The shift - Choose love over fear

It’s not about me or about you. It’s about us all.

In societies where fears, control and dividing criticism is the default mode, true (personal) freedom and liberation seems like a fantasy. Genuinely unattainable.

Misaligned and disconnected from nature -by design-, our current societies promote isolation, polarity and division. They cultivate disconnection, fear and chaos. They are built to serve games of power rather than existence.

As humans (evolved mammals), we organize our lives in groups (societies) with the primary goal to survive. And yet we live in a world where survival is the constant variable, i.e., it can never be truly and fully secured. On the contrary, the only certainty is that, someday, we’ll all lose it…

So, what’s the point of having ‘survival’ as the primary goal for forming societies in a world that is inherently unsafe and unpredictable?

Then, it cannot be about survival. Rather it’s about avoiding the fear of suffering while we are still alive. This is what actually drives, builds and steers societies today.

Ourcurrent societal structures are fear and control (or avoidance thereof) based and their primary goal is to avoid suffering, temporarily, through numbness, addiction and distraction.

We live in fear 24/7. It’s the fear of punishment. It’s the fear of rejection for not meeting the rules, standards and expectations (of an external authority). It’s the fear of standing out from the crowd and leading your own life. It’s the fear of being authentically and unapologetically YOU.

This model is not sustainable. These are societies built on fragile ground. Societies ready to crumble in the face of adversity.

Within such societies, true personal freedom is genuinely unattainable, if not delusional. For as long as control/mitigation/avoidance of suffering is the primary goal, true freedom cannot really exist. It does not even stand a chance within the current societal paradigm.

The shift of the paradigm

An inner call for personal freedom is threatening for our current societies. It is dangerous for the fear-based system that created them in the first place.

Yet, the shift has already started. The primary goal for many has already shifted from survival to freedom.

More and more of us are been called (at a collective level) to evolve beyond mammalian nature, shift our focus and recalibrate our psyches and ultimately our lives towards a different primary virtue/goal: Inner peace and balance. For only then we will be able to experience, true (personal) freedom and create societies that can support us in this way of being.

We are ultimately called to re-create and re-shape new evolved societies, beyond the current dynamics of leaders and followers (of a group). We are called to move towards personal leadership and inner authority.

But before the new can be (re)born, the old must first die. We need to crumble, release, destroy, burn to the ground beliefs, stories, narratives, behaviors and dynamics driven by fears of suffering and survival, both at individual and collective level.

This is not a fantasy, this is not a delusion, this is not even a dream. This is not even optional. It’s actually essential for our survival as species on this planet. The shift is real…and is already happening. Most likely we’ll not be here to experience the complete formation of the new societal structure in our lifetime, but nevertheless we are here now…and we are here for a reason.

To be(come) part of this shift… So, let’s make the most of it!
