Evolution…

As Life evolves, it is easy to think that human have evolved to our ultimate state. Not only is evolution continuing, it is happening at an accelerated pace. In fact, it feels dizzying at times. As humans “being,” (not a typo), the requirement for keeping balance is understanding that our humanity continues to evolve.

Deepak Chopra, his book “Becoming Metahuman,” states (and this is literally mind blowing), our minds are instruments, they are not who we truly are. Who we truly are is an observer which directs the activities of the mind, the body and emotion.

Dr. Chopra’s point is that we are evolving beyond misidentifying ourselves in our physical form and ego mind activity. There is a universal part of us that has always been and will always be, namely “consciousness.” That authentic self, a metahuman, observes and directs the activities of mind from a universal platform.

Ok, if that sounds like gobbledygook;  Simplified, when you are observing yourself objectively and from a non-reactive place, you are coming from consciousness. That consciousness is a creative activity that is way beyond physical form and individual identity. Unless our minds are trained to be quiet nothing but conditioned thought will dominate us.  Observing our world situation, how is that working for us?

Once we eliminate our thoughts as defining who we are, we can evolve beyond human limitation. The current mindfulness movements are all lining up in this perspective.  There are mind/body practices that foster metahuman activity. These could be meditation, yoga and various energy practices. These practices are designed to eliminate the domination of conditioned thinking and train our minds to be quiet. The quiet mind is receptive to a connection with universal and unlimited consciousness.

We are all learning.

With love, Rosanne

Anyone who has read my blogs knows that I am not kindred to technology. I just wasn’t born with that “chip!” Since all of this is unfamiliar, it causes anxiety for me (and for many others). Undaunted, I am forging forward, in a state of bewilderment and sometimes futility, to navigate. The latest mystery is…

A Terrible Master

Have you noticed that you “feel before you think?” The body is wise and intuitive…the mind can be easily fooled. The longer I practice Reiki, (light touch energy healing) I realize that it is a validation of what I’ve known all along. As they say in the East, the mind is a wonderful servant but…

The Snow Grinch

By Rosanne Bostonian | December 14, 2022

I’ve never been a big fan of snow. I don’t ski nor snowboard (God forbid), and the shoveling and travel hazards have been exhausting and scary. On the surface, snow is fraught with trials and tribulations. Walking my dog in the snow has resulted in several butt surfing episodes that are ever more daunting in…

We Aren’t Our Thoughts

“The mind is its own place – It can make Hell of Heaven or Heaven of Hell.” John Milton in “Paradise Lost” At some point we have to decide who we are and who we aren’t. The jury is still out on the human mind and its machinations. After all, the body has existed as…

Why are all forms temporary? When we follow the transition of form to energy, we are on the Path to Enlightenment and Abundance. There is a part of us that finds the loss of familiarity and form off-putting and disconcerting. I’m sure you’ve experienced that feeling…the sense that we want our loved ones with us…

We either move beyond a sense of limitation in these times of change, or we are left behind. There are moment described in spiritual literature when people accomplish transformation in an instant. These miraculous examples of upward mobility are referred to as “epiphanies” in Christian lore. They are sometimes described as a vision that immediately…

Thinking

By Rosanne Bostonian | October 14, 2022

There is a lot of mischief in thinking.  The mind spins to solve problems so it must have problems to solve. This means that events must be interpreted as problems or potential problems. Is there any wonder that the lines at CVS are out the door? Everything is a problem, so we’re heightened and ready…

The Finiteness of Form and Time

I remember my dear uncle saying, “Now that I’m old I can look back on life while I’m living it.” I didn’t get that at the time, but now I do. What I find different about getting older is that I can be the observer and the actor at the same time. When we’re young,…

Through Us, Not From Us

By Rosanne Bostonian | August 23, 2022

What I have come to understand is that everything our senses experience has come through us, not from us. In other words, the material world is already created, so its slow vibration is only the reflection of highly potent “pre-manifested energy.” So, if what is already out there, people, animals, things, isn’t a “source,” what…
