In the course of our work, we think a lot about the Great Work: what needs to be done as the Shift intensifies as we head into the Ninth Wave, the final aspect of transformation. (Fasten your seat belts as they say.) Those of us involved in the transformation movement in some way, shape, or form can contribute in many different ways. We might even call these "roles". In thinking this through a little more, the beginnings of a kind of "transformation agenda" can be seen taking shape. We'd like to share it with you and get your feedback and opinions.
*Work on Oneself. Everything starts and ends here. As Paramahansa Yogananda has said, change yourself and you will change 1000 people. Sacred activism begins with intent and alignment with our highest purpose for the good of humanity during this time of radical transformation.
*The Work of Imaginative Restructuring. If we’re going to build what Eckhart Tolle calls a “New Earth”, we need to first imagine its contours, directions, and substance. Not abstractly but concretely. If the veil between thought and action is thinning, then the work of the imagination becomes all the more important and not just the province of poets but "activists". What kind of world would you like to build today?
*Compassionate Aid. It’s a bit troubling to still find discussions of the Ascension that imply and reinforce the dualistic notion of the elect and saved and those who “will not make it”. Inclusiveness is the antidote to dualism. Amid high-flying discussions of multidimensional transformation, a kind of almost Buddhist grounding needs to take place so that basic compassion is continually extended to those whose lives are severely disrupted by the Shift and radical earth changes (e.g. Haiti and the recent earthquake in Japan.)
*Transitioning to Sacred Space. This is the amazing and beautiful work that many lightworkers are doing to hold the vibration of planetary energy grids as described by Mayan interpreters such as Drunvalo Melchizedek and Mayan teachers such as Ac Tah. (There are volumes that could be said about this but I am not the right person to do it.)
*Being a Wayshower. All of us are at different places in our spiritual journey. To the extent we can help others better understand the daunting complexity of the Shift in big and small ways, we're helping transformation to take place. As Daniel Pinchbeck has said, this isn't a time to withdraw from the world and savor spiritual solitude. There's simply too much to be done.
Dimensional and Syncretistic Translation. Pick up a copy of Barbara Hand Clow’s amazing book The Alchemy of Nine Dimensions and you'll see a fascinating breakdown of cosmic and metaphysical reality in terms of nine dimensions. Pick up a book on Taoist philosophy and you’ll see something that appears to be very different. But is the content really very similar? Yes! Imagine that content as being expressed by different languages: talking about the very same thing but understood only when both are decoded and fully translated. This too is a special kind of work that also needs to be done and an aspect of what we do at The Emergence Project.
Those are just a few thoughts that I wanted to put out there. Please feel free to mention others. Thank you.
