In my writing, workshops, and retreats, I ofter share the following perspective. Further down I will explain how this extends into the collective awakening:

Your life, the details and exact configuration of your life and your world is exactly what is required to propel you into an enlightened (self-illuminated) state of Being.

The details of your life you find most difficult do not stand in the way of your liberation and enlightenment. Rather they are the very basis and foundation of your liberation and enlightenment. What you might consider to be your faults, mistakes, and errors are not preventing you from experiencing liberation and cosmic consciousness. Rather these apparent “faults” (et cetera) are the very source of your liberation. It is not a question of eliminating these attributes from your world in order to be free and happy. It is, I say, a question of discovering how you can approach your life — exactly as it is, right now — in such a way that you step out of the roles of active and passive resistance, and into a role conscious participation. Even the advent of making this step into the role of conscious participation is part of the unfolding perfection. It is a leap in consciousness, and it is inevitable.

Collective Awakening and the New World

What I have shared above is a snapshot of something I explore at length in some of my workshops. What I am about to share is something I’ve only touched on briefly in a few of my recent seminars on “2012 and the Collective Awakening”. Here I am going to attempt putting it into writing.

What I have just shared also applies to the entire Earth and the world of Man / Humanity.

Take into account all that you know about the world as it stands right now. The environmental challenges; the economic corruption; the global debt and bankruptcy; the energy crisis; the wars constantly being fought in the Middle East, in Africa, and elsewhere; the constant threat of nuclear holocaust; the recent nuclear disaster in Japan; the massive amounts of pollution in the air, water, and land; the greed; the earthquakes in Christchurch (New Zealand); the exponential rise in disease in all forms; and every other challenge humanity faces. We can add to this all the other factors at play today which have a more positive quality, such as: the massive rise in social networking and the sharing of empowering information online; huge numbers of people waking up to new and empowering awareness; life-giving social, economic, and environment movements of many kinds; and huge increased interest in personal and spiritual development; and much more.  All of this, according to my experience of Life, is The Perfection unfolding. This is the primordial swamp of our times out of which a completely new form of Life is emerging. A new humanity. A new world.

We are the midwives of this new world. First and foremost we are mid-wifing the birth of the Divine Kernel within our own Heart of Hearts. The Beloved I AM Presence. The Christos — Christ Consciousness. We can go through this birth in a way that is unconscious and haphazard, or we can take a leap into birthing consciously. Just as today many parents choose to give birth through c-section and under anaesthetics which I would describe as an unconscious way to birth a child. We too can choose to birth ourself in an unconscious way. Yet parents can also choose to birth in a new way, with the conscious participation and support of mother, father, mid-wife, and family. Birth need not be a struggle and riddled with pain. In general when we are emotionally clear and healed, birthing is ecstatic, even orgasmic.

Our own body is ecstatic, in a constant state of bliss. Whether we experience that bliss or experience pain and discomfort is in general a question of whether or not we are participating in life, as expressed and made manifest through our body, consciously or unconsciously.

The challenges Man is facing today are the very foundation of global liberation — the birthing of the New World.

So we are first and foremost birthing our of Divine Self, and yet in doing this we are also birthing the New World at a collective level. This New World is being born, right now. Ready or not. With or without our conscious input.

Taking the above information to heart, a few things become clear.

Most importantly, there is no cause for despair. The old world is meant to break down. The old world is meant to collapse into chaos. This is the law of entropy at effect. Yet operating behind or along side the law of entropy, in the unseen realms, is the Law of Life. Life is constantly giving rise to greater and greater expressions of Life. This does not occur in a way that appears to or is even noticed by our rational linear thinking mind. New expressions of Life are seemingly a random mutation of the old forms of Life. I say “seemingly” because this force of mutation—this evolutionary leap—occurs behind the veil of popular perception. We can feel it. We can align with it. We can even consciously participate in it, but our ordinary eyes can not see it in the way we usually speak of seeing.

What also becomes clear is we don’t need hope at this time, for even this implies doubt and fear. It is not a question of having hope for the world. Beyond hope is heartfelt knowing. It is this knowing that will hold us consciously within the Grace and Perfection. We step into this knowing when we step with our attention into our own interiority — the spaciousness within us, the Life moving through our Being — and when we connect with the Earth around us through the Heart. The Earth around us is us. It’s not by chance the world EARTH and HEART are an anagram of each other. This body in which you currently appear to exist within emerged from the Earth you perceive to be around you. It is a very unique and specific expression of the Earth. Keep in mind also that this Earth arose in the greater Universe. Thus it is that Universe. There is no separation. Your body is the Universe. It is just that most of us have come to identify with one very specific portion of that Universe—the portion you refer to as “my body”—and in doing so we separate from the rest of the Universe. This separation is only a question of a perception. Reunion with Life and the Universe (as one manifestation in the form-side of Life) is as simple and as complex as a shift of perception.

Welcome to the Collective Awakening.

With heart,
