In my previous article, I reflected on the importance of aligning ourselves at the center of a worldview. This month’s article picks up where I left off to inquire how we can inspire a critical mass to live and act in coherence with shared values beyond politics and “tribal identity.” 

We’re all on a shared journey through these incarnations, and I don’t believe the individual self will disappear because of an alignment with a unifying worldview. Quite the opposite will take place. The closer we are to divine truth, the more options we have to become the highest version of our true self. As an individual, we are also a creator, acting in a way that is a fractal of the creation of the universe at the heart of the Implicate Order. Our capacity for divine creativity manifests as individual will, that we can ultimately use for cohesion or chaos, depending on the thoughts and actions we choose. 

Humanity’s inhumanity to itself is likely unparalleled by any other species. And yet, our story is also of extraordinary creativity, ingenuity and kindness. In this precarious point in humanity, how can we shift the scales toward collective thriving when we occupy such opposing states of consciousness?

This is the kind of populism that represents the emergent norm of our highest human values, representing the altruistic nature of our species at its best.
