A
new spiritual awakening is occurring in human culture, an awakening
brought about by a critical mass of individuals who experience their
lives as a spiritual unfolding, a journey in which we are led forward
by mysterious coincidences.

This
awakening represents the creation of a new, more complete worldview,
which replaces a five-hundred-year-old preoccupation with secular
survival and comfort. While this technological preoccupation was an
important step, our awakening to life's coincidences is opening us up
to the real purpose of human life on this planet, and the real nature
of our universe.

We
now experience that we live not in a material universe, but in a
universe of dynamic energy. Everything extant is a field of sacred
energy that we can sense and intuit. Moreover, we humans can project
our energy by focusing our attention in the desired direction...where
attention goes, energy flows...influencing other energy systems and
increasing the pace of coincidences in our lives.

Too
often humans cut themselves off from the greater source of this energy
and so feel weak and insecure. To gain energy we tend to manipulate or
force others to give us attention and thus energy. When we successfully
dominate others in this way, we feel more powerful, but they are left
weakened and often fight back. Competition for scarce, human energy is
the cause of all conflict between people.

Insecurity
and violence ends when we experience an inner connection with divine
energy within, a connection described by mystics of all traditions. A
sense of lightness--buoyancy--along with the constant sensation of love
are measures of this connection. If these measures are present, the
connection is real. If not, it is only pretended.

The
more we stay connected, the more we are acutely aware of those times
when we lose connection, usually when we are under stress. In these
times, we can see our own particular way of stealing energy from
others. Once our manipulations are brought to personal awareness, our
connection becomes more constant and we can discover our own growth
path in life, and our spiritual mission--the personal way we can
contribute to the world.

Knowing
our personal mission further enhances the flow of mysterious
coincidences as we are guided toward our destinies. First we have a
question; then dreams, daydreams, and intuitions lead us towards the
answers, which usually are synchronistically provided by the wisdom of
another human being.

We
can increase the frequency of guiding coincidences by uplifting every
person that comes into our lives. Care must be taken not to lose our
inner connection in romantic relationships. Uplifting others is
especially effective in groups where each member can feel energy of all
the others. With children it is extremely important for their early
security and growth. By seeing the beauty in every face, we lift others
into their wisest self, and increase the chances of hearing a
synchronistic message.

As
we all evolve toward the best completion of our spiritual missions, the
technological means of survival will be fully automated as humans focus
instead on synchronistic growth. Such growth will move humans into
higher energy states, ultimately transforming our bodies into spiritual
form and uniting this dimension of existence with the after-life
dimension, ending the cycle of birth and death.

The Tenth Insight is the realization that throughout history human beings have been
unconsciously struggling to implement this lived spirituality on Earth.
Each of us comes here on assignment, and as we pull this understanding
into consciousness, we can remember a fuller birth vision of what we
wanted to accomplish with our lives. Further we can remember a common
world vision of how we will all work together to create a new spiritual
culture. We know that our challenge is to hold this vision with
intention and prayer everyday.

The Eleventh Insight is the precise method through which we hold the vision. For centuries,
religious scriptures, poems, and philosophies have pointed to a latent
power of mind within all of us that mysteriously helps to affect what
occurs in the future. It has been called faith power, positive
thinking, and the power of prayer. We are now taking this power
seriously enough to bring a fuller knowledge of it into public
awareness. We are finding that this prayer power is a field of
intention, which moves out from us and can be extended and
strengthened, especially when we connect with others in a common
vision. This is the power through which we hold the vision of a
spiritual world and build the energy in ourselves and in others to make
this vision a reality.
