The Mystic Paradigm: An Evolutionary Novel (22 page)

Talis exclaimed, “It’s Lillian and the Collective!”

From the large energy form came two smaller lights. They began to show familiar forms.

It was Jelina and Lillian. “Greetings, our Earth friends. It is a good day for all of us,” Lillian said to them. The energy collective was close by, almost looking like an extended aura from their forms with brillant strands of light connecting them all.

Joshua smiled. “Greetings. We are glad to see you and are thankful for the shamans to help.”

Jelina acknowledged their wisdom and power. “The shamans understand the basis of all our energy. I learned much from them. You will need to honor them and bring them more tightly into your Mystic Circles as you evolve. Their grounded earth energy allows for a healing connection to the other dimensions. This connection is essential for your next stage of consciousness.”

“Yes, we certainly will honor them,” Jasmine said in respect.

Jelina noted her presence immediately. “And you are Jasmine. We are so honored to have you to help us. Blessings to you.”

Jasmine bowed in respect to one of the matriarchs of the revolution and the mystics. “I am honored to be of service to you all. We are at the service to the Divine.”

Lillian beamed at her with intense love. “Oh Jasmine, I have watched you for so long. You are precious, a gifted mystic with an open heart.”

Jasmine smiled with delight. “I am grateful for your presence, Lillian. I feel like I have always known you.”

“We will continue to be connected, dear sister,” Lillian said. “Reach out to me whenever you need to.”

Jelina then turned everyone’s attention toward their task and quickly said, “We have very little time for the energy transfer in order to keep the vibrations stable for the earth and the greater universe. The shamans will not be able to hold this vibration for too long. We must begin very soon.”

“How can we help keep the energy stable?” Joshua asked. There was deep silence for awhile. It seemed Lillian and Jelina were communicating with the larger collective. After some time, Jelina spoke again.

“We think the Earth people will be stable with the energy fluctuation if we ascend quickly, but we ask one more thing of you Joshua. We feel it is time for the people to have direct access to our wisdom and our collective energy as well. As you know, we will bond with you to help with the bridge. This bond will connect us. As we leave our realm, we would like to also blend with your mind and spirit, Joshua. This will allow you to help even further with the transition. It will also allow us to share our knowledge with the people. The bridge between spirit and earth would grow stronger because of this. Would this be something you are willing to do?”

Joshua smiled and looked at everyone around him. Layia was also beaming with joy.

“Yes, I am willing to do this. I feel this is my calling for this lifetime. I have never felt so sure of something. How will this be done?”

Lillian spoke. “We will ascend in a few moments. We feel it is time for us to go. We have been the energy bridge for the time needed. Earth and its people have evolved and are ready for the next phase. Yet we will not be gone. We will live as part of the larger universe. And we will live and speak through you, Joshua, for the time being. There is nothing to prepare but accepting this collective energy. Layia will also have to agree to be your grounded energy. This grounded earth connection will allow you to access the Collective and keep you in the physical realm. It will mean you two will be bonded for this lifetime. You will need each other. It will take some commitment. We will not blend with you at all times, only when it is needed, but your life will become very different. We will be directly connected. Does this sound agreeable?”

“Yes, we are ready,” Joshua said confidently. He looked at Layia.

Layia acknowledged the request. “I am prepared for the task.”

Talis, being silent most of the conversation, had one important question. “And what of the Earth Child?”

Lillian smiled at him. “Dear Talis, you remind me so much of Markus. It will be such a joy to bond with you in this way.”

Talis inquired politely. “In what way?”

Lillian explained. “The child will be given to you for nurturing. Joshua will be our connection, but the child will grow into an independent spirit connected with us also. It will need all of your support to grow into a wise teacher.”

“I am honored, Lillian. And how will this be accomplished?”

“Soon, very soon, we will begin the transfer. Take care of the child, my dear Earth friends. You will know when it is done.”

Jelina motioned to them. “We will begin the ascension. It has been a wonderful time here and we are honored to have helped you. Thank you for your help also. We are now ready to move to the next level. As Earth people, you will be fine. You must remember to nurture each other and know that every experience is here to help you evolve. Have compassion for each other. Each experience is a miracle. Be grateful for your time on this beautiful planet. Your society has done so much to evolve. Life is ever-changing. If you accept this journey, it will bless you all with gifts beyond your imagination. Blessings be to all of you. We will see you on the other side.”

Lillian’s belly began to glow as they returned to the larger Collective. She said her goodbyes as they began to merge. “My love will always stay with you all. Remember to forgive one another for the past, as it was all meant to be for our new consciousness.”

The four young people stood in silence as the ascension took place. The large energy collective pulsated, changing colors as it slowly ascended to the other realm of spirit. Beautifully glowing, translucent strands of light seemed to float from them everywhere, like a matrix of energy, forming a web of radiant life. Joshua turned inward as he absorbed the Collective’s wisdom, forever merging with the wisdom of the mystics. Layia kept Joshua grounded with her earthly chakras knowing that this was her calling.

As this was occurring, Jasmine began to get very warm, her body pulsating with the energy of the matrix.

“What is happening to me, Talis?” she asked him nervously. She breathed slowly, trying to center. Suddenly a small glow of energy left the Collective and came toward Jasmine. She suddenly felt an immense peace as the energy form entered her, slowly merging within her body.

Talis watched all of this in amazement as he held tight to his love. “Don’t worry, Jasmine. Everything will be fine.”

They looked into each other’s eyes as she relaxed with the new presence within her. They now knew why Jasmine had been chosen to be part of the circle.

“Thank you, Lillian. Blessings, Grandfather,” Talis prayed as the Mystic Collective slowly disappeared.

Chapter 35

Earth Energy Rising:

Path of Experience

As word spread of the successful ascension of the mystics, of Joshua’s merge with them, and of the new Earth Child, there was great joy. The earth had indeed survived and the energy levels were stabilizing once again. They had reached a new level and were prepared to move ahead with awareness. The dark night of the collective soul had indeed awakened them.

As the mystics and shamans of Earth helped guide the larger population through this transition, there emerged a large collective healing force that helped shift the energy. What once was lost or buried was being revisited and healed. This wasn’t something that would happen overnight—it was an ongoing process, yet once the healing had started, the energy from it increased. Forgiveness and love had the power to heal so many things, as did letting go of fear. Belief played a big role as did a new, deeper connection with the earth. Their strengthened belief in each other and their society started to change people on the cellular level as the body quickly absorbed this new healing energy.

The mystic leaders continued to help the people pray and meditate on this healing. The scientists held seminars and teachings to help remind people of their energy and how to take care of it. The grounded activists that had helped shape the cultural system supported all of this by placing their trust in this healing. They continued to keep all of their systems intact, as this had been the stability of the revolution and would continue to be an essential part. The mystics and shamans recognized the importance of this grounded earth energy. Earth and spirit found a balance with their way of life.

Indeed, the people could concentrate on this deep collective healing because they were taken care of. The new paradigm system had given them so much. It had given them life; this was truly love-in-action. The energy was high and the people rejoiced at their journey.

Jasmine and Talis were overjoyed with the sacred gift from Lillian and Markus. In a few short months, Jasmine would become the mother of a very special child. When she received the Earth Child from Lillian, she was overwhelmed. Never in a million years had she thought about becoming a mother. She did not even seek love with another until meeting Talis, and here her destiny lay in becoming a mother of evolution itself. They held her large belly with love, knowing that this child was connected to so many things. Somehow it all made sense to them, as the two had been brought together for a beautiful and special reason. They knew they had a great responsibility, but felt great peace about it all. They illuminated with great love.

Joshua now spoke with great wisdom. Being of Earth, he was grounded with the help of Layia. Being of Spirit and connected to Lillian and the Collective, he held a great collective wisdom from the ascended mystics. He was part of the great collective soul. After several days in solitude, he was ready to greet the public and share some wisdom.

His speech before the Joint Council at the University was broadcast on the virtual net throughout the world. All were present for this exciting and uplifting event.

Joshua slowly entered the chamber with Layia by his side. His smile was infectious as he looked at all his friends. He gave Talis a long embrace. They were indeed brothers and had gone through so much. He felt Jasmine’s child and radiated with great joy. He put his healing hands on her and connected with the sacred force within. He took time to acknowledge everyone. Jonathan was also there and they held each other for a long moment. He was still Joshua. This was always his body and soul, yet now there was a new part of him that would help connect the Earth people with the spirit world on a level that only rarely had been achieved. This would advance them to a higher level of consciousness and also prepare them for the avatar child.

Joshua closed his eyes, took several long breaths, and joined with the Mystic Collective and the other spirits of the universe as he began to address the crowd. They spoke through him with great collective wisdom.

“Awaken, my friends. That is all that is asked of you. Be aware. Be conscious. Take the path of Love. Walk lightly on the earth. Teach these things to others. Forgive yourself for all the detours and distractions, for there will be many. Forgive others for the same. The shadow abounds; it is part of us. We have secrets, we have pain, and we have great joy and love. All things have energy and move in divine flow.

“As you have been taught, combine divine love and grounding earthly energy. This makes up the balance. Be deeply grounded to the earth. Keep a strong balance between Earth and Spirit. You are of the earth and must remain grounded.”

“You are here to experience what we call the ‘Earth School.’ That is your purpose as divine spirits.

“Take time as you raise your vibration. Send healing energy deep into the Mother Earth. This healing of the earth is a powerful balancing force for all of life. For within this new paradigm, we are the caretakers that we intended to be. We have the opportunity to bring our divine energy to the Mother Earth and help her regenerate even more.

“A new conscious energy is bringing us on a spiritual journey to experience unification with Earth and with the Divine. Be ready, for this unification continues to weave a matrix of energy in which everything is embraced. Our cells are being changed in such a way that, as we evolve, we will find the very essence of life changing.”

“The combination of the physical body and our spiritual vibration is the key. Everyone carries their own story, their own experience. It is essential that we live the whole experience, the ups and downs, so that we grow. Balancing Feminine and Masculine spiritual energies are another key—you need both soft and hard, the yin and the yang, spirit and earth.”

“It’s about working on your own evolution one day at a time as an individual. We deal with our own separate self, but can return and connect with the One.

“Be aware of the relationship between thought and behavior. Find the middle way, working between mind and matter, body and spirit. New paradigm leaders guide people to their own truth, and their own path to spirit. This is what you all are.

“Remember the alchemy of life, the four elements: Earth, Air, Water, and Fire. And also remember the essential fifth element: that of the Universe, of the Divine, the Essence of All, the One. Celebrate these things and connect with them. These are the ancient ways, but are also the new ones.

“Clearing of old karma is essential, both as individuals and as a collective. Do not let it hold you back, but work on this as part of the ongoing journey. It is part of the sacred path. Forgive yourself and forgive others. Let go and heal.

“Be aware of the natural cycle of life and death. Be in the dance of life, the circle of life, the sacred wheel. Prayer and meditation are a key to moving loving energy and connecting with the Divine and with each other. Love is the key and the goal.

“Mistakes are made; it is part of the journey. Remember to always be love-in-action. Your actions on this sacred Earth are essential to bringing you to a higher level.

“Remember the path to enlightenment is a journey. The ends and the means are the same. It is a path that combines the physical and the spiritual. Although we are separate physical beings and spirits, this is false on many levels. There is an illusion of the separate self, but in reality we are One. We come from the same energy. We are connected to the same Divine force, and we return to it again and again.

“Remember that life is always changing; it is impermanent. Be mindful and accepting of this. Most of all, Love. Love yourself and love each other. Be gentle. Have a gentle firmness when it is necessary, but operate from the heart, for it is the heart that is the force that connects us all.

“Be strong within yourself. Do not follow anyone. I am here as your friend and as your guide. I speak with the wisdom of the whole. But you are the leader. You are the power. You are all powerful mystics. You are all shamans and healers. Find the connection within yourself. Connect with others, but find your truth within. Blessed be to our new world.”

Joshua smiled and waved to everyone. Layia was close by his side as she kept him grounded to the earth. He gave a great bow to the Elders, to the Council and to his friends.

“
Namaste
,” he said as he bowed deeply. “I have found myself and am of service to you.”

The earth was once again stable. The new paradigm was strong. People were at peace. The people had reached a new level of consciousness. The 22
nd
century was only a few years away. The journey had only just begun.
