Mystic Musings: Choosing To Live or Choosing To Die
Choosing To Live or Choosing To Die ©2018 Joan M. Newcomb, CPC
We experience life on a multitude of levels. It is infinitely complex. It is definitely not black and white. But the level where we feel the most conflict and pain, is the level that presents the most choices.
If we’re operating totally unconsciously, we don’t feel like we have any options. Life happens to us. There is always something bigger and more powerful, that has influence over us. Bad things happen, it’s probably our fault or someone else’s fault. Good things happen, it’s a coincidence.
When we experience life with more Consciousness, we’re aware we have choices. If we make a decision, take an action, we can see it’s effect in our lives. We feel a little more empowered. If things appear to happen, we can respond differently. Even if something seems “bad”, we feel we can do something about it.
At this level of choice, we can go towards light, we can go with energy in motion, we can experience breakthroughs. It’s not always comfortable, but it can be exhilarating.
And, in a funny way, choosing not to take action is still an action. We can choose to stay still, to not move. It’s familiar, but it may be more painful.
When you look at life from this level and in this way, you can look at it as choosing to live or choosing to die. You can notice whether or not someone is bringing more life energy into form, or is on the way out.
And at a higher level of Consciousness, we’re aware of all of these levels, and there isn’t a judgment about life and death, coming more into body or leaving it. Sometimes people leave the party early. Sometimes people hang out until the wee hours.
Growing older means knowing more people going down the path of dying. As much as it would be nice to hang out longer with our friends and loved ones, everyone has their own storyline and timing. I may miss their bodies when they’re gone, but I sometimes (often) have a better relationship with them when they’re non-physical.
At a higher level of Consciousness, the choice isn’t about living or dying. It’s about being fully in form, living fully in the moment, loving and appreciating all that is, and everyone in it.
I guess you could say that’s choosing Life.

Mystic Minute: How To Navigate Life As Consciousness
Joan’s Blog: Why There Is No Karma
Why There Is No Karma ©2018 Joan M. Newcomb, CPC
Humans are always interpreting the world through their linear viewpoint. It’s like fish interpreting the Universe from their underwater perspective.
Physical bodies move through time from birth to death, and we expect spiritual reality to be governed by the same restrictions.
Our personalities have flaws and we make mistakes as we stumble through this life. And Karma assumes that these carry over to the next lifetime. Just as it assumes that such things carry on from previous lifetimes.
From the perspective of Consciousness, this makes no sense. Consciousness does not experience time nor space. To Consciousness, all lifetimes are happening at once. Consciousness is all knowing, all wisdom. There are no progressions, spiritual learning or maturity or development.
The idea of Karma is a distorted interpretation of energetic cause and effect. If you are under water and you wave your hands, there may be a ripple created, but it doesn’t carry up to the air above, and nor does it carry to the next pond (or ocean).
And Consciousness it ultimately neutral. It doesn’t judge things as ‘good’ or ‘bad’. Everything that happens in the physical, to Consciousness, is beneficial as experience. Pain isn’t good or bad. Destruction is as creative as Construction.
The idea of ‘good’, ‘bad’, ‘sin’, etc. is a human distortion. Which doesn’t mean we all can go careening off our life paths and creating rampant chaos in the world. We can, but do we want to?
The Ten Commandments, if you look at them as Consciousness, is man’s interpretation of ways to interact within time and space. These are basic guidelines for navigating on this planet and discerning “mine” from “yours”.
I find when you shift your perception to operating as Consciousness, there’s both a disintegration of boundaries (an awareness that we are One) and clarity of our own definitions (the particular body-personality we’re navigating through at this moment).
And from this perspective, there’s no desire to cross boundaries, destroy other bodies, covet neighbor’s asses, or anything else.
As greater Consciousness comes into form, everything falls into place, everything reorganizes, there’s an innate harmony to everything.
But what about all the bad people out there? What about all the horrible, terrible things they’re doing? Aren’t they going to be punished?
Imagine going high up in the air, what would the news headlines be like from flying in an airplane? The idea of punishment doesn’t make sense from above the clouds.
This planet is a playground, an adventure in density and effort. In Disney World, you wouldn’t punish a Disney character for playing their part in the storyline.
Actually, Consciousness experience with the world is more like viewing it all from the International Space Station. There’s immense love for all of creation.
As you shift your perception, you experience more neutrality about the stories going on. You have a appreciation for all aspects of this worldly existence. And, most fun of all, as you realize that *you* are Consciousness, this immense love for all of Your creation.

Blog: “Alexa Isn’t Your Inner Voice”
Alexa” Is Not Your Inner Voice! ©2018 Joan M. Newcomb, CPC
Earlier this week, I had a super busy day, and since it wasn’t a “work” day, I decided to save time by skipping a shower. Yet when I was getting ready in the morning, I found myself planning my steps and heard the voice in my head including taking a shower.
Wait! *I* already knew that I wasn’t going to do that part of my routine. But it was a clear, distinct, thought process, that was telling me what to do.
 |
| Hint: This is *not* your Inner Voice! |
It was the clearest indicator to me that we have an inner GPS that isn’t our Higher Consciousness, but part of our brain’s automatic programming.
Imagine if you let Amazon’s Alexa tell you what your day’s routine should be. Or have Siri on your phone make all your major decisions.
What would it be like if you got in your car and asked your GPS to tell you what destination you should aim for, rather than you telling it where you want to go?
When we’re little kids, it makes sense to have a parent telling us what our schedule is. Heck, we don’t know how to tell time yet, much less know if it’s a preschool day or not.
When we get older we become responsible for our own timetable. We have to get ourselves to work or face consequences.
But at some level we still have an “outside in” perspective. We still let something outside ourselves dictate our reality. We still feel like we’re powerless children when, as our Essence, we are not.
The collective Consciousness Shift that is happening, is bringing this awareness of our core Essence into our physical form. It feels like we’re awakening to our true power and purpose.
It’s making us speak up for ourselves. It’s prompting us to question our motives. It’s shining a light on where we’ve been stuck or spinning our wheels.
Trying to drive our car with an out of date GPS is going to send our down roads with construction on them. We may still get where we intend on going, but it will take longer and require a lot of effort. In fact, if we don’t update our destination, we’ll end up going somewhere we’ve already been, but not where our soul is calling us to go.
This rise in awareness is requiring a change in perspective. Turning within for our inner wisdom requires us to discern what our Inner Voice really is. It does *not* mean listening to everything our brain is telling us. Sometimes it’s just spewing our what we read on Twitter the night before!
We need to recognize who we really are. Not our personalities, not our bodies, but our Essence. I call it Consciousness.
Steering as Consciousness updates your entire system and your itinerary. If you’ve been driving at a certain level of unconsciousness, maybe just following the driver in front of you, you’ll be in for a big surprise. If you’re still using the directions your parents gave you when you left for college, you’ll most likely experience an enormously uncomfortable transition.
If you recognize yourself as Consciousness, you internally align all aspects of yourself with your highest self. Things fall into place. It can be a gentle transformation.
When I’ve gone through expansions at lower levels of awareness, it led to radical changes, painful endings, deep, traumatic, loss. Operating at this higher perspective now, even though there are completions and changes, things reorganize better than I could have imagined (from my old mindset).
If you don’t resist what is, and go with the flow of it becoming different, you can find yourself in a new place without even trying.
Alex, Siri, your GPS, all have their place. But they’re not your Inner Voice, and they are not You. Spend some time this week noticing your habitual thinking. Rather than wrestling with it (really, would you argue with your GPS?), just redirect yourself in alignment with your Essential Self.
Hint – if it feels rebellious or reactive, it’s not your Essential Self. You as Consciousness have no need for a power struggle with your system’s programming. Consciousness is usually very subtle course corrections, with very big results.
Try this for a week and see what happens!

Blog: Reality Isn’t What You Think
Reality Isn’t What You Think ©2018 Joan M. Newcomb, CPC
When we go through a Consciousness Shift, it can be pretty disorienting. We’re sensing and experiencing things so differently than before. It can feel expansive, joyous, overwhelming.
Our minds kick into high gear trying to figure out what is going on and how to handle it. Our minds want to create some sort of equilibrium, but they only know what they’ve experience before, so they end up directing us back to our previous state.
When I went to Findhorn the first time, the shift was seismic. I started feeling it when I booked my Experience Week, six months earlier. Now I see that I was welcoming in the greater light of Consciousness.
A couple months before I left for Scotland, I started feeling enveloped in overwhelming love. I also started having premonitions about my time there. I was concerned I was going to fall in love if I went there. It seemed pretty clichéd, as everyone falls in love when they go to Findhorn.
So of course, I fell in love with one of my focalisers, who subsequently turned out to be gay, which eventually transmuted into a friendship.
What I see now is that I couldn’t just receive the enveloping Love of Consciousness (it turns out that the focalisers meditate on their upcoming Experience groups, blessing them with love, and that’s what I’d been experiencing). I was viewing it through my mind’s preconceived notion that it had to be expressed through an “in-love” relationship.
The second time I felt this same enveloping Love, it was after leaving a dysfunctional relationship. I had about nine months of this extraordinary experience, which then dissipated when I fell “in-love” with someone who checked all the boxes of my mind’s expectations (tall and wealthy were two of the boxes), but who was spiritually incompatible. When it ended, it was traumatic, and I plunged into a pool of shame and depression.
The evolving Consciousness Shift I’ve been experiencing for the last decade has been different. It’s called into question everything I believed was solid and real. Whereas my old techniques brought me more into the density of form (I would say that “gravity increased” when I used them), my new experiences shift me into a reality that is expansive and buoyant.
My mind thought this was awfully flakey. It judged me as being “ungrounded”. But when I tried to use my old techniques, they don’t work on this level. It’s like trying to run MS-DOS on a MacBook Air. Or picking up a landline expecting to send a text message.
All around us you can see minds losing their shit and trying to redirect reality back to what was familiar to them. And when you stop and look at what used to be, it wasn’t really all that fun or lovely. It was probably pretty painful.
The rules for operating in this new reality are, in many ways, opposite of the way things were before.
Our minds are going to get us to where ever we want to go. Even if they’re thinking “outside the box”, they’re still thinking. They’re trying to figure it out.
The solution is to be intuitive, and improvisational. Exploring with curiosity. Being present without expectations.

Blog: Comedy of Errors
Comedy of Errors ©2017 Joan M. Newcomb, CPC
Yesterday I had another unbelievably difficult time with technology. Last week I tried upgrading something that I’d done a month ago, and the results were a mess. So yesterday I tried again, and the morning was very productive. But the afternoon was another comedy of errors.
At some point I realized how hilarious the scenario was. I mean, I teach Consciousness Techniques, which allows you to manifest reality “easily and effortlessly”. But trying to create a video and powerpoint took a mountain of effort and hasn’t yielded anything worth publishing yet.
Does that mean my work is full of shit? Does it mean that we’re not in a huge shift of Consciousness?
Nah. It means that Consciousness has no ethics about playing the game here on Playground Earth. It means that even when it’s all effort, it’s all good.
Now, I as my body-personality had a schedule and a deadline for this project. As Consciousness, I didn’t.
When I went through this a month ago, it was equally bizarre. Sometimes the software worked, sometimes it didn’t. I ended up using two different devices with three different versions of the program, which sometimes had one ability and then it didn’t. And then I create a workaround using something completely different.
I assumed today would be easier, because I did all the things that ultimately worked in the end last time. Except today was kind of the same thing. And I ended up running out of memory on my laptop and deleted a bunch of things that maybe I’m going to need tomorrow when I work on this again.
But all of this is a wonderful metaphor for life as Consciousness in a physical body. The more Consciousness comes into form, the more unexpected things happen. Things show up that shouldn’t be there. Things that should work one way, don’t.
It doesn’t mean that I’ve gone backwards in my development. It doesn’t mean that I’m operating unconsciously.
It may mean that I’m in too much effort, that’s for sure.
This happens when we thing we’re spiritually enlightened. When we think we already know it all. When we expect life to have hierarchies and levels.
Consciousness relishes all of it, Consciousness inhabits all of it.
What to do when things like this happen? Don’t resist what is. Let it go. Send a parallel self to work on it. Step into a parallel universe where it’s already done. Allow reality to reorganize differently.
And I’m going to sleep on it and see what unfolds tomorrow
Blog: Even In Darkness, There Is Always Light
©2017 Joan M. Newcomb, CPC
We just had the Winter Solstice, in the Northern Hemisphere the shortest day of the year. It means that now the days will start being longer. I find it ironic that it’s also the coldest time and with the worse weather.
And as I think about it, the Summer Solstice means the days are starting to get shorter, but August always is the warmest month and the evenings seem to go on forever.
This planet is full of dichotomies.
From an external perspective, Winter is when nature seems to go dormant. The ground is hard, trees have gone bare of leaves. And yet, below the surface, nature is very much alive. Seeds are germinating, and animals are hibernating with their young.
On an unseen level, Earth’s architects are planning the future growth cycle. Come the Equinox, these plans will be delivered into form and become physically apparent as the seasons change.
Besides the darkest time of the year, it’s often the most painful. Many people pass during the holidays. I personally think this is because the veil between worlds is thinner.
We go through similar evolutions in our lives, and its feels harder when we cannot see what is coming. We feel like we’re in a time of increasing darkness that is never going to end.
And yet, even in darkness, there is always light. It may be that, with all that is happening, we can’t feel it.
No matter what is going on in your life, whatever is occuring in your storyline, there is always reason to hope.
It does get better.
Above the worst blizzard, the sun is still shining.
Blog: Life is an Experiment By Consciousness
©2017 Joan M. Newcomb, CPC
This world is an adventure in density and effort. Consciousness is creating it moment to moment. Consciousness creates through focus, and the more Consciousness is coming in and focusing, the more “awake” we feel in this playground.
This world is not solid and real. Time and space are structural components and yet, the more Consciousness comes into form, the more we discover how malleable these structures are.
I’ve been describing this planet as a full immersion virtual reality game. But the game is infinitely more complex than we can imagine. We’re used to playing by rules and on a certain level these rules seem to still be intact.
The past is in the past, the future is in the future, and we seem to exist in the present moment. And people’s whose bodies are no longer alive seem to no longer exist. There are times, however, where you can sense past loved ones, where you could say the ‘veils are thinner’.
However, I am noticing as we collectively shift into a higher vibration, the past and future seem to bleed through to the present. At times like these, I can not only acutely feel passed loved ones, I can actually feel them from times they’ve been alive.
Consciousness exists both outside of your body and within your body. It is You, with a capital Y, within form, and the greater yoU, outside of form. Outside of form, outside of physical reality, outside of time and space. And able to perceive everything existing simultaneously, all past and future possibilities.
Whoa.
As we shift in Consciousness, the old rules no longer apply. Systems and formulae no longer function.
We’re seeing this reflected in our storylines by observing unprecedented actions. We’re observing people are certain egoic levels trying to act as powerful as Consciousness. At the same time increased intolerance for behaviors that negate or disempower individuals.
We are all Consciousness, and when we own it we are infinitely powerful. Yet when we own it we feel no need to dominate. We are *all* Consciousness, so as greater Consciousness comes into form, so does the drive to connect and collaborate.
It’s not accurate to liken this world to a theme park like Disneyland, because there are the rides are rigidly controlled and the experience is replicable. This world is an experiment of infinite possibilities.
When we think of it like a game, then we want to learn the rules and game the system. When we see it as an experiment, we enter it as Consciousness, playfully curious and open minded.
Try being playful and open for this next week and see what happens!
