Vol.2.2 - Are We in the Void?

Robert Brumet, a Unity minister believes that we are in "The VOID".  He defines the VOID as being in between the old and the as yet-to-be-determined new.   This VOID makes us feel very  uncomfortable and  off balance, but we are in limbo?   He thinks not -- the VOID could be compared to winter -- a "dead" time of year -- we think, but is that true.  What we may not realize is during the winter season there is much going on underground.  Plants and bulbs are getting ready to burst forth in the spring by storing nutrients and growing and spreading their roots during this seemingly "dead" season.  When the conditions are right new blooms in all of their vibrancy will grace the landscape again.  Brumet believes the same to be true for all of us -- when the conditions are right the VOID will end and something new will spring forth.

Similarly Deepak Chopra also believes that chaos and instability equal an opportunity for a collective change -- when we collectively reach rock bottom, we will change, because the current situation is not sustainable.    Have we sunk to our collective rock bottom?  I certainly don't know.   What I do know and do believe is that change begins within each and everyone of us.  As Chopra further states, "Be the shift inside of you, then you can communicate the shift to others...soon others are resonating on the same frequency and the energy spreads."

Christopher Renza, a health writer suggests that "at the most fundamental level of being human there is a primal energy exchange that happens between us whether we are conscious of it or not."  He also asserts that "quantum physics has theoretically proven that everything is in a constant state of energy exchange."  It is that energy that connects all of us together and brings us into relationship with one another.

Chopra suggests that we "look at the chaos in the world through the lens of what is the opportunity here for us".   He further instructs us to to ask ourselves:  "What are my unique skills at this moment?  What do I really care about?  Who are the people I can connect with and ask for help?  Who are the people I can help with?  How can I nurture the right relationships and are they examples of the people who have made a differences in this kind of situation?"

Our collective consciousness can and will change.  That change is well under way -- the Occupy Wall Street movement, the Tea Party faithful, broadcasters and  writers voicing their concerns, disgruntled workers and disenfranchised students are all speaking out.  While they may have different points of view, they are putting energy out.  This growing energy  has not all come together yet.   If we are in the VOID as Brumet claims, we all are growing in awareness, nearly unnoticed,  just like plants in winter.  We are being creative, sharing ideas and thus forming an energy that is working toward that moment, when the time is just right -- when our collective consciousness changes -- and a new beginning bursts forth.
