When we reach the outer borders of our perceptions, we either leap into a new awareness or we spin around in the circle of repetitive experience. Eventually we will come to a stop when we must make a change. Things fall apart when they have outlived their usefulness. In human life, that means when we are no longer learning and growing from them. Time for a leap. Not a leap of faith but a leap of consciousness. That might be the time for some “what if”” ideas.
What if I were living exactly the way I would choose? What would that be? What if I were perfectly healthy? How would that change things? What if I never worried about money? What would I be doing? Those are personal questions that could get us started on a possible leap into more conscious living. I believe that humanity is right there on the edge as well. We cannot continue the way we have been up until now. What if the human race leaped out of our fear of difference?
What if we were living with one another in peace and harmony? What thoughts about people would we be having? What decisions would we make regarding the distribution of wealth, of goods and services? What if war were obsolete, completely out of the realm of possibility? What would our young men and women be doing instead? What if we knew that God was in us, not outside of us? How would we access that power?
“What if” questions are a good way to challenge our current beliefs and to get us thinking from the potential we all possess. The human race has only just begun, really. We haven’t been around very long in universal terms. Can we make some leaps from survival to thrival? I think we can. What if we believed that?
Stay tuned in,
