For most of your life and most of your time on earth, especially that you have been aware of, the movie that has been created has been the third-dimensional movie. This is what many of you call reality.

 

But—to continue this metaphor—in some ways, your reality is no more real than the movie that you watch in a movie theater, which often seems very real while you’re watching it. You forget that it is just a movie. And so it is with your reality.

 

But there is a slight trick to this, which is that it also is real, because it is consciousness and consciousness is real. The manifestation aspect of consciousness is sometimes referred to as the Mother, the Mother as creator, the Divine Mother, the Divine Feminine, just as you have a relationship with Mother Earth. You could see the Feminine principle as the principle of manifestation, and the Masculine principle as the principle of consciousness. In truth, we are not different. We are the same. This is where the understanding comes from that you are always creating your reality. It is because you are creating it from consciousness, in consciousness, and as consciousness.

 

This is not something that is grasped through the mind. It is grasped through your beingness. But, as I said earlier, it affects the mind. Depending on your state of consciousness, you will have a different experience through your mind. Your thoughts will be different. Your ideas will be different. Your understanding and impressions of what you call reality will be different. These are shaped by your consciousness. It is in consciousness that all things are unified. If there is only consciousness, you are connected to all, always. This is one of the beautiful aspects of the ascension process: As you grow in consciousness—in your connection to and awareness of consciousness—you affect all of manifestation through consciousness. So you have great power—much, much more than most of you have ever realized—in consciousness.

 

At the third dimension there tends to be a struggle, in some ways, between consciousness and manifestation. It feels like they are different and there is a very strong pull towards manifestation. As many of you are experiencing the ascension process, there is a sense of lightening up of this pull of the material world. This is often experienced as a relief. While that pull is very strong, it is not necessarily pleasurable. Much of the time it is painful or difficult. Yet, at the third dimension, it is not easy to break free of this. It is a gift to do so, and you are being helped, also. There are many who are helping you from the higher dimensions to remember yourself as a higher-dimensional being; to remember that there is more than this third-dimensional reality, this manifestation; and to help you, through love and the great law of attraction, to remember this beauty of the higher dimensions. It is like remembering a beautiful smell of a rose or the sweet strain of celestial music. It reminds you, and distracts you, and calls you with a gentleness that is more powerful than this pull of physicality.

 

It is not that you have to give up anything. You do not have to give up the physical. This is a natural process. You simply are moved in this direction, and it happens naturally and, in many ways, easefully. There may be some challenges, some discomforts, as with many growth processes. But you are strong and will move through these. The more that you move through these, the stronger you become; the more that you are freed up to allow this higher frequency of consciousness to create your life; the more easeful this process becomes; and the more strong you become. You also generally become happier, more joyful. It is not, perhaps, the kind of joy that you would have identified with at a more third-dimensional, physical level. It is an inner joy, the joy of light, the joy of love, which often comes in quiet forms, in peaceful ways of deep fulfillment.

 

Consciousness is attractive. It is why you have always been drawn to teachers, sages, gurus, awakened beings—because there is great attractiveness in the force of their higher level of consciousness, their greater openness to higher frequencies of consciousness. As you grow in consciousness, you will become more attractive to others. It is inevitable. This process of growing in consciousness is inevitable. It is good that you are talking about supporting each other in this process, supporting each other in a conscious way with those others who share a level of dedication to this ascension process. But beyond that, you are sharing your support with all beings, regardless of their conscious participation in this process or not. That is very important. It is wonderful that you are feeling the call to that kind of sharing and responding.

 

I believe that is all that need to say at this time. As you will see, as you grow in consciousness, the urge to speak generally diminishes. When you do speak, you will be quite brilliant.

 

And so I feel complete.

 

Blessings to all.
