ARE YOU PLAYING WITH OR SINKING IN THE OCEAN OF INFORMATION?

Compared with even 20 or 30 years ago, the general state of the world today is dense and intense. It is more active. People are busier than ever, and life moves faster than ever. It is also more pressured. With so much information exchanged on social media, the Internet, and television, a lot of people can get easily triggered and emotionally entangled with other people, things, and events. We are swimming in an ocean of information.

This predominant state is due to the general consciousness field of humanity. It is a field co-created by everyone, over time, together with the natural world.

The impact of this field becomes apparent when we look at teenagers. Relative to a generation or two earlier, they have a very different reference framework, growing up amidst this ocean of information. Their reference frameworks are much more open than before. And because they have access to much more content and many more people, they can develop greater and more differentiated abilities.

At the same time, there is tremendous conflict. Mental challenges like depression and anxiety are very prevalent — a consequence of disordered inner states and the lack of inner resources. For those who cannot rise above the swells of the busyness and pressure of the general field, they must have a strong ability to swim through the ocean — those who have specific gifts and skills. Otherwise, they can be overwhelmed, or drown.

This is the same, of course, for any of us at any age. If we cannot find ourselves, and if we do not know ourselves, we will have even greater blockages due to the amount of information.

As a whole, the general consciousness field of humanity has a lot of fear. In search of safety, we become more attached to material things. More anxiety and fear arise, and more fighting ensues.

How to Play In the Ocean, Instead of Sink?

We are each called to a great challenge: to learn to manage the immensity of information contained in this general consciousness field — to organize, clarify, and systematize it — by starting with our own energy and information.

1. Come to accept the level and state of the general consciousness field. It is simply how we have evolved together. Practice observing this state without judgment. Practice observing your own inner state without judgment.
2. See beyond. Recognize this as a special age for humanity, and a critical age. It holds both opportunity and peril. What is the unique opportunity for you?
3. Rise above. See the intensity of these times as a catalyst to rise to a higher level, to rise above the ocean of information. The sound practice of n̈ is a powerful method to immediately lift us above the information ocean. You can then go beyond the general human consciousness field to see the bigger picture.
4. Play. When you merge with the mingjue consciousness field, you can use information in a free state. The awakened consciousness field is not limited to mingjue practitioners; it is for all practitioners who go beyond the general consciousness field and merge their pure baby hearts with the same resonance. In this awakened field, consciousness chooses information and uses it as a tool to relate to others and the natural world, as well as to enhance the function of mingjue. This level of resonance also harmonizes the energy of the body to potentiate healing.

In summary, the master of life is consciousness, not the ocean of information. When we become the masters of our lives, we can play with the ocean of this special age!
