Introduction: Collective Consciousness and World Events
Have you ever looked at the state of the world and it pisses you off, asking yourself, “Is this truly how humanity thinks?” In a thought-provoking discussion guided by Aingeal Rose, the idea that the chaos, division, and darkness we witness in global events is not just external, but a reflection of our own collective consciousness, comes to the surface. Inspired by interviews with Penny Kelly and Gregg Braden’s insights into the ongoing battle between light and dark, the group explores how our thoughts, beliefs, and emotions might be shaping the world, and more crucially, how self-examination offers the path to meaningful change.
The Exercise: Journaling Our Triggers
The heart of the conversation began with a simple, yet profound, writing exercise. Aingeal Rose asked participants to write down current world events that deeply disturb or anger them—anything from political injustices to the mistreatment of innocents. The next step: honestly examining our own consciousness to trace these external triggers back to their roots within ourselves.
Are the energies of judgment, powerlessness, guilt, or anger that we see playing out on the world stage also present somewhere inside us? If entities and energy are born from our own consciousness, then confronting the darkness within may be the key to transforming what is ‘out there.’
Self-reflection and Uncovering Inner Themes
What unfolded was a rich tapestry of self-reflection. Aingeal Rose and participants such as Margaret, Kim, Frances, and Patrice bravely shared personal insights about world events:
- Powerlessness and Overwhelm: Both Aingeal Rose and Margaret identified a sense of helplessness, whether it stemmed from witnessing injustice or feeling unable to delegate and trust others. These feelings mirrored not just personal struggles, but the collective crisis of faith and unconditional love that permeates international relations.
- Judgment and Guilt: The discussion highlighted how guilt and harsh judgment feature both personally and globally. Aingeal Rose expressed difficulty letting go of guilt, especially when observing political figures like Donald Trump. The group noted how projection of guilt leads to broad condemnation of immigrants, minorities, or anyone deemed ‘other,’ and recognized the need to confront their own tendency toward judgment as a step toward healing.
- Anger and Absorption: Patrice shared how world events spark deep anger and anxiety, with reactions oscillating between wanting to see change and feeling unable to make a difference. Meanwhile, Kim emphasized the importance of staying in ‘observer mode’ rather than absorbing the negativity and despair, thus maintaining a ‘high frequency’ that empowers rather than weakens her ability to help.
Tools for Conscious Change: From Self-Love to Spiritual Practice
Throughout the dialogue, key tools for transforming world events were recommended:
- Self-love and Observer Mode: As Kim shared, “You can’t get sick enough to make someone better”—a powerful Abraham Hicks saying that underscores the futility of absorbing the world’s suffering.
- Daily Practice: The group reflected on spiritual teachings, including A Course in Miracles lesson: “I am not a victim of the world I see.” This practice asks us to examine both our inner and outer worlds dispassionately and recognize that our internal state is the true cause of what manifests externally.
- Courage and Frequencies: Choosing peace, gratitude, and love over retaliation and fear is highlighted as essential.
Kim referenced Gandhi’s legacy and the idea that as little as 15–20% of awakened consciousness can initiate profound change.
Empowerment and the Way Forward
This deep dive into the intersection of world events and our own consciousness leaves a lingering lesson: As disturbing as external chaos may be, the only lasting solution begins within. By facing our triggers, dismantling old energetic patterns, and nurturing love, trust, and discernment, we become agents of change in a world that desperately needs it.
So next time the news makes you want to scream or despair, remember, the power to transform isn’t only ‘out there,’ it’s in the very thoughts and frequency you choose to hold.
