Short story: The Guru, and the Reverend

Tweet

The New Age Guru, Sri Anton Breshnev, was discussing the subject of consciousness, over lunch, with a local religious leader, Reverend Brian Trellis. The Guru said that: "Consciousness can utilise different pathways in us that we can then use to enhance our awareness in life." "Consciousness can use the body, the mind, the heart, and our emotions, but what comes through to us from our soul, is not from consciousness, but from its connected alliance, through the energy of love, with God." Reverend Brian replied: "Consciousness leads to awareness of mind, body, and emotion, but the heart is not involved with consciousness, but with love." "Our soul is not the same as consciousness, which is a vehicle which the body/mind utilises to enhance its awareness in that body/mind. Our soul lives on love, and only while in the body/mind does it need this attachment, consciousness, so that it can better find its way through life." "A high level of spirituality, usually does come from a high level of consciousness, but not always so. A simple person can sometimes be highly spiritual, without being highly evolved consciously." The Guru countered this with this remark: "We talk of God consciousness being both the highest level of consciousness, and of spirituality too, rolled into one." "Some aspects of consciousness cannot be experienced by the human itself, through their body/mind, but require the soul to be active in you, for you to experience them in your life." "Consciousness is a tool of our body/mind that allows it to understand the love that we are, and feel, and can be, in our soul." "God lives above consciousness, but created it as a tool, that we can use to better understand, and relate to him, in our lives." "We can love God, but consciousness allows us to begin to understand him." Reverend Brian then added this final statement, and they concluded their chat, as their lunch was now finished. "God is a God of love, but he needs to speak to his people via a conscious rendering of love into words understandable by his creation, and so a mind was created as a counterpart to the soul, which when the spirit fills with itself, increases consciousness in a person to the degree where they then can live highly from different aspects of spirit, consciously alive in them then too." The men then parted company, until they would meet again in another month, for another energetic talk, which both parties to the conversation both seemed to enjoy, immensely. They both got something from their discussions about spiritual ideas, and thinking.
