With pressures building as they are within cultures, societies, and nations it has created a space in time for us to really reflect on our relation to these aspects of life and an opportunity to redefine the way we interact with them. For some this has led to the stark realization that we are quite disturbed with the state of all these things and would prefer not to have any interaction at all.
According to many scriptures, philosophies, prophecies and spiritual belief systems this is supposed to be a time of great change and upheaval for our planet. And many of us that have come to the realization expressed above are aware of this factor as well and feel something of a calling to start to implement new ways of doing things.
Unity of Divine Creation Ministry wants to support people through this great transition. In my vision for our ministry, from a bird's eye view there are a few major steps that need to be taken to shift out of these harmful, destructive ways and into ones of joy and abundance.
We need to stop participating in the train to nowhere
And nowhere may be putting it nicely. From some varying perspectives it is obvious that the direction of society is driven by people that seek to exploit it for their own benefit or the benefit of small groups. They build up situations of extreme controversy and conflict then with a few very premeditated moves they exploit it and profit at the expense of those they pull into their web. These people are willing to destroy this planet and its people for their own gain. It is obvious that if we let them keep driving this train we are bound for destruction.
An equally important element of this is that some people will choose to remain on this train to oblivion against their best interests. They are willing to follow these people and these plans to the end for some reason or another. And we have to accept that. Now, that doesn't mean we can't share our perspective and let them know that we can work together to come up with a solution. We can, and should. But just as we want to exercise our free will to choose our path, we must let them do the same. And our focus needs to be on the path we chose, not theirs.
We need a lawful and spiritual foundation for a new society
For the Unity of Divine Creation Ministry, this is a somewhat defining characteristic of our method.
The lawful foundation is the more mundane aspect of these two. With the way societies currently operate, the lawful foundation is what provides us with what we need to interface within the current system and define our boundaries. It also allows us to provide definition with the way we will peacefully interact with other societies through commerce and in other ways.
I included the spiritual foundation with the lawful foundation because in this model they are actually mirrors of one another. In the most simple way of looking at this, faith is required to make this transition and trust and cooperation are required to make it work. Our hearts must be in the right place to work together.
In a more metaphysical aspect part of this endeavor is based on theories of Natural or Divine Law which may act as a bridge between the lawful and spiritual. Without going into nuance, the basic premise is that if we are in alignment with The Will of The Divine, or if we are acting for the maximum benefit of all sentient beings, then our plans cannot fail. We can't be sure to be in alignment all the time, but we believe that if we give it an honest try that the Grace of God will be granted to us and we will find a way to make our next steps along our path.
We need organizational structure and support systems in place
The organizational structure is where the rubber hits the road after everything else is in place. We need ways to coordinate, network, build and support our communities and we need the people to do those things. And since we are trying to 'leave' that old system we want to distill the best of it to carry over while also implementing new, progressive solutions.
In this perspective it starts with independent communities working on the same principles. With proper organizational structure and the use of progressive technologies to support them these communities will be unique expressions of the same divine principles working in harmony. This is also a time when things can start to get really fun for a larger audience. We get to see each other's creativity come through to organize and create systems that do more for more people with less time involved.
For my vision of Unity of Divine Creation Ministry, I see these first two stops as being our meditative and intention setting steps. This is where we must really awaken to what's going on, and start to crystallize our vision for a better future. Whenever trying to manifest, the mental work must be done first. Through the coordination of our thoughts and emotions we can put energy into this vision. The third step is where we as living beings in this world must do the physical work to actualize this vision and truly manifest it.
So for all of the members of Unity of Divine Creation Ministry and for non-members that share a vision of a better future let's together understand the framework laid out above. Let's keep these thoughts in our minds and hearts as we also start to visualize our own place in its workings. And these may be our commitment to manifesting the true unity of divine creation within our lifetimes.
