Journey into Oneness
Summer 2010
A Wave of Unity Rolls In
By Deborah Knighton Tallarico
Aka: El’elia Jahmika Christos
As we enter the Summer Season of 2010, I don’t think anyone could deny the enormous change that is upon us. There are tremendous earth and climate changes, powerful volcanic eruptions and earthquakes, world-wide economic shifts, and the deeply sad and disturbing Gulf of Mexico oil spill which is what is grabbing our attention most these recent days. It is weighing heavy in our hearts, minds and souls, and bringing tears for many. Our Mother Earth is crying out! The sea animals are suffering, and we just can’t sit by and watch any more. It is time for Spiritual Action and most of us can feel this strongly in our hearts and souls.
At times there is a profound feeling of powerlessness in regards to the oil spill that just keeps gushing out with no real signs of being stopped, with threats of more and more damage to our eco-system and our oceans, loss of sentient sea life, not to mention the effects it is having on the coastal communities that are directly effected by the spill. I live near the ocean in Maine, and I can’t even imagine what it must be like to have the beautiful ocean full of oil and all the innocent sea creatures suffering and washing up on the shore. It is devastating to even imagine, and painful to see in photos that are emerging from the Gulf!
One thing that is evident through this Gulf crisis is that it is getting our attention across the Earth and it is beginning to bring us together as a human family. Sometimes it takes a huge crisis to WAKE us up! When we don’t listen to the subtle signs, the Universe brings us big events to get our attention! And this is certainly a BIG SPIRITUAL WAKE-UP CALL!!!
With boycotts, global vigils and meditations throughout the world, this “earth crisis” is certainly inspiring us to bring our energies together to help in whatever way we can, and in a broader sense it is bringing us together for a greater transformation and awakening that is dawning on our beautiful Mother Earth Gaia.
This “crisis” is showing us that we can no longer afford to be run by greed, that we need to use new sources of renewable energy, that when one part of Mother Earth is affected it affects us all, as we are all INTERCONNECTED with each other!! It time for us to UNIFY our efforts, to bring our hearts and minds together to find a solution to this and other world crises!! It is time for us to UNIFY our efforts, our actions, our prayers, our collective visions and our sacred intentions. It is time for us to step up to the plate to care for our beautiful home, Mother Earth; to live in harmony with our brothers and sisters, with the Earth, her resources, the plants, animals and all things of life on our beautiful planet. We are ALL in this together! We are ALL Sacred and Our Mother Earth is Sacred! Let us join together as loving stewards, as the caretakers that we are for our beloved Earth and for one another!
Crisis=Opportunity
In the I-Ching, an ancient Chinese oracle, the word for Crisis is Opportunity. During these most potent and chaotic times on Earth, we must find a way to look at the “crises” we are faced with as opportunities for change and growth; as opportunities to bring us together as a human family, and to help move us into Unity Consciousness in alignment with the birthing of our New Earth.
Through all of this, it is so important for us to look at everything that occurs in the world and in our personal lives as part of the greater Divine Plan unfolding. Even if it is terribly painful, there is a greater lesson at hand, there is a purpose behind the “crisis” that teaches us something we all need to learn personally and as a human family. These “crises” are often catalysts for the change we need on our planet, in our local communities, and within our own hearts and souls!
As within, so without!
In seeing through the Universal Law of Reflection, whatever happens in our outer world is a reflection of what is within us, and visa versa as we are One with All-That-Is, we are interconnected, and we are One with our Mother Earth.
When we look at the current earth changes and oil crisis in this way, we can see that the outer world and Mother Earth are reflecting the enormous inner volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, and oil spills that are occurring within us as we go through our own deep transformations and changes. Something from deep within our very core, that has been there since ancient times (fossil fuel), is welling up and bursting forth, our inner terrain is shifting and moving quickly, and there is much to cleanse and clear in our inner and outer oceans, in our emotional bodies. There are deep wounds to heal, trauma to release, things to forgive and compassion to be found.
With all this shifting and cleansing, there is a great desire growing inside to come back into wholeness and simplicity once more, to heed the call of our deeper heart and soul, to come back into Unity with our True Self, to feel our wholeness, to remember our interconnectedness, and our Oneness with All-That-Is. There is a deep desire to come back into Unity Consciousness, to feel our Oneness with God, to Come Home once more!!
Interconnectedness
We are truly all connected, and when something happens in one area it affects us all. As the earth changes and human created disasters occur we are all feeling it. The ripple effects are expanding further and further and more and more of us are being touched by what is going on in our larger world. In a way our world is getting smaller and we are becoming more and more connected. We are seeing this in the world economy, when one country files bankruptcy it effects us all, through the volcano that closed down air travel across most of Europe, through the Chilean earthquake that shifted the axis of the Earth that we all inhabit together, and the gulf oil spill that has threatened to enter the Gulf stream.
Even though we still have a long way to go to resolve this Gulf Oil crisis and actually cap the spill, there are more and more global efforts, prayer vigils and meditations, more and more humanitarian and spiritual groups forming and taking action through various means. Through the internet on forums, face-book and web-sites, one can feel an amazing coming together of concerned people all over the earth who want to stop the oil spill, bring healing to the Gulf, to the oceans, to their brothers and sisters and Mother Earth Gaia. And this time more and more people are leaving FEAR and blame based reactions and are seeing this from a whole new perspective! People are approaching this crisis from a place of deep caring and compassion for Mother Earth, for the humans and sentient life that have been affected. More and more of us are visualizing and meditating on the oceans and the eco-systems being restored to wholeness and pristine beauty, the sentient sea creatures flourishing once more. Mother Earth is getting our attention and we are RESPONDING in a whole new way. We are bringing our hearts, our souls, and our minds together, bringing our LOVE and deep concern forth and many of us are coming together around this! We are being called to leave fear and blame and find a solution that is from a place of compassion. We cannot respond to this crisis from the old paradigm, we must approach it with great care and love holding the awareness that everyone involved in this, including BP, are our brothers and sisters. We cannot afford to make enemies of anyone “out there” anymore or conjure up conspiracy theories! That just doesn’t serve us, or our Planet anymore. We have to take personal responsibility for our part in this “crisis” and rise to the occasion in whatever ways we are guided, be it through action, prayer, sacred ceremony or whatever means resonate with our hearts and souls! Because “we truly are the Ones We’ve Been Waiting For.” We cannot rely on a president or any other leader “out there” to do it for us!
Divine Intervention
While we can’t sit back and wait for something or someone outside of us, there is a growing awareness that we need both Divine and Stellar intervention to help our Earth and many believe that our Star Brothers and Sisters are getting ready to make their presence known. More and more people are channeling messages from the Divine and Cosmic realms, from the Masters and other Spiritual guides who are shedding much light through their transmitted messages to help us through these times on Earth. The crop circles are revealing powerful symbols and messages from light years away. There is little denying that we are receiving great spiritual assistance from “beyond” to help us through this Great Shift of the Ages.
As the magnetic energy field of the earth is lessening, and the Schuman-Resonance frequency pulse, or heart-beat of Mother Earth, is revolving twice as fast, the veils between the worlds are getting thinner. As this happens more and more of us are getting messages and guidance ourselves, our intuitive abilities are getting stronger than ever before, and many are “seeing”, “hearing”, “feeling” and communicating with the unseen realms. Our connection with Spirit is getting more and more powerful. I cannot emphasize enough how important this is, because during these times we need our connection to Spirit, to God/Goddess All-That-Is, to Mother Earth, and to our own instincts, intuition and inner voice to guide us! With this sacred “connection” we will be guided to exactly where we need to be in every moment. This is what we will most need to rely on now! So do whatever you can, through meditation or whatever means you personally have that work for you, to stay calm and centered, to be deeply connected to nature, the seasons, the cycles, the natural rhythms, to your own heart-beat and the heart-beat of Mother Earth. Feel your resonance with the stones, the plants, the flowers, the sky, the waters, the trees, the elements, the animals and creatures, and each other. Remember to breathe! Focus your awareness on each moment! Be present! Live in the Now! Commune with nature, with the stars, the moon and the sun, with God/Goddess All-That-Is, with your brothers and sisters and your own Divine Presence! Nurture these connections now. Join in Comm-unity!!
A Call to Action
At this time millions of people are waking up from their slumber and feeling a call to action. Many are experiencing a deeper anchoring of their soul’s purpose on Earth, or at least a longing to know how they can be of greater service to the Whole of Mother Earth and the Universe during these times of great change. People are feeling more empowered in WHO they are and stepping up to the plate. Others are in great transition as they feel their “old world” crumbling away, shifting and changing, and something new getting ready to birth forth.
Us versus Them, Democrat versus Republican versus Green, Black versus White, Christian versus Muslim, Me versus You, are all part of the OLD paradigm. We can no longer afford to think this way anymore, we MUST come together to solve our world’s problems! We cannot afford to be separate or polarized any more! We need to come together, to reconcile our differences, and find NEW ways to live together on our Sacred Earth in Peace and Harmony, while honoring our unique viewpoints and contributions. Diversity within Unity!
The truth is that we are all so needed right NOW as we make this Great Shift of the Ages, including each of our own skills, abilities, sensitivities and talents. No one is greater or lesser than the other! We are ALL needed!! We are all part of this Great Shift of the Ages as One People living on our Sacred Earth together.

Summer of 2010
A Wave of Unity Rolls In
By Deborah Knighton Tallarico
As some of you might know from my previous articles, we are in the midst of the 6th night of the Galactic Cycle of the Mayan calendar, getting ready to move into the 7th day this coming November. After the 7th day we will enter the last and shortest cycle of creation, called the Universal Cycle, leading us into Unity Consciousness, the ending of the Mayan Calendar, into the year 2012 and beyond. As many of us believe, this signals the ending of the “old world” as we have known it, and the birth of the New Earth. Exciting times are upon us now and surely “this is the Eleventh hour”!
Dr. Carl Johan Calleman, one of the leading experts of the Mayan Calendar, believes that we cannot afford to wait for this last cycle to begin, that it is crucial that we initiate this New Wave of Unity Consciousness NOW through our individual and unified efforts. We need millions of people joined together with a collective intention and deep dedication to Unity Consciousness to birth this New Wave of Unity on Earth and to tip the scales towards Unity.
To help usher in this New Wave of Unity Consciousness, Calleman has seeded the Conscious Convergence, envisioned for the weekend of July 17th-18th. Much like the Harmonic Convergence of August 16th –17th, 1987 that ushered in the beginning of the New Age, the Conscious Convergence is planned to birth the New Wave of Unity Consciousness on Earth. During this weekend millions of people will gather worldwide to seed their deep intention for Unity Consciousness within themselves and upon our beautiful Mother Earth. What is so important about this, is that it cannot just be a weekend “event”, but must be a “seeding” of a long-term commitment on behalf of millions of people on our earth in order to tip the scales and reach the critical mass needed to move our Earth full speed ahead into the Universal Cycle of Creation, into Unity Consciousness and the New Golden Age on Earth. So what do we need to move into Unity Consciousness?
Let us first look at the definition of Unity? The many dictionaries define Unity as: “the state of being one, or united; oneness; singleness; something complete in itself; integrity: an undivided or unbroken completeness or totality with nothing wanting; the state or quality of being in accord; harmony; the combination or arrangement of parts into a whole; unification; singleness or constancy of purpose or action; continuity; the quality of being one in spirit, sentiment, purpose, etc.; concord; harmony; agreement; uniformity, a unified group or body; the quality or fact of being a totality or whole, esp. a complex that is a union of related parts.”
Inner Unity
Let There be Peace on Earth
and Let it Begin with Me
As you might imagine, Unity begins within us! In order enter Unity Consciousness on Earth, with all our brothers and sisters, we must first find Unity and peace within!
Now re-read the definition above looking at through the lens of your own inner Unity!
Inner Unity means bringing healing to all the parts and aspects of ourselves that are separated from each other, to those aspects that are in conflict, to those parts of ourselves that are polarized or dis-connected, and bringing them into a cohesive whole; into wholeness, oneness, harmony and unity once more. To do this, one must first have the intention for inner unity, then with conscious awareness to begin to resolve those inner conflicts, to make peace with one’s inner selves, and to bring awareness to all the areas of conflict within. It sometimes also means retrieving important aspects of our soul that we have perhaps lost along the way.
Compassion for all parts of ourselves as well as forgiveness are important components in this inner healing, as this is what will truly bring healing and inner reconciliation to the many aspects of our Soul. Journaling and having an inner dialogue between any disparaging or dis-connected parts of our self, will also bring healing and peace to our inner worlds. Dream-work, art & movement, energy-work, shamanic Soul retrieval, astrology, bodywork and counseling can also support this journey of inner unity!
Working with our belief systems and evolving our consciousness from one of separation to one of unity is of utmost importance. Simply beginning to see yourself and the world through the lens of Unity Consciousness will greatly help in this process.
As you can see, our inner soul-work is crucial to awakening peace and unity in our relationships and in our larger world. As we spoke of earlier, all that we see “outside” is a reflection of what is inside, so we can also look at all that triggers us, as a part of our self that we need to bring love and healing to. When we observe things in our outer world, we must begin to see it as a metaphor for what we can bring healing to in our inner world. As within, So without!
Unity with “All our Relations”
At this sacred time on Earth as we move into Unity Consciousness, it is also time for us to begin to see EVERYONE as our brother and sister, and to realize that we are all one human family on One Earth together! We are all an integral part of a larger whole! What we learn to do within ourselves to bring about inner unity, we must also learn to do within all our relationships.
This means looking at all our conflicts with others as a reflection of our own inner conflicts. Since we really are One, then everything I see outside is truly a reflection of me and visa versa. In the Mayan tradition, their sacred greeting to one another is: In lak’ech, which means I Am You and You are Me.
Developing Unity Consciousness on Earth, means looking at every relationship and every communication through this new lens of Unity and Oneness! Unity consciousness is not a state we arrive at, but it is an on-going practice. It means asking our selves in each moment, does this thought, this belief, this action, this communication, create separation or unity? How can I look at this situation, this relationship through the lens of Unity?
Start to practice looking at everyone you see as your brother and sister, as your relative, as your family, and begin to see yourself and God/Goddess within them! Try this for a while and it will change your life, and it will truly help Unity Consciousness flourish on our Earth.
Unified Field of Oneness & the Planetary Grid
It is also important to become aware of and attune to the “Unified Field” of Oneness and Love, also known as the Consciousness- Planetary Grid. The “Unified Field” can be described as a field, a web, or a grid that surrounds the earth and everything in life. It is a force that links and unifies all of creation together as One. Greg Braden has done a lot of work with the Unified field, and even modern scientists have named it, “nature’s intelligence”, the “Mind of God”, the “Quantum Hologram”, and are acknowledging that this field has been around since the beginning of creation, that it is everywhere, all the time. The “Grandmothers” call this the “Net of Light”. “Almost universally, ancient texts and traditions say to us, in the language of their time, that we are part of all that we see, that we are related through a Force to the events of our world, to one another, to the processes within our bodies and the Cosmos and beyond. In our most sacred traditions, this Force is described as all-powerful, something that permeates all of Creation. It's not "out there" somewhere. It is a part of ourselves as well as a part of all that we perceive.”…….“We are not simply a part of the Earth, these texts tell us. We are the Earth. We are not simply a part of the Force that governs all Creation. We are that Force.”–Greg Braden. We are a drop in the ocean, and we are the ocean in its’ totality! Awakening to this awareness will greatly help us move into Unity Consciousness!
So this summer really pay attention to the Unified Field of Oneness, to the Planetary Grid. Imagine this grid surrounding All-that-is as a great web of Light, Love and Oneness. Open your heart. Allow yourself to feel the love that radiates from this energy field/grid. Soak it in. Feel your connection and Oneness with nature, with Mother Earth, with your sacred Self, with your loved ones, with “all your relations”, with ALL your brothers and sisters, and with God/Goddess All-That-Is.
Let us make a deep commitment to bring Unity Consciousness to all aspects of our life, to our relationships and to our Self! Set your sacred intentions and begin practicing this in your everyday life! Together we can reach the critical mass, and truly tip the scales as we move into Unity Consciousness. Together we can heal all that is wounded and out of balance within us, in our relationships and upon our Earth! Together we can restore wholeness, harmony and oneness once more! Together, as One People, One Earth we can co-create the New Earth! The time is NOW!!
WISDOM FROM THE EARTH
Unlike most years I am referring you to Leo’s Perspectives from the Sky to fill you in on the astrological energies since this summer has so many powerful astrological aspects to be considered. I do want to stress however the importance of attuning to these sacred Earth, Lunar and other astrological passages and powerful moments through meditation and sacred ceremony. There will be more and more global meditations and ceremonies to honor these potent moments as we lead into 2012 and beyond.
As many of you know already, New Moons are powerful times to set your sacred seed intentions for the new lunar cycle and at the dark moon that precedes it to release and let go of any energies you no longer need before the new moon intentions begin. Often cleansing or burning ceremonies can be most helpful at this time. Each New Moon has its’ own unique energy and vibration to attune to as well with the Sun and Moon both conjoined in the same astrological sign.
Full Moons are a culmination of energy that has reached a peak, and are times to give thanks, to celebrate, and to open your self to receive the Divine Dispensations and powerful energies that are flooding the planet at these times. Full Moons are always a balancing act between the specific vibrations of the Sun and Moon since during a Full Moon they are in opposition to one another. Again, each Full Moon has its’ own unique balancing of vibrations to consider. Many Global Meditations and ceremonies are often scheduled for these times.
You can also go to Leo’s Perspectives From the Sky page and read his weekly astrological blog, as well as visit Wisdom from the Earth for information about the sacred seasonal passages. We are also starting a new e-newsletter that you are free to join that will include reminders and suggestions for honoring these sacred moments on earth and will include information about local and global gatherings, ceremonies and meditations so you can join with others in sacred comm-unity for these passages during these powerful times on Earth.
May you ride the great wave of transformation this Summer Season with Great Awareness, Openness, Grace and Ease! May you feel deeply connected to your sacred self, your heart, to your brothers and sisters, to Mother Earth and Father Sky, and to God/Goddess All-That-Is. May you and ALL beings be blessed in every way, in every moment and with every breath! May Peace, Love, Serenity, Grace, Unity and Oneness be with you always!! So be it and So it Is! Blessed Be! Blessed Be! Blessed Be!
IMAGINE by John Lennon
Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today...
Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace...
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one
Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world...
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one
