The world is rapidly moving forward, away from old ideas and ideals. The people who are spearheading this forward motion are the spiritual leaders of Planet Earth. Don’t be misled into believing that politicians and corporations and business leaders are the ones who are propelling humanity forward. No, it is the spiritual leaders who are assisting humanity in its evolutionary course toward enlightenment.
Let us make it clear that we are not speaking of the religious leaders of the times. Those who are speaking out for religions are too invested in advancing their agendas that depend upon the tenets and creeds of those religions to be a part of an ‘enlightenment movement’ within humanity. They are offering their beliefs which might be appropriate for them but they are not universally appropriate. For some people, they are being led into accepting beliefs from these leaders that do not apply to their Soul Purpose but they don’t know how to extricate themselves from their religious group. Others are feeling drawn to examine the path of a different religion but are compelled for social or political reasons not to explore. Some religious leaders are urging their followers to explore and expand their awareness but too many are narrow in their beliefs and believe that they must convince others to believe as they do.
Human consciousness is not expanded by those who hold strongly to a set of beliefs to the exclusion of others or even to the possibility that there might be some validity to conflicting beliefs. This is true in many 21st Century religions. There are also political and cultural groups that do not support the individual in exploring ideas outside of the ones offered by that group. This, too, does not expand human consciousness.
What does expand consciousness is exploring ideas that are beyond what one understands in the moment. The possibility that long-held beliefs might be supplanted by newer/other ideas allows a person to explore, to consider an awareness beyond the accepted, the familiar, even the currently approved ideas of one’s group. Being ever open to the exploration of ideas invites expansion of consciousness because one can tap into resources beyond the limited ones that have been placed in a metaphorical box by those who refuse to continue the exploration.
Consider the teachers who are inviting people to explore within themselves as a frontier with no boundaries. Contrast that with a teacher or leader who places the individual in a limited space and declares that any ideas outside of that space are not to be considered or tolerated. Which situation describes one that is purposely moving toward expanded awareness and thus an expansion of consciousness?
Your role as a human being having an experience on Planet Earth is to assist all of humanity in expanding awareness. Noticing that humankind has an inherent goodness that is waiting to be expressed frees an individual to express their own inner goodness. It also assists one in observing the connectedness of all peoples of Earth, and allows individuals, communities and nations to accept and honor the differences among those peoples.
Not everyone on Earth at the same time must accept the same beliefs about those things that are beyond the limits of former beliefs. Some human beings are expanding their awareness beyond what has been accepted in previous centuries. Innovators, explorers, thinkers and philosophers are pushing the outside limits of human understanding. They will not always agree on even foundational ideas, but they will all agree that there is much still to be learned and they will, therefore, not shut the door on the possibilities that exist.
The spiritual leaders of your day are the people who understand that there are concepts in the Universe that have not yet been explained on Planet Earth. And they believe that you might be the one to grasp the next new concept and explain it to others! They, therefore, support your exploration and the expansion of all human consciousness.
Be the explorer you were called to Earth to be!
And so it is.
