One of the pillars of my leadership model is unity consciousness. The art of unity is a state of being many people don’t know how to attain. Some people naturally understand and operate, knowing that we are all connected.  Wise leaders often consciously or unconsciously behave and act through a unity consciousness. I frequently hear leaders wish to manage their business “As one” but have no idea how to achieve a sense of oneness.

Quantum physics

Quantum physics has shown that our physical world comprises waves and energy particles. There is nothing physical about us or our world; we and everything around us are simply pulsating energy. As energy fields, we are all connected.>Young’s double-slit experiment can sound complicated. It demonstrates that light can be both waves and particles. On a quantum level, whether light shows up as a wave or a particle depends on the observer. Therefore, how we look at things can affect energy. When we look at our world, the people in it and our environment through the lens of unity consciousness, we change the energy and break down the duality that appears to separate us all.

Developing the art of unity

It’s ok to believe we are all separate; indeed, that’s how we show up. We have levels of diversity. There are protected characteristics such as ethnicity, disability, and gender. We are just beginning to understand neurodiversity and the complexity of how our brains all work differently. Our personalities are unique; we all process information differently, respond to it and make decisions differently. Our worldviews are cemented by our preferences and our experiences, which lead to a myriad of beliefs about who we are as humans and how we should live our lives.>Unity consciousness, though, asks us to put aside all of our differences and concentrate on those features of life which we have in common. The beginning of unity consciousness is to perceive the truth of what we have in common.

The characteristics of unity consciousness

If we focus on them, several characteristics can be inclusive, acknowledge our connection, and value everyone as one race, the human race. If you wish to pursue a unity consciousness, here are some ideas you may want to consider.

1. We are all connected

We are all connected by energy, and what we think, believe, and act on impacts all energy in the world. Therefore, our thoughts and beliefs will seep out into the world no matter what.

2. Our operating systems have the same components

Our operating systems all have the same basic components: we have a brain, feel, think and respond depending on the lens of our experiences and beliefs. We have hearts that can experience great joy, love, and extreme hurt and misery.

3. We can all learn and change

Our brains have the benefit of neuroplasticity and, indeed, are wired to learn. Natural human drives are learning about ourselves and making changes to help our lives and our environments work better.

4. A single unifying energy

We all are made from one single energy: the energy of love. Our lives are shaped to the extent we allow or extend love and kindness in our experience. Our conclusions about the world will be coloured by the levels of our natural energy of love we will allow or extend. No matter what the question is, love is the answer.  That sounds like a stretch, but it is true.

5. We all want to matter

One of the most prevalent desires of our human existence is that we want to matter.  In a workplace, inherent needs exist, such as belonging, feeling safe, making a difference, and being valued.  Wise leaders who operate the art of unity understand that supporting employees to fulfil these needs despite the appearance of division will better create a sense of unity.

What this means for leaders

We are all learning, growing, and existing in a world that appears to be separate when, in fact, we are joined at the highest level. Leaders who understand unity consciousness can facilitate profound impacts on how they lead. This understanding impacts how we serve our customers and the relationships within our teams. Whether we demonstrate acts of love and unity or acts of fear and division will determine our experience in the world.

As leaders, we act from our higher self when we blur the lines of division. This can be done by understanding the struggle all humans are experiencing. We recognise our commonality at the heart of who we are. We seek first to understand others. By so seeking, we are extending our love and kindness rather than increasing the idea of separation and fear. By continuing to practice the art of unity, we can substantially impact the lives of our team, community, and families.
