A Paradigm Shift In Consciousness

From all outward appearances today, it would seem that a paradigm shift in human consciousness is taking place, or in the process of taking place. There is certainly an awakening to the call of freedom across many Middle Eastern countries. A great wave of passion is beginning to sweep across these countries and in time will wash away the autocratic corruption that has imprisoned and impoverished millions of their citizens over the past four or five decades.

As strong as the demand for greater freedom of expression is, however, it is just the most recent evidence of a great awakening in human consciousness that has taken place over the past four hundred years or so. It is the latest example of a spontaneous response to a new emerging pattern in consciousness, a pattern specifically based on the living qualities of the human soul.

Patterns in consciousness manifest on etheric levels. They are those types of energy which are struggling to emerge in material expression. Consciousness is literally the reaction of human intelligence to these existing patterns. Patterns can therefore be similar to thoughtforms created by extensive human thought on a particular idea or ideal. As an idea or ideal becomes energised and more magnetic, it becomes adopted as the blueprint or design for a large group of people or a whole society to use to build a new way of life. The struggle for freedom, democracy and human rights, for example, is based on just such a pattern.

Actually this pattern of consciousness emphasising democracy and freedom of expression has been unfolding in the world for hundreds of years. There have been peak moments in the process, like the American and French revolutions in the late 1700’s, and even earlier with the signing of the Magna Carta in England in 1215. The devastation of World Wars I and II broke down many of the remaining imprisoning walls of consciousness and allowed a tremendous flood of spiritual light to flow into the world and open the way for a new sense of global consciousness to emerge. Quite simply, the spiritual force behind this awakening is the ever present, inclusive love of the human soul making a forceful impact on human consciousness.

This sustained impact on human consciousness is of course what lies behind the work of Triangles. The Triangles service invokes the three energies of light, love and the will-to-good embodied in the Great Invocation. These are the same three energies conveyed by the soul. Therefore, the Triangles meditation work contributes directly to the overshadowing pattern which so many people in the world are responding to today. Triangles is building a lighted network in etheric substance charged with goodwill. The network is a pattern of the soul designed as a blueprint for the new age of Aquarius. This soul pattern represents the new paradigm towards which human consciousness is now shifting.

Human thinking is beginning to respond to the vibrating pattern of the soul. It is a pattern that sounds a more inclusive note. And when this universal and powerful note beats upon the human mind, great changes in thinking begin to take place. The mind is reconditioned and begins to beat to a different drummer. This creates many new outward effects and changes in the way human beings look at, and react to, the world. Thanks to the rapid advances in communications technology, we now can see more of the world all at once. Whether the response is to a local or community need, or to an earthquake or a massive flood on the other side of the world, or to a call to come out and join a revolution that has freedom as its keynote, the new paradigm of the heart is manifesting its divine note of inclusiveness and synthesis. Sensitivity to the refining impulses of the soul are being received and acted upon. Human consciousness is shifting upward into the new paradigm of light.
