To bring about changes in relation to global conflict, the new consciousness requires a radically transformed awareness of what is true. The current global perspective of a victim versus victimizer view of each other, perpetrates exactly what it is we want to remedy.
The moment we say (or even think) this person or that group of people are victimizers perpetrating atrocities toward another person or group of people, we are expressing the very hatred and negativity we want to stop. The victim/victimizer perception is a very limited way of looking at the situation.
The kind of energy and consciousness inherent in looking at anything in a negative way is perpetuating the problem, and is denying the unchangeable truth of who each of us is, and is supporting the negative illusions which we are here on earth to dissolve.
No one attacks who does not think he or she is being attacked, whether it is on a conscious or unconscious level. When we feel we are being attacked we then feel justified in righteously "defending" ourselves. The defense is just as much an attack as the initial attack. As humanity has evolved we are doing this victim-defense-revenge thing on less gross and obvious levels, but the mentality that causes conflict is still the same.
Negative forms of expression come from a distorted concept of who we think we are. When we accept that negative concept of the self as truth, we are reinforcing insanity, pain, conflict and misery. There is a transformation of consciousness when we look beyond the negative expression of what seems to be an unacceptable person.
When instead we look from an unconditional loving place of clarity, and see who each other truly is, we are reinforcing the sane and evolved aspects of ourselves and each other.
There are two aspects of healing and transformation that need to take place here on earth. One is from the perspective of the person who experiences him or herself as being dysfunctional, whether it is in the form of being a victim or a destructive person. And the other is from the perspective of the person who perceives that person as being a victim or a destructive person.
Both perspectives are like flip sides of the same coin, and are pivotal in holding in place a distorted view of reality. In my experience a person who experiences himself as other than the magnificent soul each person truly is, does so because of unconscious, negative beliefs about himself (limiting decisions*). And then those beliefs come out as negative expressions.
As long as we accept the negative perceptions of either ourselves or others as truth, we are not coming from sanity. We are supporting an untrue perception of reality and we are not upholding the truth of who we are. There is also no possibility of finding a way to mend the split between each other, because separation is inherent in this kind of perception.
This is true from the most obvious physical manifestations to very subtle forms, from the global arena to our everyday interactions with those closest to us. We have been treating each other as enemies in our most intimate relationships. If we don't transform this on our most personal levels, how can we possibly solve it globally. We must start with our in-the-moment, day-to-day personal relating. It is our own perception of ourselves and each other that causes the conflicts we perceive in the world, and that is what needs to change.
*Limiting decisions: An NLP term that means unconscious decisions made in early childhood, that are some form of that life doesn't work, and usually that there is something inherently wrong with you -- such as "I am powerless," "bad," "without value;" "People can't be trusted," and so on. Limiting decisions are never true.
