“The idea is that there is a kind of memory in nature. Each kind of thing has a collective memory. So, take a squirrel living in New York now. That squirrel is being influenced by all past squirrels. And how that influence moves across time, the collective squirrel-memory both for form and for instincts, is given by the process I call morphic resonance. It’s a theory of collective memory throughout nature. What the memory is expressed through are the morphic fields, the fields within and around each organism. The memory processes are due to morphic resonance…”

-Rupert Sheldrake (Plant Physiologist)

“Morphogenetic fields can be used to describe how the human consciousness is shared. The Morphogenetic fields therefore play the main role in the idea that humanity at one point in time will go thru a dramatic collective shift in consciousness. A shift that will happen when the critical mass for a shift is reached, or in other words, when a certain number of spiritually awakened individuals are reached.”

” It also appears that this shift is resulting in the polarization of people into two different groups: those calling for a higher level of consciousness based upon a love-centered approach to life, and those who cannot let go of their fear-based, self-serving ways of living.

There are good reasons to believe that this vibrational energy will continue to escalate as we head towards 2012. One cannot deny that there is an enormous amount of change taking place at a very rapid rate.

Clearly, one can begin to see that institutions and organizations, whose philosophies are based upon fear, deception, separation, and self-serving interests are beginning to lose credibility, and will now crumble and die. Good examples are today’s greedy corporations and equally greedy business leaders, the White House, the military, FBI, CIA, the Vatican/Catholic Church, Israel, and many others to numerous to mention. Their karma is due. Their moment of truth has come.

On the contrary, new groups and organizations that desire a peaceful and sacred approach to life based upon love, honor, respect, self-responsibility and sharing are beginning to strengthen and flourish. They know that the outcome of goodness during the dawning Age of Aquarius is inevitable. They also realize that Aquarius will be a time when we will learn to live kindly, speak works of gentleness and wisdom, release our self-centered ways, and reconnect with our soul.

As for me, I am trying my best to stay God-centered, loving, fearless, in the moment and totally dependent upon Source for all that comes into my life. And I will not move from that sacred place regardless of what the future might bring.”

‘Following My Path’ by Mario Duguay

Toward the gardens,
Toward the orchards,
I am going.
If you want to stay here,
Stay here -
I am going!
My day is dark without His Face,
Toward that bright flame
I am going.

My soul is racing ahead of me.
It says, The body is too slow for me -
I am going.

The smell of apples arises
from the orchard of my soul.
One whiff and I am gone -
Toward a feast of apples
I am going.

A sudden wind won’t blow me over.
Toward Him, like a mountain of iron,
I am going.

My shirt is ripped open
with the pain of loss.
Searching for a new life,
with my head held high,
I am going.

I am fire, though I seem like oil -
Seeking to be the fuel of His fire,
I am going.

I appear as a steady mountain
Yet bit by bit,
Toward that tiny opening
I am going.
