Yesterday, I wrote about how much of the pain that we are seeing in the world this year is the result of things dying, and how other pain we are experiencing is often the birthing pains of what’s coming.

One thing that is being born in this moment is a global movement of individuals and institutions becoming more conscious. Despite how broken the world seems to be, we are more capable than we can imagine to make things right. This global movement of consciousness is about learning how to set things right by setting yourself right.

But I’m only one person, how can I make a difference?

This summer we were practicing some extreme social distancing by going on a secluded river trip with a very small group down the down San Juan River in Southern Utah. As we floated downstream, “Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily, life is but a dream …,” beers nestled in hand, we spent long hours simply staring up at the breathtaking landscape of the canyon walls. I couldn’t take my eyes off the canyon walls, specifically the patterns of erosion: enormous, almost perfect squares the size of elephants, and rectangles the size of semi-truck trailers, all with very straight lines, that had sometime in the last several thousand years detached themselves from the canyon wall and were now being washed in the lazy current of the San Juan. It looked as if some giant was playing with the canyon walls, carving each perfect shape out, and plopped it into the river.

A couple on our trip were environmental scientists with a passion for geology and I asked them how these large rocks could be shaped so perfectly with what looked like chiseled corners and almost perfect lines. One of the scientists offered her best SWAG, (scientific-based wild-ass guess) and proffered that perhaps the microscopic, individual particles of the principal mineral in the rock were shaped in squares and rectangles so the larger stones merely reflected the composite of the smallest possible elements. Fascinating!

This SWAG resembles the old hermetic saying, “As above, so below,” and vice versa. In other words, the whole is represented in each of its parts. Since the world is the composite of individuals, the best and only way to change the world is from within. You must change yourself, and when you are whole the world becomes whole.

There’s a critical mass of those who are waking up to their highest beings. This critical mass, along with the winds of change, has eroded the old and weathered facade and those who are waking up are breaking from the old. We are rolling toward the living waters of a more just, prosperous, and sustainable existence.

We are the epitome of rock and roll.

Yes, there’s a movement that is underway and it’s begging you to join. It's calling to you to wake up from the illusion of being a limited, powerless being and wake up to the unimaginable power that is already inside of you, to fertilize the seed of your birthright and majesty, so you can be a crucial cell in this organism of consciousness that is changing the world.

We cannot wait for someone else to save us. Our purpose is to save ourselves.We must be the change of the world because the solutions to the world’s problems only lie within.

Like Alice Walker said, “We are the ones we’ve been waiting for.”

Tomorrow, I can’t wait to share with you a very powerful resource that I’ve created that will help you realize your innate wholeness and will help you to make the world whole.
