Awakening.
As the Western world shifts from the
Information Age to the Conceptual Age, some people feel as though they are
waking up into a new way of being.
I certainly do.
After five decades of feeling out-of place
in the world: of being out of step and outside the box and generally
misunderstood, I am now watching as the world comes to meet me. My skills, my
opinions, my approach to life are suddenly being valued.
It is exciting. It is intimidating. It is
the path I am here to walk.
There is a growing community of people now
describing themselves as working with Heart-Centred communication, or
Spirit-led businesses, or as Soul-opreneurs. These titles and phrases are not
always easy to understand, not least because they are using linear
informational language to denote something holistic and conceptual – by its
very nature it is outside the realm of words.
The shift that is happening is global. The
changes are occurring with individuals, and it is with those individuals that I
concern myself.
After hundreds of years of Industrial Age
thinking, of describing the world as a series of mathematical formulae, the
Conceptual Age is asking us to tell new stories about the nature of our lives.
My head and my mind and memory can
understand the scientific truth that water is composed of hydrogen and oxygen
in a stable ratio. This is valid information that can be easily transmitted to
school pupils and to those who would add water to their own scientific experiments.
Water, though, is more. Water makes up a
great portion of my body and yours. Water accounts for a great proportion of
the environment on the surface of this planet.
Water is a quenching drink and a skating
rink. It is bathing and raining and cooking carrots. Water is mountain streams,
and geyser steams. It is cleansing crows and running nose and cultivating corn.
It is solid, liquid and vapour.
There is no way, in language, to encompass
the concept that is Water.
Yet we humans have an understanding of
water. Our ability to navigate the world in which we live includes instinct and
innate wisdom as well as the information we have been taught.
Certainly we know that H2O is what comes
out of the tap. In addition, thanks to wisdom borne of experience, we grasp
what it means to be gently pummelled by a warm shower spray; or sated by drink
in summer heat; scalded by steam or chilled by a fall into a cold lake. We can
process the concept of water in a way that does not depend, one iota, on the
chemical formula.
Water is Water. We know what that is.
The shift into the Conceptual Age
celebrates this kind of knowing. It makes room for the validity of this
knowledge without demanding the justification of the chemical formula.
New truths of interconnectedness in
technology provide a reference for describing the interconnectedness of all
things Unseen. The very concept of physical interconnexion is one of new design
never considered before in history.
We can share our stories and synthesize new
comprehension because of our technological relationships. We can open our
hearts to care about people we have never met. We can find the fun in sharing
laughter and games and play, and in the end we can explore our individual
experiences, and choose from myriad options, sculpting the life that is the
Right Life and fits as neatly as our own skin.
We know how to do this. We were born
knowing how to giggle and play and do what felt good. Our hearts began this
life open, able to reflect the love that surrounded them. Or not.
How many
hearts shut closed in the desire to perform in the world of information?
Certainly mine. My focus was placed in my head and the natural expertise of my
heart was neglected and expected to wither away.
My
timing, however, was just right. Here I am with my experience of the
Information Age, finally able to express, in some small part, the ideas and
concepts and theories and notions that have been swirling within me for so
long.
My life-work is revealed to me, as I guide
others in their awakening, their reclaiming of the wisdom of their hearts.
This year, 2013 with the overriding Six
energy calling us to Service, I am beginning a new personal cycle. My
opportunity to serve is exciting, and like any other concept, it has many
faces.
