Beloved Ones,

As you walk the ways of the world you live in, you are daily changing yourselves and those around you.

Meeting self in all of its aspects and nuances requires the utmost courage and sincerity of purpose, but the rewards for your persistence are becoming self evident.

When you look back in a time not too distant, you can see in hindsight that all of your experiences have brought you to this moment of clarity and inner strength. Every experience you have ever had has brought you greater insight, wisdom, and spiritual growth.

As you move forward on your personal journey into higher consciousness, awareness, and understanding, you make it that much easier for others to find their way forward also. Through all of your self-imposed disciplines and spiritual practices through the years, you have learned that love of self is of the utmost importance on your spiritual quest, for it is from that love that the love of the divine finds expression through you.

It is well for you to keep in mind that the ultimate purpose of your spiritual efforts is the building and strengthening of your etheric body of Light. This body surrounds your physical body and is composed of many different aspects and layers.

Each layer (the physical, mental, emotional, spiritual) needs to transmute any and all energies and influences that prevent the lightbody from coming into greater prominence in your life.

As the cleansing and purging of the human condition continues, that lightbody grows in luminosity and radiance. This is the ultimate objective of the Divine Plan; that humanity as a whole remembers the Light that they truly are and expresses that Light more until all density is transmuted.

This is accomplished by daily living and practicing of the golden rule, the understanding that as you do unto others, so it is done unto you. That spiritual law has always been in existence along with that of harming none.

Do not falter on your spiritual journey as these challenges come before you. These tests and trials are honing you into a being that has greatness within them. Each step that you take towards the ultimate purpose of your incarnation here upon the planet is a step towards victory.

When humanity moves beyond the confines of duality and polarity and chooses to express and manifest their greater Light, the world will change and transform quickly. Look to the future then, with hope and with a peaceful heart.

As long as you are sincerely making the effort to return to the Light that is your true state of being, you are in harmony with the plan of your soul’s journey into bringing all aspects of yourself into the greater Light. Every person incarnate on the Earth at this time has an equal opportunity to advance in their awareness and consciousness.

It is all a matter of choice, as each person traverses the movement between dimensional frequency levels. There needs to be a greater cleansing of so much of Earth’s long history of the forgetfulness of its inhabitants of that greater Light which they are.

All actions and deeds from the past, which left great pockets of darkness in many places on the planet, are areas that are now being cleansed and balanced.

It is important to send your love, Light, healing, and support to these areas of the world where the inhabitants have been so severely tested and to help in any way that is so sorely needed at this time.

Put yourselves in their shoes for a moment and feel how grateful you would be for the most basic of necessities in such a situation. Offer your prayers for the highest outcomes to come to those who are suffering.

There will be many areas of the world that will be transformed in many ways and it is important that you stay centered, remain calm, and send out the Light where it is needed most. All it takes is your focus and intention for a few moments several times a day.

The planet Earth is home to all and is the only home to each of its inhabitants. Send Light and love to this conscious and loving Being also.

Until next week…

I AM Hilarion

Let’s push it, let’s birth it. Let’s create and heal and risk the pain. I love the way you lead the way, the way you risk that disapproving sneer, the distasteful glare. I love the way you dive right into the fear of isolation and rejection, just to become the truth. Sure, we want to be good and to be loved, but following the rules has never unveiled the joy we seek.

Now is not the time to follow the old rules!

The world is in a great initiation, a giant transition. It’s time to question the (de)construction of every wall. Those of us willing to identify as leaders and healers are uniquely poised to help this process. Surviving crisis is written in our DNA, but this time around, the scale is larger.

Many of us have had the luxury of time spent together in friendship, spiritual or professional community, celebrating the cycles of the planet and imagining the world that is to come. Our intention is sent out to create that world where natural resources are valued, everyone has what they need and our relationships with plants and animals are healthy. We want to recognize the interdependence of our lives with other humans. We are surrounded by people who may have a different view of what is coming or who may fear the events that are unfolding around our climate, racial justice and change in economy.

The Great Turning

In their book, Active Hope: How to Face the Mess We’re In Without Going Crazy, Joanna Macy and Chris Johnstone outline three paradigms about the way that the world is going right now.

The first is Business as Usual; this seems to be the way that most of Western urbanized culture is going. Governments still recommend economic progress based on overuse of resources; the media still gives the message to consume. No change is recommended anytime soon.

In The Great Unraveling story, it is the opposite. All the dire truths about this time weigh heavy and there is no other direction except for imminent destruction.

The third paradigm, The Great Turning, is about a major transition in lifestyle and actions to shift human culture towards a holistic healing relationship with our planet.

People who are practicing Business as Usual seem to be living in denial about climate changes, extinction of species and extreme economic disparity. When faced with this story, everything can feel hopeless and we find ourselves spending hours searching the internet or distracting ourselves. It is seductive to engage in The Great Unraveling as well. This one feels like we are really doing something by convincing people how bad it is out there. Our urgency feels like the opposite of apathy. Perhaps we grow more desperate, thinking that it is too late for significant change; that we are surely doomed.

In healing leadership, we continue to revisit The Great Turning as a possibility for the future. We share what is so painful and exciting about being alive right now. We remember what is worth fighting for and loving, and what qualities leaders need in the real world to bringThe Great Turning to life.

Qualities of Visionary Leaders and Healers

Capacity For Holding Grief.

We are in a time where many things are changing and being lost. Sometimes, the growth on the other side of loss isn’t immediately obvious. Our opportunities to sit with people who are in distress may increase.

In many of the healing arts, there are techniques around energetic shielding to effectively help people process deep emotions without taking them on ourselves. Grief sometimes elicits anger, anxiety or fear which can be difficult to support. The tendency can be to try and ‘fix it’ so the person will stop expressing the emotion we perceive as negative. In Chinese medicine, all emotions move qi (life force) through us. Emotions are in service to our health and they will not be endless. When people feel things intensely, we can learn to give them space and empathy. We cannot fix it and sometimes what people want is to be physically or emotionally held so that they can keep going.

If you do not feel comfortable around heavy emotions, ask yourself what is hard for you about it. How can you grow your capacity to hold people in transformation? What are the resources in your community to help people process loss and anger?

Capacity For Rejuvenation.

Just as we expand our ability to hold suffering, it is also necessary to become excellent at rejuvenation. At a memorial service for my friend, Jim Brandau, we were told that one of Jim’s great mottos was a rule from the Running of the Bulls festival in Pamplona, Spain. “All participants are required to lend to the joy of the fiesta.” Our joy matters now more than ever.

One of the first signs of trouble in an activist campaign is when we lose enthusiasm. As leaders, we are responsible for knowing what brings us pleasure, how we can find respite. Our self care becomes more vital than ever. Because passion and motivation are such wonderful qualities in leaders, we must be ever seeking inspiration.

What are ten practices that refill you? Who are the people or beings who help you relax, reconnect with resources and with yourself?

Ability to Listen and Synthesize.

We all love leaders who have brilliant ideas and communicate them in a succinct way. Even more coveted is the ability to synthesize what has been said. Leaders who release attachment to their own ideas and draw together the passionate opinions of others are needed. One of us is rarely as brilliant as all of us and the marriage of different ideas is a way to achieve innovative solutions. It is great to restate people’s words in a group, ensuring that everyone understands what is being said and allowing individuals to edit their own offering. Crafty leaders also begin to notice when folks are saying similar things and make proposals.

Mediation Skills.

I am an unapologetic fan of Marshall Rosenberg’s Nonviolent Communication. His assertion that every human being has the same needs is revolutionary. I have seen his system bring more empathy and ability for people in serious conflict to reconnect than any other. We have conflict when an underlying need of ours is not being met. Leaders can use NVC (or another comparable system) to assess what unmet need is causing the upset in a group and help to meet the need if possible. When leaders seek conflict resolution training, we all have a better chance of moving forward.

Intimate Relationship With Our Challenges.

Thank goodness we are imperfect. It is a lifelong struggle to accept this about ourselves and in leadership, it is amplified. Our ability to be aware of our own challenges and to be kind to ourselves around the ways that we make mistakes is imperative. I recommend making a list of tendencies that sometimes feel like barriers to success. Along with a commitment to work on them, give yourself permission to be an imperfect leader. Ask a trusted mentor to be ‘on call’ to give a reality check if they see your challenges becoming a problem. It can be freeing to give your challenges names, faces and personalities. Now, when I hear my Rigid Controller (RC for short) start to speak inside my head, I have much more empathy for myself and ability to edit what that part of me has to say.

Ability To Laugh At Ourselves.

We are funny monkeys! We do strange and outrageous things. The more we relax and give a good guffaw when we can’t control things, the easier it is to lead others in doing the same. I love it when anyone in leadership asks for a “do over” when they do something that they didn’t intend. The more sense of humor that is displayed, the more my respect grows. Taking ourselves too seriously has got to go.

Ability to Apologize When Our Impact Does Not Meet Intention.

Cedar Barstow emphasizes that even with the purest intention, what we say or do may still feel offensive. We hate that. We want to explain and excuse ourselves. We want people to think well of us. Often, the best thing to do is just apologize. It can be the most disarming thing. More information from you may be welcome after that or not. I will sometimes even get advice about another way that it could have been said or done to achieve the impact that I want. Leading with an authentic apology when something has gone awry, rather than a defense, is one of the best moves a leader can make.

Showing the Vulnerability That Builds Trust.

We want to see ourselves in our leaders. It is difficult to see ourselves in people who appear to be perfect. I consistently get feedback that writing or telling stories about overcoming obstacles in my life or the places where I still struggle are helpful to others. We feel hopeful when we see people we admire be vulnerable. We trust them more. It awakens the mammal in us. People want to know how you arrived where you are. There is an art to sharing your personal stories. Oversharing from the center of your unprocessed painful experience might cause mistrust. However, giving some personal details about what you are experiencing now or what you have been through to get where you are today will help us connect to you.

Embracing Paradox.

Truth is not simple these days. Leaders who can do the mental gymnastics of holding two opposing truths simultaneously are in demand. The ocean levels are rising and there are millions of organizations creating healing and justice in the world. How can we hold disparate realities as being relevant and accurate? There is a way to shift our perception of the world to support our actions and resolve and it will require a strong relationship to holding paradox.

Stress Relief Techniques.

The Dalai Lama recently said that humans are in a pandemic of anxiety and depression. While this may be appropriate given what is happening to our planet, it can keep us helpless. Our ability to feel deeply and move our emotions through us is paramount. What are the ways we can support ourselves and each other in doing this? This is connected to our capacity for rejuvenation but also necessary just to keep moving, to get out of bed in the morning. Our media and our circumstances keep our nervous system in constant sympathetic arousal. We must find breathing techniques, movement, exercise, and relaxation, anything to get us back to our creative brain and out of reaction. What does this for you?

Contributing to the Transition

One of our challenges is to take our wisdom into a world that may not understand what we do. People may be repulsed or frightened by our beliefs or the words we use to self identify. We must not be deterred.

The skills we have are desperately needed. People will sense who you are and ask you to assist in their crisis, facilitate their meetings, interpret their dreams, perform their memorial service, create art or ritual for them, settle their arguments, or answer their questions about spirituality or medicine for these times. How will you respond?

Carolyn Raffensperger asks a provocative question in an interview with Derek Jensen. “What is the biggest and most important problem in the world that you can [help to] solve with your unique skills and abilities?” I pose this question to all current and potential leaders and healers. It helps us face the size of the transition with which we are dealing but also to see our distinctive contribution to it.

Sometimes, our protest results in a policy change, our patient recovers, our kids learn something, our client feels better, our students understand; we make a visible difference that we can acknowledge. Those are great moments, but our attachment to having them happen frequently is problematic. Sometimes we have to do the work that is directly in front of us and not see the results of our actions. Instead, we may have to trust that our children, students, or some descendent in the future may be touched by what we do.

We can continue to support each other and hold the vision. There is no certainty about where we are going. All we can do is exactly what is in front of us and contribute as much as possible to the joy of the ongoing fiesta unfolding around us.

I suspect we have enough of everything we need to make this transition. Let’s keep going. Squeeze out that last drop of wonder in the tube. Stop clenching and clawing and clamping down. Open your chest, your heart, your lower back, your whole life. Live audaciously all the way to the edge and I will too.

“10 Qualities of Visionary Leaders and Healers in Transitional Times”, by Gerri Ravyn Stanfield, dated April 17, 2015 at http://www.shift.is/2015/04/10-qualities-of-visionary-leaders-and-healers-in-transitional-times/

God said:

Forgive ahead of time. Whatever you hold onto that hardens your heart, empty it from your heart right now. You know hardness does not belong in your heart. Your heart is meant to be unfolding, not tightening, not stiffening. Why would you do that to your heart? Don’t strangle your heart. What do you think you are doing?

It is yourself you are to forgive for being hard-hearted. The one who carries hurt has to let it go. There is no other recourse. Whatever was said to you or done to you, even if it were the worst imaginable thing in the world, you have to let it go. Don’t keep it with you.

You know better. The one who offends you may not know better. Consider the one you were offended by as having dropped a stitch in knitting. Consider he spilled a blot of ink. Consider he was hard of hearing and simply didn’t hear you.

Think a moment. If he knew better, wouldn’t he have done better? Just as you may find it difficult to let go of hurt no matter how grievous or minor, the other person found himself caught up in the momentum of a direction, and his brakes were faulty.

You, upon whom the offense was perpetrated, haven’t gotten over your offense yet. You are just the same. You know what it is to go in a direction you are caught in.

Are you caught in a race for stubbornness? Are you trying to find out who can keep his jaw gritted the longest? Isn’t this what lack of letting go amounts to now?

Simply get off the track you are on. It’s not safe, and it’s not right. You are perpetuating a crime now greater than whatever was catapulted on you. In effect, you shot yourself out of a cannon. Pick up the pieces and put yourself back together. The cannon is your anger and all your self-righteousness. Look, agreed that you shouldn’t have been treated the way you were, nor should you be treating yourself this way either. Nor should you be treating anyone else this way.

What, are you a warden in prison? Are you a judge in court? A referee?

Just as you are to be the first to greet someone, now be the first to shake hands and drop the issue. Nothing is worth coldness of heart. A billion dollars is not worth coldness of heart, and right now you have a heart chilled to the bone, and you haven’t received one red cent of remuneration. This is costing you. It is costing you lost love and all this unhappy time.

You know you will warm up eventually. You will get over it. So get over it now. Slacken your jaw. Let go of being formidable. Reverse directions. Turn around and let go of the past.

You say you believe in love. Good, then where is your love? Where have you stuffed it?

Scrimmage around to find it. It’s there somewhere in a closet. Put your heart back where it belongs and get yourself out of cold storage.

How did you ever get yourself in this place anyway? It was all an aberration. It was all a foolish thought. You and the offender have both taken offense. Now you both have to let go of it. What you consider an intolerable offense — whether it is or not — you have to let go of it. You have some say over yourself.

Don’t you have something better to do than to hold tight? I know you do. You know too. So do it then. Do not delay. This is your life. It is ticking. There are no time-outs. Get back in, not into the foray, but to where you want to be. I don’t believe for one minute that you want to be where you are. You are ensnarled in nothing worthwhile. You do not have to be stuck. Get out from this snare you are in right now, right this minute. Rush to be the first. You have nothing to lose but stubbornness, self-righteousness, etc.

“Heavenletter #5272: “Let Go of Holding On,” channeled by Gloria Wendroff, May 2, 2015, at http://heavenletters.org/let-go-of-holding-on.html

Although there have been many, many aspects to the Shift in Consciousness the last 25-30 years, one of the biggest, game-changing and critical Evolutionary Big-Switches that has occurred (and continues) is that of people getting up off their knees, en masse, all over the world, and actively busting the dominator / victim, conqueror / conquered, rich / poor dynamic that has been dominant for thousands of years.

Millions have risen (and continue to rise) globally to challenge ages-old domination of people, environment, the narrative and the commons, and they are building a ‘movement of movements’, one person, post, photo, tweet, prayer, blog, protest at a time.

Credit: wakeup-world.com

These significant years will be but a chapter in the history books to be written some day, but for us they represent an exhilarating moment in the evolutionary trajectory fromcontrolled human being to liberated, limitless human being.

Called ‘Joyful Activism’ by Eckhart Tolle, ‘Spiritual Activism’ by Andrew Harvey … and ‘Evolutionary Activism’ by myself … the next phase is about galvanizing one’s free will, imagination and dignity in order to co-create a thriving planetary consciousness and culture, on the collapse of the outgoing, destructive (patriarchal) culture.

This moment is about being here, in other words, and getting creative.

Greater Global Understanding

In 2015, of course, there is greater global understanding of wealth inequality, the corporatocracy, the centralized banking cartels, and the debt-money/fractional reserve banking systems that dismally fail the environment and the majority of human beings and the Earth’s species.

And yet, in the face of enormous corporate control of media and agendas; worldwide spying into our online habits; fracking our lands; poisoning our air, food, seas and skies; aggressive clampdowns on free speech; and increasing concentration of wealth and power into the hands of the few… people in the millions are speaking truth to that old order. …and getting creative.

They want conclusive moves from competition to collaboration, from hierarchy to equality, from us-and-them polarization to unity-in-diversity… and they are willing to dive into the deep overhauls necessary to transform Religion, Politics, Spirituality, Medicine, Education, Economics and numerous social systems in order to realize their dreams and visions of how we might really freely and abundantly live.

This is what the Shift has accomplished, and it is not ‘out there’, but right here and right now… on this Earth. The ‘New Earth’ is THIS Earth, with human beings the conscious caretakers and powerfully engaged in translating vision into manifested reality.

The ‘New Earth’ that millions are globally co-creating within this ‘living library’ of exhilarating diversity is founded upon the basic human rights principles of universality, accountability, transparency, and equity. It is rooted in interconnection, interdependence, and LOVE, whether one considers him/herself ‘spiritual’ or an ‘atheist’. It is based on a popular sovereignty which involves direct participation in shared, from-the-ground-up, cooperative decision-making for collective action that serves the common good, with higher levels supporting(rather controlling and manipulating) the lower.

The recognition of our deep interconnectedness and interdependence is giving rise to a planetary consciousness. This consciousness promotes human development through direct engagement and social decision-making, and it fosters cooperation, a care economy, dialogue and a sense of agency, instrumental knowledge and wisdom, values clarification, and social consciousness. In this ‘New Earth’, the enriched individual is an esteemed part of a larger social whole of living systems and intrinsic relationships, not an isolated atom, and individuals and systems are valued as deeply entwined mirrors of one another’s prosperity, health and wellbeing.

Aspects of How the Shift is Manifesting at Large

As we are still somewhere between the old and the new, the breakdown and the breakthrough, destruction and creation… it is sometimes difficult to recognize, especially through the blaze of propaganda. However, many shining trajectories are piercing through those tired worldview-control strategies. In fact, examples abound of those bridging worlds, talents and experiences, and re-imagining and manifesting the New from the ground up in the form of:

• Intentional communities, habitat restorers, interspecies relations and ethics, community eco-therapists and environmental justice, rather than isolated ‘nuclear families’ in burnt out environments and communities.
• Dignity, critical thinking, consciousness, reconciliation, consensus-building and dialogue, rather than demoralization and despondency.
• Engagement in focused prayer, meditation, healing and intent, psycho-integrative and shamanic (either individually or in groups), to clear negative energy, bring stability, and to hold energy and space for peace and for the New to enter and become real.
• Egalitarian, democratic, self-managed horizontal organization and participatory democratic consumer, worker & manufacturing cooperatives; community coordination and people’s councils…rather than hierarchical boss-worker exploitation.
• Land committees; protecting cultures indigenous to the area; educating and sustaining an interconnected, interdependent worldview.
• Bringing together huge numbers of people to focus upon deeply disturbed areas of the planet, and directing positive thought and emotion at synchronized intervals.
• Progressive electoral politics, and people’s community councils that embrace local, grassroots governance, community mediators, consensus-building and participatory democracy.
• The rise of the international solidarity economy network, community partnership banking models, barter systems and state banks, rather than ‘too big to fail’ banks and super-entities.
• Dialogue facilitation and many more parties beyond puppet left and right parties and candidates
• Intergenerational dialogue and cultural recovery, rather than marginalization and decimation of culture.
• Restorative justice, community mediators, nonviolence educators.
• The arts, culture-celebration.
• The release of suppressed technology and medicines.
• Rural and urban communities working to create sustainable, locally-owned energy, and local food production and distribution networks
• The global environmental movement and increasing desire for, and use of, solar, wind and other clean energy sources for heart-centered, sustainable communities and initiatives.
• Ecosocialism and unprecedented victories in protecting land and resources from extractive industries and vulture capitalists (after oil, gas, cheap labour, dams, mining, deep sea drilling, fracking, fishing, forestry and land for transnational private interests that impoverish communities, expel people.)
• Zapatismo in Mexico, Keiretsu in Japan, Mondragon in Spain, the Vermont Commons in the US, Tamera ecovillage in Portugal.
• Ecuador’s Buen Vivir (that is spreading as a philosophy throughout Latin America); the Bolivarian Revolution in Venezuela.
• Documentary, film and video; online and offline grassroots networks and organizations that may be local, national or international.
• Whistleblowing, civil disobedience, bloggers, hackers, social media activists, boycotters, petition organizations, and alternative media (radio, TV and news channels.)

YES, these examples are all about empowering people and about building a conscious, more fuller humanity from the ground up in authentic participation, in recognition of inherent connectedness, solidarity, transformational self-determination and human development. They demonstrate the transformation of global beliefs and practices toward secure a sustainable and abundant planetary culture and wellbeing for all.

None of the above examples is about:

• Pretending-away (through distraction and spiritual bypassing) the many affronts to our humanity, dignity, species and environment.
• Solely resisting the advances and cruelties of the old system as one ‘free trade’ agreement is created after another or one ‘aid package’, ‘freedom fighter’, IMF loan or social program is foisted upon a given culture or country.
• Going to another Earth or dimension (a belief that leavesthis earth unattended and open to continual senseless plunder and war.)

These actions are focused upon actually seeing and loving THIS EARTH ‘enough’… to restore dignity and to engage free will, imagination and creativity, via connectedness in new social relationships and mutual responsibility and collective direction,where diversity and lots of worlds can fit, interdependently, and in energetic relationships, both horizontally and vertically.

They are building alliances based on collective will in as many places as they can, connecting them and sharing philosophies and strategies… whilst the old guard is on the run.

They are keeping an eye on backlashes, to be sure, AND they are focused on collaboration and building strategic alliances, and transcending the old mentally, emotionally, spiritually, economically, politically, environmentally… all at the same time.

THIS Earth

It is THIS Earth, and not some ‘other Earth out there’. It’s about Immanence and Transcendence combined, working as one. Spirit and Matter combined, not split. That’s Unity Consciousness, that’s ‘Creating heaven on Earth’… and it’s here right now, not out there. It is time that the ages-old schism separating matter and spirit, ‘old earth’ and ‘new earth’, heaven and earth… came to an end. It is this very schism that is causing the greatest disturbances and challenges as human beings look away or wish for that ‘new earth’ to suddenly materialize.

In this New Earth, it’s you and I right here and right now.

THIS New Earth is:

• fusion spirituality, politics, economics, culture, science, and technology for supporting diversity and jumping borders
• participation in common pathways, across numerous viewpoints for progressive agendas and moving dialogue
• creation beyond just ‘personal salvation’, but into a unified, highly diverse consciousness based on awakened, conscious individuals working collaboratively with vision.

It’s a fusion and ‘movement of movements’ that recognizes the value of this earth, this humanity….and sees the interconnectedness of all our systems (environment, spiritual, economic). It’s this kind of Restorative Love, Passion and Dignity that have spurred the millions into visionary and empowered action.

As we know by now, what we don’t value gets trashed or taken away. Like Sudan, the last known white male rhino in the world, certain things face extinction due to human interference and when we don’t care.

And yet, and as with Sudan, Australia’s Great Barrier Reef, fracking, Nestle stealing California’s water, and more… trashing is ALSO anenormous wake-up call into activation, engagement and all-systems, interconnected empowerment for a thriving planetary consciousness and culture.

And when we re-invigorate our values and realize that there is so much of inestimable value on this shining Earth, we will be further emboldened to imagine, create, think, feel and act in coherent alignment, and we will be well on the way to developing the economic, spiritual, political, environmental, technological and scientific forms of a collaborative planetary society based on the sacred worldview we all envision, in wholistic, biospherical respect, love, nurture, equality, freedom, prosperity, power and care….serving the wellbeing of both the people and the planet.

We are but at the beginning now, post Shift, and crises abound and will continue, to ensure the conscious capacity to live in freedom and abundance as a global community, interdependent with the Earth, and enhancing life on earth for everyone. There’s no shortage of ways forward, that much is abundantly clear. And….it is to our benefit now and to the benefit of those to come, to get started and to focus on what we want to build in conscious co-creation and participation….and do it.

Enlivening and Refreshing!

How enlivening it is to BE this vibrant hope, free will, sovereignty, dignity and creativity… and not give into denial and despondency.

How refreshing it feels to feel so free that we might secure a collective future that has moved from the more primitive, reactionary, destructive and fear-based and into empowered cooperation, abundance, connectivity, joy, freedom and sustainability for all.

Everything right now is a superb invitation into claiming the power that has been surrendered and was hidden away and used by others. This invitation to reclaim, restore, reconfigure, recalibrate and rise up is a beckoning! It points to the seeding and manifestation of a new youwithin our renewed, revered and regenerated Earth… a new evolutionary phase calling us forward.

As we go forward and be here fully now, we take ownership of our thoughts, emotions, actions, manifestations and experiences… and their results in our lives. We grow up and land in the masterful co-creation of a new era characterized by inspired action, holistic thinking and emotion, the understanding of right human relations, non-aggression, powerful self-worth and self-respect, dignity, and an inspired synthesisthat is based on compassionate and awake identification with the whole of humanity. We land in an Earth and planetary consciousness that allows many different worlds, libraries of information, beliefs and species to co-exist in enormous and welcomed diversity. We land in a worldview-culture that is restorative to people, place and planet; unified and diverse and the same time… and thriving.

“Next Phase: Co-Creating a Thriving Planetary Consciousness and Culture”, by Fatima Bacot, dated May 2, 2015 at http://wakeup-world.com/2015/05/02/next-phase-co-creating-a-thriving-planetary-consciousness-and-culture/
