We often hear that willpower is the key to personal transformation. “Just stick to it,” people say. “Stay disciplined.” But what if there’s something even more fundamental to our growth and wellbeing? What if the environment we inhabit plays a more crucial role than sheer force of will?
This fascinating principle, long understood by Eastern mystics, is now being demonstrated in surprising ways through modern consciousness-raising technology. The environment we live in shapes our thoughts, emotions, and behaviours in profound ways – often without us even realizing it.
Consider Rebecca’s story, shared with us in our webinar ‘Environment is More Important Than Will.’ She lived in a neighbourhood that had become increasingly chaotic, with disruptive neighbours engaging in concerning activities. Despite her best efforts to address the situation through conventional means, it wasn’t until she raised the consciousness of her environment that things began to transform. Within months, the problematic neighbours moved out, and peace returned to the community. Her experience highlights how a higher-consciousness environment can naturally shift situations toward more positive outcomes.
Another participant shared how her husband, initially resistant to personal growth, began opening up to counselling and working on emotional patterns after their home’s consciousness was raised. While the process wasn’t always smooth, the supportive environment created space for positive change that mere willpower hadn’t achieved before.
This environmental effect shows up in professional settings too. One story involved a company president known for his harsh treatment of employees. After the workplace environment’s consciousness was raised, his behavior gradually softened, leading to a more positive workplace culture and improved business outcomes – all without direct intervention.
The principle works much like a trampoline: when you’re supported by a high-consciousness environment, it becomes easier to maintain elevated states of being. Rather than constantly fighting against lower energies, you’re naturally buoyed up by your surroundings. It’s like trying to stay fit – while willpower matters, it’s far easier to maintain healthy habits when you live near a gym and your friends are health-conscious.
What makes this understanding so powerful is that it shifts the focus from struggling against our limitations to creating supportive conditions for growth. Instead of trying to force change through willpower alone, we can work on raising the consciousness of our environment, which then naturally supports our evolution.
This doesn’t mean willpower is irrelevant – rather, it suggests that our efforts are much more effective when backed by a supportive environment. Like a plant needs good soil to grow, our personal development flourishes in high-consciousness surroundings.
As we navigate our personal growth journeys, perhaps it’s time to pay more attention to the environments we inhabit. Whether it’s our homes, workplaces, or neighbourhoods, the consciousness of our surroundings may be the key factor in determining our success and well-being. By raising the consciousness of our environments, we create the conditions where positive change can unfold naturally, requiring less force and struggle than willpower alone.
The next time you’re working on personal growth, consider: How can you raise the consciousness of your environment to support your journey? The answer might be more transformative than you imagine.
