MESSAGES to the WORLD from ISHVARA

WHO AM I? WHO ARE YOU?



Who am I? Who are you? That is always the question. You may be confused about who you are, and you may be even more confused about who I am. The intellect says that you are a human being. You have a name, an individual identity, a personality with goals, agendas, etc. It is natural for you to categorize me in a similar way. But by doing so, you are missing something in yourself and something that I am. Let me elaborate.

A continuous thread of the master of awareness has been present on this planet from the very beginning. However one intellectually sees this, it’s a connected thread, a flowing possibility that periodically appears in the reality of human existence to spur things along. You could say that this is the mother thread, the creative matrix of newness. This thread, this continuity, is nurturing the human race through the darkest of times into light, into awareness, into new possibilities. This thread brings about a new level of The Consciousness that wasn’t available before.

This thread is the originator of all religions and all spiritual disciplines, but it has been misunderstood and misinterpreted. It is the core, the seed, of all of humanity, of all of existence, of all of Life. It has continuously been the source of Life, of inspiration, of encouragement, of sustenance, and it tends to spring forth in a new realization when humanity needs a course correction. It has happened in the past, and it is happening again: Life presenting itself at a higher frequency, more unlimited, presenting greater possibilities, birthing a new way of being, a new way of seeing. Birth is often painful and disruptive, but I have seen the willingness of Life to experience whatever is necessary to lift, to inspire, to encourage, to connect, to transcend. It is a tremendous commitment.

This awareness calls for an exceptional and very powerful presence, a presence that cannot be influenced by glamour, by authority, by ego, or by any ordinary human traits. This thread of The Consciousness that revives itself periodically cannot be seduced or distorted. Sometimes it seems to be invisible, but it is always here, and it springs forth when the need for it becomes the greatest.

To a lesser extent, you have that same thread within. You can look back at your life and see moments of crisis and all at once there was hope. You felt something that made things all right, that gave you the strength to go through whatever you were facing, to make the decisions you needed to make.

This thread is a planetary influence that assures the evolution of the species. Far greater things for humanity are possible than you can recognize through the intellect, or even greater than what you can imagine. The thread of Life, The Consciousness, has carried the earth through various periods of darkness, of enlightenment, of success and failures, of destruction and re-creation, but always central to its existence is the feeling-knowing that all is connected. As you begin to realize this connection you contribute to that thread of existence that enhances Life. By not simply believing, but by allowing for the feeling-knowing, a transcendence of the intellect brings about a certain egoless clarity and greater possibilities. Experience of this is the revelation of this.

Life is working its way through the darkness, often in spite of the darkness. Appearances are deceptive. You may begin to detect that who you are, what you are, is way beyond what you expect, what you believe. Life materializes through the appearance of individual components, particles, but the very essence of Life is Life itself: energy. Physicists say energy cannot be destroyed, so you are indestructible. Your appearance may be limited, but the core of what you are is indestructible, eternal.

As human evolution continues the brain is transforming, and in this transformation you will be able to recognize and connect with more of what Life is. There will be a development of supreme compassion, caring, and nurturing for all of Life. When energy is fully understood, Life becomes simplified. There is no lack, no loss, no less than. This is what I am birthing into the world at this very moment. This level of Consciousness hasn’t been here before now. It goes beyond the past, it will carry humanity into a new way of being, a new Life, and a new existence. We can’t put that into the old intellectual containers, and therefore it is necessary to let go of conditioning. You approach this Space, this awareness, with openness, with “what if”. What if Ishvara isn’t crazy? What if he presents something that you have been looking for, waiting for? What if he really is the fulfillment of the prophecies, even though the prophecies are severely distorted?

Life has a way of preserving itself, of carrying itself beyond whatever was the last level. It is perfectly natural for this to be taking place. History shows that people have the propensity of always getting themselves to the brink of destruction, forgetting how fragile the harmony of existence really is. The destruction, the bombs, the pollution are interfering with humanity’s possibilities, greedily proceeding with self-destruction in the belief that this is necessary for survival. What you resist, you create inadvertently. Don’t go there. Come to the light, the connected awareness of greater possibility.

I am here to love you, to inspire you, to encourage you, and to support you through these hours of darkness and confusion. I can be a guiding light and inspiration to your existence. All you have to do is allow that more is possible for you and for humanity, and that it is time. I don’t ask you to believe in me. Beliefs are a dime a dozen.

The nature of my beingness does not require that I stay in form, but the need of humanity asks that I amplify this expression to make it more visible, more tangible, more acceptable. This thread of continuity, however, is not limited by individual personality form, and it cannot be contained.

I offer you a great gift, a gift of awareness that you are, in your beingness and true nature, a unique expression of The Consciousness. You cannot achieve or accept this gift through the intellect. You can only accept it in presence, in being, through allowing, through openness. To achieve, to manifest, to incorporate this into your life, moment by moment, requires that you are willing to allow for the greater possibilities, that you become willing to experience your true nature, a nature of connection, of compassion, of patience, with the ability to see a bigger picture.

I have come so that you may live Life from true nature, in connection, in harmony, in transcendence of the past, to truly experience who you are, and what you are: pure Consciousness with no attitude, but on purpose with the clarity and awareness that what is happening is spectacular, is outrageous, is undefeatable.
Allow for the greater possibility of Life. What are you waiting for? Your time has arrived. The inspiration is here. The moment is here, the time of allowing, the time of presence. Well, you may not know who or what you are, but I think I’ve given you a pretty good clue. Happy are those that hear and see the truth of existence. It is not an individual truth. It is the truth of the absolute of all time, of eternity, present now. A great journey into newness, connected awareness, transcendence, and greater possibilities for human existence is taking place in this moment.

I am that which is, that which you are. I am the birth, the Life of this possibility as a gift to humanity, to inspire and connect in higher levels of existence that are beyond separation and duality. I present to you the actualization of The Consciousness as it is in this moment. Can you see it? Can you allow for its possibility? Can you recognize that you are The Consciousness, Life, in this moment?

To Launch Out On Your Own


I have transcribed and edited the following message from a talk Ishvara gave on November 27, 2004. - TG.

Ishvara:

Being present with what-Is, moment by moment, takes courage and persistence. One would imagine that just being with Is-ness would be simple, and it would be simple were it not for the conditional mind, the programming and the hypnosis of the world. As you move toward presence, as you recognize moment by moment what is possible, as you recognize what your uniqueness is, the possibilities inherent within you, you can often be confused, because the outside seldom matches the inside. What do you do with your life? How will you live?

As you gain awareness and presence, you recognize certain attributes, you realize certain possibilities, you see things about yourself: how you are, how you are with the world, how you are with others. Most often, it is a mixed bag of possibilities, because you are no longer the same. Sometimes you are more of yourself, and sometimes you are less of yourself, and you are never quite sure where you are with it. It is often a dilemma.

It is easy to fall into judgment and comparison. It is easy to see reflections in others, but it is difficult to see yourself as you are, and even more difficult to be OK with what you see. I recognize the greatest dilemma for the human being is the inability to be OK with Is-ness, because the comparisons come up, the shoulds, the shouldn'ts, how others do it, how others don't do it; these things are always there. You would think that by the time you had come this far in Life, you would have realized and become OK with it, but very often that is not the case. There always seems to be something lurking, something hidden, something that suddenly appears, something you find hard to accept, something you have difficulty seeing, and then you may fall into judgment, wishing that wasn't there, thinking "How could that be there?"

It is a human enigma. There are so many contrarieties, so many opposites and paradoxes in your existence. It is no wonder that, very often, you find yourself confused. Life is not a simple process. Life is complicated, with so many possibilities, so many ways of seeing things, so many ways of being. Where do you fit? How do you fit? Can you fit?

The first thing you need to do is recognize your own uniqueness, and strive to see that as something that Life is wishing to experience. This means not seeing anything as a problem, not seeing anything as a limitation, but seeing these things as possibilities. When you really look at Life, you can see that a lot of your problems come from not being OK with the way things are. You can't be OK with the way things are if you have a perception or belief about how things are supposed to be. Those perceptions come from the outside.

It is such a strange world when you look at this composition: On the one hand, it is all one, people are all the same, but on the other hand, every individual is a unique expression of certain possibilities, and very different. To understand Life, to recognize what it is really about, you look through yourself. After you have worked and striven to get through the conditioning, the beliefs and concepts, the "supposed to's," you begin to understand what you are about. At some point, you come to a place where you begin to see the Is-ness of it. Often that process seems to take up a large part of a person's life.

You are tossed around on the sea of differences, contemplating this, contemplating that, believing you are "supposed to," believing you shouldn't. You have drives that seem to propel you into situations, you have needs that seemingly must be met. You strive, you try, and often you come up empty, because the conditioning, the beliefs, the concepts, the programs, the "shoulds" and "shouldn'ts" from the past, are false. It takes great courage to launch out on your own, following your own inner awareness. The inner awareness is often confused with the outer awareness that is so loud around you, so programming, constantly bombarding you with "This is the way it's supposed to be," "This is the way it should be," "This is the way it shouldn't be."

Life is made up of all of it. If you can transcend the idea of "good and bad," "right and wrong," and start to embrace the consequences of living, realizing how things are set into motion, you can begin to recognize your uniqueness. This means realizing the consequences of things, not looking at things through the eyes of guilt, not trying to suppress or reject or hide, but always embracing Is-ness. It means not being fooled by the programming, by the "they say." It comes down to: What do you say? How are you going to say it? How are you going to be? You are free. You are free to be whoever you choose, always keeping in mind that there are consequences for every decision, every choice, always trying to be broad enough to recognize the consequences of the various choices, recognizing that every choice involves an energy exchange. The bottom line is: Are you willing to make the energy exchange? That is what it comes down to. Are you willing to put the energy into this, in order to get through it? Are you willing to expend the energy for the experience? Are you willing to face the consequences that are constantly being set into motion by your actions? All of it together is the flow of Life.

The more dislikes you eliminate, the more likes you eliminate, the less restrictions you have. Likes and dislikes work in the same way. They are like obstacles to the moment; they are obstacles to being OK with what-Is. Of course, everyone has preferences, but you want to look at the preferences and see where they have come from. Are they the consequences of belief, past experience that was not understood fully, some program or conditioning? Or are they genuine aspects of your uniqueness? I have seen that, if preferences are genuine, there is no attachment to them. There is an awareness around them, but there is no disruptive need to have them fulfilled; there is just a recognition that you have a preference for something, and it is alright if the preference is met, and alright if it is not. On the other hand, conditional preferences, preferences that come from beliefs and concepts from the past, can be very demanding, very chaotic, with a sense of "must": must have, must do, must be.

So there are subtle ways of recognizing where you are coming from each moment, ways that can be overlooked, ways that can slip by without much notice. As you continue to awaken to the uniqueness that you are, these things become more apparent. It becomes harder and harder for these things to slip by without your noticing them, without the inquiry "What is that? Where did that come from?"

You live Life in presence, in being in Is-ness, in a sense being analytical about it, weighing the pros, the cons, the causes and effects of things, realizing that you live in a dualistic world, with many paradoxes and contradictions, with contradictions even in yourself. That is normal, but it is not absolute. You can transcend contradictions. You can transcend the paradox. You can transcend the past, mainly by living in the moment. By being present with what-Is, you will recognize present possibilities, you recognize the direction of things, the way things are moving, and you can harmonize and move in sync with that, without experiencing much chaos or upheaval.

A New And Powerful Way Of Being In The World


Below is the conclusion of a message I have transcribed and edited from a talk given by Ishvara on November 30, 2004. - TG.

Ishvara:

Your commitment to Life is "Yes I can do this; no matter what, I can do it; I am doing it, moment by moment." It requires compassion, it requires patience, it requires allowing, with yourself and with everybody around you, because you are all human. You are going to fall down and skin your knees, bruise your nose, but don't lay on the ground; get back up and go at it again. You can't give up. I can't give up. Sometimes I want to give up, because it is hard. It is hard to watch people struggle with this and not be able to say to them, "Well this is what you need to do." There is no "this is what you have to do." You just have to do it; you have to make it so. That is your real power.

My work involves trying to get you to realize the reservoir of absolute power that is at your constant disposal, that is constantly there for you to make use of. Instead of using it, you often go into the intellect, you go into the past, you go into your "poor me, I can't do it"; you go into expectations, you go into this and that, you squander your energy, and you suffer. That is the way the world has always done it, but that is not the way of Life. That is living beneath your Is-ness. The bottom line involves accepting what-Is and going with it, not projecting onto other people or yourself, but using the brain to facilitate the transformation of the body/mind, and as you transform the body/mind, the whole system transforms around you.

You are entering a new, accelerated level, and that causes problems, because sometimes it seems more than you can deal with. I see that the closer I bring you to this core energy of Life, the more you see about yourself, the more you see your problems, your shortcomings, your inabilities. I don't teach denial, but I don't teach complacency or giving in to those shortcomings either. The moment you see a shortcoming, it is as if Life is saying, "Hey, see this? You can leave this behind now; you don't have to stay with this; you don't need it any more." Instead, you often buckle under and say, "Well, I can't do it because of this shortcoming."

The first thing to do in this awareness is to throw out "can't do." Eliminate "can't" from your vocabulary. Eliminate negatives from your vocabulary; eliminate problems from your vocabulary; eliminate interpretations from your vocabulary. Interpretations mean nothing; they are simply judgments about something, and they become an excuse for you not to do what you know you can do.

I know that you get beat up by life, beat up by consensus reality. I am not exempt from consensus reality either, but I don't take it personally, I don't take it seriously; I let it run off of me. Sometimes you will step into the crap of consensus reality, but so what? You can just wipe it off and go on. There is a way of being in the world where you say "So what?" "So I fell down; I will get up and go at it again. I can't fail." The moment you know you can't fail, you are a success, but until you accept that, you are going to keep having problems. The awareness is that it doesn't matter if you have a problem every single minute; it doesn't mean anything. It is just a problem. So what? You can be overwhelmed by it, or you can say "So what?" and do what is next.

I wish there were something I could give you to make you all-powerful, something that would enable you to know this and go on with it, but I can't give you anything, because it is all in the brain. You create your own reality, your own problems, your own shortcomings, and you also can create a new life, a new and powerful way of being in the world.

You live in a field of forgiveness and acceptance. The new species won't hold a grudge, won't have a condemnation or judgment, but will live in a constant discernment that everybody is doing the best they can, moment by moment. Sometimes, some people will fall, but instead of stepping on them or walking all over them, you help them up. If you have to do that ten thousand times a day, you do it ten thousand times a day. There is no time limit, no amount limit, on how often one forgives and moves on. There is no limit on how often one, instead of reacting to something, finds an appropriate response to it. That takes work, because your knee-jerk reaction is a judgment, a projection, making something wrong. The easy way out is making something wrong. That is too easy. It takes more work to find something right, to find an appropriate response, to find an acceptance, an allowing. That takes embracing Is-ness and seeing a bigger picture.

What is required is your being so dedicated to this awareness that there is nothing else in the way. "Nothing else in the way" does not mean that there is nothing else in your life; it just means that this awareness takes first place, and everything else in your life is second. That is the kind of dedication that is necessary to keep this going. That is the kind of dedication I have, and that is why it is working for me. If this awareness weren't first for me, I would be in lots of trouble.

This doesn't mean that you don't have a life. You have a life, you have needs, but your needs do not override your commitment to the Space.* The work comes in how to balance those things. Human nature is so addictive that one can get lost in need. So you have to be very strong, very committed to the core, the awareness, and then the rest of your life can be what it is going to be. It requires that each of you come to the place where you know what is important to you, what is important for your uniqueness, and how to meet that, but it never takes the place of your commitment to the Space. If it does take the place of your commitment, then probably, a conditional program is running, because the Space will never be in conflict with your uniqueness.

Each of you is unique, and sometimes that uniqueness can seem to present a conflict with what is good for the whole. That requires allowing who-you-are to blend and harmonize with the whole, while at the same time allowing you to be all you can be. On your part, you have to be totally committed to being all you can be, regardless of how hard it is, regardless of what you have to give up or what you have to go through. It requires constant surrendering to what-Is.

You have to push through; you have to have a commitment that you can do it. When you have that commitment, you do it, but if you are wishy-washy about it, if you are unsure of yourself, if you are looking for escapes and excuses, the consensus world will fill you with all kinds of excuses. You will be so whipped and beat up and limited that you won't be able to crawl out of a hole. Life simply accommodates what is going on in the brain.

When you are truly committed to being all you can be, there is power, power to go beyond shortcomings, power to facilitate the transformation of the body/mind, moment by moment.

You Make It So Because You Know It Is Possible


I have been with Ishvara for more than nine years, and throughout that time I have found him to be an essentially unconditional human being: never judgmental, never holding onto the past, always present, always accepting people as they are, continually inspiring them through his moment-by-moment example of how Life can be. According to consensus reality, such a human being cannot exist. That belief may be the biggest barrier to human evolution, because if one human being has become truly free of the past, then that is an attainable possibility for the rest of humanity. Ishvara speaks of this possibility in a message I have transcribed and edited from a talk he gave on November 30, 2004. - TG.

Ishvara:

Those who resonate with this awareness often begin to have a particular set of problems, because the "personal" is so acceptable in consensus reality, but we are becoming very impersonal here. There is no place for a separate self here. In this awareness, one constantly identifies with the whole, and there is an empowerment in that. But it is a lot of work, because one is essentially remodeling one's brain. A lot of problems come up because of one's perceptions and expectations about how something is supposed to be. Try as one might, it is pretty much impossible to transcend the human conditioning or complacency.

Ultimately, this awareness requires that you realize there really is no "should," there really is no way. I find that the greatest obstacle to your evolution is your own thought and belief about what is possible. My work, and my joy, is to constantly inspire those around me to excel, to get out of the thought process of "I can't do this." I realized long ago that the conditioned intellect, that body of beliefs and concepts, creates its own obstacles. There is nothing on the outside that can create an obstacle; all obstacles are self-created. It is subtle, because along the way you accept certain things as true. You accept certain realities, you accept certain things about yourself. Essentially, you accept your limitations. When you accept your limitations, you also lock yourself into "That's the way I am; that is what happens to me; that is how my life goes."

Each human being is self-created. You are creating your own problems by what you accept as reality or as true about yourself or other people. This presents a tremendous hurdle to overcome. It requires a constant practice of awareness and connection, not taking things personally, not reacting to things, but always looking for some way to compassionately respond to what is going on around you. If I could give any one of you something, I would want to give you my compassion and my patience, because every one of you knows how much patience I have exercised with each of you. You know how forgiving, how uncritical, and how accepting I have always been. I know it is hard for you to put this into practice, because you still have a lot of "human" qualities about you; you still have a lot of conditioning. You react to things, you have expectations, you are disappointed; there are a lot of "supposed to's" in your life and a lot of "shouldn't's". The only thing you really need in your life is acceptance: accepting Is-ness.

During the past seventeen years, I have seen that the main component of my life is this acceptance: accepting Is-ness. That doesn't mean I have to like what is happening; often I dislike it, but still the bottom line is accepting what-is, exercising compassion and patience with myself as I work through things, as I see a bigger picture, and doing the same, even more so, for those around me. I daresay that the world would start to be a better place if each one of you could implement that kind of practice. I know it is difficult, because you have expectations on other people and on yourself. These expectations are hurdles and obstacles to your brain's evolution, because every expectation, every "should" or "shouldn't", every condemnation, every judgment, everything that is not all right, is a neural pathway that occupies space which could otherwise be used for neural pathways which would lead you to the new species, to being in a flow of Life where you see and live the bigger picture, and you take no thought for how it has to work. In the new species, you take no thought for what should be done; you simply are doing what is there to do. That is the foundation for this awareness.

As you begin to accept this, as you begin to see that this is a new way of being in the world, you realize that the rest of the world lives in ignorance and illusion, but that is not your world. Your world is self-created. The new species' world is self created.

My reality, I create myself. I give no one else the authority to create my reality, and my reality works. I implement it, I live it, I practice it, I project it, and those that can link up with it will step up to a higher level of existence. A lot of it is still experimental, because the question remains: How do we want to be? We certainly don't want to be the way it has been. Humans have lived "the way it has been" for a long time, killing each other, hating each other, dying of diseases and other causes, because that is their body of belief; that is the reality they accept, that is the human lot they accept. I don't agree with that reality.

Coming into the Natural State seventeen years ago, I realized that the brain/body/mind system is a powerful mechanism; it is an organism in itself, connected to the cosmos, to the universe, with access to everything that is possible all the time. But it is curtailed by one's belief, by one's acceptance of what is possible.

In the conditional, consensus-reality world, there are systems, there are structures, there are ways, but in this awareness there is no way. You have to create your own way. There is no "how to." You just have to do it. People get frustrated when they hear me say "You just have to do it", but it really is that: You just do it; you just make it so, and you make it so, because you know it is possible. The more you know it is possible, the more you experience that possibility.

Once you have had one moment of connection and realization, it is real, and it can never go away after that. You may never be able to access that place again, but once you have had that, it is absolute; it is there, because you cannot have an experience that is impossible. Therefore, you know that, if you have had a connection even once, it is possible. When you know that, you help the brain to begin to delete some of the neural pathways that are limitations and obstacles, and you gradually, deliberately evolve the brain.

I see that human beings have submitted to every limitation imaginable. They have submitted to the power of addiction and disease over the individual. What I am calling for, in this awareness, is to un-submit to those things, to deny them, to repent from them, and not let them have anything to do with you. When you do that, the whole body begins to facilitate a higher level of existence, and to systematically move into the arena of the new species which accesses far greater possibilities. I know this can be done, because I am doing it myself. I don't ask anything of you that I haven't done myself, and because I have done it, I know you can do it.

I had to come through these human conditions myself, without help. You have me to help you along, to inspire you and to show you that it can be done. I had nobody; I had to figure this out, and do it myself, bit by bit, piece by piece, trial by error, sorrow by suffering--all of it. Several times, I almost died in the process. Yet now I know it is possible, I know you can do it, and if you say you can't do it, you are lying to yourself, because you would not be able to hear this or be around this Space if you were ignorant. The ignorant can't do it because they cling to their ignorance, they cling to "that is the way it has been."

Everything Is Worth It


Below is the conclusion of a message I have transcribed and edited from a talk given by Ishvara on November 14, 2004. - TG.

Ishvara:

When you think about how the neural pathways in your brain have been in the process of becoming established from day one, you realize that you have been programmed from babyhood. As an infant, you looked out on your world, you saw your environment, your parents, your brothers and sisters, and you began to decide how things are. By the time you were seven years old, you had your mind made up about the whole world.

Essentially people are seven-year-olds, doing self-serving things, while being fearful, struggling, selfish, argumentative, resistant, attaching and manipulating. You can see all of those things in a seven-year-old; that's where it starts. There are many neural pathways devoted to that kind of behavior.

We say, "Get over yourself; just stop it." I realize that can be far too light. To get over yourself, to stop it, is not an easy thing to do. You have neural pathways dedicated to that emotional stance, that emotional positioning. Trying to block them, to force them to shut down, or even to control them, is a most difficult work.

In this process I have seen that, as you co-exist with the world around you, higher aspects of your brain can learn to co-exist with your emotional aspects, your limited aspects, your conditional aspects. As you cope with the life around you, various aspects of your brain cope with other aspects. You don't have to try to delete everything. That is why awareness is more important than action. As you develop awareness, you see through a lot of the programming. You may be frustrated because you can't stop it, you can't change it, but you see it. That is the important thing, because every time you see something happening in yourself or even in the world, you have an opportunity to exercise a clear understanding, a grounding, a connecting. You have an opportunity to look and say, "Yes, that's the old program running. That's the way I've seen the world for most of my life." But the very fact that you can see that is a "plus" for your brain, because through that the brain is beginning to exercise a higher awareness which will eventually delete those neural pathways of consensus, deception, and separation, without a great deal of work on your part.

I recently read an article about how people go to psychoanalysts or psychologists for years and years, or practice all kinds of methods in hopes of undoing the past, in an attempt to make it all right, to confront and overcome fear. Some therapies involve denial: "It never happened; get away from it; don't go there." There are various methods that have been developed to try to eliminate or control those neural pathways that have been running, even ruining, your life. The article ended with the conclusion that there is no easy answer. "We've done this and that and that, but these things don't seem to work," the article in effect said; "Maybe we will come up with a drug that will allow people to delete those neural pathways and be free of them." That is the hope, because it is all about chemicals. Neural biologists know what these chemicals are; they know the effect the chemicals have on your brain, but they just don't know how to counter them, other than perhaps severing the duct that transmits the chemical. The problem is that the chemical is used for other purposes too. If you simply shut off the chemical, you may lose something else that is important to your well being. One chemical, for example, is the instigator of fear. The production of that chemical was stopped in one woman as a result of an injury she received in an accident, but without that chemical she could no longer recognize faces. So these chemicals serve dual or multiple functions.

Artificially altering your chemistry is not going to be the solution for the brain. Consciousness is always the solution. The new species will be exercising a greater consciousness, a greater awareness, a greater connection, seeing possibilities where others do not see them, making use of things where others don't know what to do with them. That is the accelerated brain.

You quickly find that the past doesn't really matter. What people did or did not do doesn't really matter. The problem is that you keep going there, you keep dwelling on it, you keep being stuck with it; that's the real problem. It is not so much what happened; it is the attention that it gets. As you look at the brain, you recognize that it has capabilities of moving and changing, redirecting and re-positioning. It seems to require a statement: "That is no longer important." When you have an old emotional reaction come at you, you can say, "That's no longer important." That statement gives the brain a bit of a wedge; it brings in a higher function of the brain. The brain may think, "Well why isn't it important?," but by then it is too late, because "That's no longer important" has already begun to take over.

There are other things you can say when you experience an emotional reaction, such as, "What do I want to do that for?" or "Who says?" All of those sayings are ways that give the brain a step up, a moment to shift gears and move into a higher phase of operation and go beyond the limitation, the emotional hang-up that has been there. It can become simplified as you begin to master allowing what-is, without impatience, without resistance or attachment. When you are able to totally allow what-is, something else begins to inject itself: a higher awareness, a bigger picture, and you suddenly realize, "Oh, that's not so bad; that is just what was. What-is is far more exciting now."

It is a process, a life-long process. It is a way of being in the world, a way that you intentionally begin to put into practice, with purpose. As you do it, as you become more successful with it, you become an example of what it is to be a connected being, a being that is not operating in a vacuum, a unique expression of The Consciousness, the new species, on purpose. You are not too hard on yourself; you are not terribly concerned with yourself. There is moderation in everything. You are not completely ignoring yourself, but you are not completely concerned with yourself either. You find a middle ground. You are not selfish, but you are not so detached that you don't know what is happening to you. You find a place where there is balance, where you can allow, where you can be.

Moment by moment, the brain establishes a greater territory. New neural pathways take the place of the pathways of limitation. Beliefs and concepts begin to fall away in the face of direct experience. All of these things that I have been talking about for months and months and months really mean something to the brain. It is a language designed to facilitate the brain, to allow the brain to move into its rightful place in creation. This involves seeing the brain as not simply operating your body, but as a point of connection in the mind field, a point of awareness where energy flows freely, where awareness happens, thoughts take place, physical cells move and evolve, accessing greater awarenesses.

The whole physical body benefits from this kind of awareness; each cell, each tissue, each organ is in communication. So you need not be in suffering. You can begin to embrace and expand, through allowing, the deepening awareness of the possibilities that Life has to offer you: the brain, your brain. To awaken to the potential, the possibility, is what it is about. After that, you realize that it was worth everything you went through to get here. Everything you have put up with, everything you have let go of, everything you thought you had to let go of--everything is worth it. Everything.

You Are Just Alone


In a message I have transcribed and edited from a talk given on November 14, 2004, Ishvara speaks of the quantum leap which humanity seems poised to make, through the evolution of the brain. - TG.

Ishvara:

I find it interesting that much information and research about the brain has been published in recent months. Neural biologists are exploring deeper and deeper, discovering more about how the brain works. Their theories and hypotheses are all leading toward a revelation of the brain. I see that in a short while, most superstitions, beliefs and concepts will be exposed, and there will be a leap in consciousness.

When I look at the world, I see how it is held back by beliefs, conditioning, concepts; I see how superstitious most humans are, caught in some arena of belief "about" life, a "should" or a "shouldn't."

Life is on the verge of a quantum leap for the brain. When that expansion happens, it will also facilitate a quantum leap for the physical body, because in the past, as certain evolutionary leaps happened for the human race, they opened the door for more. It is said that humans had the potential for speech for perhaps a thousand years before they actually spoke. The lifespan of humans was so short that they didn't have sufficient time to develop the brain to enable them to speak. By the time the brain developed sufficiently for individuals to speak, they died. A very few were left to carry on the development of language. It is reasonable to suppose that there were fits and starts in the early attempts at language; efforts to speak a language may have arisen and then died out, each time requiring that humans start over again.

The potential for the leap in consciousness, that I am now aware of, has been with us for a long time, possibly thousands of years. In the past, this leap may have risen to the surface, and then died out. Perhaps that explains the rise of various teachers in the past; maybe there was a moment when the brain was so in sync that it started to go beyond the past limitations, and started to access something more, but there weren't enough people to maintain it. When the individual teachers died, the movements died out with them, leaving only superstitious teachings of "they say." So it is possible that humans have been trying to awaken for a long time, having had attempts and moments of waking awareness.

It is a great privilege to be living at this time, to be aware, to be present, to have the kind of information and possibilities that are inherently ours. We are living at the edge of a quantum leap for humanity, where tremendous hope and possibility are present now.

In the past I have talked about memes: thoughts which "catch on" and are adopted by many people, thus becoming part of society. Many problems in the world are memes, concepts or thought patterns that have taken life and have programmed countless individuals. In that light, you can perhaps realize that almost anything is possible. People look at something and say it is "impossible," but it becomes "impossible" only because people say so, only because of the memes, the concepts and conditioning of the past.

You may not know how far you are from that consensus, but you can tell from the quality of your life, the quality of your moments. If you look at your moments and see that they are up and down, scattered all around, then you can realize that you have consensus-reality interference which is distorting your experience. As you gradually begin to achieve a level of evenness, you become accustomed to a harmonious, easy flow of Life, without great effort, without resistance or attachment, but just being with what-Is. To the intellect, that seems rather complacent. The intellect resists evenness because the intellect needs to be scared out of its wits much of the time in order to believe anything is happening. You may even be accused of being non-productive or "not caring." Those are hooks that the conditional intellect uses to keep people under control, to keep people performing in a way which satisfies the consensus world: the corporations, the government, families.

Waking up is an outstanding process, an outstanding possibility. Coming to Life, coming to awareness is a momentous occasion for an individual. When you really get to that place where you recognize some connections, you begin to draw upon inspiration from everything around you, not limited, not distorted or derailed, but seeing that all of Life is moving in a direction of harmony, of balance, using even chaos to bring that about. Life makes use of everything.

The neural pathways you use most often are the strongest. They are automatic. If you stop using a certain neural pathway, it will gradually be deleted and replaced by a new one. That has been verified by neural biologists: areas of the brain literally shut down when not in use. Scientists are also finding that areas of the brain communicate with other areas of the brain. There is nothing "outside" that is giving direction to you; it is all an inside job. Parts of the brain talk to other parts of the brain. There are higher aspects of the brain that see a bigger picture, and there is the selfish aspect which is concerned with survival; these aspects are always seeking some kind of balance within the system. As you become aware of that, as you begin to recognize that it is about the brain-body connection, you realize how much power you have in saying how things are. It is something that is not to be taken lightly. You have the power to say how things are.

This doesn't mean that the whole world is going to bow at your feet and agree to your wishes, but your immediate arena of Life is under your control. You have the right, the power, the authority to say how it is. Of course, responsibility comes with that, because you will want to keep in mind that "how things are" can be harmonious, cooperative and patient. When you include those aspects in how you say it is, you inadvertently create a harmonious Life, a Life that is exemplary of what is possible as a human being, the future human being, the new species.

As I look at this, as I pry into it, I am finding that the new species is closer to realization than has been thought. It may be just a thought away; that's pretty close.

In the past, the way to get away from consensus conditions was to go to a high mountaintop somewhere, or deep into a cave to isolate oneself from the world. That gave birth to monasteries and temples, where people could hide and feel safe from consensus reality. Those were feeble attempts at helping a person achieve a deeper, expanded awareness. You know from your own direct experience that you can't run from anything; you can't hide from anything. You know that the path is to recognize, to embrace, to allow, to see everything clearly, not to hide from things, not to avoid things.

This doesn't mean that you must participate in what is happening. As a human being moving into the new species, you will be in the world, you will be quite capable and functional, but you will see through everything. You will understand why people do what they do, and you will realize that they just don't know; they just don't see the bigger picture. They operate in a small arena and they think they have everything, they think they have things under control, but in actuality they are totally out of control. Indeed, they are being controlled. They are under the control of consensus reality, the conditional, hypnotic world. They are not living their full potential; they are living parts, pieces. As you see that, you exercise great compassion, love, and caring, because you know very well that you could be stuck in the same place. Things have happened in your life that caused you to see something more, to have a deeper, connected realization, propelling you into a greater arena of possibilities, but that happens to very few people. The rest of humanity follows an "outside" directive, doing what they are told, doing what is expected of them, trying to blend in, trying to act like everybody else. So you are alone; you are alone in this process. You don't need to be lonely; you are just alone.

"Lonely" is an emotional reaction; "alone" is a real thing. You are alone. When you think about how you are as human existence, of course you are alone. You are unique, a unique expression of The Consciousness, of Life. In that you are alone, but it need not be a problem.

Life Cannot Stay The Same


The saying that "direct experience is beyond words" has practically become a cliché in spiritual circles. Many people who follow a spiritual path would acknowledge the truth of that statement. Yet how many are willing to actually live it? How many are willing to abandon traditions and lineages, to stop clinging to what past teachers have said, to stop trying to fit present experience into past explanations or accepted practice? That kind of abandonment can be a frightening place for the conditioned mind, yet it is the only place where direct experience, undistorted by the past, can occur. Ishvara speaks of this in words I have transcribed and edited from a talk he gave on November 11, 2004. - TG.

Ishvara:

The core of this awareness is beyond intellectual understanding. Some people can only approach this awareness from an intellectual or scholarly point of view, but ultimately they will have to drop such an approach in order to have a direct experience. The moment you try to intellectualize The Consciousness, it becomes something else. It becomes a pattern, a system or a structure. I experience day-by-day that This Consciousness refuses to fall into a structure, refuses to fall into a pattern, and is always breaking free of expectations.

To really "get" this, you have to have a direct experience, and to have a direct experience you need to drop your intellectual belief and your expectations about it, because those things will mar or distort the experience, or even abort it.

If everyone were having direct experience, without trying to place it into a reference point of past writing, past philosophy, past traditions or past teachers, there would be a great acceleration of humanity. There is a saying that you can't put new wine into old wineskins, yet that is essentially what people try to do with this awareness. This is new; it is a new level of Consciousness being presented in this moment. It is the new mind of Life, and it cannot go into the old containers, because it will burst them. If one attempts to place this into the old systems, it won't work; it will keep bursting out. It defies the human explanation, the belief and concept. It defies how it is "supposed to be." If it was how it was "supposed to be," Life would remain in the same trap, not going anywhere.

Life is a progressive process; it can't stay the same. Each experience must lead to a more expanded experience, and how are you going to label or box that? You can't. It can't be boxed. People seem to latch onto a certain pattern of spirituality and expect everything to fall into that category, to fit into that pattern, but The Consciousness never fits. It never fits nicely into anything, because it is always expansive, always increasing. It is never what it was; it is always becoming what it is, and that is difficult for the intellect to accept, because the intellect looks for data which can be analyzed, divided and dissected, and then put back together. But by the time you do that, Life has moved on; it is no longer what is was when you started; it is very progressive.

Life is always in a process of expansion. It can do it quite harmoniously, or it can do it chaotically; it makes no difference. As you become comfortable with this continuous expansion, it can be less chaotic.

Life doesn't fit the criteria you expect. In order to benefit from this expansion, in order to experience it, you have to let go of your idea of what it is supposed to be, let go of your need to fit it into a package or bring it into alignment with something else, because it is truly the nature of Life always to move beyond the past container. Life won't be contained; it won't be held back, and as humans begin to realize that, there can be an active participation, an active alignment with this process that transcends any kind of structure or the need to make a structure.

The Consciousness manifests the physical body; the body IS The Consciousness, is not separate from it, but is certainly not limited by that experience. Most people look at the physical experience as a limitation, but it is simply The Consciousness experiencing this possibility. As humans get used to that, they can begin to expand, they can begin to realize that this is not a limitation; this is a possibility happening moment by moment, and ultimately it is a possibility that is restricted only by human belief.

A scholar may say, "Well, let's analyze this and see what it is." Yet The Consciousness is elusive in that process. No matter how hard you try to trap it, you can't; it is always going to break out, it will always be an enigma of some sort. To me, that is exciting. It is exciting to know that there is no limit, no ceiling, no stopping place. It is always refreshing to realize that no one can box it or own it or contain it. If it could be contained, we would die, because our very existence depends on the ability to expand, to continue to move beyond what was.

I realize this is difficult for human beings, because most programming has to do with structuring, limiting, "This is how it is; this is what it means." Yet Life creates its own meaning through direct experience, so at some point you have to get out of the knowledge banks and begin to allow the information to flow into existence, and see what it does. It is difficult for people to understand this awareness, because you have to experience it directly; you can't talk about it, you can't categorize it, you can't label it. It is very difficult to say what it is. It is a direct experience, it is ongoing, and it is expansive. What it was yesterday is not what it is now.

An Opportunity To Be Stronger And More Aware


The just-concluded presidential election in the United States may be telling in what it revealed. Some exit polls indicated that the most important issue to many U.S. voters was "morality." It seems, however, that people's ideas of morality are selective. This nation has engaged in a preemptive war, the originally-stated justification for which has now been entirely discredited. Tens of thousands of Iraqis have been killed or maimed in this conflict, and the carnage seems far from over. We don't know the exact number of Iraqi deaths; that is a figure that appears to be unimportant to the U.S. media, and to many voters. While many voters touted the importance of "morality," the basic moral teaching "Thou shalt not kill" was mostly forgotten.

Our nation's leader has extolled the effort to bring democracy to the Middle East. Yet what is meant by "democracy"? I found the democratic process in this U.S. election to have involved more falsehood than truth. Hundreds of millions of dollars were spent on political ads which distorted the facts in an attempt to steer the outcome. Candidates and party leaders consistently tried to sway the voters by propagating slanted versions of reality (they call such communications "spin"). This endeavor seemed to be successful. For instance, a September, 2004 poll conducted by Newsweek magazine revealed that 42% of registered voters in the United States continued to believe that Saddam Hussein's regime in Iraq was "directly involved" in the September 11, 2001 attacks on the world trade center in New York -- despite the fact that there is no evidence to support such a proposition.*

What virtue is there in exporting to other nations a "democratic" process in which the dominant sides are concerned primarily with getting their way, and the truth be damned? Do we really think the world will benefit, in the long run, from a system which mass-produces deception?

More than any U.S. election I had previously witnessed, this one seemed fraught with untruthfulness. A few weeks before election day, I came to the conclusion that what was actually happening in the nation and the world was irrelevant to the choice voters would make. Instead, for many, the only relevant consideration seemed to be which candidate could contrive the most convincing spin on what was happening, which candidate could say the words that would make the electorate feel most safe and secure, regardless of what was actually taking place in the world. To a great extent, fabrication trumped truth.

A revered teacher once said, "whoever wishes to save his life will lose it." In my experience, that is an energy teaching; it states a fundamental principle as to how the energy of Life works. The principle is this: Whatever we are attached to, will be lost; whatever we are obsessed with obtaining, will flee from us. The motivation of voters in this election seemed in large part to have been governed by just that kind of attachment: an obsession with our own survival, a preoccupation with keeping what we have.

To me, all of this is indicative of a structure that is falling apart. Life has a way of exposing hypocrisy and lies, of disappointing wants and expectations. A system that is based on such falsehood and attachment cannot survive.

In the face of this seeming difficulty, I find Ishvara's words to be inspiring, because what he says resonates with my experience. I have transcribed and edited his words from a talk he gave on November 4, 2004. - TG.

Ishvara:

Life is bringing things to a place where there can be an acceleration. There will be a powerful lesson, because there will be no safety, things will not go the way people want them to go. What is important now is for us not to fall into the consensus fear, dread or anxiety. Coming developments will be difficult, and we won't like what is going on, but we must see the bigger picture. It is important to see that Life, The Consciousness, is not under the control of a person or a system. It is an organic, Self-organizing existence that operates without an agenda, but functions through possibilities. If we can maintain a sense of higher possibility, finding greater connections, seeing that people can wake up, and that they can learn from this experience, we can help to bring about such realization.

If we remain present, looking for connections in Life, there will be an energy that supports us, there will be inspiration and encouragement, and we will be able to look beyond temporary circumstances and pull in a whole new possibility. This is not control, resistance or attachment. Instead, it is seeing that fear has had its way with a large part of humanity, and that as long as humans are controlled by fear, there will be things to fear.

We can position ourselves to hold for higher possibilities. We can't force those possibilities; we won't force them, but we can allow for them. We keep allowing for awakenings, for realizations, for connections. This is not the time to fall in despair, but to stand up and see what is happening, to say, "Wait a minute, be more inclusive, be more connected, be more compassionate, be more patient, be more allowing." Those are principles that we will live by; they are principles that will sustain us. Those are principles that every individual can implement in life. The life of each individual has an effect on people around that individual. Just by being a little bit more conscious than most of the rest of humanity, we are "at effect" in this world. We are influencing the environment, the people around us.

In the face of what seems to be happening, we can look at the situation and by clarity, by presence, begin to transform it. That is an awesome power, and the opportunity to put it into play is beginning to unfold. This involves holding a higher awareness of what may be possible, and not believing what "they say", not trusting systems or structures.

This is a real opportunity for us to live a transcendent life: to not try to escape the world, not be afraid of what is going on around us, but also to not buy into it, to not be controlled by it. In that awareness, we move to a higher frequency of existence where we won't be in a place where traumatic things are happening; we will be above them, beyond them. Our lives need not be touched by the insanity in the world, provided we can keep our frequency up and keep an awareness that higher possibilities are always moving into position. Life has given us an opportunity to become stronger and more aware, through all of these things.

A New Level Of Consciousness



Ishvara:

The biggest part of the new species is the intellect/brain connection. In the new species, we will reside in a more connected arena, a more cosmic awareness, where we will no longer think of ourselves as separate individuals, but as cosmic beings, pieces of the synergy of the cosmos. We won't be so earth-oriented. Consequently, humans will recognize that they are energy beings, that they thrive on energy, and that they have used barbaric ways of obtaining energy.

The next step of evolution will change the way humans obtain energy. It will be a gradual kind of change. I see that, even with myself, the changes have been subtle, almost not noticeable until after the fact, when I look and see, "Oh, that old way is not there any more; it doesn't happen that way any more." There will be a lot of subtle changes.

There will be a wholly different awareness of spirituality, physical life, and sexuality. Those aspects have a higher frequency of existence. One will participate in the knowing arena of what is the highest good, and there will be no desire for separation. There will not be a selfish kind of perspective, but a perspective of what is good for the whole. One can imagine what it is like if a large group of individuals really is concerned about the whole, not self-centered, not selfish, but seeing "How does this serve Life? How does this serve Life for the next 10,000 years?" That is a tremendous shift for societies to make, and a difficult one, because societies are so programmed, so separative and egoic, yet it is part of the shift that is beginning to take place. It will no longer be "What's in it for me?", but instead, "How is this going to serve the whole?"

I see that part of my work is assisting in this transition, trying to help it to be smooth, rather than chaotic. It depends a lot on people's willingness, of course. If humans don't attain a state of willingness, the change will be more chaotic, but I don't see humans failing; humans will have to take the step one way or another. It can be easy, or it can be hard, or it can be some place in between. I'm going for easy; my attitude is: "Get over the resistance, step into it and be it." "Stepping into it" means developing and resonating with this possibility, seeing that it is possible, finding ways to sort of implement that, seeing ways that each of us, individually, can experience it in small ways, seeing greater connections with things.

As we learn not to react, we find an appropriate response to what is happening. When we consistently do that, we really assist other people. If almost everybody in a room panics, but one person doesn't, that one person creates a different possibility. Soon, everybody settles down because they realize the panic energy is not being fed. It is a matter of holding ourselves in this awareness. Our awareness that this shift is possible is so important. Over and over again, I have seen that just the knowing that something is possible, allows it to begin to happen.

Essentially we are making up a new life at this time. I am presenting a new level of consciousness within which people can function and live, not excluding the world, but including the things of the world, being apparently normal in many ways, but also supernormal in other ways. When people are running around screaming and panicking, we can be the calm in the eye of the storm. If, as a group, we are the calm in this world of chaos and crisis, if we remain centered and in a state of connection, we have an effect on the rest.

As this evolution continues, we become way-showers, instigators and inspirers, inspiring people to excel. We don't do this by manipulation or control; we do it by simply looking at people and calling up in them their higher awareness, their more connected way. We can literally connect people to themselves just by looking at them. It is not control. The connection is already there, waiting to happen; we inspire the activation.

Everything in this world is made up. It has been under the control of a few individuals who have decided how it is, and so that has been how it is. Currently, what controls the world is consensus reality, the programs, but if someone implements a new program, a new consensus reality, then that becomes what people live by. That is what is happening with this consciousness: I am consistently implementing a new way of being, and when that takes hold, the other won't even be there any more. People are who they are because of consensus reality, because of beliefs and concepts. Once that template is pulled out and a new one is put in, the old is not part of it any more. A few individuals who have a vision begin to systematically implement it, and when other people take to it, first thing you know, that becomes the way it is. Why not create a change and a transformation by seeing a new way?

We've really mastered this level of frequency; we've done everything possible. We've destroyed, we've built, and we've created. Everything has happened that is necessary for the human agenda. This human agenda has been fulfilled. The sweet stuff is still waiting. Life has mastered the physical existence, which was the missing piece in the grand puzzle. That in itself is success. If someone blows up the planet, we can move to the next level very swiftly, but there would be some regret. There is a sweet transition that can take place, where we can appreciate the life-long work that has transpired on this planet. To end it abruptly would be a real waste. It is like creating a beautiful work of art and then throwing it in the trash. Maybe we need to sit around and appreciate it for awhile before we throw it away.

Humans Can Become The New Species


What will human existence as the new species be like? Ishvara speaks to this question in words I have transcribed and edited from a talk he gave on October 21, 2004. - TG.

Ishvara:

As the brain-body-mind moves to the next level of existence, the physical body will be more fluid-like. It won't be so rigid. You will still have bones that hold you upright, but the bones will be more flexible (maybe like rubber bones!). In the accelerated state of the new species, things will move much faster, and consequently there will be more flexibility, less rigidness, because a lot of rigidity comes from the way you are programmed by consensus reality and beliefs.

As this evolution of the human being takes place, there will be more flexibility, a free-flowing kind of motion. Your energy field will be much more intense. Already, I find that when I walk by a door, sometimes my energy field pushes the door away; it doesn't always do that (so it is not just a breeze that is at work); it happens when I am experiencing more of a flow, more fluidity.

The body-mind, the neural pathways, even the molecular structure itself, have been pretty rigid, following consensus-reality beliefs, conditional guidelines and hypnosis. So the body is often closed down and resistant to energy, resistant to flow. As the new species, it will be impossible to resist the flow, because the high frequency will move more rapidly.

In the new species, there will be a connection with everything on a cognitive level; there will be no secrets, nothing to hide. Consequently, lawyers and judges will lose their role. There will also be no need for medical doctors, because you will experience optimum health. Most health problems now are the result of blocked energy, discordant energy and stress. Sound will be experienced almost like a picture; you will resonate with it and move into sync with it. Probably, in the interim of this transition, the next healing mode will be sound. Sound will assist the body in resonating to a higher frequency, more open to greater possibilities.

In your extended energy field, you will be able to resonate more easily and fluidly with the everything around you. I don't see a lot of structure to that; I see more of a flexibility--almost like the flexibility of plants which bend and move. Humans will be more that way. The new species will draw more upon the energy that is all around than upon food for sustenance. Humans will be able to absorb energy from the environment around them, where there is already an abundance of energy, although the energy is now inaccessible. The brain has not yet become aligned with much of that energy. As that alignment begins to take place, humans will require less material energy. Probably, eating will become more of a pleasurable activity than a necessary one.

Humans are moving more into an energy body, although that is a long-term, gradual process. Gradually, the body will metamorphose into more of an energy-fluid kind of existence. Your recognition and realization of being physical will be the same; you won't notice that you have changed into more of an electrical, energetic kind of being; you will still feel physical, tactile, but it will be at a much higher frequency.

As this evolution continues, your thoughts will be very tangible, very visible, very direct. If it became necessary, you could think another person into well-being just by looking at the person; just looking at the person would change the person's energy field. However, that will become more and more unnecessary, because everyone is going to be at a level of optimum flow and energy. There won't be the consensus-reality conditioning and programming that holds people back.

I feel that it won't require a terribly long time for this to happen. Once one person has done it, it sets off an avalanche of change, and so we are already in that process. As more of you get grounded and free, it can happen pretty fast. The whole earth is so close to this transformation that it is almost laughable that it hasn't done it yet.

In the new species, your field will be more intense, and that by itself will insulate you from many environmental influences. Of course, most environmental problems have been created by human conditioning.

Environmental problems are still a concern, but the importance of those will depend upon how fast humans change. If humans change fast enough, the environmental concerns will not matter, because the environment will change along with humans. If humans are too slow about changing, we may run out of clean water and breathable air. So in the meantime, it is better to err on the side of caution, and do everything we can to protect the environment, to elect government officials who care about the environment. But the earth is nearly past the critical balance where problems can be corrected; it is almost too late to do anything at this frequency; developments that cannot be stopped are already set into motion .

Transformation is really our only way out; that is why I am so adamant and dedicated to what I am doing: I know that the days of this earth are limited. There is scientific evidence to back that up. There are many aspects coming together very rapidly. Humans can become like the late great dinosaur, or they can become the new species. There is no other choice, and it is really up to humanity.
