Your Impact On The Consciousness
Of Humanity
by Wayne Dyer
Many years ago I was with
one of my daughters as she completed a lengthy program in the wilderness
to help her deal more effectively with some of her teenage dilemmas. The
last thing the counselor at the wilderness camp said to her was,
“Remember at all times that what you think and what you do affects other
people.” This is true even beyond the impact we have on our friends,
family, neighbors, and co-workers. I believe that we impact all of
humanity. Thus, as you read this, keep in mind that what you think and
do affects all other people.
In Power vs. Force, Dr.
David Hawkins writes: “In this interconnected universe, every
improvement we make in our private world improves the world at large for
everyone. We all float on the collective level of consciousness of
mankind, so that any increment we add comes back to us. We all add to
our common buoyancy by our efforts to benefit life. It is a scientific
fact that what is good for you is good for me.” Dr. Hawkins has backed
up his remarks and conclusions with 29 years of hard research, which I
invite you to examine if you’re so inclined. I’ll briefly summarize some
of these conclusions and how they relate to the impact you have on
others when you’re connected to intention.
In essence, every single
person as well as large groups of people can be calibrated for their
energy levels. Generally speaking, low-energy people cannot distinguish
truth from falsehood. They can be told how to think, whom to hate, whom
to kill; and they can be herded into a group-think mentality based on
such trivial details as what side of the river they were born on, what
their parents and their grandparents believed, the shape of their eyes,
and hundreds of other factors having to do with appearance and total
identification with their material world. Hawkins tells us that
approximately 87 percent of humanity calibrates at a collective energy
level that weakens them. The higher up the ladder of frequency
vibration, the fewer people there are in those high levels. The highest
levels are represented by the truly great persons who originated
spiritual patterns that multitudes have followed throughout the ages.
They’re associated with divinity, and they set in motion attractor
energy fields that influence all of humankind.
Just below the energy
level of pure enlightenment are the energy levels associated with the
experience designated as transcendence, self-realization or God
consciousness. Here’s where those who are called saintly reside. Just
below this level is the place of pure joy and the hallmark of this state
is compassion. Those who attain this level have more of a desire to use
their consciousness for the benefit of life itself rather than for
particular individuals.
Below these supremely high
levels, which few ever attain in a permanent way, are the levels of
unconditional love, kindness, acceptance of everyone, beauty
appreciation and on a more limited but nonetheless profound level, all
of the seven faces of intention. Below the levels of energy that
strengthen us are the low energy levels of anger, fear, grief, apathy,
guilt, hatred, judgment and shame – all of which weaken and impact us in
such a way as to inhibit our connection to the universal energy level of
intention.
What I’d like you to do
here is take a leap of faith with me, while I present a few of the
conclusions that Dr. Hawkins came to in his second book, called The Eye
of the I. Through his precise kinesiological testing for truth versus
falsehood, he’s calibrated the approximate number of people whose energy
is at or below the level that weakens. I’d like you to consider his
findings and conclusions relative to your impact on civilization. Dr.
Hawkins suggests that it’s crucial for each of us to be aware of the
significance of raising our frequency of vibration to the level where we
begin to match up with the energy of the universal Source or in other
words, make our connection to the power of intention.
One of the most
fascinating aspects of this line of research is the idea of
counterbalancing. High-energy people counterbalance the negative effect
of low-energy people. But it doesn’t happen on a one-to-one basis
because of that 87 percent of humanity that’s in the lower weakening
frequencies. One person connected to intention can have an enormous
impact on many people in the lower energy patterns. The higher up the
scale you move toward actually being the light of enlightenment and
knowing God consciousness, the more negatively vibrating energies you
can counterbalance. Here are some fascinating figures from Dr. Hawkins’s
research for you to contemplate as you review the impact you can have on
humanity simply by being on the higher rungs of the ladder to intention:
• One individual who lives
and vibrates to the energy of optimism and a willingness to be
nonjudgmental of others will counterbalance the negativity of 90,000
individuals who calibrate at the lower weakening levels.
• One individual who lives
and vibrates to the energy of pure love and reverence for all of life
will counterbalance the negativity of 750,000 individuals who calibrate
at the lower weakening levels.
• One individual who lives
and vibrates to the energy of illumination, bliss and infinite peace
will counterbalance the negativity of 10 million people who calibrate at
the lower weakening levels (approximately 22 such sages are alive
today).
• One individual who lives
and vibrates to the energy of grace, pure spirit beyond the body, in a
world of nonduality or complete oneness, will counterbalance the
negativity of 70 million people who calibrate at the lower weakening
levels (approximately 10 such sages are alive today).
Here are two compelling
statistics offered by Dr. Hawkins in his 29-year study on the hidden
determinants of human behavior:
1. One single avatar
living at the highest level of consciousness in this period of history
to whom the title Lord is appropriate, such as Lord Krishna, Lord Buddha
and Lord Jesus Christ, would counterbalance the collective negativity of
all of mankind in today’s world.
2. The negativity of the
entire human population would self-destruct were it not for the
counteracting effects of these higher energy fields.
The implications of these
figures are immense for discovering ways of improving human
consciousness and raising ourselves to the place where we match up with
the same energy of intention from which we were intended. By raising
your own frequency of vibration only slightly to a place where you
regularly practice kindness, love, and receptivity, and where you see
beauty and the endless potential of good in others as well as yourself,
you counterbalance 90,000 people somewhere on this planet who are living
in the low-energy levels of shame, anger, hatred, guilt, despair,
depression, and so on.
I can’t help thinking of
John F Kennedy’s handling of the Cuban missile crisis in the 1960s. He
was surrounded by advisors urging the use of nuclear bombs if necessary.
Yet his own energy and that of a few trusted colleagues who were steeped
in the potential for a peaceful resolution served to counterbalance the
vast majority of those who pushed for attack and bellicosity. One person
with very high spiritual energy can put the possibility of war into a
last-resort category. This is true in your own life. Bring the energy of
intention to the presence of conflict even in family matters and you can
nullify and convert the lower antagonistic energy with your presence.
I’ve done this in a
hostile setting where young people influenced by alcohol and drugs were
squaring off to fight while a crowd urged them on. On one occasion, I
simply walked between two potential combatants humming the song, “Surely
the Presence of God Is in This Place,” and that energy alone softened
the atmosphere, raising the level of energy to peace.
In another instance, I
approached a woman who was immersed in having an angry fit with her
toddler in a grocery store and screaming hateful epithets at the
two-year-old. I quietly moved into the energy field, said nothing, but
radiated my desire for a higher energy of love and it nullified the low
energy of hatred. Consider the importance of becoming aware of the
impact you have on others and remind yourself that by raising your own
energy level to a place where you’re in harmony with intention, you
become an instrument or a channel, of peace. This works everywhere, so
be a part of the counterbalance to the human negativity you encounter in
your life.
