Kissing Consciousness - Volume I / Kissing Consciousness Bd.1 (ePub)

"Success isn't something you find, it's something you ARE."

- James Blacker

The key to success in life is simple: Releasing self-judgements allows you to move from self-constriction to self-acceptance.

Kissing Consciousness is a conscious living movement open to all, worldwide, and this handbook for that movement presents its structure, tools, skills and insights for nurturing and releasing your true self so that you can live from genuine choice and freedom. It provides the basis for you to live that freedom in your body as well as your mind, as an embodied reality, not just have an intellectual concept of it.

Once we realise that the only sensible definition of success is what is true for ourselves, we can also see that the only requirement for total, endless success is to decline self-judgement. The only alternative, whether we're enslaving ourselves to society's definition of success, expecting ourselves to be something we're not, or seeking others' approval, is frustration of the human spirit.

From this one insight we liberate the definition of success from both self-judgement and society's judgementalism and conventional thinking, which is still evolving and hasn't fully grasped the full reality for people. When we recognise the primacy of these two basic states - self-constriction and self-acceptance - then we can also correctly re-write the definitions of such things as confidence, positive thinking, choice, happiness, 'being', desire, genius and stress, which have also always been misunderstood by the conventional world, and even by the personal development movement within it. These insights also allow us to truly recognise what 'conscious' is all about, and in a practical way that we can actually make use of.

Having corrected our understanding of ourselves, success and our nature, Kissing Consciousness then provides practices and question-based and awareness-based tools to invite the release of blocks and limitations in the mind and body, and develop the skills and wisdom to be able to handle any emotion or feeling.

Further chapters give insights into specific areas of life, firstly your happiness and your inner world, including the reclaiming of any potential denied aspects of your character and personality, then body and health, and then relationships, all based on deeper wisdom that helps you understand yourself and every dynamic about you from your root.

'Intuitive Loving Touch' and 'The Boundaries Exercise' provide extra optional exercises which can be done in pairs or groups.

Finally, it introduces two optional extras - The Kissing Consciousness Facilitator Programme; your invitation to train as a Kissing Consciousness Facilitator - plus other options to run informal, unofficial gatherings for you and your friends and other like-minded people to mutually support and exponentially 'teamwork' enhance each other's 'shifts', as the releasing of personal blocks is called, and perhaps also creating a supportive community. You and your friends may even be able to save money on life coaching and healing by facilitating each other.

The applications of Kissing Consciousness are essentially limitless. Its capacity for positive impact is vast. ...and that's before Volume II of this book turns up to address social and global system failure issues!
