Sea of Consciousness

There is a sea of One Universal Consciousness which has no center and no periphery, which extends from eternity to eternity and within which are merged the individual consciousness of all awakened Beings. This divinity enfolds us within itself. Within it is our Breath.

It is our Being. It is our environment and it is our Cause, and yet each one of us, in some strange inexplicable way is the Heart Centre of that Sea of Consciousness, and to the aspiring soul who would attain serenity we can but say that it is awareness, and an awakening, and an unfoldment.

In the tightly closed bud, the heart center of the flower knows naught of the worlds around it and finds the close confines of the enwrapped petals as the outer periphery of its world. But as the forces from within itself push forth in its progressive stages of growth, and as the forces from without play upon the unfolding flower, the heart center or consciousness of the bloom becomes aware of the great world around it, that always was, and which enfolds and surrounds it.

So it is with humanity today who stands with clenched fist and tight-shut eyelids within the narrow periphery of their own world, which is the effect of the thoughts and feelings of their imaginings. When, however, the heart center of this Being begins to awaken and push forth the Divine Plan, coupled with the pressure of the Cosmic Moment from without, then gradually the narrowed eyelids are forced to open and the bands to relax, and so the Divine impulse of this Being causes them to unfold until we find our self a flowering bloom in the World of Light far beyond that of our own wild and inconceivable imagining.
