That we are moving into a time of profound change is a message that many people of many different cultures are receiving in many different ways. Not just through "direct transmission"; it is apparent to anyone awake enough and courageous enough simply to think, that we are moving into a period of unprecedented change. Whether you focus on the exponential growth of technology (which is beginning to allow totally amoral entities (corporations) to alter DNA and otherwise toy with the foundations of physical existence) or whether you focus on the fact that the "system" as we know it is on the brink of collapse (economic globalization is a global pyramid scheme, doomed for the same reason as all pyramid schemes) or whether you focus on the "environment" (and the awakening that global warming is bringing), it is obvious even at the thought level that we are moving into something unprecedented.

At that level, I think that the nation-state system (an experiment little more than half a millennium old) is going to break down very soon, probably within decades. Transnational corporations depend on governments in order to function, but through "free trade" they are increasingly weakening the power of governments to do anything except try to physically control populations to serve the transnational agenda, and combined with other factors like migrations of populations across borders, they are making governments increasingly irrelevant. The transnationals are like parasites killing their host -- when governments die, the transnationals will die with them. The nature of the corporate system is such that corporations -- at least the powerful ones, in order to have grown powerful in the first place -- cannot even act in their own long-term interests; they can only focus on the profits of the next quarter or two.

Whether the collapse of the system is a soft landing or a hard landing for our species depends on how fast it happens and how awakened and prepared our species groupmind is, and the awakening is spreading very fast, such that I think our species is willing itself to prepare for a transition that is gradual and positive rather than traumatically abrupt.

And the reason for this, I think and receive, is because the change that is happening at this time is more than just socio-political. Much, much more. But if our species groupmind -- already carrying much trauma for the past few thousand years in its collective memory -- has to deal with even more massive trauma, it will just make the real Transformation a more difficult birth.

("Transformation" is the word that I have been told to use for the change that is coming, in spite of the fact that it can be misunderstood in many ways.)

What is the scope of the Transformation? Although people everywhere are sensing change, I have seen the change framed by many people as relatively trivial -- compared, for example, to the Renaissance, or the mere change from one 2100-year zodiacal age to another (the Age of Aquarius, btw, begins in 2013).

What I have received, however, is that the Transformation is far greater than that.

What I have received is that this planet has had three great "moments": first, the birth of the Planet itself; second, the emergence of Life on this Planet; and third, the emergence of human-style consciousness within Life.

This "moment," I have received, is a fourth great "moment" comparable to those three.

And this Transformation will effect the entire Planet, not just the human species groupmind. Western culture since the Greeks has been obsessed with the question of "what separates Man from the animals" -- but the emergence of human-style consciousness was not something that separates us from the rest of Life. Human consciousness is an EXTENSION of the collective consciousness -- not a separation. We have had a hyperdevelopment of the aspects of consciousness which are distinct to our species, while letting the deeper layers of consciousness which are shared with all life to atrophy. Those deeper layers are also what connect us to each other, so it is no wonder that, as we have fragmented ourselves off from the rest of our Planet, we have also fragmented internally, losing our sense of connection to the One Consciousness, and, fractally, that also causes internal fragmentation of ourselves as individuals.

The reconnection happens simultaneously within ourselves as individuals, within the Human species groupmind, between our species and Life as a whole, and between our species and the One Consciousness of all Creation.

But it is more than just recovering the consciousness of unity and connection that our species all had before "civilization" began. In coming full circle, we are bringing something powerful back to the groupmind.

Our species has been through a deep trauma over the past few thousand years, and we have developed a negative self-image as a species, and a negative self-image is a self-fulfilling prophecy, at the species level just as at the individual level.

But if you have a trauma, and you manage to move through it and out the other side, you are wiser and deeper than you would have been if you had never had that trauma in the first place.

This is what I see our species moving through, collectively, as we struggle to heal ourselves as individuals and as a species. Every individual who heals himself or herself contributes to the healing of the Whole.

We have been, I have received, destined to move through this fourth great "moment" at this time. It did not have to be as traumatic as it has turned out to be -- it is sort of like a "breech birth" that threatens the life of both mother and child -- but when we get through it, it will be a new phase of existence. For ALL Being, for the One Consciousness as a WHOLE, not just for the human species. All of our experience belongs to ALL of Consciousness, and ultimately enriches it.

I resonate with those who say that 2012 is the "end of time," because I receive that at that point, the Human groupmind is going to start moving outside of its focus on linear time, and dates on a linear calendar are going to become increasingly irrelevant. The Mayan calendar, I have received, is more than just another system for fixing dates in time. It has multidimensional aspects that will begin to be discovered. That is why people are being drawn to the Mayan calendar, without knowing why.

These are some things that I have received about the scope of the Change that is happening.
