Spiritual Counseling - Our Purpose is Peace

The concept of becoming “spiritually enlightened” to the average human seems like too much effort, too much work, and therefore, it gets placed on the back burner. It’s as if the ego says, “I’ll get to it when I have the time.” And, of course, that time never comes. But how can you ever have time unless you take time?

The mind has more “important” things to do than to become spiritually enlightened, which can also be defined as attaining inner peace. And only from inner peace can we attain world peace. Unfortunately, the current state of human consciousness doesn’t put any priority to peace because maintaining its own survival is at the top of the “to do list.” And that means making money, paying the bills, and going deeper into debt in an effort to “keep up with the Jones’s.” Lots of enduring, but not a whole lot of enjoying.

As a species, most of humanity has been doing little more than surviving and suffering for the last 5,000 years. In this long history, it has been mostly a replay of one war after another, one plague after another, and an ongoing hierarchical theme where the Pharaoh’s ruled the slaves, the monarchs ruled the peasants, and today, you could just say the corporations ruling the rest of us. But those days are numbered.

As we approach the end of the Mayan Calendar on December 22, 2012, we are starting a new cycle of human evolution. We are headed in a new direction and on our way toward transcending the limiting, separating thinking that we’ve been conditioned to accept in the past. The Next Human will be a living example of what the spiritual teachers are now calling “unity consciousness.” This will be a time of great purification. This means discarding what no longer works for us, and filtering out what is stunting our spiritual growth.

On July 3rd, the Jerusalem Hug in Israel was a demonstration of peace and love that exemplified what our collective soul is moving toward. In the Egyptian revolution last winter, we were shown a picture of one woman holding the Christian cross in one hand and the Islamic Koran in the other. Acceptance, tolerance, and unconditional love will describe our new cultural theme in the decades ahead, rather than a perpetuation of our current social structure that allows the “have’s” to rule over the “have-not’s.”

For the last decade we have seen the evidence of a cold civil war in America. Since the election of 2001, America has been deeply divided on its political views and this has played itself out in the political arena with Congressmen and Senators creating one filibuster after another. Deadlock has become the norm — so much so — that America’s credit rating has been downgraded for the first time in its history.

When we become still, live in the Now, and begin dwelling in the heart instead of the mind, we suddenly realize that disagreements and differences of opinion are not excuses for gridlock, emotional violence, conflict, or war. This is not why we are here. Our purpose here on Earth at this time is to learn how to get along with one another in a state of peace, cooperation, and harmony. Our children and their children depend on this one thing. It all begins with the Self.
