Part Three: Trust Everything is in Divine Order
One thing we can all agree upon…These are troubling times.
We have discussed how important it is to acknowledge our resistance and to move through it with the intention to be totally non-resistant to What Is.
We have looked at how fear can either paralyze us or trigger rash, impulsive action.
We have begun to realize the importance of living life with our eyes and Heart open – and now we come to a new spiritual option in these lessons: to Trust that everything is in Divine Order.
A New Paradigm is Emerging
We are at the doorstep of a new paradigm. As we move from a society with a survival formula based on violence and domination to one based on peace and compassion – all things are unraveling that must to lay the foundation for the New Earth.
The belief in the Law of the Jungle is dying. ‘Survival of the fittest,’ a phrase created by Charles Darwin, has been a guiding mantra for many generations now. In order to survive as a species, Darwin theorized we had to be dominating and violent. But this has never been true! At Heart, we are not this way – and never have been. The gross majority of us aspire to be cooperative, compassionate and nurturing towards each other. The jungle does not even live by this law. Lion’s do not hunt other lions. They hunt other animals who are meek or sick – very effectively removing the weakest links in the evolutionary chain!
Charles Darwin, an upper classman in the Victorian society of the mid 1800’s, created the phrase ‘survival of the fittest’ to slightly alter the evolutionary theory submitted to him by an admirer who was a naturalist and part of the lower class. This man named Alfred Russell Wallace called his evolutionary theory the ‘elimination of the weakest.’ Now before you cringe and side with Darwin’s power spin on Wallace’s words, let’s look at what he meant.
‘Elimination of the Weakest’
(a greatly simplified explanation)
We do not kill the weakest in own communities but those with genetic weaknesses usually slip away from us dying young without procreating. The traits that do not serve our highest good as a species do not repeat themselves. This is natural selection at its best, or in other words, a natural elimination of the weakest.
Wallace’s theory implied Trust and the presence of a spiritual influence – something that had no place in the scientific climate of the era. His phraseology implied a whole different evolutionary course. Here we see those traits that do not serve us, those that threaten our survival dropping away or being eliminated from our evolutionary story. There is no brutality implied just a gentle slipping away.
Seeing the Illusion
…And this is what is happening today. The factions of our society whether they be people, institutions or ways of thinking are being eliminated. A restructuring is occurring difficult only for those resisting that which is unfolding. The foundation we have created for ourselves is illusionary. It is based on theories that have been held high and revered as we moved through an era of our growth as a species. It has served its purpose creating the cold, driving industrial revolution and the scientific developments that made the material world, the only world.
The past 150 years have taken us to new heights but left our spiritual, compassionate nature split off from us. The blessings of Sunday worship and the meaningful actions of spiritual communities – all dissolve on Monday morning in the very aggressive, independent, kill-or-be-killed work environment. But no longer…
What To Do in Challenging Times
Since we are still uncomfortable and unsure of how to Be on this New Earth, we are faced with personal and societal challenges. Challenging times require meaningful action. This type of action moves us towards the end goal of the new compassionate/cooperative based world emerging.
In order for you to be able to Surrender to What Is and to Trust everything is in Divine Order, you have to perform a few simple but important tasks that support your own evolution as a contributing resident of the New Earth.
1) You will have to right what you perceive to be wrong to the best of your ability.
2) You may want to confer with someone you Trust in your community to review your challenge for anything you may have overlooked.
3) It is only then that you can Surrender to What Is and Trust everything is in Divine Order.
It is in your Trust that you can finally relax and feel some Inner Peace. (You can not get this wrong because if there is something you need to resolve personally, it will resurface in your life. This resurfacing will be more dramatic than last time around. This will happen not to punish you, but to show you that there is more work to be done on your part.)
To be clear…Sometimes situations are beyond our ability to manage.
When we do not have enough facts to make a wise decision and those facts are not available to us, we have to Trust.
If we acquire information that we think will assist us in making a decision but it is beyond our understanding, we have to Trust.
If we feel confused and ask for assistance and resolution can still not be found, we have to Trust.
The aspects of our lives that no longer serve us are falling apart and dropping away. Let them go! What supported us yesterday are today’s weakest links. Let them be eliminated. All is as it should be. Trust everything is in Divine Order.
There will be time to act, but that time is not in this moment.
