THE IMPORTANCE OF OUR SPIRITUALITY
IN CREATING THE NEW WORLD

By Jack Allis

             Creating the new world in times of paradigm shift is an obsession of mine.  Over the last 20 years I’ve written 4 books and 3 DVD’s on this, and in 2012 I transformed my own life in accordance with my teachings by moving to the remote mountains north of Mount Shasta California, where I live off the grid, with spring water and solar power, in an attempt to learn how to live sustainably and in harmony with nature.  It’s unfortunate that so few others even bother to deal with this topic.  Most people believe our world is so messed up that there’s nothing anybody can do about it.  Our political systems are certainly no match for the problems that exist.  This is because our old paradigm civilized world is dying.  It is in the final stages of its inevitable collapse.  This is a world that must die because it is so out of balance with nature and her laws.

But this is not bad news.  This world is too corrupt and contaminated by the forces of evil to be reformed from within.  As long as it is in place it is the single greatest impediment to our freedom and to any other meaningful change.  Plus, from the ashes of this dead world comes a magnificent opportunity to create a totally new world.  And I emphasize the word “opportunity” because this will not happen by itself.  It’s up to us, humanity, to make it happen. If we fail, humanity most certainly faces extinction.

There is only one way we can survive as a species and create the new world.  This is in small sustainable communities that live in harmony with Mother Earth and with the forces of nature.  These communities must also be in remote places, as far from big cities as possible, which are a major part of the problem and which will be places of chaos when the shift arrives.  No way, most people say at this point.  People just aren’t ready for that.  That may be, but it’s our only chance.  We also have hundreds of perfectly good models for how to do this in the ancient indigenous people of this planet, including the Maya, the Hopi and virtually every other Native American tradition.  These people have a very powerful message for us because they were successfully doing the one thing that has been lost in our civilized world that is responsible for its demise.  They were living sustainably, in harmony with nature, and they were doing it for hundreds, even thousands of years before they were wiped out by the imperialism of Western Civilization.  If we are to survive to create the new world, this is the model we must follow.

These indigenous communities had something else in common, which was the foundation of everything they did, including living sustainably, in harmony with nature.  This was their spirituality.  Their relationship with the Creator or the Divine Spirt was the most important thing in their life.  It was the source of everything.  And this spirituality was virtually identical in all of these traditions, even though most of them didn’t know about each other.  This is because it all came from the same source.  This was the loving relationship they had with the Earth, who they saw as their mother, and with the other forces of nature, which were their deities.  The Sun and the Moon were great spirits.  The air, the water and the soil were great spirits.  And they saw themselves as caretakers or servants of this web of life.

Ceremony was their primary means of practicing their spirituality and reaching out to connect with the world of the spirit.  This included prayer, which is talking to spirit, and gatherings around the sacred fire, with drumming and music, chanting and singing, and dancing.  This way of life allowed them to connect with the powers of the supernatural, which means not of this world.  If we are going to persevere in this great challenge to shift to a new paradigm, we are going to need to rely on these kinds of powers.

This spirituality is what allowed these indigenous sustainable communities to do what they did.  It was their fuel, their power.  This is what’s needed again today, and obviously it is not happening, at least not on a scale that makes any difference.  What’s needed today is something much bigger, a revolution, in which significant numbers of people receive this message, which is a very ancient one, and take action by changing the way they live.  There are three movements in today’s world that could be called revolutionary, where people are waking up to certain aspects of this, but they fall fatally short as far as understanding the big picture.  One is the New Age movement, which emphasizes our spirituality and which has reached mainstream popularity.   Another is the ET/UFO scene, which is all the vogue on Internet talk radio and which is pecking away at mainstream recognition.  Less popular than these is the conspiracy scene, where people are waking up to the conspiracy that holds the vast majority of humanity under a spell cast by the dark powers that rule the world.  Each of these only covers a small part of the total picture, and none of them offer solutions for how to fix our horribly insane world, at least not the correct ones.

Nothing short of a revolution is what is needed, the basis of which is the awareness of the essential importance of small sustainable communities with a spiritual base.  That is our sole salvation.  Along the way several other essential steps must be taken.  Sufficient numbers of humanity must break the spell that has been cast upon them by the matrix of illusion that is the old paradigm civilized world.  This begins by learning the truth about how this world really works, rather than the brainwashing from the media, the government and the entire mainstream system.  The truth is our world is owned and controlled by a tiny elite group of people, or beings, who operate in secret, and who own all the largest banks that create the money that enslaves us and who own the huge multi-national corporations that create the grid that enslaves us.

The old paradigm civilized world is the enemy.  It is the enemy of freedom and as long as it is in place it is the enemy of any meaningful change.  Once we learn the evils of this world, we must let go of it as much as possible, disengage from it. We must stop feeding it our energy.  When enough of us do, it will crumble and die.  We must reassume complete ownership and control of our own lives.  Therein lies the source of our greatest power.  And therein lies our protection when the old paradigm is no longer there to take care of us.  Along the way, a natural part of following this path is learning the vital importance of taking care of ourselves in small sustainable communities.  And a natural part of this is remembering our love for our Mother Earth and for all the other forces of nature that make this possible, which is the basis of our spirituality.  If we’ve made it this far, we will have the power to make all this happen.  And when enough of us do, we will change the world.
