568 | Humanity Maturing?

I’m continuing looking into Maturity as a living word, and one point from my previous post on Maturity was the aspect of ‘completion’ or the ‘ripening’ of something – so that got me thinking, that perhaps maturity is not an absolute. Meaning, there can be aspects/situations/patterns in your life where you have applied and developed yourself to be mature in who and how you are in relation to those particular aspects/situations/patterns, and there may be some others that you’re not yet mature in relation to, where you for instance still react towards.

So perhaps then also the question: what IS maturing? What are we creating /what is being created and how? And in relation to self: What am I maturing as? What is maturing within me as me? I’ve looked into this aspect in my post 565 | What on Earth are we Creating? which you can reference here if you like.

So that got me thinking:

Can life mature? Or is it a program/consciousness that matures?

For one thing I can say that awareness can mature – if/as it’s realized and nurtured.

So perhaps in looking at systems we can say that systems are mutating rather than maturing. Because all systems act respectively in self-awareness as self-interest; each with its own agenda (think for example blame, or anger, or jealousy, or any personality system, e.g. the self-pity personality or the megalomaniac – all that is of ego/consciousness systems).

There must, however, be existent always the possibility of maturity of being, maturity of character as a constant, a presence of self. This however is the state where the systems have been transcended in the sense that they have no grip on self. This is something for each one individually to strive in living application within who one is and how one lives; but we must also acknowledge that our bondage is existent not only within, but also without – as the world system of bondage, the utter exploitation and deception of life. Thus, within as without, it is a parallel process of freeing ourselves of the bonds we had accepted and beliefs we had limited ourselves to, freeing ourselves from everything that suppresses our full potential as life. We are indeed moving in awareness into a more organic transformation process, through communication, through sharing, through looking at the world from a solution approach –

to everything that we’re currently facing as human beings, as humanity.

Back to the questions and looking at this existence, our creation, we can say we have matured as delusional egos, as profit-driven parasites, as fearful servants, as unfortunate slaves – depending on what level of the hierarchy we were born into. In any case – a disaster has matured on earth.

Hence we are writing ‘end times’ scenarios as we speak, lol. However it doesn’t have to be this way. Not all is lost. We are still here. And after all, if we are the ones writing the scenarios, then we can still change our course and divert ourselves/our world from self destruction and into supportive, constructive best-for-life living; where we place life before profit, life before ego.

The incredible history of mankind and the blood shed for profit through deceit and deception is being exposed more and more, the ‘end times’ is near but it need not be the end of humanity. Let it be the end of a system of abuse and exploitation. Let it be the end of an ego driven existence. Let it be the end of fear. Let it be the end of suppression and oppression. It’s life standing up.

The veils are lifting, and we are starting to realize more and more that we are not the sheep we were meant to be; we do not have to be.

Indeed it is time to mature as HUMANITY, as LIFE – as true care, true awareness and interdependence, true morality and fairness and consideration for everything that is here;

To mature into absolute self-response-ability and CARE.

To live maturity entails a depth that comes from the deep interdependence we exist within and as, that is real. To live maturity entails a patience and a gentleness, a slowing down and opening up so as to embrace anything and everything, correcting/healing that which is of ‘evil’, and nurturing that which is ‘live’ as life. Embrace everything, so that that ‘thing’ can find it within itself to nurture itself as life, and thus become life and be life and create life.

I believe that we become life in shedding the masks and the systems that we have adopted / accepted / allowed and moving beyond our accepted beliefs and limitations into truly dis-covering life’s potential. This we do individually and collectively, together. It is OUR humanity that is at stake – our SOUL if you will.

To live maturity entails realizing self as the source; Maturity begins within self and the relationship one cultivates within oneself, toward one’s own life, toward life itself; this one life that is the ultimate gift and the ultimate opportunity to get real, to make a difference, to mature not only oneself but one’s world and reality into its utmost and full potential as LIFE –

realizing responsibility and manifesting care – 

step by step, moment to moment, breath by breath in awareness as LIFE.

Let’s get our HUMANITY MATURE – let's mature in our humanity, as humanity, and together we can change our existence and our world for-real and establish new ways of living that will support all life and allow us to truly evolve, express, learn, expand, and… find out what more there is to our existence! It is what we make it – so let’s do it!

567 | Looking into the word Maturity

I’m looking into the word Maturity…

Being mature – Coming to maturity – what does that mean?

A simple definition of the word maturity can be seen in the plant kingdom. When a fruit of the earth matures, it is ripe, it has reached its full potential.

Another interesting perspective of the word Maturity can be seen by looking at its opposite: immaturity.

What does it mean to be immature?

When I look around, whether at the news, or at relationships, or at neighbors fighting, or at comments on social media – many times the impression of immaturity is prominent. What do I mean by that? Well that is where people behave and interact toward each other in a spiteful way, kind of like spoilt children do with each other; where it becomes impossible to see the whole picture, as immaturity only sees that which it has matured to see – not yet the whole picture. Immaturity cannot embrace all things, for the same reason.

A further perspective when looking into the word maturity can be drawn from the components of the word itself: where we have “mat-” like in mater/mother and matter – and “U” and “R”:

Mater/Mother You Are –  Matter You Are

…which brings up the aspect of the ‘divine feminine’… that part of ourselves that has been suppressed and held in check through a system of rape and exploitation serving self-interest/ego manifest as power games and a world controlled by its own consciousness.

It’s quite interesting that this word – Maturity – has a lot to do with the feminine qualities… for example with the principle of care, of embracing and nurturing, all existing within the living word Maturity. The words nurture, substance/substantial, matter are alive within Maturity.

Maturity then would be the state where one is able to embrace all things and nurture the life within them; where thus one realizes responsibility for the matter at hand – what we create. Our creation – the materialization of the multi dimensions of our existence into this one physical reality we all share.

To see all multi dimensions – the whole picture – maturity is required.

So within maturity there can be no judgment – only understanding.

Maturity would thus then also entail a deeper understanding and a responsibility and custodianship for all matter at hand – taking responsibility for everything that is here, embracing everything that reveals itself, seeing it for what it is, and nurturing that within it which is good, that which is life – so that awareness as life may emerge and manifest and substantiate itself in paths and forms that are best-for-all, best for LIFE.

To take it one step further – Maturity is also where the ability of (self-) correction exists, thus also the responsibility for correction and guidance where-ever something is not aligned to its utmost potential as life, as a constructive living application.

Maturity also entails a settled state, a calm, a centeredness within self; like still waters, gently moving yet calm and deep. Maturity slows everything down, it is patient, it does not rush.

Maturity entails a dimension of integrity as well.

These are quite interesting points opening up, and I’ll continue looking into Maturity as a living word in the next post.

Thanks for reading.

539 | The Future of Change -part 4- Awareness

  
Continuing from
535 | Awareness & Interconnectedness
536 | The Future of Change
537 | The Future of Change -part 2- Self Responsibility
538 | The Future of Change -part 3- Forgiveness

<<…that which we take for granted, that which we see as ‘given, is always something that’s been automated. That which we take for ‘human nature’ is for example something that is taken for granted, as given, however it was created throughout time and it’s been automated to exist in ‘accepted ways’ within ‘accepted definitions’. We can't see it because we are it.

If one now looks at change, and what change means, how change can be measured or attested: it is where a new pattern has become automated, has become natural, effortless –that something was changed in its nature>>

from Day 536 | The Future of Change

Say you as a child have through experiences conditioned yourself to react to being praised with shyness. With time, and through repeating this pattern, you have become a ‘shy person’. There was a change in nature, and now as a grown-up you can only get a glimpse of how and who you were before those experiences and reactions took place, before you conditioned yourself into being a ‘shy person’. Being ‘shy’ is now automated as a response whenever you’re being praised, it is ‘in your nature’, and you naturally go into a reaction of ‘shyness’ every time – automatically.

This would be an example of how our ‘nature’ is programmable – and perhaps also an answer to the question “Why change?”

Change is about changing the habits that have inhabited us and formed who we are without our awareness – yet through our permission, acceptance and allowance. As self and humanity emerge in awareness, we can now investigate and change the patterns we have accepted and allowed to define and determine life on earth, our living experience, even the value of life itself.

Change is about Awareness.

Self worth and self respect are also issues to be introspected in this context – and more often than not we will find the most absurd thought patterns automated to undermine self worth, the most ridiculous behavior patterns automated in sabotaging our self respect… But have we developed self respect to begin with? Have we recognized self worth to begin with? Or what does ‘life on earth’ as a system teach its children? Why have the people on earth become so degraded in their value as life?

If we look at how we create our life experience, both on individual/personal and on collective level, what we will find is that what drives everything are patterns/habits. The habits that inhabit us, who [we] in turn inhabit this planet, but did we plan it? We didn’t. Some few did, deliberately so, and those now sit on the top of the pyramid, but the pyramid is crumbling. What most did is compliance, allowance, acceptance, deferring of responsibility, abdication of the right to life – life as creation.

So – here we all are.

The habits that inhabit us – as individuals: fear, survival, dishonesty, self-interest as ego; and as collective: exploitation, abuse, consumerism, deception, separation, divide & conquer… the habits that inhabit us shape our world, shape our lives, and we in turn individually play a role in shaping the bigger picture. It’s been an endless cycle of never-ending power-games, all in survival mode. An automated system of exploitation, and we have become systems within systems.

Where and how to disrupt this vicious game?

How to stop the automation of evil?

There is only one answer to that question though it may be expressed in different words –Awareness, Here, Self, Life, You and Me, Transparency, Truth, Democracy, Solutions, Common Sense, Oneness & Equality, Humanity.

The answer is to Stop, stop the madness, breathe, recall where you come from: You come from the earth, your body is of the earth, your mind is of the world, regardless what you think. Investigate, how much of what you think YOU have placed in there in self-responsibility, in awareness; how much of what you speak is an expression of who you really are, an act of will power with a purpose that extends beyond your little bubble of ego, of fear, of self-interest.

Without awareness, and without responsibility for all that which our awareness realizes about ourselves, about our world, about our NATURE…it would be impossible to change our life experience, to change life on earth, to change the nature of how we co-exist and what we create. And yet that is exactly the challenge we’re facing, as human beings individually and as humanity collectively. The realization of ourselves as creators, the realization of cause and effect, the realization of responsibility. And the realization that time is all we have and we must use it wisely – we must not wait and not waver.

This is what I realized when I made the decision to start with myself: To stand-up no matter what, to be a part of life, a part of solutions, not part of the problems. To change the habits that inhabit ME and that tell me who I’ve known myself to be, what I can do and cannot do, what is possible and what impossible – and instead to realize self worth, self responsibility, and my potential as life. To change the habits that are rooted in systems of separation, of submission, of inferiority/superiority and other polarity traps. To transform what I as the world have accepted and allowed life and living to be (which had become merely survival, consumerism, abuse) into an expression that is equal to living, restoring the value of life, an expression that comes from the core, from source, from interconnectedness and care, seeking to play and to connect and to work-together, to express its full potential and within that allow and facilitate existence as a whole to unleash its utmost potential.

Once we see and realize that what we’ve been creating and manifesting as ‘life on earth’ doesn’t truly honor life, doesn’t honor the right to life, doesn’t honor ourselves and each other as who we truly are as life and does not allow us to live our full potential – we must change it. We gotta stop our evil ways. Our awareness of ‘what is here’ is pressing: Change!

What we have now on earth is an automated system designed to exploit and abuse life. It is a system without awareness, following one dictator: profit. This is the nature of the system: polarity/inequality, separation, divide & conquer.

Automation describes something that has become natural and has a drive, flow, rhythm of its own. In our current system we call it ‘free market’ and other things, despite the fact that we are starving the world.

Imagine a world where care, honesty, cooperation, sustainable flourishing, win-win solutions are principles that have become natural, that have become the drive, flow and rhythm of life on earth – Imagine how that could support us in restoring the value of life, making sure we allow not one being to suffer and that everyone is able to enjoy life.

It’s not to say that automation in itself is bad. What is bad is the lack of awareness, and having automation be something that is designed to diminish awareness from the get-go [see our current education system for instance!]

It doesn’t mean we cannot ‘automate’ new ways, new patterns, new systems. Habits, patterns, systems, are just that as long as they are literally voted upon, ‘authorized by life’ within and without, dictated by common sense and self-honesty, and utilized as the TOOLS that they are, to facilitate life on earth, not to rule it.

We can be creators of new systems – but let us no longer allow destructive systems of fear and separation to be the directors of life on earth, of who we are, of what life can be. Let us no longer limit life, no longer limit ourselves, no longer limit each other and the future of humanity.

Change and creation go hand in hand. Change as the stopping, forgiving and letting go of the past so that only the lesson remains; so that we are truly HERE, present, aware, and able to see things for what they are at any given moment; and creation as the process that can then unfold as we emerge in awareness, as self expression and creative will HERE, as we step out of the ‘old’ and into the new, the unknown, to shape it in real-time through who we are and how we work together, in self responsibility, in awareness as life.

The change starts with us.

The change starts with self.

What are the automated patterns keeping me from living my full potential? And how can I automate corrections and self-directive creativity into my everyday living?
