Hi Dale, You raise an incredibly important point for all evolving souls (in relation to the Great Realignment 'problem')...

"I feel very conflicted about interacting within a system that feels so out of alignment. I created this around me, living within a small family, that does survive by (it would appear) supporting the old system. By either needing to use a bank, shop for food, send our youngster to school."

I'd like to speak to everyone on this one. It's something I address in my knew book "Divinicus" which will be out this year sometime. The key point is this: we are a hybridised species living in a synthetic reality largely created for us, which has been quite divorced from the natural harmony of life. Our very DNA contains this compromise entwined within it. You only really get to fully confront this as you have walked the path for some time and embodied soul. Then you start to feel it in every cell of your being. Whether conscious of it or not, we project this outwards onto the Earth's surface. It becomes practically impossible to live a completely aligned life, in the way we did as Original Humans. So that means our lives become a continual compromise in the way you describe, when we have to engage with society, considering at this stage society owns most of the resources and operates most of the systems of control. And even when you step beyond that for a while (as I've done several times), we're still not properly adapted to living life freely on the planet as originally intended. Actually in some ways this can be a great freedom and liberation - because there is no perfection to strive for, there is no 'fixing' of the situation, other than break it all right down so that a higher harmony can reshape (and by 'break it all down' I also mean the body of Homo Sapiens too). Yet we have to be careful not to use this compromise as an excuse - to slip into the trap of vascilation, procrastination or denial. If you allow it to, the path will confront you with all your attachments and distortions. But that doesn't mean you have to necessary go 'off-grid' and live in the woods. Allow me to share a brief experience from early in my journey here...

The path stripped practically everything from me: my marriage, family, company I'd established and most possessions that I owned. I was left with a small car, what could fit in the boot, plus a bike which I kind of figured would come in handy! It was no sacrifice to do this. Actually it was the opposite - a real pleasure and sense of freedom. Then at one point, the universe asked me "what do you need the car for?", felt as a knowing landing in my being. I realised that even though I lived a few miles out of town on a farm, I could definitely live without it. So I sold it and started using the bike to get the daily supplies I needed. It was awesome, I loved it. After a few weeks of riding everywhere, I was going to see my kids one afternoon who lived a few miles away in a nearby town. It was the rush hour with cars driving at their usual break-neck speed. As I entered onto a roundabout, a car that was speeding, hit my back wheel and launched me into the air for several feet. Fortunately I managed to stay relatively composed and land upright on both wheels or else I'd have been under the car! At that point, I felt a very definite 'release' from Gaia: 'It's okay, you've proved the point of non attachment. It's fine to get yourself a car again!

It was a powerful lesson for me as I came to terms with living in the system. The key is to be aware of when you are needy or attached, because you feel tightness inside or resistance, mind led procrastination or denial. Could you simply dive in and let it go? Sometimes you'll be taken to task on it, assuming you allow the universe to guide you. Sometimes you'll let things go and they'll come back to you. It's the training ground - the spiritual 'boot camp - we're now all engaged within. But don't tighten yourself up looking for perfection. You simply won't find it! Open
