The Gifts of Cosmic Consciousness
Adapted from Power, Freedom, and Grace, by Deepak Chopra (Amber Allen, 2006).
In cosmic consciousness we are still in this world–-waking dreaming, and sleeping—and yet we are connected to our source in waking, dreaming and sleeping. Like a light at the door that shines inside the room and outside the room, we are in both places. When this happens, synchronicity, chance encounters and hidden clues increase. We start to understand the power of intention. We start to watch our internal dialogue, and we say, I know that how I speak to myself actually causes things to change in my physiology, in my world.
In cosmic consciousness, we find that relationship is the most important thing in life; everything in life is a confluence of relationships. We begin to see that everything is a balance between feminine and masculine energies, the yin and yang, and anytime there is more of one than the other, we are out of balance. Right now, we need to reawaken the feminine because the dominance of the masculine has led to belligerence, arrogance, and aggression, the very problems we see in the world right now.
In cosmic consciousness, we are aware that we are not the physical body, nor are we the mind and all the roles we play. We are the silent witness, and a sense of freedom and liberation comes out of this awareness.
We are involved in our roles, and yet we are free at the same time. We recognize that after death our spirit will continue to play other roles, and we feel more ease. As we abide in cosmic consciousness and allow it to blossom, the universe plays itself through us, and the whole dance of life becomes effortless.

Luckily we all speak the same language here, as does anyone who reads Deepak's books. The intent is always perfectly clear. Whenever I post comments here (not too often) I'm always conscious of the fact that I am talking to myself before I am talking to anyone else. There's such an air of detachment around here. We all have similar intent when we come here, so there is little room for defensiveness, etc.
So, my conclusion is...this is the only place on the internet I really need to be.

Well I did not intend to curse anyone...simply saying look to yourself first...anyway if Deepaks is selling books and making money..one should also follow it through and realise that this money is being spread around and a lot of people are benifiting from his good solid words and work. Yes keeping the yin and yang in good balance ...thanks Deepak

I must also acknowledge the perfect timing of this gift. Recently, I've let the male aspect take complete control. I suppose this is because I am afraid of appearing weak to others. Lately my energy has just been sapped, because I got into the habit of offering help where it is not needed.
I'm all for encouraging others to bring blessings, not curses--except for the language barrier. Even if people are supposedly speaking the same language, it is all too often unclear if something is in fact a blessing or a curse. This leads me to the conclusion that blessings should be unspoken, unless it is inconceivable that they will be misinterpreted.

To Doug, if you don't like a name, don't go by it. Find another way of reminding youself what you want.
To John, rather than "letting others bring curses" why not bring blessings and encourage others to do the same?

To Mary It is better to brings blessings than curses to any interaction. Let other people bring curses. I choose blessings.

I dont agree with you Steven...but every one is entitled to have an opinion. I notice when I attempt to critize someone else, I first ask myself...what can I do better or do I have any issues which I need to address before projecting my fears onto someone else.

From now on I will go by the name flower. I don't particularly like the name, as I am a fifty year old man with cloddish and brutish tendencies, but it will serve as a constant reminder to recall that balance and harmony are universal assets.
