I have been immersed in such a deep process over the last six months that I have failed to "come up" for a breath long enough to get a handle on how this process relates to the overall scheme of things.  A year and a half ago, I was in Brasil, spending many mornings reading Barbara Marciniak's Bringers of the Dawn, and that helped me begin to understand things outside of my Western, rational-minded way of thinking.

Now, as I swim up to shore for a moment to see what's going on, I find myself with this book in my hands again, and curiously reminded of the things I had been given 18 months ago.  Certainly, after all of my experiences of the past year, it is high time I look at this one again!

So you are here in the restaurant of Earth, occupying an Earth body because this is what is available here.  There is nothing else served up here.  You are going to bring new recipes into the Earth restaurant—recipes that periodically that have been tested and proven true, but only in pockets.  (p. 178) 

You see, this is what the dreaming and visioning is all about—bringing back these new recipes.  This is what the collective changes coming about in the world are about right now.  We’re all out there, in the dreaming world, catching, holding, and pulling back on Earth these new energies and new recipes.  It is a chore, and lots of work—but we’re doing it.

Because of you and multitudes that are upon this planet and surrounding this planet, the present time period was born.  Those of you who are tremendously knowledgeable decided to incarnate in the species to empower it by being an example for the rest who cannot do it for themselves.  You make new pathways of being as you broadcast who you are.  (p. 178)

I am beginning to see this more and more as I discover so many people who are “awakening,” coming into new energies and struggling like I am to not only make sense of it all, but to adjust to it physically, emotionally, and psychologically.  It’s quite unnerving to be tripping out in a grocery store without the assistance of any psychedelic substance.  It just happens.  And it’s a commonplace situation now for others with whom I know, and myself—all of us, fortunately, not spending our daytime hours locked up in the ward of a psychiatric hospital.  Instead, I’m hiding out during the day in a graduate school of depth psychology.

It’s like a wave of energy spreading through the planet.  We see it in natural disasters, and we see it in psychic phenomenon as well:  the numbers of individuals “catching” dreams of tsunami-like waves is astounding in these days.  I don’t think these dreams are a premonition of anything heading towards the West Coast in the coming months; but, instead, a reflection of the change in consciousness coming about, and changes that are already rising up, now.  Things are changing, shifting, moving, and the reverberations are being felt by each of us in physical, emotional, and psychological ways.  It is a wave of cosmic proportions.

Each of us is being rewired, reprogrammed, and reformatted to meet the new software entering the planet, and this is all occurring through our dreamtime, and in our ever-changing relationships with one another and the planet.  Everything is changing.  Everything is affecting everything else.
