UNLEARNING

It is a beautiful Morning on Laughing Water Farm. Jamie is out in the garden, preparing beds for planting. It is cool, 63.6F, but it feels hot in the Sun. We are getting a late start with the garden but that is not too unusual in this climate. In Minnesota, Spring is always a crap shoot.

We are at a time where learning is unlearning. We need to shed all the things we believe that are untrue. From birth we have been programmed to belief what would benefit those in control. We know very little of our history or who we are.

It has puzzled me why more people who are interested in creating a new world haven't come together. Books about spirituality and how to live authentically are widely read. Social media is filled with references about higher consciousness. Then it occurred to me, we can't come together in communities until we are no longer in danger of indoctrination. We have been indoctrinated into a very sick culture, of several variations, for 13,000 years. We have become easily manipulable by those who would use us.

Yes, we need to see our oneness. We, also, need to see that we do not need people who set themselves up as leaders. We will not be able to come together in effective communities until we have substantially unlearned our present programming. As individuals we need to learn to look in ourselves for validation, not leaders. We have been programmed to look to authority. Authority is within us.

Then, we already live in communities. All of us are in a community of some kind. Can they be a community of Love? Can we, as individuals, be change agents of Love?

First; I think we need to see that we are inseparable. We are all part of Source. Every thought, feeling and action of one effects the many. We are already one. Our separateness is part of the illusion. We wanted to see what it would be like to create without Source. We found out. It is not so hot. In the illusion [we are presently in] a few managed to take control of the rest. We need to shed that control and know our sovereignty.

To know our oneness, we have to give up the ego's tendency to defend our separation. We are only beginning to see that all defensiveness keeps us in the illusion of separation. We have been indoctrinated to protect ourselves. We need no protection. We need no defensiveness. We cannot be peaceful, loving and joyful and defensive at the same time.

Despite the fact, that in our individual illusions we don't always see it, our group consciousness has been rising. It has been rising fast and powerfully. Those who have been in control for eons can see that their time is numbered. It has occurred, to the vast majority of folks, that they can live in peace, prosperity and love without the manipulations of those in control.

We have much to unlearn. We need to see ourselves as equal beings of light. We need to see ourselves as defined by Source. We need to accept that we are beings of love. Our unlearning and our learning can be greatly enhanced by coming together, for in truth we are one, but it cannot be effective until we have given up the temptation to give our power away to a group or leader.
