As this is communicated effectively, people will need help exercising their prerogative to choose in accordance with their higher self instead of their separate self. As more people come forward and participate from the context of their larger self-perspective, this process will gather speed and so will its rate of acceleration.

What if people were to re-discover the true power of their free-will? When people feel powerless, they withdraw into a deeper sense of separation and helplessness. Connecting with the heart and higher self provides insight into new solutions and offers a new type of hope based in certitude and intention for a positive future. Knowing and using our innate power to set intentions and make choices leads to advanced democracy and more mature planetary citizenship. (Strategies leading to greater connection, awareness, and action are addressed in subsequent chapters.)

Choosing out of higher motivation is really about thought or consciousness determining form, instead of tacitly allowing existing forms to determine consciousness. This is not about changing limited, old paradigm forms and expecting them to serve entirely new purposes. This is more like reaching into the well of one's own spirit, of one's own higher self, to help a new future self emerge into the present. This is what can create a positive future that works for everyone. To do this requires new ways of thinking, as well as of being. It is essential to our well being that we be aware of this.

Language and our use of it plays an important role in social or group consciousness. It can help in discerning the right choices.
