Creating the New Consciousness

Whether it is happening to us or because of us, it is plain to those with eyes to see that humanity is being forced to examine itself. It is in these moments of crisis that we are best equipped to make lasting change.

Take a good hard look at how you are living your life. Are you assisting humanity in evolving? Are you helping to manifest our New Consciousness?

The New Consciousness, as I define it, is a major new unfolding of evolution in the human species. It is flowering from our collective unconscious, and manifests in three major ways:

Individual Sovereignty

Each person understands that the responsibility and power for one’s own life rests squarely on hers or his shoulders. In a time when so much of our personal power has been given away to authority figures, governments, spouses, friends and family, we must take back and own our sovereignty as living beings in the universe. We must plant our own feet on the ground and recognize we are each self-governed; all change and all effort must come from within and from ourselves.

It means that we respect and love every other sovereign being on this planet, no matter who they are or what they have done. It means that we choose now to direct the course of our lives. It means that if we want community, we create it. It means that if we choose to live in a New Consciousness, we start within and create it first within ourselves.

Integral Vision

Operating integrally, we recognize that we are all connected. Animals, plants and humans; nations, cultures and tribes. We are all part of one ecosystem, all part of one consciousness, and what we do to each other we do to ourselves. We acknowledge and embrace all perspectives–subjective, objective, collective and systemic. We bring together worldviews in a way that validates all perspectives as parts of ever greater wholes.

Aware Presence

In the New Consciousness, we experience life and take action from the present moment, more and more each day. We value direct experience without masks and labels, outside of fear and anticipation. This foundational way of being is built through self-awareness and assisted through meditative practice. Eckhart Tolle successfully explains this key mindset in A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life’s Purpose.

With these three primal factors of the New Consciousness in hand–Individual Sovereignty, Integral Vision, and Aware Presence–you will be part of the vanguard that leads humanity into a transformational era of mutual understanding, peace and freedom.
