What is it with the "sheeple" thing?

[bennett]

I have noticed here at Project Avalon the ubiquitous use of words like “sheeple”, “lemmings”, and others I don’t care to expend the energy to recall. In the midst of the tremendous positive energies here, these words make me uncomfortable. Observe the feelings that arise when you see them used, or use them yourself. I confess my own use and must say I don’t enjoy those feelings. They jar, they chafe, they smack of a disdainful arrogance, a patronizing sanctimony. We are better than this.

I do understand, from the perspective of linear thought, the utility of such words. They serve to identify certain “others”, not “us”. I might suggest a different way to identify these “others”, perhaps “fellow victims”? At least it omits the separative feeling by acknowledging our unity, and it does feel more compassionate. But, of course, I don’t suggest it. (The least reason being that victim consciousness invites further abuse.) Perhaps a better wordsmith among us, one more feeling-intuitive could come up with something better. But first we should ask ourselves, do “others” really exist”? Do such words belong here? Perhaps it would better serve us to dispense with the distinction altogether.

We consider ourselves among those on the leading edge of humanity’s shift in consciousness. We courageously take up our personal responsibilities to contribute to the divergence of our path from the downward spiral, this contrived separation of our link between Soul (Source) and it’s human extension (spirit in body). As pioneers of divergence to ascension, do we wisely carry along this divisive habit of “us-them” mentality? Does a wise leader permit his ego to place himself above those who follow, waste his energies on denigrating their position or condition on the same path he finds himself? Of course not. A wise leader focuses his intent and energies on achieving his goal while humbly serving to point the way with wisdom and compassion. Conversely, do we joyfully follow those who would diminish us? What might we expect if we do? What example, what state of consciousness does the leader present? I’m sure you see; this is all obvious.

By “chance” I recently found a passage that resonates in “Messages to the Ground Crew”:

“It is important that mankind’s affinity to personify to identify be released. Only then will the true freedom of consciousness to evolve be experienced into wisdom." (pg 21)

To me this says that “others” don’t exist, and we must release this habit of separating ourselves into groups. This also resonates with the Law of Allowance, extending true freedom to others so we might gain it ourselves.

Words like “sheeple” are not loving or kind. They are not intelligent or wise. I move that we strike them from our collective consciousness. There are no “sheeple”. There is only the collective “we”, each of us identical as (not in) the process of experiencing knowledge into wisdom, as a beautiful collective concert.

We are all together human extensions of the Source, which energy is love. We collectively and individually inhere in love. Let us consciously regain and maintain that connection to Source. May we all magnify and radiate the love that rises within.
