y2k again?

I believe that the author of this post and the referral will not bother about taking my freedom to post this message here:

My dear friends...

A Miracle is occurring on the earth right now, and it looks like a continuous calamity.

A Miracle is occurring right in front of our faces, and it looks like something is going on behind our backs and catching us off guard.

What is occurring is the transformation of our civilization. We are, at last, to become civilized.

Civilizations become civilized when it becomes apparent that being uncivilized is simply no longer acceptable, desirable, or sustainable. Civilized behavior emerges spontaneously and civilized characteristics reveal themselves miraculously at times of cataclysm. Disaster calls forth the worst of us and the best of us—and, seeing both in full view, we turn in revulsion from the cruelty of our old Small Selves and move into the full flowering of our better nature and the manifestation of our new Big Selves. Where once we could but crawl, now we are ready to fly.

This is the moment of metamorphosis, the end of the caterpillar, the emerging of the butterfly. What seems a disaster to the former reveals itself as a miracle to the latter.

What is occurring on the earth right now is the emerging of a new way to experience life. In a sense, a new life form itself. This miracle of metamorphosis is taking place over many months spanning several years—a period of time which is, in geophysical terms, a single elongated moment. From the perspective of the Universe it is the blink of an eye.

The moment began in December, 2004 with the tsunami on the Asian rim. It continued in 2005 with hurricanes Katrina and Rita in the United States and Stan in Southern Mexico and Central America. (The incredible 2005 Atlantic hurricane season continues at this writing. With more than a month still left to go in the official 2005 hurricane season, along comes Vince, the 20th named storm of the season and the first tropical cyclone in history to make landfall in Spain.) The moment has made itself manifest again with the earthquake in the Himalayan region of Kashmir, and it appears to be preparing to transcend individual locations and ignore all borders, presenting itself as the clear possibility of a worldwide bird flu pandemic that, if it jumps to humans, could be deadly to millions.

In many ways it looks as if our earth is falling apart. There are those who say that these events are evidence of the End Times—that God is wrecking vengeance on the humanity at last for its wickedness. Yet this is not God’s vengeance, but God’s blessing. This is not the Tribulation, but the Transformation. Our earth is not falling apart, but falling together for the first time.

Have you noticed? These calamities have brought the world together. America sent its condolences and offered its help when the tsunami devastated Indonesia—a largely Muslim region. Iran sent its condolences and offered its help when Katrina devastated America—a largely Judeo-Christian nation.

Many people are dying as this miracle is occurring. No one is dying in vain, and no one is leaving their physical life against their will. All have chosen at a superconscious level to use their lives to allow this miracle to unfold.

All death fuels a miracle. That miracle is called life. Death births life, and makes it possible. All death is, in this way, a gift. Without death, life cannot go on. This is true universally. It is true of a dying star in the heavens, and of a dying plant, animal, or person on the earth.

All life forms die to form new life. There is no other reason to die, and no one and nothing dies for any reason other than this. Death is therefore not the end of life, but the beginning. No one and nothing that dies fails to continue living, but merely does so in another way.

Everyone is a butterfly.

Those who go on living in another way, in the spiritual realm, experience the bliss of reunion with God—the Pure Essence of Life, the All In All that is Everything There Is. They then move forward in glory on their evolutionary journey, encountering the wondrous joys that all of us have imagined as heaven.

In every sense, the deaths surrounding these disasters now visiting our planet are a blessing, both to those who have left the earth and to those who remain.

This sounds like blasphemy—yet all great truth begins as blasphemy, and every great miracle begins as disaster. It must, for without a disaster, a miracle would not be necessary. (Nor would it even be possible.)

Disasters set the stage for miracles, and are part of them.

See these days on our earth, therefore, not as Days of Disaster, but as Days of the Divine, expressed. For life informs life about life through the process of life itself, and we are informing ourselves about ourselves, that we might know ourselves as who we really are.

This is not a time to lose faith, but a time to find it, not a time to hope for a miracle, but a time to perform one.

And what miracle, exactly, may we perform?

The miracle of love, brought into physicality through acts of heartfelt giving, through moments of pure service, through times of fervent prayer. This is what we have to offer each other during these world-shaking catastrophes that kill thousands and displace hundreds of thousands and impact millions.

Many human beings are already performing these miracles every day. We send our highest thoughts to those in turmoil. We send our gifts to those in need. We meditate and we pray and we hold the world in light. We are seeing ourselves as one family. We experience that we are truly All One.

Humanity is in the process of recreating itself anew, in the next grandest version of the greatest vision ever it had about itself. Upheaval precedes such massive re-creation. As noted, some people will give their present physical lives that humanity as a whole may continue to evolve. We hold in the highest place in the depth of our being those who have done so. We see their higher purpose, and we pledge to honor their gift with a gift of our own: the building of a newer world.

We will do this by using our present disasters as deliverances—delivering us from our own ideas of evil, for ours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever, if we will but create it and use it and bestow it upon each other, thus to truly Know God in us, as us, and through us, now and always, and all ways. The world needs you now.

The world needs you if you see what is happening in our world in this way. It is time for you to move into Messengership. For not everyone will understand what is occurring and will occur. Not every caterpillar will understand the miracle before emerging from its cocoon.

You do, now. Therefore bring comfort to the bereaved, help to the afflicted, clarity to the confused, and support to those who would bring understanding to others. Find each other and support each other and join with each other in a global movement to explain the miracle—and to live it.


Blesséd be, and journey well.
