Consciousness Known by Rhonda O'Brien

Chapter taken from Light, channeled by Rhonda O'Brien.

We start this dialog with a mere reminder of our purpose in this lifetime. Our lives are a mere succession of different life spans in which we set up different circumstances and challenges which will eventually or not so eventually lead us to enlightenment. In other words, we are constantly learning and moving to a state in which we can see more clearly.

We are set before or rather we choose to be set before a number of challenges in each lifetime. As you set yourself up for each of these challenges, you know that you will some day successfully overcome all that is blocking you. You are assured success, even if it does take you awhile. At the same time, these challenges are just so that they can make you stretch just a little bit more than you have previously stretched yourself before. After all, how interesting would it be to put together the same puzzle over and over again?

We are assured success because innately we know everything that I am writing in these pages and every lesson that is out there to be learned. Well you may be asking why are we learning the same lessons all over again? Well the answer is simple in that we are all of one mind and every piece of advice, knowledge or wisdom is just as easily accessed as a thought, feeling or emotion. Just as we can evoke tears, we can evoke wisdom. It is all out there for the taking if only we make ourselves aware of such a bank of incredible wisdom, believe that we can possess and hold and utilize this wisdom, and listen when wisdom is whispered, spelled out or demonstrated in our everyday lives.

Many of us are witnesses to enlightenment every moment of our lives. The process of life and death is incredible and, if one were perceptive enough, one would learn something new or re-experience something wonderful with each breath that we inhale or exhale each and every moment of this lifetime. We are not perceptive enough only because we are not in the habit of being so. Many of us lost this ability soon after birth when we learned other, non-telepathic ways of communicating to those that surrounded us. It is a shame that most of us have lost this ability, however, the good news is that, with practice, we can all easily regain this very special skill. It certainly would make our lives a lot simpler. Imagine how easy it would be to communicate without the sticky, technicality we call language. Language, race, religion, gender and creed would no longer leave confusion and misunderstanding amongst people. We would instantly know what others were thinking without all of the guesswork. I would imagine that all peoples would get along a lot better than they currently are.

The beauty of this all is that every being has the potential to teach these lessons throughout his/her lifetime. One may teach a lesson by example. Either his/her light will teach and inspire or his/her actions will teach and show others how not to live or that certain beliefs and patterns do not work. Martin Luther King Jr. taught us that love, peace and faith could lead to tremendous change. Whereas, leaders like Stalin taught us that force, unfeeling and overall negativity breeds nothing but suffering and unhappiness. I am sure that everyone can find examples of people who have inspired them through their examples whether these examples taught them what works or their actions taught others what does not work. In this way all of our lives are sacred. We all have the ability to teach others even if that is not what we set out to do.
