Our Defense of Non-Existent Boundaries
An Inner-World Exploration

There is no separation. Therefore, there are no boundaries.

Let me repeat that. We are all one energy, therefore, there is no separation and no boundaries. We are not separate selves, we are One Self. So who are we arguing with? What are we defending, and from whom?

Erase the idea of separation

There is no “me.” That’s a hard one for many of us. As humans in body suits, we are set up with an ego that we think defines us. Instead, the ego separates us, from each other, and it even separates us from our true inner self.

We get to work on that.

Explore the Emptiness that Holds Everything

Call it what you will, All That Is, One, Universal Mind, Void, whatever metaphor you choose to lift yourself up from the limitations of your body suit and go exploring in the Web of Life, the Cosmic Ocean, the One Light.

When you find your way there, you will dissolve your body suit ego and know your true self.

If there is only one, what am I defending and from whom?

Since we are not separate, who am I arguing with? Who am I fighting? Why do I think I am one tribe or another when there is only one tribe – humanity!

Place yourself on the side of the more encompassing concepts. If I develop a relationship with our Earth Home, there are actions I will and will not support in myself and others. But that comes from my awareness that I am the same energy as our earth home. Would you harm your own home?

Shift how you see what you are “defending” and who you are defending it from. But most of all turn and deepen your own relationship with the place of disagreement.

Journey to the Void

I take shamanic journeys to the Void all the time. Your experience will be different, but in my journeys, I have a helping spirit with me, and usually, as I hang out in the Void, other points of light gradually appear, and together we begin to form a layer of light that encompasses the earth. I feel a connection with my fellow lights, and I also feel support in our common goal, to heal our earth home.

Erase any perceived boundaries

Free yourself up to go exploring in the unseen realms. Go more deeply into nature, talk to the moon and the sun, open your heart to the essence of others, rather than their physical form. Seek the oneness that erases any perceived boundaries.

Come Out of the Protective Darkness of the Unconscious

Unleash the Power of your Sacred Garden

Those of us who want the world to be different have serious work to do. We have to hold a vision others cannot see. We have to believe in potentials others cannot even imagine. We’re energy workers. We’re spiritual explorers. We’re called to focus that new vision.

Overcome the limits of your Body Suit

We have to go beyond the limitations of our human minds. We have to do the deep work, the interconnected work, the “we-are-all-one” work. We begin our work individually and then join with other like-minded explorers and visionaries to add more power.

You know you want to change. You have a vague sense of the direction you want to go. The catch is we can only vision what we can think up. So we have to let go of our minds and move with our hearts, our feelings and our urges. We have to quieten our mind, still our expectations and simply hold the space for things to change.

Begin with yourself

Expand your personal spiritual practice. Create an altar, a shelf, a space upon which you place some reminders, some tools to help you deepen your spiritual experience. I have an altar I built in a Shamanism course. It’s includes some of my large collection of crystals and artifacts I found meaningful along my path.

Expand your spiritual practice. This is not a religious practice but a spiritual one. Make it your own. Gather in whatever calls to you regardless of its origin. Increase the time spent in contemplative practice, and consciously and frequently send focused energy to the well-being and healing of our world.

Expand your knowledge

To learn to connect more deeply with nature, I took two courses in Shamanism. And as I also wanted to connect more universally with like-minded people, I took a course in subtle group activism. There are a few like-minded friends with whom I have major conversations that inspire and motivate each of us.

Listen to the inner voice

I have opened myself up to a clearer interpretation of the voice within. I now am comfortable calling it channeling. I’m clear that there’s a deeper wisdom that comes through my writing than I seem to be aware of on the physical plane.

I’m often surprised by what I write. Is that my imagination? My knowing? My guides? Call it what you will, but there’s a knowing within you that will give you guidance and answers and direction. Listen to that inner voice and learn to interpret it. Follow your feeling and your intuition to your most powerful place of service.

Be open

In my inner work I often experience huge releasing yawns. Other times I experience deep sobs of recognition as I go exploring. Your own signals will emerge. Go with what resonates. Go with what calls to you. Be open to a sudden rush of recognition and follow that.

The world is changing and we are an integral element in that change. Do the work on yourself. Be receptive to the light of other consciousness changers and follow your heart. We can change the world. We are the world. We are all that is. Let’s evolve into a whole, inclusive, empathetic state of being.
