Our society generally informs us that we have the freedom to choose foods, styles of dress, jobs, schools, to marry or not, to vote or not, etc. Each of these choices includes a consequence or outcome. For some, material possessions, wealth, and the advantages of career advancement with absolutely no consideration of a larger/higher perspective and the impact on others have become addictions.
Consequently, choices at this level do
not involve very much
of our higher or larger
self. If we do not
know any better than believing that the only game is what is
presented through social-political norms – if we don't know any
better than to continue making limited choices, then how can
society as a whole change how it functions? Too often the result
is a cynical, self-defeating, "can't change
the system" attitude
where positive "future-present" choices are obscured and dismissed
as impractical or impossible.
This culturally reinforced
sense of isolation
keeps us from living in a more awakened way that further encourages
emergence of a higher state of awareness and being for all, regardless
of what generation we are a part of.
It is time to change "the game" and the very rules describing "the game." It is time for the emerging new paradigm to become more evident for people to see, to compare, and to experience a fundamental difference for themselves. This will encourage more people to choose a positive future rather than a paradigm that continues to devolve into chaos.
Our current norms are not based on the immediate-now and they're not based on future-present. At best they are past-present. Yet throughout history, there have always been forward-looking people whose concerns and intentions are for the highest good of all. No matter what their personal circumstances, there are people operating from a level of timeless freedom that is perhaps difficult for many of us to imagine.
Currently, more and more people identify with forward-looking, positive values and beliefs and
the positive belief systems
they are embodying are increasingly "out of sync" with established
norms. This can lead to a collective breakthrough in which large numbers of people create a new future and a greater level of freedom they can barely imagine at first.
Communicating this potential and facilitating people to act on these higher principles is of paramount importance now.
