Saving...
I have written a book, which should be out in the next few months. In it I share a story regarding the beginning of human kind, which I have alluded to in some of my Fifth Elements. It’s a story that elicits deep compassion for our species as we are a people divided within. This is not to say that we can’t function, enjoy our lives, make some progress spiritually and even love. We can do all of these things to varying degrees, even without any conscious connection to ourselves.
In rare circumstance someone has been born integrated with their true self and operates from within that context throughout their lives. We would see them as carrying a kind of truth that is not typically seen – an authenticity flowing with compassion and unconditional love. They may also exhibit a high level of intuitive abilities. This is because when you are in conscious connection with your true self you can be no other way, and what a delightful way to be!
As I stated in my last blog, I would like to continue by sharing some useful methods for making this profound and God-like connection within.
The first step is that you have to understand that your mind, body and emotions will fight for their very lives to stay in control. It has been that way from the beginning of our cobbled together species. It has been a matter of life and death in this physical world. These aspects of ourselves have little or no knowledge of our other non-physical, yet infinitely wiser, half. Conversely, the true self has little consideration for the material aspects of life as it lives beyond this need. However, if we can merge the two we have an exalted earth experience in joining into a compatible working relationship with us as the beneficiaries! And there is something even more beautiful about this journey.
Imagine being a child of alcoholic parents, some of you already know this well. The child cannot relax and trust in the parent as the consequences can be dire if they let their guard down. This makes for an anxious and often mistrustful human being.
This is how our animal parts – mind, body and emotions – are. They have been out there on their own, with no higher loving guidance, for so long they don’t know what it is to trust and to relax into the arms of a higher force. When we make the commitment to come into alignment with our true selves, the frightened, survival oriented animal parts of our being can, for the first time, begin to relax and give way to the wise and loving parent within. Can you feel truth in these words? If so, please read on.
First we must make the conscious choice that the time has come to be an integrated human being. We must command our earthly parts to listen and accept that this is to be for the best of all aspects of our being. You are choosing to Know Yourself.
Secondly you need to take quiet time for yourself so that you can begin feeling the subtle layers of yourself. In this ‘meditative’ time begin to consciously breathe. As you breathe begin to invite your true self/soul into your awareness. This sends a signal to the mind/body/emotions that You are taking control.
Become very observant and notice subtle energetic changes within your body, your head, behind the eyes, and, above all else, a shift in your perceptions. Begin a dialogue with You. You might start out by saying that you know little of this part of yourself but that you are choosing to “Know Thyself” now. Your true self wants nothing more than to be in a conscious connection with you. As you breathe into your connection with You, ask it to find a way of signaling to you when You are present as it may not be obvious at first.
There is another unconventional technique of bringing the two into closer alignment. This is to name Yourself.
In indigenous tribes it is common to rename oneself a time or two throughout your lifetime as your maturity progresses and certain life experiences have been attained. This is good thinking as we seldom stay put on a vibrational level, we are always changing. A person knows when their old name no longer has energy and no one else can make that decision for them.
When you choose to change your name the only requirements for a successful name change is that the name makes you feel alive, joyful, strong, wise or powerful within yourself. If it meets these ‘feelings’ then it’s wise to make the change.
In the case of your true self, it has it’s own signature, sound – name. This name is very likely not known to you. So, as in your physical life, you can choose a name, making sure that it brings the ‘feelings’ of wisdom, love, compassion, strength and a subtle sense of joy. In this way you can begin to forge an aware relationship between your parts.
You may feel an unexpected sense of knowing that comes from nowhere obvious. You may feel a lightness of being, a new kind of patience, joy, attractions to new pursuits – any number of new feelings and desires. Don’t try to analyze these newly developing traits, rather, indulge them and give them recognition. In doing so, you send a clear message that you are listening and open to change.
At first the true You peeks through your awareness for you to glimpse. But, with time, you can willingly merge with the true self and signal the other earthly animal parts step aside for the good of the whole.
The journey can take minutes or a lifetime, it doesn’t matter. What matters is that we begin. When serious numbers of us have chosen this integrated path, our world will be irrevocably altered. There will be no tolerance for lies and secrets can’t be kept. Decisions will be made with the best good for all in mind. Fear of death and separation evaporates as your Beloved is You. You have, in your constant companionship your angel, your friend who has no fear of earthly matters.
This is what the sages of the ages have called Enlightenment and it’s within the grasp of every human being if we dare commit to it. Be patient. Expect change.

I too echo all that has been written, this site is part of my morning ritual in checking the latest addition on my favorite sites.
I also would like to see the book made into either an e-book or a Kindle book. The book sounds like it will be a winner.
It’s interesting to see how many found your site in 2010, things are looking up, here’s hoping new subscribers will double or even triple in 2011.
Regina, I absolutely loved and was inspired by this piece of writing and have told numerous friends about it. There is such beauty and grace in the words and I’m sure your book will be a best seller. We need positive messages for the future and to know that we can “consciously evolve” if we choose…as Barbara Marx Hubbard said. CMN is my favourite website and your interviewing style is second to none in its sensitivity and respect for the individual. Many thanks for being YOU.
Regina,
I love, love, love Conscious Media Network! I discovered your site during the summer of 2010 and have watched dozens of interviews. All have impacted my life and each has given me a piece of My Puzzle. I am so very grateful for the work you are doing. I consider Conscious Media Network a key resource as I continue on my personal path of growth and self discovery.

Hi Regina,
I love how you articulate the way in which we can truly integrate our third dimensional animal part with our TRUE spirit self! This is making a difference in my own personal meditation! I also loved the analogy of it being like a child of alcoholic parents and (the animal part) is frightened and mistrustful, at first. But with patience and love, we are all capable of integrating these aspects of ourselves and finding our true self . . our BELOVED SELF. I only wish we could have been taught this as children, but as they say, better late than never. Thank you so much for sharing this information! And thank you for being the voice that brings life altering information to us all!! You are a beautiful and courageous woman!
Oh, by the way, I have decided to use the name Phoenix! I love the idea of choosing a befitting name! Ta Da!
Phoenix
A wonderful intro to your book. Thanks, Regina.
Namaste.

I echo all of the accolades expressed here. Your site is wonderful, and I can’t wait for your book.
Dear Regina, You are an amazing human being and I’m so glad you will have a book out soon! I am always amazed with your abilities in interviewing, you have a gift for sensitivity that comes across and is beyond measure! Things in my life are in big upheaval and I truly don’t know where I’m going or how I will get there, but this sight gives me hope, and fantastic tools for tuning into my true self, and for expanding my awareness in so many areas I couldn’t have done without CMN. I am and will be eternally grateful! With love & blessings, Athena (born name, but I actually prefer Stella now, for the past year, it is so much lighter and people respond so differently, it’s wonderful ;-))
Regina,
You are changing lives every day. I tell everyone I meet about your site and always get positive feedback. Keep moving forward. I love your new layout and look forward to your book.
David and Kim.
Hi guys!
Looking forward to your book, Regina. I feel I should send copies to all the ol’ sourpusses in power! LOL
A very good friend of mine (a fellow ’60-something’ from the LSD days of yore)made the remark that she’d like to see a method whereby the very feelings you write about, i.e. contacting our true selves could be gotten by some physically and spiritually safer method, now that we’ve long outgrown the better living via chems thing. So, yes, they indeed MAY be attained. I digress about the LSD a bit because I well-remember those days in the 1960′s when I was tripping my rear off: a real ephiphany moment occurred when I realized that I was someone else–someone far, far greater than some unsuccessfully brainwashed bozo with Richie Cunningham insecurities. What’s commendable, Regina & Scott, is that you guys are now informing us that there are indeed ways to contact our higher selves–and that we may now get that collective energy going. How el-neato is that!
Wishing you guys all the Blessings in God’s package…not to overly-schmooze, however I really love your website. Will recommend it to my fellow old hippie comrade when next I run into her.
I love the idea of someone interviewing you! My partner and I have often said that your brain is the one we want to pick, you have such knowledge and grace!!!
Regina,
i am very happy to know that you are using your voice in this new way..The book subject is powerful; i look forward to reading it.
my best friend and i were sitting in this very room today talking about how we both over the holidays started serious conscious breathing;(not the usual topic for us) transformation happening on a scale and at a pace we have never known before, and ultimately that something very big is coming. It is felt deeply. and so here now, i bring up your new and wonderful looking site, and the first topic is….
thank you, for all you do.
happy new year to us all,
sara
I can’t wait for your book! Please make it available in iBooks or Kindle for our iPads. The site redesign is fantastic!
Thank you for being you, both you and Scott. The gift for what you do and the desire to see it through helps create an environment of self awareness amongst the masses. It is with much relief, I might add. Thank You so much.

Hi Regina, i’ve been watching your interviews since april 2010. i can say for sure i’ve become a differnet person every couple of month with the knowledge and awareness i gain. When i look into my eyes in the mirror it brings a smile to my face to see the person i am becoming. Less jugemently, less controlling, less fearful with direction and purpose. what makes me smile and fills me with joy even more is knowing that i’ve only scatched the surface. I can’t wait to look into my eyes a year from now. Its so exciting.
Thank you with all my heart.
Sash.

Keep all this good stuff coming!
Happy New Year,
love,
celeste

Hello Regina, just wanted to wish you good luck for your new book and congratulate you for the new layout of your website. It looks great.
The top banner reminds me of Krishnamurti words “I am the world and the world is me”, plus “question everything”, it makes perfect.
Happy 2011.
