Consciousness and Reopening Our Boxes. Today on Conscious Conversations, Joan and Janet contemplate the dynamics of opening up a box, whether interior or exterior. We put our stuff in boxes and take them with us. Join us as we explore what happens when, as Consciousness at play, we open up and reorganize in our lives.
Mystic Minute: Taking Time To Embody Consciousness
Intersections of Life ©2017 Joan M. Newcomb
My evolving awareness is that life is a creation of Consciousness, and we *are* that Consciousness. It’s not accurate to say it’s an illusion but it’s a manifestation of our focus as Consciousness.
I use the term ‘hologram’ for this world, which isn’t entirely accurate but then language cannot begin to describe the process of going from our infinite vastness into the density of form.
I also describe life in this world as a game, because to Consciousness, it is a kind of full immersion ‘virtual reality’ experience.

There are lots of ways to play this game, and there’s no good or bad way to participate. You can dive in, completely unconscious, and feel tossed and turned by it. At this level you experience physical reality at it’s most dense. In order to create you have to use a lot of effort and it takes a lot of time.
Another way to play is with some awareness, in the realm of thought and law of attraction. This takes less effort and feels more playful, as you use visualization and repetition (and vision boards and pink balloons) to make your ideas become real.
Yet when you’re playing fully as Consciousness all the old rules go out the window. You have no need to try to manifest anything. You know that You are creating all of this as Consciousness, down to the smallest detail. You just show up fully in the present moment and respond to what is.
In fact there’s no need to make anything happen in the hologram, because there’s an infinite number of holograms with an infinite number of possibilities and outcomes. You just shift yourself to where the reality is unfolding in your favor.
However, even if you choose to play fully as Consciousness, it doesn’t mean everything is just ducky.
If ever there was a time I wanted to change, fix, or manipulate the hologram, last month was it. The house we were living in had mold, and I’d been able to ignore it since turning off the furnace in Spring, but knew that come September there’d be problems again.
Life flows forward like cars in traffic and if you don’t make conscious choices, eventually you’ll feel that you’re forced into them. You’re not really forced into anything, but if you’re driving without your hands on the wheel… or with your eyes closed…
What I observed happening over the previous month was possibilities arising and stepping towards each one. Reality reorganized around that possibility and I had the opportunity to check it out in body. Then it would shift to a different scenario as I became clear about my preferences.
What ultimately unfolded is perfect but completely different than I originally thought I’d wanted. When you play as Consciousness what shows up is beyond what you could possibly imagine and the house we’re in now certainly is that.

Mystic Minute: Spiritual Merit Badges
Operating as Consciousness in Body
Someone asked me what specific techniques would be useful to create a desired outcome for navigating as Consciousness.
Techniques don’t matter as much as perspective. If you’re trying to change, fix, or manipulate the outcome, you’re not operating as Consciousness.
If you feel like outer circumstances *need* changing, fixing, or manipulating, you’re not operating as Consciousness.
If you feel like someone or something has more power than you, you’re not operating as Consciousness.
As Consciousness, you are creating this reality. Including things seeming to need fixing, changing or manipulating. Even the aspect of you that feels powerless in the moment.
What if I feel like someone or something has more information than I do? What if I don’t know how to do something?
As Consciousness, you are Infinite Intelligence, you *are* the Cosmic Internet, with all information available to you at any moment.
However you’ve created a body/personality with limitations, which doesn’t have all that information in it’s hard drive.
You’ve created other people and things in your reality with that information.
The power issue is a little different because it’s where you place your Source. Others in your reality are not your Source. Bosses, banks, and governments are not your source.
Money isn’t your source. It’s an expression of appreciation in this physical reality.
When you internalize this, and internalize that *you* are Consciousness creating all this, it creates an enormous shift in your reality.
Nothing daunts you any more. Infinite possibilities become available to you.You are free to play and choose from all options.
You feel free to express appreciation for information or support, because you’ve created that information or support or person, place, thing, in your reality.
Consciousness Techniques work when you use them as Consciousness. When you use them as body personality, they’ll be as flawed as Law of Attraction is when you’re coming from a place of lack.
When you’re operating as Consciousness, you can make up your own techniques and they’ll work for you.
If you’re not operating as Consciousness then no amount of techniques are going to get you then. Even a glimmer of Consciousness manifests miracles.
I’ve created mentors and teachers in my reality, but they are not my Source. They are other aspects of Consciousness. I value their experience and information, but doing it exactly their way isn’t going to work for me. I have to own it for myself, which may mean upgrading or adjusting it to resonate with me as Consciousness, for anything to work.
I have mentees, students and clients in my reality, but I am not their Source. I am a creation of Consciousness by them. I see my main role is to validate them *as* Consciousness and not their personality.
I also happen to have valuable experience, information, and techniques that may be useful, but only if they own it as Consciousness.
When you move through this world as Consciousness, when you own this world as your Creation, it completely transforms your reality.
Life becomes effortless and fun.
I just spent four weeks manifesting a house. When I first started, I wanted one just like the one I’m in (a 1905 Craftsman, in the historic Proctor District of Tacoma). It was fascinating to watch the creation reorganize, and go through different possibilities before it finalized in a 1956 ‘Mid Century Modern’, surrounded by trees, in a quiet suburb next to a golf course.
My mind would not have intended this. But it is unfolding perfectly in my favor. And I had been saying that a part of me yearns to go back to being a “Mystic In the Woods” as I was for many years on Vashon Island. I realized today that maybe this might be an aspect of this new creation.
When I operate as Consciousness, what gets created is beyond my wildest imagination.
Try this for yourself and see what happens!

Manifesting In The New Consciousness
Manifesting In The New Consciousness ©2017 Joan M. Newcomb, CPC
I recently created a scenario which seemed to require conscious manifesting. In the old days I would have written about it, vision boarded it, affirmed it, put it in a pink balloon, two pointed to where ever it already exists, and, yes, stepped through doors to parallel universes where it’s already happening.
Because yeah, man, I’m an expert and I already know this stuff.
And I didn’t do any of those things. I created something that afternoon that wasn’t quite the thing. I sat with it, and watched other possibilities unfold. This required interacting with others in my storyline, and dances with relationships.
It was (and is) very interesting to see what is coming into form. And very interesting to see my discomfort with not being entirely in control of the creation.
It’s still not fully in form. The agreements are still being drawn up. And Mercury is going retrograde on Saturday!
But something bigger is unfolding, beyond what I can imagine, and a part of me is excited to be stepping into the unknown, to having something more that what my mind wants to design.
There’s so much potential for drama and disagreements. And yet all that dissipates when I don’t resist what is.
Manifesting in the new Consciousness is the opposite of how it was before. It isn’t about changing, fixing, or manipulating the circumstances. It’s not about claiming power and declaring it to the Universe. It’s not about specifics and time limits.
All of that was Ego/Personality/Mind wanting to control the outcome. The part that is fearful, the part that feels powerless, the part that is based in survival.
Consciousness is creating all of this. You are Consciousness. You’re creating all of this. All possibilities exist within this creation. You are dancing between possibilities.
It’s all good, because as Consciousness, you love your creations, you love your Self that is playing in this field of reality.
Playing this way you totally know it’s a benevolent You-niverse. Wherever you fall, you are being caught.
There are no mistakes, because all possibilities are running simultaneously and you chose this one in the moment. Things can transform themselves, when you play at this level, when you expand to a different outcome.
Manifesting in the new Consciousness is about creating, not control. This is a playground, we are here to create, it’s all about creating and being creative.
As Consciousness you are benignly neutral. There’s no good or bad to what you create. If you manifest disasters, it’s equally as creative as manifesting miracles. If you want to create something different it’s a very subtle shift in direction.
It’s incredibly freeing to let go of control, and to go forward completely improvising as things come up.
Creating as Consciousness allows you to manifest beyond your wildest imagination.

Mystic Minute: You Are A Velveteen Rabbit!
Everyday Time Traveling ©2017 Joan M. Newcomb, CPC
I’m writing this from a hotel room next to the Yakima River. It’s a scorching day in August, yet the river it running full and strong. I’m not used to rivers, I live in the Puget Sound, which has tides that flow and ebb along the shore.
The river reminds me of our experience of time in this physical reality. Time flows, from past to future. When I meditated on this, while looking at the river, I saw myself standing still, wanting to walk upstream, wanting to let the river take whatever I wanted to release.
It illustrates my resistance to going with the flow. It shows that I’m facing the past (upstream). The current of time is continually moving us forward, down the river. As Consciousness focused into form, we cannot cling to the river bank.
It also illustrates how, in this new reality, everything is the opposite of what is was before. My old focus would have been to stay anchored in one spot, and to release energy that way. When I see myself as Consciousness flowing down the river, I see that past energy is released in every moment. It’s not even an issue. It is gone, and the continuous flow is the present moment.
My body feels unnerved with the prospect of releasing its grip on the bank. It doesn’t feel exhilarated by the flowing water (as it may have when I was younger). It anticipates drowning, which is not fun.
But when I gently cradle it in my loving energy as Consciousness, it allows the flow to happen. I feel the shift in energy. I relax into the continuous change that is always available.
Nothing is truly lost, nothing is really left behind, it is put into it’s proper placement in the storyline, it is stored in the Cosmic Cloud. No one is really gone, nor abandoned, we are all still connected as Consciousness.
Consciousness exists outside of time and space. The flow of time is just one of the elements that construct this reality. It keeps the story moving along, it’s the background music that helps propel our personal game of life.
We are bigger than our story, we are bigger than the river, we are Consciousness that encompasses it all. When you identify as Consciousness within form, this all becomes an enjoyable activity, even if we’ve hit a patch of white water and are rolling over rocks.
When you hold a bigger space in your life, as you effortlessly do as Consciousness, it is easy to cast off the bowlines and go into the current, towards everything you’ve dreamed and desired.

Mystic Minutes: Chakra Upgrades!
How To Handle The Waves of Change ©2017 Joan M. Newcomb, CPC
Wow, this is an intense time. So many things are coming at us. We have to handle multiple things at once. There’s no time to rest. There’s certainly no sleep at night!!
Now, some people may find this exhilarating. They may feel on top of their game. Yay, them.
Most folks are finding this challenging and overwhelming. If this is you, even though your circumstances are unique, you’re not alone!
What is happening is that Greater Consciousness is coming into form. This is stirring things up.
This will show up in your life in situations or relationships provoking feelings of conflict, resistance, pain, fear, anger, or just wanting to sleep all day!
How to handle these waves of change?
You can fight it. This might be energizing to some. It may keep them from being paralyzed with fear. It might help them break through to the next experience. Or it might get you more enmeshed in it.
You can pretend it’s not happening. This is a different tactic. Just keep going to work and home and act as if nothing unusual is going on. Fake it ’til you make it. This strategy is useful to some folks, a way to hunker down and get through it. However this can also backfire, the situation can accelerate until you have to pay attention to it!
You can ride with it. Life is like kayaking, sometimes we hit white water, grab hold of your paddles! This is a great way not to resist and ‘go with the flow’ no matter how fast and rough it may seem.
You can dive through the waves. If you’re standing in the water at the beach and the wave seems too big, just dive through it! You’d be surprised how quick you get to the other side.
Old patterns are breaking down. Situations that don’t serve are either going away or getting worse. It’s an opportunity for you to try something new or different, or put into practice what you already know.
However it’s on the way to getting better. You could come out of this time period completely transformed! Don’t resist the ride.
If you really, really want things to be different, this is your chance to change things! Portals of change are opening and are everywhere. All you have to do stay is stay alert, and step through them!

Mystic Minute: Upgrading Your Techniques For This New Reality
How To Deal With The “New Normal”
How To Deal With The “New Normal” ©2017 Joan M. Newcomb, CPC
One of my neighbors stopped me on my walk and offered condolences. “Emma’s died?” She and her husband had seen us carrying her out to the lawn in her last days.
When she came back from the vet, after her biopsy, she’d stopped walking. So we carried her outside twice a day. It wasn’t all that different from before, since she’d like to sleep most of the day anyway. It was a “new normal”.
She was too heavy for me to lift and at some point my husband hurt his back, so we both lifted her using the four corners of the towel that we had under her. I found myself singing the song from Aladdin as she went on a ‘magic carpet ride’ to the outside world. Corgis are always smiling, but she grinned even more as she could feel the fresh air and smell all the smells.
This concept of it being a ‘new normal’ had helped me when my mother, after 10 months on home hospice, stopped walking and became bedridden. She had Alzheimer’s and cancer, and the blessing was that she didn’t know she had either. She wondered why she stayed in bed all the time. “Oh, you always like to sleep a lot.” I said. Which was true, she had hated me getting her up in the morning and now I didn’t have to…
Now the new normal is that Emma is gone and we’re putting off getting another dog. We’re cherishing being able to sleep in on weekends and go out for dinner without having to walk someone. I did, however, get a new fish, which I call “Puppy”, so I can say that I did get one.
It occurred to me that we’re hitting “new normals” all the time, even if they’re not healthy. People are getting numb from the news, the emotional roller coaster of deliberately inflammatory and distracting tweets, of human rights being systematically dismantled and withdrawn.
There’s always a pendulum swing in politics and at some point this will all reverse itself. And as Consciousness, I see what is really happening is that those who seem most powerful, are actually the least. And they are scrambling to restore a paradigm that has already disintegrated. We are have evolved as Consciousness, are embodying more of ourselves as Consciousness, so we are all already individually too empowered to go back to that antiquated acceptance of domination.
It hit me that we’re stepping into a new existence, which requires us to expand to a new normalcy. Energetically it feels lighter. We’re used to feeling weighed down, that being more powerful means occupying more physical space.
When you embody more of yourself as Consciousness, it feels buoyant. When you feel empowered, it feels more internally powerful. It actually feels effortless and relaxed. Standing in your own power feels confident, because as Consciousness you *are* wisdom. There’s an absence of a need to dominate or compete because we’re *all* Consciousness.
It starts by focusing within, because our bodies are our anchor points as Consciousness into this physical realm. However, we’re operating at a higher frequency than ever before, so it really only requires a focal point, a pinpoint of Consciousness, to bring you fully aware into form. And it can be anywhere within. I used to have rigid opinions about where this should be and how it should be done. Rigidity is the old normal.
Try this for yourself. Wirelessly connect as Consciousness into form, and notice what’s different. That’s your new normal. Doing this regularly has a ripple effect into the rest of your reality. Play with this during the week and see what happens!
