The Apocalypse occurred a little over two years ago! Obviously, it wasn't the end of the world. Many people, when they hear the word 'apocalypse' immediately think ( negatively, BTW ) of the end of the world, if not the end of Time itself. As a former Christian, I'm quite familiar with the concept of some future cataclysmic event, based on John's Revelation, the last book of the Bible. John's Revelation, of course, is where we get the word 'apocalypse'. The meaning that most dictionaries ( to whatever extent ) assign to the Greek transliteration 'apokalypsis' indicates some form of final, future, destructive event. The actual meaning is 'an uncovering', or 'a revealing'. This actually makes a lot of sense, since a revelation is the end result of a revealing, 2020 revealed a lot of things that had been hidden in the shadows. It began in early 2020 with the masks and the social distancing, as well as the forced quarantines. 2020 came & went, bringing us into 2021; things only got worse, revealing, not only the lengths our government was prepared to go to in keeping us quiescent, but also the true colors of many we had considered friends. This is not to further the separation between us, of course, because there really is no separation except in our minds. However, as the case may be, the so-called 'pandemic' has been a blessing in disguise, for without it, the conspiracy theorists would still be crazy & the majority of the people would still be 'sheeple'. Don't get me wrong, though; there's STILL a lot of 'sheeple' out there!
All of this has transpired, of course, to bring about 'The Great Shift', a change in perception, a change in consciousness. In some sense, this might engender one of those 'chicken or egg' discussions, but it should be clear that a change in consciousness, whether conscious or unconscious, needs to come first, for unless one's consciousness is altered, however greatly or slightly, that one's perception will never change! In order for the necessary change to come, there MUST be a change in perception, or people will never see 'the monster behind the curtain'; they will continue to live out 'the American Dream' ( or European, or African, Asian, etc ), not understanding the implications of this 'law' or that & not really caring about anything but 'the good life', death & taxes.
Such a Shift requires education! No, not the sort of education one might receive at a college or university & certainly not from any seminary; this kind of education only leads to more of the same. By 'more of the same'; understand, 'The American Dream'. Now, I'm not by any means saying that one shouldn't go to college or university, or even attend seminary, although these can prove to be well-nigh useless or, in the case of the latter, dangerous. On the other hand though, it depends on the individual person, Which brings me to my next point...........
To truly garner anything from ANY sort of education, one must educate oneself! Not only must one WANT to learn, they must open their mind to truly LEARN, to understand what is being revealed. On top of this, one must first become conscious of the necessity of a change ( for the better ). "How do we alter our consciousness in such a way? one might ask; "are you saying we should all start tripping on psychedelics?" No, of course I'm not advocating the use of illegal drugs, though something could be said................... There is a way to alter consciousness without the use of illegal drugs. Anything from simple meditation techniques to certain music, dancing, etc. have been proven an effective way of altering ( temporarily ) one's consciousness. Again though, this depends on the individual: obviously, if dancing, music & meditation were all there was to it, we'd all be in a better place!
"Intent is Key!" One could dance him or herself to death or meditate until they were blue in the face & it wouldn't do a damn bit of good unless the intention to accomplish positive change was present. "Yes, we are THAT powerful!" If we truly intend to do something, NOTHING can stop us! "Now, whoah there," you might be thinking, "are you telling us that if we intended to, we could fly ( like a bird )?" Actually, yes; to use an example I've used previously; " look at what the Wright Brothers did at Kitty Hawk, back in the day & now, where are we? Could we actually ( literally ) grow a set of wings & fly through the heavens? "Now who's getting ridiculous?" Birds are birds & human beings are human beings. While it remains to be seen whether Science will ever figure out how to merge the two, there ARE fairly simple contraptions, even clothing, that allow the user or wearer to glide through the air with the greatest of ease.
Being that we are More than human; we all have the ability to fly, albeit, not to the 'normal' human perception & certainly not with wings, whether bird OR human! The necessary Shift that must occur involves our breaking with tradition & unlearning all we 'know' about not just ourselves, but about Nature in general! Whether plants, animals, or human beings, even what we know as 'inanimate objects' to a degree; we ALL have a life of our own, a sentience if you will. It is known that plants communicate with each other. The largest living organism, for example, is an aspen grove on the side of a mountain in Colorado. Even rocks have some kind of life in them, or at least did at one point. The Life that is in the plants & animals, even the basic building blocks of Nature herself, its impetus, is the same Life that guides & motivates us, if only we would remember this!
"Education?" Don't we already know all we need to, being More than Human? Well, yes, as More than Human, we have all this Knowledge, or at least, access to it, but because we slowly ( over many lifetimes ) have forgotten Who & What We are, We must educate ourselves, mostly through introspection ( meditation ), although our memories may be triggered by things we read, see or hear. With the help of these aids, as well as our Highest Self, We will remember Who We are again & that We CAN fly!
Namaste' & Blessed Be,
Sage Charles
