In meditation and deep stillness, I have the sensation of breathing in rhythm with nine billion meditators around the world. We sit together in a vast field of shared consciousness.
I come out of this meditation thinking “Wait. There aren’t even seven billion people right now!”
I’ve been given a vision into one possible future, a time of harmony and coherence among the humans of the earth.
The meditation becomes a marker of what is possible, a hopeful vision that seems often outlandish and impossible. Yet it comes back to me over the years as a guidepost, a seed, and a portal into the many possible futures we can create for ourselves.
We humans are in deep crisis on every level, with economic dislocation, polarization, inequity, and increasing despair and suffering. Our earth is in crisis, with climate extremes, resource extraction, injustice, and extinctions looming daily. Collectively we flail, argue, blame, go in
circles.
Yet as Einstein famously said, we cannot solve a problem with the same ideas and methods that created it. So what are the underlying shifts of behavior and consciousness we need to make?
Individually and collectively, we need resilience. We need a strong, consistent spiritual practice to weather change and crisis with equanimity. We need heart-centered visions and dreams for living in partnership with the whole web of life. We need regenerative and life-centered
systemic change. We need to inform our visions and actions with spirit.
I have asked to meet an Anasazi spirit guide, one whose civilization thrived in this dry New Mexico climate until 1100 AD, when drought forced a mass migration and decline. A very short, black-haired man appears and takes my hand. He leads me to the “Fifth World,” the one the Hopis say follows this world we inhabit. He
tells me emphatically that his group ascended into a different dimension, where they created a new civilization of peace and harmony. He’s offering me “a metaphor for the process you humans need now, to literally step into a different world so your descendants can thrive.” I feel the wholeness and beauty of this world with all my senses, knowing it is another gift of vision and possibility.
Raising the level of your consciousness opens you up. You become resilient. You move fluidly through fear and tension. You let go of your guardedness, doubt, and despair. This lets the light pour into you and through you, transforming your physical body into a light body, homo luminous.
Together we can nurture our seeds for a life-honoring, regenerative, interconnected relationship with earth and stars. We can weave our visions into a whole cloth, evolving ourselves and creating a sustainable future for our descendants and all the beings of this world.
What choice do we have, really?
