Observing Behavior in a Holographic Universe…

After the official conference I participated in this week as an Atlantic President I was invited to stay and observe the National Council meetings.

Content is irrelevant for the context of what I will be speaking on here, what I find most fascinating is the language used, the passion that surfaced, the conviction of one’s beliefs, truths and sense of justice. The body language that is being displayed. The side bar conversations and groups that conjugate during breaks of the meetings.

As an observer this is very interesting. To see how like minds gravitated towards like minds, people are very comfortable with people who share the same viewpoints. Yet when faced with a differing opinion they begin to feel almost personally attached and they go on the defensive and protective mode. When this happens you tend to become deaf to others words. Which was an invitation for me to consider where in my life do I stop listening because someone else’s truth is not aligned with my own?

Where do I still tune people out when I have no resonance with their words?

Where do I fail to see someone for who they are because I don’t understand their language?

Do I have my own body reactions that I display when someone speaks about something that is not my truth?

My body is telling me yes, I do these things still. Now I need to be aware of this and I really belive that I need to remain grounded, connected in my body, fully present when engaging with others (everyone, all the time).

How can I do this? I am wondering. Perhaps it comes with more practice?

I find the connecting with myself takes a conscious effort. Prior to engaging in a workshop, participating in a WEL-Systems program, or talking with people conscious I take time to breathe, focus on the base of my spine, and create the space for whatever comes up to move and create space for others.

What I find I’m noticing lately is I choose to be involved in work, union and other activities, and in choosing to do so I am engaging with other people whom I may not resonate with and I find it difficult to focus on seeing their godforce. This week is providing me with the opportunity to recognize that within myself, noticing that yes I am choosing to remain here with these people, and I see how I choose to spend my time.

Talking with people I choose to speak to, engaging in after hour activities if my spirit moves me to do so.

Noticing how much of the time I am preoccupied with thoughts of my children, my finance and how much they mean to me. Missing just being able to see their faces, wondering what they are up to, thinking of the little things they do that make me smile, missing conversations with Mike.

And I wonder why I choose to stay here for the full week… what kind of opportunity will present itself to me by my remaining her for the “optional” days to observe the National Council meetings.

Is it simply for me to recognise within others, things I need to pay attention to within myself?

Is it to become connected to the part of me that is pulled to want to help out and make a difference in the world we live in (that I had originally identified as an activist)?

To get back to seeing the injustices in the world and wondering where and what I can do to make a difference.

Yes that resonates with me.
Life is good and tomorrow is another day.
