For three years, REVEREND BENTE HANSEN was privileged to channel the energy of Edgar Cayce to audiences in the Northeast of the US. Incorporating his wisdom, she gives recommendations for making changes and decisions leading to happier lives.
Change is uncomfortable because it generally brings about unanticipated outcomes. It usually cannot be controlled or managed in ways that support the existing status quo.
For some absurd reason we believe the existing status quo is the only way to exist while knowing that change is inevitable. Our reality is constantly changing in subtle ways because of the power of our thoughts, emotions and actions. When we randomly co-create through fear, resistance and belief then we ultimately create more of the same, while most likely worsening the status quo!
Inherently we are here, in this lifetime, to create, or co-create, which means it is not always possible to maintain the status quo, despite our earnest intentions and desires.
Evolving ideals
Often when change is self-induced it is only because the pain of remaining in the status quo is stronger than the fear of making change. Sometimes we need to witness or undergo the pain of the status quo to realise it no longer matches our evolving aspirations and ideals.
If you are observing chaos in politics, breakdown of institutional systems, gradual erosion of freedom and individual rights, and the exposure of deceptions in organizations, be reassured. This happens when change is occurring. While distressing to observe and experience, it is also a profound opportunity to proactively provide a constructive and supportive role in creating new systems and organisations.
In an old conceptual framework, a typical organisation is hierarchically structured. The CEO usually sits at the apex, draws an exorbitantly high salary and commands a network of employees. In this structure, decision-making is the responsibility of those in charge: CEO and managers. Lower ranking employees have minimal say in their employment. The nature of this structure guarantees its failure because within it there are countless inherent flaws that will ultimately ensure its demise.
To align with the new consciousness, systems and structures that are no longer functioning well must change. For example, the conventional education system is not working, and cannot continue because it is embedded in an old paradigm that no longer meets the new demands of a changing world. Many parents are aware that their children’s needs are not being met in the current system. Hence more children are being home schooled or attending charter schools.
I was fortunate to attend a seminar on relational leadership recently. This conceptual framework embodies the notions of community, communication, organisation, leadership and co-operation. Relational leadership provides structure and support for changing existing dated strategies into viable systems that embrace the new paradigm of exclusiveness and community. You can find out more about this powerful strategy for implementing change at www.therelationalmovement.org.
A new framework
There are other organisations functioning within a new framework of exclusiveness and community. The concepts of isolation, hierarchy and dominance are rapidly disappearing and being replaced with ethics that embody the value of all humans being equal, having equal input and responsibility. In a new consciousness paradigm, this is essential for functioning and success. Ultimately, this also leads to individuals feeling successful and valued.
If each individual is receptive to manifesting personal positive change, this will lead to the manifestation of greater change within family, community and eventually larger society.
I prefer to keep an image in mind of an egalitarian society, one that has been co-created through loving endeavours and inspiration, as a means of embracing the changes that occur along the way.
It is by observing, participating and imbuing our thoughts and actions with the frequency of love that this journey into a new consciousness paradigm will result in the 1000 years of peace as predicted by Edgar Cayce.
