“The quality of your consciousness at this moment is what
shapes the future.”
-Eckhart Tolle: The power of now: a guide to spiritual enlightenment
There is a profound revolution in human consciousness occuring in our
world today.
Consciousness is the foundation for all reality. Everything that exists
in the Cosmos is, in reality, the outward manifestation
of various degrees of consciousness and intelligence. As such, our
level of consciousness determines and defines
our current level of existence, as well as, the trajectory for further
potential advancement in human evolution.
Thus said, as we evolve and advance our levels of consciousness, so do
we, in turn, advance and evolve our world.
Willis Harmon wrote in the preface of his book, Global Mind Change: "No
matter how powerful the economic
or political or even military institution, it persists only because it
has legitimacy, and that legitimacy
comes from the perceptions of the people. A challenge to legitimacy is
probably the most powerful force for change
to be found in history". He went on to say, "By deliberately changing
the internal image of reality, people can change the world".
The 21st century can best be described in intellectual/spiritual terms
as the awakening of human consciousness, both individually
and collectively. There is now more information and knowledge available
to every single member of the human family than at any other
time in human history. With the database of information doubling every
2-3 years, we are witnessing a literal explosion of human knowledge-
and with it an exponential increase in human consciousness worldwide.
Information, knowledge and consciousness together translates into a
greater awakening of
understanding, intelligence and awareness, attributes most needed in
this time of great crisis and transition for human civilization.
As such, the prospects for unprecedented levels of societal advancement
and human evolution have never been greater.
The current state of consciousness on the planet today can best be
summed up in a number of words: confused, fractured, dysfunctional,
disharmonious, dissonant,
dishonest, debased, devolved, debauched and thoroughly inadequate
towards addressing the multifaceted number of crises' and critical world
needs of building
the mechanisms for planet management. At base, collective human
consciousness must evolve to a level that guarantees clean water,
sufficient food, shelter, health care,
transportation, education, fullfillment and opportunity to every single
member of the human family. Without a level playing field for everyone
on Earth, the world
will remain in a state of conflict, resentment, incoherence, imbalance
and incongruity. Complete and absolute resonance with this newly
evolved state of
consciousness amongst all members of the human family on Earth is step
#1 towards building and achieving an advanced civilization for mankind.
This will, of course, require a shift away from militarism and
warmongering and into an era of sustainable planet management with the
construction of a global
green world order. Once basic needs for all members of our planetary
family are met, we can begin to delve into the more heady issues of
space exploration,
colonization and our eventual leap to the stars. In addition to outer
space, our exploration of inner space can develop and mature as well,
with the practice
of mediatation, the achievement of higher states of consciousness and
intelligence, as well as the mastery of our minds in relation to the
divine
mysteries of the greater cosmos at large, both within and without.
No one can force the minds of men to change, but we must all work to see
that it is in the best interests of all members of our species to
elevate and evolve
to a level of consciousness and intelligence that protects and
guarantee's our collective survival, growth and prosperity well into the
21st century and beyond.
The current path that humanity now treads can and must only lead to
species extinction. If the trajectory of spiritual evolution has
anything to say about it,
species extinction will NOT be an option.
Thus said, the current revolution in human consciousness is the great
game changer. The evolution and progression of human consciousness and
intelligence cannot be thwarted,
stopped or derailed, for IT IS the very arrow of evolution and the
advancement of the human condition that innately and eternally strives
for greater perfection
and fullfillment within the current confines of both time and space on
this small and insignificant planet we call Earth.
In the end, it is the revolution of human consciousness that will
transform itself into the evolution of human consciousness, for
revolution is the great engine for evolution.
