Standing on the Shoulders of our Ancestors

It may or may not be written in the stars that massive transformation is in store for life on Planet Earth, in 2012, but whether the starts notice or not, we are already in the midst of it.

The generation of children that is now dancing amongst us, and standing on the shoulders of our ancestors, is set to face the consequences and rewards of every process that human beings have initiated.  As change on every level and in every direction is moving exponentially faster, so will this dynamic generation experience the climax of every force humans have put into motion.

How fast are things moving? Our population is the ultimate symbol.  Human beings took 50,000 years to reach a population of 1 billion.   In the past 100 years, we have increased to 6.5 billion.  In the next 25 it will likely be 12 billion. 
 

Look around in any direction.  We are all aware of what is happening.

From environmental dimensions, such as fresh water, deforestation, the destruction of the marine habitat and depletion of resources to socio-economic systems, like capitalism where the distribution of wealth has inevitably reached the tipping point at the top, and political systems that are ready to implant chips into their citizenship, to technologies which have blazed us at lightning speeds from the electric light and the model T to nuclear power, mars rovers and micro-processors,  everything is reaching critical mass and about to climax at the same time.

Now, take a deep, deep breath.  Guess what? There is nothing to fear. These are exciting times.  Full of potential, in every direction.  Understand this: These children amongst us now, will not have the same opportunities we had.  They will have far greater, more intense and more profound ones.  They will collectively, have the opportunity to realize our highest, most divine potential as human beings.  They will, collectively, have the opportunity to be heroes.  Why do I stress collectively?  Wait, I'll tell you at the end of this blog....

These photos I took, this full moon afternoon, amongst the ruins of several civilizations.  They are literally, civilizations built upon civilizations, stones recycled, ancestors standing upon the shoulders of ancestors.  As I climbed through, the now deserted fortress and crawled through the now empty houses of worship that intermingled with the protective walls of what was, more than once, a thriving community, I was increasingly covered in light and surrounded by beauty.  The higher I climbed, the more my perspective expanded, the more my joy increased.

The truth is, Humans have put a lot of processes in motion and while many of the fear-based, negative ones are reaching their logical destructive conclusions, so too are the spiritual pathways our ancestors carved for us reaching their light-filled, joyous climaxes as well.  The hollow structures built on greed and selfishness were bound to crumble, it was always their destiny.  They are constructed of crisis and pollution and corruption, that is their nature.  No need to mourn their passing.

The light, the pathway of the heart, was always destined to prevail.  The reason our children are not just standing, but are dancing on the shoulders of our ancestors is that from the ruins of the soon to be collapsed pathways of fear, they are about to realize the climax of our highest most divine processes.

The reason I highlighted collectively?  For the first time in human history, this generation, led by a tribe of Rainbow Warriors, will attain collectively what, previously only individuals have attained......enlightenment.  Is that destiny set in stone? No, it will require vision, action and warriorship.  How will they prepare for it?

With the nurturing help of their parents, their ancestors. That's our work.
