Global Vision

We are living in a remarkable time, when the acceleration of the evolution of consciousness on the planet is reaching a pinnacle.  What will come in form of the "shift" or transformation foretold by many prophecies is not ours to know.  But what is our birthright, or spiritual inheritance, is clearly delineated.  It is that time now to claim this inheritance and move fully into our roles in what is commonly called "a new earth."

In its essence this "new earth" is an awakened consciousness and the manifestation of this consciousness in the world.  The way this awakened state is described varies dependent on the teacher or tradition describing it.  In Christian terms, for example, this awakened state is called the Christ Consciousness.  Carolyn Myss, in her teaching named "Three Levels of Power and How to use Them" calls this new consciousness the "spiritual mind."  Eckhart Tolle describes this "new earth" as the world founded on a "new heaven" or an inner awareness of one's "divine radiance."

The words are only pointers, and should not become a hindrance to the individual's awakening, not any form of dogma or doctrine interfering with the global shift toward unity or Oneness.  This is why the call to awaken is a call to shift the locus of attention away from the concepts and conditioning of the rational mind.  The new locus of power in a new earth is the energy body, also called the light body, or the spiritual mind.

The global vision of the OASIS Experience is that when a critical mass of individuals embrace the "new earth" principles and awaken to their function a "tipping point" is reached.  In alignment with earth changes and the acceleration principle as described by Terrence McKenna and the Mayan Calendar, the call for this tipping point is near the end of 2012.

Community Vision

The call at the community level, wherever on the planet you find yourself, is to come together with other likeminded people with a simple, singular focus.  The global shift into Oneness or this "new earth" consciousness is the simple, singular focus.  Individual agendas must be dropped, personal karmic baggage let go, in order that we come together in support of the emerging consciousness.  Offering each other guidance and support is essential as each individual does the often challenging work of dropping old forms.

There are many community-based organizations around the world who share this common intention.  One that I helped found in Minnesota, USA is The OASIS Center for Conscious Living.  This group can be reached via the website: www.oasisexperience.org

Personal Responsibility

Each of us carries within a call to awaken.  Some may have imagined a "voice" or some angelic presence or extant spiritual guidance that inspired them orginally.  Wahtever the perceived "source" of this call to awaken, the call is simple and clear.  In order to move energetically with the collective awakening, each individual is called to let go attachments to and identifications with the old forms.

What are these old forms?  To use Carolyn Myss's language, these old forms are the "tribal mind" and the "egoic or personal mind."

The tribal mind refers to levels of consciousness where the locus of power in your life is seen as being held by some tribe, clan, group, organization, etc.  The most common tribal mind form most know is that of the family.  To one degree or another, your sense of identification comes from your biological clan.  Other forms of this tribal mind might be a sense of loyalty to church, community, state, or nation.  Most all warfare and human suffering has resulted from one form of this tribal mind or another.  This mindset is essential a "we vs them" way of seeing the world, a mindset that obviously blocks entry into a "new earth" sense of global Oneness.

The "egoic mind" is a much newer developmental stage in our collective evolution of consciousness.  Whereas the tribal mind dominated of human history for many thousands of years, the egoic mind has perhaps dominated for a few hundred years, with the peak coming in the latter half of the 20th century.  This newer form, still quite dominant in the world, is a mindset that says essentially "what's in this for me?"

Each individual developmental path moves from the conventions and conditioning of the tribal mind into a deeper investment in personal truth and personal power.  Some reach lofty heights in this pursuit of personal worldly power.  Others appear to "fail" in this quest for personal glory.  But each "ego" has a simple goal, to stand apart, to be noticed, appreciated, and perhaps even loved.  Like the tribal mind before it, the egoic mind still sees the locus of this power as being somewhere "in the world."

Because of this necessary evolution of consciousness what the world is witnessing today is a significant level of chaos and conflict brought forward by the "sins" of our egoic mind, chiefly pride and greed.  Materialism, developed by the tribal mind conditioning, aided by a burgeoning media, and intensified by the egoic mind obsession with status and wealth, has brought the world to its collective knees.

As is true in any transformation, involving a process sometimes named the "dark night of the soul," it appears the darkest just before the dawn.  So it makes perfect sense that in the days leading up to the collective birthing of this "new earth" consciousness, the collapsing old forms will appear very dark indeed.

The new consciousness, or spiritual mind, calls for a letting go, or forgiveness, of these old forms.  This forgiveness includes a blessing, for only by blessing our past can we truly let it go and move into new ways of thinking and living.

So what is this new consciousness?  The awakening which opens one to this "new heaven," upon which the "new earth" is founded, is the realization that the locus of power that once appeared to be in the clan, or in the self and its relationship with the world, is now felt in the core of one's spiritual relationship with the universe.

This "spiritual mind" knows experientially how it feels to be connected, not by belonging to some clan or country club, but simply as a result of awakening to the energetic reality of the universe.  Awakening from the dream of isolation or separation, one comes to know, essentially, that his or her reason for living rests in this spiritual connection.

The way I like to describe this relationship with what we commonly call "the divine" is using an "energy language."  If we can accept, beyond name or form, that the energetic source of the universe (Eckhart Tolle describes "god" as the un-manifested) is seeking a portal of creative expression or expansion, the whole picture becomes clear.  I am that portal, in the world I am co-creating with this source, just as you are that portal in the co-creation of this same world.  It is One World, with One Source, and many portals sharing One Function.  Here is the essence of Oneness.

The shift is from the still egoic "I'm human having a spiritual experience" to the more accurate "I am the portal, conduit, bridge, channel through which the energetic principle of the universe extends itself into the world."  Or this could be translated into "I am Spirit having a human experience."  This is a simple, but profound, shift.

The Portal

Just as your function is the be the portal for Spirit/God/the un-manifested, we create portals in the space-time continuum.   In energy language the portal is a key, as energy is always seeking to move, and in the world of form, or space-time, portals are marked by time and space.  We have long thought of space portals, for example, as sacred sites like Macchu-Picchu, Sedona, Arizona, etc.  Similarly, we have marked portals in time, celebrating some better than others such as birth, graduation, marriage, death, etc.

So collectively a portal is being named.  This might seem arbitrary, but then so is every portal we create.  There is power in magic, even if we know a higher truth.  The global portal for this shift into "new earth" consciousness is in December 2012.  Whether one "expert" names this exactly as Dec 21, another 12/12/12, etc. is not significant.  What has the power is the collective intention to awaken and to allow this new birth.

How do we align ourselves with this portal?  How do we prepare ourselves, that we might be fully "conscious" or present?  Eckhart Tolle described the "new earth" consciousness as three levels: acceptance, appreciation, and enthusiasm.

Can we face the earth changes, whatever they may be, with at least acceptance, if not gratitude or appreciation, and possibly even enthusiasm and celebration?  Can you face in your life the "conscious dying" to old forms with this same positive, welcoming, celebratory energy?

In this energy language, what we want to vision is movement, dance, celebration, YES!

Are you ready to drop the conditioning of your tribal mind?  The conditions of your ego?

Can we approach the rapidly accelerating process ahead with enthusiasm, even if we have no real clue as to what the world might look like in five or ten years?

I use the term BIG LOVE to describe this enthusiasm.  I can imagine that each of us, in our own way, will open to receive and extend this BIG LOVE embrace.

I know that I was born for this, and I hope you feel that as well!!
