We perceive the would as we see it. Everything we see around ourselves is the result of our collective consciousness that I call the Maze. It is full of unpredictable turns and unexpected dead ends. There is no place for argument of any kind because our fears and needs drive our perspective. The only way out of the Maze is by looking up and lifting one’s consciousness above the Maze.
The Maze is made up of rights and wrongs and good and bads, at the same time there isn’t a true right or a true wrong because it is all personal. As equals, we can only meet on a higher ground where we don’t look for justification of our beliefs.
Trust me, I have my own share of fears and needs and so have I my beliefs about the state of the world. But I know them to be untrue. In my case, they are mostly driven by a great need for security. I am sure, others can relate. I often see a broken world and I try to fix it. Then I remember that it is just a perception, I do not see the whole picture, not in its totality. So, I let go.
Gandhi’s famous saying “Be the change you want to see in the world!” reminds us th way forward. No powerful man will ever create a prosperous, peaceful, etc. world for us all. We must create the world we wish to live in within ourselves. The fear, lack, illness, etc. we experience is ours, not of the world.
It maybe challenging to believe until you actually try it, but as you lift your gaze out of the maze, into the silence, above the chatter of the mind, you will find peace. It is often momentary, but with each trial there is more and more success.
The shift in consciousness can only come with ‘elevation’. It is not by accidents that the saints are portrayed ‘looking up’. Looking out of the Maze and moving into a state of Oneness or Wholeness generate a new kind of energy. This energy will emanate all that we bring down from our ‘inner’ experiences in the world as we go about our business. Masses of this elevated energy with show a new way for us all.
