Mind Leap: Intimate Changes and Communication Between Worlds

MIND LEAP 1960s/2012

Today the gauntlet of crises facing life on Earth is undeniable: from extreme poverty-hunger-disease to financial system upheaval, from religious-ethnic-political fanaticism to massive weapons proliferation, from pervasive ecological destruction to escalating climate change and natural disasters. The Hopi’s discerning understatement clearly applies: koyanniquatsi, “life out of balance”. Indeed, without a fundamental, planet-wide change of course, scientists warn that within the next decade, perhaps even by 2012, we may pass one or more “tipping points”. Thereafter, spiralling events could spell the decline of nature and civilization.

However, simultaneously, many voices around the world are portraying this same imminent period, leading to 2012 and beyond, as a time of rare transformative potential. The collapse of existing structures brings with it the opportunity to reinvent society on a surer, more resilient foundation. But more than the obvious socio-economic and environmental challenges are involved here. The voices of transformation are urging we prepare for the descent of spiritual energies, and synchronous rising of human energies, that will open up our blinkered view of what is real. In order for life again to flourish on this planet, humanity’s consensual, working reality must expand to include higher dimensions of being.

This opening to higher levels can begin as simply as tomorrow morning’s dream. But it has vast implications. It is essential in restoring the perspective we lack: on who we are, where we have come from and where we are going, individually and collectively; on our sustaining relationships with non-physical energies, which can generate inspiration and insight toward solving our many practical and existential dilemmas; and on the as yet unknowing power of human thoughts and emotions to reflect outward, co-creating the world around us. In other words, there can be no lasting solutions to external problems without overcoming our spiritual estrangement and achieving wholeness from within. By reconnecting with our source, we will rediscover what is truly essential in life and how to manifest it, helping to heal ourselves and our Earth.

Not the first new world to be born in the death throes of another, say seers of far ancient days. I include the Maya – by whose Long Count calendar the fifth World Age begins at the December solstice 2012 – and those you will meet in this series. While perceptions of what lies ahead vary, it is certain the future consciousness of humanity will diverge from the one that created these crises, and will represent a new evolutionary stage. Therefore a journey of transformation beckons us all – which means opening our minds and hearts, and stepping into the unknown. That is the point at which this book begins.

Of course, within our collective memory there was another period of widespread change, of leaps in consciousness and alterations of lives, though generally lasting only a few brief years. Yet they were a harbinger, those late 1960s to 1970s – and a preparation. Various groups and personalities spring to mind as representatives of that era, be they cultural heroes who pioneered and clarified the new awareness or self-aggrandizers who exploited and profited from its facsimile. But out of the public spotlight, certain others delved deeply, exploring new territories of experience with minimal distraction.

Today humanity needs to rediscover and share all that we have learned about transformation and the challenges inexorably approaching. To do so, we must move beyond our safe positions, whether of uncomprehending ridicule or understanding silence. Accordingly, you hold in your hands the first very public sharing from a couple of those relatively quiet explorers, two of us who were forever changed by encounters with energies of whom I have spoken.

The various names that humanity has given these energies are much less important than how we are learning to connect with them. And now, establishing more conscious relationships with higher levels has become an evolutionary necessity – as inevitable a quest as searching for physical life on other planets, and far more urgent. But far from alien, this connection is the most intimate thing in the world, for it flows from listening to one’s dreams, feelings and intuitions, perhaps eventually blossoming into more direct forms of communication.

Such communication has been spreading more widely than many suspect, expressed and understood in whatever ways individuals find most natural. Directly or indirectly, it has helped energize and enlighten movements toward peace, human rights, community and reharmonizing ourselves with nature. N On the other hand, those who wish to preserve the old limits on consciousness, who try to resist the rising energy environment we are entering, may soon face mounting pressures they will not be able to explain.

True, mass culture has made sport of forms of communication called “channeling”. And yes, the trivialization and abuses of supposed spiritual contact are obvious. But part of the mainstream attitude toward channeling – as also toward the wondrous communications called “crop circles” – is a nervous, adolescent reaction to something important. These are actual mysteries far deeper than their media image. Perhaps many are now ready to look seriously at the reality behind the caricature and begin to grasp the workings of this bridge between worlds.

We must be clear: spiritual communication is a cooperative endeavour between levels of being. That is why information should not be believed merely because it appears to come from a higher source. Consequently, anyone wishing to evaluate a body of non-ordinary communications should seek an inside view of how it emerged and evolved. One should be on guard against dishonesty and manipulation, against those putting on a front of all-knowingness and spiritual perfection, for fame and financial gain.

One should also look into how the communications addressed the psychic and very human problems encountered by those involved. The true value of a spiritual philosophy shows in how it is conveyed and applied, both day to day and in life’s emergencies – like the intensity attending the birth and early evolution of our own contact. We have chosen to share these life-changing experiences, and we invite readers to glean from them what is universal and/or useful to you.

Through this book, we introduce you to Moita (Moy-tuh), a friend and teacher and much more. We convey the path that led to Moita’s coming, the experiences and choices that opened us to her reality so that we could eventually share her and her own higher levels with hundreds of session participants. Moita teaches how unique, but ultimately alike, we all are. In this story, we hope you will find an encouraging mirror to your own different, yet not so different, challenges – your stepping-stones to the infinite energy at the centre of life.

Beyond this first book, future offerings in the Mind Leap series will continue our personal tale and share many more communications of an experiential and prophetic nature. The fact is, much that has been happening to our Earth, and is suggested by some may emerge circa 2012 and beyond, was mentioned or hinted at decades ago – and explained to us in the context of human and planetary consciousness evolving toward a new stage of co-creation. Though no definite target date was given, the similarity between the transition as then projected and what is developing and being spoken of now is impossible to ignore. Because of this, I feel assured that love and growth will be at the root of extraordinary changes to come. Special-effects movies aside, this is not a prophecy of ultimate catastrophe, but of transformation and renewal.
