The previous ice age before this one, lasted 100,000 years.
The Dryas Younger was a period of brutal and extreme cold that lasted approximately 1,300 years and forced migrant communities to come together and rely on each other for survival.
This reliance on one another was crucial as the old way of raising crops and gathering food wouldn't work under these brutal conditions and new ways had to be found of growing, cultivating and harvesting crops in order to live.
It is also suggested that this period of communication, this coming together, was the precursor to our modern civilization and modern farming methods.
Today, instead of coming together, we've separated ourselves from one another, opting instead to segment and compartmentalize ourselves into little groups whose differences continue to be ideologically and excuse driven, which leaves us fearful and distrustful.
All the while we are impervious and ignorant as to what we are doing to ourselves, collectively, as we grope and stumble our way in the dark.
Instead of today being a star on mankind's report card, it is more of an abysmal black smudge in which any hint of working together is scorned, the voice of reason is drummed out, common sense is attacked and compassion is considered a fault. Any parts of human flesh left hanging on the skeleton are then flogged and flayed into tiny little pieces and thrown into the pit.
However, even though today's news are full of carrion events and people that make no sense, leaving one reeling from reports of depravity and cruelty, devastation and horror, something is changing.
There is a quiet awakening taking place among many people today both young and old. I don't believe this is the result of another impending cosmic event like the one that may have happened 13,000 years ago, but just a cycle of completion as we are waking up. It is time for humanity to throw off the old way of doing and living and embrace the new earth that's coming.
13,000 years ago we had to come together. We had no choice. We were many with different ideas and habits but our survival took precedent and we realized that coming together in unity and love was the only way we'd have a chance of surviving.
Today, we're realizing the same thing, that coming together in unity and love will make a difference. It's only different in that we don't have some horrific event headed our way but, rather we're choosing to come together, of our own free will, not only for our own personal betterment but for the betterment of all.
The reason for this, I believe, is that we're finally realizing that our way of living on this planet isn't working very well.
How many of you think about this planet, how incredibly beautiful it is and how you can help it thrive? How many of you are finding out there's an inner connection between all things? How many of you sense that there's a better way of handling world problems? How many of you think there's a more holistic way of approaching diseases like cancer and diabetes? How many of you think we need to stop the endless wars in which young men and women come back battered and broken or don't come back at all? How many of you believe that living a simpler life is better than one where day to day living makes no sense? How many of you are turning away from alcohol and drugs because they just don't fill the void within you? How many of you feel a spiritual calling in which you are prompted to attend workshops, visit foreign countries, learn to become a shaman or healer and research and explore the innermost, hidden ways of the world? How many of you believe in a celestial life force in whose umbrella we are all under? How many of you are searching for something to believe in because the things available to you today make no sense? How many of you are sticking to a new diet because you feel more healthy?
This Awakening is a slow process because that is how the Universe operates. Be patient and kind, believe in yourself and your calling because the time is Now and your Purpose on this Planet is quietly Unfolding.
