We are the alchemists here on this earth. With our intention and our motivation and our energetic existence, we shape the very fabric of our reality. We do this on the individual level within our “selves,” and we do it on a larger level. At every level we are working to energetically build a fundamentally new type of element, or alchemical result. WE are all working on the same fundamental problem – and we currently could call it the problem of “the human experience.” But, that would be incorrect, for where the solution to this alchemical problem lies is also a part of the human experience – and it is the part which we are living in THIS MOMENT. Our now. Humanity is on the cusp of a great alchemical discovery.

At the individual level, there are many who have already crossed the boundary, made the shift, or experienced a quantum leap in self-aware human consciousness. Each of us that has taken a role, that has taken on their personal parts of the larger alchemical reaction and has achieved change – completed metamorphosis – are now able to work together, and, in fact, already are working together, whether or not we are consciously aware of each other, to bring about the larger alchemical shift within our society. The message for so long that has stood out is that the way to affect change in one’s life and in the world is to go within. And this is correct. All must first go within. The next part of the message – the next step in evolution – is to return to unity while maintaining self-awareness of separation. It is not to return to a pure unity consciousness, within which there is no division. It is to evolve forwards to see that the underlying unity consciousness IS and WE ARE individuated parts of this consciousness as well. In order to get here, a certain amount of the individualized and the collective trauma of separation must be worked with, healed, and learned from. This cannot be done if we continually mistake symptoms of this separation for the problem at hand – the problem at hand is the unresolved separation trauma, or duality, in and of itself.

But not everyone is at the same place – humanity is not on the same page – and with more of us here than ever, we must accept (and I mean really, really accept) that there is never going to be a time when we are all at the same place or all on the same page. Ever. AND, this does not mean we cannot (we MUST not) work together symbiotically towards a common evolutionary future. We are all part of the same story at one level, and at another each of us has no commonality with the other. We are all integral to the existence and evolution of this Universe. We are all co-creating this Universe. We always have been. ALL of us. Creation is a good term to use for the process by which evolution works. The process by which information flows back and forth and all throughout this field of consciousness, from which physical manifestation emerges. Creation is, in a sense, “ALL knowing:” creation contains ALL of the information in the Universe. Creation is, in a sense, “INTELLIGENT.” It is connected by a vast non-local energy network, or “field,” such that it can organize and ultimately process information. In fact, a very good way to imagine the Universe is as a very large information processing machine – basically running a really long algorithm that we can choose to call Creation or Evolution, for REALLY: they are the same thing. What this process, or even “Entity,” if you like, is not, is Holistically Self-Aware. That is to say, the Universe (or our “Creator,” or “God,” or gods) does not have the same type of consciousness that we humans have in the sense that the Universe cannot think to itself “I am experiencing hunger, I would like to eat now.” The Universe just Eats. The Universe cannot say to itself “I am now going to create a [this or a that] in the image of [ANYTHING].” It just CREATES. It does this because that is Inherent to what the thing we call Universe does – it is its nature. There is not too much need to go beyond that for our purposes as they can currently be understood by us.

Within this Universe, the evolution algorithm runs, and Creation occurs. Within one “linear” timeline, in one (relative) spot in time and space, manifestation begins. There is a bursting forth of a bit of matter from what had been a pool of energy and pure consciousness. This was the moment “intention” or “motivation” was born, and it was the moment at which that initial split into duality occurred. But no one would notice for a REALLY long time. You see then, as the algorithm runs, what is basically happening (or, I should be really clear here – a good model for a way to think about it, at any rate) is that the consciousness is manifesting a solid state for itself to inhabit. Once the solid state is manifested, the algorithm runs to try to build more and more stable states for the consciousness to inhabit. The idea (although, of course, we can say that sitting here and, again, there was not pre-planning in this in the way we might conceptualize it if we were to, say, personify Evolution) is to begin to individuate the consciousness and then to work towards a vehicle, or receiver, of consciousness that can become self-aware. A self-aware consciousness could then, in theory, be a stepping stone to a larger network (or larger level, if you will) of individuated, self-aware, consciousness. In the limit, one can see that our Universe could become entirely Self-Aware, but I assure you (at least in this Universe) we are NOT there yet. The future is UNKNOWN and all we have is HERE and NOW.

Of course, our past is here in our present with us. Of course, all of the information from all of the existence that has ever happened in our Universe is here with us. And we, humans, are poised to take this universe to a new level of the evolution of self-aware consciousness. We currently have the potential to be self-aware co-creators of what manifests in our reality. By this, I do not mean that we are suddenly going to get everything our material egos want, for anyone who is still operating from a place of an attached material ego (or, what we have been calling the human ego, perhaps) will certainly not be self-aware of their co-creative role. But I mean that some of us can, and I mean that the potential is there. Humans, at our PRESENT evolutionary stage have the potential to be self-aware co-creators of our Universe. We have the CURRENT potential to take ourselves from the individuated consciousness that is still carrying the burden of our perceived trauma in separation (and the very real traumas, pains, and evils this has caused for us, I am certain, across many more manifestations and timelines and realities than this current one) to individuated BEings that also carry a self-aware (or conscious) tie/thread/line of communication with a unity or collective consciousness, such that we can move into symbiosis with our environment and prevent another “reset” in this manifestation.

Creations are created in manifest realities (existing in what we would call 3D time and space). There are a multitude of realities within our Universe, and each is as real as the next. Our science has known for ages, and we can feel in our core beings, if we will make the necessary choices and do the necessary work to access them, that time does not work in a linear way and that it is not “real” in the way we perceive it to be from our relative location (and with our relative sensing abilities) in time and three-dimensional space. What we see with our material senses (that is, our senses constructed to view and experience the material world or manifest reality) is not all that is. We do have the current capacity to also access extra senses as well. This can manifest here in a variety of ways, but what it is, essentially, is us learning to process (or integrate) the information we are getting from the field (or from the Universe, or from the energetic underlying reality) though what we often hear called our “higher self.” The type of information exchange that occurs here is at first for self-healing and the growing and learning of self-awareness that we even have access to this information. We have had this access for an incredibly long time, and possibly for as long as we have been “human,” and possibly even for MUCH “longer” than that.

Here, in what we would call our current “history,” (and I will not take the time to get into what all has happened – there are a great many books on that, almost all of which could use significant revision, and there is much work to do on it, but it is not my work) what has happened is that we have been living under a colonialist, patriarchal, materialistic, consumerist, Newtonian, rule. We are living in a reality that we have all co-created, but which no ONE is responsible for. We are dealing with “unprecedented” political division, we still seem to have not really figured out how to stop hating and enslaving and murdering each other – we are basically living in a reality that is about to hit rock bottom.

It is breaking down around us. Not only are our human systems and creations breaking down, but our entire planet and ecosystem is falling apart around us. It looks bad. It looks (and feels) like we are on the fast-track to a hell from which we cannot expect an escape. The thing is, that is all true – we are on a very bad path – and we are headed for “hell” in some senses – but it is equally true that we do have the capacity to shift and to leap to a new level of consciousness, and a new way of being human – an entirely NEW human experience— that is one of Co-creation (or Co-Evolution, if you will) and symbiosis. Balance in motion, and stability through the chaos into which we are certain to be embedded for some time. We can, and actually I would argue we ARE, shifting in the direction of a coming paradigm shift in human consciousness and in what it is and what it means to be HUMAN. This is not new to many. It has literally been being pointed to for eons. But what really is new, and really is worth noting, is that we have passed the turning point in our journey as humans. WE HAVE THE CAPACITY TO CHANGE OUR OWN REALITY AND GROW UP COLLECTIVELY.

Having the capacity and actually using it are two different things. Furthermore, having the capacity and doing the work versus having the capacity, doing the work, and then having that work actually result in enough direction change, enough healing, to continue to exist here in THIS manifestation is an entirely different matter. BUT there is great potential. Fortunately, I know that there are MANY humans here and NOW who have already made the shift to this entirely new way of being human – to this entirely different Human Experience. In the new experience, there is no more duality. In the new experience WE are Evolution. We ARE the Alchemists, and the change bringers, and we are working to bridge the gap to the next level (to larger networks of humans – to more expanded understandings of our connections to each other and to all that IS). Our current human systems and energies are still in a state of much trauma and un-healing. These unhealed parts cannot evolve before they heal. WE live in our human systems and we SEE that they are oppressing us, that they are MURDERING us, that they are KILLING CREATION. We SEE that our human systems as we currently permit them to exist, and fill the roles within them as we think they HAVE to be (or “are”), is causing a huge amount of pain and seemingly completely pointless suffering. We SEE the hate, the greed, the VIOLENCE, the DEATH. We SEE it and we are less and less able to turn and look away. The pressure is rising, and MORE of us are UNABLE to turn away. That is a GOOD thing, but we need to collectively resist the urge to sit in the darkness, and the shame, and the guilt, and the fear.

YES: we are in a very painful and difficult time and much TRAUMA, much EVIL, is still being inflicted. Still being “manifested.” AND: we are in a time of GREAT potential for CHANGE. It is, I would suggest from personal experience, though of course I could be “wrong,” Impossible (HIGHLY improbable) that someone would be able to integrate much of the new human consciousness into their current human body and brain and self-awareness without having first worked to heal (or having come in to this life “healed”), and continually working to heal, and evolve their own self (and self-awareness and “consciousness”). The thing is, that with new levels of self-healing and self-awareness, one can start to see beyond the duality that makes us think that even this SYSTEM is out to get US. That somehow we are the Innocent victims of this. We are not. AND, that does not make our here and now trauma not RELEVANT – IT IS ALL THAT IS. We MUST work to heal our systems, and, in fact, many of them certainly will not be healed and may need to, instead, fall away – but this, this type of alchemical burning away – is still healing, even if it may not feel so at first. But, None of this was the point.

The point is: many of us are here, and many of us have transformed ourselves into a state where we have crossed to the other side of this shift, and we are slowly finding those others of us with which we will most closely work in this manifestation. And we are slowly noticing our energetic connections with those with whom we are working in other realities outside of this Manifestation (but still, all NOW). We are building the new energetic grids, we are integrating ALL that we have learned (this “we” has learned in a non-cohesive, non-self-aware way), but what we are building is also what is actively and CURRENTLY emerging. So we are, on an energetic level, still preparing our human energy grids and structures to be able to actually work effectively for us as this NEW type of human. And there is a LOT of work to be done. There are many roles. And, in this new way of being, you can always choose which role you take – it is all a choice – but when you are in alignment with your self and Evolution you know what choice to make for the good of ALL. It will be some time before many of us living are always there, but many of us are experiencing this, and some of us much of the time, and I am certain some of us ALL of the time.

Some of the work is still on the self – a lot of it in the aggregate. By this I mean that, at this stage, I am sensing most human hours needed, the most human effort and motivated “work,” is at the individual level. I say this because -although I know and I SEE more and more humans moving along their path of individuated consciousness evolution across the threshold that I am describing as a paradigm shift in human consciousness, or human BE-ing— I still sense that MOST are living out patterns and are trapped by trauma and duality consciousness as that very reality is in the process of breaking down. All who can shift will shift, and due to the large-scale breakdown that is occurring, for MANY that TIME IS NOW. So, all the work that can be done to assist in this is clearly going to continue to be important work. As this is happening, and again these are all roles and some are filled by individuals, others by groups, there is the next-level healing and shifting which is at the relational level. You see, our reality and our energetic grid is built out at all these levels and, any trauma that is not healed at the individual level ripples out in all directions effecting ALL THAT IS. Above the relational level comes the organizational level – what we would now call for profit businesses, non-profit businesses, governments, nations. And above that is the Global level – the level of Gaia. And at that level as well, of course, there are reverberations of trauma and deep wounding.

The upshot of this, however, is that we can – we ARE – working at all levels at all times (which is THIS TIME). More of us are becoming aware of the roles we are taking on at the higher levels – we are taking them on with more conscious awareness of what we are doing. We are able to do this by establishing and maintaining our own path to balanced growth and Evolution within our Reality that is currently still dominated by the Old Way. It is important to remember that this is all part of the Alchemical Process we are working on. It is important, also, to remember that we HAVE lighted the way. That is to say, we have uncovered a path on a very fundamental and energetic level. That is NOT to say that we see a clear path here in manifest reality (for WE have to Co-Create that – it does not EXIST yet), but on a really fundamental level in energetic reality we have created the early pathways that are necessary for our collective, human, evolution across the threshold and into a NEW PARADIGM of what it MEANS and what it IS to be HUMAN.
