A NEW WORLD ORDER

"By mind the world is led"

—The Buddha.

A New World Order is all about bringing about a new horizon, a new way of life, a life where greed and hatred have no place in our daily lives but only brotherly love, respect and understanding. It is all about restoring the self respect and the dignity of man. It is about giving people back to themselves through the process of raising the human consciousness above the current state of affairs.

Man has managed to tip the scales of balance and harmony, but unfortunately, not in his favor. Should no corrective measures are taken to restore the balance, we can all bid adieus and kiss each goodbye. This is because the larger System, of which planet Earth and man are part of it, will begin to restore the balance. The Universe is at all times trying to strike a balance. This balance is inherent in everything in the universe. Man is no exception. And in the process of doing so, Life as it is will have to make a change. The outcome from the natural act of balancing may not be something we may all desire. We may end up not existing at all and Life would have taken a different form all together. And this is all perfect as far as the System is concerned. Life adapts itself. Should we wish to continue life in the present state with all our achievements in all areas, then it is important that a shift in the consciousness of man be deliberately made. It has to be done consciously and it has to be done now. This is called Conscious Evolution.

"The cup is useful only when it is empty. With most of us, the mind is clouded, cluttered up with so many things. It is never empty. And creation can take place only in the mind that is totally empty. Creation is always new, and therefore the mind is made constantly fresh, young, innocent; it doesn't repeat, and therefore it doesn't create habits. To bring about a different human being, and therefore a different society, a different world, there must be ending of sorrow; for it is only in the ending of sorrow that there is a new life."

—J. Krishnamurthi

RAISING THE HUMAN CONSCIOUSNESS

Raising the collective consciousness of mankind can take place when man as an individual raises his own consciousness. Whether we are aware of it or not, the human consciousness is constantly changing. Whether it is changing for the better or for the worse, positively or negatively, that is the crux of the issue here. To raise the human consciousness is to affect it positively and intentionally, with clarity, with precision and with focus, not leaving anything to chance.

What would be the purpose and the effect of raising the human consciousness? It would lead man to a global awareness, an understanding, a conviction, that man is not an island. He cannot be. Though he may be seen to be an individual but he is also the collective. He is a part of you and you are a part of him, and we are a part of the whole universe and most importantly, we are never apart and we will never be. This is not something new. Spiritual scientists of modern times and ancient seekers have spoken on this. They have been documented. Modern scientists are now coming to terms with these ancient truths. They are speaking of a Unified Field or a matrix that connects each and everything in this universe.

Man will realize that he is no more an individual making individual decisions as and when he likes. He will realize that his very thoughts about a decision he wants to take can cause ripples in the collective consciousness of man. This awareness will shift man's understanding about life as a whole and his position and roles in the common matrix. He will see a shift from his current modes of operations in his life to a level much higher where he can view himself as a co-creator of his outcomes of his life rather than a victim, as what he is experiencing right now. He would have moved from the "I" to the "We".

Such a shift is already in the making. Many books have already been written with the hope that more and more people will awaken from their slumbers and start taking life seriously should we choose to continue life with all our achievements so far.

Man will come to realize that there are latent powers within him, at his disposal, which he now only wishes he has. It has been with him all this while but he has not been aware of it. Through the raising of the human consciousness, he will come to realize that we are indeed never separate from one another and that we are in fact just One appearing as many, existing at different rates of vibration and frequency and hence with different mindsets. Currently, we are creating situations through our actions and reactions, without being actually aware of the consequences of such actions. With indifference to the situations, we just go on and on in the mire of life, not knowing how to get out. Unknowingly, through our collective consciousness, we end up creating situations and circumstances that we actually despise.

The creation of a New World Order is about discovering new frontiers, quite alike to what Gene Roddenberry had proposed in his Star Trek movies, to venture into frontiers where no man has dared to venture before. This would be the most daring of all ventures of man, should he decide to undertake this mission. It is not an impossible task but at the same time it will be no easy task either. This journey has to be undertaken not by just a few of us. Many would prefer that the people in power and position like the politicians and the religionist, to whom we all look onto to solve our problems, would take the lead and all we do is just tag along, but it is a journey to be taken and explored by all of us. It involves everyone and it involves our life. This is a serious subject we are into. It involves everything that man has ever worked so hard for over the millennia. We just cannot afford to lose them especially the rich cultures of some societies, the multifarious languages, the music and the dances, the science and technology, the religions and spirituality and everything else that man holds onto very close to their hearts.

But then again, no matter how serious a subject can be, we just cannot afford to lose our sense of humor and lighten things up throughout our journey. As a matter of fact it is mandatory. And that's because we are 'light' onto ourselves. It is said that the lighter the luggage, the better is the journey. As we literally become 'light', we will tend to be less serious on survival matters but instead will soar high and enjoy the way we live our lives, together as one big family, from moment to moment. We will open our hearts and minds more and more, and in the process of doing so, we will become enlightened, ie we become light itself, our...
