"Break the Mold"

There is something in the air… and it’s always been there. =]
Let’s call it a “Natural Mystic” as Bob Marley sings it. We can connect with it, and from it we can inform our actions and thus numinously shape our life. In the process we may find our lives becoming more intertwined and connected with that of our greater community that is the entire world. Through our spiritual awakening we simultaneously expand in our awareness of the socio-economic and political structures which have a disempowering effect on the human spirit. We become less likely to adhere to socially accepted means of dominating each other and instead look to ways of freeing each other from the cleverly built intellectual framework of competition and power struggle that it is based upon. It is somewhat like a prison, this intellectual approach to the world which most of us have learned to adopt as a truth. It shuts us off from a more real inner reality that guides us at an archetypal level towards the healing and wholesome shaping of our outer reality. But for this to be possible, we must first “break the mold” which has been unconsciously built, in a haphazard and often detrimental manner.
Yesterday as I was writing this blog, I indulged in a delicious dove chocolate bar mini square, and the little message inside the foil wrapping informed the title of this post. It said “Break the mold”. But I think it is not so much that we need to break the mold, but more like we need to Allow the mold to break… and I have a feeling that my next post may be about how that happens.
