This podcast series focuses on the intersection of Consciousness and Self. This is our “Journey into Enlightenment.” At the core of human reality is Consciousness. Humans are self-defining creatures. We develop rule sets and stories that generate our experiences of reality. Consciousness is the state of awareness in each of us where our self-defined realities are only one of the many options in potential that could be expressed.
Each episode you will join Janet and her friends to gather in this core in Heart Centered Awareness. You will feel this state where time and space are malleable, potential is active and change in our day to day experiences can be felt in the moment. You will witness this sharing in the expansive variety of expressions of Consciousness, and as form and language in our physical and non-physical worlds. Experience new definitions in Self and join in the collective community we call Consciousness.

This episode is the first of two about Ubuntu. Elements that will be mentioned in the two conversations will be mentioned both here and in our next episode description. The reality of Oneness, that we all exist in relation to everything, is an awareness that has roots in both Indigenous and Western approaches. The African approach is Ubuntu. Joining Janet is her friend and sister in Being, Dr. Mmatheo Motsisi, from Johannesburg, South Africa. Trained in both Western and Chinese Medicine, she is also initiated as an Indigenous Knowledge system practitioner (IKS) as a Shaman/Sangoma/Diviner. Together they will explore Ubuntu and its healing approach to our human community.
Dr. Mmatheo Motsisi, is an Indigenous Knowledge System Practitioner (IKS). She was Initiated as a Shaman/Sangoma/Diviner and holds several degrees of healing among them in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and Acupuncture. She has traveled far and wide working with indigenous peoples in Nepal, India, China, USA and Motherland Africa. She is the author of “Odyssey of a Healer” describing a ten-year personal spiritual pilgrimage and the experiences of other healers she has interacted with, during her many travels. It was a journey exploring the “Healing Power of Nature.” Her quest has been to unravel the mystery that underlies the foundations anchoring “Our State of Oneness,” beyond the created and perceived divisions in existence.
She is a vessel to liberally share her spiritual insight with others in their pursuit to unravel the mystery of Mother Nature as the Giver of Life, the Nurturer and Healer. She is comfortable with ritual and the lyrical languages and realms of the heavens, Star Seeds, Blessed Ones, the Ancients and Elders of traditions as she is with modern men and women and the wisdom of the scientist. She straddles the realms of Spirit, Lemuria, Atlantis, and is a carrier of the history and time of all people. She embodies our African Mother that lives in each of us.
Her Holistic Practice is located in Orange Grove, Johannesburg, South Africa.

“We are All a manifestation of the Greater I AM, basically a microcosm of the Macrocosm.”
“As long as we believe we are separate, there will be all manner of dysfunction in the world, but when we embrace our Oneness, there is nothing we cannot overcome.”
“Human differences are superficial…What unites us is far more significant than what divides us…Under our skins we are all Africans, the metaphorical sons and daughters of the man from Kibish.”
“Our Individual Mind is Part of a Greater Consciousness. Eloquently expressed in UBUNTU - Umumntu ngumuntu ngabantu / Motho ke motho ka batho ba bangwe. We are All of One SOURCE. Our individual Mind bears its origin from the Infinite Mind, a Universal One Mind that subsumes and unites all individual minds. This view of ONENESS / UBUNTU predates All. All philosophies and religion are woven around it, The UNIVERSAL Law of One. It has threaded from antiquity through to the present.”
Voices that have spoken the Universal Law of One include:
“Human nature was originally One and we were a whole.”“There is one common flow, one common breathing, all things are in sympathy.”
“To divide or multiply consciousness is something meaningless. In all the world, there is no kind of framework within which we can find consciousness in the plural; this is simply something we construct because of the spatio-temporal pluralty of individuals, but it is a false construction… The category of number, of whole and of parts, are then simply not applicable to it...The overall number of minds is just one… In truth there is only one mind.”
“The notion of a separate organism is clearly an abstraction, as is also its boundary. Underlying all this is unbroken wholeness even though our civilization has developed in such a way as to strongly emphasize the separation into parts.”
“Oneness” is from the Meditation Archive at Interlude: An Internet Retreat.

First there was All, One. All/One includes everything as Consciousness, One Mind. In the wonder of Life, we know as human, we have developed an outward sense of Self as we are individually oriented in our human form. Still, in our internal core, we are Consciousness as Oneness, where the distinction of Self is loosened. Find the whole article on my blog…

What does it mean to live consciously with energetic awareness in daily life? We can access the warmth, acceptance and non-judgment that is universal consciousness. We are all part of that spectrum, as individuals interconnected. There is no time, no space. Accessing the state of potential can help us to allow for new choices in our habitual feelings, behaviors and responses. Joan and I are subtle energy empaths in the field of consciousness. Join us as we talk about our individual and collective evolutions on Conscious Conversations with Joan and Janet. Explore what it would be like to change your rules and realities.
