New Way Ahead

Stealthy is only the start of it. What’s unfolding is nothing short of brilliant — the sort of big picture, chill-inducing scenario that can give you hope.

The pieces have clicked into place, and are now set to emerge into full view.

My role is as unexpected as delightful. Last year, I wrote a book proposal, inspired by a desire to bring more love into my hometown for people like me–progressives in the middle of the red and rural heartland. No publisher picked it up. Several expressed interest, though found its niche too small and remote

But it seems the proposal was intended for another purpose: So that the premise would be fully fleshed-out and ready for release at precisely the right moment.

So now I’m going to scoop my own book idea. As what I’d previously envisioned is expanding all around us — a spiritual grassroots movement orchestrated by the universe itself.

It makes perfect sense. Love is the most powerful force in the world and exists within each of us as our soul. Let it emerge en masse, and it could be the most strategically masterful maneuver ever consciously deployed. To heal the world with love.

The Power of Grassroots Movements

This is the time of spiritual awakening and to be all of who you are. A new era of digitization and globalization provides us with tremendous potential to reach people and connect them with new information and ideas. It is a potent time of structural and cultural reformation, of addressing all that is stuck in old, outdated ways and in need of change. Racial justice, gender equality, LGBTQ+ rights and recognition, healthcare access, climate challenges, and other broad social issues are experiencing momentum toward progress. That progress is fueled by awakened individuals who see the need for a radical metamorphosis.

A single person has the power to spark a movement that can transform politics, public opinion, and culture. In November 2020, the political tide shifted and a new chapter emerged. Our shared experiences and witnessing of historic movements throughout the year reminded people of the power they have and can affect through passionate grassroots organizing.

The positive impacts of grassroots movements have reached every corner of our world — including areas that can be slow to change. These movements have resulted in more women having a voice in public policy and feeling safer at work and school. People of all races are enriching the social and economic fabric of America. LGBTQ+ entrepreneurs are more inclined to thrive regardless of where they live. Rivers and streams are cleaner, and tax bases are growing with new green jobs and innovations.

What This Grassroots Movement Looks Like

The current global rise in consciousness has the markings of a well-orchestrated grassroots movement. One that can transform the world and usher in the winds of positive and generative change. It starts with the millions of people who have awakened to their spiritual identity, and the millions more coming into the fold as life events trigger introspection.

What is apparent is that as humans awaken to their spiritual identity, many have no idea the power it represents–the inner truth, guidance, and clarity that’s available in any given moment, sans intermediaries. To tap directly into your soul/Self/source/universe–whatever name you chose for the spark within you, that you are.

Over the centuries, enlightened teachers have helped pave the way to this truth. Thanks to technology, many more are visible today, with waves of reinforcements waiting to be called. Indeed, there’s a growing bench who are prepared and assured in their knowledge, ready to jump in. They come with various backgrounds, skills, and talents–and a unique ability to reach those waiting to receive the messages of love they are to deliver through words and actions. To empower individuals who’ve awakened — showing them how to use their inner power to find joy, overcome obstacles, and create a life of peace, purpose, and happiness.

Love Brings Hope in Tumultuous Times

This movement holds the promise of greater freedom and happiness. Those seeds of inspiration could manifest as living a life of more fulfillment and joy, and spurring grassroots change that tears down structures of oppression and division. And they promote ideals that have the power to combat fear and hate by enriching communities, empowering silenced voices, and championing ideas and information that build equality and collective joy.

Witness the infinite power of love in unexpected places. Like the inspired young president of a nation under siege. Women preparing food for soldiers. An outpouring of compassion from citizens around the world. Or take the pandemic, when bells cheered healthcare workers, music played outside open windows of closed-off care facilities, countless acts of kindness uplifted humanity. Ripples that started with one person’s inspired action and flowed forward from there.

It changes the storyline for all who perceive its presence.

Love is the most powerful force in the world. Its high vibration is instant and eternal. And it’s in infinite supply when it comes from the heart space, where the soul resides–making it possible to flood the planet with love.

And that’s the point.

A Call-to-Action for Awakened Souls

An opportunity awaits all who hear the call to join in the most extraordinary coalition of all time. To take love from within and flow it outwards into every nook and cranny. To create real and lasting change, and raise the collective consciousness for a more just and peaceful planet.

I recently chatted with my brother. He’s a smart, logical type from Texas, with multiple graduate degrees, including theology. When I ran the idea of a grassroots movement based on love past him, he said, “Good thing you’re in California (where I’m currently visiting), with the flower children.”

His response wasn’t surprising. And it made me smile, as I enjoy being underestimated.

But never underestimate the power of the universe that creates worlds. The mastermind behind this brilliant strategy. What has been quietly building, under the radar, over the millennia is now picking up steam. And it’s palpable.

This movement gives people the agency and empowerment to take action on rules, situations, and structures that don’t make sense. To make room for new practices and then apply them to create a life of love and individual realization. It encourages the role of love in the search for peace and purpose. It teaches how to use joy and inner guidance as a means to achieve a life of happiness and fulfillment, no matter where you are.

The global movement of spiritual empowerment provides unique opportunities in the larger perspective: to create economic expansion among those who have tapped into love, imagination, and creativity. The movement heals division through a greater inclination to love and to see others through the eyes of oneness instead of separation. It encourages an approach that enables people everywhere to live more joyfully and attract more happiness. It raises the collective vibration. And restores political balance and representation in the places that most need them.

It has the power and potential to shift policy and culture to make them more viable and welcoming to more diverse groups of people. In the process, to change the face of our communities, country, and world, and create a more inclusive and connected planet.

Most importantly, this grassroots spiritual movement empowers individuals to create the change they’d like to see. To bring more peace and joy into the world around them first, where it can then flow outwards. To touch countless others as it ripples forward in its eternal vibration.

The stars are aligned. The dots are connected. Transformation is well underway, and now it’s calling you.
