Breaking the illusion that the form of matter determines your life
and that you have no influence whatsoever on that form

In the evolutionary transition from 'living as if you are separate from others', to 'living in alignment with others and life as a whole', a number of steps can be recognized.

An important step in this process is breaking the illusion that matter rules your life and that you have no influence on the form that matter takes. During this process you come to see that the form that matter takes is related to who you are and that your choices affect that form.

The picture below shows a symbolic representation of this step in the transformation process.

Explanation:

The cube represents formed matter and the circle represents consciousness.
Matter and consciousness are the 2 basic elements of conscious life.

Picture left:
The circle in the cube represents your consciousness that is limited by the shape of the matter around you. Shaped matter limits your room to move.

Picture right:
The cube is in the circle. Your movement is no longer limited by the form of matter. The form of matter is related to who you are and what role you fulfill in life as a whole. As a result, matter moves along with the life you live.
This matter can take multiple forms, in alignment with others and life as a whole. However, only one of these can manifest itself at any given moment in time. That one option depends, among other things, on your personal preferences.

Middle image:
An open cube. It stands for the process that allows you to understand the mechanisms that led you to believe that the form of matter determined your life. This allows you to open the form (symbolically), allowing your consciousness to expand. You get a different view of the matter in your life and you can deal with it in a different way.
The cross represents suffering, which is a consequence of the idea that matter determines your life. But it also stands for sharing your gifts with the world with open arms and receiving the gifts of others.

The illusion that matter rules your life

The idea that matter rules your life is understandable. Because when you are born, particles of matter naturally form around you. Your body is being formed. And the matter formed in the environment in which you are born has also arisen without you having had any influence on it. At the beginning of your life you are dependent on the form that matter has taken on for the quality of your life and how you want to live your life.
It is therefore logical that you think that you are dependent on how matter forms around you.

Destruction is a natural part of the creation process

The matter with which your life is formed is constantly changing its form. This allows you to grow and develop yourself. To make these changes possible, the old forms have to be broken open or even broken down to make room for new matter to be formed.
Destruction of formed matter, to allow growth and development, is a natural part of the creation process.

Usually these changes in shape are gradual, without you noticing much. But sometimes there are major changes in your life and living environment that have a huge impact on your experience. They come suddenly, are unpredictable and are accompanied by a lot of power and violence. This usually involves very dense layers of matter that have been built up over a long period of time. In order to break through that, a lot of pressure must first be built up. Think of volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, tsunamis.
Such major changes are often accompanied by destruction of habitats and lives. That's why they're traumatic to deal with. It´s no wonder that major floods which wipe out entire civilizations are in our collective subconscious.
The traumatic experiences caused by these major changes reinforce the illusion that matter determines the shape and quality of your life.

In the past, evolutionary transitions were always accompanied by such major changes and therefore often resulted in a traumatized humanity.
However, traumatic experiences present in the collective or individual subconscious have a negative effect on creating the new phase of evolution. It reinforces the illusion that you are dependent for the form and quality of your life on how the matter forms around you, while the new phase requires us to make choices based on sovereignty with which we can positively influence the form and thus the quality of our individual and collective life.
As humanity as a whole, we have now developed to such an extent that we can participate in the decision-making process with regard to the current evolutionary transition about how we want to shape that transition. This time we have opted for a gradual transition, so that the emergence of new traumatic experiences is prevented (as much as possible).

It is important that we come to understand that matter serves us and that we influence how matter forms around us. The next phase of evolution is about consciously shaping our lives, by manifesting the possibility of our preference from our individual and collective attuned possibilities.

Destruction of your life and living environment at the hands of others

Shortly after you are born you will also start to get the idea that you are dependent on other people. These people seem to have an influence on the form of matter. They determine the shape and thus the quality of certain matter in your life.

This reliance on matter and on others for the shape and quality of your life can be very frustrating. Especially if the shape and quality of your life doesn't match who you are and you can't change it because others determine your life.

As with breaking through thick layers of matter, frustration builds until there is an explosion. This allows you to make changes in your life. Or actually: through your explosive expression you succeed in getting others to make the change you want in your life for you.
You thus learn that by means of violence and destruction of lives, or the threat thereof, you can induce others to create the changes you want in your life.

You can see this way of forcing change in your life everywhere in our society.
From infants to leaders of nations, they all use this effective method that works by activating the survival instinct by threatening or actually destroying other people's lives.
When this approach is successful, it affirms for them and those they threaten the idea that they depend on others for the shape and quality of their lives. This way we all get stuck in the illusion of dependence that is only reinforced with every act of aggression.

Breaking the illusion of dependence

The illusion of dependence is a closed structure, which is self-perpetuating. How can you break through it?

The illusion of dependence has 3 interacting elements:

• unprocessed traumatic experiences with the destructive power of nature or fellow man.
• the feeling that you have no influence whatsoever on the form of the matter that shapes your body and your environment.
• the survival mechanism that is triggered by the threat of destruction and that determines for you how you respond to the threat.

The illusion is self-perpetuating and self-reinforcing, as each new threat resonates with the hidden memory of a similar traumatic event. As a result, the pain and accompanying emotions are felt again. The trauma remains an open wound.
The pain and emotions evoke fear of repetition. The fear then activates the defense mechanism, causing you to automatically respond in the way that worked best in the past.
The survival system becomes more active with each threat, constantly focusing your attention on strengthening your defenses against the threat. You see this happening in Europe now after Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Military strength is increased and countries are seeking security guarantees.
The people who are controlled by this illusion are no longer concerned with shaping their best possible life in alignment with others and life as a whole. They are just trying to survive.

This closed structure can be broken by processing the unprocessed traumatic events, healing the wounds, emptying your subconscious and incorporating the insights from traumatic experiences as applied wisdom into the life plans in your superconscious. In other words: bringing your life lessons from your subconscious (past) to your superconscious (future).
At the next threat you will no longer automatically react with fight, flight or surrender, because the defense mechanism is no longer automatically activated from your subconscious.
From an expanded consciousness you can then assess the situation and determine how best to act in this case based on the attuned life plans.
