Getting Our Shift Together

What on Earth is Happening?!
Many of our most revered and ancient prophecies have long pointed to a future time of great transformation. A time of upheaval in which human society would be shaken to its core, confronted with changes so fundamental they would challenge the very foundations of our collective existence.
Well, we can no longer wait for what’s to come, as the time foretold by our prophets no longer lies ahead of us…The time of great awakening is upon us.
It is here, and it is Now.
While much of the world remains absorbed in the visual chaos of our age, a quieter, more subtle awakening has been steadily unfolding. Just beneath the surface of human consciousness stirs a gentle but insistent call for our attention.
Some have labeled this time the New Age, though there’s nothing truly new about it. What we’re referring to as the ‘new earth’ has existed since the dawn of creation -- an original blueprint woven into the very fabric of existence.
A world of beauty, perfect order, and divine intelligence. A world intimately known to our indigenous ancestors, who, through innate wisdom and quiet observation, came to understand its rhythms, honor its cycles, and live not in opposition to its nature, but in sacred harmony with it.
Even now, when the tension on the surface is impossible to ignore, the world known by our ancestors remains ever-present, ever-ready, patiently awaiting the moment when humankind has developed the sensitivity required to remember its truth, despite all appearances.
Throughout the ages, a rare few have glimpsed into this hidden world, and many devoted their lives to revealing its truth. But time and time again, instead of listening, the masses have ridiculed, even crucified those who dare speak of its reality.
The soul may long for this world, though the mind, unready, simply cannot comprehend its existence --and a closed mind has no choice but to reject what it is unwilling to question.
And still, despite all that we have done, all the suffering that comes by way of humanities own hand, this world whispers to us. Softly urging us to remember that it does, indeed exist.
This world, the kingdom of heaven, has always been ours, awaiting only our participation in its deliverance--our willingness to see above and beyond the veiled world of duality, and into the unified consciousness offered to us by Christ, and the many other ascended masters who accompany that level of awareness.
Even now, this world extends its hand to meet our own, calling out to us.
Some hidden part of us can sense the invitation, otherwise we wouldn’t be drawn to these words.
The question remains…will we delay, or will we choose to answer the call?
Some might say that say that today’s chaotic climate is nothing new--that humanity has always weathered upheaval, war and peace, innovation and industrialization, and it’s true, change has forever been life’s only constant.
Yet, I believe the present moment offers something uniquely profound, perhaps even existential, a crossroads of transformation that could signal the end… or possibly… the beginning of life as we know it.
What we choose to do in this moment matters.
And that choice becomes easier to make when we recognize there have only ever been two.
Reality is singular, but it is perceived through a dual lens of human experience.
As human perception colors our experiences through the lens of good or bad, right or wrong, pleasure or pain we often find ourselves chasing the proverbial pendulum as it swings between polarity. In trying to categorize and divide our perceptions, we fall under the delusion that we can separate ourselves from the totality of oneness.
The moment a belief in separation creeps into our consciousness, it begins to erode the very bedrock of our true, undivided spiritual essence. And from that distortion, arises all of human suffering. Once the illusion of a separate self has taken root, life begins to unfold along one of two paths: the path of fear, or the journey home to love.
This very moment in time offers us a unique and precious opportunity for inward reflection--
Which path are we paving with the steps that we take?
On the path of fear, a living world of unity becomes a battleground of competing interests. The earth is no longer our mother, but a resource to be extracted. Where one may have once seen a brother, they now see a rival. Fear becomes the architect of our choices as we take up arms against one another, if not physically, then psychologically.
We learn to protect ourselves at all costs. Clinging.
Grasping.
Controlling.
Lashing out first because we can’t stomach the vulnerability of standing face to face with how we really feel inside.
We double down, and reinforce the inner walls that keep others at a distance.
And in our longing to be safe, we forget how to be free.
Choosing the path of love shatters the walls built by a prison of fear.
Love is not so much a path of learning as its one of remembering, though along the way, you’ll undoubtedly deepen in wisdom as you return to the Self you’ve always known.
Love reminds us that we cannot thrive in isolation, that beneath all our differences, we are more alike than not, each of us longing for the same thing-- to be free from suffering.
Love offers the invitation to cease contribution towards the worlds suffering, and instead become an instrument for divine change. Becoming one who disarms with compassion, making space for others to lay down their weapons and remember how to live a better, truer life.
Love isn’t a feeling, it’s a frequency.
And from it, something compelling arises—to tend what truly matters:
To care for the body as a vessel of life,
The earth as our shared home,
and one another as reflections of the same source.
What begins as a discipline naturally evolves into a devotion, not through force, but through alignment with what is real.
And so, my prayer is this:
That when humanity ripens to the point of surrender, let it not be in defeat, but in devotion to Love.
To a better world.
A world that already exists,
And is quietly waiting for us to become willing vessels through which it may finally be born.
🕊️💗🙏🏼
