A group of us in Johannesburg met for a processing session this last Saturday and looked at some of the dynamics playing out in South Africa at the moment, and those that are "threats" on the horizon - there seems to be something in the collective consciousness about being tolerant over the World Cup soccer period, after which this will be put aside. We did a list of polarities and then a square on acceptance/intolerance of differences - this seems to be a global issue as well.

Interestingly the motto of SA is Unity in Diversity, which was our Ascended balanced state .

Here's the square:

Desire to be intolerant of differences

To feel superior, to protect myself and my group, to feel inferior and victimised, to keep the status quo, to make war with others, to assert my own will, to feel special, it makes me feel powerful and good, to be tyrannical, to humiliate others and make them feel small, to be in control, to create my own paradigm, to keep the bloodline pure, to simplify life, to be influential, to remain alienated from others, to feel comfortable with the familiar, to be a force to be reckoned with, to remain separate, to complain, to justify hatred, to justify beliefs, to justify inadequacies, to justify prejudices, to justify irresponsibility, to show allegiance to my tribe, so that I can be right and make others wrong, to bolster myself, my values and my ideologies, so that I won't have to change, so that I won't have to admit I'm wrong, being unique, to enforce my opinion or beliefs, to be top dog, to create a sendse of nobility and elitism, to be ignorant, to protect what is mine

Fear of being intolerant of differences

I will isolate myself and live in separation, I will be ostracised, have no connection with others, be despised, I might miss out on new concepts and different ways of doing things, fear of stagnating, people will hate me, it will cause conflict and start wars, fear of creating chaos, being inhumane, discriminating against others, being seen as a pariah, being seen as a tyrant, being angry and arrogant, being deluded, not being able to see the truth, I will never realise the Oneness, I will have to be on guard all the time - 24/7 (a pun on the security company!), I will attack violence into my life, fear of being seen as a racist and as narrow minded, vulnerable to attack, I may be killed for my beliefs, the stress of always being vulnerable and on edge, fear of freedom, I may create uncontrollable situations and incur financial costs as well, loss of family and friendships, fear of changing perspective, having to back down and humble myself  and be shamed

Desire to be accepting of differences

To live in harmony with others, to live peacefully, without fear, to create dignity, Unity in Diversity, to be forgiving, to be loved, to share, to learn & grow, to embrace change, for freedom, to create a win/win situation, to be able to breathe, to save the planet,  to celebrate life, to learn about others, to embrace other races, cultures and values,  to embrace the richness of diversity, to challenge my mindset, to go beyond my limitations, to realize my full potential, to engage with my creative spirit, to be open hearted, compassionate, kind, loving, stress-free, to have freedom of boundaries, to support & empower others, to inspire others, to take action, to be creative, to open up possibilities for miracles, to ascend in consciousness, for healing, to flow with life, to live in an abundant resourceful world, to live in a world of beauty, to create and support change and upliftment, to evolve spiritually, to pull in our projections and take responsibility

Fear of accepting our differences

Fear of losing my identity and becoming generic, fear of being swamped, losing my place in the hierarchy, losing my resources and my status quo in the world, fear of being wrong, losing my individuality, having to share, not enough to go round & so I will have less, having to admit defeat or failure, being overpowered by others, being a no-body, not good enough, fear of being worthless and of being annihilated, fear of death, fear of taking a fall, fear of exclusion, change, being ridiculed, I will become insecure, lost , confused, angry, never able to reach agreement or conclusion, I will become indoctrinated by others, fear of being judged, compartmentalised, I could lose friends and family, be seen as a traitor by my tribe, be victimised, seen as inferior, fear of having to face my own shadow
