We're in a critical phase
of human civilization
That our survival is really in question
There is generally a feeling
That there's something happening
People have been exposed of course
to the whole concept of peak oil
To climate change, to population explosion
The doomsday clock
keeps moving closer
Re ligious people are talking
about the end times
Present state of disorganization
What seems to be happening is that people
are beginning to realize
How many of these are real crises
Or how many of these are crises as a result
of limitations of our belief system?
While our civilization's
structures become so rigid
And it can no longer adapt
to the changing situations
There's a great increase
in mental illness
There are signs of when these civilizations
come to an end
There's a sense of alienation
within the population
A very large increase in violent crime,
social disruption
Some of the beliefs that we have bought
into affect the entire population so
And surprisingly an interest
in religious cultism
As societies start to begin
to disintegrate
These weapons of mass distraction
Which are now falling apart
as we're seeing
Life being exposed time and time again,
every day, every week
What they've been distracting us from
Is our true power,
the true nature of human nature
Our power to evolve
Our power to become cells in the
organism called humanity
And there's the exciting story
of our own power to evolve
Our own true nature and our own
evolutionary destiny
Medicine started out as
a healing art to help others
But over time and in our
materialistic world
And a world based on corporations
Industries that thrive by making
money out of sick people
But the environment's changing
We are at this very moment
In a stage where corporations
are teeter- tottering
Because they can't maintain
themselves anymore
They've grown too big and they
have too little awareness
To maintain this world
And while they are doing their
destruction of the planet
A new series of people
are coming out of the old
Just like we talked about
the imaginal cells
But imaginal cells have a
different vision of the world
And why this is important for us
Is because it is a world of relationship
Nobody can get off the bus,
we're all in this together
We see that we are indeed really
approaching a change of civilization
It really is a lesson for us
We're in the throes of a new evolution
A new civilization is manifesting,
a greater civilization is manifesting
Creative minorities arise
The imaginal cells are people
that are saying
"There's another way to do this
There's a better,
brighter image that's much more successful
Than the one we're doing"
The precursors of the next
level of our evolution
The fractal image will repeat itself
It's not a coincidence
We know where we've been,
we know where we're going
And all I have to say is
Just stay out of way of
the dinosaurs as they crash
And allow us to take over this planet
And bring in the new ideas that the
imaginal cells will offer
To support and encourage our
survival as a civilization on this planet
