Here are his four reasons:
1. A shared sacred story that honors both objective truth and subjective meaning: For the first time in human history we have a creation story that not only addresses life’s biggest questions—Who are we? Where did we come from? Where are we going? Why are we here? How are we to live?—but helps us answer those questions in ways that are both religiously inspiring and scientifically accurate. No longer are subjective meaning and objective truth isolated from one another in separate domains. Both are conveyed through the same story. (read more)
2. REALizes religion, sanctifies science, and reveals the true magnitude of both: Many religious and non-religious people alike assume that religion is mostly concerned with otherworldly claims, and that science is devoid of meaning. But when we look at cultural evolution and appreciate the necessity of both day language and night language, we see that science is revelatory—it reveals truth—and that many of religion’s seemingly unnatural or miraculous stories actually have a measurably real, this-world referent.

3. Unmasks the powers of manipulation and clarifies our way forward: When we understand our brain’s creation story and its deep structure we can easily see how the media and advertising industry manipulate us by appealing to instincts related to sex, safety, sustenance, and status. An evolutionary worldview is essential for unmasking the powers of manipulation and for inspiring and empowering us to channel our instinctual energies in ways that serve our higher purpose and the common good.

4. Key to alleviating suffering, living life fully, and loving the life you live: So much suffering in the world today can be traced to people and groups being out of integrity—that is, living day by day in ways that just don’t square with Reality, with the way the world actually is. Individuals and families suffer, communities and organizations suffer, and nations and ecosystems suffer when we’re out of integrity. But here’s the catch: without understanding our place in the universe and life's trajectory, we won’t even know what integrity is, much less know how to live in it. (read more)

Good stuff!
ReplyDeleteHey John, I found this no the Daily Paul and thought you might appreciate it.
ReplyDeleteAlso, do you agree that our way out of the old paradigm is Freedom from the system? Do you support RP's movement because that is what I truly believe he represents: a way to move forward to the New Paradigm. Anyways enjoy this "message from our space brothers and sisters" -Rachel
"Your future is all about energy, and how you use it in respect of Self. Your physical body which you are taking with you as part of your Ascension, is comprised of millions of cells all carrying consciousness. They too like you are being affected by the energies that are all around you. By your thoughts and actions you attract certain energies to yourself, and these determine what changes take place within your body. By creating your own space around you, you can effectively provide protection that can prevent the lower energies from pulling your vibrations down. It is also the acceptance of your own power knowing that you are in control of your own reactions, and that nothing can touch you unless you open yourself to it.
At present the energies being sent to Earth are increasing in their potency, and we see so many of you able to accept them and lift up your vibrations. Certainly the numbers of you that sense changes are occurring is on the increase, but without preparing yourself in readiness to bring them to Self, you are so to say drifting in a sea of energy without any direction. Fortunately those of you who are aware of what is taking place, are compensating for them and manifesting the Light all around them. Also you are transmuting the dark energies, and making it easier for those who have been pulled down to break out of their control.
Ascension is laid before every soul, and before the end times each one shall have had an opportunity to accept or reject the path to the Lighted Realms. It is your choice, but clearly it would give us greater joy if many more were to lift up before it is too late. The old paradigm is still attractive to many who have come into life to experience materialism, and have not yet understood the Oneness of all life. They have insulated themselves against the Light by believing that they have all that is required of life, overlooking the guidance of their Higher Self. For them the task is extremely difficult, as their beliefs do not allow for changes. Nevertheless, there will still come a time when the truth shall stare them in the face, and then they must make a decision as to their future. No one shall leave this cycle without such an opportunity, as all is just and fair where your evolution is concerned.
There has never been a time when so much information is surfacing, about your true history and your immediate future. For many years the plan has allowed for many teachers to incarnate upon Earth, with a view to awakening as many souls as possible. Indeed, the changes have been occurring since the beginning of your 20th century, and it has intentionally been a slow process. It has gradually brought you out of your slumbers, and the intent has been to gently bring you into the Light. The greatest change has been your understanding of Self, and opening up to your power to determine your own future. Hitherto, you had given it up to those who took over control with their own agenda. Now many are leading the quiet and peaceful revolution, to take back their power and determine their own future.
Some people despair at what they see happening all around them, believing that they are doomed and cannot be saved. We say to them, believe in yourself and your power to change what you see. You are far more powerful than you realize and even your thoughts can affect the future. You do not solely act as individuals, as your contribution alters the mass consciousness, and it is an energy that can bring about massive changes. However, it requires that you bring Light to whatever you see that is out of balance, as a negative response will only strengthen the very thing that you desire to change. As we so often take care to tell you, it is fear that feeds the dark energies and they play on this knowing it to be their most powerful weapon.
There are more Lightworkers on Earth than at any previous period in your current cycle. It is a purposeful plan that is destined to create sufficient Light to not just contain the dark forces, but also prevent them from advancing their plan for global domination. They cannot achieve their goal without being able to control you, and for this purpose they have virtually taken over all of your media outlets. However, the communications between each other and particularly through your Internet, have ensured there is some balance between the contrived news and the truthful facts.
Your politicians with few exceptions have forgotten their oaths to serve you, and your leaders have become the minions of the dark forces known as the Illuminati. They control your lives even if you are unaware of it, and would totally enslave you if it were possible. However, their power is waning, and we of the Galactic Federation working with our allies have prevented them from achieving success. Their power structure is falling apart as they find so much opposition to their plans, and they cannot stop it growing and ultimately bringing about their downfall.
Regardless of what you perceive is happening all around your world, realize that it is in state of wondrous changes that are being led by the people. No power can rule without their backing, and dissent and demonstrations will persist until notice is taken of their demands. Even in countries with despots ruling you will find that changes are taking place. The rising up of the people is creating a massive thought form for change, and its energy must find full manifestation before very long. There is no going back to the old ways as they are now defunct, and are being cleared to make way for the new vision of freedom and worldwide peace. Be assured that your success is guaranteed not just because of our presence, although our support is clearly necessary. It is because the end times have been decreed as the time for the cleansing of Earth in preparation for Ascension. Absolutely nothing shall prevent your release from the dark forces, and our coming together in open loving friendship and the renewing our links from the past.
I am SaLuSa from Sirius, and each time I come to you I feel how much closer we are coming to that grand time of acknowledging each other’s presence. Accepting that we are One, and are evolving together on a great journey through the Cosmos. Knowing that we are all sons and daughters of God, and are all linked in everlasting Love and Light.
Thank You SaLuSa"
