Are You The Chosen One

Know that you are one of the chosen few when you realise the need for expanding your consciousness, and keeping on the spiritual path determinedly, says Sandeep Pundit

Have you come across a situation where you desire for things to happen, but they increasingly keep eluding you? We know from our real-life experiences that this is a daily reality in the materialistic world. However, when you are a seeker in the spiritual dimension, you have a different incessant yearning, which, at the superficial level, looks the same as the above but, at a deeper level, is much more intense, unselfish, compelling and makes you go within yourself.

My observation and experience say that it has three stages:

Realising the need for expanding the consciousness
Getting to the right people/situations
Being ready to absorb the Universal messages and expand consciousness

Stage 1: Realising the need for expanding consciousness

Everything has been going well in your life for the last 10–15 years. Your personal life and your career are flourishing. Till yesterday, everything looked hunky-dory. But suddenly, something from within starts knocking and questioning the fundamentals of life. Can I keep going like this for the rest of my life? Am I really making a difference to this planet? Have I added meaning to my life or have I just been drifting till now? What is the unique skill that the Supreme Energy has bestowed on me to be used for this world? How will I be peaceful and joyful?

Realise, when this little voice from within starts questioning you, that you are one of those chosen ones who have got a chance to expand consciousness. Most of us are not this fortunate.

Let me quote Margaret Newman, a living legend of the American Academy of Nursing, who authored the theory of health as expanding consciousness:

“Every person in every situation, no matter how disordered and hopeless it may seem, is part of the universal process of expanding consciousness—a process of becoming more of oneself, of finding greater meaning in life, and of reaching new dimensions of connectedness with other people and the world.”

Let us understand it clearly. We are not human beings having a spiritual experience but are spiritual beings having a human experience for a brief period. And we all are interdependent on each other, whether animate or inanimate object. There is a design of this Universe and we all are nuts and bolts of this huge machine called the Universe.

Stage 2: Getting to the right people/situations

This stage could be a bit tricky because most of us do not know what it entails to get to the right person/situation, which can lead us to the final stage of the expanding consciousness. To make it very simple—we just need to be correctly aligned with the Universal Life Energy.

What is Universal Life Energy? There is a consciousness that animates and connects all life. Some call it ‘Universal Life Energy’ or ‘Unity Consciousness’.

Now, the next question is: How do we align with the Universal Life Energy?

When we raise our vibration and increase our energy sensitivity, a natural flow of the moment can be perceived as a sense of ‘rightness’. When we follow this flow, we move into alignment with the Universe, and life feels increasingly harmonious. We feel successful, fulfilled, and abundant.

For this to happen, we need to be physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually on the correct path. We all understand when we are standing on the ‘wrong’ side of life and still do not have the willingness to cross the fence and come over to the ‘right’ path. Be it as simple as eating right, behaving right, having kindness for others, helping each other grow with a truthful spirit, or trying to reduce negative traits progressively throughout life.

If your awareness about yourself is sustained over a consistent period and you make sure to ‘align with the Universal Life Energy’, then it’s a given that you are heading towards the right people/situations meant to be on your path, to elevate you to the spiritual dimension by expanding consciousness.

Here again, please bear in mind that the people/situations won’t always be of the pleasing types; often, they would be challenging the status quo of your life. For example, you might lose either a prized possession or a close relationship. The ‘best job’ as defined by you might just slip out of your hand mysteriously or you might find yourself very lonely in life, on the verge of insanity. This is the time to realise that you are the chosen one!

Stage 3: Being ready to absorb the Universal messages and, finally, to expand consciousness

You would have an innate desire to have a spiritual experience. Along with this, you would encounter people/situations who challenge the status quo of your life. However, if you do not have the courage to walk on that path in the spiritual dimension, you would narrowly miss experiencing the life where the symphony of harmony plays. Unknowingly, you might not be able to persist with stage 2 described above and show signs of withdrawing back to the materialistic plane because that is always the easiest option all along this journey of expanding consciousness.

The trick is to sustain full awareness of what is happening within you and not get daunted by the experiences that challenge you and get lured by the idea of withdrawing into the materialistic plane. Rather, keep moving along; it might pull you out of your comfort zone but you already know that what lies on the other side is much more marvellous and grand. So, keeping the goal in mind, try and dance in the symphony of ‘challenges’ thrown at you. The ‘rising up’ after so-called ‘defeats’ on this journey will re-energise you for a longer time and will keep you going far beyond what you had originally set out for.

The most important thing to realise here is that you are the chosen one to have reached the final stage for expanding consciousness. Because of this, you are not going to let it slip out of your hand at the ultimate stage. The Universal messages might just flow into you anytime and you must be able to receive them in full.

You might get an altogether different meaning to your life. You no more feel like drifting in life. Also, you have the most suited profession for yourself which aligns with your life-path. The new relationships are sparkling and making you shine in life. Abundance is just flowing in from sources that you never imagined. Does it sound too good to be true? But don’t you see how much you have laboured for this? And you truly deserve it because YOU ARE THE CHOSEN ONE!

Some mindful actions required:

Practice meditation consistently and regularly
Avoid being in negative energy zones (people/ situations)
Align completely with the Universal energy (no wrongdoing)
Be yourself, increasingly, every day (throw away the masks)
Keep the company of people who are true to themselves

YOU HAVE FINALLY EXPANDED CONSCIOUSNESS AND ARE LIVING A LIFE WHICH CAN BE CALLED ‘SYMPHONY OF HARMONY’
