MessageHi FF,
"Is it consciousness that changes technology or technology that causes change in cosciousness? Throughout human history it is new technology that has created the huge societal paradigm shifts "
It is "consciousness" which creates technology. (It does not create itself!) Then the presence of new technology assists the birth of new ways of being, whether healthy or not, and the expansion of thinking. But this all comes from within the divine mind to be manifested externally in this world through people.
Humanity's core issues have not yet been transmuted enough to sustain a kind of consciousness within us that would cause the basic way we relate to each other to change for the better.
We have forgotten that we are a family, a tribe, a collection of spirits which are One Thing which has become split up, and that we are A PART OF nature the way a tree or a river is a part of nature. Until then, there will be the same old reactions to everything: "...this green issue has just become another huge industry making billions. (and it's all made up)". Of course. People simply cannot yet think differently.
When we have enough "consciousness" (you could call it yuan chi) together, there will be an automatic and spontaneous shift for the better because there will be nothing to hold it back anymore. What is holding it back now - the dam that will be busted - is the excessive resistance coming from the untransmuted parts of the human psyche which are holding on for dear life to the old out of fear.
So, for me, the only worthwhile endeavor is to work alchemically to neutralize my own fear and resistance and to build the original spirit within so that the outer field is affected positively for all. The separation between earth and heaven as it relates to the yin and yang within is where the action is.
The "Other Factor" that is always in play in the drama is the will of spirit. The lifeforce is always trying to bring in more balance and create that ultimate harmony we all are looking for, consciously or not, and this chaos factor, mystery, is a powerful ally. Nature bats last. I think it is very very important to remember that we are not in this alone (though we are in it altogether!). We are part of that Bigger Something and it is doing the work through us.
This change will come when and how it can...
Alchemically,
Alexander
