2012 and the Internet: The Evolution of Mind

In my last blog I talked about how what a challenging time this is for all of us with the acceleration of change now upon us. But the workings of cosmic divine order is a complex and mysterious process. I believe that amid extraordinary climate change, widespread economic turmoil,and possible food shortages along with other disruptions of the Shift, we’ve been given compensating gifts to deal with the inevitable chaos of the Shift.

The spiritual advice that this conjures up for me is “Where spirit guides, spirit provides”. Humanity has been guided towards this inflection point in the grand arc of history. This is a process governed by natural law and the evolutionary emergence of the Cosmos. We feel like we’re “in the soup” – deep in a torrent of change that we have no control over. But at the same time, we’ve been given gifts to deal with this mind blowing complexity and staggering sense of time acceleration.

Some of these gifts are what I’ll call internal and some of them external even though it’s a somewhat arbitrary distinction. The internal ones relate to changes in our human capabilities already taking place, not only in consciousness but in our physical bodies. Lightworkers such as Lisa Renee and Lauren Gorgo have provided rather amazing descriptions of multidimensional DNA transformation and the repatterning of the planetary energy grid. Other commentators have noted some unusual capabilities observed in children being born over the last 20 years or so.

Another more “external” gift is the power of technology which is being radically accelerated by the use of the computer. Technology itself is a double edged sword of course as are most tools. It can be used for beneficent or less than enlightened purposes. It’s our cultural inability to bypass technologies that are in the latter category that causes problems and the unthinking assumption that all technology applications must be good and useful. As a side note, it also seems clear from the work of Mayan interpreters Jose Arguelles (“Time and the Technosphere”) and Carl Calleman that technology is playing a major role in the acceleration process that we associate with the Shift.

Among gifts technological is of course the Internet which as I wrote about in Digital Mythologies is a powerful change agent in the evolution of mind. To name just a few of its effects, the Internet is allowing communities of interest to form that would not otherwise be possible and its role in the Egyptian revolution is obvious. The gathering of indigenous elders worldwide to come forth and share their ancient wisdom as it relates to the Shift (as is happening with Ac Tah’s work) would not be possible without this gift. So when things seem particularly bleak in terms of the unfolding of disruptive world events, I like to try to think a bit the about how these capabilities and others are available to us. There are many if we take the time look for them. What are some the the gifts you have seen in your journey?
