The Global Ascension Narrative Is a Huge Distraction

The Global Ascension narrative is a huge distraction and deflection from the real work of Self-realization. So many seekers waiting for the world to ascend to higher consciousness, waiting to catch a ride on the Global Awakening tour bus are misguided and misdirected. Because this waiting is a hidden avoidance. Waiting for the rising waters to raise all the boats, or trying to save the world before you yourself are saved is a juicy racket with a tasty bullet-proof payoff for the ego. Because you get to look spiritual and committed while hiding in plain sight.

And of course the logic of it is absurd. That we all have to wait for our awakening until the whole world levels up. Really? Haven’t you noticed all the countless sages throughout the millennia to the present day who have become enlightened without the benefit of the Mayan calendar or whatever eschatology is du jour?

Do the work of SELF-realization first. It’s like when the masks come down on the decompressing aeroplane: you put your own mask on first, then you can help others. You’re of no use to anyone otherwise. And when you’re saved you might just help save all the other passengers. Maybe that’s how the Global Level-up happens. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Because we don’t know if or when this global awakening will come. How long have we been waiting for the Great Spiritual Dawn? What historical age didn’t believe they were living in the End Days, and the Kingdom of Heaven was on its way, imminently? We’re all still waiting.

But even if we were living in the depths of the darkest age, and we may be, and the Age of Light was ten-thousand years away, true awakening is still available to you now. So don’t wait for something or someone to save you from yourself. Take your spiritual destiny in your own hands and discover your True Nature, your inherent freedom, and on that basis become a light for all.

    Meeting Reality

    Enlightenment, liberation, awakening is all about reality. It’s about recognising what and how reality is, and when we do, resistance to it falls away. It’s about not expecting reality to be other than it is, not wishing and expecting the impossible. And the way to it is mostly about watching and observing and letting life…

  • Not Me and Not You

    I was sitting outside a café with a friend some time ago, and we were talking about ‘consensus reality’ as he put it. He was wishing that he could be free of its influence. I sympathised with his POV but pointed out that we aren’t actually bound by it, and it’s enough to recognise one’s…

  • Holding Two Truths

    Lately I see a big part of the spiritual scene is about a kind of ‘radical humanness’. And I’m all about owning and including our embodied nature and not denying it one bit. But this can also be the back door to re-identification and the denial of the miraculous and mystical truth of being. Yes,…

  • The Usurper

    The mind, it just makes up a bunch of questions to bother itself with. Questions that it demands answers to before it will allow itself to rest. Which of course is never. The mind just endlessly justifies its own existence, its own primacy. But maybe we shouldn’t be so hard on the mind. It’s doing…

  • Let It Be

    The tagline on my website used to say, ‘exploring present-moment awareness’ which sounds okay on the face of it, but the truth is I’m not exploring at all; I’m observing, witnessing. I’m not going anywhere or doing anything, I’m not plumbing any depths, I’m not even responding to anything; I’m just here, watching ‘the world’…
