Are We Evolving?

We are in a moment of huge transformation on this planet, both personal and global. But are we evolving? Our world doesn’t look like it. Humans have become pawns for authoritarian leaders. Who promote an escalating cycle of violence against people and nature. Resulting in an imbalance that reclaims any sovereignty we had as human beings. And it’s showing up on every continent, and from the planet itself. 

Our response to life is directly related to our thoughts and emotions. Because we’re all powerful manifestors. However, when there is no accountability for what’s been created. People go down rabbit holes and get lost. Is this where we are? Lost without purpose. Dealing with things we’ve created that we forgot have power.

This episode explores how human evolution is delayed, when fear becomes a virus programming a disconnect from the sacred self and others. We review the affects of a patriarchal system that’s pushed our species into a human amnesia. Finally, we examine where we’ll find our personal allies. To assist us in refocusing our thoughts…to strengthen the collective light we need to bring about change.

Transcript

Hello, I’m your host, Riverann. And this is Heart Sense. A podcast for aligning, strengthening, and opening our hearts, to a frequency of love that heals ourselves and our planet. Thank you for being here!

The music you’re listening to is from Robin Miller and his CD New Horizons. You can find a link to Robin’s music in the Show Notes and by going online to robinmillermusic.com

I made a promise to myself, that this podcast would not be political, religious, or new age. In keeping with that promise I need to disclose, that although I may reference current events; the focus today is a dive into global human issues.

I think most of us can agree we become better people, when we evolve with an awareness that catalysts deep compassion for one another. For  love and kindness manifest different behaviors than greed and control, which lead to dominance. 

We lose our sovereignty as humans when we’re out of balance with nature. The fact is, humanity has misused the gifts and resources of our planet creating great disharmony. It should come as no surprise to us that the effect is chaotic energy with a violent force that’s consuming man and nature. 

Our response to life is directly related to our thoughts and desires. We’re all powerful manifestors. However when there is no accountability for what’s been created, people go down rabbit holes and get lost. I feel like this is where we are. Lost without purpose. Dealing with things we’ve created that we forgot have power. 

Everything is pointing towards the beginning of a huge transformation that’s been predicted for centuries. We feel it happening. And it’s beginning in the United States with a violent battle between the unconscious mind, uncontrolled emotions, and the human heart.

A violence bleeding into other countries, with no true justification. The world is watching as we struggle to keep love and human dignity afloat, while everything is shifting. But we’re seeing no evidence of movement towards positive change.

I sense from voices rising and speaking up throughout the world.  That we’re all feeling the effects of this collective trauma. From England to Australia I have friends telling me, “We’re on life support here!” The intensity is overwhelming and yet, accountability appears completely absent.

I usually have strong, clear vision, from an intuitive understanding of what’s unfolding. But lately, I’ve found it difficult to trust my vision, that love will ultimately win. 

The choice to ignore the effects of loss and violence on the human psyche. Puts everyone in a negative frequency, spiraling out of control.  This is exactly what we’re witnessing in the United States. 

It feels like an iron blanket of imposed limitations, barricading the door to awakening. The gift, is an alarm that speaks of the urgency to act. Motivating us to break the cycle of a decaying old paradigm that discounts our interdependence and the need for harmony. 

Although fear is a frequency of energy that affects the whole body. Think of it for the moment as a virus in a computer, reprogramming the mind and heart, to stay a reactive state of being. Instead of leaning into a receptive or compassionate response to life’s events. The virus becomes an ego that cripples its human with an elated self worth, or a sense of unworthiness. 

Dismissing the underlying default program, it takes over the operation of the whole computer. Or in our case, the mind and emotions so nothing new is accomplished. 

Human evolution was buried underneath a virus of violence and control so that humanity would be manageable by those in power. Kept ignorant of their personal power, people became dependent on corrupt systems of government and religion. This theme continues to repeat itself in history. 

As the laws of man become more authoritarian than the laws of nature. This imbalance has created most of the problems civilization faces today. Throughout time different opportunities have presented themselves to facilitate a new direction. However when people are trained not to listen to their surroundings and intuition. These lose the ability to empower change.

Because whenever a opportunity presents itself, it also tests us. It’s like we say, “I’m ready.” And the Universe responds, let’s see if that’s true. Often with repeated tests, before we move to the next level of awareness. Denying our own inner voice is like being deaf to the universe.

As human beings we have the tools, intelligence, and intuitive gifts to change our world. And you may wonder like I do, why some are so afraid of the unknown. Because let’s face it, we’ve been exploring the unknown and embracing new discoveries of our world since the beginning of time. So why is our species so afraid of one another? 

Could it be the old paradigms we’ve been living in. Have created such an imbalance between reality and illusion, that there’s no discernment? Are we missing the significance of this wake up call?. 

In truth, we’re connected to everything and everyone here. We live on a planet where one ecosystem sustains another. One life form supports many others. Like a machine, when parts are missing or it’s broken, it becomes dangerous to us. 

However, when humans refuse to recognize their inherent value to one another. A deep amnesia sets in withholding critical information to restore our default systems. With massive blackouts of human memory, those unaware of their intuitive gifts may experience breakdowns that disrupt all moral conscience. Could it be this is what we’re seeing?

We’re in the midst of what may be the worse storm of our lifetime. And we can’t move forward, until a certain percentage of us are aligned and fully awake to respond to our divine intelligence.

People make solutions complicated. When actually there are creative and sometimes simple ways to catalyst positive outcomes. This is one of my favorite examples. And I want you to think about it for awhile. I recently heard a comedian say, “People have the right to hate immigrants. But if you hate immigrants, you shouldn’t be allowed to eat their food, only potatoes.”

I absolutely love that! You may be laughing now as I did at the concept. But there’s a creative idea, that would impact people. Can you imagine giving up your favorite foods for hatred? Its just a wonderful creative concept. And it hits people where they live. I think such a mandate could literally change people’s attitudes. It’s behavior modification in its simplest form.

Social systems have become so polarized that people often don’t understand the value of creative ideas. They’re too simple. It’s like Western medicine and natural healing. If a plant that stimulates the body’s healing can’t be patented for huge profits, the research is abandoned. The fact is,  people respond to different modalities for healing. There isn’t one cure for everyone with the same disease. So ignoring creative ideas can be a recipe for disaster when we’re searching for viable alternatives. 

The growth and evolution of humanity is delayed when we refuse to acknowledge that our planet was designed for balance and harmony. When humans disrupt the environment, dismissing the warnings signs we see from collapsing ecosystems. They create a death sentence for life on this planet. And one of the founding motivations for this came from religious indoctrination, that man should have dominion over this world. We can all see where that has led us!

If we desire a peaceful planet and a joyful, adventurous life. Accepting responsibility and being accountable for what we create physically and energetically is essential. This includes indifference for the lives of animals, over extracting resources from the earth. As well as negative or reactive thoughts, and refusing to embrace a moral compass that leads to a path of love, forgiveness, compassion, and empathy for others. 

There is a difference between sympathy and empathy. Sympathy has a hierarchy placing one person above another. Where empathy is about feeling one another and everything that’s being exposed.

As I’ve been struggling with the recent violence, insanity, and imbalance in my country. I contacted several friends I consider my soul group allies for support. Each one delivered a message and tools to assist moving my out of depression. But one of them shared something that actually was a lifeline for me. Her message helped me crawl out of the darkness I was sitting in. 

She said, what river do you want to be in, Riverann? Do you want to struggle against a cult consciousness you can’t change? Or do you want to thank those who are giving their lives to wake up the planet, like Renee Good? The mother, recently shot and killed by ICE in the US. She reminded me, there are many here who have come into this world with a soul agreement, they would sacrifice themselves for the good of all.

She continued to say, “Perhaps you can go to Renee Good in your heart and meditation, and thank her for her sacrifice. Or recognize the innovative genius of people in Minnesota and across this country. Who are navigating the darkness with creative solutions. You can choose to swim in a different river. The river of light you came in. The one that sparkles of you and your gifts to the world. That’s where to focus your thoughts.”

I felt grateful, as light began moving back into my head and heart with this new direction. And I understood, that if we allow the darkness to consume us, it keeps us from accessing the strength of our spirit. So if we chose - and trust me it is a choice; to swim in a dark river. We add to the negative energy we’re fighting. 

Instead, recognize those that are creativity moving through it, and exercising their strength in the midst of excessive fear. They are the witnesses for us, that the monsters are not winning! 

Thank you, Catherine! Do yourself a favor listeners and check out my three part interview in Season One with Catherine Stefanavage. Her amazing courage, determination, gratitude for everything she’s experienced is a remarkable testimony of the human spirit.  

When violence becomes the justification for bending free will. It defines the state of awareness of a person. If we look at history, religion, government, and education. The desire for power and control over human thought has always ruled societies. By creating fear with horrific human sacrifices. world leaders were able to dampen the human spirit, and delayed our human evolution. 

Forgive me for this dark analysis of the reality we’re in. But it’s important to acknowledge the truth of human civilization. We’re living in a time where human sacrifice is not just in the movies. It’s become an everyday event in our communities. The methods may have changed, the targets haven’t. The patriarchal deceptions of the ruling class are designed to convince us that a new world order is coming.

The truth is, a new world is coming… but it’s not from the old paradigm of male domination. It’s birthed from the womb of creativity — the feminine  nurturer, protector, and the defining spirit of love in each of us. The love we entered this world with as children. 

It’s forcing us to look at who are, and what we’re becoming. Trauma, created by ignorance - that desires no education, judgement - that wants no release, and sympathy instead of empathy, serve to delay opportunities to evolve into conscious, loving human beings. 

In these horrific times, we’re being asked us to raise our life frequencies, open our hearts, and embrace something greater than human desire or retribution. We have an opportunity to choose a different path, and transform our world. To create an existence where we bathe in the love of becoming a whole person, void of nothing.

The old energies of greed, control, and survival of the fittest are still the world’s theme for humanity. They symbolize a currency of fear, hypnosis, and rationalization that keeps us from discovering a path to heart math. Because judgment and blame are ugly energies that exist to devour any potential good.

Did you know that literally a moment before Renee Nicole Good was shot in Minnesota. She looked at the man who killed her and said in a soft voice, “Hey dude, I’m not mad at you.” Imagine the sacrifice she made to wake us up. About the toll that rage and fear are having on our lives. 

I feel like people have been programmed to disconnect with the sacred part of themselves. Because if they were aligned with their hearts, they’d feel these human sacrifice of this world, as losing a little bit of themselves. 

There are many events occurring throughout our world to bring us back into alignment with love. Throughout history they have all been horrific. But each time we hopefully move a step forward. I think we’re presently in a repeat mode. And it’s time to recognize this cycle must finally end!

I confess. I sometimes struggle with seeing the good, and embracing the light. However, by reaching out to others and sharing my heart. I discovered tools to overcome the paralysis.

Gandhi said, “When I despair, I remember that all through history, the way of truth and love has always won. There have been tyrants and murderers. And for a time, they seem invincible. But in the end, they always fall. Think of it -”

We’re all connected. And the events in our world today make it challenging to grow. At least, that’s what the ego tells us. But if we explore new ways to view these moments… that allow our hearts to expand instead of contract. We reinforce our strength and perseverance as we rebuild hope.

I want to suggest we all, call on those we know as our spirit’s allies. Like my friend who ask me, “What river I wanted to hang out in?” These are our soul connections to love and intuitive inspiration. With them we embrace the positive instead of the negative. Know these connections exist, if we reach out to them. 

As we accept responsibility for what we are creating in this moment. The veil to a New Earth grows thinner. Know it will dissolve, as the known world moves out of the way. But this is our responsibility. And it requires trust to embrace a higher power over the physical illusions of this world. 

Our opportunities to grow are aligned love, nothing else. They are the pearls of wisdom that connect us to peace, abundance, strength, and the joy of living. What will you choose? The false safety of a familiar past? Or a future you create, filled with unlimited possibilities and meaningful change.
