Growing Into Your Potential Through Human Connection
We have been connecting to each other as human beings since our existence as a species. So what is it that is different now as opposed to thousands of years ago? There is a positive and negative aspect to every situation, depending on how you look at it. Technology and tools are one of the largest differences that are an essential part of our lives today, and another very important difference are the levels of awareness or understanding of ourselves that has occurred throughout our evolution up to this present moment.
This is such a beautiful time to be alive. So many possibilities and so many ways to find and connect to other beings who share our intention and vibrational energy.
Although we are living more separate lives than ever before, we are also seeking to connect like never before. The interesting thing about this disparity is that tools and technology can be a double-edged sword which keep us from allowing this desired connection to happen. Yes, we want to connect and reach people and yet we also want to be isolated, not let people get too close, and keep ourselves protected. This second set of protection instincts can be very easily enacted in today’s world. In ages past it was a tribe that would keep you safe. The individual being on his own and isolated was against the norm. Community with daily interaction was a way of existence. In today’s world it is this fundamental paradox of wanting space while wanting to be connected that leaves us feeling as if we are pulling in two separate directions, and indeed we are. We want one thing and yet fear it happening at the same time due to all of the new scenarios that might take place, or new situations we might be presented with that feel threatening or uncertain.
It would seem that by overcoming this discomfort and finding ways to embrace and connect to humanity, we can return to a space where community and support can enhance our lives and help us grow. Rather than having to be connected as a necessary means for survival, we are able to selectively find those who are in alignment with our beliefs and vibrations, who can help us reach higher levels of awareness of our true nature and gifts here on this earth.
The aspect which pulls us toward new things and growth is our higher self, which operates beyond the physical form. The other aspect, which fears change and seeks to keep things the same, is our human mind, which is a fundamental component to our physical form. The human mind seeks to keep the physical form safe and alive. It perceives any threats to its physio-emotional being and then creates a defense structure to keep those things that made for unfavorable experiences from happening again. These defenses are built up within the mind and create patterns of our behavior, what we know and define as ‘us’. The mind doesn’t want to accept that there is indeed no ‘us’, but rather a continual opportunity to evolve and redefine our mind-body existence. This evolutional ability is our innate guidance to become more aware and in-tune with our higher selves.
It is through the higher self that we begin to open and attract all the things that we truly want to be in a state of joy, peace, love and goodness. Feeling good and enjoying life is the sole reason for our journey here on earth. We are here to have a wonderful human experience and realize that by connecting to these other human beings, who are also having wonderful human experiences, we will grow in leaps and bounds and continue to become more and more aware of our purpose and potential while here on planet earth.
By coming to a clearer understanding of this higher self and creating a space to listen to it and allow it to bring all that you want into your life, you then begin to attract people and things into your environment that will accelerate you toward this joy. Your potential is unlimited but your mind only knows limits. This opposite nature can leave you trapped within the mind. So go beyond the mind and embrace believing things before you see them. This is potential. Potential exists before it is ever seen or quantifiable. The fact is that nothing you want can ever be as long as your mind is focussed on the fact that it isn’t there. You must see your potential and know it is there and trust that each moment you are moving closer and closer to it.
It isn’t always easy to put these actions in place and can often feel like a struggle. By continuing to trust in the purpose of your life and the synchronicity of connections that come into it you can forge through these states of mind distraction, which create doubt, fear and uncertainty as to where you’re going. We are here, existing in this moment, with love, joy and peace surrounding us at all times if we will be access it.
Blessings to you on your journey.
