How does the contribution that the awareness path makes fit in with the Company of Heaven’s encouragement to take up the new paradigm of the divine qualities?
If there were no obstacles in our path, a simple taking up of the divine qualities would suffice. The reminder that love is all that’s needed would be accurate and sufficient.
But two circumstances make it advisable to add to them the awareness path’s complement of skills and insights.
The first is that we’re not out of the time of difficulties yet. Given that we remain in the situation of a crumbling economy, preliminary to the introduction of NESARA, lightworkers are themselves faced with difficult financial circumstances.
Whenever financial need arises, whenever the existing resources are not sufficient to see to the needs of all, pressures arise. When the water is lowered in the river, the rocks become visible. When financial resources dip, the rocks in our common social life can become visible. The needs of people can compete and disagreements can arise.
When they do, lightworkers need conflict resolution skills and many of these are provided by the Growth Movement and the awareness path. To be aware of our acts and numbers, to raise to awareness our hidden agendas and investments, to share and say how we feel – all these and other techniques provide the information to resolve conflict and restore harmony.
The second is that lightworkers are joining together across the world and when people from different backgrounds take up common work, various situations can arise that challenge understanding and invite confusion and disagreement.
One region of the world may see itself as a leader, with prerogatives and privileges, and this may be resented by lightworkers from other areas. Gender issues may arise. Religious issues.
Whenever they do, conflict-resolution tools may be needed and these are supplied by the Growth Movement.
So it isn’t that the new paradigm is not where we’re headed. It is that the journey to get to where we’re headed may feature conflict which the simple assertion of the divine qualities may not address.
So I’m not somehow advocating that people forget about the divine qualities and concentrate on using the awareness techniques that reveal to us our automatic and artificial behavior. I’m suggesting that we cultivate the divine qualities and when conflict arises bring in the additional tools of the Growth Movement.
