Thanks for sharing such a heartwarming story. When that basic instinct, that is so good, gets tapped in disasters, it shows us what is possible. I see the crop circles being able to move us, as more humble people, into one peaceful conversation, where we could be experiencing the sense of oneness that we so need. As we change our understanding, to where we sense we are people, we are in more fertile ground for love to flourish than when we are struggling to survive in opposition to one another.

I’d see this as a conversation rather than a conflict. Trying to “make sense of these times,” after what this blog is called.

I don’t see what’s contradictory. We are one and we are many. The emphasis now is on one, and needs to rebalance. I don’t relate to New World Order. I think of a new worldview. Personal good without regard for the good of the whole is what must give way. It’s a change of mind for all people. And indeed it may be to remember something we have forgotten in moving beyond our indigenous roots.

Tell me if I have not understood you.

You are so right about this Shift being on a whole other level from the things I pointed to. Not comparable to anything that has come before. And must keep tuning ourselves in — mass movement couldn’t happen otherwise. Love your last paragraph. Everything you say is profound.

“It is about being in flow with All That Is,” as you say on your site. Will delve further to get the scope of what you are up to.

We are sensing that somehow there is an ongoing social trend of change in the world. What represents the material aspect of the western culture is in crisis. This is making us look for answers and also demand solutions. At the same time we are leaving the spiritual fatigue that consumption brings to our spirits. I think, as you well have said, that we’re experiencing the first stage of a global political awakening that will be followed by a global spiritual awakening. Can we deny the major problems that humanity is facing now? I don’t think so. Whatever changes our culture will affect our perception of reality, our worldview. This is also a time for the opportunity to become who we really are — but together, to have big dreams and to make them real.

Totally agree that we are at the synthesis stage and, like you present, it could “just happen”; for example, all people in government and power discovering to their initial astonishment, embarrasment and bemusement, that in the Grand Scheme of Things they’ve been emperors without clothes. From such a standpoint, I believe we can start to work together as one human family co-creating with Mother Earth in a divine interplay with Beings from other dimensions and worlds. Allelujah!

It seems that the stars bring positive youthful energy, amazing social change and an end to tyranny, and that is just the beginning. We can all see what’s happening — hold on to your hats. It seems that we really are the people we’ve been waiting for.

This change, the Great Shift in Consciousness, is far broader, deeper, and more fundamental than the drop of the Berlin Wall, arguably one of many culminating events in the Shift. Something of this magnitude probably doesn’t have a moment or event you can point to and say, “Aha! This is when it happened!” The only matter is that it does.

As each of us grows into the ever deepening awareness of our true identity as spiritual beings having a human experience and living our lives in pragmatic expression of this, we each contribute to kicking “us over the edge of this reality into the next one.” That’s where the change happens, outwardly expressed by some who take to the streets, by many others more quietly in the privacy of their individual lives, changing mass consciousness as they change their own. I like the notion that we all contribute, regardless of what we do (or don’t do) on the streets or anywhere else.

Maybe the most important thing that happened in the 60’s was questioning authority, the status quo, the way things are “supposed” to be. In more recent times, the crop circles call upon us to question reality itself. It doesn’t matter who or how many think they’re “real.” Their impact, the change they foment, is well established: inducing those who are so inclined to THINK … outside convention. Their mystery need never be revealed because that very mystery serves to further and further stretch our thinking.

Individualism actually is good when mutual respect is maintained, and this is most indigenous peoples belief. I cannot place enough emphasis on the word “most”, as even the USA was once many nations. Without that, legacy cannot be obtained. Capitalism is a two sided coin, one good and the other bad. It is bad when Globalization under a one world order takes place. It is bad when Global Corporatism forms and the decisions of many are made by the few. It is bad when people become nothing more than assets and liabilities that it is bad. It is good when capitalism promotes ideas from people by investing in people.

What you have written seems to be a diluted way of calling for a New World Order. You see my friend, we are part of the whole but the whole is sliced. There is nothing new under the sun from studying history that I see taking place right now. No new inventions, no new ideas, no new ways, no new beliefs. It is nothing new, just things not remembered. Then again, history is written by the victors. We are not the creators of anything ourselves, but that has been played in various ways for time and times.

I apologize if this review is not what you expected, but it is what I see. Lots of glitter, but all that glitters is not gold.
