To me, this then means that my actions are not necessarily coming from my own thoughts, because if you have desire for something, and I am the person who can manifest that desire for you, then this "consciousness" puts thoughts in my head to allow me to bring you your desire. This thinking helped my understand the concept that we are all "one" and connected. We are all linked through our mind or sub-conscious via this energy.

I agree- I think of life as a river- it is plotted out for us ahead of time, and our energies are channeled into that flow during our lifetime on earth. Desires that seem to originate from us are actually seeded from externals or previous events-- we want the great career, because we are meant to have it, and actually upstream, we know we are going to get it.
Also, I don't think that life is all about aquisition and desires- I think it's about giving- that the God/in collaboration with our spirits, put us on earth for a purpose, and we are here to fulfill that. Less about inflow from the earth to us (accumulation) and more about outflow from us to the world (contribution).

In Christianity and other religions, there is a belief in a personal God. The one "being" that created and judges us. Could consciousness be that one God? I was brought up Christian and while I value some of the beliefs I have a problem with the dogma and doctrines. However, is it possible that collectively our consciousness is one "God"? After all, our consciousness has the intelligence to manifest desires. Our consciousness has to evaluate all situations and events to line-up future events to manifest your desires. It acts as an independent observer of everything around us. As if all of our minds create one large mind that thinks independently.

That's interesting. I do believe in a God-force, that creates and sees to our evolution and contribution, but I don't think it is a judging force. I'm not sure where the line is between the God and our own consciousness.. apparently some think that it is all one..
If our collective conscoiusness is one, I wonder why physical beings seem to be less 'pure' than the ideal or God conscoiusness? Why a God of love and light, but humans on earth seem to be of lower coinscousnesses, in fear, desire, etc.
How can people say that we are both 'one with God' and say that we are 'separate', that our souls are each evolving on their own paths?
