EXPANSION IS INEVITABLE

I'm realizing so much of the human experience is lived in FEAR; We govern with and in FEAR,  we work in it, travel in it, eat in it, we even pray in it, in fact, religion teaches it, insisting we be fearful.

Somewhere in humanity's development, we have collectively decided FEAR is better than LOVE.  We have accepted it is stronger than LOVE.

Since there are only the two emotions to which everything we are, do, and think, is tied, FEAR seems predominate in our choices. Especially, our first response, knee-jerk response to nearly everything is defensive and derogatory.

Conservatives are the most deeply rooted in FEAR among us. They are literally frozen in FEAR.  The Conservative mind was traumatized in the 1930's with the Great Depression and then WWII, but then came the automated 1950's.  Things were wonderful; Classes in their place and for the most part happy with it, plenty of money to be made on automation, the appearance of society being morally upright and clean, but it wasn't to last.

By the end of the 1950's, change hit the establishment hard and has been pounding it ever since. This is why when Republicans talk about society and the legislation they want to pass, it seems right out of the 50's - because it is!  Their evolutionary growth was stunted by their FEAR. 

Each generation expresses it's FEAR with statements like, "what is this noise, our music was so much better," "they don't make things the way we used to," wasn't Teddy Roosevelt a great president, don't make 'em like that anymore."  I think they really believe nothing has improved, for nothing would have, left to them.


Liberal thinking Progressives like, The Founding Fathers (and Jesus, for that matter), The Dalai Lama, Sam Cooke, The Beatles, Big Mama Thornton, Bessie Smith, Janis Joplin, The Rolling Stones, Stephen Levine, and many others, push the Collective Consciousness into the future; into a new way of seeing, of being in the world. 

Human beings LOVE a challenge because it demands we grow.  It is our nature to expand and to continue to expand.  Hazrat Inayat Kahn, the man who brought Sufism to the West said, "All that is ever going on is our being and becoming." Expansion is inevitable. LOVE is expansive, it makes us vulnerable, and through that vulnerability we get a glimpse of all we are and all we came here to do.  This is Vision.  We are gifted with sight of the larger picture, so we can release what has already been, as it is the staircase to where we're going.  If you were climbing stairs to reach your bedroom, would you stop and camp out on the fifth step?  Or the tenth?  No, you would keep going.

 

The basis of our existence is expansion. You are expanding all along the way, your emotional body's capacity to feel until you realize your true power, your true essence is LOVE, you are eternal, there is only one Spirit and there is nothing you cannot overcome.

Accept the LOVE you are, for to deny it is to cast aside the gift of this experience. Release the past, it's over.  Embrace the change you keep calling forth, simply by making the different choice or the one which conflicts with your preconceived notions, not the easy one. Strive to be a better human being than you were yesterday.  In all things, look for the evidence of LOVE's presence, for it is there.  Choose to be happy, it keeps your vibration up to speed with optimistic outcomes. LOVE yourself and watch the world change!
