\"natgeo\"<\/a>Our belief in the \u2018known\u2019 has stifled our ability to respond to the \u2018unknown.\u2019 To change our approach and become explorers, requires letting go of needing to know all the answers.

\n<\/a><\/p>\n

As Western society, we seem all-too quick to judge based on the critical thinking we learnt early on at school and in higher institutions of learning.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s very natural that we become invested in our world-views and understandings. Even our beliefs can become \u201creligious.\u201d Is it human nature to be this way?<\/p>\n

The Buddha taught \u2013 \u201cBelieve nothing, no matter where you read it or who has said it, not even if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

What if instead of investing wholeheartedly in our beliefs, we invested in flexibility and openness? Imagine if instead of left-brained judgment being parodied, we became sovereign creators, unique belief-makers, truly dynamic human beings dancing with truths, beliefs, fantasy and reality? This is to be multi-dimensional in scope, comfortable living in uncertainty.<\/p>\n

All people are part of the divine whole \u2013 each soul shines the light of awareness. What breaks us apart is the belief that we are separate. The narrative that takes our power away from us is the one where something external can fill the void of our soul, that something external is an \u201cauthority\u201d that can tell us what the truth is and tells us what our soul needs.<\/p>\n

\"scienceintelligentdesign2-1\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We have the power already if we recognise who we are. We can differentiate for ourselves what is good for us, or not \u2013 to know what we need as bodies and souls \u2013 to know who we can learn from \u2013 and who we can ignore.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s trust our own knowing, our own common-sense. Let light, love and reason be restored to our planet and the promotion of a more enlightened way. It\u2019s time to reclaim the power of goodness.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s up to you to to open a portal in your life that gives you conscious access to the Unmanifested.\u201d<\/em> ~ Eckhart Tolle<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
