Future Feedback

      Your article on the potential effect of “feedback” was a joy to read. I always delight in reading the heartfelt descriptions of the personal awakenings of others. While their interpretation of the teachings of those who have inspired them may differ because the experience itself is ineffable, and because their periscope pokes out of their own pool of consciousness at a different coordinate in the sea of universal mind, the basic template of reality from which they draw their personal interpretation is always the same.  

      What might be important to recognize, as we compare our awakening experiences with those of others, is that since we are all moving toward the same event horizon as a species, every authentic awakening, regardless of the person or teaching providing the inspiration, is equally valid and is fed back into the mix as an encouragement to further overall progress. To expand upon it just a bit more then, exposure to different authentic teachings might further expand our individual consciousness as we move in the direction of that event horizon. Which is also a way of saying that restricting our exposure to a single thread of authentic knowledge might result in a myopic viewpoint, and a possible feedback stop-point.  

      I know this to be true in my own case; I currently hold to only one particular interpretation of the potential for future events. While I try to listen to many different authentic voices, I mostly hear what reinforces the strength of my own growing viewpoint. The stronger this viewpoint becomes, the more intensely it affects the potential future as it is fed back into the mix. Knowing that this is something I have a tendency to do will hopefully result in my being able to more openly accept a wider range of possible events leading to our shared future. And the more open I become to other possible solutions to our shared crisis, the more possible those solutions become as I feed them back into the mix as well.  

      Since I acknowledge that the ocean to which we are all heading is Love, I try to linger for as long as I need to in the captive eddies of a particular authentic voice; absorb from that teaching what I need in that moment, absorb the significance of the synchronicities associated with the appearance of that voice, and then move on down stream.  

      My hope is that others who are awakening will do the same; listen to and compare all of the authentic voices of awakening that are brought to your door of perception. The primary inspiration leading to your awakening was meant to grab your attention and to fix the direction of your journey, not to hold you captive to it.
