In this case the assumption is that all of humanity would be better off if the people in positions of power who also happen to have lots and lots of money “got it,” that they can’t take the money and power with them and what would they do in the world? You see, when you are contemplating transformation in yourself or in others you must be careful to deliberately search out and wherever possible re-examine and dismantle any and all assumptions.
This is very difficult because you often have within you, something frimly rooted in your past lives and in your own nature. The animals do not always have this, you know?
Oh, yes they have their own assumptions based on their own instincts. But, oftentimes remembering an animal companion can be very helpful at releasing an assumption. Just imagine that you are enjoying life with that animal friend, that you are swimming in the waves or running through the land or flying through the air and that animal is with you sharing its own awareness as if to help you move through your own assumptions and see things in a new light and see things as they have not been before.
Oftentimes, the guides, helpers and many energies shape the dreams, the visions, the understanding of those in positions of power as well as those who are struggling or those who are asking questions. This is not to say that everything is just as good as it could possibly be, no it coild be a lot better.
At the same time though, you do recognize that there can be benefits and this is also to be asked. What benefit are these beings having on the planet? There is the aspect of survival as difficult as this is for you to understand, humanity has had for many years, indeed since the end of WWII the capacity to destroy the planet many times over and has not used it. This often is as a result of those in positions of power and money and the ability to do so have held back and seen that such would not be to their own benefit and such would only bring misery and destruction to themselves as well as to everyone else on the planet.
So, as things continue and there are more and more opportunities for people to “get it,” to understand and become more aware and to transform but at the same time this brings some of these energies clearer into focus for you to understand for yourself what does it mean to have such power? What does it mean to have the ability to destroy or to build? To create or to transform?
There are important attributes in this that should always be understood. One assumption might be that karma, particularly the negative karma that results eventually when harm is done to others, that karma is coming slowly to these people in positions of power. You might assume that but you might be wrong because indeed on a daily basis they are burning that karma and dealing with it as best they can. They are also preventing others in positions of power who are also working with their own difficulties from harming many others on your planet.
But, in clearing assumptions what techniques can be helpful? Yes, of course you can go directly at it and examine them. The technique “the work” by Byron Katie, this is often personal and that which works with your own aaumtions on many levels. There are other techniques, too. A beautiful one is “just like me,” where you are looking at another person and seeing their difficulty and then flipping it around to see how it might apply to you.
In fact, you assume for a moment that that way of being is yours and see what you get from it. What you learn from it, what changes? What would you do differently? It’s not just an assumption it is simply an avenue that you have overlooked because it has been there all along. Indeed, it has a profound effect on you and all of the people around you.
Another powerful technique in dismantling assumptions is to go to the heart of what they mean to you by asking, “what do you want more than that?” To the assumption of karma coming slowly. Would you want it to come quickly? What do you want more than for it to come quickly? Perhaps you want a peaceful world where everybody gets it? What do you want more than that? Maybe you want an alignment with others that this is already in place and it is simply a matter of recognizing how it could be manifested more easily in the world?
Yet, this collective consciousness that fears transformation muct be seen as an important component of that very aspect that reduces the opportunity for transformation. Yes, it is a catch -22 or the dog chasing its tail or other ways in which you can visualize it or understand it. You can break through it now immediately by asking yourself, “in what avenue of my life would some transformation be valuable?” If nothing shows up it’s easy to find it in one of the principles we just mentioned. Who out there in the world do you see that could use some transformation? Then, “Just like me?” Where do you have that? Where can you apply it to yourself? Where can you allow that transformation? Or, if they are not doing something that you wish they were, what is that “not” covering? What is that reality for you?
Or, what do you want more than that transformation for yourself and for that person and what do you want more than that? So, you see it is possible sometimes by shifting the context and seeing things in a different way and to work with transformation at every possible level. At the same time though, it is to be noted that one can be working with this on so many levels and in so many ways the best we can do is graze the surface of such. Thus, encouraging others to contemplate frequently the very minimum once a week. Where can some transformation in my life show up that would be helpful for me and anyone else in my life? A very interesting sort of question to ask for yourself.
