Where haven't you heard that we are living in crazy times, unprecedented wars, economic pendulums, stolen elections, and what appears to feel like we are living in a holographic, or simulated experiment. I have heard from many clients the feeling of reality shifting, that time is bending, or there is no concept of the passage of time. It's like we're here and then we're there. It's July, then it's December, seemingly in the blink of an eye.
We're scared into believing that mother Earth is dying, that we must reduce carbon, that we are a razor's edge away from our destruction. Talks of nuclear bombs, of extinction, of living off the grid, or 10 days of darkness. It just goes on and on. This is not to dismiss warnings of our planet's demise and our own path of self destruction, but the side effect of these warnings is a lingering state of helplessness and hopelessness. Neither productive for changing the world out there, which is where the paradox occurs.
If we don't know how we arrived somewhere, then how can we change it? The first, and vital question we need to be asking is "who are we?' and "how did we arrive here?" We know, I hope most know, that we did not descend by Neanderthal or any deviation from. We are similar genetically, but we are also similar to the genetics of a banana too! How did our genetic material arise? And, how over the centuries are we changing? How has technology, or access to continual downloads of information and entertainment change who we are, and how we see our divine selves? What, if we continue this technocracy, will our youth be effected in such gifts as imagining, creativity and innate talents?
Questions to ponder! The true jewel is to recognize that we are spiritual beings harnessed in a physical vessel, anchored in a physical, material world. Our true nature includes the capacity to heal our bodies, to shift the atmospheric winds, to create rain, and to alter our internal states and manifest different outcomes. Why, then do we collectively sit back and expect the world to change from the outside?
If we consider this, we have to remember that we are very trained to believe that we have limited power, or are powerless against the government, corporation, IRS, and other policed, and engineered groups whom we hand our power over too. Remember as a child playing imaginative games in which you were the hero, the star, the rescuer of animals, or make believe villains? Were you ever the victim? Probably not!
Practicing the Maharishi effect has shown that consciousness can alter the external world around us. For instance, whe a group of people meditated (had a concentration on feeling the feelings as if peace had already happened), the effect was a drop in crimes (Washington DC). The practice was replicated in England and Jerusalem yielding similar results, such as 60% reduction in violent crimes.
It takes about 1% of the population to shift the outer world experiences of feelings of peace, generosity, love and compassion, so imagine what coudl happen if groups gathered in local communities to sit in prayer for compassionate waves to extend to everyone in the group and beyond.
So, can you change the world, yes, you can. Try this for an experiment. Sit comfortably, and relax. Take several deep breaths, and begin to imagine that you are sitting in a beautiful meadow, listening to the wind moving through te trees, hearing the birds, and feeling the ground beneath your feet. As you are doing this, breathe in, deep appreciation for yourself and all that you have been blessed with, breathe out this feeling of releasing this joy in to your home, animals, children, partner, community and beyond. Just breathe in compassion, breathe out joy, and watch what happens when you practice this daily.
