Changes

Of all the Horsemen here, [[war]] and [[famine]] are your most contemporary horsemen—you are well familiar with them.  You are living with this [[apocalypse]] now.  Were you frightened yesterday about these horsemen prancing around your world?  Most of you who are reading this will say, “No, it was not a factor in our [[community]], or our [[family]], or our [[society]].  It usually takes place somewhere else.”  So you have gotten used to these difficulties; you have become numbed by their [[presence]].  Even in highly [[technological]] nations, the traffic deaths that your countries bear have become just another statistic to you; until it affects you personally, where your [[family]] member or [[neighbor]] has been killed in an automobile [[accident]], then you take it quite [[personal]]ly.  Otherwise, the thousands of people who are killed on your highways do not seem to have much effect upon you.  I am not saying this to diminish your caring, or your [[heart]]-centered sympathies for those around the world—not at all—I am saying this to bring you in the present [[moment]] to become aware that you are living in the apocalypse.  This is not something that is going to happen at 11:59 on December 21, [[2012]]; it is occurring now, my [[friends]].

I am grasping for [[metaphors]] to show you how the [[cincture]], the knot of [[sustainability]] and [[Survival|survivability]] is getting tighter around the neck of your [[civilization]], as it exists of seven billion people on this small world.  As I say, I [[struggle]] for appropriate metaphors so you can thoroughly understand the slow, [[progressive]] throttling that your global civilization is now experiencing.  When I say, “throttling,” I truly mean that; it is a slow, cutting back of [[velocity]] of [[progress]] of your world as a whole civilization.  Yes, [[technology]], [[economies]] do try to race ahead and [[manipulate]] the [[environments]] in which they exist, so there can be continued [[growth]], but as a global civilization, the [[degree]] of progress as a civilization is slowing and will begin to sink.

Now, the Fourth Horseman, [[Death]], is a [[natural]] [[expectation]] of life, just as new [[individuals]] are born into [[existence]] here on your [[planet]], so too those flash out of existence as [[material]] [[beings]] on this planet.  Death is a natural experience of life; it is a termination of this [[embryonic]] caterpillar existence, before you completely [[change]] into the butterfly of [[morontial]] existence.  For some of you, death holds no [[mysteries]]; for some of you, you are not surprised at death, you are not disturbed by it, but you [[accept]] it as a part of life termination, as a part of life’s existence, and that you delay its occurring appropriately, to the extent that you can have a [[meaning]]ful life, a fruitful life, a [[Quality of Life|life of quality]].  Death for many of you, who are gravely ill, for those who are in and out of the [[phases]] of [http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alzheimer's_Disease Alzheimer’s], it is something that you wish to [[embrace]].  Death for those who are in the rapid pace of life and living is something to be avoided and not even thought of, so it is shocking to those of you in this phase of life and living, which is so enjoyable and so exciting and so fulfilling to your [[ego]] and to your personal embellishment, that you wish to hold it at arms length, in [[abeyance]], as long as you can.  Yet, death is part of the [[flow]] of life; it is a [[natural]] outcome of living; it is something that occurs.

Your world is [[Interdependence|interconnected]].  We have been teaching you, just as [[Gautama]] has been teaching you for centuries and millennia, that you are “one,” and the oneness of all includes you, includes everyone else, and as you affect the “one,” the [[whole]], so the “one,” the whole, affects you.  It is inescapable.  Because of this wholeness, this oneness of [[Connectivity|interconnectedness]] in your world now, these are the reasons that the [[Correcting Time]] can move forward more rapidly and in a timely manner.  The engagement of the [[co-creative]] processes in your world is an obligated part that follows when a world population becomes continuous, contiguous, adjoining.  Whenever a world has a population that has covered all the continents, regions and locales, then the [[co-creative]] [[influences]] begin to come forward.

Now let us begin the other [[phase]] of this [[discourse]], and that is that you do have a great deal of control over your life, energetically.  I wish you to recall the short [[writing]] by [http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goethe Goethe], dealing with [[providence]].  It says that Providence has almost a surreal way of arranging [[events]] to occur.  Now Providence is real (Providence with a capital “P”), is the [[mysterious]] part of the [[universe]] [[action]], which even I am not fully aware of.  There is something in the [[architecture]] of the [[universe]], at the grandest scales, which coordinates the [[serendipity]], happenstance, and [[synchronicity]] of [[developments]], which brings about unexpected “[[good]].”
