    This is part of the “Lightworker's Log Book Series” that came into existence in 2008, via soul promptings and after a series of life circumstances designed to awaken the author to humanity's true state. Previous publications consisted of choosing titles, arranging content, and taking vast amounts of time to compile an entire book. These days, books are easily birthed by merely tapping into greater aspects of what may be referred to as the author’s ever-changing consciousness. Publications are now compiled in this way by many more authors than ever before. This book is just one example of material stemming from what may be referred to as a more evolved consciousness experiencing and expressing in a field of decreasing duality. 
    As segments of humanity become increasingly chaotic while others experience greater states of consciousness, there comes a time when one asks, “Are we there yet?” STUDIES IN CONSCIOUSNESS and The Breath Of One is designed to explain in, hopefully, easily understood terms the vast separation from Source that humanity chose to experience. It is not meant to create further separations of Consciousness by delving into and examining other planets, galaxies or universes, but to explain how humanity got to the point where it is in the later portion of the twenty-first century, and how it will rise above it. STUDIES IN CONSCIOUSNESS and The Breath Of One began to surface during weeks of daily, multiple deluges of water in September 2025. 
    “Water is the wilderness, the calling, the rally of the soul.” 
    This book contains what the author refers to as “heavy-duty information,” and as does water contains light codes, which necessitate short bursts of reading material to be assimilated chapter by chapter, allowing time between them for full incorporation. 
    The return to Source may not seem instantaneous, but it is already achieved, for separation is impossible in the grand scheme of Source. 
    Read this book to see that it rings true and speaks for itself.

    Integrity is the cornerstone of trust, and trust is essential in every aspect of our lives. Whether in personal relationships, the workplace, or society as a whole, integrity is what binds us together and ensures that we can rely on one another. Without integrity, trust is compromised, and relationships become fragile, leading to misunderstandings, broken bonds, and lost opportunities. It is the foundation upon which all other virtues are built, and it is a key element that defines who we are as individuals and how we are perceived by others. 
    At its core, integrity is about being true to one’s principles and values, regardless of the circumstances. It means doing the right thing, even when no one is watching, and maintaining consistency between one’s beliefs, actions, and words. Integrity is not about perfection; rather, it is about being honest, transparent, and committed to doing what is right, even when it’s difficult or inconvenient. 
    One of the most powerful aspects of integrity is its ability to build trust. When we demonstrate integrity, others come to rely on our word and actions. Trust is built over time through repeated demonstrations of honesty, consistency, and reliability. Integrity fosters an environment where people feel safe, respected, and valued. It is the glue that holds relationships together, whether in families, friendships, or workplaces. People with integrity are seen as dependable, ethical, and authentic, making them natural leaders and role models.

    By the mid-15th century, the Byzantine Empire had collapsed and the various Crusades that had taken place in the region had largely disrupted the overland routes of the Silk Road and trade. Compounding the difficulties of trade was the rise of the Ottoman Empire in place of the Byzantines and the outbreak of the Black Death in Europe.  
    It was roughly around this time that a period of European exploration began, and major factors that contributed to this period of exploration were introduced by the Chinese, albeit indirectly. The magnetic compass had already been developed and used by the Chinese sailors since the 12th century, although it had first been created in the 3rd century BCE as a divination device. The Portuguese started exploring the west coast of Africa and the Atlantic under orders from Prince Henry the Navigator. At this point, Europeans had not yet been capable of navigating completely around Africa since the ships being built were not yet fully capable of being able to sail very far from the coast and navigation in open waters was difficult, but the Portuguese continued pushing down the western African coast looking for ways to bypass the Ottomans and Muslims of Africa who had been making overland trade routes difficult.  
    	In 1488, Bartholomew Diaz rounded the southern tip of Africa, named the Cape of Good Hope by King John of Portugal, and entered the Indian Ocean from the Atlantic. 	The Portuguese had found access to the trade regions that they had been searching for, but sailing from Portugal to India and beyond would require too many resources to travel with at once. To remedy this problem, Portugal began establishing a number of forts and trading posts along the route. The Portuguese were able to establish a fort on the west coast of India, Fort Manuel, in 1500, and in 1505 a fort was erected off the coast of Tanzania.
