All Together Now

Count Keyserling in his book Men as Symbols described all the makers of history as intrinsically misearable; he argues that it is the unhappiness with their existing conditions that propeled those heros to places where no man had gone before. That's very sad and probably true. Can we ever reach a stage or a time when the hero can be intrinsically happy on her journey?

You can be happy and be a hero if you accept to be part of something bigger and that you quitely contribute your share and let the system take you to the divine destination. Take Wikipedia as an example, how many heros have put this work together and you don't know anything about their contributions. By the way, your body works that way too, all the trillions of cells are working together in harmony (and those that do not are the cancerous ones). This is the most terrific team work excercise you can think of. To use this analogy, if you work in harmony with a wave of consciousness that is developing during your time, it should be in your power to lift mankind to a higher level and be happy in the process. However, this concept of course implies that you are on the same trajectory; if it is your job to show mankind that the current wave is headed in the wrong direction and start a new one instead, expect some resistance.

I have chosen the name Zeitgeist for myself, which implies that I am part of a wave of consciousness and all I really have to do is surfing. This emerging spiritual wave is momentous and can't be stopped any longer. What I think, you think. What I write now was something you wondered about this morning. I don't need to do anything, just be and be happy in the process. All together now!
