Glorified Cosmic Consciousness

What lies beyond the profound realization of your own infinite, blissful nature? While establishing oneself in "Cosmic Consciousness" is a monumental shift, where the inner Self is known as unchanging, pure awareness, the journey of evolution continues. At this stage, the "I" has been rediscovered, but the world of people, nature, and everyday objects often remains the familiar, separate reality it has always been.

The next phase of growth is not about changing this inner certainty, but about refining how we perceive everything else. It is a journey of elevating our "perceiving ability" itself, learning to infuse the act of observation with such subtlety that we begin to perceive the underlying wholeness and singularity within the diversity of creation. The goal is to raise the perceived object to the same infinite value as the perceiving subject.

This marks the dawn of a sixth state of consciousness, often called Glorified or God Consciousness. It is not a foreign experience. Many have tasted glimpses of it- moments when, as the poet Wordsworth described, the ordinary world seems "apparelled in celestial light." Research suggests nearly half of all Americans have had such fleeting encounters with a radiant reality.

The shift into God Consciousness occurs when these glimpses solidify into a permanent mode of perception. One continues to abide in the silent, subjective reality of pure Self, while simultaneously witnessing objective reality transform into something glorious. The world itself hasn't changed; your capacity to perceive its deeper truth has expanded. You begin to see the perfect order and divine intelligence shimmering within every aspect of creation-in every leaf, every face, every passing cloud.

This refinement of perception naturally and powerfully catalyzes the growth of love. Consider how your heart responds to profound beauty: a masterpiece of art, a symphony, or a mathematical equation that reveals the elegant structure of the universe. In those moments, love arises not as an emotion we manufacture, but as an irresistible, appreciative resonance.

In the fundamental triad of existence, the Observer, the Process of Observing, and the Observed, love is the verb. It is the dynamic, connecting force. Love is the living process that bridges the gap between the knower and the known, weaving them into a unified whole. It is the sacred link that reveals the underlying oneness of all things, binding the infinite Self to an infinitely valuable creation.
