Changing my Vote on Change | Steve Beckow



By Steve Beckow, January 25, 2023

(Golden Age of Gaia)

The movie, Unsinkable, which had a free showing recently, was a toolbox of approaches to core issues – what I call vasanas – the karmic seeds of future action. (1)

I noticed one place where our approaches differ. Unsinkable would have us change our thought patterns. I’ve only dabbled with that approach recently.

Previously my bias was towards simply observing – giving neutral and free awareness to something, and alllowing it to pass at its own timing, knowing that awareness dissolves.

Admittedly that approach is a bit slow in a time of crisis – such as the present one, for instance.

I believe the rising love energies will take our vasanas from us like wind takes snow chips off a car’s hood. But I live in this body day to day and, living at that pace, I don’t see, I cannot observe a process like that. I’d have to rely on celestial or galactic testimony on that one.

In my former view, change caused persistence, to quote Werner Erhard. Because we make superficial changes – rather than deep transformation and transmutation – the causal situation itself doesn’t disappear; it persists.

The way I put it some years ago is that there is a deep place in us, below the vasana, where we can change our vote on an issue and the change will be effective. Above that place, towards the surface, our action doesn’t really take hold or work. Our change of vote hasn’t reached all levels; it hasn’t been decisive, determinative.

Such a change of vote occurred with me a few years back when I changed my vote from going further as the troll under the bridge or committing to the divine qualities and stopping the negative behavior.

I reached that deep, deep level with that decision – to abandon negativity and to commit, not to temporal pleasures and pursuits instead, but to the divine qualities themselves.

As Unsinkable said, my life changed on that day.

I was no longer feeding myself a steady diet of anger, disappointment, and loneliness. I was now feeding myself a steady diet of love. Up from my heart on the inbreath and swirling around my self, I was loving myself.

Who else did I think would do that task for me? And why? My journey is my journey. I make it in your company but I also make it alone.

So change comes at a very deep level and not from a superficial commitment. If we want to talk about change and welcome it into our toolbox, it has to be with this rider, that the change of vote occurs so deep down that we feel and know that the shift has occurred.

Not just a good act, but an actual shift.
