Why I have Trust and Faith in the midst of these crazy times on our planet......

We are evolving....

There is no way around it. These times we are living in are bonkers!!!

Wherever you live, regardless of your political leanings, even if you barely stick your head up to see what is going on in the world, you know, it is crazy out there!

Why am I reminding you of what is already in your face every damn day? Because there are many ways to handle/deal with all that is swirling around us, and the events of our times that are changing things in our world in major ways. I think we all feel it.

I am not a member of an organized religion. Nothing against anyone who is, you do you. Regardless, in many religious circles you may hear about faith and trust. I don’t believe you have to be part of an organized religion, however, to utilize faith and trust in your life. There is great power in having faith and trust in the face of adversity!

You may be asking, why would I have faith and trust in times like these? I don’t even have trust or faith in what may happen in the next hour, much less in a general sense.

Let me ask you. Why do you think we are here? Here. Living. On this Orb we call Earth.

Is it a pointless existence that came to be only as a happy accident? Is it only because the right chemical and biological reactions happened to occur on our planet? Is there any point to our lives beyond living and dying? I believe there is a point.

Do you believe we have a soul? If so, what do you believe is the purpose of our soul? Why is our soul in/integrated into our amazing bodies, that carry us through our journey on this planet? Is there a purpose or purposes for our soul? I believe our souls purpose is the reason we are here in the first place. Our souls development is the reason physical environments such as Earth exist. These worlds are our souls playgrounds/school. We come to experience, express, evolve, expand and become more sophisticated versions of ourselves.

There are many in the spiritual community who feel we are in the midst of the end of a cycle for humanity. An inflection point.

For thousands of years humanity has been all about organizing people into communities, cities, kingdoms, countries. The primary purpose of bringing people together or moving from Nomadic people to people who live in communities, cities, kingdoms and countries, was to build.

We definitely accomplished many amazing things and transformed the way we live. During these thousands of years of building we moved from Nomadic hunter/gatherers, all the way to walking on the moon, every imaginable convenience at our fingertips, worldwide communication, we are even building AI that may already be or soon will be conscious. We are impressive!

What has been the cost of all of this building though? Many have been or continue to be enslaved, subjugated, oppressed/suppressed. We have been funneled into numerous expected and accepted ways of living that severely limit our range and options for expressing ourselves. These restrictions often, and generally, have the goal of social control (you need this to organize people to build). Myth, lies, distortions of truth, intimidation, fear, shame, guilt and a general suppression of people has held all of this together. These ways of maintaining control are baked into most of our major systems.

Here is the thing. We seem to have reached the limit of what this building phase for humanity can provide for us. We are literally the most intelligent species on the planet, and at the same time the dumbest, as we are propelling ourselves towards our own extinction.

So, here is why I have trust and faith, despite what appears to be the fraying and crumbling of our World.

More and more people/souls are waking up! People are beginning to see through the tactics and mechanisms of the systems of our societies. If you are reading this, you are likely one of them. More and more are also exiting or working to exit the repressive systems (government, religion, capitalism, etc., which some call “the matrix”) that have defined this era of humanity. As we exit these systems, they are upping the ante, doubling down and coming on stronger in order to try to survive. We are witnessing the rise of Authoritarian governments, Christian Nationalism, backlash against progress made by minorities and marginalized people, efforts to limit our educational systems and what people are taught, etc. I am sure you have your own examples.

Here is the thing. In the long run, all of this thrashing about by these dying systems is nothing more than an extinction burst, a death rattle if you will. The energy on our planet is shifting, and these systems will no longer be supported. This era of humanity has over developed our ego’s and muted our souls. As we work our way back to our souls, and out of these systems, we will not be so easy to control. Hence, the increased intensity of effort by these systems to contain us in them. Our exit threatens their survival.

So, we are in the beginnings of the next stage of evolution for humanity. Things can go many different ways, and no one knows exactly where things will land. However, now is an amazing time to be on planet Earth. We are living through history, and as a collective have the opportunity to shape the direction and evolution of our species on our planet. What an opportunity for the expansion of our souls!

Earlier, I asked what you think is the purpose of our soul. I believe the primary goal and purpose of our soul is to come to physical environments, such as Earth, to have novel experiences that lead to our expansion and increasing sophistication. I also believe we repeat this process of incarnation infinitely. In other words, this is likely not your last lifetime, far from it. This is partly what I base my trust and faith upon. As scary as these times seem, I know I will go on, no matter what. As a strand of source consciousness in a body, nothing can destroy me/my soul. I believe this to my core and the trust and faith I have in this helps to sustain me through these times.

As I said previously, I also believe we are at the beginning of a new stage of evolution for humanity, and I have trust and faith that our recent history will lead us to build a different world than we have experienced. This world will not be perfect. Perfection is not the point. We need the challenges so we can overcome them and expand our consciousness/soul. However, I believe we will evolve to be more heart centered, more in touch with our souls desires, less homogeneous as a species and less restrictive around our expressions. This appears to be the direction of the new underlying energies, and in this I also have trust and faith.

What do you have trust and faith in that can, or is, sustaining you through these times of rapid change on our planet? I would love to hear it. We all need something in these challenging times.
