We’ve all been getting a little impatient, haven’t we? We want to “be there”….arrive at our destination…that destination being the 5th dimension, right? It feels as if we’ve been at this for a very long time; our patience is getting thin, our hearts are heavy with the sadness of looking at the atrocities taking place out there . Our bodies feel fatigued, our lives are in disarray as we tend to one crisis and then another. Relationships are strained, finances are tight, health issues are showing up and we sometimes wonder if anything positive is ever going to happen. Where is this 5th dimension…this “new earth” that we were promised? And why are we still seeing so many people deep in their unconscious state- totally oblivious to what is happening around them….how is that even possible?

Let’s look at it. From where I am sitting it appears the world is splitting apart. Growing even larger is the gulf between those who are ready to move into a world of unity consciousness and those who are still needing to experience a state of separation. The decision to stay in a world of duality or move into a higher state is one made on a soul level- it is based on your actual vibration. You have to be in tune with it first….in other words, you need to have come into the awareness of who you are- awakened enough to see the world around you for the illusion it is and then put forth the conscious effort to move beyond it. This movement into the higher dimensions is not something that just happens to you….you just happen to be in the right place at the right time. No, it is a conscious decision you make to change your mind about what you have perceived and believed to be your reality up to this point. It is work.

We live in a world of illusion. This is a holographic universe and we are projecting our thoughts and beliefs onto the screen of our shared mind. We are playing in creation. At some point, we- the aspect of the Creator that is considered you and that aspect of the Creator that is experiencing itself as me, decided to have an experience of “otherness”….separation. We thought it sounded interesting and we wanted to see what would come of a world that was cut off from Source. Well, now we know. Chaos, pain, unbelievable atrocities perpetrated upon one another and the total destruction of our beautiful mother earth. Clearly we are not meant to live in a state of total autonomy. All of our pain and suffering comes from the state of separation we have imposed upon ourselves.

Those who are choosing to not remember who they are at this time are not to be judged for needing or wanting more time to experience a third dimensional world. Take solace in the fact that those souls will continue their journey on a third dimensional plane that is not a world of enslavement. The prison planet of earth is going away and will not be returning.

So we are like little children kicking the back of our parent’s seat as we whine, “Are we almost there?” You know this answer, yes? It is not a destination. We are going nowhere….if anything, we are returning to ourselves. But in truth, even that doesn’t capture the truth of what is occurring.  We are choosing to forgive (let go of) this game we brought into being and bring about a world of peace and love. Compassion is what is called for at this time- great compassion for those still needing the experience of duality. Compassion for those still playing the games of a 3rd dimensional planet of separation. And compassion for ourselves as we muddle along this slippery slope. We are the ones holding the light of truth causing the illusionary world to fall away. It is our dedication to the truth that will bring about our arrival to that elusive destination we have conceptualized as the 5th dimension.

We assist those still caught up in the illusion by remembering the truth for them- by seeing the truth of who they are- even though they have forgotten it. We allow them- those who are, in truth, our “otherselves” to have their own experience. Being part of oneness, the best thing we can do for humanity is to raise our own vibration.

We made this world. We need not stay in it any longer than we want. It can be transformed in the single beat of your heart. ACIM says the end of this world will not come through its destruction, but through a change in our perception. And so it will, but we must be willing to surrender the world as we have known it. It takes trust. If you thought awakening was going to be a beautiful stroll into the sunset, you will find you have been mistaken. Your world is going to crumble- all that does not serve your highest good will fall away and/or be transformed. You need to be committed to this journey and want it more than anything else, but know that this journey is inevitable. You will take it – you must take it….your only choice is when.

I will leave you with this thought:     “Enlightenment is a destructive process. It
has nothing to do with becoming better or being happier. Enlightenment is the
crumbling away of untruth. It’s seeing through the facade of pretence. It’s the
complete eradication of everything we imagined to be true.”
