Survival patterns maintain the status quo in an effort to keep things the same. These patterns are deeply programed in our unconscious and have brought us to where we are in the present.

Our world is in chaos. Fear is rampant. It has been evoked by our safety and security being threatened. Colossal change is happening around us and within us. The world as we knew it is rapidly disappearing and the chaos has evoked deeply engrained survival patterns to surface in their power to try to maintain order and minimize change. These survival patterns keep us stuck in survival consciousness, otherwise known as the patriarch.

Survival consciousness is:

The known

Contraction

The illusion of safety and security

Self-serving

Imbalance

Disease

 Degeneration

 Limited possibilities

Separation

Poverty consciousness (lack)

 Fear/anger/sadness

Ego centered.

 In order to create change we need to know what we want to create. As I listen to what women are saying, they desire a world that expresses creation consciousness, which is the opposite of survival consciousness.

Creation consciousness is:

The unknown

Expansion

Safety and security

Serving the whole

Balance

Health and wellbeing

Regeneration

Unlimited possibilities

Oneness

Prosperity consciousness (abundance)

Trust/love/joy

Heart centered.

As Gandhi so wisely said, “We need to be the change we want to see in the world.” In order to be that change we need to take our power back from the patterns that serve survival consciousness (ego) to make space for the new patterns that serve creation consciousness (heart). The change needs to come from within us and if we are committed to making change then we need to understand how those patterns express through us. 

“It is hard” is a prominent survival pattern.

This pattern is expressing very loudly at present. It may sound like this: 

It is hard to be so restricted.

It is hard to change. 

It is hard to work from home with my children at home. 

It is hard to find the time to shop as it takes so much time to stand in the line. 

It is hard to not be stressed.

Life is hard. 

This common pattern keeps us stuck in survival consciousness when we believe it is too hard to do what is required to free ourselves from it.

This pattern evokes frustration, anger, disempowerment, guilt, and shame, and many give up because it feels too hard. It is time to deconstruct this pattern as this is not a time to give up. This global transformation —which can otherwise be seen as the crumbling of the patriarch — is going to be challenging, but at the same time it holds endless opportunities for change and creating the new. We all have the opportunity to be part of this creation process. This requires awareness, raising our level of consciousness by taking our power back so we can transcend survival consciousness . We have all been wounded by the patriarch and now we are being called to heal these wounds. When we choose to heal ourselves, we are healing the whole.

I invite you to envision what you would like the new world being shaped by creation consciousness to look like. How do you want to show up in it? What is required to close the gap between where you are now and your vision?
