 UNILATERAL DRIFT

     ~ understanding center-point in our beliefs

Most of us believe that we are somewhere in the center of thoughts, beliefs, and behaviors. Due to our socio-cultural programming, this seems reasonable, as we are surrounded by persons who mostly think, believe, and act as we do. 

However: ideas morph, separate, unify, come into favor, and drop away. Can we really know where center is, and can we identify when we have become polarized, shifting on the spectrum of the world with a steady Unilateral Drift?

Think of your parent's generation: their ideas, beliefs, behaviors. How do they differ from yours? How is the center of your parent's and grandparent's generations different from yours? Do you find you are more traditional, or are you more liberal? Around which issues do you seem to be most Unilaterally biased?

At some point in our lives, we all know Unilateral Drift, the condition of trending towards our own ideals and beliefs regardless of how it might affect others. We may justify rising behaviors, and at some point, align ourselves with persons whom the general population might consider radical.

Unilateral Drift is more than thought, belief, and action. It is a sway in the fabric, a shadow lain at the door. It is the slow and steady movement to one end of the spectrum, forgoing center, which itself has certainly shifted for you.

Idealists who become frenzied outsiders, rigid in their beliefs and manners, and feeling quite justified about it, have already experienced the Unilateral Drift--perhaps, rapidly. They speak passionately about new beliefs and idealize their cosmology. They can be punitive and prejudiced. They cleave cultures and start wars.

Find your center today. Where is it? How does it compare to other cultures around the world? Are you drifting towards one end of the spectrum? Is that spectrum a point of unconditional love, or is it a point of angry unrest?

Stop often and check for your center. We do not ask you to be meek, or un-established in your beliefs. We ask that you know where you are traveling, and that you do it with your eyes wide open.

Blessed Be This Day
