The Tenth Insight: Holding the Vision (26 page)

We saw a new consensus emerging toward crime that drew from both traditional and human-potential ideas. In the short run,
there would be a need for new prisons and detention facilities, as the traditional truth was recognized that returning offenders
to the community too soon, or leniently letting perpetrators go in order to give them another chance, reinforced the behavior.
Yet, at the same time, we saw an integration of the Insights into the actual operation of these facilities, introducing a
wave of private involvement with those incarcerated, shifting the crime culture and initiating the only rehabilitation that
works: the contagion of remembering.

Simultaneously, as increasingly more people awakened, I saw millions of individuals taking the time to intervene in conflict
at every level of human culture—for we all were reaching a new understanding of what was at stake. In every situation where
a husband or wife grew angry and lashed out at the other, or where addictive compulsions or a desperate need for approval
led a youthful gang member to kill, or where people felt so restricted in their lives that they embezzled or defrauded or
manipulated others for gain; in all these situations, there was someone perfectly placed to have prevented the violence but
who had
failed
to act.

Surrounding this potential hero were perhaps dozens of other friends and acquaintances who had likewise failed, because they
didn’t convey the information and ideas that would have created
the wider support system for the intervention to have taken place: In the past perhaps, this failure could have been rationalized,
but no longer. Now the Tenth Insight was emerging and we knew that the people in our lives were probably souls with whom we
had had long relationships over many lifetimes, and who were now counting on our help. So we are compelled to act, compelled
to be courageous. None of us wants to have failure on our conscience, or have to bear a torturous Life Review in which we
must watch the tragic consequences of our timidity.

As the scenes rushed past, we saw this burgeoning awareness motivating activity toward other social problems as well. We could
see an image of the world’s rivers and oceans, and again I observed a synthesis of the old and new which, while admitting
the often capricious behavior of government bureaucracy, also raised to a new level of priority the human desire to safeguard
the environment, initiating a surge of private intervention.

The wisdom was emerging that, as with the problem of poverty and violence, the crime of pollution always has compliant bystanders.
People who would never consciously pollute the environment themselves worked with or knew about others whose projects or business
practices damaged the planet’s biosphere.

These were the people who in the past had said nothing, perhaps because of job insecurity or because they felt alone in their
opinion. Yet now, as they awakened and realized they were in exactly the right position to take action, we watched them rally
public opinion against the polluters—whether it was the dumping of industrial wastes into the ocean in the dead of night,
venting excess oil from a tanker far at sea, secretly using banned insecticides on commercial vegetable plots, leaving the
scrubbers off at an industrial plant between inspections, or faking the research on the dangers of a new chemical. No matter
what the
crime, now there would be
inspired
witnesses who would feel the support of grassroots organizations offering rewards for such information, and who would take
their camcorders and expose the crime themselves.

Similarly we observed the environmental practices of governments themselves being exposed, especially regarding policies toward
public lands. For years, it would be discovered, governmental agencies had sold mining and logging rights on some of the most
sacred places on Earth, at below-market rates, as political favors and paybacks. Majestic, cathedral forests, belonging to
the public, had been unbelievably pillaged and clear-cut in the name of proper forest management—as though planting rows of
pine trees would replace the diversity of life, and energies, inherent in a hardwood forest that had matured for centuries.

Yet it would be the emerging spiritual awareness that would finally force an end to such disgrace. We watched a new coalition
forming, made up of old-view hunters and nostalgic history buffs and those who perceived the natural sites as sacred portals.
This coalition would finally sound the alarm that would save the few remaining virgin forests in Europe and North America,
and begin to protect on a larger scale the essential rain forests in the tropical regions of the world. It would be commonly
understood that every remaining site of beauty must be saved for the benefit of future generations. Cultivated plant fibers
would replace the use of trees for lumber and paper, and the remaining public land would all be protected from exploitation
and used to supply the exploding demand to visit such unspoiled and energizing areas of nature. At the same time, as intuition
and awareness and remembering expanded, the developed cultures would finally turn to the native peoples of the world with
a new respect and appreciation,
eager to integrate a mystical redefinition of the natural world.

The holographic scene moved forward again, and I could see the wave of spiritual contagion permeating every aspect of culture.
Just as Charlene had foreseen earlier, every occupational group was beginning consciously to shift its customary practice
toward a more intuitive and ideal level of functioning, finding its spiritual role, its vision of true service.

Medicine, led by individual practitioners who focused on the spiritual/psychological genesis of disease, was moving from the
mechanical treatment of symptoms toward prevention. We could see the legal profession moving from the self-serving methods
of creating conflict, and obscuring truth in order to win, into its true role of resolving conflict in the most “win-win”
manner possible. And just as Curtis had seen, everyone involved in business, industry by industry, was shifting into an enlightened
capitalism, a capitalism oriented not just to profits, but to filling the evolving needs of spiritual beings, and making these
products available at the lowest possible prices. This new business ethic would produce a grassroots deflation, initiating
a systematic evolution toward an eventual full automation—and ultimately the free availability—of the basic necessities of
life, liberating humans to engage in the spiritual “tithe” economy envisioned in the Ninth Insight.

As we continued to watch, the scenes accelerated forward, and we could see individuals remembering their spiritual missions
at increasingly younger ages. Here we could see the precise understanding that would soon embody the new spiritual world-view.
Individuals would come of age and remember themselves as souls born from one dimension of existence into another. Although
memory loss during the transition would be expected,
recapturing pre-life memory would become an important early goal of education.

As youths, our teachers would first guide us through the early experience of synchronicity; urge us to identify our intuitions
to study certain subjects, to visit particular places, always looking for higher answers as to why we were pursuing these
particular paths. As the full memory of the Insights emerged, we would find ourselves involved with certain groups, working
on particular projects, bringing in our full vision of what we had wanted to do. And finally we would recover the underlying
intention behind our lives. We would know that we came here to raise the vibratory level of this planet, to discover and protect
the beauty and energy of its natural sites, and to ensure that all humans had access to these special locations, so that we
could continue to increase our energy, ultimately instituting the Afterlife culture here in the physical.

Such a worldview would especially shift the way we looked at other people. No longer would we see human beings merely in the
racial dress or national origin of one particular lifetime. Instead, we would see others as brother or sister souls, engaged,
like us, in a process of coming awake and of spiritualizing the planet. It would become known that the settling of certain
souls into various geographical locations on the planet had occurred with great meaning. Each nation was, in fact, an enclave
of specific spiritual information, shared and modeled by its citizens, information waiting to be learned and integrated.

As I watched the future unfold, I could see that a world political unity, envisioned by so many, was finally being achieved—
not by forcing all nations into subservience to one political body, but rather through a grassroots acknowledgment of our
spiritual similarities while treasuring our local autonomy and cultural differences.
As with individuals interacting in a group, each member of the family of nations was being recognized for this culture truth
represented to the world at large. Before us, we saw Earth’s political struggles, so often violent, shifting into a war of
words. As the tide of remembrance continued to sweep the planet, all humans began to understand that our destiny was to discuss
and compare the perspectives of our relative religions and, while honoring the best of their individual doctrines at the personal
level, ultimately to see that each religion supplemented the others and to integrate them into a synthesized global spirituality.

We could see clearly that these dialogues would result in the rebuilding of a grand temple in Jerusalem, jointly occupied
by all the major religions—Jewish, Christian, Islamic, Eastern, even the de facto religion of secular idealism, represented
by those economic enclaves in China and Europe who thought primarily in terms of a pantheistic economic utopia. Here, ultimate
spiritual perspective would be debated and discussed. And in this war of words and energy, at first the Islamic and the Jewish
perspectives would hold center stage, then the Christian perspective would be compared and integrated, along with the inner
vision of the Eastern religions.

We saw the awareness of humanity entering another level, with the collective human culture progressing from primarily the
sharing of economic information to the synchronistic exchange of spiritual truths. As this occurred, certain individuals and
groups would begin to reach levels approaching that of the Afterlife dimension and would disappear to the larger majority
remaining on Earth. These select groups would walk intentionally into the other dimension, yet would learn to go back and
forth— just as the Ninth Insight predicts and the scriptural prophets saw. Yet, after this Rapture began, those left on Earth
would understand
what was occurring and accept their role in remaining in the physical, knowing that they would soon follow.

Now it was time for the secular idealists to proclaim their truths on the temple steps. At first their energetic thrust into
Jerusalem would come from Europe with its primarily secular vision, with one strong leader proclaiming the spiritual importance
of secular matters. This perspective would be met strongly by the determined “otherworldly” spiritualism of the Muslims and
the Christians. But then this conflict of energy would be mediated and later synthesized into one by the inner spiritual emphasis
of the Eastern perspective. By then, the last attempts of the controllers, who had once conspired to create a tyrannical society
of chips and robots and forced compliance, would have been won over by the contagion of awakening. And this last synthesis
would open everyone to the final infusion of the Holy Spirit. We saw clearly that through this Middle Eastern dialogue of
energy integration, history had fulfilled the scriptural prophecies in a
symbolic and verbal
manner, avoiding the physical apocalypse expected by the literalists.

Suddenly our focus shifted to the Afterlife dimension, and here we could see with great clarity that our intention all along
was not merely to create a New Earth, but a New Heaven as well. We watched as the effect of the World Vision remembrance transformed
not only the physical dimension but also the Afterlife. During the raptures on Earth, the soul groups would also have been
rapturing toward the physical, completing the transfer of energy into the expanded physical dimension.

Here the full reality’of what was happening in the historical process became apparent. From the beginning of time, as our
memory opened, energy and knowledge had systematically moved from the Afterlife dimension into the physical. At first,
the soul groups in the Afterlife had borne full responsibility for maintaining the intention and envisioning the future, helping
us to recall what we wanted to do, giving us energy.

Then, as consciousness on Earth progressed and the population increased, the balance of energy and responsibility had slowly
shifted toward the physical dimension, until, at this point in history, when enough energy had shifted and the World Vision
was being remembered, the full power and responsibility for believing and creating the intended future would be shifting from
the Afterlife to the souls on Earth, to the newly forming groups,to
us!

At this point,
we
have to carry the intent. And that’s why it now fell to us to resolve the polarization and to help shift the particular individuals,
right here in this valley, who were still caught in the Fear and who felt justified in manipulating the economy for their
own purposes, justified in seizing control of the future.

At exactly the same time, all four of us glanced at each other in the darkness, the hologram still surrounding us, the soul
groups still merged in the background, glowing brightly. Then I noticed a huge hawk fly onto a limb ten feet above the group
and gaze down at us. Beneath it, less than five feet away, a rabbit hopped to within three feet of my right elbow and stopped,
followed seconds later by a bobcat, who sat directly beside it. What was happening?

Abruptly a silent vibration tingled my solar plexus; the experiment had been reactivated!
