Morning Musings # 141 Is God Awareness necessary for Peace & Harmony? Internally and Externally.

Is the #awareness of #god necessary for a happy, #blissful #contented life? I would say, Yes! But, the awareness of God has to be #internally . Not as God in the form of a higher being than yourself. It has to be the #understanding and awareness in #consciousness of #divinity / God, what we consider in earth terms a higher form of Consciousness, a higher form of thought. But everything is interconnected, so the connection has to be made in our #psychology , in our #psyche in our #soul AS that, not as an overlord or an over God separate from us, but AS us.

Why is this knowing, this awareness of divinity #essential to the contented and #overcoming #life . Well, without the #connection to the divine we are #ruled by our #lower #nature ego awareness, the #ego Self. Everything is #one Self, but there are different awareness levels within our psyche. And that's why I refer to it as a 'lower natured' awareness, the Ego self.

When the connection to the 'Oneness with God' is not made, then we have... our life is ruled by the lower natured self. And that 'self' is like a... it is only aware of lower natured states of existence and awareness. It's very aware of #survival , it's very aware of #danger , it's very aware of #fear ... it's in a constant state of #defence , #survival . And when we are only aware of that state, we create #war , #adversity because we seek to #protect our #state of being.

And as we see in the world, that's why we have #wars , because one #country thinks they need the #resources of another country, and so they go to war. This is also true on our psycho personal levels, we are at war and adversity with other people. Often in our own family, because we seek to protect our person-hood, our self-image, our self awareness in this lower state. And we think we have to constantly be #onguard against other people's being a threat to us, by putting us down or diminishing us. So that is when we live #disconnected from higher divine awareness, we're all our lives contending with this lower nature of "survival".

And that's where #addictions and lack and inadequacy are generated from, and it just leads to a life that is always "wanting"... always in want of something, never #satisfied ... because it can't be satisfied without having the #peaceful influence of the higher awareness of #contentment .

So that's why it is important to have an awareness of the divine to reach a peaceful inner state of being and consequently a peaceful external state of being in the world. So people need to make connection to the Divine, to the I AM... which is YOU in a higher state of awareness!
