THERE IS A WAVE GATHERING MOMENTUM...

There is a wave rippling around the world right now and it is growing in strength - fast. I believe this will continue but sadly there will be more grief before the tipping point is reached and some of our unhelpful habits are dispatched to evolve into historical curiosities (the same way many cultural practices have been over time).

From my view this is just part of the process of we humans ‘activating our superpowers’, but whatever language you use it is pretty difficult to deny the mounting evidence that our consciousness is expanding. Even so, the new growth is still commonly seen as a threat to that which exists today instead of the magnificent opportunity it truly heralds if only we could all see it together. It might seem like we are changing, but in my view we are simply awakening to more and more of what we can be, and realizing we must change our ways in order to be free to enjoy what is on offer. If we can’t let go of the wharf, we can hardly cross the ocean! The fake psychological comfort blanket that is our ego (albeit helpful), is not a patch on the adventures that await us.

Here's my take on some of the growing edges we face:

  • Because of our global connectedness via the internet, we can be much more aware of things happening in places far away from us. For example a group of brutish men can no longer expect to subject a woman to barbaric acts and not be vilified internationally. Political Will is having its hand forced by international awareness and outrage. Collective intolerance for attempting to use culture to scare humans from becoming educated is gathering strength fast too. This intolerance transcends national, religious and cultural boundaries. The opportunity is ahead for something entirely different based on how humans treat women and children. It does not have to be scary to honour women and children properly. There is something inherently offensive about the abuse humans subject each other to.
  • Some ideas frozen in time that emerged in a very different context can no longer stand – they must evolve just as the oldest tree with the deepest roots will be uprooted by a strong enough wind. We don’t refer to ‘winds of change’ for nothing. If ideas cannot evolve, rigidity sets in. Rigidity is unsustainable because Creation has no ‘off’ switch. The rule is co-operate, or become irrelevant. Flexible thinking is vital in order to thrive in today’s world and this will be so in tomorrow’s world too. By being flexible in our thinking – we can do anything! THAT is thrilling!
  • As humans see the freedoms other humans enjoy, they are going to naturally seek those freedoms for themselves. This is particularly true of men and women in developing countries today. Nothing and no-one can stop this. We cannot 'un-see' what we have seen, and we cannot be kept asleep when its time to wake up. It's the nature of our nature.
  • Women in particular are beginning to mobilize in ways we have never been able to before the internet. We are connecting with each other to take a stand and advocate for a more peaceful, loving, and sane world, in which we seek ways to live more harmoniously. Whatever your interest, there is a women’s’ group collaborating around that idea and more are sprouting every day. Could less aggression and more love in the world be harmful to anyone or anything really?
  • It is time to grow out of our power struggles with each other and learn to coordinate and collaborate to solve the problems that affect us all. Our problems could unite us (if we let them). This is a 'moment of possibility' for Humanity. We now know beyond doubt that the relationship between us and the environment is alive, organic and influenced by the interaction of us both. We have shown our power to influence our environment, now we must learn to respond to the results.
  • Young people in particular are awakening to the outrageous greed and waste perpetuated by societies that measure their success on how much is consumed, when planetary resources are being depleted much faster than they can be replenished (observable and measureable fact). The creative genius of youth is applying itself to new solutions. It is incumbent on us all to pay attention to the world our young people want to foster.
  • Raising baby humans shapes human destiny and has languished as a ‘lesser than’ role when it needs to be elevated to the most VITAL AND VALUED role of all. Communities and societies that get this right and prioritise early brain development (that flourishes in a safe and loving environment) will reap the rewards in a very short time. Those that go even further and empower the carers of baby humans, will accelerate the process even more. We could change Humanity in a single generation if we just applied what the science now tells us about baby brain development and set about making sure all children got the best start possible.
  • Sharing a meaningful purpose with others and working together towards that which uplifts us and our environment is becoming more and more appealing and compelling. Many of us are seeking new visions of our positive potential as we look further down the road of our current behaviour and have the guts to see where that leads. That things have gotten to this point is now pushing people to take the leap and choose their destiny.

If you are noticing yourself feeling world weary in the face of ‘negative news’…if you are despairing at the state of human relations, the degradation of women, the waste of resources, and all the other negatives we live with today, take heart because the wave of LOVE is growing.

Our higher natures are calling to us through the crises and emboldening us to speak up and share what is in our hearts. So add your voice and your gifts to the mix – your species needs you to stand up for it. Stand for what you believe in. Know you are one among many and the many is growing in numbers.

Our species is being called to evolve now or continue on a path that will impact the world in ways that might make it very, very difficult to come back from. It might not be in your lifetime but if you care at all about your children’s children, (they could be walking the planet in your lifetime) we must start taking more responsibility NOW.

Climate change must be addressed. We are going to have to learn to adapt to changes in our environment. INTERNAL climate change must become a human priority too. Together we can affect change in ways we never can on our own. Bring love in out of the cold and make it central to all we do and decide and we might just reach our highest potential, individually and together.

One of my more private favourite sayings is ‘The Goddess is alive, and magic is afoot’. This magic is in the air right now.

Say YES to your own internal climate change and you will make magic of your own.

And that’s it, from my view. Have a great month as you ‘winter’ in the southern hemisphere and ‘summer’ in the north.
