Higher Density Human; Supporting Transition; Speaking from the Ego vs. Spiritual Authority; Covid as Teacher
Lightly reviewed
Aaron: My blessings and love to you. I am Aaron. Q1 has brought up some questions about how people cling to their suffering, being unwilling to just relax and be still in a world where there is trauma and seems to be no place to go; while in nature, that which is struck down lets go gracefully and springs back faster.
I began to speak without recording; I’ll start over.
Your world is going through a major shift in consciousness at all levels—the mineral, the core of the earth, the vegetation, the animals, human.
Interestingly you would think that human consciousness would lead the way, but instead, earth consciousness is leading the way—the minerals, the earth, the water, the air, the elements, and that which grows on the earth, all are raising into a higher vibration.
One of the reasons for all these forest fires is the burning away of all the old forests, leaving space for new, higher vibration forests to grow. Of course, you need to halt the causes of forest fires or the new forests will also burn. But they will be of a higher vibration and less inclined to burn.
As the elements of the earth are more balanced, there’s going to be more water available, more water element held in the trees, so they don’t burn as easily. The ground will eventually cease shifting so much and become more stable. The elements will communicate better with each other and grow into more balanced expression.
The humans are the ones clinging to the old—so frightened, so much with need to do as a way of getting away from the feeling of helplessness. The human consciousness has raised to a point where it feels, “I should be able to control things.” And it can’t.
Of course it can, to a degree. Barbara can decide what color of flower she’s going to plant, but she can’t determine whether they will grow, only to water them and make sure they have good soil. Trust. But the human of today is not so inclined to trust as to control.
What is this control? O course it’s rooted in fear.
What I think of as old human, the human that has not been able to move into a higher consciousness, unable to experience its non-duality with everything but still holds itself separate, this human is gradually going to pass away. Twenty thousand years from now they may look at history books as you look at the earth history of 20,000 years ago, at the, I don’t know, the Cro-Magnon or whatever man. The 21st century human, the human who is ready for this higher consciousness, is more likely to know its oneness with everything.
Sitting here and I am feeling the trees. Can you close your eyes and feel the power of these trees, (80 foot spruces) their energy? They are in you, and you are in them, and the squirrels and birds also, everything united. The human who, through being born with a higher consciousness and/or having done practices on earth that have invited the opening into higher consciousness, these are the higher density human that is being born, that will be born.
Basically we see the survival of the fittest. The humans that cannot move past their fear and need to manipulate and fix and control will gradually—I’m not predicting some catastrophe, but gradually they will pass away and their rebirth will be on some other plane, not on earth, because earth is moving into a higher consciousness, and earth’s higher vibration will be too uncomfortable for these humans.
The pressing question for me is, what is the most helpful way to avoid suffering for those now present and to be present; how to ease suffering and avoid new suffering?
How to help humans understand they have a choice, to let go of the grasping and the old notions of how things should be, and just be still and love.
How to help sentient beings find they don’t create love; they find the open heart that is that is born with love, exists in love, and does not so deeply discriminate about this and that and contract, but takes joy in the color of the flowers (some fading; some vivid) and the stature of the tree (pointing to a thriving spruce and a storm-shattered smaller tree); the color of the sky (deep blue here; grey clouds there). We see different things, but one is not better than the other. And the little ant crawling down here, the butterfly there—they’re all sacred.
The human to be, the human into which many of you are emerging—many of you through the profound depth of your spiritual practices that have led you to knowing non-duality and knowing love— your are transitioning into this new human—I stress new; same physical makeup but all the cells in the body move at a higher vibration.
Having the ability to cherish everything means the ability to listen to others who have different views without condemnation; but also to step up and protect when the one with a different view would destroy. You cannot protect this through destroying that. You are learning how to hold space for it all and how to say no from the place of clarity and loving wisdom.
This cycle for the earth has been coming for thousands of years. You all happen, not by chance at all, to be here right now, at this point of transition, and what you do, not only for yourselves but for all beings, is so important.
Each time that you or your students or friends respond to catalyst from a place of spaciousness, hold the space lovingly, yet from the place of truth—your own authentic truth but also THE truth, which is the truth of interconnectedness and love—that one being cannot destroy another without destroying itself—each time you practice this in your lives, model it and speak about it too, and help support others in it, you’re helping to support this transition to higher consciousness. The more it is supported, the less painful it will be.
It’s going to be painful. I don’t predict; this is simply obvious. It’s going to be painful because people will be asked/ are being asked/ to let go of things they have held dear. People are fighting so hard for the right not to get a vaccine. “I have the right to choose!” and making it a political and personal statement. People are so caught up in, “I am right!”
I think it’s very important for people at this stage to find the authority within them that is based upon an authority of love rather than “my ego’s authority”. How do you help people to understand the distinction between, “My ego says this,” versus a deep spiritual authority, as we saw modeled in Gandhi, for example? This is the fruit of profound practice and stillness. The deep spiritual authority is not afraid to speak out its truth because it knows its truth is grounded in that deep practice of oneness and non-duality.
The trees are showing us the way. I told Barbara when this tree fell down—it was an old tree, it was growing weak, and the evergreens here needed more light and space. She said, “Oh, the mulberry fell down in the storm!” And I said the mulberry laid itself down to make space for the evergreens that needed that space because they are much younger. Thank you, mulberry!
The earth knows what it’s doing. As I said, the forest fires clearing the way for the new forest of a higher vibration.
The seas—the seas will need a lot of help, the waters of the earth, to cleanse themselves. But the essence of these waters is pure. No matter how much pollution has fallen into the water, when you hold energy, love and light with that water—not to it, with it—and allow it to take a deep breath and release the toxins, you, as humans. How audacious to say, “I can release the toxins of the water.” The water can release its toxins when we hold it in light, support it to do so. Much like the children can recover from Covid when they are held in light and in love and and are permitted to throw off the virus.
As to the virus itself, for those who attend to it consciously—seeing that the virus has shifted certain functions of its body but that it is also opening a way, teaching the body how to release distortion—the virus can be seen as a teacher rather than as something to fear. It’s a teacher of a very hard class, standing over you until you pay attention and begin to release.
I’m using an image here, thinking of an image in my mind of the student who, behind a book, is doodling on the paper. Can’t resist. “I’m bored. I don’t like this class,” doodle, doodle, and suddenly looks up and sees the teacher. The teacher takes the paper, hands it back to the student. “What will you do with this?” The student takes the doodles, puts them aside, takes the pencil. The teacher doesn’t do it; the student does it. Puts it aside and says, “Okay, I am here to learn.”
Opening the way, releasing the resistance, because that resistance, whether it’s the student doodling or the waters polluted or the human consciousness filled with fear, it’s simply resistance to ascension into a higher vibration in which the human acknowledge, “My ego is not in charge. I am connected to everything, and until I live that interconnection this earth cannot thrive.” And the ego doesn’t want to let go.
The highest support is your mindfulness and your meditation practice, where the old patterns can release. Deeper Truth revels itself. You can rest there!
This is why I see Covid as a valuable teacher. It may not be the way I would have done it, but it’s not my plan. You have co-created it. It does have your attention!
Those who are highly resistant, saying, “I don’t want to let go of my ego,” etc., “I don’t want to get vaccinated. I don’t want to wear a mask,” these are the people who are going to eventually pass away, because the virus is here. It’s here to stay, at least for now. Those who can be flexible and learn to live with it and say, “Thank you for the reminder, Teacher. I’ll go and sit quietly, masked. I don’t need to join that party,” these are the people who will survive.
Thinking of what I just said, it sounds cruel, but it is simply the process of evolution. The virus is not seeking specific people out. It’s not aiming itself at people of a lower consciousness. It’s saying, “Here I am. And if you are awake enough you will understand how to co-exist with me and not get caught up with me. Eventually I’ll cease to do damage.”
Ah, I’m passionate about some of this! I think you know that we have a new class starting next week, The Eden Project, and this is going to be the focus of the class. Where is this Garden of Eden that the holy scriptures describe? In some ways you feel you have emerged from that Eden, emerged from the Dharmakaya, however you want to phrase it, from the heavenly realms down into this mundane consciousness. Well, where is the Dharmakaya? Where is the awakened heart? Are you ready to bring it back and live it? Where is the Eden that you stepped out of millions of years ago, into heavy-density human bodies and consciousness? Are you ready to reclaim that Eden; To know it’s still here; it has always been here? Are you ready?
The ego says, “No, I’ll lose control!” And love says, “Ah, yes—I’m ready.”
I will leave the body to Barbara. Thank you for this opportunity to talk with you.
