The Free Radical

(Blue and Sand by Echolyn from their 3-CD set A Little Nonsense 1989-2000)

The smoke was replaced overnight with rain clouds!

Sometimes we can only see what’s right in front of us… and then, sometimes even that can be difficult.

It’s still pretty easy to get caught up in the notion that ‘some things will never change.’ That’s where a momentary change of perspective makes all the difference. And, I should point out, that a ten-hour drive across the Canadian prairies affords one ample time for mulling things over! Here’s one spicy, mulled thought:

As I met a great number of new people and had occasion to engage them in conversation, I made an observation that was new… at least to me. So many young people– mostly in their twenties– each had so many exciting tales of adventure and travel. It was quite clear that despite their tender ages, they had already lived.

Souls have long taken interest in Earth because of the unique and varied experiences that can be gleaned here. It is through experience that soul-growth occurs. In this moment of time– the end of an era– an individual can gain more varied experience in just one lifetime than it may have taken a hundred or more lifetimes to obtain previously. And it seems quite normal to do so. The pace of evolution– in terms of gaining experience– has accelerated exponentially in the last while… and it’s still accelerating.

Due to the acceleration– which is pretty undeniable– it’s logical to conclude that we are indeed at the end of an evolutionary era. With more than seven billion human participants, each having access to a very wide-ranging experience in this lifetime, we are certainly, collectively, exhausting the possibilities within the current ‘game’ parameters. We need a different game… or we’ll be uselessly spinning our wheels over the same old ground while our souls lose interest altogether.

In a conscious universe, the change is inevitable. But still I wonder… does the slow apocalypse really have to be this slow? Well, I have my assurances, and in the meantime I’ll just try to enjoy the rain!
