The Big Coming Spiritual Evolutionary Leap




I recently started going online to see if there was any consensus on What the Coming Big Evolutionary Jump will be.  Everyone agrees that Something is Coming, but everyone is vague about What it is.  Most of the New Agers are just spouting the usual Vague New Age Stuff  -- mostly about Wish Fulfillment – How they will Get Love just  by Wishing for it… How they will Get Money by just by Wishing for it.  Most New Age Stuff, after you peel away the Surface Fluff, really isn’t about Spirituality at all.   Even when the New Agers get into Meditation, it is all about achieving some form of Sensual Bliss.   And so when they Speak of a Next Big Thing – do they just mean that their Pleasure Seeking Greed Impulses will finally find Satisfaction?   Well, doesn’t That sound kind of like the Same Old Age We have been Living in?... just with more Happy Endings.   But Not Everybody can have More than Everybody Else, and that is what they All seem to want.  Not Everybody can be at the Top of this New Age Food Chain.   

Other more exactly Spiritual People propose that we will Lose our Egos.  Hmmmm, ordinarily I would not object to this projection, but, then I came across an interesting  set of videos regarding Kundalini by this one Young Woman, Soulful Toz , and in one of the Videos she detailed a period of time After the Initial Stretch of Peace and Bliss and Knowing  that resulted from  Her Big Kundalini Opening Enlightenment Experience, when, after a few Rapturous Months, at first she became depressed, and THEN for several Months SHE LOST HER EGO, and it wasn’t pretty!   You see, without an Active Ego Structure, there is No Desire to Do Anything.  So she sat like a lump staring out into space without even bothering to care about what she was looking at.  Her mind was a complete blank.  She became malnourished because she had no desire to eat.  She developed a Serious Hygiene Problem because she didn’t care to wash or bath or brush her teeth.  It was like she became Consciously Comatose, or Autistic.  Thank God, after a month or two her Mind began to Reorganize an Ego Structure.   So I wonder about people who want to get rid of their Egos.   It just goes to show that you Really Do Need to “be careful what you wish for, because you might get it”.   After seeing what Soulful Toz had to say I remembered what various Hindu Sages had said about the same thing.  Their Conclusion was that if the Ego does entirely disappear, then the Yogin usually dies in about 3  to 7 weeks.   So, Soulful Toz dodged a Bullet – apparently Friends and Family force fed her enough so that she didn’t just wither away and die.  

So, Where does that Lead us?  After seeing No Coherent Idea on What Would be Different with the New Regime,  I was forced to review what I Knew about Spirituality from my own Experience.  What I remembered were two Very Powerful Dreams I had decades ago.  In the First Dream this God or Arch-Angel in this Great Fiery Tree spoke to me.  You see, in the first part of that dream I happened across the Gravesite of Erasmus and it had been vandalized with spray paint saying “Erasmus will not live beyond the Grave”, and so I went “Harrumph, Everybody lives beyond the Grave” (yes, I was very young then, and that was what I thought).  Well Suddenly a large Tree that was atop this nearby knoll Exploded Into Dazzling Flames and this Voice of God (or a very powerful Angel) spoke saying “No, not everyone will live beyond the Grave, but Erasmus will”.    Oh, I need to mention something.  When the Tree first Exploded into Flames and Began to Speak, well, I my legs INSTANTLY collapsed underneath me and I landed on my knees (down on hard rock, but there was no pain, which surprised me even as it happened), and Tears shot forth from my Eyes, and I can’t recall that I was even Emotional (and That also impressed me as it was happening… “What am I crying About?” I asked myself).  Apparently it just seemed that in the Presence of This God or Angel, nobody could Stand, and everybody would cry.    Well, after the Angel had said that Erasmus would live beyond the grave, I got curious to know If I was also Struck Dumb, but I was able to say rather calmly and clearly  “What about me?  Will I live beyond the Grave? ”   Well, apparently the Angel isn’t used to being spoken too.  Apparently most people ARE Struck Dumb.  But, I need to mention that it seems like my Forte, my Strength in Dreams is that I am the Talker.  You see, In Dreams where I am a Member of a Group, and each member of the Group has a certain Task or Area of Expertise, well, I am always the One who Talks when Talking becomes Important.    Mostly whenever some Trouble Occurs and it Possible to Talk Our Way Out of It, I am the One who does the talking.  I’ve Talked Our way out of Jails, and I’ve Talked people into lowering their Guns, as well as just being a kind of ordinary Spokesperson.    But, my point here is that if Anybody’s Tongue would not Freeze up, it would be mine.   So me Talking back to God is probably not that remarkable.   But, back to this Very Important Dream, after my Question regarding the Fate of my Immortal Soul, there was a Pause, a Silence, and I began to get Edgy about a possibly Negative Answer.   But the Angel didn’t leave me hanging for long and said “Yes, you too will live beyond the Grave.  BUT REMEMBER ONE THING – THAT BIRTH IS BUT AN ILLUSION AND CHRIST IS THE LIFE IN ALL THINGS.”   Notice, that the Angel did not say “Death” is an Illusion, but Birth.  This Means that the Entire Basis for our Individuality is an Illusion and that None of Us have any Real Independent Life.  As far as Life is Concerned there is only One Consciousness in the Universe and that is the Cosmic Christ Consciousness.  

The Second Dream that came to mind was very vivid.  It was like a Lucid Dream before I knew about Lucid Dreams (before anybody knew about Lucid Dreaming, which was first mentioned by Dr. Ann Faraday in her 1972 book “Dream Power”, still in print) , as everything was vibrant and shimmering – the Sign of a Big Dream.   I was out in a kind of Southwest Desert Expanse, where there were grasses here and there, and scrubby bushes and a few trees here and there.  Suddenly up comes this Young Man.  He was very thin, and dark, and had just a few scraggly hairs where a Man would have a beard.  He came up close to me, so close that it made me feel a bit uncomfortable.   And he Smiled.  His Face just Bloomed and Radiated with It!  And his Eyes were mesmerizing and full of this Joy and Love – I had never seen anything like it in my Life.   Apparently the Young Man noticed my discomfort (THAT struck me Dumb!)  and so he nodded goodbye and turned and strolled off.  When he was about 30 feet away THAT VOICE came out of the Sky saying “And He went out into the Wilderness and Became One” and then the Young Man developed this Silver Blue Aura and as he kept walking I noticed that the Grass at his Feet also began to develop a Silver Blue Aura, and then the Bushes, and then the Trees off into the Distance.  Everything that was ALIVE suddenly had the Same Aura He Had.  That was when it hit me -- “Oh My God”, I thought, “THAT is the Christ who is the Life in All Things”. 

So, after thinking about those Two Important Dream my Feeling is that the Next Big Evolutionary Spiritual Jump will be toward a Collective Consciousness.  All the New Age Concerns about Ego Gratification are on the wrong track.  And the Spiritualists who wish to eradicate the Ego are also on the Wrong Track.  What Will Happen is that Our Minds will come in Contact with that Collective Consciousness and simply be Subsumed – Our Personas will be replaced by some Appropriate Collective Persona.   Just think about it, that after you Experience the Consciousness of All Living Things, you really can’t expect to Shake it Off and return to your same old trivial personal agenda.  Once you Experience the Cosmic Christ Consciousness you will inevitably have Bigger Fish to Fry.  

Of course one cannot be sure about the Details.  Will Everybody be ‘Swallowed Up’ all at once?  Perhaps not.   But there will be SOME Men and Women who will become Nexus Points for the Christ Consciousness, and they will All have the Same Consciousness and will Work in Coordination.   Each one will Be One with the Life around them.  This is reminiscent of one of the Powers that some Shamans were purported  to have… well, not exactly – they would say that Shamans would turn into Birds or Wolves, but actually what was happening is that they simply were able to Use the Consciousness of existing Birds and Wolves (here I Picture that Young Man in my Dream as he went out into the Wilderness, seeing and smelling what every Coyote and Ground Squirrel saw and smelled and having a Bird’s Eye View from every Bird the Flitted by) .   Such Enlightened Ones will be able to Know what everyone around them is experiencing  -- everyone’s Consciousness will be an Open Book to them.   

I have a feeling that this Enlightenment will be as Contagious as a Fire, and will quickly spread.  Indeed,  in thinking about my Dream of the Young Man who Became the Life in All Things, it occurred to me that I should have ran after Him and caught up and through some unspoken eagerness got Him to Share his Consciousness of All things with Me.  Of course, that would have Wiped out my Sense of Individuality and I would have become a Nexus in the Collective Consciousness, and I would have taken the Evolutionary Jump some 30 or 40 Years ago.   Well, what Old Man is there that doesn’t have a Long List of Missed Opportunities?   7/24/17
