What Can We Know About Our Evolutionary Leap?

Are we currently experiencing the beginning of our next evolutionary step? Is there something further for us to do?

In the novel The Celestine Prophecy by James Redfield, the narrator sees a vision of our evolution. This may give us a glimpse and better understanding of what is happening now. At first, there was nothing solid about universe. Matter is just energy vibrating. In the beginning, only hydrogen existed. As a few hydrogen atoms got together and heated up, they fused together and became the next higher vibration, helium. This same process changed helium to lithium, the next higher level, then on to the rest of the basic chemical elements.

In the next step, earth contained all of the elements and fell into orbit around the sun. Gases cooled, and water vapor, rains, and oceans appeared. Sun provided light, heat and radiation. Matter became more complex as amino acids evolved into plants and animals.

Each species emerged and moved into its next higher vibration. Then humankind appeared. Something led us forward and pushed us to next level of vibration or evolution.

While this is just a simple version of the process, Redfield's basic scenario may help us see the bigger picture. We have evolved by increasing our vibrations. And we are, I believe, at that next level of evolution.

We, as humans, are on an evolutionary path that has been speeding up. We are moving to the next dimension. Each change is accompanied with some discomfort, such as a snake shedding its skin. We have glimpses through meditation and books. Crop circles are one of the message-sending devices that provide an understanding of the energy swirl necessary to feel the surge that will carry us further.

We are evolving. We are feeling an energy shift. While we cannot know all of the details, since they are too complicated, at this point, for us to understand, we know that our awareness of the changes we feel is part of the challenge. We feel differently. We can begin to see differently. We are a part of this change, even if we don't want to be. It will just be harder if we don't have a sense that a positive change is occurring.

The timeframe is not as close as some want to believe. There is no disaster coming, not yet, not for a while as we begin to choose, by our actions, whether we want to be a part or not. Those withdrawing from what they know is an energy shift will remain in this dimension. Others drawn by those who have chosen freely and those who have chosen freely will move into the fourth dimension. The place will seem familiar, but that is only the surroundings. The difference will be within and in the new vibration, no matter how similar they may appear.

This evolving is not to be feared. The energy is changing. Higher vibrations are occurring. We need to relax, feel the energy shift and not fight what seems to be the flow. All will be clear in time. The outcome depends on our choices now.
