"Do we each create our own reality or does it all come out of one unified consciousness?" "Is enlightenment real or is it real only if we believe it is?" My new metaphysical novel (NOT self-published), which contains an expressive arts self-help component, was #1 on Amazon.ca's new releases in the New Age Self Help category for weeks. It explores these questions, and the meeting place of nondualism and metaphysical thought. What do you think?

I think, ultimately, one consciousness. But we perceive ourselves as separate entities, because we want to experience that. And as separate entities, we do make great strides in creating our own reality. Best, Celia

I like the simple way you put this, Celia. I agree! I'm interested to know who the "we" is in your second sentence. And I'm also curious about your choice of language in "great strides"... Thanks for elaborating/clarifying.

Sorry for the delay. I took a break from Ĺ·±¦ÓéŔÖ for the holidays and beyond.

The "we" I mean as an all-inclusive term for everyone. And "great strides" would mean that we live differently when we move toward Awakening or Christ-consciousness. We see glimpses before we actually experience this blessing of Awakening, and so we know that the passage can be gentle if our glimpses are gentle.

Most cordially, Celia

Beautiful. Thank you for your response!

I had the honour of being a guest blogger on Spiritual Media Blog. Here's a link to my blog, "Wake From the Dream or Create Your Own Reality?", just to add to the conversation!

I read your post and found it very inspiring. I also read Jane Roberts' Seth and am making my way through the 9-volume early works. Your point about non-dualism and Seth possibly being distinctive/different is quite astute.

Hi Celia! I'm very glad you liked my post. (I bet you'd like my novel, too!) Thank you for reading it and for your kind words. Although Seth isn't in my novel (except in my bio!), Anamika's metaphysical teachings share many commonalities. They resonate with readers of Seth (and Abraham and Bashar, etc). And yes, that "point" is the crux of the philosophical side of the novel!

I believe there is only one consciousness—an infinite awareness that expresses itself in everything. But because this infinite awareness can't experience itself in isolation, it breaks itself down into countless human forms, and through these forms, it experiences life from every angle imaginable.

As part of the human journey, we forget this. We begin identifying with the limited self—the ego, the body, the mind—and we believe that’s all we are. And from that place of limited identity, we create from unconsciousness. It’s like we’re on autopilot, reacting to life rather than intentionally shaping it.

But the moment we remember who we truly are, everything changes. We realize we’re not just the human walking through life—we’re the awareness *behind* it, the creator *of* it. When we remember this, we can begin to consciously choose our experiences rather than be dragged through them. We become the authors of our reality, creating with intention, clarity, and purpose instead of stumbling around in the dark.

The journey of life, then, isn’t about adding anything new to ourselves. It’s about stripping away the illusions of separateness, remembering our true nature, and stepping back into the power of creation with full awareness. The power to consciously create has always been ours—we just have to wake up to it. And once we do, there’s no limit to what we can create.

Dear Jenni,

I hear you.. we all know, deep inside, that our souls are eternal and we are all connected, this is true.

The trouble is, being humans, we like things that are " tangible" and those that there are not, are hard for us to deal with.

Like, when we say " no limit to what we could achieve"; we want specific examples of those achievements, so we could relate to them- do you agree?? :o)

I absolutely agree with Jenni. Even as a child i knew that union and lived it. I am now 78 and feel this deeply. We are never alone for we walk with and as part of creator.

Dr. Jasmin,
It’s all part of the human journey, isn't it? Before we’re born, we’re these pure, boundless, creative spirits. We are everything—we have it all. Think about it: while we’re in the womb, everything is just handed to us—nurturing, care, love, nourishment. We don’t lift a finger, and yet, every need is magically met. We’re floating in this perfect cocoon of abundance, without a single worry in the world.

Then, boom! We’re born. And all of a sudden, that endless flow of everything-we-could-ever-want gets cut off. And as babies, we're probably like, “Wait, what just happened? What did I do wrong? How did I go from having it all to now having to scream just to get fed or be held?� So, we spend the next seven years or so trying to figure out how to get back to that place, that feeling of ease and being taken care of. But now we’ve got to "earn" it, or so we’re taught. We start learning all these unspoken rules—what we have to do, what we shouldn’t do—to get love, attention, and our needs met.

This, right here, is where the unconscious programming kicks in. All those little lessons we pick up from our family, culture, and environment? They become the lenses through which we see ourselves and the world. And it doesn’t stop there—we’re carrying beliefs, programs, and traumas passed down from up to seven generations before us. It’s not just our own conditioning; it’s the echo of everyone who came before us. And here’s the kicker: this programming tells us that in order to feel secure, we need to see the tangible, physical results first. We need proof before we believe in abundance, success, love.

This is where we get stuck—identifying solely with the human, "limited" version of ourselves. We forget that we’re actually infinite creative beings, that we were never cut off from having it all. We just bought into the illusion that we had to earn it, that we were somehow incomplete or not enough. But when we start waking up from that programming, when we realize we’re still that infinite creative spirit, we can break free from those unconscious patterns. We remember that the real power is within us to consciously create, to choose our experience, and to tap back into that limitless flow that was always ours.

Thank you, Jenni :o)
