LAO TZU’S 2500 YEAR-OLD MESSAGE TO ‘THE PEOPLE OF THE FUTURE’ TELLS HOW TO APPROACH OUR GLOBAL CRISIS 

Messages from Meetings with the Plants.

The lessons of 2020 just keep rolling in. Everything is being challenged, and so much that had been in the shadows forever is being illuminated by truth. Our system is totally unsustainable. It’s collapsing under the weight of its own hubris, and all of the things we thought brought us security and convenience are turning against us. It’s time to rethink all of it.

My sense is that we have drifted far from the true nature of life, and have grown dangerously out of balance, divided, and fragmented. Over time we have lost our ability to perceive life in its wholeness, and now, in the actual reality of living in a masked, socially distanced, self-isolating world of almost 8 billion people, this truth is unavoidably right in front of our faces.

Humans aren’t as mysterious as we’d like to believe. We’re creatures of habit, predictability and pattern, and we love to follow programs. By carefully observing the patterns in life, the sages and wisdom keepers of generations long gone were able to envision our current predicament.

I came across a passage from Lao Tzu’s the Hua Hu Ching, in which the venerable Lao Tzu seems to speak directly to us today in this time of great crisis. In an oration with a student, Lao Tzu explains how the human mind of the future will deteriorate into fragmentation, specifically noting that the intellectual element of the mind will take over.

“Kind prince, there is great power in an integrated and sincere mind. By keeping their minds whole and untouched, the ancient sages evolved profound mental and spiritual abilities. They understood that intellectual development by itself fragments the mind and can lead a person far from the true nature of life. In the future, humanity will overemphasize the intellectual element of the mind. Instead of recognizing the wholeness of life, people will perceive life as having a worldly aspect and a spiritual aspect that are separate and unrelated to each other. People will also lose themselves in isolated fragments of conceptual information and become the victims rather than the masters of their knowledge.” ~The Complete Works of Lao Tzu: Tao Teh Ching and Hua Hu Ching, translated by Master Hua-Ching Ni

This sounds remarkably similar to the prophecy of the Eagle and the Condor which sees the people of North America becoming dominated by the masculine, logical, intellectual mind, as represented by the eagle. The remedy for this is a reunification with the condor of South America, which represents the feminine, intuitive and empathetic qualities of the mind.

Lao Tzu goes on to comment on how we, ‘the people of the future,’ can rectify this situation, noting that we will become dependent on modern ideas which don’t serve us well, while shunning holistic knowledge which may be of great benefit to the times. He offers the following insight.

“The remedy for people of the future age of great confusion lies in the ancient knowledge of the integral way of life that has been passed down from generation to generation. The holistic way of life, practiced by the ancient sages incorporated body, mind and spirit as a whole in all activities. Their clothing, diet and dwellings were in accordance with nature. They relied on their limbs for transportation. Their education was broad and comprehensive; it did not emphasize one element of their being while neglecting the others. They did not seek out special activities for recreation; their work and recreation were one and the same. Their forms of exercise developed not only the body, but the mind and spirit as well, through the harmonization of internal energies. Their music functioned as a bridge between mind and spirit and was not just an emotional release. Their leaders were chosen because they were outstanding models of virtue, not for their financial or military capabilities. Philosophy, science and spiritual practice were incorporated as one whole.” ~The Complete Works of Lao Tzu: Tao Teh Ching and Hua Hu Ching, translated by Master Hua-Ching Ni

Life is whole. We don’t live forever, we die. In horrible, tragic, sad, frightening and lonely ways. But we also live, and our disrupted connection from the nature of life is literally physically cutting us off from experiencing life. In this state, all we can see is the end, there is no longer a capacity to see life as a journey. The intellectual mind has framed life as something that must be protected by killing it.

In the passage from the Hua Hu Ching, the student asks Lao Tzu the very question that is on all of our minds today.

The prince replied, “Venerable Teacher, how can people in the future era of confusion deal with their greatly troubled times?

“Kind prince, the people of the future should not blindly accept the new nor reject the old. Things that were developed long ago may still have great value if they have been proven safe and effective by the test of time. The new inventions that appear may seem like shortcuts, but things of temporal convenience will bring hidden troubles later. Future generations will need to evaluate all old and new discoveries and inventions to insure that they are useful and healthy, according to the standards of a holistic way of life.”  ~ The Complete Works of Lao Tzu: Tao Teh Ching and Hua Hu Ching, translated by Master Hua-Ching Ni

I interpret this as a call to rethink the way in which technology and centralized control are affecting our lives. Things that seem like good ideas always end up being used to enslave or control us, and at present, there is no pathway to review or to backtrack on any of the so-called great inventions of the time. It’s all coming at us at light speed, and the more complex the physical world becomes, the more confused and disconnected the inner world becomes.

 Fully Believe You Are Capable of Creating.

Channeled Message,

Dear Ones,

Even though you read the words and watched the films, you have yet to fully believe you are capable of creating anything. That the title of earth angel applies to you for you are little different than you have always been. So you express the correct transition words hoping that doing so will convince you as well as others that you are no longer of 3D.

Perhaps such thoughts disturb you for you want to believe. You note this indicator or that thought and pronounce yourself cured of 3D fears and actions. Yet, you believe deep within you that all is a beautiful dream that will never come to fruition for you. Even though others might experience such glories as peace and joy, you are merely an observer.

You even have difficulties believing you or anyone is capable of changing the world.

Such is similar to the beliefs of your teen years. As a teen, you likely worried about dating, classes, and interactions – believing that someone was better, smarter, prettier, or more physically talented than you. Even if you achieved some of the markers you pined for in your teen years, you were never capable of achieving them all. Years later, you probably learned that those you wished to be like in your teen years had similar doubts and fears.

So it is now. You feel you are no different than you were a few years ago. You might have some new thoughts or actions, but not enough to qualify as an earth angel. So you read the information believing such MIGHT be possible for others, but not you.

And you act accordingly. Waiting for someone to wave a magic wand in your direction. Which is no different than your teen years waiting for the cutest boy or girl to look your way. And if that cute boy or girl did not, you confirmed within yourself that you were missing some vital element.

Most of you are repeating your teens, maybe even your young adult years. Fully believing you missed the golden ring because of your image, conversation, actions, clothes, money, education, religion, and on and on. There was always something you wanted and could not create. So it is now. You believe you lack something, and if you only knew what that was, you could be the earth angel superstar we label you as.

You need nothing more to claim your earth angel status than to be.

Many of you remember extremely difficult 3D times. And as you do so, you add to your belief that even though you might score a personal victory via additional income or the right mate or job title – all could disappear in a moment. You are prepared for the worst and have a limited belief in the best.

What you have not yet accepted is that you are not of 3D. No longer do you need to hope for the best, accepting what is. You are a new being in a new world. Even though your physical being might not look that different, your inner being has evolved to meet your new world.

The only way you will change your beliefs is by creating that which gives you joy without the expected pain. Such is likely a bit in the future. Not because it has to be, but because you cannot yet believe you are different in a different world.

Do not emotionally beat yourself up, as you did in 3D, for not producing, for believing you are not an earth angel. Merely accept that your life is rapidly evolving, and those little or big thoughts of how you would prefer your life to be, have hit their mark. For your frequencies have evolved to allow that life to be.

In 3D, you needed to perform for years, maybe even decades, to create that which you pined for as a young teen. A good job, a happy family, and a stable home. Perhaps in 3D, those pieces never came together for you. Such has absolutely no bearing on your current life. Your 3D life is merely a memory of what was. You no longer require a graduation ceremony to know you are qualified. Nor do you need a specific mate to create your joy.

Yet, you continue to play by 3D rules. Believing that before you can create this, that needs to happen. Or before you find your joy, others have to find it also.

This new world is a new game with new rules. It is about instant gratification instead of “wait and see.” And instead of everyone having the same dreams, each of you is unique.

Even though you might wish to learn more about a specific subject because it is interesting to do so, that learning is not required before creating that of which you dream.

You no longer have prerequisites, as was true in 3D. Many of those prerequisites were the result of the karma you collected in 3D life after 3D life. That ended when you exited 3D. You have a clean slate. So do not pine for the time when you can be joyful, as you did in 3D. You are fully capable and worthy of instant gratification.

Do you now understand your new circle of self-love? You act on your joys, which leads to more joy and on and on. It is not about, “I will paint my masterpiece after I have taken this course.” But instead, “Wouldn’t it be fun to explore various colors or to buy a canvas I might use someday?”

Your new life is about exploring your joy. Your 3D life was about completing karma and hoping that by doing so, you might find joy.

You are not who you were, and neither is your new earth playground. Remember the excitement of playing with blocks when you were a toddler? You learned as you explored that joy. Yet, that learning was not expressed by you, it was merely fun to play with blocks.

So it is now. If it’s fun or interesting, do it. When that activity or thought stops being fun, move on to something that enthralls you. Just as you did as an infant or toddler. That is until you were old enough to be forced into 3D fear and karma.

You have no rules other than discovering and interacting with your joy. No prerequisites, no karma, no parents, or teachers telling you no or that you are a bad boy or girl. You are just you. Reborn into joy and negating your fear – especially the fear that you are not an earth angel or if you are not as qualified as others. Stop it!!!! Claim your joy, and all will fall into place without worries, tests, or fear. 

So be it. Amen.
