Is it time to write a New Story?

What do I mean by story?    I mean is that the way we live on this planet and what we believe to be true.  Like most of us growing up we are indoctrinated into the "story" of how the world is, what religion is about, how we are educated depending on the prevailing thought systems of the day.   Science is "fact" and to be followed, everything that cannot be defined, reduced to its component parts, analysed and documented does not exist our is not relevant to our world.  We are separate beings in separate bodies and nature is separate from us, as is the rest of the universe.   We are all in individual little boxes.

When I look at the issue of my own values and beliefs - the things that are important to me, the way I see the world, I see how they have changed dramatically over the years.   When I was younger I see clearly it was all about making money, having security, getting ahead in life.  I thought things were tough when I grew up, but I look around now and see how much tougher it is for our children and future generations.   We are still trying to teach people the same things but it just doesn't work any more.  

Instead of thinking of us all in our little boxes, what if you believed that we weren't separated at all,  that everything and everyone was connected and interconnected with everything else, then you would see one massive system.   As one part of the system changes, becomes dysfunctional then it affects the rest of the system.   Think about the body.   If you hurt your foot it affects how you walk, your body has to adapt and adjust to get around, because everything is connected.   Take this thinking a little further (I know it's hard to grasp) and think of it on a bigger scale.  What happens to one human being has a ripple effect on other human beings and we have an affect on other parts of the system - our natural world, and so it goes on.

So what's the answer?   What can I do as a single person?   This type of thinking leaves many of us thinking it's too difficult and we cannot do anything and so we slip back into the old story and carry on.   The Pandemic has made us stop and think and I see evidence of kindness and groups coming together in their different ways to make a difference in their communities.  We are all connected, we can all help in our own unique ways.  It's about finding your way, your piece of the huge jigsaw.   We all have something to give the whole.

I want to help those people that are awakening to their spiritual nature and help them on their journey, that's my small piece of the jigsaw, my service.   From that seed thought came the Self-Mastery Programme which I am trying to give away for free so that those that are attracted can start to see there are different ways to see things.    Yes, I rely on some science to explain what's happening inside, but the deeper message of the whole programme is one of how our thinking impacts our own lives and that of others, its about personal and spiritual growth, harmony and being happier and more peaceful.  

You may have a very different contribution to the world.  It will depend on what your passion is, what your values are, and what you want to see in the world.   Why not talk about it with others, bring it to life, share and connect, find others like you - find your tribe.  Together we can each chip away at helping to bring change.   In the first module of the Programme we look at Values - why not find yours?  It's our Values that drive and motivate us into actions.   It's a good starting place.
