Do you believe in the evolution of human consciousness?

This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for July 18, 2008:
Slowly but surely, we're getting there.
I see evidence all around me.
Though the jury is not quite in, I have faith.

I agree. Let's hope that we can help sway the jury and hope they have the patience for our slow but sure evolution :)
With over 6 billion members of the jury, we can help sway, most definitely. Speaking to you as a wounded healer, do you have patience, Jenny?
I am throwing this in the wind, “What would accelerate the evolution of human consciousness”?
Increasing awareness that we live in a collapsing (good and bad to that notion) world would accelerate the evolution of human consciousness.
Picture an elevator door closing, an airplane rolling away from the gate, etc.
And you're not on it, though you want to be there.
Or if those analogies don't work for you…
Imagine your head is underwater, struggling for air, frantic struggle ensues…
Then comes the realization you're holding your own head underwater.
Why do that?
Just wake from the dream and live the Dream instead…
I see your point but how do we make it widespread that there will be “mass consciousness” and acceleration of positive human consciousness. Do we want to take the approach of “slowly but surely” or…, what?”
Do we believe this is a natural process and shouldn't be rushed? Is the rush ours or Nature's?
Remember the story of the man 'helping' the moth out of its cocoon? It ended up deformed and unable to function.
Is it up to us to 'accelerate' a process? Or are some of us - and trust me, this includes me as well - just a little [ego-led] impatient?
Whadda ya think?
You, Sherri and Paul know me (we have bonded) and believe me i am not being an a** asking these questions. (LOL)
So does that mean then that we cannot do anything about “wars” that it will take care of itself in time? ; )
That's really the question. It's the toughest thing about acceptance; it might just be out of our hands! I only know that I step out of my comfort zone quite a bit and still only get to 'influence' so much change, that is within my particular space.
The wars are led by individuals that themselves have to experience a shift in consciousness. Get me in their presence and you KNOW I'd work on [with!] them, but it hasn't happened that way so far. I am being led again and again to work with people who are at the other end of the spectrum and encourage them to influence their circle etc. I can only think that somehow the messages are being handled at the other end, and they seem to be influenced by the masses embracing their power, at least just a little. That is what happened in my country for certain… but we as a people have a whole lot less 'invested' in the system; a lot less resistance thank goodness…
I came back to add something and there's already an answer and from you Sherri. Great answer! What I was running back here to add is that, in my estimation, it is the “war mentality” at the least that needs an acceleration in a positive paradigm shift even though of course, the world still have other social and global issues, i.e. poverty, population, etc.
Thanks,
Samme, re: how to 'make it widespread that there will be “mass consciousness” and acceleration of positive human consciousness'…
I believe that none of us will complete the “consciousness raising” journey until the last of us has begun the process. So the least of my kindred spirits, there I am.
What if the 'war' or any observable was just a mystical manifestation of my own mind? That I can choose love or fear (or anything between) at a given moment places an amazing power at my disposal. And a corresponding responsibility too.
Sherri, re: “Get me in their presence and you KNOW I'd work on [with!] them, but it hasn't happened that way so far. I am being led again and again to work with people who are at the other end of the spectrum.”
Do you see yourself in them? Connection and healing requires this, imo. Else, time is lost chasing rabbits…
I go with the surely.
Sherri, more directly, re: “Do we believe this is a natural process and shouldn't be rushed? Is the rush ours or Nature's?
Is it up to us to 'accelerate' a process? Or are some of us - and trust me, this includes me as well - just a little [ego-led] impatient?”
I see humans influencing nature more than any species on the planet. Like a beaver building a dam, part of our nature is to push back on nature. There are limits here that, when overstepped, cause imbalance and suffering.
The Internet is leveling the playing field more than any invention ever. This allows time-collapsed relationships which are able to create familiarity like never before. I seek to restore time-enhanced relationships with my kin, wherever they are.
In short, time, like truth, is my friend.
Thanks Paul. Interesting enough, I feel connection with even the 'tyrants' out there; I see the impact of unchecked base nature and I recognise the power of a strongly intentioned individual - good or bad intention, notwithstanding - on a group. There is absolutely no really logical reason that George W should have acquired that much power over that many people, their lives, their legacy etc. [In this instance I'm speaking about the American people]. But his mind was set and whoever else wanted him there made sure he got it done… But I'm certain he doesn't feel great joy at seeing what his decisions have come down to and I feel compassion for him. I even blogged about it some months back.
So it isn't that I feel separation from anybody, quite the contrary. I know my own ability to find that connection with others and in my own space consistently raise an awareness of, let's say, the big picture of things as profession and as vocation.
So my point really is that I have, on my journey been called to many places where I can speak to people for this same reason, and in many cases there are leaders there as well. And yes, they listen to me. But in terms of real, mobile energy towards change? It's always the innovators, the visionaries, the optimists, the people of significant faith and personal drive that I am the most effective with, and in fact, with whom I get the most pleasure doing my work. And it is interesting, because I am really not scare to step out and challenge these things… but I am not being guided to this.
War disturbs me, in a VERY serious way, and I wish I had the opportunity to connect with those who would lead it. But they are inclined to close themselves off from regular influences, which makes sense if you are in defence mode. I'm just saying that God or whatever we would like to call the influences of nature, will get to them as well in due course, most likely. I just don't know if it is up to us to take it as our 'job'.
Final point as this is going awfully long, is that humans do have a great deal of influence on nature, but we are not ultimately greater and I don't believe we will be anytime in the foreseeable future. We mess with it, do stupid and thoughtless things, but risk killing ourselves out … and the world will go on with or without us. We might as well get with the program and go with the flow that says harmony is the natural state, and imbalances will be adjusted either with our help or sad to say, without. I am still of the belief we as a species couldn't be that stupid to let things come to that extremity. Those holding on to regressive behaviours will be the ones to omit themselves from the inevitability of growth which is nature :D

PS I am seeing a raised consciousness levels in the developing world which is very exciting and is indicative of shifts from other ends of the imbalance scale as well.
Enjoying the discussion.
