Evolutionary Spirituality
The
New Awakening is not as we imagine, it is not the exclusive “spirituality” of ‘spiritual
teachers and spiritual students’, of ‘spiritual leaders and spiritual groups’
of ‘spiritual orders’. It is a new “Inherent, natural spirituality” – a natural
awareness of the spirit of Oneness connecting all things.
It
is an inherent awareness of existence as that ‘which it is’, and so it is
really ‘nothing special’, it is simply a clearer perception of life’s dynamic Oneness
and interconnection.
The
“forms” of the ‘old way’ are really not very relevant to those in tune with
this new Spirituality. This is because the buildings which the ‘old forms’ were
creating, have now been built and the new spirituality does not need those old forms
anymore; they can be taken down so new forms can be built upon them. Yes, “forms” are necessary for manifestation,
and what the New Spirituality needs is new forms – this is spiritual evolution!
This
natural, inherent awareness of being interconnected will result in new forms
that embrace, enable and nurture individual, social and global holistic structures
that are in harmony with our “Inter-being”. The old forms were rigid, protective, exclusive
forms, whereas the new forms will be organic and will come from people and
places all over the place, all over the world!
Oh
Light Bearers, Oh Lamp Lighters, to be relevant we must keep our hearts, minds,
eyes and ears open to this change of form. Just as the old forms were exciting
and wondrous in their time, the new forms will be a beautiful thing to see as
they emerge and overcome the forces of inertia, duality and self-centeredness.
