The Storyteller explains that humanity is experiencing a great transition — a collective coming-of-age. It’s a time when we’re learning to act from love instead of fear, to cooperate instead of control. Like a caterpillar becoming a butterfly, this transformation invites us to let go of survival-based thinking and live with joy, discernment, and trust in life’s unfolding.
In the excerpt below, the Storyteller talks about how individuals and humanity as a whole will benefit from the transition.
To understand this thing and this time of the transition, regard it as a focusing or quickening — a new life, a birth of mankind in a different form. Regard it as a most wondrous thing that mankind holds itself in a chrysalis, a cocoon that you hold yourself into. To crawl into this thing as a worm with many feet and to come out with wings to fly, to be as the butterfly. To be free, to be able to move through your life, directing it from discernment rather than judgment of another. You will still have the passion… but the fear will not be regarded as a thing of importance.
You will not judge your survival as being a thing that you must fight for each day. Perhaps what you will do is judge that your survival is a thing that will always be, but the perception of your survival must be through joy, or that survival is of no value at all.
So, that is the nature of the transition. It is the visualization that upon your face will be a glow, and that light will be life to you. You will feel the warmth and feel the joy, and you can hold life’s joy to you — the feeling you have while you sit in the sun and stretch.
That joy and that peacefulness, if you hold that to you through each of your interactions with another, regardless of what transition takes place to your planet and to man, you will see it with passion, not fear.
