More and more, there is a sense that it
is time for a major change in what I do for a living. I have been
hoping for and anticipating such a change since the musings began in
1993. What makes me think that it is any closer to happening
now? There is a sense that the details are being worked out in
other than conscious realms. I don't have to worry about how to
make it happen. I just have to do as I am moved to do and stay as
awake and observant as I can be during the process. Making the
right connections, making useful connections is what it is all
about. Consciousness benefits from everything that everyone
things and does. We truly are ONE in ways beyond
imagination. What we do to anyone we do to the whole. What
befalls anyone, befalls the whole. There is no escape. We
cannot operate in isolation, no matter how hard we might try to do
so. Our every act, our every thought is known. One of the
issues in our world seems to be the matter of partitioning and the
giving of permissions as to who can know what. This runs direct
into the face of privacy as well. How much individual privacy is
there in a world that is one?
We are part, one, and many at the same time. This is true of all
living beings / systems. We are a whole, composed of whole parts,
living within a whole system or ecosystem. Also, we participate
in many man-made systems or organizations for a variety of purposes ...
political, economic, societal, educational, recreational, etc ...
How do we learn about the nature of communities? The chief way is
to look to nature herself. She has constructed wonderful
communities and ecological systems that are highly interdependent on
the parts within the systems. We have the opportunity to do even
greater things than nature alone has done, simply because we have the
capacity to cooperatively co-create reality at a whole new level.
That does not mean that everything that we create will be great ... but
they will be our creations. What rules need to be in place to
ensure harm is not done as we engage in this endeavor of creating a new
society? You don't have to invent anything. You only have
to choose to apply what you discover works well. You may discover
this in nature, in systems that you build, or in the observation of
your own organizations. Humanity has a lot to learn from what it
does to itself. Collectively, you can be very cruel to one
another. But, you can also demonstrate a tremendous capacity to
care. Such wonderful visions, and such terrible nightmares.
It is time for you to embrace it all and realize that you only did what
was necessary to explore the path that you chose to explore.
I've been thinking about community a lot of late, wondering why I have
not yet created the circumstances that involve in becoming part of a
community. These quotes from The Search for Center seem relevant
now:
If community is truly going to
work, individuals must participate.
This requires the commitment of time, energy, and sometimes resources
to do something.
Feedback is essential for
building the foundations for a community. It is the reflection that the
mirror shows to us to allow us to determine what impact our efforts are
having. If you simply read this and then sit back in silence, you are
NOT doing your part.
It seems that it (community) calls for a coming together of a group of
people to share in one another’s
lives in a manner that supports the welfare of everyone.
Do I walk my talk? Do I live
my life in a manner that is consistent with what is expressed
here? It seems that, if not, I wouldn't be able to continue to
express in this manner. But that didn't stop Jan Roberts.
The Seth Material came forth through her even while her body was
undergoing immense trials that corresponded to her beliefs. I've
always found it curious that she was speaking for Seth, the very
concepts that could have saved her but she just wasn't getting
it. It strikes me that J.Krishnamurti observed something similar
near the end of his life, namely, that he had taught throughout the
world for over 30 years and had never found a single student who got
it, who realized what he was attempting to teach. Not that it's
easy. Waking people up to a new level of awareness takes some
doing in our present world. Perhaps that will change soon, but
there is a whole lot of inertia to overcome. Regardless, it is
something we must do, because it is our job to do it.
Now is a time for destiny to unfold in ways that it has never done
before. We are at the threshold of a bold new age, one that would
not be subject to many of the restrictions of the past. Freedom,
and all that that entails, is a hallmark for this age. It will
sweep the world in ways beyond imagining. Similarly peace is to
abound in a world where war is not tolerated as a civilized way of
resolving differences. Vanquisher and vanguished both lose they
wage war upon one another. War is ultimately lose/lose behavior.
I AM THAT I AM THAT YOU ARE! Be Happy and Create Well!
