What If?— A January Flurry

I recently came upon a sentence that blew my mind! 🤯 It caused me to re-examine everything I thought I knew about the subject. Which then led into a series of What ifs…What if everything I thought I knew was not correct?

So I've been looking at things differently now and I have decided that 2025 is going to be the first of many years of What ifs for me! And that is my theme for this year! This post is the beginning of a series that I will post throughout the year; I'm committing to at least one a month. Perhaps next month I will go into the details of the original What if that started this momentum, but today I am going to talk about my newest What if as it seems very relevant to me right now.

Last night I was listening to someone speak about some Gnostic beliefs.  Interestingly enough these teachings seem to be, from first glance anyways, focused more holistically– offering a more in depth account of the events leading up to and the people surrounding the life of Jesus. I am definitely interested to hear more!  The thing that I heard that sparked this new What if in me was (and I'm paraphrasing my memory of it here) that it is believed that John the Baptist masterfully called the Holy Spirit down into the water in which he baptized Jesus and in doing so he called the Holy Spirit down in to all of the waters on Earth, infusing them forever with the Holy Spirit! And that that is why we can feel the sacred energy in the waters and the nature that it runs through. Wow! Just Wow!

As I was thinking about it this morning, I thought what if that is really true? What would that change? How would that make my life different? What difference would there be in the way I viewed things and experienced them?  What would that mean?

Well, I think of the Holy Spirit as interchangeable with and as another way to describe Christ consciousness. So from here on out I am going to view it through that lens.  Incidentally, when I started thinking about it this morning I was in the shower, which is often where I have inspiring thoughts, as I know many do.  There are scientific explanations for this phenomenon surrounding negative ions in the water, but as we know many scientifically explained things are descriptions of spiritual things just in a different language. 

What if the reason we tend to have such spiritually enlightening sessions in water is because it is infused with Christ consciousness and so it is literally inspiring us in the root sense of the word? Inspire comes from a Latin word meaning “to breathe into.” What better opportunity to breathe into us than while showering down around us, encasing us? Which now brings me to thinking about how every breath we take in contains droplets of moisture (aka water) that are in the air.  And of course this is even more so while we're breathing in the shower, or under a waterfall, or in a steaming spring or bath…oh and what about super moist places like the rainforest? That could be a fun place to go and be inspired! Or even more ordinary places like in the depths of a hot, humid southeastern summer…or in the midst of a record breaking snowy Florida winter day!!!

And this is just the tip of the iceberg (frozen water…lol)— water is everywhere! And, WOW, the more I think about this it sounds a lot like something else I know to be everywhere, 💗 wink, wink!  And maybe that is why so many things referring to consciousness have taken on the language of water; we have streams of consciousness and are encouraged to go with the flow, to name a few.  And now I am remembering about the studies that have shown how water holds memory and the findings of Dr. Masaru Emoto! 🤯🤯

I started thinking about all of the ways that water is in my life. Every morning am I being showered with Christ consciousness? Am I bringing Christ consciousness into my mouth each time I brush my teeth? And then when I drink water! Am I imbibing the Christ consciousness?  I wash my dishes and clothes and clean my house with this Holy Spirit? And speaking of washing dishes, maybe that explains why you can have such a great meditative experience while washing dishes!

There are so many more ways that water shows up in our life I can't even begin to ponder or touch on all of them today. So, I will leave much territory for you to explore.  Here is one last last stream: The human body is said to be composed of about 60% water. What if I held this as my confirmation that the Christ consciousness is alive, and I could even say in motion, in everyone? How would that change the way that I interact with every person? Would it inspire me to try to interact with the Christ consciousness within each person? To awaken it? To draw it out? How would I go about doing this?  Would I look to the Law of Attraction, knowing that I draw out of others the actions and reactions that are a match to the way I think about or focus on them? Or better yet, would I call upon the Law of As Within, So Without and real-ize this principle by allowing the Christ consciousness to work through me, inviting it to express through all of those I see!

And why stop with people? Why not recognize this consciousness and all other beings and in all things?  Will this new knowing about the water all around me change the way I look at and think about all water– even the water that floods? Will it change the way I think about hurricanes and tsunamis and torrential downpours and blizzards? So much to explore…

So in conclusion, what if this is a great Truth? And even more, what if it doesn't matter if it's true at all— since we already know that everything is Love…can I not look at all these things the same way just based on that? 

I hope this has inspired you to curiosity and to begin your own stream of What ifs! Watch for more of mine to come! I would love to hear your thoughts if you would like to share 💗
