Resistance Is Futile

One Life Tutorial for August 2020
Several months into the pandemic experience and like the BORG from Star Trek, the virus carries on as if “resistance is futile”.  If you have not come upon the Borg, it is a collective that announces the following when it encounters an alien race they intend to assimilate:

WE ARE THE BORG. LOWER YOUR SHIELDS AND SURRENDER YOUR SHIPS. WE WILL ADD YOUR BIOLOGICAL AND TECHNOLOGICAL DISTINCTIVENESS TO OUR OWN. YOUR CULTURE WILL ADAPT TO SERVICE US. RESISTANCE IS FUTILE.

There can seem to be some similarities between the virus and the Borg, they are of course, very different. In the case of the virus, it is clear that there are some strategies which can keep you from contracting the illness it carries. If you interact with too many people, (move too far outward) you will catch the virus. If you interact with the fewest number of people you can, (move inward) it is less likely that you will catch the virus. All of humanity is the carrier of the virus, and only humanity can stop the spread of the virus. Resisting catching the virus, therefore is not futile, especially if that resistance is comprised of moving inward, confronting who you are, and developing One Life Awareness.

While we have previously spoken about the power of contagion, (see tutorial April 2020), we have not yet spoken of the power of the collective. A collective is commonly understood to be a group of entities that share or are motivated by a common goal or objective that these entities are working to achieve.

If the objective of the virus as a collective is to find as many hosts as possible, then the virus will flourish in the outward thrust of human energy, and it will not thrive if all of you move inward. In practical terms, this means that if you insist on being out in the world, not protecting yourself from exposure to covid-19, you are likely to become a host for the virus. The point we wish to make is that this is all determined by you. You are not a victim to the power of the virus collective: being a victim is a story you write as an excuse to avoid the responsibility of protecting yourself. While it is natural to feel as of you are a victim from time to time, it is not necessary.

There is also the power of the human collective to consider. It seems obvious that humanity would wield far more power than the virus. So what is the objective of humanity? What is humanity trying to achieve? Humanity is trying to achieve a tipping point, a point where there are more who are not victims to the virus collective, who will not assimilate, but instead are collectively overwhelming the power of the virus by no longer supporting its need for hosts. And in the midst of that endeavor, the human collective is working to achieve an evolutionary stance, a position of true power on the planet. This is not the power of domination, but the collective power of true vision. This can only be accomplished by moving inward. Some may be aware of this motivation, some may not be aware of this motivation. Some are aligned with this motivation and therefore are contributing to it, others are resisting it. But the key here is to recognize that the power of true vision can only be realized by moving inward.

Moving inward means coming to grips with who you really are. While this has been said many times, we are saying it once again to make it clear that you are never finished with this mission. There is always more to self-discovery. And, now is the time to dive deep.

The enormous unrest prevalent in the US is the result of many years of outward movement and expansion. You have been acquiring more, doing more, creating more, in fact, “more” has been a major theme of life in the US and most of the world.
Now, “more” seems empty, and indeed it is. More stuff, more money, more accolades, even more love does not imbue the human collective with the power of true vision, although love could be a starting place. This does not mean that the theme should shift to “less.” It means that true vision is necessary as guidance for the unfolding of creation. True vision as the deep and abiding knowing of the Great Perfection of All That Is—One Life.

Resistance to the covid-19 virus is not futile, it is a necessary component of the current evolutionary spiral. Whenever an evolutionary leap for humanity is about to occur there is a struggle for power—there is a struggle to dominate the human collective in some way. The virus is the perfect antidote to the attempted power coup of the corporations and major institutions on the planet. This old paradigm of hierarchical organization, is losing the capacity to dominate the human collective. If the human collective does not succumb to these institutions which have been created precisely for domination, if the human collective instead realizes its incredible potential to manifest true vision, the whole planet will change. If enough of you move inward and remember how powerful you are when you are connected to each other, nothing will thwart the evolutionary leap, and the next iteration of human experience will be revealed.

​Know resistance is not futile--let your resistance to contracting the virus be your push to move inward. You can retrieve what has been hidden inside of you, you can reignite your true vision, and you can allow your dive into your inner worlds to become a contribution to the new creation, the new world, the new paradigm. It is a time of great potential. Maximize your participation by expanding your interaction with your inner worlds and thereby support the next step for humanity. We are One Life, that is all there is.
