Much of the evolution of human consciousness has been driven by the need to escape suffering.
A lot of this has to do with the idea that we need to find a final solution to any one particular problem. For example, if I make x amount of money then I can buy a house, or if I get a promotion then everything will be okay. Perhaps it will, but only to a point.
The primary driver of human behavior has been the idea that there’s something wrong from which we need to escape. Fear, a sense of limit in the world and pushing back against this uncomfortable feeling has really defined this state of consciousness.
Enter the Game Changer: people no longer want to live and work this way. We now have a subtle intuition that perhaps there’s another way.
It’s only through an awareness that we can begin to ‘rewire’ our predominant ways of thinking and behaving that have taken us thus far.
At the heart of it lies a deep awareness that we’ve been pushing back for most of our lives in order to get stuff done. This is because the very logic of the systems that we’ve created reflect this particular mindset: systems built on fear, scarcity, limit and resistance or control.
As soon as we realize we’ve been playing the role of the victim all along in our current modes of production, there’s a deep relaxation of the fear and anxiety that’s consumed large chunks of our being.
The sooner we can learn to observe ourselves playing the role of the victim, the sooner we can learn to relax the need to control, the sooner we can start utilizing our skills and talents, playing to our passions and making a difference, as opposed to just business as usual.
