When your mind and heart are truly open abundance will flow to you effortlessly and easily.

Question:

The other day while meditating I came to the realization that I am not my thoughts or my beliefs but I am at my core pure awareness and that everyone else in the universe consists of that same pure awareness. This awareness however did not make me feel enlightened, instead I find myself wondering if creativity and unique expression can coexist within a universal consciousness. Is my existential crisis reaction to this awareness unusual? Is this just my ego struggling for survival?

Response:

Universal consciousness is the fountainhead of all creation, so the creative expression of diversity is not only compatible with pure consciousness, creativity requires it. I think you were contemplating the homogenous, monochromatic nature of unbounded awareness in its state of pure potentiality, not making the connection that every actual manifestation of creation implies that it existed in an unmanifest state of potentiality beforehand.  This is like the creative thoughts and insights that arise from the silent state of awareness that is your source of thought. That silent core consciousness is beyond thought, yet it is the origin of all thought, feeling and creativity. Our individual creative expression is as limitless as the cosmos itself.
