Many people in society today work at jobs they don’t
like, and find
themselves with little or no time for activities that
increase the quality
of their lives. Such people are out of alignment with
their inner selves.
Traditionally, society has pressured people into
conformity. Peer pressure
to conform to an immediate social group begins at school
because, from an
early age, people are taught that they should conform to
outside standards.
In England, the phrase “know your place” is used as a
put-down to someone
who has started to become outstanding in some way. In
Australia, the
traditional phrase is “cut down the tall poppies.” In
Japan, it is “The
nail that sticks up shall be pounded down.”
However, this pressure towards conformity has been
lessening in recent
decades, and it will continue to lessen as people
realize that there is
strength in diversity. Diversity is natural. Conformity
is unnatural. In
the universe, every snowflake, every person, and even
every proton is
unique. Together, the sum of the parts makes up a
perfect universe of
infinite diversity.
Diversity is designed into the universe because the
universe exists in
order that Infinite Being, the All That Is, may gain an
infinite variety of
experiences. In the case of human beings as expressions
of the one source,
we have freewill so that we can makes choices. Making
choices, and
experiencing the results of those choices, is what human
life is all about.
Inner alignment means becoming more of your true self.
Your inner being is
your true self, and by developing your inner potential,
you express more
and more of your true self.
In heart-centered, New Reality consciousness, mutual
support is shared
between people. That means that being different is good,
developing
personal skills is good, and exploring your own
potential is good. Deep
within, everyone is equal. However, in your unique form
of expression in
the outer world, you are different to everyone else. Not
better or worse, not
more-than or less-than; just different, because
diversity is natural and is
honored through mutual respect.
The New Reality of heart-centered consciousness is being
built on this
Earth, one person at a time. New Reality consciousness
is a supportive and
empowered state of consciousness, rather than the Old
Reality consciousness
of separation and fear.
When a person manifests their own unique, inner being,
they become aligned,
in the way that a laser beam is aligned, rather than
being scattered by
external should’s and should-not’s. When many people in
society become
aligned in their own personal power, the whole becomes
far more influential
than the sum of the parts. In fact, it becomes
exponentially more powerful.
When enough pioneers choose New Reality consciousness,
there will come a
day when their powerfully aligned influence will reach a
critical mass.
Then, it will transform the remainder of society and,
suddenly, everyone
will “get it.” Society, as a whole, will then realize
that heart-centered consciousness
is the way forward into creating its bright, new future.
