Many are talking about a Paradigm Shift these days. Indeed, it is clear to me that something is going on. Science and spirituality seem to be converging, people from all sectors of study seem to be calling out that there is a change occurring, leaders of a new sort are emerging and ‘communities’ sharing common dreams of peace and love are coming together from across enormous geographic distances thanks to the internet. While I know there are many still living in a world of pain, fear, discomfort, or the zone of drudgery, it seems clear that there is also a kind of Mass Awakening that is spreading across the earth and human consciousness. There is a Shift in Consciousness – and priorities – of the sort we may never have seen before. What are the elements of this Paradigm Shift?
All is well. The ‘shift’ you ask of is one that begins – and is still primarily perceived – from the inside. It is indeed a shift in consciousness; an altering of awareness from the individual, separate self to one of collective unity. In short, it is the growing awareness of Oneness or, as you like to describe it – Unity Consciousness.
As this awareness of the ultimate Oneness of All that Is rises within individual consciousness, a shift then occurs, for it becomes less possible to perpetrate cruelties upon others with the recognition that others are, at the deepest level, also a part of the self.
Science offers this understanding through the revelation of the quantum field which links all – energy, matter, and thought. Spiritual leaders of every rainbow hue are speaking and sharing this ancient knowledge – revealing what had been known once before. But it is within the individual consciousness that the full blossoming of this understanding of Unity is now taking place. It is a knowing beyond intellectual comprehension.
In the recognition of Oneness, intentions and priorities shift from competitive or fear-based self-priority, (often seen manifest as cruelty, greed or domination), to one of collective upliftment. Paradoxically, of course, those awakening to their Unity with All that Is also begin to grasp deeply the value of personally experienced joy, peace, love and happiness. For it is only in the experience of such positive feelings that one can share the upliftment – vibrationally and interactively – with others. It is only in a state of Joy and Appreciation that an individual can make choices that are of benefit to all.
The Paradigm Shift is the shift from a consciousness defined by separation, isolation and disempowered loneliness to one of Unity – the recognition that you are entirely a part of All that Is. The shift is a shift in consciousness that allows humans to recognize not just a collective human family but a connection with the material elements of Earth, all energy that is or ever was, and beings of every kind. This shift is the portend of the Age to come.
We have discussed before the deep and abiding value of Forgiveness, because forgiveness is one doorway to Unity Consciousness. In the act of deeply forgiving oneself or others, the illusory barrier that once separated self from other or self from what you might call ‘god’, can dissolve.
Forgiveness can be both the means to and the result of Unity Consciousness. The relationship of the two is interlinked in either direction. For it is from an understanding of Unity that one is also able to shed the grudges and would-be ‘wounds’, effectively melting away anger, resentment and fear of the ‘other’ who may have caused or intended you harm.
Appreciation is another vehicle to and result of Unity Consciousness. Through a commitment to Appreciation, one’s consciousness begins to shift from that of isolated and powerless individualism to a vibration more akin to Love as Consciousness. Simultaneously, as one awakens to the vibration of Unity, a sense of Appreciation for all life and all experiences organically emerges.
Forgiveness and Appreciation allow the old skin of separation consciousness to shed. Each are the consequence of and vehicle to Unity Consciousness – the Shift in Awareness which, when collectively undertaken, results in a Shift of Paradigm.
Science, and a new generation of spiritual spokespersons have offered the gift of understanding that thought, intention and emotions are the substance from which your physical reality is created. This is new information for most and thus most humans continue to take ‘baby steps’ toward mastering their thoughts and feelings. But recognize that this is the beginning and not the definition of what is to come.
The former paradigm, held in the consciousness of much of humanity for several thousand years now, has been one of separation and hierarchy – one in which power rested outside the self. Without a recognition of personal power and authority, or a feeling of oneness with all life, it was therefore easy to submit to the unwanted for most, and to dominate and perpetrate unacceptable cruelties for the few. This consciousness has been deeply ingrained into the human collective, and therefore the systems and structures of humanity.
But trust now, that this epoch is coming to a close and it is those of you now ‘shifting’ who herald and lead the change. This is a time of rejoicing, for you as a human family are expanding to something more than you have ever been. You are expanding in Consciousness and Understanding, yes. But more than that, you are expanding in the capacity to vibrate what you call Love. The Heart center of the human being is beginning to re-flower after long centuries of disconnection from the rest of the human operating system. Many of you recognize the excitement of this time and we encourage you to bask in the delight of this reconnection and expansion taking place.
As you expand and celebrate the rising consciousness of your Divinity, your Oneness, and your Heart’s re-activation, remember that each individual will come to this understanding in their own time. There is no need to force, foist, preach or demand that others expand with you. For all know their Oneness deep in the seed of their being. As more come to Awaken to their true, divine nature, the vibration itself serves to offer this light to others. The time of preaching and demanding the modified behavior or beliefs of others is over. We assure you, this old paradigm is coming to its close and only those vested in their perceived power within it are still willing to cling.
If you feel inspired to share your experience and knowing with those already seeking this expansion, you will know in your being that it is right, for it will feel joyful to both. But for those not ready for this change, offer your blessed appreciation, for they too, are a part of you – the Divine, experiencing its infinite possibilities.
Thus the elements of the Paradigm Shift include:
- A recognition of the Oneness of All that IS
- Through this recognition, the desire to allow Forgiveness to emerge within the self.
- The recognition that personal upliftment cannot but offer upliftment to ALL.
- The desire, therefore, to cultivate Appreciation and Joy in order to feel good.
Breath from the heart. Know your Oneness with All that Is. Forgive, forgive, forgive – it opens the energetic channels that allow the deep sense of Oneness to expand within you. Choose to find things to appreciate as often as possible. Choose to change your thoughts when they turn to old patterns that induce negative feelings. As you get better at this, you will KNOW who you really are. You will come to know, with certainty, your true, Divine Nature.
Thank you.
