What Separates?

It has been a very busy month in my world. I have been thinking about "us vs. them" for most of that time. Finally, this morning I have space to write about "separation".

With the elections approaching fast, the political rhetoric is heating up. Our nation has been fashioned into camps of blue or red. The entire process has become about which "candidate" is the worst one. What is lost is "who has the skills to bring to the policy making tables that will bring benefit to our citizens and our environment?". In fact, how many have been guilty of withholding the skills, insights, support and resources in order to make the other guys look bad? The political focus has not been on how can we come together as U.S. citizens and elected officials in order to make changes for the Good of all but on demonizing the opposition.

Separation .... Division .... Disaster

Every concept or way of thinking creates a separate group. Even the unconscious thoughts that we inherited as children tie us into "group think". In fact, it is the unacknowledged concepts that hold us most powerfully as they are the ones that go unexamined. Traditional ways of thinking have been in place for us and our family for generations. They create the "tribal mind" that Carolyn Myss speaks of. Such as, the world is unsafe, secrets are kept within the family, men are designated to rule.

Another very powerful group of constructs are those that fashioned by "god". They are untouchable. "God says". . .  causes wars on the personal level as well as on the world scene. Outrageous, atrocious acts have been justified because "we are acting for god" or "god says it is so".

Diversity is the nature of our life on this planet. Being clones was never the point or goal. Indeed, the very opposite was true. One purpose for earth experience is to manifest in diverse ways. The challenge is, "How many varieties of our Divine Good Nature can be identified, manifested and experienced on this planet?"

Consider this. Our Divine state of Being is not our finite physical body. Our Divine state of Being is the infinite "body" of energy we call intelligence, etheric, consciousness. That which holds life is unseen by physical senses and exists as vast field of Beings of intelligence and consciousness. Each Being is like a drop of color or sound within an unlimited field of color and sound.

There is a great field of Intelligence. of which you are a part, that underlies all life

In this illustration, you have a side view of energy intelligence. At the bottom there is all that is possible. Some call it Source, Intelligence, Greater, etc. This is not the field of "gods".

The next level up you see that even in the vast field of Intelligence, we have the option of aligning our "unseen" body to those who choose a similar specific vibration which becomes a unique experience. In the illustration you see choice alignment creating colorful whirling tornadoes. The variety adds richness to the field.

This is how our diversity looks from above...

The idea that we are separate from one another is not our deep truth. It is true that there is not another human being exactly like you. It is true that we have unique experiences. It is also true that we intended to experience variety and them share with one another what that experience was like. What is true also is that divisiveness and separation have occurred because we have forgotten the field of our Divine state of One. We have forgotten that we are each one part of unlimited intelligence, creativity, inventiveness. We have forgotten that our Divine state is all aspects of good; generous, honoring, respectful, loving. We have bought the less than "divine concept" that "if you are not with us, you are against us". We have gotten stuck in the lower, reptilian brain that identifies anything, or anyone unlike us as the "enemy". In a culture that sees only those who think and act the same as "good", everyone is an "enemy to be ignored, diminished, or killed.

Any group; red, green, blue, yellow, white, blue, violet, etc. is only a small portion of what is possible and only a limited view of our Divine intelligence. If you are in a red "group think" then you see only red, think only red, experience only red and are sure that the other possibilities would be harmful. Whether the "group think" represents a concept of "god", a change idea, a savior leader, it is limited by the very nature of humanness. In human body suits we are finite. At any one time we can only experience a portion of all that is possible. What prevents us from becoming locked into limits, blame, judgment, fear and conflict is our ability to hold a mental/spiritual view that diversity is good. It is the ability to create a large enough space that we can hear the unique experiences of others.

No matter how enlightened, how messianic, how grand one idea or person is, that is only one small possibility within the unlimited greatness of our Divine Nature. Even "god" is an example of limited thinking. Holding tightly to your "god" is like being in the golden web above, missing out on the richness of pink, blue, green, red, violet, brown, orange, yellow and aqua.

Since the lower reptilian brain see all ideas, projects or individuals who are unlike you as dangereous, unless intercepted, the brain triggers conflict, judgement and discounting. It is your conscious ability to choose from a bigger picture understanding that evolves you. That choice to discern opens the door to investigate the values that any new brings.

Survival reptilian or higher curiosity and problem solving? Our world is at the evolutionary cusp.
