Journey to the Upper World for Guidance on patterns on earth, and in our civilization, that provide a perspective on what the near-term future of the earth might be like
The purpose of this journey is to travel to the Upper World and ask the Spirits if they can give guidance on patterns that are discernible in the World on earth that indicate what the future will be like.. Specifically, I aim to travel to the Spirit realm of the Upper World to ask the Spirits about discerning patterns on earth and in our civilization that provide a perspective on what the near-term future of the earth might be like
I started from my mantle edge and am going up alongside the beam or pathway that I usually use.. I’m floating easily upwards, ascending alongside it, not being pushed from below or pulled from above.. My intended destination is the clearing in a forest in the Upper World where my Spirits often assemble
I’m keen to direct this question to one of my Spirits in particular who specializes in putting pieces together and making sense of it.. She is ideal for this, like putting puzzle pieces together and forming a sensible picture.. I see her in this clearing; she appears on a carpet.. The patterns that she can create on that carpet will reveal important understandings and perspectives
She actually looks a little bit downcast, saying that asking for predictions about the future is not that desirable… I clarify what I’m asking: “What do existing patterns imply for the near-term future?”
Instead of having me look at the carpet and the patterns on it, she’s taken me up to the top of a hill… I’ve been to this hill at least a couple of times before, and the theme has always been looking out over an expansive landscape and having a big perspective of things…
The Core Guidance: Focusing on Animal Well-being
She says that there’s one philosophical approach or attitude which is “of what will be will be”… I tell her I’m interested in seeing patterns or getting an understanding and perspective of things that could be changed or need to be changed in order to have a World that is more peaceful, less violent, more kind, and where people create less suffering for themselves and for the animal World…
She responds that one of the most powerful approaches we could take is to think about what do animals need for their well-being… If we moderate and choose our actions and our decisions in terms of what is good for animals—for wildlife, that would be for birds, for squirrels, for bears, for lions, for fish—that approach will make the biggest difference in enhancing the well-being of humanity… She says that if we take care of the animal kingdom, those decisions will impact the most positively on the human kingdom…
She notes that this has to do with loss of habitat, pollution, and overuse, like when it comes to things like fishing and breeding of cows… She says there are so many things where there is an imbalance… Instead of thinking about what we can change for humans, we should think about what we can improve for the well-being of animals, and we will hugely benefit…
Consulting Experts and Facing the Implementation Problem
She advises to think about individual animals and take an example from an individual animal… I think, “Okay, what about grizzly bears?”…
She points out that one of the wonderful things about humans is that there is so much research; there are so many researchers who are studying, in this example, grizzly bears, their lifestyles, and cycles of life… There’s no lack of information, but one needs to consult the experts… Expert guidance is there; we don’t have to make guesses, we can consult…
She says this is where something like an AI query, Chat GPT, and other AI engines, could be a very good start… For example, asking: “Based on expert research, what are the best things that can be done to protect and enhance the life of grizzly bears?”… She says there’s no lack of information… The problem is humans putting those recommendations into practice… That is the issue we run up against when we consider the well-being of animals as the strategy to improve the well-being of humans and the planet and our future: there can be so many recommendations, but are humans able to implement them?…
The Challenge of Human Behavior
Naturally, there is another whole issue to this, which is: how can we help humans take a big, broad, higher perspective that has them be willing to look after the well-being of animals as a first priority?… How can we change human psychology in order to change human behavior?… This is the big, big problem…
She identifies four hugely essential dynamics that govern human decision-making and will get in the way of humans not taking the high-road perspective of looking after the animal kingdom..:
- Greed… Humans being governed by operating with the profit motivation…
- Insufficiency motivation, which also includes a motivation of “we want more”… Even if there’s no insufficiency, there’s a prevailing human approach to existence of “I want more, I want more, I want more”… There is not being satisfied…
- Not being willing to share…
- Not being willing to contribute… In the sharing scenario, we don’t want humans who just take from other humans who are willing to share without doing their best to contribute as well…
Looking after the animal kingdom in its widest sense, so that includes fish, actually is in the best interests of humans…
The Pattern of Profit
She says, unfortunately, one huge pattern in certainly in America but pretty much everywhere in the World, is that of being governed by the profit motive… Corporations are taking over all these sources of production and the acts of production, and they’re governed by increasing profit…
She actually uses the word despicable for this… Hooked into that is human greed… The standard desire now is to be a billionaire, not just a millionaire, and have huge homes and estates, multiple homes, multiple estates, yachts, and private planes… It is an extravagance of desire and dissatisfaction with something that is not ordinary…
Cultivating a Higher Perspective
I comment that these human psychological behavioral habits seem to me, to Neil, such a tough challenge to make any changes there…
My Spirit says yes, the key is to have humans have this higher perspective… She notes this is something that has come up a number of times previously on journeys—the importance, the crucialness, of having a higher perspective…
I ask if this has something to do with how children are raised and their experiences in the home, at school, and in their culture, where having a higher perspective can be cultivated… This, of course, implies having parents and teachers and more of the general culture placing importance on having a higher perspective… That seems close to impossible…
She says, “And don’t forget about churches and religion“… She says there’s so much appropriate emphasis in churches and generally within religious institutions on being a good person… But this needs to be expanded beyond following the Ten Commandments as a guideline—not doing bad things to other humans… Again, it’s “do unto others as you would have them do unto you”…
Confirmation and Final Warning
As I’m doing this journey, I’m lying here with my cat, Birdie, next to me… Birdie has snuggled right up alongside me and given me a few licks… I understand that this is a confirmation from the Spirit World through Birdie that this whole idea about taking care of the animal kingdom is really important and on track… That will be good for humans; that will be fantastic for humans…
Of course, there’s a whole long list that one can make of how the animal kingdom is suffering in terms of loss of habitat, poaching, pesticides, and consumption of animals… So there is this overriding notion of how humans can change their perspective…
She says that, again, the important people are the parents, the teachers, the religious leaders, all leaders, and people that are prominent in business and politics… This is where politicians should be focused… If the whole World could share in this idea of let’s look after the animal kingdom, the World would be transformed…
Specific Examples
She says there are still areas of the World that can be protected, although those areas are increasingly threatened…
She mentions things like the consumption of meat… It’s on such a vast scale, certainly in countries like America and Europe… She’s not saying we shouldn’t be eating meat, but the extent to which meat is in the diet—beef, chicken, fish—could be greatly reduced, and we would be no worse off… In fact, we would be, if anything, healthier for it…
She says that thoughts about global warming are good, but there’s a certain kind of vagueness and controversy about them… Things would be much less vague if we were determining actions, behaviors, and plans guided by looking after the animal kingdom…
Message for the Schapera Show Listeners
I ask the Spirit if there’s anything else that she can tell me or show me that would be interesting and important for the listeners to the Shapura show, and respected as guidance from the Spirits…
She says, “Yes, these changes should begin in the more westernized, materialistic, capitalistic countries like the USA“… We should set an example that shows that we are willing to make what one might think of as sacrifices, but they’re actually acting in our own very best interest… The USA should set an example to the World…
She says, “It would be so incredible if prospective political officeholders campaigned on a genuine platform of looking after animals“… That would be very unique…
She comes back to the importance of the perspective of parents and teachers and churches and religious organizations and business people who have a platform…
Although predicting the future is not what she wants to do, she says if we don’t do this, one can use that phrase that the consequences will be too awful to contemplate…
I’m left with a horrible image of human skeletons scattered about on a desolate plain… She says, “This is all what she’s spoken about today is not wishful thinking. It’s crucial. It’s fundamental“…
As I’ve been speaking this last bit, the drums have changed to call me back… I thank the Spirits, especially the Spirit of the Upper World, the one who recognizes and interprets patterns… I go back out of the clearing to the beam that I can follow, going down and down and down alongside the beam…
I feel a little bit upset by the last warning about horrible consequences and that image of skeletons on a windswept dry plain… I thank the Spirits for their incredible wisdom, the wisdom of the Spirit World that is there for us to ask and receive… The result is that we have to respect what the Spirits say… Respect the wisdom of the Spirits… That’s their parting message: “Respect the wisdom of the Spirits”… Thank you, Spirits. Thank you. Thank you. The journey is over…
