INTRODUCTION: THE FUTURE OF THE EARTH |

Framed in the ancient prophecies of Judaism and Christianity regarding the future of the Earth, and supported by the mystical center of other spiritual traditions, we move into that future now through the growing awareness of God with us within the physical dimension of time and space, with us within our own bodies and consciousness. Predictions of the end-times, the New Jerusalem, the Heavenly City and visions of the prophets, have held that in that time God's presence will be felt upon the Earth as a tangible reality. Now, the door to that reality lies before us, yet how this transition happens is part of a great and unfolding mystery - one associated with the purposes of Creation and the evolution of human consciousness. In this moment, we are participating in that mystery as the progressive revelation of the relationship between Spirit and matter makes itself known, and as the collective heart and consciousness of humanity awakens. Within this section on planetary transformation, "The Christ-ing of the Earth" speaks to the link between past and future, creating hope for a new beginning for the Earth through the penetration of Light everywhere - a light that can be felt even now. "A Cosmology of Light" describes the purposefulness of Creation as the revelation and experience of God's Unity. It leads us toward an awareness of our own participation in the fulfillment of Divine intention. "Particle Physics and Unity/Individuality Consciousness" and "Moving Toward Fifth Dimensional Awareness" describe certain aspects of the transition that lie ahead for many and have already arrived for some. They reveal the movement of consciousness in the process of its own transformation. Of central significance, "An Awakening Earth," "The Horizon of Expanding Consciousness," and "The Cosmic Moment" each begin to disclose the steps into a new state of being and a new way of life for the Earth's inhabitants. In these and the remaining writings within this section, the articulation of concepts is offered so that the way may be trod more easily, with greater trust in the steps to be taken. In the end, these steps need not be known in advance, for all that is needed is the willingness to become the reality that lives in one's deepest heart - the desire to join in love and celebration with one's deepest Self, with God, and with all of life. This is the longing that will set mankind free.
