We are teetering on the edge of a great transition in consciousness. This transition will affect the planet as well as every kingdom of life on the planet; animal, vegetable, mineral and human.

Until now we have, the entire human race, been creating our physical world together through choice, often unconsciously. Our choices, collectively, have been creating everything we think, see, feel and do in this world. They have created our circumstances. We call this the Group Consciousness. We had the choice to create through joy, or through struggle and pain. Our young spirits planned this purposefully because we wanted to learn what it meant to be physical. Any physical choice was a "good" choice because it was simply another experience in the physical realm. Together we created an "interesting" world full of struggle and hardships. We learned greatly through pain, and it has served us well.

We also had the choice to create through joy, which we did to some extent. We explored our world as a child does in wonder and awe. We have, as a group, now explored every possible expression of Spirit on this physical plane.

Now, because we have experienced creating through both joy and sorrow, we have the energetic opportunity to change from being unconscious creators to being conscious ones who choose to clear creation through pain. We can choose, in the new energies, to create through joy alone. This is the edge on which we stand poised, this is the great transition in consciousness.

We have survived infancy, childhood, the "teen" years in our development. We are now adults fully consciously aware, if we choose, of how the physical works, of what cause creates what effect. Now it's time to accept that we are "grown up" and move into that response to ability. We have been working for this for such a long time and we now remember. We have finally come to the reality of creating through joy because we've learned well through pain.Now joy will serve us as well.

Now it's time to start choosing again; however, choosing what we KNOW, based on experience, will create a world in which we can take pleasure, a world where all aspects of life are honored. We are the stewards of this world.

So the question becomes what needs to be done to create that? The first step is acceptance, acceptance that you are "in charge" of you and your life and all that you create through that. Once you've done that, you become "self-actualized" which means you understand in totality who you really are and can choose from a point of objectivity because you no longer feel "less than" or that you must protect yourself.

Objectivity can be a lovely attitude for humans. Objectivity requires that you evaluate a situation on the basis of what is really happening, not on the basis of what you desire or are concerned about. What often causes possible lack of objectivity is your emotions. Those emotional energies have allowed us to "feel" and those feelings are what brings fullness to our experience here. It is also those feelings that have become distorted by false assumptions and false beliefs leading to confusion. This was necessary for us to experience the physical because if we remembered that we were Spirit and unlimited during this development phase, we would not have had the totality of the physical experience nor would we have gained the understanding and compassion that is necessary for us to move further forward in growth and understanding. I guess you could say this learning and evolution took a bit longer than "expected" because we have made those false assumptions and beliefs habits of thought and feeling and we lost awareness of the fact that we were doing that. Like any habit, it slipped out of our consciousness. We have set ourselves in a position to create the energies that are assisting us to bring those "habits" to the surface, clear them and forgive ourselves because NOTHING was a mistake, it was merely experience.

It is time for us to take on the mantle of objective, loving, adult humans. It is time to accept that we are now laying the ground work for the Earth that will be in joy. It is time to PLAN your part of the new world that is created through objectivity seeing the truth and powered by unconditional love.
