Structures of a More Truthful Nature

Monday, August 6, 2012

A week or so ago, I awoke with a brief but seemingly important “statement” on my mind.  It had to do with creating “structures of a more truthful nature.”  I could see where this applied to almost everything going on in the world today.  We see the collapse of some structures and we sense the falling apart of others.  Many times we do our “darnedest” to hold on to what we have as fear of the unknown is extremely powerful and paralyzing.  When I step back - and “up” - to get a more “hilltop view,” it seems clear that we don’t really have a choice in the coming changes.  This is the way the Universal Will is moving – and any argument or resistance only proves to bring suffering upon ourselves.  The real question is what do we need to do in order to fall into alignment?  Where is this Universal Will pushing us?  This brings me back to “structures of a more truthful nature.”

The fact that old institutions and structures are collapsing doesn’t mean they’re “bad.”  It just means we’ve outgrown them.  They’re collapsing because they no longer have the support needed to maintain them.  We are all updating our belief systems to something a little more “truthful” – which of course will happen continuously until we reach a new “plateau” for collective experimentation.  This “plateau” (which continues to evolve as well) is “solidified” by our new collective beliefs, systems and structures which present a brand new opportunity for experience.

With this in mind, it seems important for each of us to consciously connect with our inner most desires as well as the “knowing” of where we’re going.  What is it we really believe?  What is it we really desire to experience?  What are the beliefs and “structures” that will support what it’s time to build?  Where is our faith needed but lacking?  This takes some pondering, deep soul searching and disciplined awareness.  It takes each of us “walking our talk” and summoning the courage to step differently than we have for the last 20 years (or more).  It requires us to move beyond the fear of change and look forward in excitement and awe to that which we have the opportunity to create together.    

For me, one of the structures we have outgrown is “hierarchy.”  Hierarchy does not support independence, equality or the notion of unalienable rights.  It seems to me, it may have some value in a “crisis” but in general it has become “outdated” – at least in its present form.  What seems to be missing from “hierarchy” (and needed as we move forward) is respect and honor for the knowledge, experience, talents, “life-force” and spirit of a person.  There doesn’t appear to be any acknowledgment of what a unique individual soul brings to an organization.  Doesn’t that seem “stupid” on the part of an organization?  I mean, shouldn’t this be common sense when we think about it?  Just contemplate for a moment what might be created if an organization was fluid, trusting and honoring of these “resources?”  Wow…..can you imagine?

So what are the “ingredients” necessary for us - and organizations - to move in this direction?  Respect…honoring of the spirit and soul in ourselves and each other...a co-creative perspective where everyone has something to offer toward a solution…taking a “higher view” and releasing attachment to right and wrong when it comes to solutions…conscious participation….speaking our truth…following our intuition and “gut instincts”…taking responsibility for our voice, actions and decisions…  How do these things feel?  For me, these are “ingredients” to aligning my life and work experiences with the values which are important to me – independence, equality, life, liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness.  Once we begin to think, see and act from this “lens,” we begin to create structures in our life and work that support life via this new perspective – we can’t help it.  That’s how it works.   

My point is that it’s imperative that each of us determine our real priorities and values – then step up the conscious courage to take action toward creating the reality around us that supports them.  We are living in an ideal time for updating our beliefs, taking conscious action and creating “structures of a more truthful nature” that will support the new world as we desire to live it.

Food for thought….
