Default The Consciousness Revolution (blog)

I was happy to read this blog because what was explained is exacly what's happening to me right now.

I believe my consciousness was risen from reading Steve's website, listening to the Power of Now and A New Earth audio book and running a lot on my own.

... but wow it's like life is a whole new ball game.

-My head is much more clear
-I've lost interest in around 80% - 90% of my friends
-I'm interested in reading more
-I find the television and the radio ennoying
-I find it real odd how people are living
-I have a desire to make a difference
-I have a desire to eat healthier


I'm really glad there is this forum so I can tell someone about what's happening. I only explained this to one good friend of mine I can't see anyone els understanding me because of there level of consciousness. I haven't been going out with my old friends like I used to it simply does not interest me anymore. I'm starting to build a purpose for my life and personal development feels like a huge priority for me. I really feel alone tho with this new level of awareness and I have no desire to lower my awareness. When I feel my awareness sliping back I don't like the feeling and I quickly regain my awareness.

Is anyone els out there experiencing what was mentioned in Steve's blog? If so I would like to hear your experiences.

Run-fly your on your way to becoming an Eagle, as are so many people, me included, soon you will never want to be like your old self...never....


My experience is somewhat similar, I started reading early 2005, around January time, near my birthday (Jan 15th, coming up soon ) and from then on my life just got better, its nearly been two years now and I havn't even started my journey yet, i'm still learning the basics lol. One piece of advice I can give you is never lose hpe, people will try and bring you down, and pull you back to normality just run away from those people, they don't know whats best for you, despite what they say.

And this is the hardest advice, this is mainly for people in their early to mid teens but it can apply to most people, don't think people in authority (or your parents) know whats best for you, they don't. The yhave your best interests at heart (mostly) but they don't know what is right for you at this very moment, follow your heart and be free. Or you may just end up being the next crappy generation

thanks for the reply Akashic_Librarian

Your right about how people try to bring you back down! It feels like there are many people trying to lower my awareness. My parents purpose for me is definitely different then my own purpose. I believe they think my purpose is to get married and have kids because that's what they talk about "when you get married..." "when you have kids I'll give you this..." ect ect... I'm figuring out recently that my purpose is not remotely close to what they think. My purpose is "adventure and helps others find there "adventure" ...

It means a lot to hear from someone who can relate to what's happening thanks again.

Default The consciousness revolution, join the club :-)

Hey,

I can totally understand you reasoning, I think I passed onto the level of love last sunday... All systems went down, I even started calling the local (Dutch) television , after reasoning with my parents they put me back with my feet on the ground so I could start to reason about my change. During the last days I'm starting to realize what an immense power it is that I've attained. Everything Steve wrote about, I read some past articles about raising consciousness, is completely clear to me now.
Run_fly, what do you think caused your consciousness boost?
I've been reading up on personal development since the beginning of 2006, I read about pickup artists, 7 habits of effective people and philosophy for example. I thought a lot about my life's purpose, watched The Secret and tried to apply it. I have always been observing life, thinking about things that happened to me and people around me. The trigger for me was a training about effective communication, which started out with some of the principles of personal development. Then I started thinking about my past, talked about it with my family and sunday evening the world opened up. Life is completely synchronous now, I feel a higher presence (I think this is the joined force of all human consciousness). I can really talk about this for hours...

If you'd like to talk a bit Run_fly, add me on msn!

Steve, thanks a bunch for showing me the beginning of this path and guiding me through it!

Don't ditch your old friends! Only being with positive people is a worthless piece of advice. The most developing of all, as in personal development, is to socialize with different people. We are more complex than that, there are a lot of people hanging out with nutheads/depressed people all day and they are still great personalities (who says a nuthead can't be anyway) and feeling great/being highly "conscious".

Also, watch out for placebo. I would advice you not to do any drastic changes in your life for a couple of months. You will see things more clearly then.

To Gert Jan:

consciousness boosters:
-running (running in solitude in the woods is a huge consciousness booster.. I've been running and competing for 6 years now almost 6days a week if you or anyone have any interest in fitness through running I would gladly help)
-giving up tv
-living in the present
-reading Steve's website
-Having the courage to quit University to follow my dream of being a pilot!

it would be awsome to talk to you about personal development! I don't use msn too much you but I do check my e-mail often... chris_run_fly@hotmail.com

To ImOpen: I totally agree with your perspective on placebo it seems like immediately after you watch a movie you get pumped and want to pursue whatever the main character did in the movie and that patience is key too. I try to keep in touch with "friends" rather then my "buddies".

Dear run_fly,

I have similar experiences as you describe:

-running (running in solitude in the woods is a huge consciousness booster.. I've been running and competing for 6 years now almost 6days a week if you or anyone have any interest in fitness through running I would gladly help)

I joined an indoor football (or soccer for you Americans ) team, you get the running and physical exercise with the additional bonus of playing in a team with other people.

-giving up tv

I never was that big of a televisionaddict, I mainly watch some sports or the news. I do enjoy movies and series a lot but I tend to download them so I can watch them when I want to and without commercials.

-living in the present

I would describe this as 'being with your current activity': when you're playing football, you're playing football so don't start dreaming about other things.
-reading Steve's website

I second that one, plus all the other material I mentioned.

-Having the courage to quit University to follow my dream of being a pilot!

I'm still in university, I have almost completed my Economics education and I think this has something to do with my purpose, not sure though but let's find out over the next couple of months
