Rapport

An evolutionary development of rapport
Rapport develops as an evolutionary result of more and more beings encountering their natural state of One Life Awareness. Rapport is an experience of understanding and empathy for others, and facilitates communication. From our perspective, rapport occurs only when equanimity prevails.

​As challenging events unfold in the world, the development of rapport becomes necessary as a means of acknowledging the connectedness of all life. The realization that it will require all of you to contribute your unique perspective to ultimately overcome the political, economic, and climatic challenges ahead is also essential. Many of you want to turn and run, to hide from the challenges, as a result of feeling alone and powerless. Others of you are seeking change, yet have no sense of how to promote the change you seek. Yet we would say, inspiration, awareness, an awakening to One Life, leading to a realization of global rapport, is underway and you will recognize it as your deep knowing reveals this to you.

Your deep knowing, your instinctive intuitive center, may have had a hard time lately as it has been triggered by the non-specific collective anxiety that permeates your world. In the course of the development of global rapport, the anxiety felt by the displaced, the forgotten and all who have lost their way somehow, can penetrate any barrier you attempt to use as protection. At the same time, you can access all the greatest avatars, realized beings, and Bodhisattvas who exist on this planet right now, whose compassion and wisdom are always available to you. As empathic barriers dissolve, all of One Life, all the colors of the rainbow, can be experienced and understood as One Life unfolding as it must.

Become more aware of who you are and the nature of your influence and inspirational qualities. The world is not dividing into leaders and followers. Hierarchy is dissolving into holarchy and all of you are becoming sacred collaborators, equal aspects of One Life Awareness. Rapport is not developing just among your closest family members, or your community, or even the globe. It is the natural outcome of more and more beings, everywhere and anywhere becoming truly a part of each other, alive in the totality of All That Is.

In this process of developing rapport, you may feel as if you have several emotions, sometimes seeming contradictory, interwoven much of the time. This is actually an indication of non-attachment. Feeling one very singular emotion is usually the sign that you have determined, usually unconsciously, that emotion to be the “correct” one and most likely have an elaborate story convincing you to maintain that stance.

If you can stay open to many emotions simultaneously running their course through you, in your very open field of awareness, your experience and consciousness will remind you of your unlimited capacity to know that each moment is not only eternal, but also unlimited in its scope. After all, each moment is All That Is.

You will see many instructions for how to “build rapport” which include remembering to find common ground and shared experience, as well as to use good communication skills and be empathic. Those are good reminders but are unnecessary. Rapport is a natural human characteristic. It is a bit more like letting go of beliefs that have gotten in the way of this knowing and to simply continue relaxing into One Life Awareness than to attempt to “build” something.

So trust that Rapport effortlessly reveals itself to you. Have confidence that you are One Life, and All That Is unfolds before you in an unhindered and ultimately wonderful way. The evolutionary development of Rapport is naturally everywhere and in every moment. And in that moment, that magnificent moment, you are who you really are.
