Love, Understanding, Responsibility and Peace.
In many of my posts I have made reference to some language that may be new to some of you. In this next series of posts let us ponder these ideas and concepts.
Our Collective Unconscious
We have many common emotions, beliefs and modes of functioning as hypothesized by Carl Jung in his theory of the Collective Unconscious. We share many programming’s, fears, emotions and desires. It may just be that we are all affected by each other’s subconscious. Many experiments today are showing that we can be affected by what others are feeling, even though consciously we are not aware of what is happening. This is especially true of people with whom we are closely emotionally connected.
Psychologists are also aware of the “connected container effect”, which speculates that people are like two containers with water connected by a pipe at their base. When we suppress the water in one container, it will rise in the other. It is well known that in a martial or family situation, one person’s suppressed emotions are communicated and often expressed by other members. Whatever we do to our own “water system” will affect the others who are connected to us in this way. We are affecting others by our invisible emotional connections to them.
Social Paradigms
We are also affected by and participate in the common social paradigms in which we are born and raised. When we accept and limit our perceptions to these paradigms, we are augmenting them for everyone else. This means we are supporting others’ belief systems by allowing ourselves to be limited by those belief systems. If we believe that those who are different from us (race, religion, social class) are a danger to us, then we are co creating that reality. If we believe there is not enough for all of us, we are co creating that reality. If we believe that life is difficult and people are not to be trusted, we are co-creating those realities those with whom we interact.
Our Common Morphogenetic Field
Biologist Rupert Sheldrake’s theory of the morphogenetic field adds a biological dimension to this. He believes that our bodies and minds get their information from a common pool of knowledge and tendencies that exist in a field commonly accessible to us all. When any one of us makes a change in lifestyle, emotions, ways of thinking, those affect to some small degree the consistency of our commonly shared energy field and that makes this new way of thinking or reacting more available and more possible to all others sharing that field. This works for all emotions, beliefs and behaviors, negative and positive. Remaining in our old unenlightened beliefs and behaviors affects all others through this shared field. We are co-responsible for what is happening. The good new is that our positive changes enable others to do the same.
Our Personal Causal Body
Philosophical systems teach that we each have a personal “causal body” where all of our soul memories and tendencies, qualities and abilities are stored along with all of our fears and other emotions. All of our positive and negative tendencies are stored there. Upon birth these dictate the type of physical body we will have as well as the conditions of our birth and our emotional and mental tendencies. These effect, but do not exclusively determine, most major events of our lives. We are attracting realities that to a great degree are formed by the content of our causal body. This does not, however, create an ironclad fate, because in each moment we are adding and removing qualities from that causal field when we change the way we perceive, think, act and react.
For example, when we perform Energy Psychology techniques and other perception-and-reaction-altering methods, we are changing the content of our conscious and subconscious minds as well as our causal body. We are requesting and allowing for all tendencies in our causal bodies, that might be contributing to what we are perceiving and being affected by, to be removed and dissolved once again into pure consciousness – which is what they ultimately are.
Universal Consciousness
All thoughts, emotions, memories, actions and reactions as well as all physical objects and beings and the interactions between them are simply manifestations of one universal consciousness. This is similar to the fact that all images on the movie or TV screen are temporary manifestations of one white light that only temporarily takes these forms – including the “good”, “bad”, loving, hateful, mineral, plant, animal, humans and all interactions between them.
The white light of the TV, when nothing is playing, is the like the zero point from which all appears and re-dissolves. We are seeking to dissolve all tendencies that might be contributing to what we are witnessing, back into their real nature, which is white undifferentiated light.
Our Common Causal Body
Similar to the morphogenetic field, we all share a common universal causal body. There is a causal body for each species of animals and plant and one for all men and one for all women and one for all humans and one for the planet itself.
This common causal body includes all of our shared tendencies that affect humanity and the planet as a whole. Therefore, when we get free from anger, fear or guilt, we make those tendencies less available in the shared causal body.
All the modalities of Energy Psychology such as EFT, meditation, prayer and wide variety of other methods allow us to perceive and react differently. Then old memories and programming’s dissolve – not only from ourselves but also from our interactive relationships and from humanity as a whole. Love, understanding, responsibility and peace then become more available.
In conclusion, all of the above concepts support the truth that there is no you and me. We all constitute one united field of energy and consciousness that appears as separate beings and objects. All is one energy – one consciousness.
