There is a river flowing now very fast. It is so great and swift that there are those who will be afraid. They will try to hold on to the shore. They will feel they are being torn apart and will suffer greatly. Know the river has its destination. The elders say we must let go of the shore, push off into the middle of the river, keep our eyes open, and our heads above the water. All that we do now must be done in a sacred manner and in celebration. We are the ones we’ve been waiting for. – Hopi Elder, Oraibi, Arizona

March 9^th, 2011 was the dawn of the ninth wave of unity consciousness, a cycle of vibration as prophesized by the ancient Mayans. With the activation of the ninth wave of unity consciousness only five years behind us, we are still in the birthing stage of this new dawning. The energetic shift that occurred has been subtle. Most people had hoped for a cataclysmic event to mark the new era and when that didn’t occur they went on with the daily grind, seemingly to have forgotten all about it. But the process of transformation is in progress and it is up to us to ensure that we ride the wave into our unified evolution.

In spite of the non-productive and destructive forces that are at the forefront of everyone’s mind at this time, the energy of the planet is escalating. This positive vibration is increasing steadily, and has brought us to a new frequency that is now beginning to affect some people with explosive force. This force is causing more and more people enter into states of heightened states of awareness; for some it means being in service to the higher good, for others it means being in service to humanity. The bottom line is that we are aligning with higher consciousness, coming together to evolve into unity consciousness with the cognition that we are all one upon our beautiful source, the Earth.

In America, the current President is holding up a mirror that is reflecting, with accuracy, a grotesque and outlandish image of what our society is becoming. Most people, throughout the entire world, do not like the image that they see in that mirror. As a result, we are acknowledging that the frightening and barbaric image that is being reflected to us must be shattered. As self-centered perspectives fall away, we consciously work together to deactivate the negative patterns that have been accruing power for so long; our intention of co-creation with each other magnifies the frequency of our expansion into universal consciousness. We are creating the tipping point that is necessary for a complete and successful paradigm shift!

The Hopi Elder said, All that we do now must be done in a sacred manner and in celebration. That can mean many things to many people but the point is that all is done with respect for the Earth, for each other, and for the highest good. As many of you know, I celebrate and enter into sacred space by going into the sweat lodge. It is within this empty space, or womb of creation, that I become completely empty in order to align with the energetic frequencies of universal consciousness (intent). Within this space I feel as though I become a conduit as I open myself up to the energies of the unknown. For some, aligning with silent knowledge is possible through the practice of meditation, yoga, trance dancing, fire ceremony, attending church, floating in the sea, sitting in nature, chanting, drumming, gazing at the stars, and so on.

The dark forces in the world exist because of one thing. Selfishness and the need to consume as a portrayal of power. That selfishness is the root of all suffering, evil, and destruction of the Earth. We cannot conquer selfishness, the only thing that we are able to do is remove ourselves from it by living in states of selfless love, compassion, freedom, and the ability to see through the illusions of separation. And as we do, we are able to become the example of what it means to live our lives from the purity of Spirit. This empowers others to witness our incredible states of well-being, wholeness, and the beautiful energetic frequency that vibrates from our very soul.

The extreme levels of selfishness in others may begin to lust after our state of well-being, and on a subconscious/unconscious level, they will attempt to consume our energy so they could live within the same state of well-being that we exude. Remember, they are selfish and they want it! With detachment, knowing that we have access to the infinite energy of the universe, we set our personal boundaries to prevent ourselves from becoming depleted or otherwise harmed physically or energetically. We provide to them the selfless love, compassion, dignity, and freedom, that they are literally dying for. In so doing, their own selfish level of consciousness will begin to evolve into a higher level of awareness and, over time, will lead them out of the states of fear, consumption, and separation that they are firmly anchored in. This will be a slow process but it is, after all, evolution.

I can’t describe to you what it means to experience universal mind consciousness because within it, no thoughts or words exist. It is not something that you have to take classes for in order to align with it. It is right here in the center of consciousness within us, within everyone, and it is simultaneously everywhere in its boundlessness. All I know is that as individual consciousness expands into universal mind consciousness, people will come to know from the center of their selfless being, that they are not separate from anyone or anything in this beautiful and creative web of life.

As we each expand into the purity of universal consciousness, we realize that there is nothing to do except to acknowledge our unity with universal mind. Universal mind is a powerful and creative force. It is all knowing and pure presence. When we merge with universal consciousness, we become an extension of universal mind. Sitting in this pure state, we become creativity that knows no bounds. We recognize that we are all connected; we are at one with the nature of everything as it exists as an extension of pure life force energy.

Keep dancing!
