III of III: The End of the Nation State

It is time for the end of nation states and it is time to recognize each being as a unique expression of the whole. Being from Jewish descent, it is interesting for me to consider the definition of the word Hebrew, which means “border crosser.” Border Crosser is a biblical definition of the Hebrew people. Hebrew was meant to represent being the guest in whatever land they were settled. They were meant to hold the message of this next stage of development of the human race. Hebrews are the thread through time of the possibility of living from a more highly integrated consciousness that recognizes the god consciousness of all things. There is a great leap from this spiritual purpose to an assumed identity of a ‘nation-state’ that divides itself against others and then feels it must generate war (get them before they get us).

The conflict in Israel with the Palestinians will never be resolved until we humans learn to think from another place—from the heart that is capable of perceiving the underlying unity in the appearance of surface differences. For that to happen, we will have to recognize that we all are ‘border crossers,’ for this planet is in fact, round and connected. Borders and walls are a figment of a contracted, fear-infected imagination; an archaic mode of thinking that has not registered the incredible capacity our human race has to create a Shambhala, a Garden of Eden, a Paradise Found—if we would but remove the veil from our eyes and live from the living truth of the abundant interconnectedness of all being, the true nature of our planet Earth.
