YOUR NEW SELF IN A SEMI-CONSCIOUS WORLD
We now enter a time of trial where our new worldview is tested by society’s remaining collective beliefs in sacrifice and suffering. It’s normal, when developing a new habit, especially one that changes the very way reality functions, to periodically succumb to the prevailing view of others who are still caught in old perception. How do we stay optimistic when those around us are just entering the awakening process and catalyzing more global negativity?
We must remember that as human beings we perceive in an oscillating way. We’re clear, then we experience another wave of contraction into doubt and fear. We feel enlightened personally, then the world breaks in and we become aware of the people who are still in the dark. We must draw on our new knowledge about the evolution process to remember to recenter, return to inner truth, and recreate each moment with the soul’s wise motives.
We face specific challenges now: dealing with the mindset that causes energy drain and depression, continually renewing ourselves, understanding how to work with people who are caught in victim and dominator behaviors, or in dualistic too much-too little thinking. We learn to take leadership roles as healers, teachers, and innovators as a strategy for staying positive and service-oriented. We also develop the habit of taking time and space to be silent, explore our creativity, go on spiritual retreats, travel to spiritual places, and undergo periodic visionquests.
In this stage of the evolution process, we develop an understanding about the last steps of the clearing or purification process, where the soul dissolves our bottom-of-the-bucket beliefs in limitation, which carry with them baseline emotions like rage, hopelessness, terror, grief, and hatred. We are ending our involvement with suffering, and have various revelations about what causes it, the ways we unwittingly add fuel to its fire, and how we can disengage and transform suffering and sacrifice into acts of soul.
After we’ve shifted into the soul’s perception and reality, we think we’ll never have to deal with pain again. However, layers of the collective pain held by society now filter into our awareness. If we’re not mindful, we may feel this pain as though it’s ours alone and be tempted to backslide into negative mental and emotional states. The truth is that we are so expanded that the collective pain IS our pain, and it’s no more difficult to release it than it was before when we were less expansive. The choice for soul is the same. And each time we release ownership of suffering and return to soul, we help the world heal and release its darkness, which is truly the work of the saints.
The Revelations: I am a spiritual teacher! By my choice for soul, I serve others who aren’t as far along as I am.
The Choice: I choose to release pain and suffering, no matter whose it is. If I feel it, it’s mine to release.
