Shift In Consciousness
There’s a new evolutionary impulse coming through humanity today and it’s giving birth to a new paradigm of consciousness and a new paradigm of living.
This new evolutionary impulse is the frequency of oneness and it’s bringing about a great healing to our planet.
As it impacts us, everything that is not already in the frequency of oneness is being brought up to the surface in order to be seen and healed.
Are you experiencing increasing shifts in your inner and outer reality? Does life seem both chaotic and exciting? Or maybe frightening? As familiar structures seem to crumble at an alarming rate, we can no longer depend on our habitual way of relating to the world.
If you, like me, are a sensitive soul, then you may well be experiencing these shifts within the arena of relationships. And I mean both intimate relationships with your lover, partner, husband, or wife … and your friendships, family, work colleagues and even those who pass through your life less frequently. It seems that what used to work in terms of relating to others is no longer viable.
No More Separation
The new frequency is calling us to heal all our relationships so that we can re-create the world as a community of brothers and sisters. At the core of all war is the perception of separation. As long as we see others as separate from us, then we’ll treat them as the enemy … whether this is our lover or the people of another nation.
We all have a part of us that tries to protect “self” at all costs. The need for “self-protection” is an unconscious act that stems from our smallness rather than from our greatness.
This small part of us is dependent on outside sources for feeling good about itself. And so it defends, attacks, blames, hides, hoards and plays the “victim”. It’s a co-dependent way of relating in which we try to get energy or power from someone else because we haven't realised that our true power comes from our connection to Source!
James Redfield spoke about this in his best-selling book “The Celestine Prophecy” in which he revealed the energetic contracts we make with others in order to make ourselves feel better about ourselves. The problem is … it doesn't work and it becomes an endless cycle of push and pull. In other words, it becomes a “tug of war”.
In a co-dependent relationship we’re dependent on other people to give us what we think we need …whether this be love, power, money, or resources. And so we love them when they give us what we want and we hate them when they don’t.
The new frequency of oneness is “pushing all our buttons” and bringing to light how deep the groove of co-dependency runs through all our human relations. We see this in the intensifying personal battles between man and woman, between family members and between friends, as well as in the escalating conflict between nations.
Reflections Of Each Other
Every relationship acts as a mirror … whatever we blame, judge or attack in another is exactly what we are not fully embracing in ourselves. If we want someone to love us more, it’s because we are not fully loving ourselves. If we want someone to respect us more, it’s because we are not fully respecting ourselves.
If we want someone to provide us with wealth, security or resources, it’s because we are not finding these within ourselves.
Seeing everyone that comes into our lives – whether it be our mother or our boss, our neighbour or someone of a different nationality – as a reflection of ourselves is the key to moving beyond the addiction of co-dependency to the co-creative potential of inter-dependency.
When we treat others as we wish to be treated, when we have compassion for what we perceive as a weakness in another, when we bless another for having that which we also want, then we are able to see ourselves reflected in them and we have the opportunity to love ourselves within that reflection.
Love allows us to connect with that part of us that is whole and holy, our true essential nature. This part of us is at one with the whole of life and does not perceive any separation. This part of us is our inner goodness and it is the same as another’s inner goodness.
We Are All Children Of God
Recognizing our innate good-ness – or God-ness – means that we are at peace with ourselves. We are living in the knowing-ness or our connectedness, that we are all aspects of the One. And only when we are truly at peace with ourselves will we be able to truly be at peace with our brothers and sisters.
So how do we go about embodying and living in the recognition of our one-ness? By firstly taking full responsibility for loving ourselves.
And secondly, by always remembering that everything we perceive is a reflection of ourselves.
So next time you find yourself having a strong emotional response to someone close to you or someone you’ve just met … pause for a moment and ask yourself “What aspect of myself is this person reflecting?” Imagine the other person is a mirror and your emotional reaction is clouding the truth of what you see.
You see, intimacy is what happens when you take the blinkers off and see with the clarity of an open heart not a closed mind. Another way of saying it is “into me see” or “I see myself in you”.
It’s a challenging practice but one that’s really worth it when you remember because it shifts you from the pain of judgement and separation to the joy of love and oneness!
