4 styles of activism

Collective Manifestation at all levels of being

I’ve often talked about how manifestation is both an unseen and seen process. All that ever comes into physical reality first exists as a sacred seed of inspiration, a divine intention,  a blessed opportunity. It comes from within first! It is ENERGY!

Humanity embodies an immense power to prevail, persevere and shift perspective so that we are rightly empowered. Yet how we do that will be different from one person to the next. Even people who vote the same, will have different perspectives and different ways to approach both personal change and changing the world for the better.

Activism On the Rise

More and more people are asking what they can do to change the world for the better. As people feel inspired to make change, let’s stop demanding that everyone be an activist in the same way. This is not going to happen and it greatly limits what is possible to change. Protesting is not the only type of activism, even it seems like the most visible type.

People are not suddenly going to lose all the diverse ways that they prefer to approach life. This is a good thing. Let us set the intention to be ONE of heart while manifesting and being of service to evolved consciousness in the way this most natural to each of us and our skills.

Identify and appreciate your activism style during his powerful transition time of collective col-creation and collective manifestation.

1. Some people are mental paradigm change-makers. Often these are intellectual stewards who are dedicated to creating alternate social structures and bringing about evolved social design blueprints that will take the place of the old social structures now falling apart. There is much already happening in new economies and new heart-based coalitions led by the intention to transform old social, educational, political structures from hierarchal structures to collaborative and cooperative structures. These are also life coaches and work trainers who help others see their expanded potential. Paradigm change-makers are the co-creators of new mental foundations for positive change (air element). They help evolve our collective thinking.
2. Some people are inclined be bridge-builders. These are the people willing to take the first step to talk to someone who appears to represent an opposite views. They will dialogue with the intention of gaining more understanding about alternate perspectives. They are those of you willing to believe the best in people and willing to initiate conversations, relationships and programs that support this core belief in the goodness of people, and a belief in our commonalities. This includes mediators, therapists, and process leaders — anyone who takes a kind and considerate approach to their relationships.These are the co-creators of new relationship (emotional) foundations for positive change (water element). They help us collectively evolve emotionally. 
3. Some people are action activists. For these people nothing less than taking overt action will do. Marches, protests, and mobilizing. These are our community members who will be the first to physically show up in support of a cause, a belief, an idea or a group of people. These people enjoy the comradery and shared experience that action creates. Here in Seattle a Women’s March is scheduled for January 21st in unity with the Women’s March happening in D.C. on the same day. Just imagine the power of such united events. Activists are the co-creators of seen physical changes (earth element). They help us to evolve the effects of our collective actions.
4. Some people are natural consciousness activators and energy healers. These people understand that all that manifests in seen reality begins in unseen energy. By creating sacred practices, coherent group activities, and global consciousness projects, these people lay the energetic ground for a new unified field. Such people see both the crap that needs to be released as well as appreciate how to ground new consciousness by holding energetic space for new possibilities to emerge. Higher consciousness activators and healers may be religious, they may be artists of all kinds that inspire others, they may influence the health of various physical systems as energy workers. What they have in common is their ability to act invisibly or in the subtle realms (which often goes unrecognized and under appreciated for the good of the whole). These are the co-creators of unseen energetic foundations for positive change (fire element).

Of course, within our individual bodies we all help to ground in mental, emotional, physical and energetic change. So be gentle with yourself and others as we practice believing in ourselves as the seeds of change from which all creation possibilities emerge.

We will no longer wait to see what those “at the top” will do. This is a huge global perspective change that greatly changes how collective manifestation emerges.

Take a breath. It will take time to get used to a non-hierarchal paradigm because the outer world is still playing along as if it still exists. It does not.

 Trust that you will be inspired to participate in the new blueprint we are co-birthing. It will be enough as long as you are willing to be of service, willing to believe you are built for these changing times, and willing to engage reality from the inside out and from the bottom up — like an amazing plant that keeps forever growing in its love capacity! Keep believing in humanity’s growth.
