Why
wHeretwoworldsTouch, et al?
First and last, wHeretwoworldsTouch.com
voices a
direct, clarion call to those who comprise this global Consciousness-Shift
Movement -- as a Movement.
We are awakening as a species, catching ourselves in the very act of
this Human evolutionary leap, something the Canadian, Dr. Maurice Bucke,
glimpsed during a cosmic consciousness experience more than a century
ago, on the order of a "new Consciousness as a mental evolution of mankind, which as it became increasingly common, and eventually general, would lift the whole of human life to a higher plane."
Lack
of progress and general knowledge have been contingent upon two things
..
In
their
quote about "the weakness of the Cultural Creatives,"
you may recall, Paul Ray and
Sherry Ruth Anderson realized we have lacked a "basis
for supporting each other and working together."
I
interpret this to suggest two distinct needs: One is, what,
across the board, do we as a Movement have in common that most emphatically
connects us all together, inferring this Consciousness Movement? What
is the pivotal flashpoint that brings it all together? The
most succinct and eloquent conveyance I have come across is
the Experiential Paradigm [EP], defined by Rhea White as ..
A
worldview that is based not on physical data and logic but on
the sum total of one's EHEs. Its tenets must be experienced to
be known. These experiences eventually lift a person into a
whole new way of perceiving reality. He or she is no longer
enmeshed in the old worldview but can see it as if from
outside. At the same time, the EHEer is aware of being in a
new worldview that is based on heart knowledge and inner being
that rests on a personal sense of connection with the entire
creation.
Re-invoking a useful analogy, we've all seen what happens when a totally chaotic pile of iron filings is instantly brought
into perfect alignment in the presence of a powerful magnet.
The Experiential Paradigm is
the "magnet" that answers the question of what it is we
have in common that generates a sense of instant resonance or
identity for
our long-disarrayed, seemingly disparate population.
Almost
anyone would agree today there is this distinct "consciousness
shift" in the air, and some organizations and individuals are
indeed actively promoting this with full understanding of its
evolutionary significance. To achieve the essential unity and collective strength
we need to
become all we can be as the great creative, healing consciousness-force
we are as a Movement, we need the grace to be able to see this
archetypal connection NOW. This is the New Story of Humanity we
are witnessing as it unfolds from within each of us, and potentially
from within our species as a whole.
Silence
is our worst enemy.
One of the most talented and articulate social activists of the last
century was Audre Lorde, who wrote,
What I most regretted were my silences. Of what had I ever been
afraid? ... I was going to die, if not sooner than later,
whether or not I had ever spoken myself. My silences had not
protected me. Your silence will not protect you ... it is not
difference which immobilizes us, but silence. And there are so
many silences to be broken.
Think about this within the context of the crying need to 'hear into
speech' each other's stories of our journeys of rebirth incepted by
these momentous EHE occasions. This kind of silence can be
crippling in a bushel of ways. For example, even though a lot of
Experiencers have had the blessing of insight and ability to recognize
the true nature of their glimpses into the Larger Life Reality, not
everyone has been so fortunate, post-Experience. It's
not unusual for people who have such Experiences to feel confused or disturbed about them.
Some individuals have no idea what to make of their anomalous
adventures. In particularly these types of situations, a lot of folks
dare not bring the subject up, which would help them to begin to
make sense of their Exceptional Experiences, if they could feel safe
enough to do that. Even given the very popular literature and
other media concerning these events, generally people have yet to feel
comfortable sharing these Experiences.
But this will pass, along
with the
self-imposed isolationism, once wHeretwoworldsTouch
is fully up and operational and the
various opportunities to talk with others of like mind -- and Experience
-- are available. Once we hear and read and speak a fair number of
these, each quite unique, yet all same-same, we really do get it why and
how these are the evolutionary pivotal point of our current planetary
and human condition. Our fears melt like shadows on a wall in the
presence of full sunlight. British writer and once celebrated
skeptic Colin Wilson has remarked,
"[W]hen
we read perhaps a hundred accounts, all of which seem to point to the
same conclusion, it becomes very hard to feel so certain that they all
amount to self-deception or willful mendacity." After presenting
some of the most fascinating and compelling cases encountered in his
own research for several books, Wilson observes that in his estimation
the overall case for survival is so strong that "it would be
rather perverse to go on thinking up objections." [in What
Survives? Contemporary
Explorations of Life After Death, by
Gary
Doore]
Countless EHEers have admitted these are without doubt their most
intimately cherished life Experiences, and we can't help but see their significance as the archetypal New Story that is changing our
entire understanding of Human nature itself. That's B-I-G.
'All things EHE' is the singular galvanizing influence that can
indeed save us and our Earth from the former ignorance of our lesser
selves -- if we are wise enough, persistent enough, brave enough,
numbers enough to make the difference by breaking the silence that is
otherwise certain to be our greatest irreparable and most anguishing
downfall, should our sacred Earth die as a result.
Community
is unity, strength, a collective sigh of relief, direction, joy!
The second distinct need implicit in the quote by Ray and Anderson
is that of community, based on what those who recognize
themselves to be part of this Movement most have in common. Below is
an abbreviated list of some of the many ways this web complex
fulfills these necessities [a fuller

This
is no 'us vs. them' scenario; it's all 'us'.
Every Human Being has the inherent
potential to realize this, and the fact that this type of transformation
visits people from all walks of life -- saint, murderer, every type of
traditional religionist, atheist, rich, poor, people of all ages, every
race, every namable geographic location, healthy and not, even alive or
clinically dead -- renders any entertained idea of exclusivity to be null and void. Over the last half century a growing
number of people that may include one quarter to one half of the entire
world population has found itself in varying stages of this Wakening
process. Some are fully aware of all this and its ramifications,
whereas others may be grades and shades of confused, uncertain,
wondering if they are crazy, in denial, etc. for one reason only:
isolation and lack of knowledge. Let's change that.
Summary
I believe as people become familiar with this complex of communities
relating to 'all things EHE' and as they start
finding connections with others in the ways described, they --
or rather, we -- will just COME ALIVE as a cohesive, unitive
consciousness force that will together achieve things we can't even
begin to imagine! Not only within our personal and connecting
lives but for our Earth and for our global Human family. I
believe we are "just in time" to become a munificent
ameliorating presence in the world. And never has it been more
needed!
I'm
just one little person, my goal having been to see this get off the
ground and into the consciousness of those it serves.
Ultimately, wHeretwoworldsTouch.com, along with Ahhh-TheLight.com and the EHE Study
Groups as one entity, will become an intensely active, global,
communal hive, built and guided on the inspired visioning
that comes out of the collective hearts of the enormous
population of the Cultural Creatives / EHEers / Translucents [Thank
you, Arjuna Ardagh!] themselves. The very meaning and purpose that drives them,
sourced in the consciousness-shift experience of our oneness
they have been discovering, is already altering our entire
conception of what it means to be Human. What will
we not accomplish "as ONE," once we are truly,
mutually aware and organized as an "official" and singular
Movement, with clear intentionality? Poised on the threshold of stepping
forward together in all parts of the world, to embrace it fully,
lovingly, as instruments of healing and blessing and
wholeness-making, with our collective
purposefulness and dynamic unity, we will bring livingly into our
collective Experience the reality of "where the two worlds
touch" and we in all worlds will become WHOLE. And in the
words of Julian of Norwich, "all will be WELL and every kind of
thing will be WELL," perhaps for the very first time since the
origin of our species.
In
summary, there is a globally significant meaning
and purpose implicit in this work as broad and deep as the
promise of Human evolution -- and as urgent as the hope of
planetary survival. The underlying question that drives this "Project
of Transcendence," ultimately belonging to all of
us as one evolving Human Family, is this:
