Area of Influence
This is from me and can be consider as high speculation, I have no problem with that...
Our area of influence in the consciousness realm, is much wider than what we see and hear. We have individual area of Influence and collective area of influence. As individual, or consciousness emanates thoughts/feelings of diverse frequencies and magnitudes.
Imagine we are in a liquid, the air isn't really air but a fluid with low density. When you move into this fluid, your consciousness creates waves and these waves have frequencies and magnitudes. These waves crosses everything on their path. And when they reach another consciousness, there is an interaction, or a resonance or a discordance at different levels. This is how we are like emitters and receptors. We are influenced and we influence our surrounding, even Earth itself. We have a direct connection with the consciousness of Earth. In fact, the second level of consciousness is the mass consciousness of Humanity, connected to the consciousness of Earth. Then at a higher level of consciousness, there is the Universe or Creation's consciousness, where the Universal Laws are settled.
It means Earth is a living being with intelligence and emotion, with a consciousness of its own at a level above our own individual consciousness, but at the same level as the humanity's consciousness as a whole.
We can talk to Earth and receive thoughts from her. She is a very loving being and she awaits our complete awakening to share a new connection, a new relation based on respect, mature Love and evolution. Try this... Go outside on the field where you can be not seen, nor heard and put your hands on Earth. Feet on the ground and hands on the ground. Then calm down for a minute. Just focus on your breathing. Then talk to her, and wait for her answer, she is a lovely being...
Through the mass consciousness, we contribute our own type of consciousness individually. From the state of the mass consciousness, realities for Earth and Humanity is shaped.
The area of influence of an individual is limited according to it's own consciousness. If this person is very wise and the wisdom is integrated into his/her reality and consciousness, through his/her acts/thoughts/attitudes/words/feelings then this person vibrates at a very high frequency with a great magnitude, his/her area of influence is very wide and his/her contribution into the mass consciousness is vast. The opposite is also true.
Many factors determine the depth of the consciousness. True Knowledge, Focused thoughts or maintained thoughts, strong feelings be it negative or positive, attitude, self confidence... And ultimately, the awareness or the conscious part of the consciousness... Your consciousness is limitless, don't search for a meaning to the world, give a meaning to the world.
You ask yourself how to exercise your maintained thought? A hint... See it like a muscle. When you want to lift a heavy weight, you concentrate energy into one single place, hold breath and force. The brain works pretty much the same way... Focus on something and mentally force to maintain it there, after a while, you won't be bother by rogue thoughts anymore... And you do not need to be young, nor in good shape. Only by doing it 2-3 times a day for 5 minutes will do marvels. You wander on what to focus, focus on something you want!
