Last months theme on the Principles of the New Age was the Law of Group Endeavor. The Law of Group Endeavor can only be externalized properly through the Principle of Unanimity. But, what exactly is unanimity? Is it the same as uniformity? Unanimity is a sovereignty of being. It comes from two Latin roots—“uni,” meaning one, and “anima”, meaning soul. Thus, unanimity means the state of being one soul and is more concerned with underlying structures of unification that allow for the soul of humanity to thrive and express Love as the ideal. It is the higher way that unanimously functioning groups or societies operate. Uniformity on the other hand is conformist and has a hierarchical structure. Its social manifestation adheres to religious groups, organizations and societies that demand complete adherence to exclusivist creeds of theological or ethnic superiority. Such strictures of doctrinal limitation concern a collective framework with authoritarian figureheads at their centers. It is the type of social structure outlined in Orwell’s 1984. Maoist China and Stalinist Russia were the social manifestations. On the path of duality we are trekking on a similar path. There is a great struggle today for personal and group liberation. We understand now that “unanimity” speaks directly to the level of the soul and its collective orientation from the perspective of love—it mimics the relationship of the Macrocosm to the microcosm—while “uniformity” speaks about union from the more material levels of expression of the personality, which is filled with restraints on personal and group freedom. A society or group based on unanimity is one where the focus of purpose is centralized in that the common denominator of each individual in that group holds at their core, the awareness or consciousness, the inner goal for any outer endeavor. In effect, the group helps to support and define the individual in the refinement and strengthening of one’s sense of self and personal creativity. Such fostering of care initiates individual alignment of the soul with the personality. Each person then learns to create their outer field of expression so that a multiform potential of creativity is available to that group purpose. Diversity of expression is then made into a practical reality of life. The concept is clear for the Aquarian Age: Freedom, the freedom to be the archetype of oneself. Yet, on the cusp of the New age, as such potentials externalize, we must be ever vigilant to arising conflicts that seek to preserve the old age and to distort the message of Love that the water bearer brings. Energy, the fabric of manifestation, tends to polarize itself into dualistic expressions. For instance, the fundamentalism we see today in Islam, Christian and others are a chaotic set of anchored thought-forms from thousands of years ago. It’s time to move out of martyrdom, victimization and slavery to responsible co-creation of our individual and collective destiny. We must transform our entire scope of expression beyond the cuspal limbo of orientation: one that is non-generative and the other of which is yet to be fully generated. Humanity of every Legion is uniting across many platforms and backgrounds integrating into the consciousness of the whole, networking in order to crystallize the liberating energies of the New Age. Networking clearly exemplifies the Principle of Unanimity and the Law of Group Endeavor, which forms the structural organization that we find via the internet and communications. This global network of connections is forming the awareness of our unified expression of Goodwill and essential unity. This alignment is the dispensation and great gift of this New Age to all of us whoa re ready to accept it. Meditative Technique to Attune to the Principle of Unanimity: 1. Through relaxation
and deep breathing align your lower vehicles—physical, emotional
and mental. Lift the lower self to the higher and experience the
union. Alisa Battaglia
