Why does the world seem smaller?

As we approach 2012, many theories exist about why the world appears to be getting smaller. Consider some of these reasons people offer to explain their perception of ongoing changes. What do you feel is happening? What additional perspective would you offer?

1) The Internet is expanding. 

2) People are awakening & aligning to core energy.

3) More people travel in mind, body and spirit.

4) The sun is heating up and eroding the Earth.

5) Communications & satellite tech bridge time & space 

6) The sense of universal oneness is growing.

7) Ego-based separateness is dissolving.

8) More people sense energy lines & the magnetic grid.

9) Water is rising and people are moving to higher ground.

10) Mind-based thinking is giving way to heart-centred living.

11) Consciousness is depening understanding of what we are.

12) Human beings are reverting back to interconnected beings.

13) Populations growth is skyrocketing.

14) The mind is reducing all perception to love or fear.

Communications are instantaneous and are far reaching around the globe. Our mind and our attention can easily be placed on any subject with the ability for an answer to be produced now. People are therefore learning to listen to others and therefore themselves and are beginning to see beneath the surface of their thoughts. The ego therefore is eroding, allowing for the mind to expand and for the heart to be exposed. Water or spirit is therefore rising, meaning that consciousness is broadening. As the internet goes in more directions and becomes a part of every moment of our lives, the mind expands proportionately. It is a metaphor and is in relationship to what is being processed in our minds or collective mind. New ideas pulls out the old roots to stiff attachments. Imagination is beginning to run free.

Therefore, the mind and the heart can be projected to any point in the universe or to other dimensions more easily. Since our minds are out there or deep within, the earth doesn't seem so big anymore. We no longer have to travel physically to feel the energy from another region of physical space.

Look at television. There is a new show called V that is starting in November. It is about the arrival and official exposure of aliens on planet earth. This expands the mind and makes earth seem small. Then there is stargate universe. In this show the mind is traveling outside the galaxy. The imagination is growing making the earth seem like a grain of sand. However, the stargates show that we are still connected to all regions.

When we align to core energy, we feel connected to everything around us. Therefore, we can feel free to utilize those connections for soul or spirit travel.

Some say the earth is vibrating higher. So the old heavier earth is eroding away as we speak. It too is traveling to a place where it is more connected.

As we no longer identify with the body as who we totally are, then we can see more easily beyond our immediate surroundings. The body no longer hinders our expansion.

Fear makes the world seem big and scary.
Love makes the world seem small and interconnected.
Love allows the heart to see that the earth is alive with a consciousness that knows how to feel. We can feel the earth from any point of view if we see from the Heart.

Bernie, these thoughtful reflections offer food for thought. Another perspective is that the world is not getting smaller. It does not exist. To move from mind-centred thinking to heart-centred feeling, an energy being rediscovers the only limits or parameters he places on perception begin and end within. Every belief and opinion is dissolving. Silence offers all the wisdom you require.

It certainly seems that awakening is spreading. What that really means is hard to say. Egos are tricky. There have been other times in history when there seemed to be a start. After Krishna, we had more rituals not more consciousness. After Buddha, not Buddhas but Buddhists. After Jesus, Christians not Christ-consciousness. It may be different this time.

Some of the things you listed, Liara, I wouldn't have thought of, so this was a great list of "reasons" to read. I also enjoyed seeing what Bernie had to say. I definitely feel as though my heart and mind have expanded tremendously in the last six months, even, and feel as though the world - even in theory - is "smaller." (More close-knit? More accessible?)
Thank you for presenting this topic on your blog!

Kaushik, as an energy being reconnects with the heart centre, that being senses a perspective that opens deeper realms of love. Faith, trust and inner sight offer expanding revelations. SOme people sense a fork in the road to consciousness. A person can choose a focus on love or fear and the experience unfolds accordingly.

Megan, expansion is happening in every energy being every moment, Everyone is becoming more conscious. You are welcome to offer additional ideas to build on this list. Everyone is helping everyone else awaken on more levels than you can discern with the human mind. Learn to move out of mind and out of body, and the limits dissolve to reveal what else there is. Share in the adventure!
