Hello My Dears, I Am Universal Mother.
*Arms open in embrace*

I come to talk with you about consciousness. My Children, you asked to experience awareness. It was quite a request. Thank God, I am up to the task. *Chuckling*

Consciousness is awareness. Faced with the task, the first requirement to create the fulfillment of your desires was to create existence. In order to be conscious, I had to provide something for you to be conscious of. A consciousness with nothing to be conscious of, would be a contradiction in terms. Existence and consciousness, they go hand in hand. They relate to each other. Can't experience one, without the other. So I manifested my Self as a Universal Womb with a view, and existence came into being. I am the Mother of all Creation. All of your adventures in consciousness, take place within me. We are not, nor have ever been, separate. My Presence is with you, is you, always.

Answer the question, "Who are you?" Your response will always be in some form of a statement expressing "I am (fill in the blank)". "I am"..., is an identification and expression of awareness, specifically, self awareness. With the proclamation of "I", comes into creation all such ideas as "me", "mine", "you", "yours", "we", and "ours". These are all words used to describe your experiences of awareness and identity.

Many have asked the question, "Who am I?" The answer is always the same, "Who do you choose to be?" The question returned to you, illuminates your opportunity to experience relating in any way you choose. In what way do you choose to experience relating to Creation?
Many responded with the desire to explore all possibilities.
Courageous and full of heart are all My Children.

Together, we created forgetfulness, in order to explore the depths of all possibilities. Through forgetting, the opportunity to experience relating to existence as "separate" was created. Now, in answer to your call, we are ending the game of "separate" and putting away the game board. "Take a tool. Use a tool. Put the tool away."

You are now in the process of experiencing the expansion of your self-awareness. You are remembering your Self. You know the journey, though you may not yet remember it. Like any typical Mother, I am just here to remind you and give you comfort when required. I kiss away the memory of all "booboos."

Remember back to your experience of human infancy. At birth, you experienced traveling from the Womb of timelessness, into the Creation of time and space. You began your adventure of physical existence.
clothed in form of matter, the way opened before you to experience such awareness' as "cold", "warm", "soft", and "fuzzy". immediately upon birth, you were embraced, and came to know the experience of closeness, the physical intimacy of comfort. You came to know the awareness of "touch". Even as you began your journey of being separate from me, another aspect of Myself was there to greet you. Having forgotten me, I was still there with you.

Being focused in a new creation of physical form, your internal systems were all new. At first, you were only able to see a relatively short distance away from you. Your sight was blurry, as you learned to focus your awareness through physical eyes which could "see". By the time you were a couple of weeks old, you could focus, and began to absorb the awareness of the world around you. You began to notice other creations of matter..., "things". You became aware of motion....some things moved from one place to another. You discovered those wiggly things called fingers, then next, you discovered those fingers were yours. You directed their movement. You became aware of the difference between animate and inanimate things. Some things could move on their own. Some things could not. Some forms were invested with a Will of their own. Some forms were not. Your awareness of yourself expanded.

You discovered your toes and your feet, your legs and your belly. You began learning how to direct and coordinate their movements. Desire to explore and relate to the world around you, provided the fuel for yourself discovery. Your Will was motivated. You learned how to roll and wiggle your whole body. Sounds became fascinating as you learned you could make them. with both ends.

With the discovery of "arms", came the adventure of learning to reach.
With the discovery of "hands", came the adventure of learning to grasp.
With the discovery of "knees", came the adventure of learning to crawl.
Through your sense of "taste", you experienced "sweet", "salty", and "sour'.

With each discovery, came an expanded awareness of yourself and a realization of how many ways you could relate to the world around you. The desire to know, has been the fuel for inspiring all your adventures of experience. To know Self, you went exploring. As it was in the beginning, so has it been throughout all realms of Creation.

There came a moment in your adventures in crawling around, when you happened to look up. Noticing shiny and sparkly things of bright colors and fascinating shapes beyond your reach, you began to pull yourself up upon your feet. At first, you used tables and chairs, and other people's legs to assist your learning. You toddled, as you learned balance. Eventually, you learned to walk unassisted. Running, bouncing, and hopping came quickly after that.

To you, life was a great adventure. A great big world to explore and your desires instantaneously met by those who were your custodians and caretakers. If you were thirsty, you were given drink. If you were hungry, you were given food. If you were uncomfortable with the mess in your drawers, your bottom was wiped clean and new drawers provided. If bored, you were given diversions to arouse your attention. All you ever had to do, was cry.

Then one day your whole world changed, or so it seemed to you. You were told "no". Secure in your role of domestic dictator, such a thing as "no" was beyond your grasp to understand. You cried when you heard it, feeling very upset as the security of your identity as dictator came crashing down upon you. You protested, babbling on about "not being loved", simply due to the experience of not getting your way. It didn't work. No was still no. Mommy still wouldn't let you go play in the street. Mommy still wouldn't let you explore certain things. From the limited level of your awareness, you decided you weren't loved. You experienced feeling hurt.

As time progressed, you experienced many different forms of hurting.
You experienced hurt when you fell during your adventures in discovering gravity. You experienced hurt when you ran into the wall during your adventures in discovering momentum. You experienced hurt when you stuck your finger in the socket during your adventures in discovering electricity. Eventually one day, all this accumulated awareness of hurt, created the experience of fear within you, as you began to learn to relate cause and effect. Due to fear of hurt, you began to be careful when climbing. Due to fear of hurt, you began to watch where you were going. Due to fear of hurt, you kept away from electrical sockets.

Your difficulty was in the limited understanding of the world around you. You really didn't know how to relate to it very well. While you knew the surface of things, you didn't really understand their nature.
Somewhere along the way, since your caretakers had often said "no" to things which turned out to hurt you, you related the hurt to punishment given by your caretakers. After all, from your limited perspective you had already decided they really didn't love you. How could they? They kept saying "no". You had related love with getting things your way.

When you burned your finger after touching the hot stove, you thought the hurt was mommy's punishment, since she had told you not to do it. If mommy really loved you, she would have let you touch the stove and you wouldn't have suffered the hurt. Such was the way you related cause and effect.

What you did not understand, was the love of mommy when she said "no."
Mommy's job as caretaker was to promote your survival, so you would live long enough to reach a level of understanding where "traffic" and "heat" could be explained. Focused in your awareness of "you", you gave little thought to the awareness of others. You were on your own adventure of self awareness and the world was yours as far as you were concerned.

Next came the startling discovery you were expected to learn how to do things for yourself. You were taught how to hold your own spoon and somehow manage to get your food into your mouth, yourself. Potty training began. You faced the end of someone else wiping your bottom. You learned how to dress yourself. You learned how to wash yourself. You learned how to clean up the mess you made in your own room. My, how you protested. My, how you resisted..., crying, wailing, arguing and whining all the way. You desired to do as you willed. You just didn't desire to deal with the consequences. These experiences added fuel to your feelings of being unloved. What you never noticed, was the help and assistance which was lovingly given you all the way.

The joy of your journey of self awareness has always been in adventure and discovery. What you did not understand, was that your ability to be responsible for yourself, has always been related to how much freedom and independence of action you may experience. Your experience in relating to the world has grown larger as you have grown greater in your understanding of that world. Your world was very limited in that playpen.

Look back upon on your experiences of hurt with new understanding.
Perceive the events and conditions from a perspective of love, instead of from your fears of the lack of it. As your Mother, I tell you my joy is experienced in your realization of yours. It is trust in this many of My Children have lacked. This lack of trust is a holdover from your memory of the past. When you did not know. When you did not understand. When you had forgotten about Me and your Father. You may let it go now. Trust your Loving Parents to provide what you need, to create the experiences of your joy. You are still very much like children and don't always know what will bring you the greatest joy of experience. Lucky for you, we do. We know and understand you, as we know and understand Ourselves.

With much Love, Mommy
