One of the principles that has already begun to unfold and will unfold more strongly in the near future is equal participation, a proactive stance from everyone.
Today, most people are not ready for it, because between the current state and genuine active involvement lies a whole series of intermediate stages that we have not yet passed through.
This is not about consumerism in the usual sense, where it’s all “me, me, me” and I don’t care what’s happening with you. Rather, it is that many of us are deeply introverted and self-absorbed. Many have retreated so far into themselves that they have lost the feeling of dissatisfaction with the external world; irritation has faded, helplessness has faded, the explicit victim stance has faded.
But along with this, the need to be integrated into society, to participate in processes, and especially to change anything within them, has also faded.
The paradox is that those who actively “break” reality to suit themselves are most often driven not by strength, but by a deep-seated state of victimhood. Their main internal motive is dissatisfaction, criticism, and the expectation that someone else should change things.
In this logic, a person hands over their power to structures, people, and systems, and then waits for results from them. And when expectations are not met, a constant background of irritation, grievances, and internal conflict arises.
The first step toward equal participation: stepping out of victim consciousness
When a person truly steps out of victim consciousness, a qualitative shift occurs. They rise vibrationally above the dense 3D level and the collective consciousness associated with it. In this state, a person becomes self-sufficient, autonomous, and internally sovereign.
External events continue to occur, sometimes literally nearby, but they cease to have a significant impact. A person does not become callous or lose empathy; it is simply that perceiving these processes now requires an energetic connection with the collective 3D field. And that connection is no longer there.
This is precisely why many people sincerely do not see what so acutely disturbs those around them. They are not integrated into these structures, do not read their fields, and do not resonate with them. This is a natural consequence of stepping out of victimhood and transitioning into a state of inner wholeness.

How to Return to Active Participation After a Period of Introversion
However, the next stage is the most difficult. It is the return to proactivity. A state where, if your gaze catches something, an impulse arises: to get involved, to go and do it.
For many, this means the need to step out of virtual space into physical reality. This is especially relevant for deeply introverted people who have been withdrawing themselves from social processes and interactions for years.
Extroverts experience this cycle differently, and often, conversely, they enter a period of quiet. This quiet should not be perceived as a pause or a setback; it is rather a state between stages.
Outwardly, it may seem that “nothing is happening”: activity decreases, there is less feedback, processes seem to slow down. In reality, during this time, an internal restructuring is taking place, a preparation for the next level of participation.

Collective Co-creation Without Hierarchy: Where We Are Heading
The period of collective participation, when it is necessary to unite, move together, propose solutions, and act proactively, is still ahead. Most are not yet ready for this level of co-creation, not due to a lack of experience, but because of accumulated distortions in the themes of partnership, responsibility, and equality.
Interestingly, many have already had this experience. In forms of volunteering, self-organization, and multifunctional participation.
I recall myself when I suddenly turned into a translator and event organizer, having no idea how it was done, writing to foreigners (speakers, spiritual channels) with proposals to be their representative in Russia, creating websites for them from scratch.
I was a jack-of-all-trades, trying to master many things because there were no other options, no money to invest in it, no opportunity to hire anyone, and I did it all myself on a voluntary basis, driven by the desire for as many people as possible to see it.
Today the situation has changed. Modern volunteering often implies a hierarchy: for the process to work, someone must call themselves a teacher, a leader, stand above others. But the format of equal participation, where everyone is equal and each contributes what they can, is still heavily complicated by remnants of three-dimensional thinking: expectations, unestablished boundaries, and questions of “who owes what to whom.”
These distortions have yet to be cleared within each person. At the same time, examples of pure, undivided interaction without hidden conditions already exist. For instance, I had a successful experience of cooperation and interaction without distortions. But this was the only case, with Larisa Artamonova.
And we are moving in that direction; such a format is possible, but it requires a high level of inner maturity, where there are no hidden conditions, and everyone contributes what they can.
Essentially, it is about the principle: from each according to their capabilities, from each according to their abilities, but without the distortions that previously accompanied such socialist ideas.
Equal participation in practice: when there is nothing to wait for
The key to understanding equal participation is experiencing the state of creation. That very moment when “there is nothing,” and for something to appear, it is necessary to initiate the process.
This is very similar to the first experience of independent living. Until you buy groceries, the refrigerator is empty. Until you cook, there is nothing to eat. Even if you have money, but no action, the result does not arise. At some point, it becomes obvious: nothing appears by itself.
In a global sense, this works the same way. If you do not initiate, do not connect people, do not invest, do not take steps — neither homes, nor projects, nor communities, nor new forms of life will appear. Creation begins with an idea and a willingness to act, without expecting someone else to do it for you.
It is precisely to this state that we are now gradually being led: to equal participation, to mature activity, to collective creation without sacrifice, without expectations, and without hierarchies based on fear or control.
