It knows exactly what is required to bring our afflicted planet back into balance, to heal the Earth and the soul of humanity that has so painfully lost its way. And as it reawakens, this information will once again become available to us. Life is ready to teach us.

What life knows about itself reaches far beyond the limits of our current understanding and the scope of our present sciences.

This child also brings together the inner and the outer, spirit and matter, uniting the opposites in oneness. This child is not born of the past, not even of the ancient order of the archetypes, but has come from a totally different dimension within our self and within the cosmos. It carries a possibility that is free of many of the patterns of the past, and it also has a magic that enables things to happen in a way they have never happened before. It is alive in a completely new way, belonging to the moment that is outside of time and yet fully present.

In the simplicity of our human values—love, and joy, and hope—we are all connected together. But we can only discover this connection when we return to this simple core of being. Otherwise we will fall apart with a world that has lost its center, a world that believes in its own advertising slogans.
