R4B Mastery: Creating a Tipping Point
...by using energetic meditative practices to share an open hopeful heart
The dharma wanderer’s family background in “old school” print journalism drives his widespread information sharing. These info shares are augmented by two other developmental factors: training of graduate students in clinical psychology in the1970s and the current intention to share the dharma from direct experience. With that as background, the piece today is short and clear, offering a Rx for the development of a tipping point for a better future.
The dharma wanderer’s multiple information sharing networks include one of close attorney friends. The retired political anthropologist, James Greenberg, writes insightful informative posts with a helicpter view from 30,000 feet about political forces operating currently. He brings both a historical and a global perspective to his clear accessible writing.
This IB Reflections post 👇 shares an email exchange with an attorney friend who has a sensitive view of US history. The dharma wanderer’s prescriptive suggestion to his friend repeats a practice shared in earlier posts —> how to access and share an open hearted vibe.
This substack post, however, goes several steps beyond that suggestion. It clarifies the energetic vibratory process that might bring about a better future.
[1] The exchange began with the sharing of Greenberg’s post about the MAGA movement: “The movement’s affective power comes from its ability to fuse racial grievance with outlaw mythology, casting federal institutions not as protectors but as occupiers.”
[2] His friend replied: “Thanks for sharing Greenberg's article. He is right on point; we're still fighting the Civil War.
It was only the occupation of the South by Union troops during Grant's presidency that allowed Black folks to exercise their rights freely. Before Grant, Black folks and white Republicans in the post-Civil War South were being terrorized and murdered by roving militias of former Confederate soldiers and the KKK. Grant effectively used the occupying Union army to crush the KKK and the renegade militias in the early 1870s. So, of course, the South has viewed the federal government as occupiers destroying their "way of life," i.e., White Supremacy.
It's not a coincidence that the establishment of the Jim Crow laws in the South and the reassertion of White Supremacy coincided with the removal of the Union army from the South in 1877, i.e., at the end of Grant's presidency. It's also not a coincidence that the creation of monuments in the South extolling the Confederacy only started in the late 1870s and early 1880s, in conjunction with Jim Crow. This was part and parcel of the campaign to reestablish White Supremacy in the South and the fight by disaffected Whites against being "displaced" in society by freed Black folk; the genesis of "replacement theory."
This cycle was repeated in the 1960s with the Civil Rights movement, the passage of The Civil Rights Act and the use of the National Guard to enforce the rights of Black folks in the South. MAGA has simply leaned into this history of grievance by Whites, including the resurrection of replacement theory.
I find it incredibly sad that we find ourselves once again in this struggle against White Supremacy and am unsure how we break this cycle. I look forward to your wisdom in this regard.
Hope you and YL are doing well in these trying times.
[3] Dharma wanderer’s reply: Thanks for the clear history lesson. The only wisdom I might offer does not come from me, but rather from ancient spiritual disciplines that promote the sharing of an open hearted vibe outside the body, radiating further out.
Rx: Inhale light and exhale heart, both are vibratory.
Recall an image, experience or feeling with a pet or human being in a memorable moment that your heart was wide open. At that point you have the potential to radiate love. It is a powerful vibration.
The more we can radiate authentic love from our hearts out out out into the multiverse, there is a greater possibility of a shift. A tipping point that may arise. As our vibe radiates outward, that vibe may transmute by stimulating resonating thought forms among an ever increasing number of beings. Those resonant thought forms can be transmuted into intention and intention transmuted into powerful compassionate actions. The variety of actions can contribute to the necessary tipping point(s) or so we might hope, pray and intend.
Commentary:
The emerging view from the scientific community is that we do not live within a solid immutable material universe. Instead, we are surrounded by a quantum field of probabilities, entangled in a vibratory multiverse of energies emanating from billions of beings. The causes and conditions that are arising come from powerful intentions driven by greed, avarice, revenge and attachment to materiality.
The quantum paradigm offers a countervailing view for the dissolution of these harmful selfish intentions. This paradigm does not involve bending the knee, fearful retreat, or psychologically helpless submission. Instead, meditative coherence suggests an alternative path, spawned by the dharma and refined by master practitioners for multiple millenia.
The resonant vibe of millions of meditators with open hearts, compassionate intention and wise action proclaims a hidden underlying dharma. Invisible intention can be projected energetically into an unfolding reality. Unexpected opportunities will arise for those beings who have trained their awareness to detect hints, clues, signs and signals. Awareness benefits from trust in primordial wisdom that is everpresent, awaiting its call.
“Ask and it shall be given. Seek and it will be found.”
Persistent diligent commitment to energetic practices will yield unexpected beneficial results.
May all who read this post commit to cultivating their energetic projection of an open heart. May they remain ever vigilant for the detection of hints, clues, signs and signals that reveal opportunities for wise energetic action. May their meditative practices continue to mature and ripen for the benefit of all beings and the world.
