The focus of that story, on this small outpost in
a cosmos too grand and expansive for us to truly appreciate in our human form,
is us. We are the stars in the show living an adventure played out in a
hospitable, diverse and abundant playground that is often referred to as Mother
Earth. This water planet has given birth
to us all. Most native and wisdom
traditions believe the planet is a consciousness – Gaia – and that Spirits or
energy forces if that is a more comfortable way of thinking about it for you,
inhabit numerous places and things on the planet. Most of these Spirits are much older than us
– we have the potential to be the most powerful of the energy beings living on
this planet but we are still young and developing in the sophistication of our
consciousness – we are just beginning to recognize our true potential as a
species. The main difference between the
native Spirits or energy beings of the planet and us is that we are blessed
with the power of creation. Their role is
maintaining the order and integrity of the planet. Our role goes beyond that – we are here to
create new visions of the world.
The new millennium will begin a new age. A very respected Hawaiian Spiritual leader,
Makua, in the book Bowl of Light,
states concerning this next cycle of existence, “This means that we have to
create a new foundation for the next cycle, and what we decide to build on this
will determine the spiritual focus as well as our lifeways for much of the next
several thousand years.” This is where
we are now. A very significant cultural
shift is now emerging.
This is the
beginning of a new book that can aptly be called the Ascent of the Goddesses.
