Seeding Consciousness

By Dreama Vance

December 28, 2025


The New Year always brings the hope of new beginnings, new resolutions, and new inspirations for the year ahead of us. It is the time when we make choices for what we want to accomplish, set plans in motion for how we want to do it, and start with good intentions and excitement.

There really is nothing more important in life than developing our spiritual consciousness. We do this primarily through meditation, but also by reading and listening to spiritual teachings. Through the study of spiritual teachings, we learn spiritual truth, what we call the letter of truth. As we learn these principles we can begin to pull them into our experience as we begin to put them into practice. It is only through our practice of these spiritual truths that we begin to develop our spiritual consciousness and it is through meditation that we begin to shift our intellectual knowledge of truth from our head down into our heart, into what I call the Abiding Place, (taken from Biblical scripture, "Abide in me, and I in you.")

Let me just sidetrack here a moment and talk about meditation. People meditate for all kinds of reasons and in many different ways. They practice mindfulness, do breathwork, do "moving meditations," all kinds of different techniques and reasons are called meditation in today's world.

For me, the purpose of meditation is to "know God aright," to develop that "mind which was in Christ Jesus," to look within to the Infinite Invisible to experience Grace. It is all about God, learning the nature of God, and experiencing awareness of the Presence. This is the first part of meditation and I call it and develop it through Contemplation. Pick a phrase, a favorite scripture verse or spiritual idea to contemplate and focus your mind. Allow yourself to think deeply on the topic and allow ideas to come to you. Revelations will begin to come to you. Then the second part of meditation, the true meditation, is the stillness. You have settled your mind through your focus and attention and then you enter the stillness. Now instead of thinking and concentrating, you develop what I call the listening ear. You listen for that still, small voice. You probably won't literally hear a voice, but you will in some way become aware of a Presence. You may release a sigh, or draw a deep breath; you may feel lighter, as if a burden has been lifted. You may simply become aware of the stillness. You may experience what I call the "fruits of the Spirit." I often feel that "peace that passeth understanding." Feelings of love, joy, contentment, are other fruits you may experience. The fruits of the Spirit, however, begin to manifest throughout your day, not just in your periods of meditation. They are, indeed, the fruitage of your practice.

Now, just to be clear, the still, small voice does speak. Sometimes it speaks so softly that if you are not listening, you will miss it. I have received very clear directions when I was really not thinking about anything, like when washing the dishes, or riding a bus. I think as we develop our spiritual consciousness, we realize that Presence is always with us, is there for us, guides us and is always communicating with us.

Now, back to the point of the article: Seeding Consciousness.

Choose a trait you want to develop this year to enhance your spiritual consciousness. Write the word on a prayer stone or a small rock and place it where you will see it every day. I put mine on the window sill over my sink in the laundry room. The window looks out over the area where we feed the deer and I use that sink to prepare cat food and wash my bird feeders, so I am in there often during the day, looking at my stone when I am also looking out the window. Every time I look at my word, I think about that quality. Just doing that begins to seed consciousness. If you also have a daily meditation practice, just take a moment before you begin your practice and think about your word for the year. You don't have to dwell on it, just think about it for a moment and let it go.

It is such an easy and fun thing to do and it is very powerful. Next Winter Solstice, when you reflect back over 2026 you will see the work your seed word did during the year.

Many blessings for the New Year!

Everything You Need to Know as an Awake Person

We are here for you. We are The Creators. We are a twelfth-dimensional collective of nonphysical beings, and we are here to help. 
 
You have all that you need at all times, and you are being guided to what you have inside of you at all times as well. One of the ways in which you do get guided to what is inside of you is by becoming disillusioned by a teacher or a set of teachings. Ultimately, you want to have faith in yourselves, in your abilities, and in your connection to that which you truly are, which is of course Source Energy. If you rely too heavily on someone else’s connection to the Source that we all are, then chances are that person, or that being or collective will be knocked off the pedestal. Many people lose faith in those moments and go into a dark night of the soul, but when they recuperate, they are more likely to trust themselves, to go within, and to become their own guide.

Now, others do exist to assist, and you can receive confirmation and advice from outside of you that resonates with you, that helps you recognize that you were right all along. There is always a place for spiritual teachings and spiritual teachers, but you do want to ultimately understand that you have your own guidance and that you have your own connection, and sometimes you do create scenarios for yourselves to give you those reminders. You want to recognize who and what you really are and that the path to heaven is within you, and so other times you will put all of your eggs in another basket.

Perhaps you will think that having this much money, and this house, and this spouse, and this car, and this amount of fame will bring you happiness, fulfillment, allow you to feel the way that you’ve always wanted to feel. And when those things fail, a human being also then must go through the experience of disillusionment and turn to the light that is within them. Ultimately, it would be a lot easier if you were all taught at a very young age that you are Source, that all the love you ever have wanted is within you, and that you don’t need anything outside of you, or anyone for that matter, to complete you.

But sometimes you find out through the living of your life, and you come to realize that everything does have its place on your journey. Nothing, however, is meant to be more valuable to you than what you have pulsating inside of you at all times. That is why falling in love is so powerful. Falling in love reminds you of who you are, but then at the end of the day, you still have to recognize that it is the love you feel that is important and not the object of that love. So again, all kinds of things happen within your relationships that hopefully bring you back to understanding that you are meant to live as the love that you are in spite of everything not being exactly the way you would like it to be. And that is everything you ever need to know about living a life there on planet Earth as a spiritually awake person.

We are The Creators, and we love you very much.
