The world does appear to be falling apart; in every community group there is a tremor of discontent. Many people have been worried for some time now and this has been heightened by the Covid 19 world pandemic. Many are all feeling pressured by the demands of lock-downs and social distancing. This isolation leads to even greater sensation of loneliness, worry and further disconnection within and among many community groups.
Those in the spiritual communities are feeling the opposite. They are sensing a strong pull toward connection as the chaos increases. Despite the uncertainty of how to accommodate for the fear and suffering in others, they are committed to holding tight to their personal higher-power. This positive spiritual energy has been a part of the American experience since its founding.
America’s history has led to tremendous advancements with openness, inclusion and education for the masses. What was once thought unattainable to the common citizenry was embraced and mastered in the United States. Over the last two centuries these advancements have become an ever greater threat to the world-wide hierarchies of power. People have been waking-up through the enlightenment of modern thinking and education and this is shaking humanity to its core. How will we transition through this unique period in human history? Only time will tell.
WHY MANY ARE WORRIED AND SUFFERING
As already discussed in previous chapters, the many unique traditions and community belief systems have made great progress in all societies. This growth however has led to pompous self-aggrandizing beliefs that have pushed us to marginalizing others into competing camps of power.
Through our growth and expansion in science and technology humanity has gained mastery over our physical needs for survival. Sadly we have been declining and transitioning away from the spiritual values that were fundamental in building world-wide civilizations. Since we are unable to adopt and support all of our individual ideas and ideological beliefs we have further divide into individual group connections holding tight to our own. This has become strikingly obvious in the western world.
Individual self-love and the strong belief in our scientific advancements have many believing only in themselves. The atheistic appeal of knowledge and intellect, which is part of a new post-modern culture, has led to a decline in the traditional Judeo-Christian values that founded Western Civilizations.
The community values, that helped stabilize and balance the personal power afforded to individuals, has been replaced with aggressive self-promoting arrogance as the new culture. Those who focus on themselves and pursue their own individual personal agendas are feeling tremendous discomfort. This new attack culture of marginalizing “the others” in unsustainable.
The social justice warriors push to attacking those of traditional hierarchical powers has led to major declines in civil behaviors. Good manners and honest dialogs have been replaced with personal attacks and cancel culture. Group pressure to withdraw support for public figures who contradict the narrative is the new normal. Boycotting companies that have said or done something considered objectionable or offensive to a specific ideological group. This cancel culture is magnified by group shaming and group labeling which sharpens the hostility and the fears of people on all sides.
THE PRELUDE TO RECONNECTION
Foundational principles of consideration for civil behaviors, which include communicating with manners and proper decorum when interacting with others, seem to have all but disappeared. Respect for your elders, woman and children, all of these ideals have been diminished if not fully abandoned by many people today. The individual is no longer a sovereign unto themselves. They have been hijacked by a group identity that is built on hyper patrician separation.
Everyone seems to be dividing into social groupings and classes of people to which they are assigned and attached a group identity. More and more people believe and fully adopt their collective group identity and adopt a victim perpetrator mindset. This is separating society into different class groupings which are then pitted one against the other.
People on all sides see themselves as victims. They feel fully validated to lash out at the perceived perpetrators as the evil enemy. There are no redeeming qualities in anyone outside their own personal circle of influence. The individual spiritual values of love and connection have been isolated to one’s own group, or have been abandoned all together.
Those caught in this trap of disconnection from love of others are suffering. By resisting this internal spiritual change they are experiencing greater and greater negative sensations in their spiritual space. Many are left arguing and fighting with so much disinformation that we do not even know what is true anymore.
When doctors cannot reach consensus to agree on the science of medicine this is certainly a reason to worry. Doctors and medical professionals parrot politically correct narratives that fit their own world-view while undermining the credibility and confidence of their own expertise and in the validity of the science of medicine they practice.
On the topic of wearing masks for example, should we be considering what effects human interventions have on our nature? For example do all the biological elements we transfer socially serve any positive purpose? Perhaps building antibodies that immunize to help protect humanity? Trying to improve or intervene on what nature (God) has provided to humans, as built-in defense mechanisms, seems pretty bold. The demand of forcing compliance against people’s will feels wrong and certainly is aggravating and agitating society at all levels.
Here are some questions many are asking. Is this demand of social intervention likely to have any longer-term 2nd and 3rd degree consequences? Keeping fresh uninfected hosts available to the virus where it can adapt and become even stronger over time? Perhaps making future generations more susceptible or vulnerable to infections?
No one dares to speak against the orthodox views of the Main Stream Media and the societal elites who control the narrative out of fear of reprisal. There are a lot of dangerous consequences that we are not even considering, and any evidence against the orthodoxy is suppressed, criticized or ignored. Why are we unable to get rational reasonable agreement on a course of action? This is further evidence of disconnects among ideological groups that are in need of healing.
THE VIOLENCE AND CHAOS IN AMERICA
There is a small minority of angry protesters that engage in reckless brutality of people and property. They do not reflect the values or personage of all protesters. There is also a small minority of angry police that engage in reckless brutality, but again they do not reflect the values or personage of all police. Stereotyping groups of people, a company or organization on the actions of a few individuals is not only unproductive but is fraught with dangers to threaten the peace of society.
Who deserves to be treated fairly with compassion, dignity and respect? Most everyone agrees this should be the rallying cry for a better humanity. Who is publically rejecting these spiritual principles for human connection?
The mainstream media used to be a unifying tool to manage the community narrative. Today they are caught in their own nihilistic ideological bubble delighted to push the disconnections. The system is crumbling before our eyes. To those not spiritually grounded there is terror in personally analyzing where this chaos is headed.
If you’re suffering with fear and worry you need to embrace your own personal spiritual quest to find clarity. This is where you look inward at yourself, into your own spiritual space for honest self exploration. Look deep within to see where you harbor bias and hatred. The hate and negative vibrations are becoming louder and louder and they will not stop unless you change. The nihilistic hate and anger is hurting all those participating in the separation.
PEACE FROM THE CHAOS IS INSIDE OF YOU
To find your own peace and comfort among the hostility requires personal spiritual discernment. Where are you stuck and where are you acting out unconsciously? This is first and foremost to discover in your own spiritual quest. It begins with observing you and your own inner spiritual condition. You must first reach deep inside yourself, look in your own spiritual space to discover where you need to work.
In the spiritual quest you are seeking to connect with the peace and love that are in you. This is where the healing must start. Learning to embrace self love is where you build the inner fortitude to improve your world. If you do not love yourself how can you ever love others? Looking deep within yourself you will find the connections back to your spiritual roots of love. God is love!
After completely reconnecting with your spiritual roots you will become powerful in helping others too. Through your inner connections to the spiritual characteristics of love and caring you have discovered beyond the limiting blockages within yourself. You now have the power of your own inner spiritual relationship to leverage. It will fill you with powerful amazing positive sensations, as you reconnect with love as the source of light and life.
Continuing to pursue your new inner spiritual connection you will slowly progress and discover your courage to free yourself from the dying system that is collapsing around you. Soon you will be able to recognize and acknowledge the larger picture. You will see the blockages and disconnects within the societal group or groups to which you belong. This will require courage because the energy of the group is often much stronger than you alone as an individual. You may fear losing their favor and becoming a victim among your own circle of influence. Stay focused on who you are inside, in your spiritual space, do not cave in to this pressure.
SUFFERING WILL CONTINUE WITH OTHERS
This darkness and fear has been leading to more and more isolation among groups in conflict. Stay strong in your spiritual quest practice. Do not get caught off guard or you can be swept away again by the toxic chatter.
The group collective has become so powerful that individuals suffer at even hearing words that contradict their group ideologies. You must be open and loving in hearing new ideas and contrasting points of view as you expand in consciousness.
People are refusing to even dialog with their own family and friends that contradict their views. The very freedom of speech and access to education, which for centuries was the goal to enlighten the world, are now viewed as evil manipulations, attacked as disinformation.
The cancel culture forbids open dialog and exploration into any ideas that violates the ideology. In your spiritual space you need not be tied to these divisive concepts. You are open to loving and sharing with others from all sides, finding the positive connections in everything.
The calling we are promoting here with the spiritual quest is one of love and connection. This has to extend beyond our own tribes and ideological groups. This must spread to those who are not “like-me” those who see the world differently than you.
These love and care connections are the spiritual evolution required of humanity. This is the spiritual quest that is demanding a change in our nature among all those who will survive and thrive on this planet. Are you willing and able to hold-tight to this spiritual space within yourself? Your spiritual health depends upon it.
THE DISUNITY AMONG THE RELIGIOUS
Even those people who have a religious tradition in spirituality need to reach beyond their own group. There are new age religions in America; like the millions of Jehovah’s Witnesses who pursue love and connection as followers of Christ. There are twice as many followers of Joseph Smith, previously known as the Mormon’s, who also follower Christ as the Latter Day Saints movement. Both of these religions are made up of amazing spiritual minded individuals committed to their fellow worshipers.
Both of these groups are very well organized in communities of love and connection. Despite tremendous positive influence within their own communities, neither group is able to adopt the other with the same bonds of loving connection. Why can’t these spiritual minded people find common love connection outside their own groups?
There are also tens of millions of religious people connected through the faith of Abraham. Muslims, Jews and Christians all love one another within their own belief systems showing tremendous loyalty and devotion to their own. However just like the new age religions these foundational religious communities cannot seem to connect with each-other despite their mutual common heritage.
The same is true with other spiritual communities that extend through the areas in the east. Followers of Hinduism with Sikhs, Buddhists and Jains, despite all these people with tremendous spiritual love and peace proponents they cannot seem to penetrate beyond their own.
These individual tribal alliances and cultures have held together civilizations for time and memorial. Now these rock solid foundational communities seem to be breaking apart at a record pace; are they no longer of value? Despite all the loving connections that each of these spiritual communities espouse why can they not connect with one another?
This is a spiritual deficiency which needs to be discovered on the individual level as part of the spiritual quest. Inside ourselves we discover our deeper connections as fellow global citizens.
The children and young people today recognize that dogmatic religious and secularist views are unhealthy for our future as a world community. Our world population is reaching a break out point where many are rejecting religion but willing to embrace the love in spirituality. This is the path of the spiritual quest.
CONNECTION IN THE SPIRITUAL SPACE
Millions of people in the spiritual space are active participants trying to heal our ailing world. Spreading love and connection with others above and beyond our individual differences is the spiritual quest. Your being here reading this shows you are among those sensing your own inner spiritual calling.
You are sharing in this spiritual experience that is changing our world. You are sensing the chaos and the trouble as a sign of a spiritual transition spreading across the globe.
All those on their own internal spiritual quest are discovering beyond the limits of these long-held religious traditions. These open-minded loving hearts are rising above the contradictions and arguments that trap many people not in the spiritual space.
Those on the spiritual path are helping to move humanity from their animalistic inclinations of self-survival to this higher spiritual degree of love and connection among the whole of humanity. Honest love and connection is our common language and all humanity will respond to this message when it is authentically felt.
