"You shall bring two of every sort into the ark, to keep them alive with you." Genesis 6:19
I think it is time to build an ark in which all duality can exist in harmony. An ark of consciousness. No need to look out there. It has to occur within.
I am convinced that external societal change will only occur by a change in consciousness. "As within, so without." Noah's ark provides the imagery for such change. The animals were taken in two by two, no pair excluded. The pairs were subsumed by a larger structure, one capable of containing all duality, all twoness.
This is the consciousness required of us on earth today. One that speaks to integral awareness, to an awareness that contains all duality, a container that has no bounds.
Each of us is responsible for our own consciousness. We can continue to squabble and squirm in the dual duel while the earth is being destroyed around us. Or we can open our consciousness beyond duality, beyond its fingerpointing and blame and shame. We can live in the light of integral awareness and operate from here.
The waters are rising. The dualistic poise is a poison destroying the earth. We must move into the non-dual, open to a higher inclusive awareness. We must move to planetary and cosmic citizenry. Otherwise we are lost.

George,
ReplyDeleteThis is brilliant. Thanks for the wake up call! I'd been sucked back into the dual duel lately. Reading your words I began to open. Again, thanks for shining the light.
You are welcome, Patrick. Blessings!
ReplyDeleteWe're already lost George. And an unconscious choice has been made. Collectively, millions of people are suffering, if not billions. Suffering is one portal to Enlightenment. That seems to be the winning choice at the moment. There are easier choices to nonduality such as watchfulness, but people aren't taught to be watchful of their minds. And people can't be responsible for their own consciousness if they are unconscious of what they are doing in the present moment. But given enough suffering, eventually they will awaken. But it will be too late for a myriad of forms such as tigers, sharks, salmon, cod, whales, and other beings, possibly even humans as you say. Salvation is always in the present, but people are taught by their religions that it's a future event.
