TRUTH—“The times they are ah changin’!”

Namaste,

Greetings and salutations to you on this eve of enlightenment, this dawning of a new age of mankind.

 

You and I, as we wait in line to be seated in the Cosmic Theater—we have the best seats in the house you know—front row and center.

 

Oh, how dumb of me! I forgot. We are the subjects on stage during this production. The “powers-that-be” have been prepping us for this show/event for a very, very, very, very long time—so we don’t want to disappoint them now do we?

 

Quite frankly we haven’t been doing our parts as you well know. All bogged down with our egos, fundamentalisms, wars, our well manicured speed bumps on our religion versus spirituality highway/mindset; etc, etc, etc… But, chins up anyway! We’ve got to make sure that they get a good show out of this don’t we?

 

Hmmmmm... Oh well...

 

No matter what your station in life, be you an adept or novice; worldly or mundane; Christian or pagan; you’ve been aware on some level—unless you’ve been comatose, composted, or living under a rock—that some things coming, can’t seem to put a finger on it or name it, can’t quite see it, but you know something’s there (there’s so many “New Age” terms for it just take your pick of something you can feel comfortable with)!

 

This Earthwalk we are on is pure experiential, it’s not a finishing school this is a proving ground. The lessons and tests are not set up for going over, under, or around—they are accomplished by going through them in order to undergo a tempering and thus affect changes in ourselves!

 

My spirit brothers and sisters just like the words of that old Bob Dylan song:

 

“The times they are ah changin’!

The times they are ah changin’!”

 

Yes in deed they are and about damn time too! We “Elder” souls, you know who you are—been hangin’ around for the last 500,000 years or so—have been waiting for these times ahead of us. And these forces will not be denied!

 

As "Elders" our gifts to the mundane and spiritual worlds is that of the "Corporate"/Ancient knowledge from our experiences in the physical and the spirit world. This universal "language" comes from our brain and heart speaking as one—"Wisdom"!

 

This wisdom and its “truths” cut through the fog of institutionalized doubt, purposeful and willful ignorance. It hammers relentlessly at the walls of prejudice and the trumped-up differences that have been laid in place and seemingly set in stone by our governments and major society's co-dependent, fundamentalist, religious institutions with “truths” that can not be denied. And defies their cookie cutter, dogma driven answers—“TRUTH” defies being put into a neat little “box”!

 

“Truth” is an insidious little bugger which quickly finds its home in an opened and enlightened mind, and relentlessly gnaws, claws, and nags at closed ones for it will not be denied! It is blind to color, race, creed, religion, economic status, and national origins—it just "IS"—and that's what makes “IT” so “DANGEROUS” to the defenders of the status quo and the pabulum called “conformity” which we tip-toe through, and are spin-doctored with 24/7!!!

 

The vibrational shifts are upon us this very moment. These “winds-of-change” are in our midst—there is no turning back; there are no more deals to be cut or made now—we have all felt and heard this “Clarion call” from Spirit, our Earth Mother, Father Sky, The Elementals, and the Creator it has/is sounding for all of us in these times ahead. We are all hearing its words—"Stand tall and be counted; Stand and send a voice, Sing your heart’s song; Raise a joyful noise; Be not weary these days; and Don't weaken my children!"

 

"Aho, Mitakuye Oyasin (We Are All Related)—

If the people lead, then the leaders will follow!

We Are One Planet,

We Are One People,

We Are One Mind,

We Are One Spirit!"

 

And as my Grandmother would say at the beginning of my training sessions, "Children. Let us dance around the ‘Tree-Of-Life’ today with joy in our hearts, shake it, and see what fruits it will drop for us this time around!"
