Simplicity
and Unity
A Spiritual Focus for Our World
To live with simplicity is to
unburden our lives—to live more lightly, cleanly,
aerodynamically. ~Duane Elgin

| At
a time when we have heard the spectrum of excuses for the
failing order in place and unworthy actions that ask for our
trust just long enough until the next dupe... the shifting
of the pieces on the chessboard are rearranging into new patterns
of thought and behavior. This peaceful warrior has recognized
the timely fact that an inner re-evolution must meet the outer
need. Our inner paradigm is reflected outwardly into the world,
so when we do not like something, we must look within and
make those inner adjustments. Keep in mind that kindness to
self and all life is a “pay it forward” type of
energy. We attract what we emanate. Physical and mental soundness
are attendant upon positive attitudes. When we our efforts
benefit life, our reflection then becomes a focused beam of
light, emanating love and clarity of purpose and we lead by
example. Living
by example is a way that social memes are created into acceptance,
both positive and negative. They are the transgenerational
conditionings of world societies. So, here we must question
our beliefs and how they came to be. From those beliefs,
what example are we reflecting into the world? This is where
we each share a piece of our selves, our energy imprint
into the collective mindstream - the database of consciousness.
What are we emanating and revealing to the world about our
selves? What part of us are we giving our attention to,
ego or Spirit?
Ponder these questions because amidst the outer chaos and
political theatre is a nebulous transition that is opportune
in loosening the stranglehold on our body-mind. In the eventuality
that these points of tensions meet, that is inner reality
with outer reality, the bubble of illusion is pierced. In
its bursting, glamour loses its appeal as it stands revealed
for what it is, an illusion. We then see the magnetic lure
of illusion as a weight on personal creativity and a downslide
into mediocrity. We finally get that the deep focus on material
things that society upholds as “must-have’s”
has always been at the cost of spiritual values for the
upholding of the ego structure. Remember, that power and
perception go hand in hand.
Change occurs
via the mind. And, as we step back, shift our consciousness
to realign and redirect our growing pains from things that
burden and distract us from living our Greater Self, we
see how the global financial crisis is a move towards the
freedom of simplicity that enables us to formulate a new
world thought. A simpler approach to life offers tremendous
opportunity to serve the souls plan as a great “army
of implacable spiritual will,” in a time of momentous
decision.

“Simplicity and unity are related, for simplicity
is one-pointedness of outlook and clarity of purpose, and
these are descriptive of life lived at a point of spiritual
tension. In such a state one becomes a participant in a
process of distribution of spiritual energy from the highest
realms of our planetary life to the outermost reaches of
life on earth, and this is the opportunity [before us].”
~Lucis Trust
The imperative
of our Age is about goodwill—the sharing of resources
and cooperation. As a responsive cooperative channel–the
collective heart of humanity and Mother Earth herself makes
every effort to release the waters of life and pour it forth
for a thirsty world. Earth is a part of us and reacts to
the Universal Energy field of the collective of humanity
and since there is no opposing force strong enough to transform
the subconscious, the way to heal it is through new experiences
that play out differently than the old. When we imagine
a better world and share through good-will we eventually
make the inner shift real in the outer world. Everyone quenches
their thirst and swims in the waters of the Divine heart
of creation, the waters that support the womb of life, that
seed thought, that nourishes the Soul.

This
sharing in all human relations is the gift of the Aquarian
Age for it contains the seeds of solution to the world’s
crisis on all levels of living, both personal and in all relations,
human and otherwise. Sharing opens the heart and lets in the
flow of Love to absorb, circulate and distribute throughout
the world.
Let us, as a cohesive, united force
of Light begin to understand the significance of group power
in these quickening stages of our evolution and set as an
example, the characteristic of sharing of new ideas for future
sustainability on all levels of existence born through the
genuine desire to help, and thus, to lead firmly with commitment
and appropriate action to assure that the outcome is what
we envision. Alice
Bailey wrote that, “this sharing, beginning on the
physical plane, will prove equally true of all human relations
and this will be the great gift of the Aquarian Age to humanity.”
We are wise
to expand our vector of consciousness to the fact!

The
average age of the world's greatest civilizations has
been two hundred years.
These nations have progressed through this sequence:
From bondage to spiritual faith;
from spiritual faith to great courage;
from courage to liberty;
from liberty to abundance;
from abundance to selfishness;
from selfishness to complacency;
from complaceny to apathy;
from apathy to dependence;
from dependency back again into bondage.
~Sir Alex Fraser Tyler: (1742-1813) Scottish jurist and
historian
