How I Began Living In Consciousness

What is it to Live in Consciousness? What do I mean by that?
Conscious living is living on purpose, with a purpose, and not as a rudimentary drone, operating out of habit, or implanted programming.

It is a way of thinking that shows the Human Brain how to be fulfilled by the Spiritual Mind, and then function together in a naturally harmonic symbiosis. In simplest terms, it is the most complete way you can live in human form.

Some people may wonder how in the world they are supposed to begin this mental and spiritual transformation. Well, it all really comes down to one thing.

Change what you believe, and the change will be Unbelievable.

But let me back up a little…perhaps to the beginning, as far as I can remember.

          I do not remember the day I was born, but I do recall somewhere in between that day and one year. Perhaps, that is because it was no ordinary year.

          Let me explain. I have no memory of visions – it was all feeling; but a feeling with a knowing behind it. My memory dates all the way back to when I still used my baby crib as my resting place and diapers to cover my bottom. After being placed down for a daytime nap or to sleep all night, things would occur that may seem out of the ordinary to anyone else. That's because - I wasn't alone. 

What I am about to tell you are memories that have never faded - almost like mental scars that remain no matter what else I may forget throughout life.

After my mother would place me into my crib and leave the room, I was awakened by the most pleasant of feelings. Sometimes, I would sleep through the night and upon waking for the day, the pleasantness would reappear for me.

Nearly every memory I have of waking up in the crib has the feeling of being loved and comforted by three specific beings. Of the three beings, two felt motherly and one felt like a male, but not fatherly. I say, felt, because I don’t actually remember bodies. But I remember the motherly ones at the crib with me. And even though I don’t remember hands, I felt as if they were touching my belly and rubbing me all over as a mother would do. When they touched me, I felt as if their “hands” were all through me, from head to feet; they all felt like mothers that had attended me at different points within my existence as a spiritual being; two of the Earth, and one not. And when I was being rubbed by those energies, I felt no awareness of being within the confines of the crib.

After feeling transcended, all I sensed was light. Looking back through my mind’s eye, the light was everywhere and everything; as I page through my memory now, I feel as if I was absorbed into it. Even after returning to my crib, the light was still everywhere, but had become darker in places, revealing other elements of things that were part of the light – such as the house we lived in, my physical mother, brother, father and the like. Out of all the things I remember feeling, beauty and comfort were the most prominent.

And although everything was light, including my motherly caretakers, I could still identify each of them separately from the light. Beyond this explanation, I cannot describe it other than to say; they were light, but I could still see Who They Were within a field of nothing but light. I look at the sunlight today, and it does not compare; but unlike the sun, the light of my infancy was not blinding.

The love of it all enveloped me. There was nothing around me to hold me, like a crib or even the ground, yet I did not fear falling. There was nothing between me and everything else. I was connected to it all, and the all was limitless. These mental pictures have been burned into my memory and I do not know why. Every time I think back to it I always smile and I suddenly become inspired to write something about it. I just never have – until now. That was from the fear of me thinking I was crazy.

When I woke up from a nap, sometimes the beings would still be there and then fade out as if they were tucking me back in; other times they were not. But I never felt alone when they were not there. I did then, and do to this day, feel connected on all sides to something indescribable.

The male being never came to me in the crib, but felt more like an observer. I do not feel I needed him; I felt complete.

I have no memory of actual conversations, but I remember my mind being filled with what I would now call words. It was like we were old friends and they were making sure that I was comfortable in my new skin. I can remember these energies being around almost every time I was in the crib, but I don’t seem to have a memory of seeing them when I wasn't in the crib. Perhaps my mind was too busy with activity during the other times of the day. 

As I got older, the feeling of having my three crib companions around, simply faded. It was like getting dropped off at daycare and not noticing the parents had gone. I remember every year that went by after that, but I did not see or feel anything from the energies; not that I can currently remember, anyway.

Time went by and I became a teenager; but by that time I had completely forgotten about the beautiful feeling of love that enveloped me as a baby when my spiritual mothers were there. At the age of fifteen, I hated life and wanted to leave it as soon as possible. I just couldn't seem to find my place in the world. But every time I gave giving up any serious consideration, some part of me wouldn't let me do it; or some other influence would show up in my life and show me that giving up wasn't the way for me. There was a feeling that came over me so strongly, that I couldn't ignore it. I called it a voice, although I did not hear the vibration of vocal chords.

I was at war with the things my mother had taught me about God, and the things the church and society had taught me, because I just couldn't make my internal feelings match with what they were saying. I simply became tired of hearing them tell me, “Trust in the Lord,” when I asked questions that they did not have answers to. Around age 35, I submitted to the power within myself. The messages I write about now come from the voice within. The messages are not original. They are the same that others have spoken of before me, but go unnoticed by the masses.

Now, when I look back and add up all of the 2+2’s of my life, I can see that my spiritual guardians remained with me through every part of my life even though I was no longer aware of them; including my miserable teen years. They never left my side. They are still with me to this day – I now call them my Spirit Family. They guide me and flow through me freely. I often say, if I could wrap up the knowledge I now have and give it to myself every year for Christmas, it would be the best gift I have ever received.

Now, almost everything I write is an inspired message from the “Voice Within”. People do not always fully understand me, or the messages I write. They instantly compare my writings to the scriptures of the Bible. I have even had people ask me if I believe in God, the devil, hell, heaven or the Bible, just because my words don’t sound like what they are used to.

But I have learned to write what comes out, and to not concern myself with the belief or disbelief of others. Those who seek these messages will find them; and those who are not ready to listen, will simply turn away and continue through their chosen reality.

Everyone In Heaven Is Equal

Whenever something good happens in someone's life, the recognition often goes to a third party, as in a deity. Whenever something bad happens in someone's life, people are all too quick to take the credit for that, rather than pass it off to a third party deity. Why is it that people are so quick to give away their power when things are good and drench themselves in guilt when things go south? But when someone is aware of their greatness and power they are considered vain and arrogant; or when pleasure is experienced a demon must be involved because life shouldn't be enjoyed too much.

When something great happens in your life, you are fully responsible for it - the same is true for all of your experiences. Remember, your body is exactly where the Soul using the body has placed it. The Soul has not made any mistakes. All of your life, the good of it and the bad of it, has been the workings and power of the Soul, not a third party. You are not a drone or a robot; you are not a slave; you are a free Spirit. No religious or spiritual entity that came before did so in order to control you later from the afterlife. Your life is your own.

You can give your power away to whomever you wish, there is nothing wrong with that if it serves your consciousness to do so. But there is nothing Spiritually to be gained from it. You will not earn a special place among the other beings of love and light. You will not be exalted above everyone else, for in the All of Everything, every creature exists as one. None lives outside of another. Everyone is equal AND equally loved. Believing that you are not alone on your journey and looking to a third party for comfort can be great; but believing that someone else is responsible and in control of your happiness is not so great and deprives you of the joy of feeling, on a personal level, the things that the Soul can accomplish.
So as you go through this life, know that you are valuable, capable, lovable and powerful enough to achieve whatever thought crosses that mind of yours.

Making New Decisions

In order to have a new outcome in your life, you must first make a new decision. It is interesting how some people keep making the same decisions, yet keep expecting different outcomes. Should you be in a bad relationship, marriage or otherwise, in financial trouble or falling from grace in other respects; you can make a new choice at any time. All that is required a lot of times is the courage to do so.

Think of it like this: if you are in a boat in the middle of the ocean and you want to reach the shore; all the thinking of it and all the wanting of it will not draw you any closer to the shore. Instead, any new decision must be followed by a new action. This is self-evident since the shore can never come to you in the middle of the ocean no matter how much you want it to. You must pick up the paddles and head to your destination, or else your situation will only become stagnant – or perhaps even deteriorate.

After making a new choice and taking action, you may encounter a current that flows to where you want to go. Such a current is an indicator that you are (going with the flow) of the Universe. (Flowing) is a good thing since currents only flow in one direction. A current can never flow over the top of another in the opposite direction so if you are in the flow, you are headed in the right direction. You will notice that going with this natural flow will feel easier than your previous efforts of trying to contradict the current.

I have learned from experience to never feel sorry for myself when I make decisions with unfavorable outcomes because I am aware that I am the master of everything that appears in my life. There is not one single person I can blame (misfortune) on except myself. Even when things seem to happen to me, I now know that decisions I’ve made along the way have led me directly to where (misfortune) happened. 

Everywhere you and I both have stood on the planet has been orchestrated by our own thoughts. Each step we take leads us to where we are supposed to be unless your brain has been removed and someone else is making decisions for your body. That is why I have the word, misfortune, separated from the sentences in parenthesis; because there is nothing that is really amiss in our lives. 

Stand up and declare your new and brave decisions right now. Make it known to everyone with ears to listen. Pay attention because everything you need to know will begin to appear all around you once you have stated yourself. Then take the necessary actions to move your desires forward. While doing what needs to be done, remain in constant peace about it – being absolutely all right with the outcome. When you find peace in your decision and action - that will be the flow of the cosmos (God) carrying you through.

You Are A Secret Genius

Ever notice how those labeled as genius are not religious? That is because as knowledge increases, ideas with no foundation crumble. That is not to say that notions that cannot be physically seen have no foundation - because they do. In fact, most of what is (real) in the universe we perceive cannot be seen by human eyes. It simply turns out that as awareness grows, the limitations of the religious system can no longer sustain the load of fear and un-validated stories that religion has built into itself.

Through the expansion of thought, by means of education and experience, adolescent beliefs in monsters and saviors become transparent and fall away. Blood sacrifices (or crucifixions) in exchange for the saving of human life are revealed as the most primitive of understandings.

Considering how an All encompassing, All knowing and unconditionally loving deity works, and based on a history of causes and effects that have led humanity to where it currently is, it becomes self-evident that an authoritarian overlord that requires constant ego based attention and servitude is unreasonable and doesn't even fit within religions' own belief paradigm. That is to say, the structure cannot be both ways: the deity cannot be unconditionally loving AND wrathful. The deity cannot be holy and pure AND require blood sacrifices to be satiated. 

Let us take Dr. Albert Einstein, for example. Einstein said:

"I came, though the child of entirely irreligious (Jewish) parents, to a deep religiousness, which, however, reached an abrupt end at the age of twelve...I soon reached the conviction that much in the stories of the Bible could not be true.

"It seems to me that the idea of a personal God is an anthropological concept which I cannot take seriously…I cannot conceive of a God who rewards and punishes his creatures…

"One of the human impulses which develop religious belief is fear; and fear is a primitive understanding of causality; causing the fearful to invent supernatural beings analogous to themselves.

“The desire for love and support create a social and moral need for a supreme being; both these styles have an anthropomorphic concept of God."

I, JB Lewis, have been told that I do not believe Jesus died for the sins of man. This is true. I am not one of those people, however, I am not atheist. Yet, no one can explain why it is that every day of my life I have been enchanted with the unconditional love of All That Is. I do NOT subscribe to the notion that I am sinful and separated from the Source as religion teaches, yet, I feel closer to that Source now in my life than I ever did when I was living as a Christian. I always get what I desire. I always have good fortune laying itself out before me as I walk through my days, and I still do not believe that anyone has had to die for me. I do not pray to a god for forgiveness, help, mercy, wellness, or to get me through life. I am healthy (I am rarely ill), I have food, a place to live and my family's cup runneth over.

All the things that Christians believe they should have because of their faith, I have always had. I continue to have them. I tell you this as an illustration of what is possible for everyone. (God) is not waiting for me to come around to my senses and accept the death of another in place of my life. I do not live in torment, I do not live in fear, and I do not live with guilt. I am as happy as I have ever been - no religion required.

The same glorious life I live is available to everyone without obligation, without obedience to any written word, and without penalty for living life to the fullest of human ability. You were not created as a servant. You were created as an extension of (God). You are the very fingertips of All That Is and are meant to touch everything. Otherwise, you would not be Who You Are. You would be something else.

The life of freedom and peace is not exclusive to only a few. That is because (God) does not pick favorite races, people, or religious views. (God) does not offer promised lands flowing with milk and honey to some and not all. 

You are brilliant exactly as you are. You have a genius inside just waiting to emerge. Anyone that would tell you differently is blind and cannot help you in any way.
