Consciousness Simply Is
Consciousness is a ceaseless flow of becoming. When infinite consciousness contracts to experience itself as an individual life, it continues its fundamental activity of knowing, perceiving, and unfolding. The limitations and possibilities inherent in the relative realm of space and time set the stage and the rules for this particular expression. And the patterns that emerge—the archetypes, the laws of physics, the biological imperatives, the cultural influences—are the framework within which this spontaneous unfolding occurs.
A river flows according to the contours of the riverbed, the force of gravity, and the volume of its source. It can be no other way for the movement of water in that specific context. Similarly, the consciousness that animates your life, seemingly constrained and shaped by the unique conditions of your body-mind and your environment, unfolds in a way that is entirely congruent with those conditions.
Ultimately, your life is consciousness doing exactly what consciousness does when it manifests as your body-mind. The universe happens not to you but as you, as consciousness exploring its boundless potential through your specific form.
