I don’t know if it’s on account of progressively more people being progressively more attuned to the collective consciousness but as I travel about – I’m writing this from the Mac Arena Mar club on the beach near those amazing twinkling power stations in Barcelona, where we’ve smashing an all-nighter to a heaving crowd till 8am and now I’m sitting about in the already baking morning sun waiting for them to fire up the coffee machine first so I can make my nerves jangle a bit with an Americano or two – I find people far more friendly and willing to connect than ever before. The snobby exclusionist tendencies of former times are slowly transforming into their opposite. We’re becoming less afraid of each other, less afraid of ridicule, humiliation, more secure in our skins, less afraid of being judged, more open to being accepted and more open to accepting (self and others). This is my subjective view, one no doubt flavoured by being more and more self-accepting and by (basing my observation on) hanging out in arty, party environments because of my work, where people are presumably more disposed to the inclusive tendency. But even then, if I look back to my young party-going years in the nightclubs of Swinging and post-Swing London, where there was a lot more showing off, posturing and excluding going on – you had to be in the in-crowd to be in the flow – exclusionism was the name of the game. Now the flow is available to everyone, no matter your dress-sense, nor the sorts of shapes you pull on the dancefloor: as long as you’re willing to let go and celebrate, you’ll be accepted.
Overriding fear of people
The mechanism that opens you to the flow is obvious once pointed out: relax your chest, allow your heart to open and smile from there, as this will cause your love, your innate goodness to flow and elicit a spontaneous backflow, along with a slew of warming, reassuring smiles from those around you.
All everyone wants underneath all the lesser if noisier desires, is to be in the flow of love – to connect in love with everyone.
The key is context. It’s hard for people to hold a vision of the whole planet with all its people in their heads or hearts – far easier at a party, for example. For the human race to evolve to the next stage of inclusionism, the trick is to see the whole world as one big party.
Healing
And sure you’ll ask, ‘what about all those intent on causing harm and disruption?’ Well as much as it would seem otherwise, the more, more and more of us accommodate a vision of the world as one big party, the more the troublemakers tend to join in rather than fight against it.
Not that you could ever remove the intrinsic yin-yang dynamic which dictates that will inevitably be an opposing stream of energy running counter to the main thrust, but the immutable law that what you focus on grows insists that to generate more harmony, you must focus on the harmony currently extant rather than on the disharmony.
Same with yourself, which is where it all begins and ends anyway: focus on the harmony within rather than the disharmony and the harmony will grow.
See the Buddha inside of you, see the Buddha inside everyone and focus on that: applaud and celebrate that, rather than see the arsehole and punishing it. As they say in Barcelona, there’s nothing worse than a punishing arsehole, though I do hear it also said that the juice of boiled cabbage works wonders for piles.
Meanwhile here’s to the whole-world party and the next doors-open week for School for Warriors 1 coming incredibly shortly.
With love, Supercharged
See the Buddha inside of you, see the Buddha inside everyone and focus on that at all times, no matter what.
