Heal the world - or how to?

by Owen Waters

The Shift to the New Reality has been gaining speed for many years. We have now entered a phase of The Shift which is now bringing rapid transformation to our world.

Heart-centered consciousness is the gateway to spiritual consciousness. Spiritually-minded people today are transforming the world from material consciousness into heart and soul consciousness. This transformation is best realized by using intention to actively fill the world with love and light. This spiritually-conditioned energy powerfully transforms the lower energy of fear and hate within the global mind atmosphere.

The energy of transformation can be channeled into a spiritual focus, into emotional release or it can be allowed to manifest in the only remaining field of popular action, the physical world. There, it will erupt through emotion-driven, physical phenomena - volcanic eruption, earthquakes and violent storms, for example. All of these "natural" disasters are driven by the chaotic emotional energy of mankind. All of them can be healed and prevented when people channel enough spiritual energy to soothe the chaos.

Today, it is more important than ever to send healing energies into the world. If enough people enter their inner, spiritual space regularly, then the incoming energies of transformation can be expressed on a spiritual level.

You can make all the difference in the world today when you help balance the incoming energies of transformation by using the following technique.

The Infinite Being Heal the World Technique:

Reconnect with your spiritual source daily. Use the Infinite Being meditation, or your own meditation technique, the first thing every day. Make it a habit, a part of your morning routine.

End your meditation session by spending time in gratitude for life, nature and the Infinite Being from which you materialized. Let a sense of gratitude for everything in your life fill your heart.

Then, intend world peace and enlightenment. Send this intention out into the world as love energy through the heart chakra just in front of your breastbone.

This alone would be enough to make a big difference in the world today. However, by adding a third component to the technique, it becomes enormously powerful and effective.

Powerful acts of creation all have three essential components:

- intent, feeling and motion. Those are the only three tools which Infinite Being used to create the universe and everything within it. That's how powerful those three components are, when used together in equal balance.

So far you have set the first component,

(1) Your intention - world peace and enlightenment.

You have also set the second component,

(2) A love-inspired environment - gratitude for the universe and everything in your life.

Now, it's time for the third component,

(3) Action. It is time to move that energy, in large quantities, into the global mind atmosphere surrounding the Earth. This is how:

On every in-breath, imagine white light from the Cosmos entering your crown chakra, above the head, and traveling down your spine to the level of your heart, then traveling forward into your heart chakra, just in front of your breastbone.

At the same time, see white light from the Earth entering the base of your spine and traveling up the spine, then forward, to merge with the cosmic energy in the heart chakra.

The energies of the Cosmos and the Earth will fuse together and cause an energetic reaction at the frequency of the heart chakra. This fusion forms a ball of energetic white light in the heart chakra.

With every out-breath, send the power of this energetic reaction out to the world. Direct it as a beam of white light from your heart chakra, out into the world.

Continue this in-breath, out-breath cycle for at least five minutes each morning and you will not only help heal the world, you will change your entire day for the better.

The universe reflects who you are. When you practice healing the world, by automatic reflection, you heal who you are. Any and all issues which have been challenging for you will move closer towards resolution as you help the world in this way.

There's nothing like starting your day helping to heal the world in these critical days of transformation. It's one of those things that brightens your day, makes you feel good to be alive, and lets you know that you are taking the type of action that you came into this life to perform.

Serve from where you are ~ Uriel's Message

Many of you have questions about where you should do your work and how you can be of service to others. You are waiting for the right moment where you feel that you are in the right place and sometimes believe that it is anywhere but where you are at the present moment. Each step on your journey is divinely timed and perfectly planned. There is no right moment but the present one and each place where you find yourself is one where you can be of service to yourself and to others.

You carry your light with you wherever you go and each situation in which you find yourself is one that has purpose and meaning for you, as well as a lesson to teach you. The lesson may be as simple as finding ways to be of service in that situation, discovering ways to shine your light with purpose. Your faith in your role as a Lightworker and your trust in the divine perfection of all things will lead you to your purpose in where you are at each moment, even when it does not make sense to you.

The belief that spiritual work happens in spiritual contexts is an old one whose time has passed. Bringing light to the world is the purpose of the Shift and to do so you have to be in situations and environments where your light is needed and serve as a lesson in teaching and healing for you. Wondering whether you are in the wrong place and how you can possibly be of service there will only serve to increase your doubt and confusion. Instead, ask the Universe to show you how you can be of service, the divine purpose for your light in that place and you will find peace and completion.

Your period of service in any situation can be short or long, depending on what you have chosen. Remember that you are co-creators of your reality and that the Universe is helping you create what you need to be of service. There are no mistakes and no errors so each situation is a perfect opportunity to be of service, to learn, heal and grow and once that is completed you can move on to the next step. This week, if you are wondering why you are in a certain place, relationship or environment, ask how you can be of service there. Then listen for the answer that will enlighten you as to your purpose in that situation and you can move forward with confidence, knowing that you can serve from wherever you are.

"May has come barrelling in with churning waters and way too much busy-ness. I have felt overwhelmed and over-scheduled. A part of me longs for space and solitude and I feel, in some aspects of my life as if I’m running as fast as I can on a hamster wheel of obligations and responsibilities. This vibe report is coming out “late” because of this. There have been unforeseen changes in “plans” (God laughs when we make plans!) and re-routing. I find it so important to nurture myself and if I don’t take at least 5 or 10 minutes to go within and find stillness, I’m feeling ‘off’ for the rest of the day. Many people have been reporting feelings of depression and a dullness, which Many of One addresses in this report.

I recently watched the video Fierce Grace about Ram Dass and have been longing for something ever since – a deeper connection to Spirit. I find myself crying a lot, with a feeling of homesickness, and a feeling of emptying out. Often, when I think of Ram Dass I start to cry! And at times I have felt him hugging me. I know this unnameable something that I’m longing for is within me, I need look no further than the centre of being. The world seems so loud, so many obligations pulling at me, and I find it is essential to come into the now, over and over again. I have been caught in survival mode and I long for peace – and an extended visit to an ashram (something I’ve never done). I long to leave the worldly stuff behind and dwell within for a time. In these times, at best, I can find moments of peace to nurture my soul through meditation. It’s like creating an inner ashram or temple – a sacred space for me to find renewal.

It is with love that I share these stirrings of my soul.

And now, Many of One …"

Nancy Leilah Ward

Greetings dear ones!

We understand that many lightworkers who came here to this planet Earth to assist in this time of transition are feeling exhaustion, having bouts of depression and panic and are feeling “over it” in regards to the 3D experience.

As the vibration continues to rise, frequencies of transformation create shifts and changes making you feel disoriented and disconnected. At times you may feel as if you are being churned around by the breaking waves. Trust that aspects that need to be released are being loosened up in the churning waves.

At other times you may be feeling a lull. This is a time of absorption and integration of the new energies you have been downloading. You may be feeling coldness inside – this happens as you expand. Stay present and focus on your breath.

You are all so close, so close. We hope you will remember this when you feel your faith faltering. You are radiant beings. These times call for extra vigilance and conscious work of filling yourself with the spirit of love. Take the time to focus inward, into the quiet within – as many times during the day as you can. A brief 5 minutes in your busy day will nurture your spirit and ground you and give you a greater sense of well-being.

In this shift it is difficult to maintain the hold on what worked in the past as it slips through your fingers. Let it go. It may seem like there’s nothing to grab onto. The new will appear – listen to your heart.

Some are seeing the new around them and are beginning to move in the direction of the heart, realizing it has been there all along, calling to them.

Holding onto that which does not harmonize with your higher vibration is becoming unbearable. Perhaps projects that you’ve been developing for the past few years suddenly run aground, or lose the energetic connection they once had. It’s ok to move on. Once you find yourself out in the water pushing the boat instead of in the boat and rowing, it could mean that it’s time for you to create another boat.

Some are blessed with situations where their basic needs are being met, so they can explore their creative and spiritual abilities and they are able to glow and grow forward into their expression, their creative flow. For those who are flying in joyful pathways, remember to send the joy, freedom and softness to your brothers and sisters – send it outward – in a prayer that all may find their way, for you are all connected deeply and this will help you to know that you are not alone.

We also wish to acknowledge that, whether you realize it or not, all are feeling the waves of grief and loss with the exodus of many people who were killed in the cyclone in Myanmar. When events like this occur, when there is a great amount of souls transitioning from the physical plane, the energy is felt all around the world. You can no longer believe that you are all separate beings. You are receiving proof that all are connected.

So when you do your meditations and connect with those who are sending light to earth, it is very real – vision yourselves above the earth holding hands with other lightworkers and surrounding the earth with love and sending love to one another. This will help relieve the depression and help you feel less alone.

When we non-physical beings tune in to you, we feel the deep loneliness that rides along with the feelings of inertia and depression that so many of you are experiencing at this time.

You have worked hard for so long to live authentically and some feel like they are swimming upstream. This is exhausting and disheartening and sometimes leads to the manifestation of illness.

Breathe, ask your guides to assist you and be patient for the help to arrive. We feel the frustration as you read these words – you say you have been doing that, but nothing happens! We say you need to pay attention and take responsibility, because no one guide or person in your life can do your growing and releasing for you. Only you can take the reins and ride your horse of empowerment. You also need to allow time for your guides to respond to your prayer requests.

In the moments of depression, sadness and loneliness, find ways to nurture yourself. Be gentle, for the energies are rising and taking you up higher and that which has held you back is falling away, sometimes tugging at your energy bodies. That is what can cause fear and sadness – letting go of the old energies that are familiar but do not serve your highest good.

We say hang in there – stay the course – connect with your deeper being – your multidimensionality. You are almost there. But where is there? The centre of your self which transforms into the Oneness of all Being. Protect yourself energetically; know that you are on the track of your intention aligned with your heart. And if you doubt that, look into where the doubt is, are you feeding your soul? Are you listening to your heart? There is a message for you within the doubt.

When you open to understand that you are not from Earth - you are from a much broader spectrum of being – when you can connect with the bigger picture, you will feel some comfort and you will access the flow of joy and playfulness that is part of the energy of creation.

There is more, so much more and you will reap the beauty of the golden age that is arising. However you are still in the turmoil of the change - the chaotic churning of the waters as waves break upon the shore. Remember it is not always like this. And it will not always be like this.

So now, connect, once again, with your soul essence, that chord of feeling-energy that flows through the core of your being. Feel the connection that is made between earth and Spirit inside of you. Deeply ground into Earth and reach out into the Universe to draw Spirit into you – feel the creative spirit flowing all around and within. This is your birthright; this is part of who you are. Feel the energy expanding around you. Aaah, it is like coming back to yourself, is it not? Vision spheres of protection around your energy body and surround it with violet light and violet flames for transmutation of negative energy. When you walk within your bubble of protection, you will know that the sticky dark energies cannot permeate, you will feel the fierceness within you – the fierce connection you have to Love, Light and Truth. This will renew your strength in being here and it will renew your connection to the Oneness of being. You are not alone and you are deeply loved.

We send you love, we send you light sparkles to remind you of your true nature and the vastness of your soul.

Gently, softly, lovingly,

Nancy Leilah Ward

And

Many of One

Spiritual energy updates for May/June 2008

Greetings to each of you! The incoming energy waves have provided quite a ride for many of us. Following the Lynain Star Gate opening we are experiencing a whiplash effect. Many have reported a great sense of unsettledness, of feeling that things are happening too fast to comprehend and at the same time packing a wallop that essentially shuts them down for a day or two at a time. Others stand in puzzlement as those around them act bizarrely or do things out of the norm. Comprehension is at an all time low when it comes to interactions with others.

Communications have been worse than a full on Mercury retrograde. There have been many times the past few weeks that I have become quite frustrated as I have tried to converse with people during our move. At one point I even asked my husband if I was invisible because when I talked on the phone and even at times in person, people seemed to not have heard me at all, asking me questions as if I had not just stated it all only a moment before.

Energy waves have been coming in in a rhythmic pattern, much like sine waves. The energies arrive like tidal waves, momentarily unsettling all of creation that is in their wake. As this occurs, the waves act like portals, pulling back the curtains between worlds. There has been an inordinate amount of spirit activity lately as well. The veils have become even thinner than I described in my last transmission. As the waves move through us and around us we are momentarily shaken up. Our particulates rearrange as if there is pressure between them, smacking them upward. The particulates are the very particles from which we are created.

This has been constant for the past two and a half weeks or so. For those who are quite sensitive, even longer. The effect within our bodies and energy systems is like being stuck on a cosmic treadmill with no off switch. We become unsettled, fatigued, don’t sleep well if at all, and generally feel as if we are on a marathon with no end.

This process will occur for about another month. It will escalate several more times between now and then. At the time that this current shift begin to settle, there will be an astronomical series of alignments around June 6th that is going to stir things up even more. The alignment which will occur is going to bring a triangulation onto our reality which again acts as a vacuum effect. As the triangulation begins to align, there will be a rising effect of consciousness. It will feel conflictual at first, causing great emotionality and a lot of “can’t help it” feelings.

This triangulation is the first of seven which will occur over the next eighteen months. Each triangulation will rotate with angulations which are divisible by fifteen degrees from the last. What I mean by this is that each will turn 15, 30, 45, 90 or even 180 degrees from the last. There is no sensible pattern to the rotations of the triangulations. Because of this, it will be difficult to adjust to these energies.

What I would say to each of you is to. Remember that being part of the flow, allowing yourselves to be carried by the changes rather than resisting them will bring you more peace, more comfort, than if you are resistant to them.

Many of you would ask how you will know that it is the energy changes that are taking effect or of you are simply out of balance on a more personal level. The truth is that we are that and it is us. Our idea of being separate from the universal processes is part of the illusion we have created. It is the illusion that maintains our sense of control, but that is not truth, only perception. It is easy to become victims of our experiences if we are not paying attention, becoming of the perception of powerlessness.

The truth is that if we take the position that we are the flow and that the flow is life, that we are the rhythm and the rhythm is us, that true power is gentle power, the statement of the living One as expressed in our being, we will find that despite outer stimuli we are at peace within ourselves.

We can no longer be the needy child, or beings of false power. We must rise to the call of the light and be exactly what we intend. When we live our truth the truth lives us – and it is perfection.

Spiritual Energy Generation

The Principle of Spiritual Energy Generation by Owen Waters

As people become more interested in spirituality and how it can change the world and improve their lives, the understanding of spiritual energy becomes a key factor in their growth and development. This article explains the nature of spiritual energy and how it can be used in, for example, distance healing, world healing, or simply for enhancing meditation.

Like the principle of electrical generation, the principle of spiritual energy generation shows how a specific type of energy flow may be generated. In the case of electrical generation, a flow of electricity is created in a certain direction. In the case of spiritual energy generation, a flow of spiritual energy is created in a certain direction.

Spiritual energy is etheric energy conditioned by spiritual intent.

Etheric energy is a primary energy of the universe, while electric energy is a secondary, more dense form of energy.

Etheric energy is also known by many other names around the world, including life energy, vital energy, prana, bioenergy, orgone, ki, chi or qi.

For the last 5,000 years in traditional Chinese medicine, the vital pathways of etheric energy in the human body have been balanced using the healing modality of acupuncture. More recently, the electrical genius Nikola Tesla produced vast quantities of etheric energy using, apparently, very high frequency electricity as a method of attracting etheric energy out of the atmosphere. Because its behavior is very different from regular electricity, he referred to it as 'cold electricity.'

Just as the atmosphere is filled with electrons, ready to be channeled through an electric generator, so is it also filled with etheric energy. All energies are supplied and replenished by the Sun, including the mental energy that forms the global mind atmosphere or mind belt around the Earth.

The mind belt is conditioned by the thoughts and emotions of mankind. Each person constantly attracts mental energy, conditions it by their thoughts and actions, and passes it back into the mind belt. Every one of us affects everyone else. A spiritual act - one which expresses unconditional love - by anyone anywhere upon the planet improves the mind belt of the whole planet. A destructive act by anyone anywhere upon the planet degrades the mind belt of the whole planet.

Etheric energy is a more subtle energy than electricity, and a more dense energy than mental energy. However, because of its vibrational proximity to mental energy, it responds readily to applied mental pressure.

The human mind can, through visualization and intent, attract etheric energy, condition it in any way desired, and then direct it towards any desired objective.

In 1831, at the dawn of the electrical era, visionary scientist Michael Faraday published his discovery of the law of electromagnetic induction. This law, or principle, states that an electric current will be induced in a conductor when it is moved across a magnetic field.

At the time, it seemed like the strangest thing in the world.

Moving a conductor forward across a magnetic field would invoke an electrical current sideways in the conductor. This discovery showed that, with electrical generation, nothing happened in the same direction as anything else. All three directions in space were involved - a metal conductor that ran forward through a magnetic field that ran vertically, producing an electric current that ran sideways. It was truly awe-inspiring to those who saw this phenomenon clearly demonstrated for the first time. This discovery then opened the door to the generation of electricity in large quantities. As the idea was developed, electricity went on to replace steam as the working medium of the Industrial Revolution, and later gave birth to the field of electronics.

Today, the new frontier of discovery is in spiritual energy.

Realizing that spiritual energy exists, and understanding how it can be attracted, conditioned and transferred, opens up a whole new realm of possibilities in mankind's use of all types of God-given energies.

Both electric energy and etheric energy respond to pressure.

In the case of electrical energy, voltage is the measure of electrical pressure. The more voltage you have available, the more electrical energy you can move through a circuit. In the case of etheric energy, the application of pressure via mental intent is similar to the principle of voltage. The more intense your intent, the more etheric energy you will move toward your intended objective. For example, if you are sending distance healing energy to a friend at another location, the stronger the pressure of your applied intent, the more healing energy you can generate and transfer to them.

There is a key difference between plain, unconditioned, etheric energy and spiritual energy. Spiritual energy is etheric energy conditioned by spiritual intent. In order to achieve the spiritual conditioning of etheric energy and transform it into spiritual energy, the individual's consciousness has to first rise into the frequency range of spiritual consciousness.

In the human heart lies the doorway from material consciousness to spiritual consciousness. As explained in my book, "The Shift: The Revolution in Human Consciousness," there are two levels of heart-centered consciousness, and they resonate at different frequencies. It's a yin and yang situation. The lower, passive level is heartfelt consciousness, where the person adjusts to the experience of unconditional love. The higher, active level is heart-powered consciousness, where the person puts that heart-centered awareness into action.

The doorway to spiritual consciousness is between those two levels of heart-centered awareness. There are two major tiers of human consciousness, each tier containing six stages. The basic tier has a materialistic focus and ranges from the earliest historical expression of human consciousness, all the way through the evolution of empowered action and achievement, and into heartfelt awareness. In this heartfelt state of consciousness, humans shift from supporting, for example, mindless commercial expansion into an awareness where the environment becomes an important issue.

Humans then progress into the second tier of six stages of human evolution. This is the spiritual tier and, by stepping into it, mankind today is making a quantum leap in awareness.

This is the essential nature of The Shift that is transforming today's society. As each human spends more and more time in the spiritual tier, they engage in more and more heart-powered action, changing the world through applied unconditional love.

The average person in Western society today is still in the commercial expansion stage of consciousness, and yet with one foot very much planted in the heartfelt consciousness of ecology issues. Meanwhile, today's pioneers of The Shift are spending more and more time venturing into the spiritual tier of consciousness and, as a result, expanding the awareness of all of humanity.

In conclusion:

The generation of spiritual energy is carried out through spiritual intent applied to the universal supply of etheric energy. The spiritual tier of consciousness begins with heart-powered consciousness and is entered through the doorway of the heart. The degree of intent determines the amount of etheric energy that will be conditioned into spiritual energy.

Intent is also used to direct the spiritual energy towards the desired objective, such as distance healing, world healing, or simply for enhancing meditation.

In summary:

The Principle of Spiritual Energy Generation states that spiritual energy is generated by the mental direction of etheric energy, conditioned by spiritual intent.

The Hundredth Monkey Effect

by Owen Walters

The Shift is the awakening of humanity’s heart. This transformation of consciousness, the greatest one ever recorded, first became apparent in the mid-1960s and has been building momentum ever since.

The Shift is a collective transformation consisting of the sum of each individual’s step into the New Reality. Each person, in their own time, is moving forward into a stage of consciousness which brings a wider vista and an awareness which springs from the heart. When enough people’s primary attention becomes focused through their heart chakras, then the ‘hundredth monkey effect’ will occur.

The Hundredth Monkey Effect was first introduced by biologist Lyall Watson in his 1980 book, ‘Lifetide.’ He reported that Japanese primatologists, who were studying Macaques monkeys in the wild in the 1950s, had stumbled upon a surprising phenomenon.

His book was soon followed up with a deeply inspired work by Ken Keyes in 1981, called “The Hundredth Monkey Effect.” In this, Ken Keyes made an impassioned appeal for an end to the Cold War and its policy of mutually assured destruction. Here, in the words of Ken Keyes, is a description of the key elements of the Hundredth Monkey Effect:

“The Japanese monkey, Macaca fuscata, had been observed in the wild for a period of over 30 years.

“In 1952, on the island of Koshima, scientists were providing monkeys with sweet potatoes dropped in the sand. The monkeys liked the taste of the raw sweet potatoes, but they found the dirt unpleasant.

“An 18-month-old female named Imo found she could solve the problem by washing the potatoes in a nearby stream. She taught this trick to her mother. Her playmates also learned this new way and they taught their mothers too.

“This cultural innovation was gradually picked up by various monkeys before the eyes of the scientists.

“Between 1952 and 1958 all the young monkeys learned to wash the sandy sweet potatoes to make them more palatable.

“Only the adults who imitated their children learned this social improvement. Other adults kept eating the dirty sweet potatoes.

“Then something startling took place. In the autumn of 1958, a certain number of Koshima monkeys were washing sweet potatoes -- the exact number is not known.

“Let us suppose that when the sun rose one morning there were 99 monkeys on Koshima Island who had learned to wash their sweet potatoes.

“Let's further suppose that later that morning, the hundredth monkey learned to wash potatoes.

“Then it happened!

“By that evening almost everyone in the tribe was washing sweet potatoes before eating them.

“The added energy of this hundredth monkey somehow created an ideological breakthrough!

“But notice.

“A most surprising thing observed by these scientists was that the habit of washing sweet potatoes then jumped over the sea –

“Colonies of monkeys on other islands and the mainland troop of monkeys at Takasakiyama began washing their sweet potatoes.

“Thus, when a certain critical number achieves an awareness, this new awareness may be communicated from mind to mind.

“Although the exact number may vary, this Hundredth Monkey Phenomenon means that when only a limited number of people know of a new way, it may remain the conscious property of these people.

“But there is a point at which if only one more person tunes-in to a new awareness, a field is strengthened so that this awareness is picked up by almost everyone!”

Lyall Watson had originally researched and assembled the story from the available testimonies of the primate researchers. Because the phenomenon took the researchers so much by surprise, they had not counted how many monkeys it took to trigger this effect. So, Watson proposed an arbitrary figure of ninety-nine monkeys, and said that one more, the so-called one-hundredth monkey, would then provide the critical mass of consciousness necessary to trigger the effect.

The new behavior pattern spread to most, but not all, of the monkeys. Older monkeys, in particular, remained steadfast in their established behavior patterns and resisted change. When the new behavior pattern suddenly appeared among monkey troupes on other islands, only a few monkeys on those islands picked up on the new idea. The ones most receptive to new ideas started imitating the new behavior and demonstrating it to the impressionable younger ones. Thus, they too began their own path towards their eventual hundredth monkey effect.

How the Hundredth Monkey Effect Works

The mechanism for this transference of ideas works the same way for monkeys as it does for all sentient beings. We exist within an atmosphere of global mind. The human brain is constantly receiving and transmitting mental pictures and information to and from that mental atmosphere in which we are immersed.

The global mind, otherwise known as Jung’s collective unconscious, does not cease to function because a few skeptics don’t like its effects. It functions just like it always has, passing information from one individual to another based upon their common frequency of consciousness. If progressive monkeys had a new idea, then so did other progressive monkeys on other islands. They resonated at the same frequency of consciousness.

Inventions often occur at the same time by inventors who are not in physical contact with each other. For example, in 1941, Les Paul designed and built the first solid-body electric guitar just when Leo Fender of Fender Musical Instruments was doing exactly the same thing.

Have you ever had an idea, then seen other people express or use that idea. You probably said, “Hey! I thought of that first!” Well, that’s the way the global mind works. It’s an atmosphere that you share with all other sentient beings, but you tune in especially to the particular topics and frequencies of mind that interest you the most.

What This means to The Shift

When enough people have gone through their personal version of The Shift to the new consciousness, then a critical mass will form and suddenly everyone will become aware of the New Reality and its heart-centered values.

That is the day when heart-centered values will become the focus of everyday thinking for the vast majority of people. That is the day when humanity will begin to look back on what has changed and realize that a massive shift has occured.

Maslow Predicted The Shift - by Owen Waters

Abraham Maslow (1908-70) was a psychologist who became famous for his hierarchy of human needs. When he developed his theory in the 1950s, he predicted the transformation of humanity into a realm of spiritual transcendence, but he had no idea just how soon this would develop into a major movement.

Maslow's hierarchy of human needs shows that basic human needs have to be fulfilled before people can attend to higher needs and values.

First, the basic physiological needs of food and shelter must be catered for in order to ensure survival.

Second, once food and shelter are obtained, safety and security must be achieved.

Third, acceptance by others is sought, in both the social and romantic senses. To fulfill this 'belonging' need, people become part of a group, a tribe, an extended family or a community.

When these deficiency, or outer-directed, needs are satisfied, then the individual works to acquire self-respect.

Recognition by others produces self-esteem.

Once the outer needs are fulfilled, the inner-directed need for self-actualization comes into play. To self-actualize means to become the best you personally can be.

Self-actualized people include those who have achieved material abundance, and also those who, as a decision of personal power, have chosen simplicity over the pursuit of further abundance. At some point, when a person says "That's enough" to the endless pursuit of additional financial security, then they become free to accomplish anything that inspires their inner joy the most.

Self-actualization is achieved after the individual ceases to have deference to hierarchical authority, and instead matures into the ability to make their own rules of personal responsibility. Personal responsibility is always more powerful and effective than any system of imposed rules.

For example, you can threaten to punish someone if they steal and hope that the threat works. But, a self-responsible person simply wouldn't steal because they would feel empathy for the loss that a would-be victim would feel. They simply wouldn't have the heart to do such a thing to another person.

It's a matter of increased maturity. When a person abandons the impositions of external authority and becomes their own, self-directed authority, then they become far more functional in the world. This is, in fact, a higher state of consciousness, one which provides a higher vista of awareness. From this expanded vista, they see clearly how they as an individual can best serve humanity.

In this state of awareness, the person acquires the ability to think and analyze situations independently. As a result, new and creative solutions spring to mind. They have enough self-esteem to be able to clearly see their own needs, skills, strengths and weaknesses, and from that they see where they can best be of service to humanity.

Once basic needs are fulfilled, the next values to require attention relate to being. The first of these being-values is self-actualization, which is the instinctual need of a human to make the most of their unique abilities.

Above that, Maslow placed transcendence, which he considered a spiritual value. Traditional universities typically presume that spiritual matters are beyond the understanding of their students, so they present the Maslow hierarchy of human needs differently. They present it with self-actualization as the ultimate human goal, and omit the transcendence stage beyond that.

The being-values of self-actualization and transcendence are the higher, more beautiful aspects of human consciousness.

They include unconditional love, altruism, inner joy, a love of nature, the development of intuition (in males as well as females), idealism, and a sense of wisdom which springs from within. These skills develop the right-brain functions of creativity and intuition.

In the 1950s, Maslow believed that only 2% of the population had achieved self-actualization. The mid-1960s changed all that when masses of people began the search for the higher values, such as unconditional love and spiritual wisdom.

Today, that core group of progressive society has blossomed from 2% to over 20%, and is climbing every year.

The Shift is not a temporary by-product of the baby boom generation, or any other generation of modern society.

It is not a passing fad. It is not going away. It is a cosmic pressure that is unfolding and relentlessly increasing the frequency of all consciousness upon the planet.

It is a part of the plan of Infinite Being that we progress to the next stage of conscious human achievement. The Shift is, to put it simply, the most wonderful transformation in recorded history. This is where humanity gets to build, literally, Heaven on Earth.
