The other day I was talking with the universe about the geoengineering and toxicity that’s been amping up where I live, and about the “dimming of the sun” experiments proposed in the UK, and how misguided humanity is to devise and tolerate these obvious disservices to itself and the planet.
The moment I began this sort of prayer for humanity / moving meditation, I passed a church whose sign said “The Old Order — Revelation 21:4.”
I am not religious, but I am very spiritual and moved by signs and synchronicity. I knew there would be insight in that passage about the futility of the collapsing system’s attempts at maintaining dominance.
I looked the passage up and it reads:
“He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.”
The sickness that has plagued humanity for thousands of years is not just dying. It’s dead.
Anyone, any force (collective consciousness or otherwise) trying to keep that old sickness alive will not triumph. Nor can the new order that’s trying to animate from the corpse of the old order like the limp limbs of Frankenstein’s monster. That order is based in fear, disconnection, unawareness, greed, coercion, and all the misguided depravity that necessitated the death of the old system.
Hanging in the balance as the dead system slowly realizes it’s dead is different every day. Sometimes I wish we could experience a healthy new society in our lifetimes. Other times I realize it exists already in the consciousnesses of those of us who know there are better ways.
We have to leverage that knowledge, that awareness, that gnosis and catapult the better ways into practice in every institution. So many people around the world are doing so — in holistic healthcare, transformational education, regenerative farming, humanist architecture, art, communications, etc. It’s not obvious, and it is daunting because the pain and the hideousness and the ghost of the old order still predominate the outer world — and will continue to do so until we realize we can drive it out with the better ways.
Those of us with intuition and gnosis are all creating change in our own manners — particularly when we purposefully and regularly banish hopelessness, cynicism, and contempt — because we’ve always known that there is so much more potential for flourishing on this beautiful planet than recorded history has ever seen.
