We Were Made For Such Times

Right now, things are unfolding in this world — socially, economically, politically, technologically, and environmentally — that we have no idea about how to handle. Life is throwing so much at us that we are being forced to evolve, rapidly and profoundly. The gravity of events and the scope of change that is upon us invites us to be in a vastly higher level of authorship of our own reality, and to join with others at a much deeper level than we’re used to.

The indigenous tribes and the 13 Grandmothers and the wisdom teachings of the ages have long been calling us to remember what we forgotten of this. They’ve been calling us to awaken and to get on with the Great Work of creating a world that works for all. Got something better to do?

The critical role each of us has to play is to show up as that new world. And to bring it into being, we must embody it in heart, mind and deed.

A transformation of this magnitude won’t be like learning a new skill. It will be more like making a quantum leap, joining a revolution even… Will this be Humanity 3.0? I honestly don’t know. But what I do know is that I hear the heart’s ever-present call to a life beyond fear, beyond polarization, and into a love-centered response that sees and protects Life and what serves Life.

And just so we’re clear, this new world is not like some carefully placed target across the hayfield. It’s not a “thing” that we have the blueprint for, or that any person or group or nation has a corner on, contrary claims notwithstanding. Instead, this world is revealed through the opening of our hearts. We encounter this world only when we walk towards it, when we open to it, when we seek it, when we find it. Quite simply, we allow/wake up to/create this world, individually and together.

Can we allow and see that somehow, in a way that defies our rational comprehension, a more deeply sacred and beautiful world is awakening, right from within our deepest hearts? Can we be fully present for that, and weave it together as the best expression of who we are?
And anyways, anything less is the long way around, wouldn’t you say? Where’s the fun in that?
