Earth is Awakening, are You?
A Shamanic Vision of Spiritual Awakening
By Rowland Anton Barkley, Personal Competence Metaphysician

These are very important times for spiritual evolution on Earth. I find people awakening much faster than ever before, deciding in an afternoon to lead more enriched lives. 10 years ago it would take months for people to go through such a process.

A time of mass spiritual awakening, is a dangerous time to just sit back and wait for enlightenment. Forces have been unleashed that are chaotic and disturbing in many ways, with emergencies both environmental and in the collective unconscious. This provides us with more pressure to evolve both personally and as a race than ever before. There is a reason for this darker trend. In evoking forces of light, one also needs to master the dark side, or one will be taken over by it. This is not a competition between good and evil, where only one side wins. Deep Shadow Transformation as an individual, and also as a race is an urgent matter.

Intensely sensing and total acceptance of our instinctive sides is mandatory if we are to recover out passion, motivation, and power to transform ourselves, and act usefully in the world.

In these times people wake faster than ever before, yet the tendency to fall for projected illusions such as the television news is also greater. It is important to hold positive vision at all times possible so we act as a positive magnet that polarises creative world changes.

A person or family who does not awaken spiritually is destined to repeat actions dictated by mechanical laws of cause and effect. Once one lives a life in harmony both with one’s own spiritual goals and the physical goals of the body, mechanical karma no longer exists. When you are being truly yourself, it is natural for the powers of the universe to support you.

People are complex creatures, with intelligence, Spirit, Soul, and animal instincts such as territorial and combative urges. These animal instincts cannot be rejected without them bursting out at the most embarrassing times. What is vital is for our Animal Self to rise up in consciousness by the power of being touched by our hearts, and blessed by our minds.

As Shamans, we can hold a tree, experiencing from it how it sways in the wind, yet retaining its strength. We can feel the waves of the sea, and sense how the cycles of the moon are necessary to the existence of life. We can look at and feel the many types of animals, and sense within us all their various qualities, experiencing their totality as our deep emotional intelligence.

We can then learn to sense the power of our Higher Self flowing through our body to deep within the Earth, and the power of Earth herself flowing through the body and out your head to the Higher Self, and then the Universe. This creates a field that will restore deep and previously lost regenerative and healing abilities. This brings about a new state of acting with passion and joy in the world, yet always aware of, and receiving knowledge and blessings from our own eternal nature.

The next 10 years are the most crucial years ever in determining the quality of life that will be possible for the human race. I hope your deep work on awakening yourself will be a contributing factor to a positive future of Earth.

During this time I plan to continue teaching Healing Trances around the world. In Trances, parts of ourselves that seemed conflicting can learn from each other. In Trances, visions for the future unfold that allow everybody to win. We are all Children of Nature, and in reconnecting with the forces of Nature, the abundance of the universe supports us, no matter what seems to be going on in the consensus world around us.
