It's Up to You

When you awaken and suddenly recognize your own place in the evolutionary process, you realize something BIG: that it's all up to you. Consciousness is not going to evolve by itself. If the evolutionary potential inherent in consciousness is going to be activated, you have to be responsible for it. Why? Because it is only through the human vehicle that the creative principle, the God impulse that initiated this whole process, has the capacity to know itself.

God does not exist as a separate dualistic entity, the great conductor on high to whom we pray for help. If we transcend the dualism that has permeated so much of Western tradition, we begin to see that now, at the beginning of the twenty-first century, God, in fact, needs our help. The creative principle is entirely dependent upon us, because it can only emerge in this world in all its glory through our capacity for consciousness. If we are not willing to embrace that burden, then God cannot fulfill his or her greatest desire, which is to emerge. How do we know that God wants to emerge? Because we can feel it. Our own passion for enlightenment, for higher consciousness, is living proof that God desperately wants to act. But that glory cannot and will not become manifest unless we are willing to bring it forth. That is what is so profound and significant about being a human being at this time.
