380. Transform Your Consciousness by Embracing the State of Love

Mike Parsons – 

Changing your state of consciousness is less about actively doing something and more about entering into the reality that already exists. It’s coming into agreement with the truth of who you are as a son or daughter of God and embracing your identity in Him. This means realising that you live in an interactive relationship with God, where He is in you, and you are in Him – abiding in His presence as He abides in you. Connecting relationally with that truth changes your state of consciousness and your state of mind.

I would say this change begins with peace, a place of rest where you accept the reality of who you are in God – that you are forgiven, made righteous, justified, accepted and included. These truths bring you into a state of love, joy and peace. You are loved unconditionally, filled with joy, and live in gratitude for the life you have. You find peace that surpasses understanding. Jesus said, “My joy is in you so your joy can be full; love one another as I have loved you.” He left us His peace – not as the world gives, but a deeper peace of being loved, accepted and brought into a relationship with the Father.

This awareness shifts your consciousness from a focus on doing to a focus on being.

In this state of being, I live in unconditional love, grace and mercy. That is the state I live in. I am in rest; I don’t strive or struggle. I simply enjoy. A key to this shift in consciousness is understanding that you don’t have to do anything to maintain your relationship with God – it is freely given by His grace and love. You don’t earn it, work for it or need to do anything to sustain it. Instead, you enjoy it. You enjoy being loved, the joy of relationship with God, and a state of peace, free from duty, obligation or fear.

This means you can enjoy each day, knowing He is with you, and you are with Him. You don’t have to try to connect with God because He is already in you. Communication becomes continuous, as you are constantly face-to-face with Him in the light of His presence. He is connected to the core of your being, so you live in a state of oneness with Him. “Whoever is joined to the Lord is one spirit.” This oneness becomes a background awareness of His presence and your presence in Him, allowing you to live in love, joy and peace.

Communication with God becomes more of an inner knowing, where He shares His heart with you, filling you with peace. You are inspired by His intentions, which brings a sense of authority into your everyday life. Resting in Him means that you don’t approach Him with an agenda. You don’t seek to encounter or communicate with Him for specific goals; instead, you simply want to know His heart and walk in fellowship, intimacy and relationship with Him. As you rest in this relationship, He begins to reshape your understanding of yourself and your connection to Him, naturally transforming your consciousness into a state of rest.

From this place, communication with God becomes instinctive, an inner knowing of His heart. Yes, you may talk with Him, and He with you, but it becomes more about sharing hearts and living out of a state of union and oneness. As you do this, everything you are doing in the realms of Heaven connects with what you are doing here on earth, creating a seamless flow between both realms. You live in a state of peace and rest, enjoying life more fully, as life is meant to be enjoyed.

Living in intimacy with God, knowing that He is your Father who loves you, fills you with a sense of peace and purpose. In that state of love, He desires the best for you and wants you to live out that relationship daily, grounded in love, joy, peace and rest.

372. Unity, Union and Oneness

Mike Parsons

Levels of Understanding: From Unity to Oneness

There are various levels of understanding and experience that take us deeper into what it means to be in unity, union, and ultimately, oneness with God. In earlier teachings, unity was often understood in terms of shared beliefs. If people agreed on doctrines or beliefs, they were considered to be in unity. However, this kind of unity was superficial because it excluded others who did not share the same beliefs. In reality, true unity has little to do with agreement on beliefs.

Unity Based on Beliefs vs. True Union

Union, on the other hand, is about a deeper relational connection. It’s similar to the union between husband and wife, where two people come together in an intimate relationship that goes beyond mere agreement. Union is more about connection and relational closeness than about aligning beliefs. It involves a joining together at a deeper level, reflecting a more intimate connection than unity of the mind or beliefs alone.

However, there is an even deeper level: **oneness**. When we enter oneness, there is no separation between us and God. This doesn’t mean we become God, but we become one with Him in spirit. In this state of oneness, we have access to His heart, His mind, and there is a profound connection that transcends separation. While we remain distinct, oneness allows us to experience God’s presence and intimacy in a way that feels inseparable.

Union and Oneness: A Personal Journey

My personal journey involved discovering what it means to be in oneness with God. It was not just a theological understanding but an experiential one. The feeling of oneness was different from the experience of union, where intimacy was deep, but there was still a sense of individuality. In oneness, I felt an abiding presence in God that made it impossible to feel separate from Him. It became clear that this relationship was not about doing or achieving, but about realizing and experiencing what was always true—that I am made in His image and likeness, and that this reality transcends any works or protocols.

We are all on a journey to discover who we truly are as sons and daughters of God. Being made in His image and likeness means more than we often understand. It means that our very essence reflects His original intention for us. As we go deeper into this relationship, our DNA is transformed, and we are restored to God’s original purpose.

Experiencing Truth Beyond Protocols

In the past, much of the spiritual journey was about protocols—if you do this or that, you would get closer to God. There were steps to follow: salvation, baptism, receiving the Spirit, and so on, which often felt like climbing a ladder. However, the deeper understanding is that we don’t need to earn or work for these experiences. The truth has always been there; we just need to have it revealed to us. Once it is unveiled, we come into agreement with it, realizing that God has always seen us this way.

Evangelical Christianity has often taught that God’s view of humanity changed after the Fall, but in reality, **God never changed His view of us**—we changed our view of ourselves. His thoughts towards us have always been rooted in love and truth, and He is revealing this so we can see ourselves as He does.

Agreeing with God’s Reality

This process of revelation is about agreeing with God’s perspective. It’s not about reconciling our limited human thinking with God’s, but about transforming our thinking to align with His. This transformation is key to entering into the reality of who we truly are. It’s not about doing works or following steps to ascend spiritually. Instead, it’s about embracing the truth that has always been there and allowing it to transform us.

Ultimately, this journey is about living in a relational reality with God that unveils the depth of who we are. It’s not about striving or achieving through works but about receiving the revelation of our identity in God and living in agreement with that truth.
