Musings of a Spiritual Warrior

24 May 2005

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!

LOVE,

Wayne
