Note from Nat: I am in Australia to do some in-person events with Mark Harradine on the theme of Surrendering to Spirit. To join us, click here for Sydney, here for Byron Bay.
It’s pretty apparent to me that most of the popular ideologies which purport to be creating a “better world”, are actually promoting a framework that is creating more separation, which means they are being used as agents of the negative power. They are do-gooders doing bad. And their fruits are obvious in what we see today in our world.
So where does that leave us as individuals?
Really, in the same place, confronted with the same choices that we have always had. Even if the expression of negativity is more intense now in the collective consciousness on the planet, we still have the same choices.
There is balance spiritually, so with greater light coming onto the planet, there is also greater negativity. The shadows are most intense when the sun is at its brightest.
It is so easy to get caught into this world. That is the design of the negative power. It is very good at what it does. It is here to test us so that we can grow strong in our spiritual awareness, and be secure in our growth.
If you are identifying who you are as anything less than divine, as an extension of God, as that pure unit of energy that is the Soul, then you are identifying with something less than who you truly are.
When you see that an ideology, belief system, or movement promotes people to identify with what differentiates us as more important than those things we all share in common, then its fruits will be greater separation, and that will lead to negative outcomes.
When our commonalities are valued more than our differences, that will lead to greater unity and positive outcomes.
Is separation the same as disagreement? No.
If unity must be forced or coerced then it isn’t actually unity. You can’t have unity in this world without the allowance of divergent views, differences, and disagreements between people. That means looking towards a higher set of values and principles that we all agree is greater than those things that make us different. To have unity, there must be an inherent equality in our respect for individual life regardless of outer differences. You only devalue others when you lack values yourself.
