Unity versus Separation
by Owen Waters
The eternal theme of human history on Earth has been that of
good versus evil. We generally define good behavior as that
which is unselfish and supportive. Evil, its opposite, is then
defined as behavior which is self-serving at the expense of
others.
Underlying these opposing definitions is a common principle,
that of separation. Long before the time that original
consciousness adopted human form, all forms of consciousness
knew that they were one, that they were part of an
interconnected whole. This is called unity consciousness.
Originally, humans were consciously connected to nature and
also to each other, just as animals are today. For example,
after the enormous tsunami that hit Indonesia in December 2004,
massive numbers of dead humans were found, but no dead animals.
All of the animals had been aware of the impending disaster and
headed for higher ground.
The news media reported that a group of normally-docile
elephants tore their retaining stakes from the ground and ran
uphill towards safety, trumpeting warnings for others to
follow. As soon as the tsunami struck and started to recede,
the elephants returned and used their height and strength to
rescue children from the flood waters and carry them to higher
ground.
At some point in human history, we decided to explore the
concept of separation. We wanted, not just physically separate
bodies, but a real sense of conscious separation from other
people.
Already, we had separate, individual souls, spirits and
physical bodies. We decided to go all the way and be born with
no conscious connection to each other. In other words, we would
be, for once, truly separate and independent entities while in
physical bodies.
Even though we would still be connected to the whole, as all
things are, we would not be consciously aware of that
connection. Now THAT, we thought, would be an experience!
The fundamental reason for individuality is so that the
original Creator can experience itself from an infinite number
of viewpoints. How much more realistic, we asked, would it be
if the viewpoints were truly independent and creative, with
their own senses of intelligence and freewill?
Since those days, long forgotten in the mists of time, people
have been born into a world where separation is their reality.
It is also a world where the fear of lack can easily develop.
Under adverse conditions, the will to survive becomes a fear
for survival. The idea that there are only so many resources
available for one's survival creates the will to fight for
those resources. The fear of being overpowered in a potentially
dangerous environment can lead to the desire to gain power over
others in order to feel more secure.
And so, the negative underbelly of separation from source
began to develop. As people became more and more separated from
each other by the harsh experience of the selfish drives of
other people, the darkness deepened. In a world of aloneness,
where the next person cannot be trusted, where is one to turn?
Foreseeing these depths of darkness, the Creator has
repeatedly sent individuals of great light into this world of
mankind, individuals who have shown people the way out of
darkness. Western culture is most familiar with the emotionally
transformative teachings of Jesus. Other cultures have also
been given teachers who bring great light in ways that are best
suited to them. Examples of these include the Buddha, Krishna,
Confucius and Lao Tse.
Today, the current chapter of human experience on Earth is
drawing to a close. These are the days of The Shift. The
frequency of all life on the planet is being raised so that a
new chapter of life can begin. The old guard is passing away
and the new children being born today resonate to the frequency
of the new consciousness. The world is changing and, today, we
are witnessing today the very birth of a New Reality.
