Why we need to Emolve
Our lives are changing at ever increasing rates. This is the apparently the price of progress. The establishment of the railroads is a good example. Cities and towns grew around them, while areas without them suffered. Equivalent changes occurred during every decade and now they appear yearly and even daily. The creation of the internet has had dramatic effect on our lives and it changes constantly. It has also contributed to the emergence of "alternative facts" effecting everyone. Then there is Climate Change will create even more changes. Economies first globalized, only to decouple. Wars start and going on. Governments are overthrown. In the United States, education levels keep dropping, while workers need more skills. Change is the only constant in life. Therefore, we will need to be more open-minded and adaptable than in the past. We need to take responsibility for our own situation in life. Sometimes, I try to think of ways to make the world a better place. I always end up with the same conclusion: I have a lot of work to do on myself, first. Most of us could probably say the same thing. Emolvement is simply an attempt to find ways to do improve one's self and through that; improve the lives of others. Growth and Happiness inspire people and through your example, others may follow. The more happiness on the planet the better. This is a course of benevolence.
Emolvement is the intentional evolution of the emotions and mind. This process includes Intentional Meditation and other proactive activities such as Visualization. It represent’s growth by self determination; instead of reacting to our environment, which we call Evolution. Now, we can create our own environment and change it at an even increasing rate. This is also creating new issues which may either help or hinder your efforts to Emolve. These must be recognized and by understanding as many as we can: we will be more able to either avoid or take advantage of any situation.
Because of technology and the ever increasing pace of things, we now need to make changes during our lifetimes rather than taking generations to accomplish them. As a society, we have established techniques to accomplish adapt for hundreds of years, but we just haven't applied them. Now, we may need to utilize our mental skills and apply them, to avoid the upcoming bottlenecks regarding supply and demand for almost everything tangible on the planet. We are flooded with immense amounts of information, which often isn't verified or serves a particular interest that isn't for your benefit. Corporations and Governments seem to be becoming more opaque. In fact, we find less transparency in many of our interactions. This leads to increasing stress levels and threatens our internal sense of security. This isn't productive for society and it also creates unnecessary suffering in the individual.
Many
believe that a whole generation of people; need to be destroyed for us to
overcome all of the negatives in people today. This idea has been around as long as we have. The End of the world or the Apocalypse!!! This gives us an excuse for our shortcomings. Historically, we often leave our problems unaddressed; leaving them for the next generation to complete. In the case of climate change, this is unacceptable. Toxic and radioactive waste are abandoned. The streams, lakes, rivers and even the oceans have been used to dump our trash. The pace of life and low populations in the past allowed for this, since there was always a new river of lake... until recently. We are at the mercy of the power elite and their primary goal is maintaining control, so education levels are dropping. But, aren't these the people who are supposed to solve our problems in the future? This realization demands that we become mentally stronger and able to withstand this hypocrisy and control ourselves.
Today, Technology is simultaneously changing our environment as well as helping us to keep up, but it comes at the cost of human interaction. The conventional wisdom is that ninety percent of communication is non-verbal. We text and e-mail and lose out on the human elements, like body language or tone of voice. We are becoming more isolated from each other and as sad as that is; we will need to adapt to that, too.
Fortunately, many of our
behaviors are learned and so they can be unlearned. Our wounds can be dressed and
allowed to heal. Most of our mental programs actually come about as a result of reactions to the perceived environment and can be changed by adopting a different point of view. Others we just picked up, without conscious choice from our parents, friends or society itself. Ultimately we can change our behaviors. It is just a question of the amount of time and effort required. The first step is to identify them. This is a difficult ask. Confusing and suppressive elements are everywhere, even in music. I'm not speaking about the content specifically, but it's frequency. 432 Htz is the frequency of the Universe. But in 1933, Rockefeller and Goebbels changed the tuning of the A chord to 440 Htz. This change may have changed the effect of music itself. Many believe this change allows people to be more easily controlled. It might also cause irritability as well. Fluoride and Chlorine have been shown to be "dumbing down" people by subtly lowering IQs. Vaping and GMOs are new, but they might show similar characteristics. We will need to identify more of these things before we can address these issues and then overcome them.
We fear change. We will repeat negative actions before we embrace new ones, even if the change is positive. Your Emolvement will help you find your center again and then to see your
programs. Then you can decide which ones to keep and which to discard. Some wonder if they even exist. They do. The last time someone
asked how you felt, did you answer truthfully? Few of us really do, we just
drop in a program instead. Nine people out of ten will say fine, while only half really mean it. This is a very small program. The quest for money his an ever increasing appeal, driven by our envy. The consumer society constantly fuels envy leading to greed and other problematic behaviors. It cause people to try and control each other, which is incompatible with a functioning society. Many programs are for expediency; regardless of their
form or effect. It is easier than learning patience or compassion and is much easier
than actually thinking. The real issue for everyone to decide for themselves is
this: Did you choose your programs and would you change any of them?
By recognizing the unconscious and practicing some meditation, you will have opened a doorway to your
unconscious mind. It is defined as anything we do that isn't consciousness. This may seem insignificant, but recognize that the
unconscious is very powerful. It works for your benefit and it exists for your
benefit. It will welcome your efforts to connect with it because this might possibly be the first time you will be open to it. Shake hands with it and decide on what you want to be. Once we are certain and consistently
send well thought out messages to it, instead of the usual; ever changing goals. Your unconscious may have been dealing with half-measures
for years, so it may be confused or simply sitting on the sidelines. We need to clear and repetitive messages to communicate clear desires. It will act
when it is sure that you certain that you want the help. Through meditation and relaxation we are closer to sleep: the domain of the unconscious. This partial overlap allows us to communicate more efficiently with it and it might be the best time to meditate or visualize. (This is contrary to many who believe you need to be awake and sharp.)
These are numerous ideas to make your growth easier. We humans create ideas from the information we accumulate during our lives. I wouldn't expect a gardener to come up with the next rocket fuel, but knowledge about fertilizer might help, so we can never tell what information is useful until we have an imminent need. These ideas are meant to increase your database and help you create new ones for yourself. Please take whatever resonates with you and leave anything that doesn't resonate. Nothing here is perfect or immovable.
For myself, I have wondered if our need for growth is part of the Human Experience. I don't like the idea of the human condition, because it assumes that we will never grow. It's also used as an excuse for bad behavior. When I see the decreasing level of genuine human interaction, it makes me wonder if we are losing our most important trait. I personally think that our interactions...our humanity, is our true value in the Universe and we should recognize that. We are all made up the same stuff.
