One indication that we are in a shift in consciousness is the number of blogs and web sites that have popped up on the internet. I think the energy we set, as you have mentioned, will move us along further on our journey. Thank you for your wonderful post. Namaste, Sherry I just wrote a post called "It's Just Energy" and would love your feedback. I believe that we are definitely in the middle of a shift.

I've looked back at your blog entries through 2007 and plan to read them more carefully. Although I've read 180 books on mysticism in the five major religions and met 19 true mystics in 12 countries, your approach is probably the closest to mine. There is no "one true way"; each person must find what is right for them.

Albert Einstein revolutionized physics in 1905 with his Special Theory of Relativity. His formula, E=mc^2, states that energy equals mass at the speed of light squared. The speed of all light is 186,262 miles per second. That means all particles of matter, e.g. atoms, contain vast potential energy, e.g. one gram can produce 25 million kWh of electricity: the foundation for developing nuclear power. Perhaps we can reinterpret, and adjust, that formula to help us to better understand the relationships between divine Essence, matter and consciousness: E=mc^f(x). Unlike the speed of light, which is a constant, there are now no exact measurements for consciousness. In this hypothetical formula, basic consciousness may be of insects, to the second power of animals and to the third power the rational mind of humans. The fourth power is suprarational consciousness of mystics, when they intuit the divine essence in perceived matter. Divine essence might be felt as spiritual energy, an interpretation acceptable to many religions and mystics. Matter is the mass, the apparent physical makeup of this Universe. As spiritual awareness, suprarational consciousness could figuratively be “seeing the light” or, more literally, penetrating the cloud of ignorance that prevents people from realizing the divine. Some mystics speak of awareness of a divine light; Einstein himself said that the “most beautiful and profound emotion we can experience is the sensation of the mystical.” Note: The fifth power of consciousness may be samadhi, satori, etc. [mathematical representations for "squared" or (fx) cannot be written in HTML] In my e-book at www.suprarational.org is a chapter “A divine formula?”

]]> Comment on Healing with the Emotional and Intuitive Body in Heart Consciousness by Danny http://blog.peterborysjr.com/2009/10/31/healing-with-the-emotional-and-intuitive-body-in-heart-consciousness/#comment-3968 Danny Mon, 11 Jan 2010 09:57:11 +0000 http://blog.peterborysjr.com/2009/10/31/healing-with-the-emotional-and-intuitive-body-in-heart-consciousness/#comment-3968 I believe that heart consciousness felt as pure love initiates a transformation of one's being that leads to spiritual progress in the most automatic and natural way possible. Any practice that allows the flow of love is a good candidate for developing heart consciousness. Of course, there is much that fits within that category that wouldn't be considered a spiritual practice. Those ways can be the best as there is freedom from expectation.

This simple event has had far-reaching repercussions in terms of the development of my own consciousness. Moving beyond human perception of time and space requires that we step back from how we have been conditioned to live in order to choose to perceive differently.

]]> Comment on A Synthesis of Mystical Transformation and Creative Intention by Peter Borys, Jr. http://blog.peterborysjr.com/2008/08/30/a-synthesis-of-mystical-transformation-and-creative-intention/#comment-852 Peter Borys, Jr. Tue, 30 Sep 2008 06:21:52 +0000 http://blog.peterborysjr.com/2008/08/30/a-synthesis-of-mystical-transformation-and-creative-intention/#comment-852 Liara, Thank you for your comment on the importance of personal experience in the journey of transformation. Your insights show the wisdom that our healing and transformation requires both knowledge and experience. Practice needs to become a unity of action, sensation, feeling, understanding, and heart-centered awareness. We learn by opening to the Divine within our heart beyond images and concepts, by observing our thoughts and emotions, and by understanding how our consciousness manifests in our relationships and actions. Transformation to the true self can be furthered by a creative mysticism that incorporates the healing journey of our fear-based consciousness and traumatic wounds. In this way, mystical consciousness is lived in our practical life of relationships, intention, creativity, and work in the world. Liara,
