I walk out in deep thought to my people, my tribe, my kindred spirits. I love walking on the path through the field, sparkling with solar lights. Tonight, the path leads to a roaring fire. It is a warm summer evening, stars are glimmering above, and many of the community are sitting on the logs around the fire, socializing about the week’s events. I feel a slight cool breeze in the closed night. At least heat isn’t like the sweltering heat south of here. I just returned from there. The Southlands.

I drift back to thoughts of the Southlands. I shake as I think about the sweltering heat engulfing me, taking away all energy and motivation. That type of heat can shut down my logical mind, leaving me with only basic functions. That’s not the case on this pleasant warm summer evening in Old Stone.

I snap back into myself as I walk up to the fire circle. There is just enough heat to enfold me in a blanket of relaxation. I’m home now. I gently hold my peaceful thoughts and gratitude for this evening.

Watching the sunset over the hills in the distance, with its last warming rays sinking into darkness, brings me a sense of peace. I delve into my feelings as my mind relaxes in this welcoming moment, secure enough to feel instantaneous warmth from my heart. It has been a long time. The Southlands are burning, with temperatures so hot nature herself could barely tolerate them. More than the heat, though, was the fear that radiated from people’s minds.

In the Southlands, as in all lands, a growing and rampant fear lies in wait, deep in the thoughts of people as they try to survive day-to-day.

The Fall

Shape Description automatically generated with medium confidence

Let me give you some background before we launch into my story.

Long ago, my people used to live in harmonious bliss. They went about their days with the expectation that life would continue as it had always been. They enjoyed the comforts of their society. But there were those who did not want harmonious bliss; they wanted to live in a chaos that matched the unrest in their minds.

A stable society can be built based on the equitable distribution of the available resources. Excess resources can create the possibility of evolution of consciousness. An evolution of consciousness could have been available to the civilization that existed before the Fall. It could have happened here, but it did not. Instead of using resources ethically and equitably, the civilization before the Fall used resources at an unsustainable pace for other purposes like power and accumulated wealth. The Fall refers to the fall from a harmonious blissful existence to one filled with corrupt, greedy, power-hungry people who act with complete unconcern for the impact of their actions on others and the environment, leading to a breakdown of society.

Most people thrive on sameness and predictability. But life is change; we can surf with the changes or swim against the current and collapse. There are usually a few people in society who have the vision and fortitude to bring their visionary concepts into existence. The world before the Fall was swimming against the currents of change, and slowly exhausted itself. Warning signs were glaringly obvious, but most chose not to see them. For example, the elevated idea that all the populations should strive to have the standard of living as industrialized nations, gave spot light to how this standard of living was maintained. It spotlights the poverty in comparison to those few living in luxury. It is not a system that allows all to live a comfortable lifestyle as the higher standard of industrialized nations like to showcase. The way for all to live in harmony is to have a sustaining cycle of renewable resources of a given environment. But it was not the system the civilized world was built upon. People choose not to see the vast gap between the haves and the haves not, or the damage their consumption caused to the Earth, or the extreme weather happening more often with each season. These people did not have their eyes wide-open; they had their eyes tightly shut.

The familiar systems that kept most of the masses comfortable, also kept the people in psychological cages. Cracks appeared in the unsustainable systems. In these cracks grew deep corruption. This was a time when a person or group of people could step in and courageously radiate a hero’s energy. They could take control and redirect the change to a higher Divine perspective. A perspective that could create the wave of change that would lead to a higher evolution of consciousness for the individual and the society. But it did not happen.

Unfortunately, there were enough corrupt, unethical people - those motivated by control and craving power for its own sake - to make a higher evolution of consciousness impossible. These were the ones who directed the wave of change toward their self-serving vision. This is what happened in the Fall.

The Fall started when the available resources did not meet the needs of the people. The distribution cycle fell apart. The comfortable lifestyles of many melted away. People blamed others, the government, companies, and whoever else they could think of for lifestyle loss. This projection of finding a directive created intensified dualistic thinking of good and evil. It became normal to assign blame for one’s woes to another group, another group blaming another group, and so on; till it was only dualistic thinking of blame swinging from group to group. What emerged was a view of life finding the evil ones to blame outside one’s self. This created resentment, fear, and anger. On a spiritual level, souls who are not connected with the Divine within their being, find energy from other sources. These unconnected souls latched on to the upsets and found perverse comfort in the crumbling societies. These are the ones who moved in to take power and control, no matter who was hurt or destroyed. These were the people who took what they wanted from others because they did not know love from deep within themselves.

As societies were collapsing, a few people thought independently. They did not understand why the masses believed the false information the unconnected souls were giving them. It did not make sense to this small group. These people had insight into the Light of Divine Harmony as a vision for the future. In this future, they saw the wave of change redirected toward an evolution in human consciousness of growth within wisdom, light, and love. Alas, they were not in the majority.
