99 steps to reclaiming your individuality Step #8
Growth & Rebirth:
Individuality is a process of continual growth. Socially, culturally , intellectually our spirit compels us to grow.. When we do not embrace or acknowledge that spirit, stagnation occurs and we lapse into a cycle of spiritual redundancy. Many if not all of the ills of our society can be found locked in the endless loop of this state. To go into each of these maladies is not our intention or scope. What ever hinders spiritual growth, understanding and identifying it is a critical step in the process of escaping the stagnation that the individual experiences, but for the purposes of this lesson we simply choose to accept the errant direction of our past actions or state of mind, acknowledge it and move on. We do this because as we discovered in our last lesson, our periods of rest that we experience in our neutral state give us an incorporated time of reflection without the derogatory associations that our hesitant nature state will often color our decisions, movements and actions with..This notion of abandoning guilt is something very new to us now. So long have we been prisoners of the endless ebb and flow of externalized authority, with all its oppressive dictates, connotations and penalties, that the notion of self rule, even in-its-self, seems to conjure up feelings of rebellion. This is not rebellion, but liberation, there is a difference! But with it also come a new found responsibility, self accountability.
The rebirth we now experience as self-accountable individuals separates us from the herd. And this new way of viewing our environment seems alienating for the interim, this is natural, but should be clarified.. First of all it is not new, in the sense of being something that we must adopt, it is simply something that we abandoned through our own lax outlook, or was obscured by the manipulative nature of our externalized societal influence.. Which ever the case, we are now free of its influence, if we will continue on our path of reclaiming our inalienable right to individuality.
Learning to present yourself as an individual in today's society, will conflict, there is no doubt about that. Society for the most part, has narrowed the scope of expression to a dualistic paradigm. feigning this ideal that acting with a global conscience, is the way to peaceful cohabitation, but the truth is, it is just the opposite. It is the kettling of individuals for marketability, merchantability and manipulation en-masse of populations. That should be quite evident to anyone today.
When we start expressing ourselves as individuals, who through the principles of self accountability, with envisioned ideals that focus on self empowerment, self sustainability and self management. We can turn the tides of the doomsday machine that is in overdrive now. The many selves who by their very narrative want for others what they wish for themselves. This is not an unworkable ideology, We have only been conditioned to believe so. Will you stand united by the one, and prove them wrong?.
