We Are Exactly Where We Need To Be...

Global climates are becoming increasingly destabilized.  Global temperatures continue to rise at an alarming rate, melting the ice caps of the world and raising sea levels.  Deserts of the world continue to grow, while forests disappear.  200-300 (approximately 100,000 species per year, putting us squarely in the middle of the 6th Great Mass Extinction, according to the fossil record) species are becoming extinct every day just due to tropical forest destruction.  The oceans of the world are dying due to pollution and massive overfishing.  Acid rain continues to destroy temperate forests worldwide.  Human overpopulation combined with an immensely unsustainable civilization grow like cancerous growths upon the face of the Earth.  Ecosystems worldwide are disappearing in the face of "progress", unsustainable use, and pollution.  


Our monetary-based global economy, our addiction to petro-chemicals, our backward allopathic drug/surgery-based "health care" system, our governmental and political systems are ruled by the lust for power, control, manipulation, and profit at all costs.  Global economies are on the brink of collapse.  Human health, fitness, wellness, and vitality are drastically on the decrease, while sickness, diseases, illness in one form or another are increasing dramatically in most industrialized societies worldwide.  Our food, water, air, and living spaces are contaminated to truly astounding levels with both chemical and electromagnetic toxins, not to mention mental and emotional poisons that are all too often overlooked.  Misuse of power, greed, ignorance, manipulation, hatred, revenge, war, genocide, famine, starvation, epidemics, suffering, pain, loss, violence, injustice, dogma, control, propaganda, boredom, monotony, misinformation, lies, shortsightedness, laziness, and a horde of other not-so-nice patterns are so prevalent in our world as to be ridiculously considered "normal" or "just the way things are".


From all outward appearances our civilization seems to be at the beginning stages of its self-annihilation.  Outward appearances can be quite deceiving, however.  While it is indeed true that if we do not successfully surmount our global challenges very, very, very soon, we will destroy ourselves as a civilization, again (by again I mean that, just as there are reincarnational individuals, there are also reincarnational civilizations).  This time period, from my perspective, is a phenomenal time to be alive on Earth for multiple reasons. This is a nexus time period where the societies of the world have at their fingertips all of the cultures, sciences, philosophies, religions, traditions, practices, knowledge, understanding, world-views, information, techniques and experiences of billions upon billions of individuals, groups, and societies worldwide.  Added to this there is an ever increasing awareness of people in every corner of the globe.  More and more individuals are awakening to their true natures - to their freedom, beauty, power, and interconnectedness every day.  These individuals are beginning to find others like themselves, and they are forming groups and communities.  More awakened people awaken others in an ever increasing ripple effect, not only through direct or indirect contact, but also through our shared collective consciousness or morphogenetic field.


The integration of everything we as a species have learned, experienced, created, done, been, and understood, along with the combined effects of the ever increasing stress placed upon our global system and the exponentially increasing levels of consciousness are setting the stage for something truly momentous.  We are on the verge of making a quantum evolutionary leap (by "quantum" I mean to express a jump from one level of organization to another with no intermediate stage) to the next stage of our development - to becoming the next version of the Human species on this planet.  


While adaptation occurs in Nature quite quickly when there minor stresses, quantum evolutionary leaps occur when major stresses appear for a species, after which there is a usually extended period of stasis once again where little change occurs.  When these stresses reach a certain critical level, the species either becomes extinct or it jumps to a new level of organization.  The stresses act as a catalyst for growth and development.  It is the same with us.  The present stresses in the world are about to reach the same sort of critical level, at which point we as this version of the Human species will disappear, or make this quantum evolutionary leap to something we may as yet not even be able to imagine.


While the challenges that we face are indeed quite daunting, and it is possible that we may not succeed, the probability of that we will increases with the intentional, conscious choice to awaken to what is possible made by each individual.  Your conscious intention and choice to awaken to your true nature, to your true potential, is what will catapult us to this inconceivably vast next stage.


These are phenomenonally amazing times, and we are exactly where we need to be...enjoy the ride!
