It is the end of an era – much was learned, much was
lost. The choice for change, for an end,
for justice and for peace has already been made. This choice was made by everyone; this
“everyone” includes every person inside the 7 billion of humanity. Movement is accomplished bit by bit – sudden
movements are not possible. Change is
inevitable and guaranteed. It feels
slow. You are moving more than a
mountain. You are altering an entire
race.
This thing that is happening, this altering of life on earth,
is occurring within the only “time frame” that it can. Depending on your
location and perspective, you’ll consider this process to be too fast, too slow
or appropriate. Yet it is happening, and
evidence of the change is everywhere.
To move something this large takes time and planning. Imagine moving a 7 billion pound animal. First you’d have to understand where it was
going. Then you’d make sure it would fit
and create the appropriate home for it.
After that there may be some effort put into explaining to the animal
where it was headed and why. Each effort
would bring it a little closer to being ready to go.
Once completed, the move itself, if it were to happen at the
animals own pace and instigation, would have to happen relatively gradually so
as not to disturb the life cycle too much.
The goal would be seamless rather than shocking, to maintain the health
and well being of the animal.
Some parts of the creature would get there sooner than other
parts. Some sections may require special assistance; an animal of this size
quite possibly has never moved from where it began. It has no innate facility to do so now. Learning will be necessary so that
cooperation and willingness can support the effort.
All of this, although happening at the same time, may appear
unrelated and disconnected. The sheer size
of this animal means that parts of it are separated from other parts by great
distances. These parts may even reside
in different time zones. For something
this large, movement is barely perceptible.
“Time”, awareness and comparison are the tools used to measure
change. Speed is relative and in this
effort, a day, week or even a year may yield only slight differences.
What is important is the health and autonomy of the
animal. The desired effect, at the
culmination of this effort, is for it to feel a sense of accomplishment and understanding
for what it has done.
If, on the other hand, you were able to forcibly pick up
this 7 billion pound animal and drop it into a new “home”, the effect would be one
of confusion, trauma, stress and loss.
The suffering and pain that would result would cause irreparable damage
to some parts and even possibly death.
The goal here is to assist this animal in moving to a new
place all on its own. Nothing moves without consent and understanding. This is not an aggressive shove but a
universal adjustment, orchestrated in beautiful synchronicity by every single
cell of the animal. Progress is nearly
invisible unless you step back a very great distance. Yet movement is felt everywhere, some of it
painful, some of it joyful, all of it indicative of this massive shift that is
happening.
We chose to move all 7 billion pounds by ourselves and we
are doing so. With each individual
change we slightly alter our position.
One day we’ll look back and see just how far we’ve come. As long as we stay the course, our arrival is
assured.
We are the ones we’ve been waiting for.
What a great analogy. What perspective . . .All of us on Earth, all 7 billion pounds (of us) relocating, regrouping and evolving as One
