I'm going to write freely here on this post - let my intuition do the talking - it might waffle a bit but stay with it. Sometimes I see things clearly and distinct; other times though my mind and thoughts and understandings are all interconnected and I can't distinguish the core points I want to communicate - and in a way this just reflects how the world is, how reality is... everything is interconnected, everything has to do with everything else and you can't talk of one thing without it touching on another and another and so on. I look at the world today and I see how every aspect of it seems to be caught in a vortex, spinning out of control and heading, faster and faster towards some point of collapse - it's like we're in a black hole, past the event horizon, sucked towards the singularity with no idea what is on the other side. World events are one example - no-one can pretend there isn't something enormous happening right now. There seems to be panic everywhere - government controls and morals and actions are being questioned from all sides; leaders are getting more and more crazy and fundamentalist in their views; the corruption of world governments and organizations and global corporations is being spilled out over the table for all to see; the financial world is being shown to be incapable of any solutions to the economic problems of our time - problems caused by that same financial system; nationalism is back in play and border-controls are going back up; public places are patrolled by armed forces and a new and frightening "heavy police" presence; our food is manipulated, our movement is restricted, our communication is monitored, our health is being violated; and our information is no longer to be trusted - mainstream media is propaganda and nothing else. A couple of hours delving into the realm of "conspiracy theories" will split your world-view right open. When people talk of WWIII, it's not too difficult to believe in it. Something... is going on... something major. In spiritual circles there is the understanding that the planet and we as humans are experiencing an ascension process to a higher dimension of "being". What that means to each person is different - and many people at this time, spiritual or not, are posing serious questions about their own existence and where it's all heading. Plagued with doubt on one side, and being so obviously manipulated by the system on the other - it's not surprising that there's so much unrest and fear and insecurity in the world. There may be people out there who are blissfully unaware of any such unrest, and are happy with their existence - good for them. But I know, among the people I've met personally over the years, most are dealing with the same existential issues, and most are not really so happy with their existence, with their jobs, with their finances, with the way their lives are headed, with their personal inner-experience. As an example I only have to think of the hundreds of teachers and parents I've known personally in the 15 years I worked within the education system... there's few of them who seem to have it all together - and they're trying to help children to "get it all together". I don't blame the teachers or parents at all - the education system is a complete mess. Every aspect of civilization is under scrutiny, and while technology is racing undeniably forward, quality of life in its deepest sense is spiralling in the opposite direction. Does anyone really know anymore why they're doing what they do, why they're living the lives they live, why they desire the things they desire, why they buy the things they buy, why they say the things they say and think the things they think? I don't think many people do. If they did we could do away with leaders, armed forces, law enforcers, shrinks, educators, gurus and especially celebrities. You don't have to believe in god to be able to sense that you are part of some greater order, some greater intelligence, and that being so, you have an intuitive knowledge to match that greater intelligence. We don't need someone else to tell us what is right or wrong, what is moral or immoral, how we should live our lives, what we should aspire to, what is important - we shouldn't need laws and rules to keep us on track, or organizations to monitor our actions. We shouldn't have to fear ostracization for being, or striving to be, our authentic individual selves, following our own path, at our own pace, for our own conscious development and experience. But we are the products of our invention of society - we are what the machine, built and run by old paradigms of belief, has spewed out over the assembly-line - copies and clones instead of snowflakes. But the world is changing - an evolution of conscious awareness. Walls are crumbling and a mist is clearing... and we will find ourselves stranded and directionless with no sign-posts back to whence we came. Unless... unless we do the work now - take a step back, take a breath, look inside, ask the right questions and listen for the answers. Intuition and a silent knowing will lead you out of this abyss, each taking full responsibility for one's own advancement, growth, progress and enlightenment. No-one can take us there but ourselves - but we are limitless and connected and intricately part of that greater order and intelligence. We have to remember this and extend our awareness and perspective beyond the limitations we've been conditioned to believe in. We need to embrace the sense of our infinite inner-knowledge and use that to transform ourselves, our lives and, collectively, our world. Old paradigmes of religion, politics and science brought us this far - for good and for worse - but it's time for something new. New paradigmes of understanding of our connective nature, our multidimensional nature, our limitless nature, our divine nature.
