A WORLD IN TRANSITION
We find ourselves in a very important time, uncertain times, a time of great reshaping.
The message I wish to share is that this is very good news.
As history demonstrates time and time again, humans are notoriously asleep in times of comfort. Our consciousness is so easily caught in the dream of Maya.
Yet unlike the fleeting decades of material and social stability, when what is real and true may be easily determined, times like this are an incredibly fertile atmosphere within which the transformation of human consciousness can take place.
When we can no longer determine what is true and what is not, the only way forward is to come back to one’s self.
...and ask the deeper questions.
The time us come for us as a collective to return inwards, to look inside for the answers to questions we have. Beyond that we must learn to trust.
What is being asked of us now is that we learn to trust ourselves.
For too long we have been told about our limitations as humans, now is the time to awaken to our true multidimensional nature and reclaim our sovereignty in all ways.
Now is the time to trust ourselves and our deeper knowing. Now is the time to trust the process, even when it looks really dark.
Especially when it looks really dark, we must learn to trust.
After all, what is a butterfly is not a caterpillar beyond it's wildest dreams?

The truth is that a better society will only arise through the evolution of the individual.
This is because society is made up of millions of individuals.
To count to a million, one has to start with number one, which means one has to start with the individual, the only real place one can actually begin to change something.
This doesn't mean putting oneself first in an egotistical way, but rather it involves our coming to understand the condition of the whole of humanity through understanding our own experience.
With this experience as our guide, we will know how to behave with awareness in any circumstance in every type of society.

Western Science is approaching a paradigm shift of unprecedented proportions, one that will change our concepts of reality and of human nature, bridge the gap between ancient wisdom and modern science, and reconcile the differences between Eastern spirituality and Western pragmatism.
