This is the final mailing promised in my last Blog. 

 

Concluding Personal Reflections 

 

Those of you who received my concluding reflections on laying down my Earth Energy Healing website and Newsletter know that I did so with satisfaction and much gratitude for those who joined me on the journey. I also feel deep gratitude for those who have also joined me on this facet of my spiritual journey, yet my other feelings on laying down my Great Shift website and this blog are mixed. For several years I've had a growing feeling that much, certainly not all, of what I've written over the past eighteen years about the Great Shift has limited relevance today. I trust that whatever I wrote was relevant at the time and served a positive purpose. I would say I feel more a sense of relief in laying down this work than a sense of satisfaction.

 

By the metrics I've developed to monitor the public reach of Facebook pages focused on positive social and environmental change and conscious evolution, my Great Shift FB page is at the low end (204 followers) of the very-low public profile category (<1.000 followers). It's actually suited me just fine to have maintained a low public profile all these years, and my sense is that from Spirit's perspective it created more flexibility in allowing me to be of service in other ways. In July 2007 there were 66 subscribers to what was then called the Great Shift and Earth Changes Update Newsletter, and eighteen of you are still with me. Bless you all for staying with me this long! The number of subscribers peaked at 1300 in early December 2012 and since then has declined to around 330. I would have sent out newsletters/blogs during this time period no matter how many they went to, yet the trend is consistent with other metrics I follow as indicators whether an acceleration of collective human awakening is taking place.

 

Concluding General Reflections 

 

Four years ago I developed various physical-plane metrics for detecting an acceleration toward a positive shift in human collective consciousness. As I write I don't see much evidence of a shift happening without a quantum leap in human consciousness. I hold this possibility in my heart as I observe the unraveling of social, economic and political systems globally. I continue to follow a few multidimensional sources that suggest the possibility of a dramatic positive shift in the 2029 to 2030 time frame. 

 

I take some comfort in Ilya Prigogine's words quoted earlier: Small islands of coherence in a sea of chaos have the capacity to lift the entire system to a higher order. I am fortunate to be part of several islands of coherence: a four-generation family in Bloomington, IN, with three generations living on Windgather Glade, our little piece of paradise; the Unitarian-Universalist Church of Bloomington with hundreds of beautiful souls committed to seeking the spirit, building community, and changing the world, and a smaller, online community of diverse shining souls in locations around the planet who gather once a week in open-ended dialog.

 

Almost ten years ago I wrote On Coexisting and Overlapping Consensual Realities, When I consider where I see the greatest potential for creating islands of coherence today, I realize that I completely missed the consensual reality focused on Conscious Evolution in the list of consensual realities in the earlier blog. This consensual reality integrates mainstream science and spirituality, recognizes the importance of personal and collective transformation as aspects of the unity of all things, and the importance of engaging in positive social, economic and political change. ONE World online community, is a place where folks creating islands of coherence can connect and collaborate. As an anchoring lightworker now I am not as engaged with this community as in the past, but I continue as a member. Elsewhere, I have identified over seventy websites for organizations and initiatives focused on conscious evolution and activism for creating a positive future. 

 

I see two other movements within, but currently at the margins of, mainstream society that also have a high potential for creating islands of energetic coherence, the bioregional  and international making cities livable movements. 

 

My sense is that if islands of coherence don't lift humanity collectively to a "higher order" in the next 5 years or so, the Earth experiment that gave human's free will, in the way described in my Great Shift book, will have "failed." The harm we will have done to Mother Earth and ourselves collectively will exceed our ability to heal. I put "failed" in quotation marks because when framed in terms of divine dichotomies, all is in Divine order whatever happens. Within the 7-density model of multidimensional reality that I find useful, rather than a collective shift to fourth density, the current trajectory I see if that those positively-polarized souls who are ready to make the shift will at some point find themselves on a fourth-density New Earth, and those who aren't ready will reincarnate on another third-density planet. Given that Earth is a mixed-polarity planet and there are no mixed polarity fourth density planets I suppose that negatively-polarized souls will reincarnate on third-density negatively-polarized planets or fourth-density planets if they have reduced their light quotient sufficiently. That, too, would be in Divine order. I will be delighted if five years from now, or sooner, I end up eating humble pie.

 

 

 

 

The domain name for my Great Shift website expired yesterday, but the website can be accessed on the Wayback Machine internet archive, as well as links to download available chapters of the Great Shift book. I have also created a list of links to all the Great Shift/Shift Blogs, as well as links to blogs that were posted on my Great Shift Facebook page that received more than a few comments and responses I made.  In the course of creating the list of links I revisited feedback and interchanges I had with folks who commented on the blogs and I now lay down my great shift work with a certain sense of satisfaction for its relevance during the time period I was actively engaged in the work. I also feel it was worth the effort to create an archive of the work for its possible historical interest, and a repository of information that some other fellow travelers might find of interest in their journeys of awakening. I continue to write occasionally from a multi-dimensional perspective on my Miscellaneous Meanderings and Spiritual Practices for a World Falling Apart on the Medium platform.
 

And as a final note, to mix metaphors, I am laying down my great shift work, but not locking the door. In order to keep the blog archive available, I am shifting the account for the service I used for mailings to an inactive status. I will have the option of returning to an active status and sending our more mailings in the event I receive a strong nudge from Spirit to do so. The list of active subscribers will remain, so you don't have to do anything unless you would rather not hear from me again. 

 

Love to all,
