The different levels of this awareness range from a bright state of crystal-clarity, to almost no awareness at all, such that one perceives only darkness, separation and disharmony in every area of life. Those with a clear, bright awareness of the essential unity, harmony and oneness have access to the all-pervasive field of intelligent consciousness that extends far beyond the limits of the physical human body, brain and nervous system; providing them with great insight, foresight, inspiration, and depth and breadth of understanding. To personally experience this and to share it with others has a tremendous capacity for transforming every aspect of human life; spiritual, social, and material.

The world looks very different as perceived through the lens of each different level of spiritual consciousness. Most people perceive themselves and the world around them from the level of spiritual consciousness at which they currently are. Only a small percentage of people can perceive and understand across the whole spectrum of consciousness. Based on one’s level of spiritual consciousness, one makes entirely different interpretations of events, perceives entirely different opportunities, makes entirely different choices and takes entirely different actions than one would if one were perceiving life from a different level of spiritual consciousness.

People tend to group together with those who are at a similar level of consciousness and therefore they see the world the same way as others who are in the same group and at the same level. There is also an overall level of human consciousness, which is the composite collective consciousness of all human beings. This composite collective consciousness is far higher than the level of those with the lowest levels of consciousness and is far lower than the individuals with the highest levels of consciousness.

For much of human history, the composite collective level of consciousness of humanity has been at a relatively low level, leading to choices and actions that have resulted in experiences of conflict, scarcity, and suffering. All of human consciousness is connected, so that when even one person, such as Christ or the Buddha, expresses a much higher level of spiritual consciousness than the collective, this has a powerful influence upon the whole of humanity. The powerful influence of such a person ripples forth over the course of time, across many generations, gradually raising the spiritual consciousness of the collective. So how much greater, brighter, and swifter might the transformation be if there were hundreds, thousands, or millions of people of very high spiritual consciousness upon the Earth at the same time?

To anyone who is aware of history, it is clear that the composite level of human spiritual consciousness has increased from where it was 2000 years ago. It is also clear that it has increased relatively rapidly in the last 200 years, even more in the past 50 years, and is increasing even more rapidly right now. Laws against slavery, the right for women to vote, the fall of the Berlin wall and the collapse of the Soviet Union; growing emphasis regarding civil rights, women’s rights, children’s rights, workers rights, and human rights; the election of the first Afro-American President of the Unites States; and the collapse of oppressive dictatorships throughout the Middle East are a few examples that much transformation has taken place.

Yoga and meditation centers are plentiful and have become generally accepted in western culture. Much transformation is taking place at this very moment. Who would have imagined 50 years ago that there would be people such as Wayne Dyer, Deepak Chopra, Michael Beckwith, David Hawkins, Byron Katie, Marianne Williamson and many others teaching and modeling how to live life at a higher level? Who would have imagined 50 years ago that a rich, powerful, insightful woman of high spiritual consciousness (Oprah Winfrey) would fund the broadcast of a series of interviews with a spiritual teacher (Eckhart Tolle), to millions over the internet, for the purpose of communicating knowledge about enlightenment far and wide?

Due to modern media and the internet, the highest spiritual teachings are available and rippling forth to a far greater degree than ever before. The number of awakened spiritual teachers on the planet is growing at a rapid pace. They are illuminating others. As a result, the number of people experiencing great transformations of consciousness is greatly increasing. As individuals experience transformation, many of them are stepping forth and living their lives at a very high level of spiritual consciousness. More and more people are turning away from traditional religion, in search of a broader more inclusive experience of spirituality.

It may be that the sheer volume of spiritual knowledge has reached a critical threshold and is naturally bringing humanity into a great awakening. Some may say that angels and ascended masters are transmitting great spiritual energy to humanity at this point in time or that human consciousness is shifting due to the alignment of the stars. Others may say that many highly developed spiritual beings have chosen to incarnate upon the Earth at this point in time for the purpose of bringing about a great transformation. Whatever the effective factors are, it is clear that a great transformation is taking place and that the spiritual consciousness of the whole of humanity is going higher. The rate of acceleration is so rapid that it appears to be moving on an exponential curve, with the potential to soon be shooting nearly straight up.

As the level of human consciousness rises, it will be reflected in changes in every aspect of human life and endeavor. Business, economic, and financial patterns will transform, along with government, law, agriculture, industry, manufacturing, energy, human health and medicine. It will also express outwardly through great changes in basic beliefs, and patterns of cultural interaction, religion and spirituality, education, and child-rearing. The degree of transformation will not be small in any of these areas, but will be measured in orders of magnitude, comparable to the degree of shift that took place over the last 200 years, with the discovery of how to use electrical energy (for light, heat, refrigeration, power tools and appliances, electronic communications and computing) and also comparable to the degree of shift that took place in almost every area of human endeavor over the last 50 years with the advent of computers and microchip technology. The ascension of human consciousness will result in a great transformation in all areas of human life within the next 5 – 10 years, followed by changes of even greater scale in the next 25 years. Much transformation that is pivotal and seminal to the future good of humanity will take place in the next 2 - 3 years.

As this manifests, there will be great opportunities for people with a high level of spiritual consciousness to step forward as leaders and innovators, to bring transformation into the many different facets of our society. They will radiate divine love, insight, guidance, and power into all of life’s endeavors and this will greatly change all of human experience. There will be a much greater openness, awareness and honoring of the spiritual in every aspect of human activity. This increased awareness of the spiritual will not be an increase of religion, religiosity, or religious belief, traditions, rituals, institutions or authorities into secular life. (There is a vast difference between religion/religiosity and that which is spiritual). The spirituality of which we speak is simply a greatly increased openness to the awareness of the all encompassing spiritual dimensions in every aspect of life. It includes a keen awareness that what conventional human consciousness perceives as the physical/secular world is not separate from the spiritual dimensions, but that all life, physical being and consciousness is an intrinsic and inseparable aspect and out-flowing expression of the spiritual.

Merely standing back and allowing those of lesser consciousness to attempt to shape a new humanity in their image is not an acceptable option. Humanity has already experienced having leaders who are at lower levels of consciousness and has found it not to be beneficial, harmonious, or effective. Much of what is disharmonious in the current world order stems from the insane and false belief that some human activities can and should be treated as standing on their own, separate from spiritual awareness. To move beyond duality; to achieve “unity consciousness,” requires bringing awareness of the spiritual into every area of life. To accomplish this, requires not hiding or suppressing spiritual insights, but a free and open expression of the spiritual in every area of life.

For fullest transformation to take place, it is necessary for those of high spiritual consciousness to fully speak their truth and step forward in creative manifestation of that which they envision and of which they speak. It is necessary for them to model in their actions that which they envision and speak. It is the active modeling of new forms of interactions, structures, processes and relationships that will show the rest of humanity the value and validity of what we envision and speak.

The primary hallmark of the new age, which we are entering, will be a state of unity consciousness where a significant percentage of human beings (far more than now) are continuously aware of the divine nature of themselves and others and of the all embracing, overarching and underlying UNITY and ONENESS of all that exists. A large percentage of people will be operating at the level of LOVE. Many will be operating at the level of UNCONDITIONAL LOVE. A growing percentage of people will be operating at the level of UNITY CONSCIOUSNESS and even at higher levels of ENLIGHTENMENT CONSCIOUSNESS. Some people will experience these states as occasional glimmers of awareness. Some will move in and out of these states for various periods of time. Others will live in these states more or less continuously. Over the course of time, the level of consciousness will continue to rise, more and more people will be living their lives at the higher levels and the consciousness of collective will continue to go higher.

Another major hallmark of this new age will be a much fuller and richer awareness of the energetic and vibrational nature of all that is. Far more people than at present will possess expanded capabilities of insight, intuition, connectedness, and supersensory capacities. They will have a major impact on society by sharing their insights and extraordinary abilities with those around them. A far larger percentage of the human population than now will be at a level of consciousness that will enable them to work closely, harmoniously and cooperatively together (having far less of the impediments of rigid belief structures, ego-based fear, and competition), in a far more cohesive and unified manner than ever before. This will have a major impact, bringing greater peace on Earth. All of these together, will manifest in a new world, aligned with Divinity, where focused intention will ever more swiftly and easily manifest into the good that is envisioned and desired.

This message is a call to those who are at a higher level of consciousness to standup and join together; declaring and dedicating themselves in unity of heart and mind and action, to be of service to Divinity and to the ascension of human consciousness at this crucial point in the transformation of humanity. It is essential that we come together with high intention sharing our visions, joining in prioritizing, organizing, giving of our special resources and abilities and actively moving ahead in unity, leading the way for the rest of humanity. This is the time to let go of anything that would hold one back or that would prevent unity, and to press ahead to meet the high calling that we have received. This is why we are here on the Earth at this time.

People are tired of the old order (which is currently crumbling, due to its many inherent flaws), and are actively seeking for something new. This is the time for shedding and dismantling old dysfunctional forms and patterns and for creating new forms and patterns that are congruent with a higher state of consciousness. For this to occur sooner, rather than later, it is essential that we as light-workers, healers, mystics, seers, and spiritual teachers; those with professional business skills, those with monetary resources, and those with the abilities to communicate, organize, implement and execute, come together to share our visions, our priorities, our talents, our resources, and our dedicated actions with others of similar consciousness, and from there, share it with the whole of humanity. If it does not emerge from within us, from where will it come? Who else is better suited to teach and model new paradigms in this world?

In this new era, it will be understood that commerce and industry are not for the enrichment of a few top decision-makers, at the expense of the biosphere and the rest of humanity, but that the benefit and well-being of all, including the investors, managers, employees, customers, the wider society and the biosphere must be considered and honored. New structures must be put in place so that those with a hard-driving, aggressive, over-reaching nature will no longer be rewarded for the havoc and stress they create in their pursuit of wealth and personal power over others, and so that those with a more cooperative team-based attitude, who show evidence of being concerned for the greater good of all, will be rewarded with greater leadership opportunities. Emphasis must be placed on achieving and rewarding success in achieving long term gains that lead to great long-term benefit, instead of rewarding short-sighted gains that eventually self-destruct. It will be a high priority to develop work environments and processes that are designed to be conducive to the health and well-being of the employees and that place a high degree of emphasis on cooperation and the minimization of factors that lead to stress.

This does not mean that insight, enterprise and innovation should not be rewarded. Nor, is it intended to foster beliefs in scarcity or lack of abundance, which fail to understand the infinite nature of life. It merely means that just as good accounting practices are a necessary part of every business, that the concern for ethics, the good of humanity and all living things, and awareness of the spiritual aspects of life must also be a necessary part of every business and every other type of organization, and that this must be implemented in a manner that goes far beyond mere lip-service.

In this new era, there will be a greater awareness of the necessity for children to grow in ethical and spiritual awareness, just as much as we are currently concerned that they learn to read, write and do arithmetic. Many creative steps will be taken to nurture spiritual awareness in children. There will also be a greater awareness of the necessity of fully considering the spiritual and ethical aspects of life in law and government. Law-makers will seek out those who have great spiritual and ethical insight and continually invite and consider their insights as new laws are developed and implemented. Likewise, those who are spiritual will not stand still waiting to be asked, but will step forward and offer constructive plans and ideas and find ways to model them for the broader society. Science and business enterprises will seek people of great spiritual insight and especially those with special gifts for seeing across multiple dimensions, and will take their inputs into account, with the growing realization that the physical world is not separate from the spiritual dimensions and that physical matter, energy and consciousness are not separate, but part of a continuum. This will come to pass to the extent that spiritual people lift such a vision to the world and hold it high, and work continuously to demonstrate, model and implement the various aspects of it, until it becomes an integral part of all aspects of business and society.

A number of very powerful factors are converging to enable this great transformation. Some of them are what we might loosely call technical and others are what could be termed spiritual. Modern communications media are extremely powerful, enabling new ideas to pass into and permeate the collective consciousness very swiftly. We have seen how this has worked in the peaceful social uprisings in Egypt and Tunisia. On the spiritual front, using the media, powerful spiritual teachers, teachings and spiritual practices are swiftly reaching out and touching and transforming millions of people.

Powerfully effective psychological and spiritual self-help practices, tools and techniques, such as “Emotional Freedom Technique,” Byron Katie’s “The Work,” and many other forms of highly effective self-improvement (including various meditation practices) are currently having a very transformative influence on millions of people, helping them release negative emotions and limiting and dysfunctional beliefs. They are playing a major role in the level of spiritual consciousness of a great number of people being raised at a more rapid rate than at any other time in human history.

Another tool that is exceptionally useful is the Spreadsheet of Consciousness, included herein. The Spreadsheet of Consciousness is like a GPS or road map for the spiritual traveler. It shows you the different levels of consciousness, gives you information about where you are, where to go next, and what you might want to avoid. Consider for a moment driving on a long journey without a map or GPS, compared to having a map or GPS. It takes much longer to arrive if you don’t have a clear idea of exactly where you are, where you are going, what’s just ahead, and how to get there. Being able to refer to the Spreadsheet of Consciousness is a great help.

The Spreadsheet of Consciousness has the capacity to help one tune to the higher spiritual levels, when one contemplates it for a few minutes. When the Spreadsheet of Consciousness is on the wall at home, school, or work it has a transforming effect, reminding everyone of their full potential and lifting their interactions to higher levels. If they temporarily drop to a lower level, its very presence helps them move back up to a higher level much more quickly. If widely used, it has a great capacity to assist in the transformation of human spiritual consciousness. The Spreadsheet of Consciousness has gone through multiple major revisions and expansions by multiple people. It was inspired by the notable work of Dr David Hawkins, whose Map of Consciousness is found in the book Power vs. Force.

Consciousness itself is a very important factor and powerful tool. Just being conscious of something (if the level of consciousness of the observer is at a very high level) can change or shift that which it touches, resulting in great transformation. As people’s levels of consciousness go higher, they become more aware of this tool and start to use it. At the higher levels of consciousness, insights, special gifts and abilities, unity of vision and action, and awareness of connection with the vast field of higher mind or intelligence come into play.

The energy field of those who are at a very high level of consciousness has a significant impact on everything around them. This completely shifts and transforms everything. It does not require everyone to become spiritual for the tipping-point to be reached. All of the above factors are so powerful that the tipping point for achieving the new world order will be reached long before most of humanity is fully aware that it has been reached.

In addition to all of the above, and arising from them, is a very powerful factor that deserves special attention. It is the capacity for new paradigms to be put into action, which will result in “order of magnitude changes and improvements” in various areas of human life and endeavor, transforming whole areas of business, culture and society and then rippling out further to transform other areas of human life and endeavor; just as the use of electricity has transformed almost every aspect of human life. Imagine what it would be like if not just one major order of magnitude improvement took place, but many order of magnitude transformations took place, perhaps 20 to a 100. That would most certainly change the world!

Many spiritual people have a great desire to be of great service and achieve great good in the world. They would willingly participate in projects designed to accomplish enormous benefit to humanity. Right now, there are those with great vision, who do not have the monetary resources to carry out their visions and ideas. There are those with great spiritual gifts, who are seeking ways to bring those gifts to those around them on a larger scale, but do not have the organizational structures that would support offering their gifts on a larger scale. There are those with great resources, who would love to invest in something that would be of great benefit to humanity, but are not aware that there are very high potential opportunities into which to invest. Likewise, there are those with great administrative, communications, technical and professional skills, who would delight in the opportunity to implement something that would truly uplift humanity. Achieving success, requires partnering with others to bring together all of the necessary facets required for success. For this to take place, there must be ways for individuals to come together to make known what they bring and to discover how what they offer can best fit with what others bring.

So, how does one find out what the new visions, ideas and paradigms are? How does one find out about high potential opportunities for bringing orders of magnitude benefit to humanity? How does one find the necessary combination of people and resources with which to join? How do teams of people identify high potential endeavors and begin implementing them?

To achieve the above, there must be forums for:
1. sharing visions, ideas, and paradigms;
2. identifying the opportunities and approaches that appear to have the greatest potential for providing great benefit to humanity;
3. enabling those with insight, talents, skills, funds and other resources to discover each other;
4. planning, developing and initiating the new projects, programs and enterprises that will bring orders of magnitude change (some of which will be done in phases, starting with things like research and small scale-proof of concept initiatives, which if effective would be followed be endeavors on a much larger scale).

To implement the required forums requires people who will own the vision, raise it high, and take action to bring those forums to the world. To accomplish this requires an initial organization, comprised of a few dedicated people with the vision, skills and funds to implement the forums. This new organization, intentionally birthed for the purpose of bringing people, visions, talents and resources together, is an example of the implementation of a new paradigm, with the potential to bring about a great transformation in the level of human spiritual consciousness, which will then lead to orders of transformation in many other aspects of human life and experience.

It is not that transformation will not happen anyway, but that if many people are in conscious cooperation and participation, as transformation is taking place, a fuller potential may be reached more quickly, smoothly, and harmoniously than if there is little or no conscious participation. One way to look at it is that often, to accomplish certain goals, it helps if everyone throws their weight in the same direction at the same time, with great synergy and harmony of action and intent. Another way to look at it is that when a great wave is rising, the experienced surfers are keenly aware of it and position themselves to ride it to the shore. If one is not aware and poised, the quality of the experience will be far different than if one is fully ready and taking action as the wave rises.

The remainder of this document identifies the “order of magnitude paradigms, opportunities and endeavors” that appear most fruitful for those of higher spiritual consciousness to come together to achieve. It also identifies important insights and practices that will enable the new opportunities to be achieved synergistically, harmoniously, swiftly and effectively.

This is merely the introduction. Many additional pages have already been written, expressing specific paradigms and high potential opportunities and pointing out those things that would enable their accomplishment. Your interest and participation is welcome.
