Post No. 010 - Six degrees of psychic separation


There have been a few tests of this concept (which I think you can find explained at Wikipedia [see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Six_degrees_of_separation]). In my words, the idea is that you know someone, who knows someone else, who knows someone else, etc until you can get to almost anyone in the world. The way this has been tested (that I have heard of) is by asking a person in one country to get a parcel to someone else in another country. I think when it has been tried, a reasonably significant percentage of the parcels have turned up

I consider that a similar principle applies to psychic interconnectedness: we are all connected, by things like past life links (see my workshop notes) and the fact that someone we are connected to is connected to someone else who is connected to someone else, etc; so whatever energy we radiate out will have an indirect influence on others – even world leaders.

To turn that round, if you don’t like something a world or national leader is doing, you have the possibility of having an influence – small though it may be – on that person. In particular, I consider that if you aren’t prepared to change your ways of living and behaviour (remember the saying [I think by Gandhi] “be the change you want to see”?) to eradicate from yourself and your life whatever it is you don’t want to see, you are behaving with a serious degree of hypocrisy and do not deserve to see any improvement. To use an example, if you cheat on your taxes, you have no right to expect your leaders to be beyond corruption – and, in fact, your energy will contribute to that happening.

This sort of effect is most often discussed in terms of lightening people’s lives having a positive effect on the world - i.e., radiate peace, love and joy and eventually that will come back to you as others are lifted by your peace, love and joy and affect others who then also start to radiate peace, love and joy. I consider the same applies to taking a compassionate, responsible and humanitarian attitude to world events. So ... if you want world leaders to be more honest when discussing motives for wars, be more honest yourself and gently encourage others to do likewise.

I consider it is possible to use ritual work to enhance this effect, and plan one day to start a group with that aim (to be called the “Grove of Gyhldeptis” – watch for more news).
