Previously, if you happen to have read the introductory articles on this website (please read those), I talked about why we are in a time of change, a time of change that is honestly much greater than anything in the last several thousand years (though all of that time has been culminating to now). I talked about the Yuga Cycle, and I talked about all the different prophecies that speak to this time and the time that follows. And I spoke about the current outer planet transits.

What I have not really talked about is: what the heck do we do? 

To answer this question, let me just say there is some good news and bad news. I’ll start with the bad news first. In many ways, there isn’t a whole lot we can do in the traditional sense of the word “do”. There is not really a way we can control the change in any material way. There is not a way we can learn a certain skill that will be guaranteed to protect us. There is no place we can move, no investment we can make, no weapon we can purchase that will do anything materially that will protect us. 

Maybe we can do something that will protect us in the short term, but these will not protect us in the long-term. They will not be sustainable ways of life, and one thing that this change is all about is routing out all that is unsustainable. The entire earth is connected and conscious. Anyone who is living in an unsustainable way will be routed out. The abusers of the world will not read this blog, so I don’t say this to them. I more likely say it to victims of the world, or the people who feel like victims or have been victims. I want to assure people that justice will be had, but that it doesn’t need to be you who will administer this justice.

(There will be many people who are administering justice, but I doubt they will be reading this blog. No one in America will be the people administering the kind of justice I am talking about.)

So while this is “bad news” as I said, it is in many ways good news. If you feel any pressure to right the wrongs of the world, you can let them go. That’s not to say that you will not be living up to your purpose, which includes bettering the world. It’s just to say that, most likely, you will not be righting these wrongs in an organized, controlling fashion.

Revolution and Activism, the Modern Version

Let me go a little further and break it to you if you are the kind of person who is an activist, a protestor, a “revolutionary”. All of the ways that people have been activists, protestors, revolutionaries in the last hundred or more years are now outdated. 

That is a bold and blanket statement, but I stand by it. Because in the last hundred and more years, we’ve been living in a world of top-down control. So all of this activism and revolution has been operating or attempting to operate at that level.

Now, if you are still trying the same methods, you are most certainly not helping the world. You are merely failing to take personal responsibility. You are hiding in this collective habit, in I will just say, a delusion of change.

So what is the modern version? 

Let me start by saying that every generation has a different calling. What those before us accomplished was what we needed then. What those after us will accomplish will be very different from what we accomplish. So I’m not providing any kind of blueprint that will work far into the future. It’s just a blueprint for, let’s say, the next few years.

The first ingredient of being a modern changemaker, a modern revolutionary, is healing oneself and finding the help we need to be healed. What does “healed” mean? Healed means breaking out of our conditioning, the conditioning from our parents, their parents, and this whole culture that we have come from. It means recognizing our traumas, not as something we want to get rid of, but as something we no longer need to be governed by. Healing, I will say, is not something that is ever finished. What is important is that we become committed to the path of continuous healing, continuous self-awareness and responsibility.

So much is needed to do this, and I can’t possibly describe it in this article (nor do I even know). But this is a key directive of this time we live in. We want to move forward in a better way, but we can’t move forward until we have really purified ourselves from all these destructive, automatic responses. That goes on the individual level and also the collective level. (And I can assure this is something I’ve learned or been learning very painfully!) We might want to just fix it, but there is SO MUCH in the way of us being able to live in the way we need to live. SO MUCH.

SO MUCH.

We don’t need to fix ourselves either. But we do need to commit to this path of healing. And luckily we have such an incredible amount of resources when it comes to healing. We have this whole field of psychology that has blossomed in the last hundred plus years. We have all of these indigenous healing practices that are resurfacing and blossoming. We have astrology… the modern version that can be combined with all the ancient wisdom too.

With the internet, we’ve had all of these practices and all of this knowledge come together (though there are still a select few who can utilize these with true wisdom). In the future, we will not rely on the internet. We will not even have the internet. But its existence has allowed us to come together in new ways, to begin again, to return.

What Else?

But healing, that’s not enough! You might be feeling this or wondering this. It might not be, but for now it is. That feeling that it’s not enough is just our impulse to fix, an impulse that it is not going to serve us right now.

Of course, sustainable farming and things of that sort are totally required to live sustainably in the future. But we shouldn’t expect to be able to create something that will last through all this change that is coming. We are developing, sprouting, growing into what we need to be, and much of it will last, but we need to learn to live with dynamism and faith.

If you follow your healing journey far enough, you will not be worried or scared any more, because you will have seen so many signs that you are supported by divine or otherworldly hands. You will know that, even if you were to die, it would not be unexpected or for no reason.

Not that I want that to be central to what I’m saying today, but it’s true.

If you are a parent, you must also trust that your child is being supported. And you must also learn that, in many ways, your child knows better than you. It is humbling to realize that, humbling to realize that the new generations know better than us, but it’s true. We need to be who we are and inspire them to be who they are. (They’re gonna think we’re weird old people no matter what.) But we can’t really provide them a prescription for how to live. We most certainly cannot guarantee their protection in a material way.

The best way to guarantee it, or get as closely as possible, is to get rid of all our conditioning and outworn habits, so that we can become a clear channel for divine energy. The Earth and the Divine want those people around who are living harmoniously and supportively. Why would they not protect us?

Crazy miracles are possible. Crazy miracles are happening each and every day. Our lives can become one great miracle if we allow that to happen… I wish it for you and me, and for as many people as possible. But I know that we gotta put in the work too!

Anyways, I hope you enjoyed this read and I hope you get something from it. I wish I could just deliver good or positive news, but we can’t skip past all the darkness and ugliness and go straight to the good and positive. We have to work our way through that dark tunnel, and even once making it out, we may have more dark tunnels to journey through in the future. That’s the time we’re in. Not easy but very rewarding, very rich, very interesting…
