LP FAQS

The quickest way to get started is to visit the Lightning Path Curriculum menu. There you will find the LP materials laid out in a graduated program of study designed to help you you remove The Blindfold and return yourself to a condition of awakened empowerment.

Alternatively you can visit our Lightning Path Book Store and browse the books there. The best way to purchase the books is with one of the heavily discounted LP packages.

The answer to the question of whether the LP is compatible with a particular brand of spirituality is yes and no. Insofar as a particular religious brand acknowledges the fundamental divinity of all things…

…insofar as a particular brand eschews judgment, exclusion, and punishment…

…insofar as a particular brand recognizes the primacy, unity, and divinity of consciousness…

…insofar as a particular brand works towards removal of The Blindfold…

…insofar as a particular brand dismisses a horrid and exclusionary duality (i.e. the belief in good and evil)…

..insofar as a particular brand works toward the greater good of ALL CREATION and not a limited subset based on race, ethnicity, “intelligence,” body type, and so on…

…then yes the LP is compatible.

However, when a particular brand of spirituality starts to make exclusions (i.e. only some people are good, chosen, worthy, strong, etc.), when any particular brand starts to talk about judgment and punishment, when the unity of consciousness is disregarded, when the deeper Truths of consciousness and divinity are subverted in order to justify power, privilege, exclusion, and control, and when the greater good of ALL is subverted so that a few may benefit over the many, then no the LP is not compatible with a particular brand of spirituality.

Well, if by mystery school you mean a place where you can go and learn all the esoteric spiritual “mysteries” of creation, then yes this is. Within the books and websites of the Lightning Path^TM you will find answers to virtually every spiritual question that you might have, and explanations and definitions for virtually every spiritual concept you may have come across in your travels. When you open the gate and step into the hallways of this mystery school you will learn everything from the nature of God and consciousness, through to the mechanics of creation of the physical universe out of the vibratory consciousness of Spirit, through to the purpose of your existence, the nature of your physical vessel, and how to properly care for, nurture, and develop your physical vehicle (your body) in order that it may become a suitable vessel for the powerful spiritual entity that you are. The Lightning Path provides answers to <em>all </em>the big spiritual questions that you might have.

However, if by mystery school you mean some secretive, often gender exclusive (i.e. boys only) that only lets some people in…

…and if mystery school you mean some  extremely expensive organization that only provides information to people who are worthy (typically defined as people who can afford the fees)…

…and if by mystery school you mean an organization that couches information in complication, misdirection, and maze like conceptual structures to hide the exclusionary, elitist, and even abusive nature of their ideas…

…and if by mystery school you mean an organization that panders to your ego to try to keep your emotions dependent and your cheque book open…

…and if by mystery you mean some illegal organization that encourages back room deals, nepotism, public fraud,  malfeance in the name of The Great Work, and so on…

Then no, this is not a mystery school.

</div>
<div>If your idea of authentic spiritual knowledge is secret Egyptian rituals, intonation in the caverns, complicated esoteric “truths,” and confusing and maze like structures, blood oaths to your brothers and profiteering through your lifetime, this is not the place for you. If however you are interested in grounded, straightforward, precise, logical, clear, and “appropriate for the modern world” explanations of spirituality, God, consciousness, the cosmos, and your place in it, explanations that lead you directly to your power and divinity, then be welcome and at be at home.</div>

To be perfectly honest, we do not call ourselves anything and would resist any and all attempts to pigeon hole us, box us in, or otherwise draw a boundary around who we are and what we do. In fact the name I chose to identify this spiritual system, The Lightning Path, is extremely difficult to use as a label. It sounds ridiculous to say that “I am a Lightning Pathist” or “I am a Lightning Pathian.” It just doesn’t role of the tongue.

Making it difficult to label was intentional. The problem is, as soon as you attach a label to someone (like “oh you are a Buddhist), you effectively control and limit that person. When you attach a label to someone they become easy to manage in your own brain, and easy to dismiss if you don’t like what they say (oh, I am not a Buddhist so I do not have to listen).  Labeling is all about control really, and since we don’t like that type of control, we don’t want to have a label attached to us.

And besides, the things I say on the Lightning Path, the concepts and ideas I write about in my books, apply to everyone no matter what particular label has been used to box you in and limit you. Christian, Buddhist, Atheist, Agnostic, Jew, Hindu, follower of Allah, deep down we are all the same. We all issue from the same source, we are all part of the same family of Spirit, we are all here working on the same thing,  and when we finally complete The Great Work we will all return to full consciousness and power together. So honestly, if we make any “I AM” statements at all we say it like the Mayan’s say it. We say In Lak’ech which literally means “I AM another you.”

If you find your time on the Lightning Path^TM enlightening, empowering, liberating, awakening, beneficial, and useful, and if you would like to engage in a little right action (i.e. energetic exchange), check out this “how can I help” page.  There’s a bunch of things you can do that range from a simple 15 minute book review on Amazon.com to a regular monthly subscription to help defray the rising costs of getting this information out.

If you have a spiritual or practical question that is not answered in one of the site FAQs, the SpiritWiki, or the public areas of the forum, then you can either:

I have received 2 sets of Halo/Sharp cards and other books this week. You know what, I place them on transparent frames in front of my desktop in the office. They charge me with energy by just looking at them. My root boils and other chakras spin. I now fully understand what you mean by sophistication of LP teaching. Different energies and vibes are embedded on the cards. How did you do it?

Basically I just cleared away all the muck and the mud and left a PURE CHANNEL to the entities and energies behind the cards. You might say I am this century’s “tarot janitor.”

If you look at the old tarot deck, the BEFORE HALO SHARP or BS decks (i.e. the ones that try and tell you what a foolish idiot you are), the channels are very corrupted and covered over. They send negative and controlling messages, but are also “powered down” with lots of conceptual and archetypal confusion (EPMO). Muddy and dirty basically. I just cleaned that up. If you take another look at the Halo/Sharp deck what you find are clean and pure channels to the archetypes behind the cards. They are so powerful because they are pure and unrestricted. They are also safe because they are pure with all garbage extracted and isolated. Have a look at The Book of the Triumph of Spirit and how it is organized (Book of Spirit, and then the extracted and isolated Book of Power and Book of Slavery) and you’ll see exactly what I am talking about.

Well, the short answer is, yes.

Of course.

In fact, there are two instances in which we can say that we are literally surrounded by aliens.

First of all, there are aliens all around us in invisible ships.

Think I’m kidding? Consider this. In 2004 a Mexican army fighter jet recorded several circular objects as they intelligently tracked the pilot’s flight path through the air. What is so startling about this is that the objects only showed up on infrared camera! To the naked eye, the objects were invisible!!

Just imagine, invisible objects could be right above your home right now, and you wouldn’t even know it.

Wow!!

Now, I’m not trying to freak you out. I know there’s nothing to be afraid of and besides, with technology that far in advance of ours, if they had evil intent, they wouldn’t need to ask permission for anything. Would they? Obviously, if they are here (and if they’ve been here since at least Roswell), they are here with good intent. Nothing to fear.

Second of all, there are aliens all around us inhabiting human bodies.

I know that to some people reading, this may seem like total nonsense, but that is only because you adopt two erroneous notions about identity and existence. Erroneous notion one is that your identity is determined by the body that you are born into. That is, you are cacausian, black, Chinese, or whatever. Erroneous notion two is that you live out your lifetime (or your lifetimes) in the same type of body. That is, you are born a human, you live a human, you die a human, and you (go to heaven or) are re-born a human.

Of course, neither of those notions are true. On the one hand, and although most of you reading this still draw identity from your body (i.e., you are female, American, Native, whatever), in fact you have a greater identity (your higher self) that participates in a greater consciousness that draws its identity from a much bigger reality than you are used to inhabiting (see my Book of Light) with your veiled consciousness. In that greater reality, being human occupies only a tiny fraction of your total corporeal (and non-corporeal) experience.

On the other hand, the human body is not the only vehicle model that we get to choose from. We are immortal spirit and we can live out a life in any kind of body we choose. You want to fly like an eagle or swim like a dolphin? Chances are you have. You believe you aren’t from this earth? Chances are you are not. Where are you originally from? Could be many places. With the lifting of The Veil (see my Book of the Triumph of Spirit) you’ll remember in short time. For now just think about what I’ve told you. Expand your mind a little bit and consider the possibility.

Are there aliens among us?

Well duh.

Of course!

The writing is on the wall, as they say.

Well, if by “channel” you mean to ask, “do I talk to dead people” or “do you channel alien lifeforms” then ya I do. I wouldn’t call it “channeling” though. From my perspective, “channeling” is something that a naive spiritual neophyte does when either:

1. they have an ego problem and have a need to look cool, or want to seem like they have special powers.
2. they have a responsibility problem and don’t want to be held accountable. This way if they get their information wrong, if somebody is hurt by it, then they can blame it on the dead people. “Well it wasn’t me that said that.” Ya right.
3. they simply aren’t at an intellectual or emotional level where they can understand the information and therefore have to provide verbatim transcripts
4. they are lazy and don’t want to put in the work necessary to translate the information
5. they draw the erroneous conclusion that dead people always and necessarily know more than live people. Call this the angel error if you want.*

What I do instead is connect to what I call The Fabric of Consciousness (see my Book of Light volume one for a definition). That is, I circumvent bodily restrictions on connecting with higher consciousness (restrictions that exist partly for survival purposes, and partly because they keep us spiritually impotent and easy to control) and connect with that part of us which is God and which provides the foundation and prime mobile of all creation (you’ll need to read my Book of Light to get what I’m saying here). Once connected, I then talk to whomever I want to (dead or alive, on this planet or not) about whatever I want (or need) to talk about. It is a conversation just like the kind of conversation you might have around a dinner table, except nobody except me is eating.

Sound crazy?

To some it does. If you are one of those materialists who believe that human existence is defined by the boundaries of your body, if you think consciousness is contained and caused by the quantum operations of the brain, if you think that all things emerge from some sort of foundational material reality, then ya it sounds crazy. Loopy even. I can just hear the scoffing skeptics patting themselves proudly on the back as they chuckle and raise a toast to the Lord High Richard Dawkins. But keep in mind that your materialist position is a minority position not shared by the majority of the people on this planet now, or in the past. The majority of people on this planet believe in things non-material so unless you want to sit there with self satisfied smugness and assume you know better than the six billion or so people alive now, and the billions that have come before, then really what can I say to you that you would listen to? You know better so let’s just leave it at that.

On the other hand, if you are not a materialist, if you don’t believe that existence is defined by the boundaries of the human body, if you think consciousness exists sui generis (i.e. in and of itself) and the body only provides a container, then talking with “dead people” (i.e. people without a container) doesn’t seem too strange at all. In fact, if you are on this side of the fence as I am (read my Book of Light: The Nature of God, the Structure of Consciousness, and the Universe Within You), then it’s the materialists who look maladjusted, misinformed, and just plain loopy. In fact, if you ask me, people who limit their existence to the confines of their physical body are a lot like boat captains who never get out of their boat because they don’t believe that anything else exists except their boat and the water that surrounds it. Silly-nillies, and badly misinformed.

In any case, I’d just like to close by saying that just because my research process includes consultation with certain dead people doesn’t mean the books that I write should be attributed to anybody but me. Mark Twain talked to a lot of people in his life but no matter how he may have been influenced by his conversations, when he put pen to paper, it was his words that he was writing.

Well…

…if by evil you mean some big bad ass with big horns and a big dick challenging “god the father” in some twisted battle for souls…

…if by evil you mean an intrinsic dark force that balances and intrinsic light force in some grand cosmic battle that ensures ongoing physical manifestation…

…if by evil you mean Satan…

…then no there is no such thing as evil.

Evil as defined by the priests, prophets, and pundits of this planet…

Evil as portrayed ad naseum in the Hollywood stories…

Evil as a “choice…”

Evil as a “thing…”

Evil as an “entity…”

…does not exist.

Of course, assholes exist.

People who hurt others for greed and profit exist…

People who spray food with toxic chemicals exist…

Corporate and government thieves who steal trillions for the poor to line the pockets of the already uber rich exist…

People who hurt babies…

People who beat the weak…

People who rape children…

These people exist, but they are not evil. They are simply damaged by the shit, abuse, and indoctrination that they have experienced as part of their socialization within The System. With a fundamental change in the economic and political realities of this planet, and with enough time and resources, these people (really people like you and I) can be healed and we can return to the loving embrace of consciousness and spirit. All that is required is a fundamental change in our priorities and the redirection of resources from death and destruction to life and creation.

Your purpose is outlined in detail in my Book of Light series, and also in The Book of Life.  To summarize here…

If you were born on any other planet in the universe, or in any other universe in existence, I’d have to say that your purpose is to play and have fun. However, since you were born on this planet I have to say that your purpose is a bit different. Since you were born on this planet I’d have to say that you share the same purpose with everyone else on this planet which is to build a new and better playground so that we, and by “we” I mean all monadic intensifications, can have more fun.

You are here, in other words, to help complete The Great Work

Now, if you were looking for some cockamamie nonsense about being born to learn, pay of karma, evolve, grow, redeem yourself, or whatever…

If you were looking for me to say that <em>this world </em>is some kind of school or prison…

…sorry to disappoint.

School and all that attends it (i.e. tests, competition, graduation, reward) is what the business leaders of the Industrial Revolution created to get the people working (and often dying) in the mines and factories of the Industrial Revolution.

Prison is what the politicians and lawmakers who serve the business leaders put you in when you absolutely refuse to follow along with their rules.

Redemption, evolution, karma, and all ideas like that are all part of a system of thought control and behaviour control that keeps you compliant and accepting.

Now break the chains that bind you, return to full consciousness, and help us complete The Great Work.

After all, it is what you came here to do.

Creation is consciousness and therefore creation is an idea (albeit a complex and collectively generated idea) within the mindful hallways of consciousness.

The nature of creation can be summed up with the following equation, taken from volume two of my Book of Light.

Creation=>consciousness=>light=>energy=>matter

or if you prefer

God=>light=>energy=>matter

The nature of creation, its origin and purpose, its physical constitution, and rules of operation, are outlined in my multi-volume Book of Light.

Well, God is consciousness and so the real question is what is the nature of consciousness? And that’s easy. As outlined in my Book of Light, consciousness is awareness, pure and simple.

Now, this might not sound like much to you at this point. What is “awareness” after all but just you walking around in your normal world. But that is because your idea of what awareness is, is conditioned entirely by the normal consciousness of a damaged physical body. And honestly, the candle-light normal consciousness of your damaged physical body is nothing like sun-light power and divinity of consciousness unencumbered.

If you want to know more about the the nature of consciousness unencumbered by the limitations of the physical unit, read my Book of Light.

When you die, when your physical unit can no longer function, and/or when your consciousness is no longer able (or willing) to maintain a connection, your consciousness leaves your body, your brain activity ceases, and your body’s cells (which can no longer maintain their coherence with the absence of consciousness) begin to fall apart.

After consciousness leaves your body, you are free to do and go wherever you want. Nobody stands in judgment of you, no “karmic law” or “panel of judges” determines your subsequent “placement,” and the “vibratory level you attained while in body” is absolutely irrelevant. When you die you can do whatever you want. You may, for example, immediately go stand in an “incarnation lineup” and await the opportunity to reincarnate in a body when one becomes available. Choosing to reincarnate you may reincarnate here, on another planet, or in another universe within the grand and glorious transuniverse. You may also take a break and remain without a physical body (i.e. in spirit) for as long as you desire and you may even offer to stay close and guide those who you have left behind.

It really just depends on what you want to do.

When you die, all possibilities are re-opened for you.

I Just stumbled upon your website today and am finding it interesting.  I have been on the path since 1975 and from everything I am in touch with as of today, everything points to 2012 as being pivotal.  Even in your download book you have this: “We should be done “the dirty work” by 2012, at which time the magic’ should become quite obvious to anybody who isn’t totally comatose.” But I also read your “Ode to 2012″ and see you are against that date as being meaningful. Please let me know what your opinion is on the infamous date.  I myself believe we are on a path heading toward full consciousness and going though the galactic alignment and photon belt.  The 2012 timing will profoundly give us a quantum leap and make a real difference in our experience.

I have always said that 2012 is a balance or tipping point. 2012 is the year that the “new energies” out weigh the old energies. Does this mean magical transformation? Not necessarily. It just means that we’re “over the hump.” It is like the ride up the first hill of a roller coaster. The year 2012 is the year that we reach the top. Does that mean the ride is over? Hardly. It means in fact it is just starting and I’ll tell you now, it won’t all be good, especially for those still struggling to stay in the old energies, and especially for those who get innocently caught up in the death throes of the old world. All those still floundering in the old energies are going to have a hard time of it, there is going to be a lot of conscious and unconscious resistance, and more and more people are going to “explode” (emotionally, psychologically, metaphorically, and physically) as the old energies take their last and final stab at staying present in this reality. There is no chance they will remain, however, and any resistance and violence is doomed to failure. That doesn’t mean, however, those stuck in the old energies aren’t going to try. There is a lot of fear, a lot of anger, a lot of greed, and a lot of power mongering still happening and it appears at this time that the people caught in those energies are willing to go down with the old energy ship rather than take the first hard steps towards rejoining the family of spirit. Oh well, it is not like they haven’t been warned, repeatedly, to wake up and move forward.

Of course, it doesn’t need to be this way, and a lot depends frankly on what people like you do in the next few years. If you are reading these words you need to step up and help with the transition. Get your own house in order, do your own awakening and empowerment work, and then help anybody you can to awaken, empower, and ascend.  Check out the expanding lightworker section of this website for ideas on how to get involved, or simply use social media to help spread the world.

Do it often and do it for the foreseeable future. Do it as many times during the day as you can remember. Once you memorize it, the visualization is very quick, just a few seconds really. Just visualize the chakras open and pumping energy, and visualize pulses of light expanding away from your body to envelop the globe (see this Great Invocation Visual). The more you do this, the faster things will manifest. My only advice here is, pay attention. People often miss the connection between their efforts to activate their chakras, and the “stuff” that begins to happen in their life. If things start to happen, good or bad, make the connection. This is important because you need to make that connection to be able to control how fast or slow things move for you. If things get a little hectic, lay of the GI for a while.

The breathing exercises are mostly for when you panic, get scared, get confused, or otherwise destabilize. I know it might sound unlikely, but it can happen sometimes, especially when you start to tap into higher levels of consciousness. Fear, indoctrination, misconception, even ego-damage can be triggered by the activation of the chakras, and it can be overwhelming. Breathing helps ground and stabilize, and helps you maintain control in those situations where you may be feeling a bit overwhelmed. So to answer your question, when you think deep breathing has become a patterned and automatic response to stress, then you can stop the practice. The goal is simply to program your body to use deep breathing to deal with anxiety and stress.

In what sequence should I visualize the chakras activation? From crown to root, for from root to crown?

If you do the Great Invocation, then it doesn’t really matter because you are activating all the chakras pretty much simultaneously. However the chakras themselves will open typically from crown (least dense) to root (most dense). Because the crown chakra is the least dense, it is the one that activates first. Incidentally, pathological crown activation is what most people equate with negative kundalini activation. That is, when people have psychological and emotional difficulties with awakening and empowerment, it is NOT because they weren’t prepared for kundalini activation, but because they weren’t prepared for crown activation.

You wrote: Visualize the total illumination of ‘your own life’ as the brilliant light of creation bursts through your energy system…..Question: what do you mean by illumination of ‘your own life? Sorry, it’s a bit abstract for me.

I just mean visualize the light from your own body spreading out into your life and then the world around you. Pretty much like a fast camera view of a morning sunrise. First it is dark and then light gradually encompasses your reality. Only in this case, you are the source of the light. Once again the GI animation may be able to help in this regard.

Notice how the light that you generate from your own awakening and empowerment spreads out into the world around you? That’s the idea. You’re light impacts all those around you.

Another view of this idea is provided by the Halo/Sharp card, POWER, though in this case I am referring more to the impact of activation on those who resist their own awakening. The activation of individuals has a profound impact on the reality around them.

I recently completed the LP Core lessons. Its great stuff.I read the Great Awakening, its amazing.If you don’t mind me asking, where did you get the information from? There seem to be elements of neo-Platonism (which I’m not really super familiar with), Freemasonry and other stuff.I’ve been a dabbler for a longtime but I haven’t fully explored this. Your book puts in together.

Well the answer to this is easy or hard depending on how open you are to the idea that we exist beyond the body. If you are open to the idea that we exist beyond our limited physical body, then the answer to that is, I get all this information from me and the people I talk to “on the other side.” If there is something I need to know, or something I want to understand, then I ask a question, get into a receptive state, and basically wait for the information to flow. This is a major over-simplification. It is a bit more complicated than this, especially when the goal is the truth and nothing but. But in essence that’s what it is.  I connect to The Fabric and let the information flow. If you’re not open to the idea that we exist beyond the body, then the answer gets very difficult because I have no background in Freemasonry, have read no more than a page from any of the notable philosophers of this planet (platonic or otherwise), and so on. In fact, I haven’t ever really got very deep into anything spiritual, religious, or philosophical, ever.  I have read bits and pieces of this and that, here and there, but nothing that would give me the kind of expertise demonstrated in my writings.

Are you a Christian? Are these Christian teachings?

Well, I was born a Christian. I went to a Christian cathedral, had a Christian family, spent time as an altar boy, and listened to the Sunday sermons. So ya, in that sense, I am. I’m pretty much that, and if you look you’ll see the heavy influence of Christianity in the metaphors I use in my writing.

That being said I should not that I am not a “follower” of Christianity. While I believe that there is deep spiritual truth buried in the depth of Christian dogma, there is also much untruth and even outright lie. I believe this is the case with all current spiritual or religious pathways. All dogma, all old world spiritual teaching, all esoteric “revelation” is a combination of hidden spiritual truth, overt lie, and intentional deceptions. The whole thing is a ridiculously over complex conglomeration of truth, mistruth, lie, and misdirection.

Personally, I consider myself a bit of a sludge monkey. I dig around in the astral mud of our collective consciousness to find the gems of spiritual truth slopped on and hidden by the power brokers of this planet. When I find a gem, I wash it off, and present it in pure, clean, and unadulterated form. The goal is to reflect (in a modern, updated, and easy to understand form!) the capital “T” truths of our common spiritual heritage.

In the end you will find the Lightning Path very eclectic, but highly critical. I have no trouble telling you when I think a particular teaching, whether it is Christian, Buddhist, Taoist, or whatever, is a mucky pile of dodo. At the same time I also have no trouble pulling in the spiritual gems from all the religion doctrines of this world as I find them. Respect where respect is due, clean up and correction if necessary!

Are you a Buddhist? Are these Buddhist teachings?

Well, I was not born a Buddhist, but I have read extensively on all the major world religions, and I do borrow freely, so in a sense I am.If you look you will see the influence of Buddhism in some of the metaphors and ideas I use in my writing.

That being said I should not that I am not a “follower” of Buddha. While I believe that there is deep spiritual truth buried in the depth of Buddhist dogma, there is also much untruth and even outright lie. I believe this is the case with all current spiritual or religious pathways. All dogma, all old world spiritual teaching, all esoteric “revelation” is a combination of hidden spiritual truth, overt lie, and intentional deceptions.

I Just stumbled upon your website today and am finding it interesting.  I have been on the path since 1975 and from everything I am in touch with as of today, everything points to 2012 as being pivotal.  Even in your download book you have this: “We should be done “the dirty work” by 2012, at which time the magic’ should become quite obvious to anybody who isn’t totally comatose.” But I also read your “Ode to 2012″ and see you are against that date as being meaningful. Please let me know what your opinion is on the infamous date.  I myself believe we are on a path heading toward full consciousness and going though the galactic alignment and photon belt.  The 2012 timing will profoundly give us a quantum leap and make a real difference in our experience.

I have always said that 2012 is a balance or tipping point. 2012 is the year that the “new energies” out weigh the old energies. Does this mean magical transformation? Not necessarily. It just means that we’re “over the hump.” It is like the ride up the first hill of a roller coaster. The year 2012 is the year that we reach the top. Does that mean the ride is over? Hardly. It means in fact it is just starting and I’ll tell you now, it won’t all be good, especially for those still struggling to stay in the old energies, and especially for those who get innocently caught up in the death throes of the old world. All those still floundering in the old energies are going to have a hard time of it, there is going to be a lot of conscious and unconscious resistance, and more and more people are going to “explode” (emotionally, psychologically, metaphorically, and physically) as the old energies take their last and final stab at staying present in this reality. There is no chance they will remain, however, and any resistance and violence is doomed to failure. That doesn’t mean, however, those stuck in the old energies aren’t going to try. There is a lot of fear, a lot of anger, a lot of greed, and a lot of power mongering still happening and it appears at this time that the people caught in those energies are willing to go down with the old energy ship rather than take the first hard steps towards rejoining the family of spirit. Oh well, it is not like they haven’t been warned, repeatedly, to wake up and move forward.

Of course, it doesn’t need to be this way, and a lot depends frankly on what people like you do in the next few years. If you are reading these words you need to step up and help with the transition. Get your own house in order, do your own awakening and empowerment work, and then help anybody you can to awaken, empower, and ascend.  Check out the expanding lightworker section of this website for ideas on how to get involved, or simply use social media to help spread the world.
