Navigating Our Shift in Consciousness
As the late futurist, author, and public speaker Barbara Marx Hubbard has said, “There is a new world and a new humanity struggling to be born. Homo Sapiens are giving birth to Homo Universalis (universal human).” Homo Universalis being “a higher conception of humanity that co-evolves with nature, co-exists with high tech genius, co-creates with spirit, and leads with love.”
The New York astrologer Bill Attride reminds us that if you feel that the time we are in signifies “the end of an Age” – that’s because it is!
Mirroring Barbara, in his forecast for 2019, he stated:
“A new world is coming… much of our social, economic and political structures will be reformed/transformed into new modes of expression, and they will certainly be informed by new ideas (or old ideas renewed) and meanings.
This end is a beginning and it requires and calls out for Preservers, Protectors, Transformers, and Healers. Your duty, as always is to Master yourself and then to help others towards their self-mastery too.”
From Bill Attride’s Blog:
As I’ve been noting since 2008, we are going through a very specific period (that continues until 2024), [when] the Planet Pluto is moving through the sign of Capricorn, the sign in ‘mundane’ or Worldly Astrology that governs Institutions.
Pluto, ruling the Will, and the processes of Alchemy and Spiritual Chemistry, also represents the processes of Birth, Death, and Re-Birth.
It’s time to shift our way of thinking
First mentioned in metaphysical teachings and now being felt by contemporary philosophers, scientists, and mystics across the globe, there is a hugely profound event happening, right now, within the psyche of humankind.
To put it simply, our collective mind that houses the cauldron of thoughts, beliefs, feelings, emotions, and sensations that make up our perception is undergoing an evolutionary restructuring of its foundational suppositions.
Humankind, as a species, is at a significant point in its evolutionary development. Like the small child, we are moving our attention away from our physical senses that tell of our existence, to the nonphysical, immeasurable, inner senses that engineer our existence. We are expanding our awareness of what is possible for a fuller, more complete rendition of the spiritual being having a physical experience Teilhard De Chardin once alluded to.
Those in power have utilized fear, the predominant state of being for our ego-self, to deny us access to the wonders of our spiritual world—where Divine Love is the prevailing state of being for our Essence Self.
This self-imposed separation from Essence, our spiritual Self, for so long, is the fundamental psychological reason that creates the current turmoil we are experiencing in the Western world.
Spirituality is making a comeback
The good news is that our multidimensional, multifaceted Essence Selves are forcing their way back into our awareness. They’ve had enough! They’ve stood quietly and patiently aside as our adolescent ego-selves have run riot with the principle of free will. In so doing, we’ve discovered that an ego-self that excludes the inner spiritual self’s guidance on how best to exercise our free will, can lead us into an abyss of despair.
Slowly but surely, through the subtleties of intuition and the inner senses, our Essence selves are making their presence felt as they strive to gain our ego-self’s attention and bring our collective mind back into a more balanced and broader level of perception.
Our collective mind, restricted for so long by the ego-self’s faith in an intellect wooed by left-brain, analytical, logical, reductionist thinking, is shifting its focus of awareness away from solely “masculine” oriented ways of perceiving our being-ness. We are beginning to re-embrace our “feminine” faculties of awareness into our conscious reckoning. We’re inviting the energies of the “Divine Feminine,” along with our inner senses, back into the art of balancing a purer, more refined sense of perception.

In summary
We are currently navigating a truly evolutionary shift in the very nature of human consciousness and how that consciousness is expressed in the physical world.
What, you may ask, has all of this got to do with me?
Well… Our shift in consciousness needs you!
Changing our shared reality begins with the individual. We can only effect a change at a personal level—within our own Self. We must each be an example for others.
We each need to look deeply into the areas of our lives that we are not happy with, examine our beliefs, and dissipate the energy behind any that standout as problematic. This isn’t as easy as it reads.
Many problematic beliefs are protected or disguised by our ego-selves as “truths,” which are rarely open to change. With help, these can be uncovered, examined for their appropriateness, and addressed if necessary. Essentially, this is addressing the shadow elements within our psyche.
This is an on-going process for us all and is one that will become part of our behavioral habits post-shift. It will become part of the process, part of the work, of being a post-shift individualized expression of human consciousness.
Once a problematic belief has been uncovered and addressed, their energy can then be given over to those thoughts and beliefs that excite your passions. Your passions are to do with the true intent and purpose of your life. By constantly monitoring and addressing to your beliefs you will be better able to live your purpose and enjoy a more fulfilling life.
It may take some time, but this process will change your perception of reality and thus the reality that you attract to yourself.
The Astrologer Bill Attride puts it this way:
As you become more aware of who and what you are, as you realize and reveal the distinctiveness of you, what is your Quintessence (or what is know as your “Swabhava,” or essence of you), as you do this you move into ever more truer forms of being, creating, leading, and loving. You become what you are, you are “THAT,” and by this you bring out the best in you and those who are with you, and they become inspired by your example to be their better selves too.

We end this page with some wise words:
Our job is to love others without stopping to inquire whether or not they are worthy. That is not our business and, in fact, it is nobody’s business.
What we are asked to do is to love, and this love itself will render both ourselves and our neighbors worthy.
Thomas Merton
If one completes the journey to one’s own heart, one will find oneself in the heart of everyone else.
Father Thomas Keating
If you want to make God laugh, tell him your plans.
