Default This is the dawning of.....

Have you noticed how many massive shifts in perspective there have been around here in the past couple of weeks? And people getting ready to leap into a new perspective, too?

Even the meltdowns seem to be happening with suddenly increased velocity.

Are we entering an age of awareness acceleration? Or am I just noticing it because of my own shift?

Whatever it is, it feels good. Steve and Erin, thanks for providing a space of freedom and love where such fun things can flourish.

lots of love

I have been noticing for a couple years. Definitely accelerating lately.

But in the last week, the fear mongerers have been out en masse too.

Economy. Gas prices. War. Famine. Terror. Torture. Housing crisis. People are having a burst of fear lately.

I think of it, as it relates to me, as a small test or reminder to be mindful of my thoughts and moods and where they are dwelling. Cutting out the media crap/news crap that has been stealthily sneaking back into my awareness will be a priority.

Back to the happy place.

Jennifer

well...I can say from my own perspective that as I personally start to shift to a higher perspective everything is changing around me too. Sometimes I get random smiles and gestures from people without even flinching or moving a muscle, and also furthermore it seems to have brought the saneness in some people that I thought were insane. (really in actuality it was me being the one insane and the other people sane)

I believe that as we start to change we finally open up room in ourselves to see the joy and fun things in life rather than ignore them while stuck in mind activity. One thing my mind still can't fathom is how I'm able to communicate with people atleast 10 years my age..when about 2 years I could barely talk to my own peers. Life is miraculous don't you agree?

That's awesome, CollegeKid07! It sort of has to make you laugh to realize the how we convince ourselves the insanity is "out there" somewhere, doesn't it?

Just to be clear, I wasn't talking about shifts to a "higher" perspective, necessarily. I think any shift in the ability to see is brilliant and miraculous. The human ability to be flexible and supple. That is "higher" enough for me!

I feel a calm before a storm going on. A blank slate where I don't really "want" anything because all that wanting and chasing is for nothing. I hope to see a new way of wanting, but in the meantime it's peaceful. A clean slate feeling but still looking to claim more of my shadow self to feel whole and have a fresh start - to be born again. To want without the crushing need to have. To get there it's a matter of not wanting in the old way first.

I have not been particularly aware of any such mass shift, but that may be because I'm not looking for one.

Not masses as in numbers, but massive shifts in individuals. Haven't you noticed how many people are talking about entirely new outlooks or perspectives?

Maybe it is like when you get a new convertible Mustang, and all of a sudden you notice people driving them all over the place!

Well, I haven't seen it in the immediate people in my real life, but I am definitely experiencing massive shifts. I am even questioning the food I eat!!

Yea folks en masse are starting to think to become vegetarians (that is one of the stepping stones to further evolution of spirit), they started to see through the false prophets and politicians.. many changes are happening and will even accelerate further. Age of Aquarius is here before our doorstep and it will certainly change the world, BTW i am no hippie nor do i strive for hippie way of life so you can understand the scope of change.

Yes, jawillie, you are one of the people I was talking about!

@Mayo, it sounds like you're noticing people shifting in the world, and I was only noticing big shifts in people in these forums. Thanks for reminding me to look around for it in people I meet. I will make a point of doing that.

Of course, it's so easy to see in the folks here on the forums, because they are so open and generous about saying what's going on their deepest hearts. I must look a bit more closely to see what's in the hearts of my non-Internet avatars!

Yea I think sometimes when you focus on yourself...you lose yourself in the wonderful changes your're going through (not saying thats a bad thing lol)...but anyways I would say that I too haven't really noticed too much of things going on....mainly possible cause I was enjoying myself too much.

Angela - yes, I've definitely noticed this in myself and others!

I've also noticed an increase in the temporary chaos that can arise when we make a big shift and our vibrations change - the energy is swirling and settling at a new level

I don't know how to describe it, but it's like nothing I've experienced before. I've been asleep my whole life and I'm just waking up and it feels amazing. I'm still having trouble staying aware all the time, I go in and out of it.

Martin! That's so wonderful!

Really, I feel like there is a delicious wave of awakening going on. It is so exciting.

What does it say about me that all I keep thinking when I read the thread title is:

...the Age of Aquarius, Age of Aquariuuuuuus?

It's sort of astonishing, isn't it, Rose? In a fun way? I wonder if you have to be it to see it, or if it's visible anyway.

Harmony and understanding
Sympathy and trust abounding
No more falsehoods or derisions
Golden living dreams of visions
Mystic crystal revelation
And the mind's true liberation


Sounds so cool...

The 5th Dimension was so ahead of it's time; so are Earth Wind and Fire... but then I wonder if it's just a big circle and those of us who seek, find and then we seek some more and find some more... and more souls jump on board with us....

Like that song "Love Train"...


People all over the world (everybody)
Join hands (join)
Start a love train, love train
People all over the world (all the world, now)
Join hands (love ride)
Start a love train (love ride), love train
The next stop that we make will be soon
Tell all the folks in Russia, and China, too
Don't you know that it's time to get on board
And let this train keep on riding, riding on through
Well, well
People all over the world (you don't need no money)
Join hands (come on)
Start a love train, love train (don't need no ticket, come on)
People all over the world (Join in, ride this train)
Join in (Ride this train, y'all)
Start a love train (Come on, train), love train
All of you brothers over in Africa
Tell all the folks in Egypt, and Israel, too
Please don't miss this train at the station
'Cause if you miss it, I feel sorry, sorry for you
Well
People all over the world (Sisters and brothers)
Join hands (join, come on)
Start a love train (ride this train, y'all), love train (Come on)
People all over the world (Don't need no tickets)
Join hands (come on, ride)
Start a love train, love train
Ride, let it ride
Let it ride
Let it ride
People, ain't no war
People all over th
