The idea in life is to be conscious of all actions and not to let ourselves slip into those unconscious states of auto pilot. If we are unconscious we miss life, it drives by us and we sit there in a little bubble of unconscious awareness. Once we are fully conscious and INSIDE life we are in psychic visionary communication with all that is. Everything becomes a mystical experience. When you are able to stay conscious, the whole world opens up as an oracle and spirit is communicating to us through everything. Every thing we see becomes a sign from spirit, every animal is teaching us something. Every person we run into is a spirit messenger. Every plant. Every tree. Every bird. Everything is speaking to us guiding us into spiritual evolution. The guru is the whole universe and its coming through everything. There is no coincidental alignment. Its all significantly coming into our life to show us something and teach us something but we can only really hear and see the message if we are really conscious. As soon as we slip into unconsciousness we pass all of that vision up and it doesn't matter if we get hit in the head with it we can still miss the signs. In the moment we experience this its all speaking to us in psychic language. this is what a shaman hears and sees and can interpret.
There are these tantric practices called micro-practices. In which throughout the day we take moments to check how conscious or unconscious we are being. If you do it 5 times a day you will be very conscious for 5 times throughout the day. Once you are doing it 100 times a day most of your day you are conscious. This is all it takes to develop consciousness. DO NOT LIVE ON AUTO PILOT. EMBRACE THE MYSTICAL REALITY OF THE PRESENT EXPERIENCE.
