So Different From The Past


In a continuation of last week's message, Ishvara speaks of how the true awakening of an individual is not an exclusive event, but a breakthrough which makes it possible for others to participate in that Space. I have transcribed and edited his words from a talk he gave on May 31, 2005. - TG.

Ishvara:

There is always something that starts a shift in Life--usually one point, one thing. This is true of an authentic leap in human awareness; it starts somewhere; it starts with an individual who has a true awakening.

Each time there is such an awakening, it lifts the whole, it brings all of humanity to a higher level of awareness. So when one comes into the Natural State now, it is at a level that is higher than previous awakenings.

This awakening [referring to Ishvara's awakening] is an instigator that opens the door for everyone. Each person in their own arena of awareness can come to a realization, and embody that possibility. The awakening makes it possible for other beings to move into that same state; the way is pointed out.

An ego attachment says, "I want to be the instigator; I want to be the awakening that starts it all," but for this time, that space is already taken. Yet because that space is taken, the door is wide open for others to move right into alignment with it. So there is much that a person can do--in "non-doing"--to move in that direction. You cannot make an effort to do, but when you become aware of that possibility, you can begin to allow for it, and then you take the steps that appear.

It is a cascading kind of effect: once the ball starts rolling, it keeps gaining momentum. The momentum involves others who begin to resonate and harmonize in that process. So it is a synergistic effect. It becomes not about an individual person, but about a Space that is happening to which others can contribute and add. It is a togetherness. But there is always something that starts it.

A person can become inspired about something, but if there is not a continuation of the inspiration, it can fizzle out. I see that my task is to keep nurturing this Space, to keep it alive, keep it growing, because otherwise it can become stagnated. Without the instigator, without that constant inspiration and example of acceleration, one can slip back into an arena of complacency. There must be a tension which constantly pushes--not pushing too much, but enough to keep things moving.

I find that I am continually bringing more energy into this process, accessing more intelligence, opening up more possibilities which cascade to others, and in turn others begin to realize that, as a part of the synergy, they also participate in those possibilities. Each person's uniqueness is inspired, and that uniqueness becomes part of the Space, part of the energy.

This inspiration requires a constant application, because it is so different from consensus reality, so different from the past, that it is hard for people to apply it to their lives, unless there is a constant build-up of energy that really assists them in knowing that it is possible. It is as if I have to prove to people around me that this is possible, and then they see that it is possible.
