Let us make an effort to “perceive” ourselves as new, it is different from understanding ourselves.
To understand ourselves means analyzing events, using the mind, comparing what is happening with other situations, other people: to “perceive” means giving space to our instinct, to our deepest urges, that sometimes are unknown to us.
We often have feelings and sudden reactions that surprise us, that make us think, because we have never had or experimented them before.
In these cases we could say that it is the New, that is entering us, but it is not exactly like that, because we are ARE ALREADY the New, and we are rediscovering it now, we are giving it space, the right of citizenship; The New has not taken shape in this moment, it has always been parallel with the Old, however our Awareness was focussed on the Old way of living.
NOW the New which has received citizenship and visibility, is taking us by surprise.
Not by making us reason in a different way, but by putting our instinctive reaction in first place, which we do not usually do.
We have always reasoned in a specific way when faced with certain events and themes, and we know ourselves precisely through this way of reasoning.
NOW, unexpectedly, from our interior comes a reaction, a way of living situations in a different way.
It is the New that is progressing?
We must welcome it, accept it, realize that our reactions are very different, and only then try to understand it.
The first phase must be to welcome it, not to ignore it, not to analyze our way of feeling; to understand the change that is pervading us must be left to the last.
First we respond in a certain way, welcoming this new way of reacting, but we can understand it completely only after we have tried to understand and analyze it.
At this point, a comparison must naturally arise: why did I react sometimes in one way, and now I am reacting differently?
The biggest mistake at this moment is to reason about what is suggested from elsewhere in a logical, dialectical, insinuating way.
Instead we must reason between our self and our self, to bring into focus this New Instinct, to see if these reactions that rise from our inner self are in Harmony WITH US.
Not in Harmony with society, or other people’s suggestions, but simply in Harmony WITH US, and therefore if we feel they are right FOR US.
Here then we enter and become part of the New, we live it, we consolidate it, and above all we make progress.
The New exists, it has always existed: NOW it is manifesting itself to many people, and needs to be consolidated.
An enormous number of beings in the world have already consolidated the New within themselves: they have no other way of reasoning, offering themselves and managing situations except through this new vibration, this New Paradigm.
Another mass of people is still attached to the Old Paradigm, and do not admit even vaguely the New, it frightens them.
There is still a third group of undecided people, who could free the New within them, simply with Silence, being Aware of the new reactions they have in situations, without being afraid because they are different to their usual reactions, and especially trying to welcome them without being conditioned by them.
At the moment the conditioning of the Old Paradigm is very strong, it is like a tempter, seductive because you know it, and even if it hasn’t given you the hoped for results (actually it has provoked disasters) it is at least something you know. There is a dialectic that we have practiced for a long time, there are arguments which we have always judged fruitful ( without considering that after the arguments, each person continues to believe in his own ideas), and so at the moment, the Old seems the right way, because it is less tiring and we feel more confident with it.
The New is to be invented, be discovered, the New means participate, contribute, everyone must bring something, solutions cannot be expected to come from others.
Everyone within the limits of their way of living must find solutions that they feel are the most favorable for themselves, make the choices that are right for them, always from the perspective of renewal.
I repeat, we must PERCEIVE ourselves as new, not mentally analyzing our behavior too much, but simply asking ourselves if we feel this behavior is right for us.
Even if it is fanciful, utopian, unlikely to be put into practice immediately, it should not frighten us anyway.
We must simply ask ourselves; would I like a world like that?
Can I recognize myself in these principles?
If the answer is yes, I adhere to what regards me, for the task that Life has assigned me, related to my Life’s project, and so I will embrace this New, consolidate it within me, make it the basis for my way of living, and will not worry about what I have left behind.
I will not worry about either persuading others, or to be part of a minority, or take refuge again in the Old Paradigm because it gives me more mental assurance.
This is very important: the Old Paradigm gives me more mental assurance, because I know it.
If however we are honest with ourselves, we must recognize that precisely because we know it, we must come to the conclusion considering the results, just what has the Old Paradigm produced?
If what it has produced is in Harmony for us, if we can see ourselves in it, that it needs adjusting, but corresponds to our needs, then we must continue tranquilly to live in the Old Paradigm.
If after an analysis of the results, we can see the incongruity, the injustice, the prevarications, the conditioning that the Old Paradigm has over us, then with great simplicity we must put it aside, and without fear or apprehension, but with absolute Trust in Life – immerse ourselves in the New Paradigm as we feel it is right for us, and consolidate it.
