We are always seeding qualities for the evolution of humanity.

I’ve been thinking a lot about virtues: those personal qualities that I’ve developed and those that I need to develop further. This self-development is in service to my own self growth and life purpose, as well as what I consider a rich source of higher energetic vibrations that I can contribute to the collective at this transformational time.

When you look around, what virtues are observable in the world today – in our communities, businesses, and social and civic structures? Which virtues are we starving for? What do you feel is much needed as an infusion of just the right kind of energy to keep humanity moving in the most wise direction?

I’ve been playing with the equation that intelligence plus love leads to greater wisdom. Intelligence is a mental state of being, while love is the conditioning factor or emotional TONE that transforms mental energy into something new, into an aspirational quality of greater wisdom.

Of course, in this exploration I start with myself. What can I seed within myself that can birth the offspring of intentional energy of intelligence and love?

How about you? What wisdom do you believe yourself capable of nurturing and growing? What virtues we you can intentionally develop in order to better fulfill your life purpose and to experience more life satisfaction?

I’ve put together a chart of some of my thoughts around this. Of course, each virtue or quality is important to develop on its own. Yet, somehow organizing them this way points to one being able to grasp a Big Picture possibility or potential. Each person can use their own strengths and weaknesses in order to develop particular virtues in a focused way.

Would love to hear what  you think. There are no right answers or equations here, only what makes sense according to your life experience and to what aligns to how you want to show up in life. We tend to get so caught up in doing that we forget the hugely important BEING part of manifestation. Yet, it is the BEING that sets the tone for all our outcomes. So BE with more intention.

If you were to create a table of the qualities and virtues you aspire to, begin by considering what feels like a mental quality and what feels like a heart quality to you? Think of Wisdom as the higher purpose or big picture state of being you wish to emerge into. Then what is the higher Wisdom that rises from the holding and expressing particular mental and emotional virtues?

After looking at my chart, try creating  your own chart. You might start by listing the wisdom virtues you would like to develop (column 3). Then what mental and emotional qualities might harmonize to create this virtue as a living reality for you? You could also list what you consider your mental strengths like curiosity, detachment and confidence, and then consider what emotional brilliance, like joy, sympathy or belief, would spark the greater wisdom. Then define the greater wisdom that might spring from that sparkling combination of mental and emotional energy.

Collective Manifestation Exploring Virtues Table:

After you create your chart, consider how you might apply such virtues to teamwork, community work or the development of cooperative projects?

In this spring season, the elements align to help us know what we are planting in the field of universal potential. I thank you all for all the intelligence and love energy that is manifesting more wisdom in our world.
