The Tipping Point

There is a curious reality that we find typically in humanity. There always appears to be as much negativity as positivity, as many people who move in one direction as those who move in the opposite direction. If you have 10% at one pole, you have 10% at the opposite pole. The remaining 80% are between the two. This principle is graphed as a bell curve and is found typically in every situation where you have a sufficiently large survey.

Every human being has within them a stronger pull toward the positive than toward the negative because the positive is based in the soul and the negative in the personality, and the soul eventually triumphs over the personality. So what happens then is that when the positive energy gets up to about 20% of the total a big shift occurs. This is called the ‘tipping point’. One implication is that when 20% of humanity has developed soul consciousness, all of humanity will be swept along in this change. It also suggests that if we want to change a personality attitude within ourselves we can do so through increasing the soul perspective through sufficient repetition and emphasis.

This principle does not only apply to positive and negative reality, but actually to any changes that occur, including within ourselves as individuals. Epidemics occur this way as well as social changes. So too with our own consciousness and our own psychology through the accumulation of thoughts, the words that we express, and the feelings that we have. If we are relatively consistent in terms of creating a majority of words, thoughts and feelings that focus on some new creation, then that new creation will inevitably result.

The changes that occur in life never happen suddenly without cause. There is always a gradual building up of the energies for change but often we do not recognize them. They happen out of an accumulation of things. This has also been called the ‘hundredth monkey effect.’

We on the soul journey are part of the growing 20%. We are that part of humanity that is developing a new type of consciousness that embraces soul as our primary identity. We would not be doing this at this point in history if there were not two factors present: One is that we are now capable of making this profound change in consciousness. And the other factor is something we don’t understand. It is the Divine Presence in its cycles of manifestation requiring this new expression at this time. So there is something operating from deep within us which is totally universal, which we don’t understand, but which is actually the cause of it.

But nothing would be happening if we had not evolved to the point where we are capable of making these new choices and changes. People who are capable of making the choices for divinity, for the essential divine nature of life, are those people who know themselves well enough and who are capable of using their mind freely. This means not being controlled by their desire nature, and being able to make choices based on the ability to make distinctions between the quality of one thing and another. They recognize when something of superior quality is present and they choose that. Whenever we make a choice for greater quality we are actually developing soul consciousness. Because greater quality means that the divine is present in such a way that its presence is not being blocked as much.

Our individual work in developing soul consciousness is very significant. This is how we serve humanity in a way that can make big and necessary changes. Trying to change people’s behaviour when it is destructive has a very limited effect if any at all. However, when consciousness changes, thoughts change, feelings change and actions then necessarily and automatically change too. Eventually the tipping point is reached and a new consciousness prevails.
