# Cosmic Consciousness > Cosmic consciousness is the felt recognition that everything is connected throughout creation, already operating in ordinary life rather than a distant attainment - Canonical: https://sassani.app/topic/cosmic-consciousness # Cosmic Consciousness *A small observer beside water is framed by nested reflections that widen into the night sky* Cosmic consciousness, in Bashar's teaching, is not a distant mystical attainment but the felt recognition of something already operating in every moment: that everything is one, that everything is connected throughout creation, and that the individual is already an expression of that whole. The chapter draws on a single session (transmitted in three overlapping captures) in which Bashar was asked directly what cosmic consciousness is and how it is awakened. ## What cosmic consciousness is Bashar's answer reframes the term away from a special state to be achieved and toward an always-on condition that is being expressed however the individual needs to express it in ordinary life. You are already tapping into it; the work is to allow that tap to become conscious. > — Months And Counting bashar 092515 part 02 (qa-1), [Source](https://sassani.app/source-transmissions/months-and-counting-bashar-092515-part-02) He describes it as an awakening to the connectedness of all things across the cosmos — everything expressing itself in all the ways it can, and the individual feeling and living that connection rather than merely thinking about it. The definition may also be narrowed, if a person prefers, to a growing awareness of connection specifically to extraterrestrial beings or to extraterrestrial aspects of self; the narrowing is optional, because the underlying recognition is the same. > — Months And Counting bashar 092515 part 02 (qa-1), [Source](https://sassani.app/source-transmissions/months-and-counting-bashar-092515-part-02) The session also notes, characteristically, that cosmic consciousness is already announcing itself in the smallest impulses of speech — the spontaneous "my goodness" of wonder is itself the answer to the question of what cosmic consciousness is. > — Months And Counting bashar 092515 part 02 (qa-1), [Source](https://sassani.app/source-transmissions/months-and-counting-bashar-092515-part-02) ## Relation to the larger awakening The same session places cosmic consciousness inside the broader transformation Bashar describes for this period: a felt sense that humanity is part of a larger, populated cosmos, preparing for open contact, and accelerating through frequency thresholds (the "Wave X" / gamma-state discussion appears in the same transmission). Cosmic consciousness is the inner side of that outer shift — the recognition that turns "life exists elsewhere" from a headline into a felt connectedness. > — Months And Counting bashar 092515 part 02 (qa-3), [Source](https://sassani.app/source-transmissions/months-and-counting-bashar-092515-part-02) *A seated observer, shore plants, and distant lights are reflected together in one still pool* ## Practical implications Treat cosmic consciousness as something to allow, not acquire. The teaching frames it as already operating; practice is a shift of recognition rather than a feat of attainment. > — Months And Counting bashar 092515 part 02 (qa-1), [Source](https://sassani.app/source-transmissions/months-and-counting-bashar-092515-part-02) Let the ordinary signals count. A spontaneous exclamation of wonder is, on Bashar's account, cosmic consciousness expressing itself; do not dismiss the small impulses while looking for a grander signal. > — Months And Counting bashar 092515 part 02 (qa-1), [Source](https://sassani.app/source-transmissions/months-and-counting-bashar-092515-part-02) Choose the form of connection that is most alive for you. The general recognition (everything is one) and the specific recognition (connection to extraterrestrial aspects of self) are both valid entry points; let excitement decide which to explore. > — Months And Counting bashar 092515 part 02 (qa-1), [Source](https://sassani.app/source-transmissions/months-and-counting-bashar-092515-part-02) The opening to cosmic consciousness is contextual, not abstract: in this session it is woven into prediction, disclosure, and the gamma-state threshold, so expect the recognition to arrive through concrete life events rather than detached contemplation. > — Months And Counting bashar 092515 part 02 (qa-3), [Source](https://sassani.app/source-transmissions/months-and-counting-bashar-092515-part-02) ## Representative passages You're tapping into cosmic consciousness all the time and expressing it however you need to express it in your individual experience of life. You are cosmic consciousness, you are connected to everything, everything is here and now. [...] It really is just an awakening to the idea that everything is connected throughout creation, throughout the cosmos, that everything is one expressing itself in all the ways that it can, and feeling that connection and living with that connection. [...] And by the way, when you first asked the question, we responded — that wasn't an exclamation, that was the answer. Cosmic consciousness is "my goodness."— Bashar, ## Related - [Collective Consciousness](https://sassani.app/topic/collective-consciousness) - [Higher Mind](https://sassani.app/topic/higher-mind) - [Parallel Realities](https://sassani.app/topic/parallel-realities) - [Channeling](https://sassani.app/topic/channeling) Markdown twin of https://sassani.app/topic/cosmic-consciousness.
