We're all shamans at heart. What compels us is the intrigue of the moment, the curiosity of the cat, the mysticism of the crow. Take a look at technology & social media (can you avoid it?!), it's continually presenting the quick fix titillation. Yet it's prescribed and bloated, like some ravenous predator, voraciously consuming consciousness. It works because it preys on the mystic in all of us. But there is a way of becoming the Modern Day Shaman nevertheless. It's going to require us to become exceptionally attentive, acute to the subtlety of the flow. Because even here, in the desert of the real, there's always the nuance of the divine to discern.

When people reach the end of their lives and look back, it's not the things they did do that they regret. It's the things they didn't. You have a dream in your heart, that wasn't realised, or a gift or a skill that wasn't fully explored. That's the real tragedy. Right now humanity is as a ship, sailing into tumultuous seas. It's not in this kind of energy that you sit back and dither. It calls for positive action, expression of being, excitement and adventure. These are the energies that will carry you through, and light up your life...

There's no doubt about it, no way of avoiding it, when you step onto the spiritual path you're going to get triggered by events, circusmtances and other people around you. Your buttons will get pushed! The question is not if this will happen, but what to do it about it when it does. It's also understandable you might want to surpress and deny distorted behaviour, but really this becomes counterproductive and derailing.

So what might be the best approach to dealing with such triggers when they arise?

First we need to understand exactly what a trigger is in order to effectively work with them.

There's a good deal of emphasis in the spiritual mainstream about coming into "Being", but what does that mean exactly and does the spiritual journey simply end there? Absolutely not. When we come into Being, it unleashes a flow of authentic soul energy that is wanting to express as "Beingness" of which there are different qualitities, different harmonies, depending on the situation the Being is flowing into.

Understanding this dynamic is crucial to coming into full Enlightenment, which is far from a static phenomenon...

I oriignally wrote this article back in 2014 about the inexorable rise of cryptocurrency and it's value as a means of getting away from Central Banking Hegemonay. Cryptocurrencies offer the potential for people to trade and exchange with each other across decentralised platforms on a new technology basis called "Blockchain", which has the capacity to overturn technological dominance by silicon valley. Although big institutions are now beginning to take cryptocurrency seriously, and likely seek to influence its growth, nevertheless, it's highly likely to be a new way for us to trade with each other in the future, and especially beginning now, as fiat currency deflates due to excessive bailout funding in the wake of the recent virus pandemic.

I get the sense that 2020 will be a highly alchemical and transformative year in the 5D Shift. It feels like the waves of the old construct, and those aligning with the New Paradigm of interconnected possibility will diverge more strongly. The shadow side will make itself increasingly evident in its misaligned outlandishness. Plenty in the mainstream will be clinging tighter on, as the sands of time slip ever quicker through grasping fingers. But consciousness is shifting to the higher vibration now. And so for those following Earth's realigning flow, there is much to be realised, much illumination, much to be gained.

In this growing divergence that 2020 represents, it's essential therefore to align your flow accurately. Here's insight into fulfilling that...

There's a fascinating new documentary film out by the alternative researcher David Wilcock called "The Cosmic Secret". It's a tremendous production, exploring many deep concepts about ET involvement in humanity's past and the future we're unfolding into. It includes plenty of factual and whistleblower evidence and personally I found it an essential view for people on a multidimensional 5D Shift pathway. I would also add an important caveat to be aware of...

We're moving through times of uncertainty as the old reality construct we're living in is progressively unwinding. This is already making plenty of people anxious and to varying degrees, worried about their future. This in itself begins to close down the field around you, creating 'poverty consciousness', where abundance stops flowing. It's essential you notice if this is happening to you, so that you may open the flow up once more with empowered possibility.

Here's an exploration of how to do that...

We are no longer on the cusp of great change in the World. We are no longer on the brink. We are RIGHT IN the midst of the most powerful Transmutation process in the Earth's history. On the surface it is far from petty: climate crisis, environmental destruction, financial instability and political insanity, it's enough to make an angel weep! But did we expect the world's shift to higher 5D consciousness to be all roses and light? What we need right now are the mirrors. We need the reflections to let go of the collapsing old world order that's become decrepid and defunct. Let that be the inspiration to decide: to take back power, take centre stream, and make your life epic!

It strikes me that mainstream media and even the spiritual mainstream are well behind the curve of what's truly happening out there in the Earth Shift. To my mind, there's still too much retraction behind either fearful or hopeful veils to fully embrace things as they really are. When you strip away what you'd like to have happen or are afraid will, then you're plunged into the truth. Whereupon, you're rendered the immaculate possibility to ride the wave as your consciousness becomes one with the universal flow. With that in mind, we need to move on from speaking about climate change.

We need to start talking about "Climate Crisis"....

There's a tide that's rising quickly now through the world, with many different streams of consciousness flowing. Getting a sense of what's truly happening and finding clarity for yourself is utterly essential to getting the most from your daily life in the context of the current dynamic. We must come into the truth of what's really happening, then the eddy currents of distortion will cease to bash us around. Today, to be in the truth, requires a good degree of fearless boldness - the courage to embrace what is, and to come forth from there, in the majesty of your splendid uniqueness...

Have you seen the movie, "At Eternity's Gate" about the painter Vincent Van Gogh, played brilliantly by Willem Dafoe?

For anyone engaging in the Great 5D Shift of consciousness taking place across our planet, it's a superlative essy in reading the underlying flow of life, and the essential importance of fully expressing yourself with passion and commitment, even in a world that might not respect your unique gifts of beingness.

Let's make our lives a masterpiece!
