OCCUPY UPDATE: As it turns out, the only thing we need to change about the world is everything. We are not the first generations to have that revelation however. But perhaps we can be the first generation not to skip the first and most vital step.
Every generation in history that has properly diagnosed what needs to change, that being everything, then stampedes to step 2. This mindless, hysterical herd goes running towards a new philosophy, comes up with some brilliant to do list and the application of the to do list they call a revolution. And a brief look at history will show us that nothing really improves. In fact, things are getting worse. The human society is hitting its collective head up against the same wall over and over thinking that this time it will be different.
So the only thing that needs to change about the world is everything AND that must begin with perspective. Perspective changes when consciousness changes. Consciousness that changes on an individual level affects the collective just like a single stone dropped into a pond affects the entire pond. That is the first step - and it is the one we tend to want to avoid the most. And the tendency is so deeply embedded in our conditioning to go stampeding toward step 2 AGAIN and ignore this first step. It is as if we could afford to keep making this mistake - but we cannot.
Another so-called "revolution" is just more of the same if we fail to acknowledge that consciousness is the ground of all being. What is required at this fragile and urgent stage in our evolution is a revolution of consciousness. That begins with you. Your state of being ripples out and affects those in your presence. Simply modifying your behavior to be more of this and less of that is not the same thing as shifting consciousness.
To shift consciousness is to become aware of ones place in the Unified Field - to remember that you are a drop in the pond, but you are also the pond itself, as the part is not separate from the whole. There is nothing supernatural about this, it is not an achievement. It is more like remembering where you put your keys. We remember who we are.
From that place a new crisis occurs and this is how to re-integrate into a society that has indoctrinated us to believe the big lie. Every message directed at our senses here in Babylon tells us that we are separate, incomplete, that we need this or that to make us whole, it is so very easy to get hypnotized once again and fall back into the big sleep. This is why it is useful to look for ways to be in the company of the truth. To the extent that the individual cultivates a level of consciousness of being in the company of the truth, anyone who is in their presence is also in the company of the truth. You can be that presence and stop living the lie whenever you choose. There is absolutely no one and nothing stopping you from waking up to the truth of who and what you are - not as a concept, but rather a deep knowing.
As a species we evolve or perish, there is no middle ground. And the perishing option involves tremendous suffering - not just to ourselves but as a sadistic legacy we irresponsibly leave to future generations. INACTION IS CRUELTY. We have an opportunity here that we cannot afford to blow by falling back into comfortable patterns that do not serve us. We simply must WAKE UP.
A so-called "revolution" without a profound change in the individual consciousness is a distraction from the real work that must be done. We cannot afford to keep entertaining ourselves with spectacle, group-think and scapegoating. The time has come for consciousness to realize itself - your consciousness - now - today - right now. We created this crisis as psychodrama, as theater to make us take a quantum leap forward in the evolution of consciousness. If you are reading these words its because you went looking for them. Do not hit the snooze bar again. It's time.
