Conscious Evolution: Within and Beyond the Quantum


 "We behave as we believe".  This sentence caught my attention in this episode. Think about it: if we believe it is going to rain today we take an umbrella; if we believe 'the end of the world is nigh' we don't put any effort into significant change. 


It doesn't matter much if we are wrong about an inconsequential belief. It matters a great deal if we live from a belief that false.

Many of us live from a belief that we are separate beings in a world of unrelated parts. From this belief we look after ourselves and those closest to us as best we can, and then pretty much pull up the drawbridge and hope for the best. 

But what if the underlying belief is wrong? What if the truth is that, whether we realise it or not, we are intimately connected with every person, plant, animal, ecosystem and galaxy? How would that change the way we behave? 



Animal species are becoming extinct at an alarming rate. Even the smallest insect has a role that is crucial to the whole. Plants can't survive without pollinating birds or insects. The earth can't produce the oxygen we need if we destroy the forests. Our planet as a whole cannot survive if we continue to pollute it. It is human behaviour that has led to these critical losses. We behave as we believe. There are hundreds of similar examples. We can see all this and become despairing and depressed or we can wake up to the fact that we are being offered large scale neon signs that point the way to the solution.


We behave as we believe. The solution becomes clear when we truly understand what quantum science has been telling us for the last century: separation is an illusion. The uni-verse is calling us into a unified awakening, a new fundamental belief or paradigm. We literally cannot survive long term without bees, dung beetles, green trees or fresh water. Jude Currivan spoke passionately about the fact that science is telling us this. And science is based on evidence. Of course indigenous people have always known this and so have many religious traditions. Now it is more evident than ever that science, spirituality, indigenous wisdom and creation itself are all singing the same song. For me that is exciting! There is a new coherence; a coming together of wisdom and insight from various sources that for some time have seemed to be at odds - separate!


Here is a three minute link from the conversation where Jude Currivan speaks so encouragingly about this new paradigm that is beginning to emerge. As Mick  said "We are tipping into something. Trust the process and don't panic!" Ervin very helpfully pointed out that if we focus on the threat we go into "flight, fight or freeze" mode. If we focus on the evolutionary movement of transcendence then we see this as a time of breaking through rather than breaking down.

 Synchronistically, at the time I was writing this Blog post, I saw a beautiful three minute video called A Mighty Purpose showing an ordinary person who probably isn't delving into quantum science or entering into dialogues about evolution but is simply acting on how she sees the world. We can all be inspired to do the same.
