THE GLOBAL SPIRITUAL AWAKENING

Truth is eternal, yet unfolding. Unchanging, it assumes ten thousand guises. Its form varies in order to speak to a given age and its people. Indeed each one of us needs to find the truth that is ours, what works for us if we are to achieve the life we wish to have..

Every age creates the forms of truth by which those of us who create that age will live. The crucial variable is the extent to which awareness comes to recognize, experience, and live the truth that is most evolutionary on both individual and collective levels. The number and degree to which individuals are conscious of any portion of such truth, are able to align their truth with eternal truth, has varied enormously throughout history. When many individuals recognize the truth of their being and the nature of life itself, the world witnesses periods of incredible spiritual advance…a transformation, an awakening.

We live in such an age. Perhaps never before have so many people come to understand the truth of life to such an extent as is occurring at this very moment. We are living in the midst of what may be our histories grandest spiritual awakening, the beginning of an era of astonishing spiritual progress. We are, in fact, not only participating in, but creating this spiritual awakening from within ourselves. Such spiritual progress will, as it turns out, be the factor that solves the social, political, economic, environmental problems that vex humanity.

This global spiritual awakening, it can be argued, is an inevitable event in human history… an event whose time has simply come. A strong case can be made that this spiritual awakening is a logical outcome of the evolutionary process of life. The inference is that evolution is a process that works toward enhanced spirituality achieved by means of expanded consciousness on both the individual and collective levels. A central tenet of this spiritual awakening is the understanding that evolution takes the form of expanded consciousness, and through this expanded consciousness can be channeled to yet further expand consciousness. The result is greater love of our selves and our fellows coupled with the unselfish desire to be of service to others. In this way world peace and prosperity for all will be achieved.

In terms of consciousness, evolution is a cybernetic, creative, self-referent, self-interactive, self-organizing system that builds upon its own inner nature to move onward with constantly greater impact, more rapidly, more deeply, more persuasively, and more beneficially…unfolding, infolding, expanding, and all inclusive. As the individual rises to new heights of awareness and joins others in this enterprise, that awareness spreads beyond even those "consciously" participating to become part of the fabric of the consciousness of the whole.

The evolution of this awakening can be traced through the ages, through the evolution of our world from geosphere to biosphere to noosphere, in the advances of modern physics from Newton to Quantum Field Theory, in the evolving theories of complexity, in the growing convergence between religion and science, and between the philosophies of the East and the West

In our time, this global spiritual awakening, manifesting in ten thousand forms, has come full term. As a result we are discovering a new and deeper understanding of God, of ourselves, of the relationship between God and ourselves, of life, of death, of spirituality, and enlightenment. We are developing new values and models based upon those values for our social, political, economic, religious, and cultural institutions. We are reinventing ourselves and our world.

This global spiritual awakening is culminating now in a revolutionary experience of our selves, our collective consciousness, and our destiny. We are creating a true Age of Enlightenment. The advent of this Age of Enlightenment depends upon our collective choices. Let us choose together to bring this global spiritual awakening to fruition always remembering that we ever stand at the beginning. Our journey is an adventure without end leading to more and more happiness and fulfillment.
