I began
to experience states of arousal, anxiety, crisis,
breakthrough, and a new beginning, but as a species
experiences these things, not an individual person.
It was
how the entire human species would experience this if it
were a single, integrated organism.
I began
to realize that "in me" were the experiences of countless
human beings.
The
levels of arousal I was experiencing were ascending waves
within the collective unconscious, and these waves were
building up and breaking within me!
It was
like being able to experience a thunderstorm all at once,
with every drop registering individually but subsumed into
the patterns of the storm as a whole.
In time I began to realize that I was being allowed to
experience some of the inner workings of the species that
would be unfolding in response to events taking place over
the next several decades, perhaps the next hundred years.
As these
developments take place, people will think that they are
being overtaken by events outside themselves, but in fact it
is the Divinity drawing forth from within Itself the
naturalization of new capacities that will be species-wide.
In
earlier sessions I had glimpsed the
historical transition
humanity was making.
Today I
was taken inside this transition and given the feeling of it
from deep within the collective consciousness of the
species, framed within the surrounding consciousness of the
Creative Intelligence.
I came
away from the session exhausted from the knowledge of what
lies ahead, exhausted from having felt the fear that
humanity will feel as our world crumbles around us,
and
exhilarated by the new forms that are emerging...!
The core scenario.
Amidst a field of relative calm, a small
anxiety began to grow. Slowly more and more persons were
looking up and becoming alarmed.
Like
persons living on an island (before modern weather
forecasting) who gradually became aware that a hurricane is
overtaking them, humanity was gradually
waking up with alarm
to events that had overtaken it.
Conditions got worse and worse...
People
became more and more alarmed as the danger increased,
forcing them to let go of their assumptions at deeper and
deeper levels.
The
world as they knew it was falling apart.
Decades were
compressed into minutes, and I felt their alarm deepen as
they lost more and more of what they had considered the
'normal' and 'necessary' structures of their world.
Step-by-step, events were forcing a rapid reassessment of
everything in their lives.
The
events that had overtaken Earth were of such scope that no
one could insulate themselves from them.
The
level of alarm grew in the species field until eventually
everyone was forced into the melting-pot of mere survival...
We were
all in this together.
Families were torn apart, parents were torn from
children and children from each other.
Life
as we had known it was shattered at the core.
We
were reduced to simply trying to survive.
For a
time it looked as though like we would all be killed, but
just then, when the storm was at its peak, the worst of the
storm passed over and the danger slowly subsided.
Though
many had died, many were still alive.
As the survivors began
to find each other, new social units began to form.
Parents
and children from different families joined to form new
types of families.
Everywhere new social institutions sprang into being that
reflected our new reality-new ways of thinking, new values
that we had discovered within ourselves during the crisis.
Every
aspect of our lives was marked by new priorities, new
perceptions of the good, new truths.
These
new social forms reflected new states of awareness that
seemed to spread through the survivors like a positive
contagion.
These
social forms then fed back into the system to elicit still
newer states of awareness in individuals, and the cycle of
creativity between individual and group spiralled.
The whole system was becoming alive at new levels, and this
aliveness was expressing itself in previously impossible
ways.
It was
as if the eco-crisis had myelinized connections in the
species - a mind, allowing new and deeper levels of
self-awareness to spring into being.
Repeatedly there was the message:
"these things will happen much faster than anyone can
anticipate because of the hyper-arousal of the
species-mind."
Thousands of fractal images drove this lesson home again and
again.
"Faster than anyone can anticipate."
The pace
of the past was irrelevant to the pace of the future.
The new
forms that were emerging were not temporary fluctuations but
permanent psychological and social structures that marked
the next evolutionary step in our long journey toward
self-activated awareness.
The
entire process seemed to be being driven by strange
attractors that were rapidly drawing the system into new
patterns of self-configuration.
The time of rebuilding was suffused with an inner luminosity
that signalled a profound awakening within the human heart.
It was
not the overwhelming brilliance of diamond luminosity that
shines forth from individual awakening, but a softer
luminosity that reflected the same reality but more gently
present and more evenly distributed throughout the entire
species.
The
whole of humanity was going to go through the 'death-rebirth
experience,' and the substance of awakening for the group was
the same as for the individual, though realized more slowly
and in smaller increments.
One scenario put the matter in theological terms.
We were
entering a period of "grace" in which the "sins" of the past
could be set aside en masse.
We did
not have to expiate them linearly but could surrender them
whole if we would but open ourselves to the forces that were
moving powerfully in the present to recreate our lives.
In a
blending of Western and Eastern mythologies, I saw the
present generations as carrying the fall karmic burden of
our prior evolutionary limits.
I saw
that the entire system was poised for a profound revision of
those limits and that we who were part of this transition
could actually free humanity from its past simply by
enduring and responding deeply to the challenges of this
radical transition.
Collective karma was being cleared exponentially.
This time
of great purification was a time of great grace.
History is becoming psychedelic.
Time is
becoming increasingly concentrated; developments are
unfolding exponentially.
The past
is rapidly catching up with us; debts put off for
generations are coming due; a new beginning approaches.
The
ecological crisis will precipitate a death-rebirth
confrontation that will shatter our psycho-spiritual
isolation and bring forward an awakening of common ground
within years.
I saw
that once we made this painful transition we would discover
that all was gain.
Nothing essential had been lost.
We would
look with amazement at the depth of ignorance that had set
us on a course of self-decimation, and we would long not at
all for that past.
All was
gain, all was gain...
