Communion
One Mind and One Heart
© by Linda White Dove
As we are evolving in consciousness and remembering our oneness, we are gradually returning to a more instinctual way of understanding and relating. Just as we connect with nature by learning to be open and be present, we also connect with the divine timeless wisdom and with each other in the same way. It is communication in its higher expression; it is communion.
Communion is different from communication. Communication implies separation. When we are separate we need language in order to exchange information to survive. Language requires linear thought; we create words to convey information about events, people and places and we develop complex understandings on how life is, based upon language. Language not only shapes our reality, it defines and creates our reality.
In the reality of separation, to have mastery with language is to have power. Language gives credibility and creates form. Where there is no language to describe something, we dismiss it as not real, or not worthy of discussion.
Moving into oneness means we are all connected as one being with one mind and one heart. There is no more need to create language to exchange information in order to survive. The same information is part of all of us, automatically. There is no more need to talk to each other in words than there is need to talk to another part of yourself using words, for example your arm.
Just as most people communicate with their arms automatically and probably do not think about it much, we also have the ability to understand each other and the oneness in the same way. Language is a learned process, communion is instinctual. It is long forgotten but always a part of us, ready to open and re-integrate when the timing is right.
The process of communion is accelerating as more people are embracing their spiritual selves. Communion begins with opening and/or deepening of the intuitive senses. Some examples of this are knowing what other people are thinking, feeling the emotions of strangers, seeing past lives, having predictive dreams, hearing sounds that are not part of what used to be your physical reality…and much more. The reason the intuitive senses open for communion is that they are how we experience and express non-verbally and in a non-linear form. Each person will have their own ways of opening intuitively but the process will deepen over time, eventually transitioning from intuition to instinct. This is because communion is non-linear and in non-linear “communication” there is no pause between sending and receiving information. The polarity of sending and receiving does not exist. There is nobody and no thing to send it to. You do not need to think about making your heart beat. It just happens. Also, in communion all time is in the present moment. Therefore everything you want to express or could ever want to express is already part of reality. This reality is a shared reality available to and a part of everyone else.
One of the benefits of communion is the shared reality makes the sting of guilt, shame, fear and lack of self worth irrelevant. If we share one heart and one mind then there is nothing that is a part of us that is not a part of everyone else. And all of it is just part of the mix, part of life. This does not mean we will not have feelings, it just means that over time there will be no need for secrets or fear of being totally open to other people. The judgment will be gone. As a result we will be able to be ourselves and love openly. You can expect that as we more into the oneness, our emotions, thoughts and deepest “stuff,” will become transparently obvious to others. While this will be uncomfortable at first, the end “result” of unconditional love will be a freedom beyond anything you can imagine. It will be totally worth it!
Another aspect of moving into communion is a shift in how we commune with the divine mind. The divine mind will no longer be experienced as an authority figure outside of us and beyond our ability to access. Our divine nature and the wisdom that is part of divinity is part of us and always available. Over time as we move from communication to communion, the ways in which we perceive, process and work with information mentally will evolve. The information we need will be present as we need it, and we will probably not think using words or linear thought patterns. Knowing will be a felt, embodied understanding. We will not need to seek knowledge, all we need is to be open to it just as we are open to the rest of ourselves.
Science has told us that we use only a small portion of our brain, the rest is dormant and much about our dormant brain functions is unknown. As we move into communion, some of the dormant aspects of our brain are activating. The reason for this is that non-linear communication requires using our minds in new ways. During this transition it is common to experience symptoms of the shift such as confusion, inability to put your thoughts into words, forgetfulness, difficulty focusing, saying things that do not seem to fit the situation, or that are strange or even humorous. You may seem to be out of sync with other people around you and have difficulty conversing. Silence may become very inviting and the desire to be quietly present with someone and share their energy will seem like a real treat! It is likely that you will feel so connected to people without them needing to say a word that the effort required to talk seems unnecessary anyway.
The opening of your intuitive senses will likely mean that when you talk with someone, you will be experiencing more of them than the words they use. You will know things about them, feel their feelings, see aspects of them that they think are hidden, and know their true beauty inside. Their words will sound like music and the love you feel for them will be so strong that you ache to express it but are not sure how. All of this can be disorienting like being in a room with 10 televisions all on different channels, 20 radios each loudly playing different music, children crying, phones ringing, lights flashing, etc. Additionally you will be seeing more of the person you are interacting with and since it will all be real to you, it is easy to forget that you are seeing aspects of the person that they are not consciously putting out. Discernment comes into play here as you will learn to respond only to the parts of them that are appropriate to respond to.
Because of the unconditional love you will feel inside of people, everyone will seem very familiar to you, even when you do not know them at all. The desire to relate to people as intimates will need to be weighed carefully. Clarity about what you want and need in relationships will be very important. This is especially true when you see the true self inside the person, their potential, and confuse it for who the person is at this point in their life or think that the person will change if you stick with them. This can create many challenges in friendships and relationships! It is extremely important to be able to tell the difference between reality and wishful thinking and to know your own motivations. Patience is also an important asset when you know things about people that they will not always be ready or able to hear, even if you want to tell them to make their lives easier. The more you understand your own motivations, the easier the process of transitioning to communion will be for you and for others.
I hope what I have shared here will assist you in your process of communion. I am offering it to you based on my own understanding and experiences. Very little has been written on the subject and I hope that this article provides reassurance and insight that will make your path a little easier. I also want to emphasize that although this article only briefly outlines the process and it focuses on the challenges more than the benefits, the benefits outweigh the challenges in more ways that I can put into words. I focused on the challenges because I wish that information like this would have been available for me. If my writing about difficulties makes your life easier then there is a lot to be gained by talking about what you might expect, even if it may seem heavy or discouraging. I offer this to you from a space of unconditional love, gentleness and understanding.
With Love and Light
