Claim Yourself

Negative emotional states have a way of spiralling ever downwards, and with what is going on in the world right now it is difficult to not get caught up in things. Seems every which-way we turn there is news, images or conversations of the ‘downturn’…not just economically speaking, but also environmentally, politically, socially and all that. It’s important to remember that functions of individual consciousness also apply to global consciousness; negative emotional states have a way of spiralling ever downwards.

So we keep our focus on where we want to be, and where we want to go. Or else we follow the crowd and get pulled along where ever they are heading. It appears the ‘crowd’ is growing in size, emotions are rising - there’s that latent energy charging within the crowd, and it gives silent promise of a large and sudden expression. The media, governments, ‘alternative news sites’ are unconsciously and unintentionally feeding that energy, constantly peddling the dynamo, round and round and round.

It’s a reactive situation, so the key is to not be reactive. Instead we can come from the inner processes, being mindful and aware of what is occurring around us, whilst at the same time taking control of our life and our direction. Remember, the economic and political upheaval are symptoms of a problematic system. Be clear in awareness that you are not that system. We don’t have to be reactive. We simply move our awareness to a different place. Consider where you envision society being in six months, one year and one decade. Then take action that moves you towards preparation for all that. No need to view this in the ’survivalist’ sense - that too is a part of the old paradigm - view it instead as you would if you were moving home to a new country or culture. It’s simply a transition to a new way of life.

In short, in the new paradigm we are to learn how to be responsible for our own path, for our own learning, for our own way of being. It has been conclusively proven that systems do not work. So now we work from the inner world.

Unfortunately, a little realism must be added to the equation. Our realities are based on our consciousness, yet I believe our subconsciousness can manipulate the subconscious. However, certain events in our lives dictate our reality. Someone who is protected from the current economic turmoil may have the ability to counsciously block out what is going on around the world. But someone who is affected such as lby osing their job, their home, etc. may not find it so easy.

I am a firm believer in trying to not live in this world or in this consciousness. Yet certain events remind me that I do, indeed, dwell in this reality. It is these events that cause our subconscious and conscious to collide and quite possibly why we must endure this reality, or level of consciousness, before we can move on to another.

Reading pauls comment it seems as though he missed the context of this post. breaking ourselves away from the influence of others is what we need to do to achieve this consciousness. as individuals we shouldn’t let the thoughts of others effect what we do. we have been given a body and a mind to do whatever we want with for a lifetime and we choose to use them to become more acceptable by the standards of others. We all have different paths in life, we need to follow our own paths, and do so without worry.
