Transitions

It takes a village to raise a child.  It takes visions and dreams to create heaven on earth.  It takes courage and strength to forge new structures which are working realities in this dimension.  As our old structures crumble and change, a vacuum exists in which to test out and try new structures.  I sincerely believe, based on my own visions and dreams, and the visions of others, that there is no apocalypse.  In the midst of sweeping changes to our economic systems, our helathcare systems, our educational establishments, our governments, and our earth, many new possibilities can be seeded.  Rather than be scared of how we will feed and shelter ourselves, create art and culture, govern ourselves, and provide basic services to the populations in the face of such changes, we can choose instead to remain positive and put that positivity into action.  

And I have faith, because so many people are doing just this.  Community is key, we are social creatures, and we have lived too long in isolated single family homes and little automobile worlds.  Eco communities based in permaculture and sustainability are popping up everywhere!  There are lots of examples, and one of my favorites is the Cal Earth project creating structures based on the writings of Mevlana Rumi.  http://calearth.org/  The homes are roomy, full of light, beautiful, and designed for communal lifestyles.  They are easy to build and hold real promise as a method for long term use.

just like the homes in my dreams :)

Waves of the time are catching fire at this moment, across the old boundaries of nation, race, and class, toward cooperation.  David Cameron, in response to the riots in London last week, stated "Moral decline is not limited to a few of the poorest parts of our society. In the banking crisis, with MP's expenses, in the phone hacking scandal, we have seen some of the worst cases of greed and irresponsibility and entitlement.  We are all in this together, and we will mend our broken society - together."  The ways and methods are not fully humanitarian just yet, there is some distance to traverse as a species, but we are walking it.  More and more open to the new each day, and as we stop trying to save what has come before, we allow space for creation. 

As we transition our emergent structures are equally transitional.  This is a good thing, it is a response that reflects the perfect holography of reciprocal relationship.  There is reason to keep hope, to move forward.  I have been dreaming these transitional centers since 1986, when as a small child I began to write out the types of healing courses and ceremonies which would be offered at the centers I am part of creating.  I observe my friends having visions and creating centers too.  These centers allow us space beyond and outside of the industrial age we have built up, space to focus on our inherent human drive toward wholeness, to connect and reconnect to spirit.  As we do so, the policies ethics and focal points of New Earth will find ground to grow roots.  It is written within us that twenty-fifty-one hundred years from now, we will be happily handing a better situation to our children and grandchildren.  We have done this before, we can, and are, doing it now.
