Competition and Collaboration

Competition is a BIG DEAL for us humans. There is nothing wrong with competition. It has brought us to where we are now in our evolution. Yet, as we continue to evolve, what was once our necessary framework and vehicle of journeying, has now become our LIMITATION.

This concept is like an oak tree that is sprouted in a small pot. The pot is where the seed receives its nutrients, water and conditions for it to sprout. The pot is important so that the seed can get what it needs without all of the water leeching away from it. Once the seed sprouts, it’s critical that the seedling be transplanted into fertile ground with the proper conditions. The pot is no longer useful for the tree to grow. In fact, if we leave the tree in the pot, it will eventually become so root bound and unable to expand that the very thing that helped it to sprout is limiting it from growing and eventually it will DIE.

This is where we are in our human evolution. We have come very far in our technological advancements, and we’ve done it through competition. However, through this process, we’ve also created a lot of human suffering in the form of poverty, hunger, environmental destruction, war, crime- all fueled by our human greed and hunger for power.

Underneath this Greed and Power is our human feeling of not having enough, of being separate from everything and everyone. Underneath this feeling of not having enough is the feeling of not BEING ENOUGH, or our UNWORTHINESS. It is a universal human feeling, and we all have different ways of addressing this feeling of unworthiness and inadequacy.

Going back to our human poverty, hunger, environmental issues, there is currently available the technology to address all of these issues. Actually, people aren’t going hungry and poor because there’s not enough food and money. People are hungry and poor because the food and wealth is not DISTRIBUTED properly. Why? Because our current system relies on competition, which is fueled by greed and power, which is generated from our universal feeling of Unworthiness and feeling SEPARATE from everything we need and want.

We cannot and will not solve human problems by operating within the framework that created the problems to begin with. In order to implement this technology that is ready and waiting for us to end world hunger and poverty and environmental destruction, we must experience a SHIFT in HUMAN CONSCIOUSNESS.

How do we do this? It must occur on an INDIVIDUAL level. As each of us EMBODY the LOVE that we are by being PRESENT with LOVE and ACCEPTANCE for all of the human parts of ourselves that feel so SEPARATE as they arise HERE NOW, we wake up to our LIMITLESS nature as ONE.

From this place of Oneness, Unity, Awareness, Consciousness, Love that WE ARE, we no longer feel the need to COMPETE with one another. Instead, we begin COLLABORATING because we understand there’s enough for everyone. We begin to operate from the place of BEING ALL THAT IS. This is how we create a new earth!
