We the Choir Gather and We Learn to Sing Together

[Steppingfeet]

One of the more profound and visionary books I've ever read from a human author, The More Beautiful World Our Hearts Know is Possible, contained this nugget which I shared with some friends recently: 

"We are social animals and need at least a little bit of affirmation. We cannot stay in a deviant* story by ourselves; in the face of a whole society that pulls us into the Story of Separation, we need allies. This book is meant to be such an ally. I hope that it will awaken or reinforce your understanding that you are not crazy after all, and that if anything it is the world that has gone insane.

You might say I am preaching to the choir. Yes. But as a member of the choir myself, I am grateful for the wonderful preachers whose words have kept me here, kept me believing. Without them I would have quit long ago and found a job greasing the wheels of the world-devouring Machine. That is also why conferences, retreats, and communities for alternative culture are so important. We hold each other in new beliefs. 'Yes, I see it too. You are not crazy.' We, the choir, gather, and we learn to sing together."

[*By "deviant," he is describing the "new and ancient Story of Interbeing" that is emerging on the planet, deviant as it is from the "Story of Separation" which has been humanity's operating software for some time.] 

What if anything does this stir in you?

While it can point to the belonging and personal reinforcement that membership in a group confers, a topic long studied, to me this dovetails with my narrative about the birth of fourth density.

Group thought can permit its members to become untethered from needed openness to and analysis of available evidence, but when the vision is of something transcendently beautiful, a reality where love is made visible, where love is the way of people, and when that vision is tender and difficult to hold by oneself, then the community, the choir, is the greatest ally.

I feel strongly that fourth density doesn’t so much happen to us as it happens through us. The more that we heal and open our hearts, the more space we make for the emergence of fourth density. And even more powerfully, the more that we connect and bond with each other in the open heart, the more we strengthen that grid that invites and holds the dawning of a reality of Love and Understanding.

Thanks to all the lights on Bring4th doing the work of connecting self to other-self in the open heart.
