What can each of us do to bring Spirit down to Earth?
I believe that each of us will do our part. My part was
creating a mechanism for each person's talent to be used for others,
particularly in the Global South. I founded and direct nGoAbroad,
a clearinghouse and referral service that custom-fits peoples' skills,
interests and goals with international humanitarian needs. nGoAbroad
enables amazing people to do amazing things.
In 1983, I left Seattle to study with the Lorian Institute
in Madison, Wisconsin. I sat at the feet of David Spangler and other
Findhorn refugees. David introduced our class to Peter Russell's book
The Global Brain. Intuitively, I sensed the huge global transformations
that Peter wrote about.
Over time, I learned that I am a bridge. I am fascinated
by a transpersonal perspective but am restless until Spirit is brought
down to Earth. I spent the next 10 years of my life studying the transformations
occurring all over the world: the Soviet empire was bursting open and
giving birth to new nations. Almost contagiously, Africa threw off their
founding Presidents that had morphed into Presidents-for-Life. Central
and South America were making a simultaneous push for democracy.
From an astrological perspective, we are entering the
Age of Aquarious which means during the next 2000 years, the collective
themes will be: equality, "where each person is the knower."
In short, Spirit will shine in each person. Human potential will inch-by-inch
be realized. Aquarius is also sudden, electric change; revolution. Aquarius
figured prominently during the French and American Revolutions when
Equalite, Fraternite, Liberte were the guiding themes. Present global
inequities resemble those in France before the French Revolution: 7/8ths
Have-Nots who only have access to 1/8's of the world's resources, and
1/8th Have-Lots who use 7/8th of the world resources.
