We tend to experience existence, our daily being-ness, as separate from others and the greater manifested world. From this sense of being separate, and apart from, it is very easy to get overwhelmed and to doubt one’s influence on the destiny of the human race and on the healing of the planet.”What can little me possibly do that matters?” the small mind wails.
Yet, this theme of separation is an out-dated human narrative. It’s an old story. The truth is that we are One Divine Heart; we beat as One. This connectivity assures our participation, contribution and influence no matter what!
We are one tribe of humans. We interact in one creative field of energetic possibility. We are always co-creating and sending out pulses of energy that reverberate as invisible and visible frequency in the One-Heart that we have infinite membership to.
This unity means we are either nurturing and expanding the manifesting capabilities of the One Heart through vision and intention that includes others, or we are interjecting non-harmonious energy that debilitates the One Heart expression of human consciousness. This is why when you hurt or harm another you hurt and harm yourself — your own potential for greater love, courage, and magnificence. This is why all that you think/feel/do matters to all of humanity. Your indivisible union with the One Heart makes it impossible for you NOT to matter. You feed the field of creation no matter what! This is where the new human narrative begins.
Understanding the Myth of Separation
Separation is an illusion. It was a myth spawned to set the stage for relationship growth and human dramas during the age of the patriarchy. Dramatic separation themes were related to:
- feeling apart from others, separate and alone, isolated (and finding one’s way back to a sense of belonging)
- acceptance and trying to fit in, popularity and reputation (shame, vulnerability, and discovering one’s inherent value)
- establishing a “useful” role in family/regional tribe (and breaking out of these narrow boxes)
- power, force, and domination (being downtrodden, enslaved, and standing up for the underdog, overcoming tyranny)
- competition (waking up to the game that life is)
- personal/group weakness and perceived limitations (and becoming more humble, compassionate and empowered)
- leadership (finding mentors, looking up to heroes, and realizing that each individual leads their own life experience)
- hierarchical systems, social structures and religious organization (and co-creation and innovation outside established structures)
- victim/perpetrator paradigm (from dis-empowered personal choice to understanding one’s responsibility for all experience)
Viewed as a educational paradigm, the myth of separation was an effective learning “container” for the development of the human race. Now this learning container is too small. It cannot hold the fuller potential that is emerging through us.
In the old myth, life dynamics were based on a foundation of High Drama – the more dramatic the better in order to get the most attention and reaction. Reality television is a great example of the dying of this dynamic. Producers and participants manipulate and force plot antics and interaction, they try to create drama from nothing. Drama today is mere distraction. Politicians likewise try to whip up the crowds through old fear mongering, yet there is the sense that the issues are but paper tigers.
Producer and cultural hacker Maya Zuckerman describes this old narrative as the “hero myth.” In a recent Huffington Post article titled “Breaking Free of The Hero Myth,” she stated, “The hero’s journey served as a tool for the adolescent human to learn his or her role in the community and how to mature through use of metaphors such as quests, gods, monsters and magic….[now] We are looking far beyond the individual hero, who in reality so often fails us, and now we cheer on the collective.”
In the new story humanity that is writing together, rather than a chosen few having superhuman strength, the many are waking up to their true power.
Embracing a New Narrative of Human Potential
This empowered narrative is necessary for the next stage of human and planetary co-creation and evolution. This empowered narrative can harmonize and birth the new energetic possibilities that come from each of us integrating more light. As I wrote in Collective Manifestation: Heart-Centered Blueprints for Creating Intentional Community, “It is through our hearts that we will expand human potential.”
The Human Tribe Coming Into Alignment
Albert Einstein stated in a 1948 film called Atomic Physics: “It followed from the special theory of relativity that mass and energy are both but different manifestations of the same thing.”
Everything is energy (invisible and visible forms). We tend to respond and react to manifested energy (mass represented by things and circumstances) which is already “the past.” As part of the new narrative we empower our creative manifestation abilities by learning to dance with energy/light which is “the beginning.” By doing this we take clearer responsibility for the energy that we align with (fear or love, for instance) to produce things and outcomes that affect the heart of ALL beings.
As we co-create the new human narrative, become more aware that the energy from all words we speak produce manifested outcomes that are then part of the new BIG STORY. Conversation feeds story, the bedtimes stories we tell our children build the narrative, the stories we tell ourselves about ourselves, and how we project our best selves onto the world stage matters to the One Heart story in construction.
As we human integrate the polarity of light and dark, good and bad, right and wrong, the new narrative emerges ever more. When we fully integrate all aspects of possibility we stand up and speak out with confidence in the One heart center starring in the new human story.
Like the four heart chambers pumping in rhythm, you pulse out and process different types of energy: Being Energy, Wave Energy, Creative Bridging Energy, and Grounding Energy, for instance. Emotions flow through the personal heart, sparked by thoughts, beliefs, perspectives and personal stories and immediately are transmitted into the the One Heart. The collective consciousness of Humanity, of all beings, is impacted. Whether acknowledged or not, you are always co-creating as a human team.
Author Mary Belknap writes about the evolution of the human species in Home Deva: Evolution’s Next Step.
“What is important to understand is that you can be of immense help right now, today, by recognizing that you are part of this blossoming of a new species. The hopefulness, trust, and networking that you express on a daily basis will have many positive effects far beyond your localized time and space. The nature of these enhanced feedback loops guarantees that each of us can be of direct help to our fellow humans and, to some degree, the whole species by serving as amplifiers of coherent life-energy.”
Belknap points out all the ways that scientists and mystics are coming together. She sees our evolution as a species being driven by “creatives, innovators, and lifeseeds” who identify themselves as an integrated system, and accept their part in the healing process of Earth. Their mind and feelings, and soul and personality are becoming more integrated. They recognize the oneness of spirit and matter. She states, “Amplification of positive coherence is highly contagious.”
In the new human narrative we are co-creating, process and interaction is grounded by High Love and High Discernment rather than by high drama. The liberated, creative and joyful heart is grounded in do-able steps, in peaceful being-in-the-moment flexibility and spontaneity, and most especially in humility and humor. A One Heart narrative for humanity easily integrates growth cycles of highs and lows, as well as vertical and horizontal expansion without all the old drama. We are learning discernment. We are embracing the power of our choices. There is no disconnection between mind and heart. They pulse in sync.
Earth and Property Energy Healer Gabriele Neumann of Eartheart Living points out:
- You are Divine Essence, it is only your belief, which makes you think you are different – separate from, not connected to, pure divine essence and light.
- The running mental programs are only facets and metamorphosis of one and the same program. They are sub-programs of one program, which is our belief that we have fallen out of Divine Being into separation.
- There is no treasure to attain, no level between you and Divine Essence.
- As soon as you know in your heart, in your being, that there is no level, no step, the subprograms just fall away. And it is not important what these subprograms are as they repeat themselves (like a virus or a cancer cell) and appear in one way or the other as an expression of the belief that we have fallen from our status as a divine being.”
7 Steps to Liberating The One Human Heart
We can each be more conscious about the One Heart field that is comprised of invisible energy and visible matter. We can make significant contributions and it can be simple rather than overwrought with anxiety. We can play with the possibilities as the living collective narrative that we already are. To nurture the One Heart first recognize that you are a light being pulsing frequency. What you manifest aligns to that frequency.
To manifest that which is hopeful, joyful, and liberated for Self and others engage these seven steps:
- Free Up Your Sense of Humor. I just realized this week that as a child I inadvertently trained myself to put up walls against my good humor. I recalled how as a kid I would refuse to laugh or smile when one of my parents did something to piss me off, and then wanted me to make them feel better by laughing. Perceiving myself as having no power but my “will power,” I would refuse to smile. All this did was create a pattern in which I was easily disconnected from my ability to not take things too seriously. In refusing to give of my humor, I gave away my lightness of being. Fortunately, realizing this, I instantly got a infusion of joy. How are you stingy with your sense of humor. Are you afraid to seem silly? Are you too serious? Set the intention to find the great humor in being human. Laugh more. We all need the levity and it will do the One Heart field good.
- Relax. We unconsciously hold much tension in our mind and bodies. Relax into the moments that make up the story of your life, and the story of humanity’s grace. Release the old story of monsters under the bed. We are safe, we are love and light. Allow your own unfolding with more ease.
- Be One with Plenty. The One Heart is the horn of plenty! From this collaborative and highly creative energetic field all is possible. Plenty and abundance is not outside you. Create your personal/collective narrative from a belief in having everything you need at all times.
- Follow Your Intuition. Intuition is your soul speaking to you. Let it help you develop your flexibility and spontaneity by responding to it’s inspiration and nudges. Be joyful in your connection to greater depths of knowing and release the mental “shoulds” that imprison your brilliance.
- Be authentic. Your voice, your presence matters always. Speak the truth to self and to others in order to remove the layer of deception that hampers clarity of vision, and clarity of will. Be willing to show up, to be vulnerable, as you move beyond your comfort zone.
- Feel grateful. The One Heart is never happier than when it is feeling gratitude. From gratitude peace of mind blossoms. From a perspective of gratitude nothing is missing. All is in perfect order and there is no need to feel overwhelm.
- Love more. Love more of your life, more of your day, more people, more animals, more of nature. Love the possibilities that you represent. It matters more than you can imagine.
