Return to Innocence

At this time in our societal evolution, it might seem from a certain point of view that we are not evolving. In our reality I feel there are always multiple points of view or vantage points from which we are to come to a conclusion.
The media has always purported negativity, focusing on the tragedies within the collective human experience. We know this. The effect of this is that for some of those that take in the news feel the weight of what is supposedly going on in the world. And yet this is incomplete and still people have been so brainwashed that to look at the world through the spiritual lens of evolution seems obtuse as perhaps they feel these people are denying what is right in front of them.
For over a decade I have been holding space for multi-dimensional healing facilitation sessions and one thing that has been clear to me through these experiences with clients is that what our mind tells us and what our senses take in as reality is so far from the complete picture that it is truly stunning to behold. This is my reality and my lens and I know that it is not others nor is it denying the validity of what the senses and mind report as the truth.
We are motivated and manipulated by fear. This is unfortunate, but throughout history this has been proven to be true. It has been a motivator, a tool for tyrants, kings, and plutocrats and has a lasting impression on our history. Often times reminding us of what not to do because of the consequences that have occurred in the past. If we don’t remember, then history books are sure to remind us.
We have been collectively stunted emotionally, meaning emotional intelligence has not been a priority as far as societal development. Why is that? How would our history have changed if this was taught as a foundation alongside intellect within academia? How do you feel about what you are thinking? What has been dulled within us? Why has intellect been so praised in our society?
The mind or the ego can be seen as an entity that is part of a collective ego consciousness. It is used to having things familiar and the same so that its host can be safe. This is not bad or good; perhaps consider it like hands that can be used to manipulate dough to make bread that will nourish you. Unless there’s gluten in it, just kidding J The hands are under higher guidance, being the mind; they do its bidding. What guidance is the mind under?
This, I feel, is where intellect is formed. We are molded through academia and then often as a result of that shaping we are directed to a profession that aligns with our course of study. All the while our lens with which we use to perceive reality and society is skewed to fit within this limited perception. This is accomplishing a purpose and yet often can leave a feeling of hollowness and even more so during this age of Aquarius when we are being asked to consider our deeper life meaning.
Life is fast and often many demands are placed upon us which we must meet. These are a manifestation of society’s culture of which we are prompted to become a part of. This is considered normal and in many ways is necessary as this is the world that we are taking part in.
There is another reality that is running alongside this one at all times and yet because of the urgency of life it is often ignored. Where has the collective worldview gotten us? Look to the news for that answer.
With the turbulence that perhaps was not all that different than the collective 100 years ago are we repeating this again or is there another path that we can take within ourselves? What choices can we make to clear our minds and not let it have the control that we have given it through our lack of awareness of anything other than its authority and the shortsighted consequences for not adhering to its reality?
Patterns are formed like a schema upon the body’s intelligence. It becomes a program, an addiction that when challenged and asked to grow past these patterns will express an initial distaste or withdrawal. So are we to be victims to our own layers of consciousness? This is our understanding and limitations that we are conditioned to see and experience as normal. If there are other dimensions being interacting with these lower three bodies, are there messages being distorted through our limited lenses?
What is new energy and how do I interpret it accurately when all I have to understand it through is not clean and clear?
The ego mind, as I shared before, wants things to stay the same or within parameters that it can relate to and yet the undeveloped emotional body and somatic physical body hold a key to unravelling that false sense of security. There is a rawness to their collaborative communication that is a clue as to how to challenge the ideology of the mind and its collective human conditioning history.
A part of the is history is the experiences that we have had individually and collectively that have impacted the physical and emotional body, creating trauma, that due to our mental attitude and the limitations is ill-equipped to understand these deeper layers. Our psychology models I feel are helpful but are unable to grasp other dimensions and their influence. As these layers of trauma are being peeled away through metaphysical and multi-dimensional awareness then one is able to see a bigger unfurling leading to origins that often times go further back into family patterns.
Again, as our mind tries to make sense of all of this it often turns itself inside out and either continues to come to conclusions that suit its agenda of feeling safe and in control or it finally lets go and surrenders.
In that moment of surrender, an awakening happens, and we are able to return to the innocence of not knowing. Where we started from as infants.
Once there, our goal is to continue to unknow our existence. This is when the true healing happens for us.
