Traceless Enlightenment

‘To lead profound change is to shift the inner place from which a system operates. This can be done only collaboratively.” Otto Scharmer

What does it mean to “shift the inner place from which a system operates?” And how? One meaning is:  at will shiftting into open mind, open heart, open will…opening into a state of emptiness through which the Source/Mystery/Eternal Wisdom create avenues to resolution and deep truth that beneift all into the future.  For those of us willing to access this state of presence as a collective, then, we can begin collaboratively surrendering the internal and external systems we hold dear, while paying attention to what is needed, what is desired and what is emergent in us, in our relationships with all of life and in the structures and systems of our world. Through this deep and broad access to consciousness, new paradigms can take shape and come into being from the causal to the subtle to the physical. These capacities can be taught and learned. From this DEEP place of shifting consciousness, the whole “world” reorganizes and multiple interlocking systems align naturally.

None of this can be done primarily at the surface level of form (although form is inseparable from the formless – and yet it is not). In order to access this state of pure creative potential, we must drop into a state of deep communion with pure illumined spirit or undifferentiated awareness, far below, individual ego, the polarities of relationships, cultural and political differences, and even ideas of what we call manifest reality. Many people are learning to do this. Perhaps when Einstein said we only use 10% of our brain, he was referring to this capacity to access collective and universal intelligence which is available to virtually everyone of us. The more of us who develop these capacities within, the more effective as a collaborative, creative collective we will be in allowing the dismantling of the obsolete and the emergence of continually ever changing/responsive elements of systems which can be let go of and replaced as necessary. After all, change never ceases.

Those of us who understand this concept, who sense it energetically and physically as a felt reality,  those who are drawn to this vision – are coming together and we are already affecting change….in the environment, economics, politics, business, education, the arts, psychology, science, law, international relations and even in religions across the world. Dropping as a collective into this profound state  will allow all of us to access the deeper universal principles upon which all temporary, obsolete and not yet discovered systems emerge.  Learning to live from this place of consciousness will allow us to remain responsive to the accelerating future that is arising in this and every moment.
