A friend of mine in Africa once told me a story about how he was becoming an elder in his village in West Africa.
There were many complex rituals and ceremonies with meditation and prayers, and it was very intense for him. On the seventeenth day of one particular ritual, as he was doing his inner work he could hear the voice of Nature.
He suddenly understood the language of the birds and the trees, and the animals in the forest. And he heard the voice of the Earth, and the voice told him that the planet is becoming more conscious and its vibration is being lifted to a whole new frequency.
This information has now been corroborated by quantum physics and by kinesiological testing –the planet is now vibrating at a higher frequency.
And then we have the understanding that there are some evolutionary triggers going on on the planet right now. There is the high pollution that’s in the air, the soil, the rivers. There are wars and rumors of wars, there’s disenfranchisement, there’s disease and disharmony on the planet.
All of this serves as a kind of trigger, backing humanity up against the wall. The only way that we are going to make it through is to raise our collective vibration. And our vibration IS being lifted – through prayer, through right focus, intentionality, right action, right resolve.
It is through our spiritual practices that we are becoming more conscious, more awake, and more able to withstand the changes taking place on both individual and collective levels.
The truth is that you have God’s image in you, God’s nature in you. And that you are here to activate the nature of God, to reveal it in your life and as you, to represent it here on Earth so that not only will you be able to stand the vicissitudes of the evolutionary triggers that are on the planet at this particular time in human history, but that you will become the representation of the presence of God on Earth, revealing the next stage of human evolution.
And that next phase of human evolution will be about surrendering your life to wholeness, to love, to beauty, to excellence. You will not longer be afraid of losing anything, because you will be realized in the fullness of God’s perfection, the presence that heals all blockages both internal and external, both personal and for all of humanity on our planet.
