When I
moved beyond the cleansing portion of the session,
I was met
by a large assembly of Beings who appeared to have been
called to participate in today's events...
They had
the feeling-tone of being Master
Shamans.
Under their watchful
eye I was escorted to an arena where a day of disclosure had
been planned.
What "I" was at this point is difficult to
describe.
The hours of painful cleansing had already
shattered my egoic reality and left me in an extremely
porous transpersonal state.
As we approached the arena, the
procession was stopped at regular intervals and
interrogated.
In order to continue, one had to demonstrate
one's knowledge of the inner workings of the universe.
I was
surprised to find that I appeared to possess the required
knowledge, as I was always passed along.
With each
checkpoint, my exponential reality changed dramatically as
deeper and deeper modes of archetypal experience of
incalculable age and expanse opened.
Eventually space-time
reality was left behind entirely, and I found myself "alone"
in a condition that was seemingly without boundaries of
either time or space, soaking in the bliss and clarity of
transcendence.
I then learned that,
I was going to be shown a portion of the
larger plan for the human species...
As preposterous as this
suggestion may sound to ordinary consciousness, in my
current state it seemed entirely feasible.
I had no time to
debate these matters, for suddenly something opened and I
was drawn into an even more refined and concentrated reality
that felt to be the power and intelligence driving evolution
itself.
I entered into what for want of a better image could
be described as a vast, concentrated "stream" underlining
physical existence, and this stream seemed to be the
formative intent of the Creator Itself.
I dissolved
completely into the stream and became one with it.
The
following experiences emerged while I was in this state.
I was first taken back to the primordial beginning before
creation and there experienced human evolution in the
context of a larger cosmic agenda.
Suddenly I was
overwhelmed by the most extraordinary Love, a love unlike
anything I had ever encountered before.
It was a romantic
love, cosmic in scope and intensity...
As I
stabilized under
this amorous assault, I began to remember a romance from
deep within my history.
An ancient love, a divine love of
unbelievable proportions.
I was a Cosmic Being
being loved
by another Cosmic Being.
Though at one level I have never
been separated from my lover, at another level we had been
separated for billions of years and my return was rekindling
our ancient love.
The pieces were hard to catch.
Creation seemed to be a
reality that had come forth from the dynamic relation
between two cosmic Beings, which had themselves emerged from
a more fundamental primal unity.
One
being, who felt more
like a He, had remained fully conscious outside of matter
while the other had plunged herself into the task of
creating the material dimension, knowing in advance that she
would lose her self-awareness in this work and become
unconscious of her true reality for billions of years.
She
had voluntarily submitted to this long and painful exile in
order to create the raw substance of physical life that
would in time become transparent to divine intention as
matter evolved into full self-awareness.
This work now
largely complete, the self-imposed exile was coming to an
end, and the lovers were being reunited at long last.
The magnitude of the love that lay at the font of creation
was beyond description.
To awaken to this love was to
remember a primordial decision that I had somehow
participated in.
It was part of my spiritual genetic
make-up, something I had inherited along with everything
else that I had not understood about my life.
Remembering
choices made before matter and time even existed, I
reconnected with the divine love that had inspired these
choices.
This experience completely shattered my heart, and
I wept deeply.
From this perspective, I experienced all the suffering that
humanity had endured as taking place not outside this love
but inside it.
I
realized that all the suffering inherent in
evolution was noble beyond words.
It was all
part of a
cosmic plan that had been entered into freely by all
participants, however unconscious of this fact we had become
along the way.
The nobility of great suffering voluntarily
shouldered in the name of Divine Love, suffering that would
stretch across millions of years, suffering that would
become so utterly inscrutable that it would be used as
evidence that the universe itself was devoid of compassion,
this was the nobility of humanity's gift to the Creator.
All
of the suffering that humanity had endured and would
continue to endure, especially the suffering of
forgetfulness itself, was part of a consciously chosen
creative process, a process that had not yet come to full
fruition.
I saw that out of the seething desires of history, out of
the violent conflicts and of the scheming of individuals and
nations, there was now driving forward a new awareness in
human consciousness.
Its birth in us no less difficult or
violent than the birth of a new continent through volcanic
upheaval.
It drives upward from the floor of our
being,
requiring a transposition of everything that has gone before
to make room for its new organizational patterns.
The great difficulty I have is describing the enormity of
what is being birthed.
The true focus of this creative
process is not individuals but all humanity. It is actually
trying to reawaken the entire species.
What is emerging is
a
consciousness of unprecedented proportions, the entire human
species integrated into a unified field of awareness.
The
species reconnected with its fundamental nature.
Our
thoughts tuned to
Source Consciousness.
Having moved beyond
linear time into "Deep Time", I experienced this both as a
projected destiny and also as a realized actuality.
It was
simultaneously something to be accomplished and something
already accomplished.
This quantum jump in our evolutionary
status precipitated a wholesale reorganisation of global
culture.
It
signaled a turning-point that would forever
divide the human story into the before and after of THE
GREAT AWAKENING.
I saw humanity climbing out of a valley and just ahead, on
the other side of the mountain peak and beyond our present
sight, was a brilliant, sun-drenched world that was about to
break over us.
The time frame was enormous.
After millions
of years of struggle and ascent, we were poised on the brink
of a sunrise that would forever change the conditions of
life on this planet.
All current structures would quickly
become irrelevant.
All truths would quickly be rendered
passé.
Truly a new epoch was dawning.
The lives of everyone
living on the edge of this pivotal time in history had been
helping to bring about this global shift.
As I witnessed the scene, I saw that though we did not know
the deep future at a personal level, there was a more
encompassing level of awareness that could see it very
clearly.
This was a deeply moving and clarifying experience.
Just as we ask our children to do all sorts of difficult
tasks that they do not understand yet that we know will be
important to their future, there was likewise a "parental
intelligence" that had set a task for humanity knowing what
was just around the corner for it.
We individual humans
could not see what was coming and so did not understand why
things were at the way they were.
Yet isolated from the
future, the present makes absolutely no sense.
To be
ignorant of the future would be to be functionally blind,
and our species is not blind.
There is an intelligence
within it, guiding it, that knows the future and is
preparing us for it as systematically as we prepare our
homes for the changes of the seasons.
I could not see the specifics of what the future held.
What
I experienced was overwhelming light and bliss, and though
these may sound disappointingly vague, they in fact revealed
more to me than any details possibly could.
I knew the
brilliant light to be the radiance of enlightenment and the
bliss was the joy of liberation.
The human species was
poised on the brink of a profound and inclusive spiritual
Awakening...!
