Even in small new age communes that seek to live harmoniously, endless problems arise. Leadership problems, clashing egos, sexual jealousy, laziness, cleanliness. The list goes on. So perhaps those who say Utopia isn't possible have a point? But in fact what they are actually saying is that they can't be bothered to grow up and want to remain an adolescent forever never taking responsibility for their actions.
We as human beings have been gifted with a great gift, it is perhaps the greatest gift that we have. Our emotional body, our capacity to feel and to experience both positive and negative emotions. It is through our emotional body that we grow as Soul and Spirit. Without feeling there is no growth. Our capacity to feel is vast and we can feel the depths of darkest agony and the heights of Supreme bliss. The negative is also our teacher, it teaches us about the consequences of our actions, and how it FEELS. The negative also defines the positive so we have a frame of reference as to what feeling good actually is.
I often encounter people who tell me: "I feel like shit." or "I feel like shit all the time.". The way we feel is telling us something about our karma and also the state of our soul. But there is no judgement here, it is just a statement of fact. Also there is the fact that on this planet there are many bad energies around, low vibrations which feel pretty damn awful. This is telling us something about the collective karma of humanity. Feelings of Joy and Bliss if we experience them can seem rare and fleeting and this is true for even the most wealthy and famous people.
Some meditators can experience happiness by entering a trance or projecting themselves to the inner planes, the higher planes where there are infinite energies of Joy, Visions of wonder, and beauty untold that melts the heart with exquisite bliss. If you have the freedom of the higher planes in this way you are very fortunate. But all that inner bliss does exactly nothing for those who suffer here on Earth day to day. In other words unless you can bring back something of that Bliss you feel and share it with your fellow man, it is meaningless to the world. My point is we are looking for Joy and Bliss that everyone can experience in this world as opposed to the low energies and bad feelings that most suffer from.
As I have said there are infinite energies in subtle yet profound shades of enjoyment that we can experience with our emotional body. To bring heaven down to Earth is to allow just a tiny percent of the bliss of the higher planes to enter the world.
Darkness and negativity are our teachers, we encounter them all the time in our lives on this world, and essentially they are teaching us that if we wish to experience lasting Joy and Bliss we must confront our own inner negativity and recognize it for what it is, understand it's purpose and move beyond it. Once we do this we are free, we become mature and are able to experience the fruits of positivity, not in mindless ignorance but as mature Spirits who fully understand the purposes and uses of darkness and negativity. In such a state the negative powers have no influence over us, because we have already conquered them within our own heart.
When a small community or more is able to do this through Love and Wisdom this will spread throughout humanity who can then experience lasting Joy and Bliss and all the unending abundance and infinite beauty as real in our life and our feelings. We transform each other and the world. We create Heaven on Earth. Utopia fails because it is full of adolescents who fail to take responsibility for themselves. But a community of those who Love with Wisdom, free of attachment and Ego, who are at one with each other and the planet and in harmony with the Universe, will last in bliss and joy for all ages of the world.
The meditation: May all experience lasting bliss and joy.
