It’s so helpful to become conscious about consciousness. A Course in Miracles tells us that consciousness is the first step in the experience of separation. It also tells us that there’s no such thing as unconsciousness. Whether we like to realize it or not, we’re always an active participants. We’re in the driver’s seat even when we think we’re not.
I’m very familiar with how convenient it can seem to “just go unconscious,” but that’s a delusion we’re having in the context of the illusion. Just think how often we feel like we’d like to “tune out.” It’s often desirable to “zone out.”
What are we tuning out?
The noise, the stuff of life, the responsibilities, the drama and the trauma.
Are we tuning IN to anything when we’re tuning out?
Are we tuning in to Spirit when we’re tuning out the world?
I like to zone out and tune out as well as tune in.
Usually when I zone out, I like to focus on something lovely, or something that the Higher Holy Spirit Self can teach me through. Movies and TV are perfect for that – but not as much if we’re not consciously paying attention as we’re watching.
Sometimes we can even blame our unconscious pain, cravings and aversions for overtaking us and controlling us – as if they have the power. But is that REALLY possible?
When we’re in the midst of a painful experience, we can ask ourselves – who has the power? Where is the power? When we reach UP to Spirit and turn it over Spirit responds, but we do absolutely have to be willing to let the past go. We have to be willing to have a new experience.
I know that when I’ve been tired and wished to tune out, I didn’t wish to contemplate anything. That was the last thing I wished to do – now, I’ve got the ability to stay conscious and I’m grateful. When I stay conscious, I stay loving. That’s a step in a healing direction and it brings another healing step and another.
We can be willing to recognize our wanting and craving to go unconscious and give it to Spirit for healing. So much is possible for us – one choice at a time.

Healing the mental patterns of separation, lack and limitation are a major part of what my year-long Masterful Living Program is all about. It’s about feeling more connected with Spirit ALL of the time and reducing the sense of separation from Spirit means reducing fear, pain and suffering of so many types: physical, emotional and mental. Fear affects our body, emotions and our mental stability – we all know that. If you’d like to live with a sense of trust and faith, Masterful Living might be for you!
LATEST ACIM PODCAST EPISODE: my topic is Letting Go of Victimization. Let’s be willing to release our attraction to victimhood. Seeing ourselves as a victim in this world is a habit we can break. In this episode, I share my walk with seeing myself as a victim of the world and recognizing that it’s a habit that can be released. Seeing ourselves as a victim can feel really sticky. When we’re disempowered we feel resistance to the very things that will most support our liberation. All of this can be transformed more easily than we can imagine! We can set ourselves free if we’re willing!
Thanks Jennifer 💫🙏🏻💕
