GOD CONSCIOUSNESS

"Your life is a journey you must travel with a deep consciousness of God." (1 Peter 1:18, The Message)

God consciousness is the most primal form of consciousness. And the longer we journey, the more aware of His presence we become, until we see Him everywhere all the time. Spiritual maturity has nothing to do with circumstances. It has everything to do with consciousness. A relationship with Christ doesn’t always change our circumstances, but it does change the way we see ourselves, see others, and see God. Why? Because we see with our souls. We become less self-conscious and more God-conscious. It's almost like a second childhood. As we capture a childlike sense of wonder, we perceive everyone and everything for what it really is: a miracle.
