We are evolving!
Last night I had a lot of intense energy moving through my body and it jolted me wide awake. It felt like a blissful white light pouring into me, reactivating parts of my DNA and clearing debris from my cells. I couldn’t sleep again afterwards and then a thought experiment came to me which I felt to share. Here it is!
I invite you to take an imaginary journey with me, back to the time of Copernicus. Picture yourself as an average person living in Europe in the 1500s. Most likely, your life revolves around farming, family and church. Your belief system comes from Christian teachings. You have been taught in church that the earth is at the centre of the solar system and the sun and planets revolve around earth. Your life is simple, but you feel fairly confident and secure in your place in the world and in relation to the celestial bodies.
Then, you begin to hear whispers that a man called Copernicus has evidence the earth actually revolves around the sun. It seems ridiculous! What a crazy idea! You laugh with your friends about this heretical fool. Anyone can see that the sun moves across the earth’s sky every day.
And then one day, decades later, the church says ‘OK, yes, Copernicus was right all along.’ Some people had probably slowly allowed this possibly to sink in during those intervening years, and accepting it would be relatively easy for them. But for others, who had been taking the church’s teachings as the absolute truth, that must have been a pretty mind-boggling revelation. How much resistance and fear might people have experienced when their fundamental beliefs about their place in the cosmos had to be rewritten?
Nowadays, we tend to reflect back on times gone by and think ‘how quaint that our ancestors used to believe that’, looking at our new technology and scientific findings and maybe feeling superior and wiser. It is easy to think of ourselves as ‘modern (wo)man’, the pinnacle of evolution on earth, and assume that our working scientific models of the world are the true and accurate ones.
But we forget that we are in exactly the same position as those people were pre-Copernicus... for the large part we still form our belief systems based on what we have been told by people who are the current ‘experts’ in a field, without having any direct experience of it ourselves. The beliefs we have been taught form the foundation of our world view and will feel true to us, unless they are later proven wrong or a deeper inner-standing occurs.
I sense that over the coming years many things will be revealed to us that will shatter our current understanding of humanity’s place on this planet and in the wider cosmos. This will shake our shared consensus reality to the core. But this is part of what it means to be a human, evolving and learning as a species, and it is not to be feared. We are adaptable and can recalibrate our beliefs about the world in light of this new information with relative ease.
I am not asking you to believe me - in fact, the opposite! I really encourage you to begin to question EVERYTHING! Question what you are being encouraged to believe by others or the media. Question what you were taught in school. Who decided which ‘truths’ would be presented to the next generation there? What other beings might be benefiting from having you believe the information? Why are so many people who question the status quo dismissed as ‘conspiracy theorists’ and ridiculed, just as Copernicus was?
Most importantly, how much can you tune into the wisdom within your own body to get a feeling for whether something is true at the deepest level, instead of believing/dismissing things automatically, or over-analysing with the mind (which in my case is often full of contradictory ponderings and social conditioning!). With so much conflicting information and so many varying theories around, we all need our discernment and intuitive knowing active at this time more than ever. Sending so much love to you all as we flow through this super intense time in humanity’s evolution!
