From the ashes of global tyranny, a new awakened Earth is arising – how do we find our role in this epochal transition?

We are faced with a tremendous challenge today, the likes of which we have never seen before. Every day more and more people are waking up to the fact that we are in the midst of a global techno-totalitarian takeover, designed by billionaire elites at the top of the power structure to strip us all of our rights and freedoms and install themselves in total control, justified by the health and environmental crises that they themselves are creating.

Cowed by fear and panic, many went along with what they were told four years ago, but many are now seeing the consequences – to our lives, our livelihoods, our health and our freedoms – and are wondering what they can do to stop this agenda, protect themselves and their loved ones, and start to build alternatives reclaiming our true power, sovereignty and well-being.

As I see it, this requires both a change in inner consciousness and corresponding outer action to change the systems by which we are living. A quantum leap at both these levels – inner and outer – is needed, not just one or the other. Some think they are mutually exclusive – either we change our inner consciousness, or we engage in outer action (spiritual and holistic types often insist on the inner only, activists on the outer) but in fact, they are complementary, mutual necessary, if we are to transform both ourselves and the world we live in. Our personal awakening is intimately connected with our collective awakening, and not only our awakening but our very survival at this point (as free beings, or even human beings at all!) depends upon transforming our world and the systems we live by.

Facing and Embracing Our Shadows, Personal and Collective: The Alchemical Transformation of Darkness into Light

The shift in consciousness happening today is often referred to as “ascension” – tuning into higher dimensions (often called “5-D”) beyond this visible 3-D plane. To do this, we are often told to turn our attention away from the 3-D crises, and not try directly to change them, because it drags us down into lower consciousness, creating anger, fear or anxiety, feeding off our energy and adding to its own (the what-you-fight-you-become, what-you-resist-persists principle.) Yet this can also be a spiritual by-pass, or just plain denial – transcend it, or ignore it, and it will just go away.  This dualistic dismissal of the need for outer action is of course tempting and convenient, but the reality is far more nuanced, and likewise requires a more nuanced response.

For this reason, I prefer to think of the shift in consciousness required as consciousness “expansion” (moving through all dimensions and transmuting them) rather than “ascension” (rising above the lower dimensions into the higher). Our consciousness expands to higher dimensions, not by just jumping over the lower, but boldly acknowledging and embracing them within the scope of its action and powers of transformation.

It is critical that we do not shy away from the lower frequencies, or darkness, operating in our 3-D world, but face them, penetrate them and transmute them, liberating their energies through the powers of higher consciousness to bring in whole new potentials.

In this way, we change the world without from within, because we contain within us access to the Whole and its infinite powers. Our connection with the highest frequencies of Source Consciousness empowers action and transmutation into new forms of manifestation aligned with those highest frequencies. This is an alchemical transformation, including and transmuting the shadows and darkness within ourselves and our world into the light that is our true nature, and that of all Creation.

Shamans and yogic masters have always worked this way. Today the opening between the spiritual level (universal light or Consciousness) and material levels are growing wider, so that even the more ordinary among us can start to move through them more freely. This means, under pressure of the crises, we can access levels of consciousness (and openings between those levels) previously beyond our reach. And we can bring the powers of those dimensions into this one, using ourselves as a bridge. We stand, in and as, a rite of passage, between a past that is collapsing and a luminous future, far brighter than we can imagine.

Everything is Projected from the Unity, and Returns to It

Shadows and darkness cannot exist without the light of consciousness; though they seem to have departed from that light, it is their Source and true nature. This is true of everything in the realm of duality, the realm of apparent materiality and separation: nothing exists without its opposite, to give it form and definition, but in truth all those oppositions are simply projected from their Source in unity, undivided light, and in truth have never left it. Like the events in a dream, the shadows and darkness in this life, personal and collective, are simply expressions of this light of universal Consciousness, the light that we truly are.

By shining our light on the darkness, and through it, we can transmute it back into that light. This is as true of our own personal darkness, or psychological shadows, as it is of our collective and planetary ones – which are often only a reflection of our own, writ large. The worst in human nature, in ourselves and the collective, has risen to the surface today, to be displayed, in all its horrors, before us, and dispelled and purified, back into the light. When we are re-connected with the light of our true nature, we will become vessels for another world, a radiant new Earth of love and unity, benevolence, grace and transfiguration.

Three Levels of Our Being: Consciousness, Energy and Matter

We human beings, like all of Creation, exist on three levels: consciousness, energy and matter. Consciousness projects itself out as a spectrum of infinite energy frequencies, visible and invisible, a range of which appears as the “material world” of physical bodies and the objects they perceive. This is the 3-D perceptual bandwidth that so many take as all that exists, but in fact it is only a very limited bandwidth in the range of infinite possibilities projected from Universal Consciousness. Not only that, we are that Universal Consciousness projecting the appearance of that 3-D world; our bodies and the “reality” they perceive are in fact only one of myriad possibilities we, as pure Consciousness, could be projecting.

Take a deep breath, and take that in. Our bodies, minds and physical world are just the tip of the iceberg of who and what we really are. Who and what we really are is pure unconditioned Consciousness, with the power of infinite creation. This means we can use our energy to melt down that iceberg and, from the pool of infinite potential, create another reality we prefer – in this case, moving from a world in crisis to one in sacred alignment with its Source, reflecting the beauty and harmony of its own true nature.

Riding the Spectrum from Inner Vision and Intention to Outer Manifestation

In the spectrum of consciousness-energy-matter, the energetic level is the bridge, by which consciousness is transmuted to matter, and matter back again into pure Consciousness, the Source of all potential. Energy is thus a two-way bridge, both the medium through which old forms of manifestation melt back down into the pure potentials of Consciousness, and can be projected out again as new forms, preferably those of greater coherence.

When we meditate or otherwise explore our inner terrain through holistic techniques of introspection or interoception, we actually start to experience our bodies as energetic vibrations, literally “flow”, and not the solid objects they appear to be. We also begin to experience their connections with the larger energetic fields around them. We are part of a vast, interconnected web of energy of all life on the Earth and Cosmos, which in turn is an expression of the unified source of Consciousness, to which we have direct access through the heart or core of our being. We are all nodes of a holographic Cosmos, through which we can open up both to the immutable Source of Creation and the infinite potentials it radiates.

Once we can tap into and directly experience this energetic level of our being, we have accessed the key for transformation, both our own and our shared, collective fields of manifestation. The more we can transmute our own fixed patterns and shadows into energy, flow and new light, the more energy is liberated through us to flow into new forms, personally and collectively. In this way we can transmute the shadows and obstructions of our old 3-D world into the far higher frequencies of the 5-D world that is now emerging.

This means the 5-D world is not another place, another location in time or space, but another bandwidth of energy, perception and creation. The connection with this bandwidth has always been latent within us but is now bumped up to higher evolutionary level of activation, and in turn bumps up the potentials within the quantum field to a new, higher-frequency level of manifestation. In fact the two are never separate: we ourselves are an energetic expression of the quantum field, which itself is an expression of pure unconditioned Consciousness, the unified Source of Creation.

The evolution of the Cosmos flows through us, and our own evolution flows through the Cosmos; we are always, inextricably, interconnected with the Whole. This is true whether or not we see it, but when we do it up-levels our power to a whole new order. We become co-creators with the Source, flowing freely with its guidance and inspiration. The more we offer ourselves up to it, the greater the potentials it offers us, transmitting its grace and power through us, our vision and our actions.

Seeing through the Eyes of Light Jumpstarts All around Us to a Higher Energetic Level; As We See It, So It Becomes

When our perception is flowing from the Source of light in our hearts, it overflows into the world around us, suffusing it with that light and warmth, melting its hard edges into new potentials. We learn to see with the eyes of potential, the future, rather than boxing people and things into the calcified forms of the past. We learn to see the whole spectrum of possibilities with each person or situation before us, and, infusing them with the activating energy of our love, draw that possibility forward into present manifestation.

We can do this in our everyday lives, with the people and situations around us, and also with the bigger collective challenges facing our planet. Even as we practice in the domain immediately around us – our home, family, work place, community – it holographically amplifies this energy of love, communion and renewed potential, in a ripple effect, into the larger society and planetary levels, communicating these higher frequencies into all dimensions around us. The effects might not be seen immediately, but there is no doubt that eventually the groundswell caused by a critical mass of us doing this will effect a quantum leap to another consciousness, and another world that reflects it.

Energizing the Front Lines of Action through Inner Vision and Focused Intention

We, as a collective, need to work on all levels of transformation, inner and outer, but none of us, obviously, can do everything at once; in a synergistic collaboration, each of us finds our own role, according to our passions and talents, to contribute to the Whole, while respecting and supporting the importance of the roles of others. While inner work underlies the power of outer work and transformation, both support and enhance each other, in a reciprocal and mutually enriching cycle.

It is vital that we not see the inner as more important than the outer, or vice versa, but rather how they work together for the good of us all. People working on the inner levels of consciousness and energy, for instance, rather than seeing outer action as misguided or a waste of time, can energize the vital work of those on the front lines of action with the power of their affirmation, vision, meditation and focused intention. People acting on the outer levels can also recognize and receive the support and power lent to them by those working at the inner levels. In this way, the very division between inner and outer, as well as the division between people working at those levels, falls away, giving rise to the seamless unity that is actually our true nature, and the nature of all creation.

This is another name for co-creation. If everything is connected through the unified field, then everything we do affects each other. This can be for better or worse, depending on whether we see through the eyes of unity, or of division, though the eyes of light and wholeness, or the blinkered shadow-world of duality and separation. Just as we have co-created this world that is now in such extreme crisis by our misperceptions of separation, so we can co-create a world of beauty, love and regeneration, by seeing from, and acting from, our true essence of light and unity.

The forces of darkness in our world are fuel for the fire of our transformation. There is a tremendous gift in these crises, taking us back home. The portal is wide open now. It is up to us to open to it from our side. Then all sides and all separation dissolve into our true freedom, as we awaken from the dream that can no longer keep us captive.

Shifting Unconscious Coping Strategies into Conscious, Effective Lines of Action

It is natural that we do not want to face forces of darkness, much less take on the effort of transmuting them. In fact, the more threatening they are, the more likely we are to try to pretend they don’t exist, adopting unconscious defense mechanisms to fend off or cope with their overwhelming nature. Some of the positions we adopt, depending on our level of knowledge about the globalist agenda, and our level of psychological resilience, include:

  1. Simply following the mainstream narrative and obeying what is said with questioning

  2. Though one has doubts, continuing to obey, for fear of losing the approval of friends, family, and colleagues; and the psychological fear of challenging the collective consensus of reality, shaking up the very ground of one’s worldview and identity

  3. Actually knowing the agenda, and acknowledgingthe truth of its existence, but believing it is inevitable, and falling into powerlessness, complacency, despair, paralyzing fear or rage (suppressed, expressed or displaced)

  4. Actually knowing the agenda, but continuing on in one’s daily life as if everything is normal, in psychological denial or through constant distraction. Looking away from the problems, in order to “stay positive”, “neutral”, or not take sides

  5. Actually knowing the agenda, but believing the only effective solutions are “inner” – ie, changing one’s consciousness, through stress relaxation, trauma release, shadow work and other holistic methods, techniques for “ascension”, or more classical spiritual “awakening”

  6. Knowing the agenda, and using private “outer” solutions to protect oneself and one’s family: eg, prepping, converting one’s money to cryptocurrencies or precious metals, privatizing one’s technological devices, extricating oneself from the legal system through natural or common law

  7. Knowing the agenda, and using “outer” solutions to get off the grid or “exit and build”: eg, forming communities, growing one’s own food, sourcing one’s own energy, homeschooling children, etc.

  8. Knowing the agenda, and using public “outer” solutions to expose it, challenge it and bring it down: eg, legal and political means, such as wide-spread alternative media exposure, protests, lawsuits, political campaigns, etc.

  9. Knowing the agenda, and combining both inner and outer solutions: inner consciousness-change at the spiritual, energetic or psychological levels, with outer change at the ecological, economic, political and planetary/Cosmic levels. Knowing that transformation at all these levels is essential, and consciously combining our efforts in co-creative, collaborative alliances and movements

  10. Knowing the agenda and, along with 5) to 9), continuing to push the evolutionary edge of consciousness, exploring the intricate relationship between our inner and outer realities, and leveraging our inner, quantum powers to transform our current dystopian reality into an awakened new Earth of caring, communion and revelation. This includes emerging new revelations about the true history of humanity and our place in the Cosmos

 

Exploring where we are in this spectrum of positions can be revealing. How much resistance, and how much openness, do we have in this time of shifting realities? The more we can open to new possibilities, the faster and more expansive our transformation, individually and collectively. It is time to liberate the energies bound up so long in our shadows and defenses, and become open vessels for the highest potentials of creation to flow through us at this extraordinary moment in our personal and planetary destiny.
