Are You Part of One Mind?
What is it like to expand into Universal Consciousness? For me, it was a feeling of expansion, peace, and everlasting Love. As a result, the experience of being part of the Oneness of All Things, the One Mind of the magnificent Cosmos, is a memory that lasts throughout your life.
A Memorable Moment on the Island of Bali
It was 1991, and through a series of synchronicities, I was on the island of Bali as a speaker and participant in an Earth Day Conference sponsored by Power Places Tours.
It was a very hot, humid day. The ocean waves twinkled like diamonds as the sun cast its light on the beautiful bay. The glowing warmth highlighted the sandy beach and filtered through the tall palm trees overhead.
The wonderful resort on the island of Bali, where the Earth Day Conference was being held, was lush with foliage, a large pool, and a white, sandy beach by the ocean. I was honored to have been invited to share my experiences with a lovely group striving to become more aware and awakened.
A Meditation With Tibetan Bells Was the Turning Point
There were many wonderful spiritual presenters over one week, mixed with rituals and tours of the island. One afternoon, I was sitting cross-legged on a blanket on the grass under the trees. I listened to a lady describing how she would use Tibetan cymbals to lead us through meditation.
For example, the first ringing of the bells would focus our consciousness on the root chakra, which represents survival and groundedness at the base of the spine.
The second ringing would move our awareness to the creative chakra at the level of the belly button.
The third ringing would indicate our power center at the solar plexus.
The fourth ringing focused on the heart chakra, the center of Love and soul connection.
The fifth ringing would move our awareness to our throats, our communications center.
The sixth ringing would move our attention to the third eye, intuition, and psychic ability.
The seventh ringing would move our consciousness to the crown chakra, our spiritual connection at the top of our heads.
At the eighth ringing, our awareness would rise above our heads to the angelic realm.
The ninth ringing would move us higher into the flow of Universal Consciousness.
Moved by the Sound of Tibetan Bells
I closed my eyes and followed the speaker’s directions as she rang the bells.
Each tone seemed to resonate with the chakras she described. At the eighth ringing, I experienced my spirit moving out of my body and up into the air above the trees
By the ninth ringing, I was feeling joyful and free. Within minutes, I felt myself floating among the stars staring out at the grandeur of the Cosmos.
The feelings and sensations were of expansive freedom beyond anything I could have imagined. There were no boundaries. I was in space, and space was in me. There were no questions to ask and no fear or confusion to cloud my vision.
Incredible Peace and Tranquility
The blessing was of peace and tranquility within and around me as I looked out at the wonder of creation. The multitude of stars and galaxies formed a vista that was incredibly grand and awe-inspiring! There was a vibration that seemed to swell into a symphony, and yet the background of intense silence could be felt throughout my whole being.
Then, there was a faint disturbance of emotional tonality from a long distance. I listened closely and heard a voice calling, “Verlaine, come back! Verlaine, come back!”
My friends sitting near me had noticed that I was turning blue. Consequently, they became afraid and were calling out to me.
I heard their voices and wondered, “What is a Verlaine?” The concept of an earthly body or even the earth was no longer in my mind.
The voices became louder, “Verlaine, please come back!”
A Name is a Word with Memories Attached
Suddenly, a thought flashed in the silence. I remembered a phrase I had heard that morning. Deepok Chopra, who was at the conference, had mentioned: “A name is a word with memories attached.”
“Oh, yes,” I thought, “Perhaps that word, ‘Verlaine, is my name. Therefore, they are calling me. There must be memories attached to that name: Verlaine.
Gradually and regrettably, I began moving back toward my body and finally opened my eyes. As a result, the people around me expressed a huge sigh of relief.
The World Was Filled with Light!
My consciousness gently settled back into my physical form. As a result of my expansion, I could see a soft, glowing light around my friends and an effervescent glow around the plants, flowers, and trees. Everything was emitting multicolored, pastel colors like soft clouds of iridescent light.
I stayed in the wonder of the Cosmic vision for a few days as I began to integrate the feeling of One Mind. I was surprised and amused by how the energy field around my body reacted. It felt like a balloon filled with light. The balloon-like energy moved in and out as people passed by.
(Also, I want to mention that I have never used drugs during my life, except for a glass of wine at dinner and trying marijuana two times which didn’t work out well for me. I guess I would be even weirder if I had taken drugs.)
The Feeling of “One Mind” Echoes Through My Days
My journey among the stars has changed my perspective on being present in this lifetime. The memory and feeling of that experience are always with me. Without question, I know we are all One with the Universe.
“Universe” is an interesting word. It can be divided into Uni = Unified. And Verse is defined as a single metrical line in a poetic composition, one line of poetry, or a song. We are each a part of the Universal poetry. We are each a part of the unified song of the Cosmos, a song written by the Creator, God, Goddess, and All That Is!
Your Intuition, Spiritual Guidance, is Your Most Important Life Tool
This trip to Bali was one of many experiences that have made me aware of other dimensions of Time and Space. I have seen beyond the physical, mental, and emotional world we normally inhabit. Learning to trust spiritual guidance has been a major part of my journey.
I desire to share the teachings I have received with you. Most importantly, you need to know that Spiritual Guidance is available to you every moment of your life on Earth and beyond.
Can You Experience Greater Conscious Awareness?
What if you were aware of the thoughts of everyone around you? Would you like to receive messages from loved ones across many miles without a phone or electrical devices? Imagine being able to visit other dimensions and speak with loved ones who have died. Are you willing to receive advanced information that seems to come to you out of thin air?
For instance, there are thousands of people experiencing these capabilities around the world. Without trying, they are experiencing Universal Consciousness and accessing the Library of All Knowledge. Larry Dossey, M.D., describes what he has learned in his fascinating book. It is called One Mind: How our individual mind is part of a greater consciousness and why it matters.
Dr. Dossey takes us on an extraordinary journey to examine the concept of One Mind. He provides astonishing examples of Extrasensory Perception (ESP)and Near Death Experiences (NDE). He explores identical twin interaction, savant knowledge, remote viewing, and much more.
What is One Mind?
One Mind is Universal Consciousness (God) which is the Creative Source manifesting, incorporating, and underlying everything. For example, I think our individualized mind is similar to a personal computer. Our personal, limited mind stores our thoughts, programs, and memories. One Mind is similar to the World Wide Web, which contains huge amounts of information on every subject we can imagine.
One Mind Contains All Knowledge and Infinite Creativity
The difference is that Universal Consciousness or the One Mind contains all knowledge, all understanding, and infinite creativity. This One Mind has been called many names: God, Goddess, Creator, and The Source. The Jewish Bible refers to YHWH (expanded to Yahweh or Jehovah in English) and Allah. The Hindus refer to Brahman and the Buddhists talk of Nirvana.
Even Psychologist Carl Jung wrote about the existence of universal interconnectedness through his concepts of the collective unconscious and archetypes. Amazing information about additional senses has become mainstream due to extensive spiritual and psychological studies and paranormal research. Normally, our basic assumptions are limited about who and where we are. Our ability to learn is expansive and never-ending.
A Large Rubber Ball Filled with Light
For example, let me present a helpful metaphor that illustrates how we exist as part of One Mind. Imagine a very large rubber ball filled with light. If you puncture the ball and make billions of holes, small beams of light radiate out of the ball. Each of those beams of light is a living being. Similarly, we are the One Mind, each a beam of light in the stream of Love, creativity, and information flowing from the One Mind.
But, How Do You Open to These Other Worldly Experiences?
The answers are that sometimes these extra-sensory experiences happen spontaneously. Suddenly you see a future event or see a vision of a loved one come into view. Often it is a feeling that alerts you that there may be danger nearby. You receive an internal message to change direction or run.
On the other hand, many people open to the “unseen” by learning to quiet their minds. For instance, when concentrating on a mantra or deeply focusing on meditation, we learn to quiet our minds. It is important to practice relaxing in silence and feeling the vibration of wisdom and expansive awareness of the One Mind.
