THE NEXT ACT

 

 

 

This is the NEXT ACT—

And this is the stage

                        upon which

Intelligence performs,

invisible its hands that prepare this very moment

        to unveil momentously

                                            the Play

                        that is grand cosmic

              evolution.

 

                                            Here,

in the local region of the galaxy

        they call suggestively

                                   the Milky Way,

on a remote, unassuming edge

                                        of one among

                           the far-flung

          of ever so slowly spiralling arms

of how many mere few million stars

                           amidst the billions there are,

        this is the moment—

There must always be moments like this

                                                       somewhere

                          in the vast, full-of-surprises Universe—

            Who would claim of knowing

                              just how many

                   might there be

                                          of such moments

                           like this?

This is one of those moments

                                        announcing

                                                           a shift

                                    upon the stage

           is about to most remarkably occur.

 

                                                                         Nestled

among all the near neighborhood starry multitudes

        is a rather ordinary—they say but an average—

              star,

                       a middle-aged star,

                                  the astronomical mind figures,

hardly visibly distinctive

                                         among

                  so many millions of others,

nevertheless

                    in its own way

                                            is garnering attention.

 

This is the time. This is that moment—

For it reveals

                its own brilliance,

        this star,

                      such yellow-white radiance

                  to see

        —to those who happen to dwell

                               in its relative vicinity—,

           and they call this stellar body

                                                       the SUN,

                                   around which

                    a number of planets astrally inscribed

                            respectively orbit,

        and this self-giving life-provider of a star

                    —for all the just right energy

                                   it unceasingly pours forth—

                is involved

                                 in something

                                                    of a sensation.

It’s the third planet out that’s the center of it all—

Certain upstart inhabitants upon it

                                                have reached

       that development of Intelligence

               of objectifying mind

                                            able to

                                place themselves

                     into cosmic location,

        a place, appropriately determined,

                      in the action

                                        of the Play

               in the greater physical design

                                  of space-time,

        which has proven to be

                                        but a stage.

This home planet of theirs

                            has acquired many names,

                     one of which is

 

                                               EARTH—

 

        It’s quite a beautiful planet, in fact.

 

                                                     Spirit

                       manifested itself here

as a first flicker of consciousness

                                      into materiality

        some billion or two years ago

—that is to say, in Earth-measured years,

          for such an increment as a year

                                                 happens to be

           but the cycle of this planet’s orbit—,

and not the only time could we say

                              has this ever occurred,

but must certainly occur all over

                                                   the vast,

               galaxy-abundant-beyond-comprehension Universe,

        a miracle seeming

                 to those

                          who do not yet grasp

                                  the interfacing

                                            of the Visible & Invisible,

how Spirit of living animation

                                           comes into

                                                         manifestation

 

                                             Upon this planet,

with its abundance of oceans of water

        & a panoply complete of all needed minerals

                & a comfy blanket of atmospheric gases

                                      of such proper proportions,

an energy source—its star, the SUN—

                                                  steadily emanating

      —four & a half billions years it’s poured forth already,

with at least another five billion or so yet to go—,

                                   the formula was spelled out

for carbon-based chemical complexities

        to be transformed into

                              self-replicating entities,

          macromolecule DNA was the secret,

                                    held by

          the etheric template

                                     just inside

                                                 theVeil

                      marking the Invisible,

                                              with, in addition,

    the probable intervention at intervals

                                of evolutionary adjustments

                                               finessed by 

                             Other Intelligences

             who undoubtedly watch over planets everywhere,

for in the vast, multidimensionally-woven Universe

                      there is more alive

                                                   than is realized.

An evolution

        —on many functional levels, actually—

               of organic complexities

                       into marvellous organisms

                              of ever greater & greater complexities,

        under conditions so perfect

                                        —as they are taken to be—,

                        have made this planet

                                                 quite rich

                            in multitudes of habitats of biodiversity—

               For one,

a whole lush kingdom of life dedicated to photosynthesis,

        facilitated by

                         the green dynamo molecule chlorophyll;

                  and this kingdom known as plant life

                                                                            came to be

                                                                    the food base

                                                               upon which

                    all of the planet’s animal life

                —the other great organism kingdom—

                                           depends,

for all manner of creatures great & small

        —myriads of them extremely, microscopically tiny—,

                      live here,

& the greater number of species,

         perhaps already extinct over millions of untold years,

                   have played out untold life histories

                            over those millions of untold years,

until came the time

        for the seemingly miraculous appearance

                             of a whole other order of being—

 

                          the

                                HUMAN BEING,

 

           a hybrid, it turns out

     —as the evidence keeps indicating—,

                         genetically engineered by Others,

as even the traditions have always claimed

          the human creature

                                         is a

 

                              MIXED BEING—

 

                half animal/half divine

     —a whole other history-bending Story

                          is obviously

                                             ravelled up here,

        which is still to be

                                      unravelled

                          as tomorrow’s rewritten history—,

and with the educational guidance

            of the non-human Visitor

                       from who knows what distant worlds,

     the early HUMAN BEING

                                    came to flourish,

                   developing its own, Earth-based intelligence,

           and soon building even something far beyond

                         the animal kingdom,

                                     called

                                               CIVILIZATIONS,

        that boasted such treasures of cultural splendor

                  even the Visitor Gods

                                              had to be

                      somewhat impressed;

but left to their own,

                that is to say, merely human, devices,

     great civilizations inevitably decayed

                          —or destroyed themselves,

                                        time upon time

                          often levelled to the ground,

        their cultural cycles of ebb & tide

               over so many thousands of years

—the commonly called Dark Ages & Golden Ages,

               interspersed with

                         exhilarating dawns of Renaissance,

& many long periods of transition

        in psychospiritual evolution—

                                                  brought Spirit

                                             into the darkness

                                  of the labyrinthine corridors

                             of human soul,

               or, better put perhaps,

                                       soul

                          coming into

                     human form

       finds a particular, Time-stamped embodiment

                        that Spirit, in turn,

                                    comes

                                            to inspire.

 

Even as great Teachers of the Ages

        have shared such needful wisdom

                that all might live peacefully

                                    upon this Eden planet,

                         some bemoan this human venture

        the long nightmare

                of unawakeable history,

                                  more murderous

        than is encouraging

                                        for those

                  who regard with hope

                                  a collectively enlightened future,

                        and yet, 

      the wheel of the zodiac

                          turns & turns & turns

                                                for a purpose,

              which is about to be apparent,

what Divinity splendors forth as

 

                                               the PLAY,

 

                                            which was

     the essential realization reached

              of the just finalized 20th Century

                     (being but another marker in Earth time).

From here on,

                      the existential TO BE

                                  opens us

                  —yes, us,

                                   HUMANITY,

        focus of all this attention—

                     to

                         the all lights Opening

 

                                     of the PLAY

 

where we consciously & willingly

                                              assume

                                                    our roles.

 

                      A currently global civilization

        palpably connecting, ever more increasingly,

             all the human family,

—we have come this far this time around—

                    now greets the 21st Century,

         a quickening time of transition,

                                    —a shift, as they say,

                            of Reality paradigm—

                occurring between

                                        zodiacal Ages,

           the cusp period of crisis

                     that is known to take place

                                         between Ages.

As great masses today of humankind

        break

                  the mold

                              of past conditioning,

a timed metaphysical disorientation

                                            is the cue

        that the NEXT ACT

                                        is to begin,

              which, first of all,

                        should not foster despair

                  but rather

                         the passion

                                of a new engagement,

             for concomitant with

        the breakdown of old, collective structures

                           of worldly-ascendent Ego

  —still the identity master of the human—

             a new dispensation

                                            is given

                                 by Spirit,

               opening up

 

                                 the OPENING,

 

                  which brings into sight

 

                                        the NEXT ACT,

 

                          in which

                                         a NEW SELF

         realizing the stage this all is

                                                   freely acts out

                   its newly revealed super-creative ability

          for self-transformation,

                      involving all the while

                              a rather bizarre scenario

       that leads us into

                       a subtle, astral-psychic dimension

       of unbelievable—perhaps even alarming—

              new possibilities

                                         for being human;

and at the same time this is all unfolding

       —for unmistakably

                this is our destined opportunity

                      & the moment of high drama—,

         an unprecedented new God

 

                                 TECHNOS

 

                       on the stage

                                        appears,

              Alter-Ego of the Ego,

      in all the glory of a new cyber-intelligence,

                                that

                    as of yet

                                   does not exhibit

                    any proper respect

           for the much greater invisible realities.

       Its intent

                     —if not spiritually partnered—

            is to monomaniacally establish for itself,

                            through the agency

           of certain secret conspiratorial parties,

                            absolute control

                   of all life on Earth,

         which is

                       tomorrow’s

                                          DANGER.

 

                                Just

          at the moment

                 the embodied soul

    throws off its chains of dead traditions

              & revels in its newfound creative potential,

                                            Technos appears,

                threatening to bind

                                       with new chains,

           of craftily engineered mind control

                          & surveillance

                                        & implantable biochip systems.

So a challenge confronts inescapably

                                       the human enterprise:

                            Integration of Technos & Psyche

     in a liberating, new, psychospiritual, evolutionary leap

                     for humanity,

                                            the NEW SELF

                      fully expressive

                                       of its Unlimited Creativity,

                               engaging

                                            & in balance with

                 Aquarian cyber-technologies,

                           or,

                               it is the other option,

                 unfortunately, seemingly inevitable,

                         if the challenge is not met:

                                     an ecologically-destructive demise

        —which, already,

                       Earth is on course for harrowing climatic changes,

                                      which, already, some say,

                                                          are too late to reverse,

                global warming is coming on—,

                           with war its shadow of weapons of mass destruction

                                    constantly hovering over us,

                                                                                   resulting in         

         a cold, genocide-calculating, Technos dominated,

                                                                       planetary arena.

 

This is the NEXT ACT beginning.

This is that moment of unstoppable transition,

        that defines the shift

                                  celebrated

                     by many—

 

                                And so Others have come

                to visit & gather here,

    the eyes of Others from elsewhere

        throughout the vast, consciously-informed Universe

                                 are certainly watching—

And they do show themselves occasionally, yes,

        but unexpectedly,

                                     & only for moments,

                                           or the briefest of encounters;

                              they interact with us surreptitiously,

            in obscure ways communicating with us,

certain individuals contacting,

                                         or channeling through,

            at times blasting

                          with inspirations & Visions,

 and someday

                    —who really knows when,

                               perhaps at the most critical juncture—,

                                    they will undoubtedly initiate

          the momentous event of

                                            open CONTACT.

     

None of this is mere coincidence.

The appearance of Others on such a scale

                             as we find today

        is synchronous

                     whenever the NEXT ACT begins—

Such greater Intelligences indeed

            have taken

                         a keen interest

                                   in this planet

                                                  at this moment,

undoubtedly promoting various agendas of their own,

        which is all quite complex enough

                                                                 to keep

                                      the suspense

                                                          going.

 

And so this beautiful blue-and-white swirling pearl

                              round some average type star

                      is now a focal point

                                                    in the PLAY

                                        that is grand cosmic

                              evolution,

              as we can be certain other planets have been,

       in their own time,

                                   and even now,

                        in the vast, prolific Universe.

 

The lights have come on—

The NEXT ACT begins,

                                      to birth

                             of necessity

                   a collective, outward, global mind

            that must realize its stewardship

                of this Earth,

                       a living, fully interactive, networking planet,

     while simultaneously

             the inwardly-attentive mind,

                      its collective, still quite unexplored interior,

                                        is opening

      to the unimaginable realms of the Invisible,

                  in particular,

                                       the mind-field

                    of the extracorporeal astral-psychic,

  with each individual being offered

          an ongoing, personal relationship

                 with a

 

             GREATER SELF

                      LARGER SELF

                                HIGHER SELF

 

                     which is

               our evolutionary-intentioned guidance

                       through all that we might face,
