The Tipping Point
Of all the species, only human beings make a problem of life. This began a long time ago with the impulse to control nature as the environment. The results are the world and destructive symptoms of human nature we must all toil in today. As a race we have barely evolved in cosmic evolutionary terms. The physical evolution of the body is complete, but the human consciousness has been unable to match the genius of the instinctual intelligence which regulates the beating heart and protects the survival of the organism.
There have always been widespread pandemics that have decimated millions. The difference in the modern age is the speed, not only in which a virus spreads but by the information and data about how best to deal with the crisis. The politicians and scientists are often at loggerheads on how to handle the situation, resulting in confusion and misleading advice. The heightened frenzy of the media feeds the overall paranoia, which in turn stokes the politicians to be more assertive; this inevitably stirs the emotional ambience of the public to vent their angst against the system. The cure for Covid 19 will be discovered sooner or later, but this will only be short term before some other crisis befalls the planet as another effect of the dishevelled human condition.
Life for many people is becoming increasingly stressful with another day lived on the edge of despair. The tipping point is when there’s a conviction that you can’t go on. But the truth is that you are going on each moment through simply coping with the often extreme pressure to attend to the practicalities of living. Somehow, despite feelings to the contrary, everything that needs to be done gets done. And often there follows a period of respite when there’s an opportunity to observe in wonder the extraordinary process of life taking care of everything. This inner impulse to selflessly serve life begins as gratitude for what is provided now. Everybody has something to be grateful for, even if it’s the acknowledgment of the new day and the home that gives shelter and warmth.
There is great activity on planet earth; but looking down from outer space nothing specific is seen to be happening. It’s the same with the inner process. As the perception pulls back from the identification with the formal world, existence is perceived through stillness without the need to focus on anything in particular. And yet when necessary, the attention is able to be directed to any matter at hand. In truth, the tipping point is a creative climacteric that ushers in a new phase of life when there is the opportunity to surrender more to the liberating state of being.
Each man or woman is their own master, a unique spiritual idea within the eternal mind. In the approach to this pinnacle of reality, each must eventually reach the tipping point of no return. An indication that someone is close to merging with this divine potential is when the person declares with deep sincerity that they are no longer willing to be a slave to the treachery of their self. They know beyond doubt that it is the force of their turbulent emotions and relentless mental activity which has kept them imprisoned by a tyrannical entity of pain. To be willing is all that’s necessary for the liberating power of the spirit to change the life for good – not just a part but the whole living experience as an inner and outer reality of a life where wonders never cease, regardless of what is happening in the world.
From my limited perspective there is what appears to be a “war” going on, not only for the souls of folks, but quite possibly for real estate of this planet. For many years I was not conscious of my program. My spiritual journey has been a slow journey and a gradual progression of becoming conscious that I am a powerful co-creator of my reality. Thoughts and emotions come and go. It is my task to observe them. I am the observer and while I do not want to be negative or bypass necessary healing from the trauma of being in this 3D dimension from any standpoint that is not life affirming, I try to not react to what has been called pendulums. I try to walk the middle ground and see all situations as teachers. I practice Vipassana mediation and will begin a ten day retreat next week for which I am eternally grateful. I seems as energetic beings the matrix does little to school us in the mysteries of energy, thoughts and reality. We appear from this vantage point to be almost slaves to our senses. I now having experience multiple what would be classified as mystical experiences and understand that my sense are a filter that keeps me from seeing what’s happening on many other dimensions. I have hugged and forgive a man that raped my daughter and heard thunder. I have drank Auyajuaska and seen ancestors. I have received multiple reoccuring syncronicities. (spelling). I see numbers like 11:11, 333 etc multiple times a day. That being said, I am well on my journey on this dark and amazing planet. I do not know what the hell is going on. I don’t know but I do know my senses pick up .0001 per cent or less of what is going on. Peace to you. I find your writing very wonderful and have to read them multiple times. A lot of the times I feel I do not understand what you write. Your concepts feel beyond me. Debra Williams
This is a good description of someone immersed in the spiritual process who is endeavouring to contain the forces of existence while holding to the love of the unknown. What can you do? Precisely what you’re doing. ‘I do not know what the hell is going on’. It’s the knower that is the intellectual monitor that doesn’t know what’s going on. This is because the truth of existence cannot be understood and is beyond the reasoning analytical mind. What is happening is a transition between knowing and pure knowledge. The mind translates the sensory world as indirect communication from the inner source. The mystical or deeper intimations of the psyche are the direct knowledge of reality. The way that the human system becomes accustomed to the direct knowledge of life is through increasing stillness and surrender to the inviolable mystery within. Thank you for your comments Debra.
Thank you for your insightful words. They shine the light when darkness seems to ingulf.
The only thing that is clear to me, I need to raise my consciousness so I may in my small way help the evolution of the collective consciousness.
Be unknowing is also very helpful.
