The Evolutionary Consciousness Day held at Trevaccoon proved to be an inspirational day for us all. About 50 people came from places near and far, with a wide range of interests and involvement in all sorts of different organisations, but united in the common theme of ‘evolutionary consciousness’. Trevaccoon hosted us beautifully, and the weather was kind. Much of the time was spent in groups sharing from our own awareness of the global shift in consciousness that seems to be happening. Many positive connections were made which we carry forward.
Some notes from the two main speakers give a flavour of the day:
David Karchere: Many feel caught in the spin of the world, with all the financial and ecological implications at present. There is a risk for humanity, but something marvellous also – there needs to be a shift in consciousness and awareness that we are not individuals, we are connected, we are one, and our fulfilment and destiny is together. The way in which we individually think and act affects the energy field for all of us. There needs to be a shift from the victim mentality of “The world is happening to me” to “We are happening to the world”. To be thankful is challenging, but we must live with an ‘attitude of gratitude’, and transform ourselves from victims to creators. We are creating something and we have choices about what we thing and feel – if we create consciously we can bring blessing. There is a lever in each of us that needs to move so that we can create consciously.
Don MacGregor: Don spoke of three areas of scientific understanding that have shifted his religious views. Firstly, the idea from quantum physics that consciousness preceeds matter, and the prime mover in the universe is consciousness. It is the ground of being from which everything emerges, like a divine matrix. The potential for the human being is that when we can put the ego, the self-conscious nature, down, we can become one again with that divine consciousness. Secondly, epigenetics has shown that we have a huge influence over which of our genes are ‘switched on’ by what we think and feel, and by the energetic fields of others as well. This opens the door to new ways of thinking about subtle healing energies, the power of prayer and intention, and places the responsibility for our own health firmly back in our laps. Thirdly, the theory of morphic resonance, that everything we do affects the morphic field for humanity, has profound implications for interpreting the life and death of Jesus the Christ as well as many other spiritual persons. He then outlined some of the ways in which these theories have changed his thinking about Christianity. Essentially, it is the path of transformative love, living from a core of compassionate consciousness that is God.
