Recognizing our Inner Split-Its Effect on Organizations

Recognizing our Inner Split-Its Effect on Organizations

SAMSUNG

The relationship between our soul and body-mind reveals our inner split. Its different manifestations reverberate through the ‘being’ of our organizations.

 

Our soul manifests into the physical realm through our body-mind. This process of incarnation automatically generates a split between our soul and what we end up doing in this life— a split between our spiritual nature and what actually happens day-to-day through our body-mind.

 

In a previous article we discovered how this split is an amazing tool for our soul to recycle, explore, integrate and grow. We learned how this process enables us to reach our greater potential.

In this article, we name the purpose of our inner split. We start on the personal level and then extend our insights to our organizations, and discover how the ‘being’ of an organization is affected by each of its members.

 

What is the purpose of the inner split?

We define our body-mind as the whole of our physical body and our mind. Our mind is the part of us that reasons, thinks, feels, wills, perceives, judges and experiences. All these aspects are vibrations in an energy field that surrounds and permeates our physical body.

More then fifty trillion cells compose our physical body. Within each cell, we can access the Universal energy field. Our physical body has a structure that constantly adapts itself in order to allow the life force to move through it. This life force is the energy coming from the Source, from the field of endless possibilities.

Through our physical body, this life force is transported by our nerve cells as electricity, collected in plexuses and travels towards our brain, our heart and our different organs and back to each of our cells. This electricity has a limit to how far it can extend. When we want additional pathways and more charge, it takes time for our physical body. The amount of electrical activity is reflected in the strength of our energy field (Physics and Reality ¾ A Map for Human Potential. Part 2).

Too much charge can easily give rise to disease processes. Those can be physical, mental, emotional, or spiritual.

We need a gradual process of alignment, of incarnation, in order to allow our body-mind to adapt to the high vibrations of our soul.

The two morphogenetic fields gently and slowly need to align and the body-mind adjusts.

How does this inner split reverberate through our organizations? We answer this question through simple lines representing the morphogenetic fields of our soul and body-mind. How are they in relation to, or ‘with’, each other?

  • Two lines standing aside
  • Two lines facing each other
  • Two intertwined lines
  • One line

 

Two lines standing aside

There is a split between our soul and body-mind, which is illustrated as

two lines drawn standing side by side (ll). It feels like the split between science and spirituality, which our friend René Descartes (a French Philosopher, Mathematician and Writer who lived from 1596 till 1650) helped to re-establish. This split has in fact always existed and has to exist. Whatever happens is useful, even if that is on the cosmic level.

In this version of ‘with-ness’, our soul and our body-mind walk beside one another along the path.

Only one of them is visible, the other one is in the shadow, invisible, unconscious. When you have a huge split between your spiritual nature (your soul) and your body-mind, this can express itself at both ends of the spectrum.

When only the spiritual side is visible, there is ignorance of what is happening in the body-mind. There is no responsibility for thoughts, feelings or actions. A great deal is for the so-called higher good, which also can be war, torture, neglect, rejection, and repression.

At the other end of the spectrum, the body-mind is perceived as the only objective visible aspect, and the spiritual underlying nature is hidden, invisible. You are split from your soul.

You feel at the mercy of fate and life’s circumstances.

Both ends of this split create a variety of specific splits. How they take form will differ for each of us—possibilities are between our mind and body, work and play, men and women, spirit and matter, discipline and desire, body and soul, payment and gift, nature and technology, life and art.

How does this split affect our current organizations? Oftentimes, many members of an organization live their own reality, which has nothing to do with the realities of the other members. A huge complex of realities unfolds. Numerous major and minor splits occur and interact with each other. Many of our current structures are a result of these splits: our hierarchical top-down management, the discernment of important and less important work, our money establishment, and many more.

 

Two lines facing each other

The second perspective of the split emerges again by two lines drawn side by side, only this time they face each other. This form of ‘with’ describes the kind of ‘with-ness’ that comes from taking the time to get to know each other a bit better. Our soul tries to understand our body-mind, accept the body-mind as an amazing partner in this human reality. In order to achieve this, we need the power of intention. As if the soul says to the body-mind: “I understand you, I get where you are coming from, I’m with you.” We begin to walk on a path where we see our body-mind as a companion. There is at the same time an alignment within the body-mind. The thoughts, emotions and actions are met from within the body. We discover a deeper meaning in what is happening; we reach a deeper layer of ourselves.

This is still new territory, we explore, and we begin to see new perspectives that for a long time have not been visible to us.

Let us return to our organization. This would be the time we create meetings where we deeply listen to each other. We consider each voice, even the whispers, valuable for the bigger whole.

 

Two intertwined lines

The third perspective of how our soul relates with our body-mind are two lines twined around each other. It describes the sort of ‘with-ness’ that is really allowing our soul to live through our body-mind. To be ‘with’ each other. There is a mutual responsibility for each other, our body-mind and our soul. Our soul takes responsibility by seeing and accepting what is happening—by being embodied. The soul holds the body-mind with huge acceptance and love.

Our body-mind takes responsibility for being a safe container for the soul. Taking care of what we eat, drink, do and not do.

This reverberates through our organizations. We create a ‘we, the people’. We allow self-organization to unfold within the being of our organization. We realize that every member has essence to contribute and has uniqueness. ‘We, the people’ sees faults and issues as opportunities. ‘We, the people’ takes one hundred percent responsibility for what is happening around our organizations and within our organizations.

 

One line

In the fourth perspective, the ‘with’ is that most evolved state, illustrated by a single line. There is no longer a split.

This is the one that describes the true connection, where body-mind and soul are completely aligned. Source moves through each of our cells, whatever morphogenetic field we engage with comes from this state of Unity, which is health on all the levels.

There is complete trust that the Universe holds us.

There are no longer splits, work is play and play is work, life is art and art is life, nature dances with technology, and there is an embodied spirituality.

Our organizations become ‘beings’ composed of all the different members. New yet unknown structures emerge; there is an ongoing connectedness to source that refreshes and renews. We effortlessly find new solutions for old problems. We realize that each job within the organization is equally valuable and needed for the bigger whole. We know that each member can inspire the whole. The ‘being’ of our organization heals and is healed, teaches and is taught, breathes and is breathed.

 

 

Conclusion

Recognizing this huge inner split between our soul and body-mind, allows us to acknowledge that the various splits that emerge from there affect our personal lives and reverberate through our organizations.

This one split holds the possibility of many more splits, in many different forms and gradations. When we address that one split, all the others appear to vanish, become an illusion….

We are all mixtures, manifesting different types of splits depending on the situation and the alignments between our body-mind and soul.

Likewise, so will the ‘beings’ of our organizations be continuously changing mixtures. They make those splits real and at the same time, they offer a huge entry into more harmony, love, play, fun, and more.

The entry is the conscious creation of more alignment between our soul and our precious body-mind.

The next article describes how to facilitate groups to operate at the highest level of competence by applying ‘Guest House Facilitation’.

Physics and Reality – A Map for Human Potential Part 1

 

photo part 1 physicsHow can Quantum Physics affect our daily life? Author Veerle De Bock explores ‘the field of endless possibilities’ that surrounds us and permeates our bodies.

Physics is a map that can assist us as we navigate through our lives; delivering us insight and understanding into our fascinating life in this physical body. This map helps us become aware of our astonishing potential and the endless possibilities that exist in the ‘energy soup’ that surrounds us.

In this 3-part series, we will examine the different sequences (or categories) of this map and how they relate to our daily life.

  • In part one we will look at quantum physics
  • In part two we will explore electromagnetism, Newtonian mechanics and gravity.
  • Finally, part three will explain how magic resides in the connection between Quantum Physics and Classical Physics.

I invite you to embark with me on this fascinating journey as we ask, what is Quantum Physics? How can the different definitions within Quantum Physics affect your potential in your daily life?

The interesting sequence of Quantum Physics

Nobel prize-winning physicists know, beyond doubt, that our physical world is one large soup of energy, which is organized in a specific way.

In the world of quantum physics, nothing is solid. Creation in the Universe happens continuously through flashes of energy that come in and out of being in milliseconds.

In order to understand the sequence of quantum physics, we define the Zero Point Field (see the work of Steven Hawking), the Quantum Hologram and Quantum Superposition (see the work of Edgar Mitchell) and Morphogenetic Fields (see the work of Rupert Sheldrake) and, look at the inter-relationship between them.

The Universe, a field of endless possibilities

The Zero Point Field is the almost unlimited, ubiquitous energy source (or essence) that permeates and sustains all matter and all living beings – it is everywhere.

This amazing Field points to our interconnectedness – to how everything in the Universe is linked.

In spiritual terms, the Zero Point Field is often called ‘the field of endless possibilities’ and is considered to be the source of all our ideas and dreams as well as the essence of who we are. Nature is an ongoing resource that allows us to experience the endless possibilities that lie outside of us in our daily life. There are many examples. You can perceive them through simply gazing into a cloud-filled sky, through connecting deeply with a tree, through sensing the mountains or perceiving even a single flower.

This Zero Point Field is also present inside of us, at our heart. An easy way to connect with it is through our core qualities – those qualities that define who ‘you’ are (empathy, love, integrity, intelligence, purity, endurance, clarity, etc.). Our core qualities are our ‘essence’, the same essence that makes up the field of endless possibilities.

Essence relates to our potential. As spiritual beings (or souls) that incarnate to the human realm in order to experience and progress on a personal path while also offering something to the world, we engage with the Zero Point Field, both internally and externally in order to perform our tasks.

Information Storage

Within the Zero Point Field resides the Quantum Hologram – where all the information present in the Universe is stored. No experience, story or emotion is ever lost in the Universe; all the information related to any of our experiences is carried forward within the Quantum Hologram.

Holograms store three-dimensional images of information using interference patterns that occur between the waves emitted by two particles. This explains how there is a fluidity in the Universe – nothing is solid.

This fluidity makes sense of the different time relationship that exists at a quantum level. The hologram not only contains what has already happened, but also everything that will emerge in the future. This is a fascinating idea, because it offers us the possibility of making another choice; to change what is happening and to access the field of endless possibilities.

What is the practicality of this knowledge? How can a Quantum Hologram affect our daily life? Our soul has this amazing Quantum Hologram at its disposal to help it achieve its task on Earth.

If our life task mainly involves finding safety within ourselves then the Quantum Hologram will provide us with many different stories, emotions and events that all are related to safety. Someone shares a story with us that describes harsh circumstances and, suddenly we perceive anxiety about something that happened to us, an accident resulting in physical injury that could unfold.

You can read more about how the Quantum Hologram relates to the smallest events in our lives in my earlier article, Whatever Happens is Useful.

Different Available Realities

While the Quantum Hologram contains all that has ever happened and is yet to happen in the Universe, Quantum Superposition is the phenomenon that organizes all these available realities. These Superpositions contain every possible version of existence and history. They explain how, the moment we give our attention to one possibility (or Superposition), all the other possibilities collapse, thus becoming temporarily unavailable. So, when you give your attention to a specific story from your past that is stored in the Quantum Hologram, that Superposition becomes your reality – you live your life ‘now’ as if the story is happening ‘now’.

Here’s an example. On a recent trip to Zimbabwe, I arrived at the airport in Harare to find that there was nobody there to pick me up. I perceived anxiety. I had never been to Zimbabwe before and I was completely alone with nobody to take care of me. In that moment, I gave my attention to an old story from my childhood in which I was too young to care for myself, I felt alone and unsafe. Life was harsh. This reality became mine as I stood in Harare airport wondering what to do.

Slowly, I became aware, I breathed deeply in and out and gently let go of my old story.

My friend Maaianne was supposed to be at the airport to pick me up and unfortunately, we hadn’t exchanged cell phone numbers. I continued breathing deeply in and out and, as I relaxed, I remembered that Maaianne’s cell phone number was at the end of all her emails. As I tried to make contact with her I started to enjoy the warmth and the bustle of the people around me and I began to feel safe within myself. At that moment I didn’t know which reality would become mine – I was open to several possibilities.

At that moment, my reality was not yet organized; this brings me to another phenomenon in Quantum Physics.

Organizing Principles

The various available realities are closely related to the existence of Morphogenetic Fields – underlying energy fields within the larger Field of Endless Possibilities that act as organizing principles, giving form to various levels of reality.

For example, each disease process has its own Morphogenetic Field that gives it its form in the physical body. 

And let us stretch this concept a bit further. You and I also have our own Morphogenetic Fields which give form to our own personal individuality – to that which makes us uniquely ‘us’. Our personal Morphogenetic Field contains our soul, with its unique purpose that gives rise to our intentions for this specific incarnation. Within our Morphogenetic Field we make use of all the available realities to create an actual reality for ourselves in this moment using the stories, emotions and experiences from the Quantum Hologram.

Conclusion

Quantum Physics is a fascinating way to access your potential. In order to make sense of what is happening to you and around you, to understand who ‘you’ are and your unique mission on Earth, your soul acts through Quantum Physics.

This amazing field of endless possibilities is an ongoing resource to constantly renew and redefine yourself. It offers you hope for the future, not a hope based on old beliefs and patterns but a hope for new, as yet unknown, possibilities or realities.

Quantum Physics shows us that the world is not the hard and unchangeable place it may appear to be. Instead, it is a very fluid place, continually creating, using essence from the field of endless possibilities.

So fascinating!

In my book, Becoming What is Changing: Exposition, you can explore more about our human potential.

I hope I have conveyed to you the beauty and excitement of experiencing Quantum Physics in your daily life.

Part 2 of this article series will explore how Classical Physics relates to our physical body and to our personality.

All your comments are amazing energy flashes and are very welcome.
