Shifting from Old Paradigm to New

SHIFTING FROM OLD PARADIGM TO NEW
By Jack Allis

(Excerpted from Chapter Two of Jack’s upcoming new book, 2012 & the Shift – Transforming Challenges into Blessings)

One of the definitions of the shift means a shifting from an old paradigm or world to a completely new one. It’s possible for us to understand this too in a variety of ways.
This too was a common feature of all the ancient prophecies, which echoed that this was an exceedingly rare and sacred opportunity to energetically and spiritually ascend from this material world to one of higher dimension. This ancient wisdom was also in tune with the natural world, with an inherent understanding that all of life’s great cycles involved regeneration. This means the cycle of birth, life, death and rebirth into new life. On a macroscopic scale, it can be seen in the death and birth of stars and galaxies, and in the expansion and contraction of the universe, and on the microscopic, it can be seen in the seasons, and in the continuous regeneration of the cells of the human body.
We also know about the shift from old paradigm to new because we can see this playing out in our world every day. The old paradigm is unquestionably falling apart. Robert Ghost Wolf summed this up beautifully in Last Cry (page 152):

The Mayans tell us that during the cycle of life we are now entering, all structures that do not allow for the infusion of the Great Light, or Spirit, must and will fail. This has nothing to do with an “Indian Curse,” but rather the natural cycle of civilizations, a science we have long forgotten; seasons of human- kind. The structures the Mayans refer to in their prophesy include science, religion, social, and spiritual orders of our world societies. The Mayans continue by saying that, “Even the stones beneath the Earth will not go untouched by this light when it appears in our heavens.

At the time that I’m writing these words (May 2009), all of this is indeed happening, more evidence that the shift is already underway. The latest crack in the old paradigm is the collapse of the United States and world system of money and economics. Since the primary purpose of this book is to raise our frequency, not lower it, I will not go down the laundry list of all that ails the old paradigm. Let it suffice to say, as Ghost Wolf says, that all the old paradigm structures are sick, and dying.
And this makes perfect sense because the old paradigm is built on a fundamentally rotten foundation. This is why it cannot possibly sustain itself, which is what the Native Americans and other indigenous cultures have been telling us for hundreds, make that thousands of years. The old paradigm is built upon the foundation of two primary things. The first is that it places its primary emphasis on matter, or materialism, and this is at the expense of matter’s antithesis: spirituality. The old paradigm is all about material things in the material world. It is a world that is limited to what people can perceive with their five tangible senses – sight, sound, taste, smell and hearing. Higher consciousness and spirituality, and other non-rational states of consciousness, such as extrasensory perception, telepathy, and the multitude of other types of perception, which are outside of this narrow band, have no place in this old paradigm model. However, in the new paradigm, these higher states of consciousness and perception are the primary determinants of this new reality – this new world of light and spirit.
Another way of looking at the old paradigm is that it is the world our insane culture conditions or brainwashes us to believe is real, when, in fact, it is only one of a multitude of such worlds. The old paradigm is the world we see when we turn on the TV. And a key component of the old paradigm, which is by design, is limitation. In the old paradigm, people are cut off from the true source of their power, which is their higher consciousness and spirituality. As we will discuss in Chapter Four, the old paradigm is an illusion. Yes, folks, this is The Matrix. It is an illusion designed to keep us in a box of somebody else’s making, and for the purpose of keeping us under their control.
The second essential feature of the old paradigm’s decadent foundation is an old bugaboo, which so many of us have struggled with in the old paradigm. This is control. The old paradigm is all about control, and specifically controlling the forces of nature for the purpose of achieving a material outcome. The old paradigm takes from nature without giving back. It plunders the Earth, and justifies its actions in the name of industrial, technological and financial progress. All of which means this is a system that cannot possibly sustain itself because it is in fundamental violation of divine law. Divine law, from every viable spiritual tradition on Earth, past and present, clearly tells us that an essential feature of a spiritual world, which is capable of sustaining itself, is living in harmony with nature, and with the natural forces of both the external and internal world. Living in disharmony inevitably results in the collapse of the system, and in this case, the possible extinction of the human race.
This too was well understood and prophesized by our ancient indigenous sources. They all tell us that this was a time when our old paradigms, not connected to spirit, or to “the infusion of the Great Light,” would fall, creating the opportunity to create the new world of light and spirit from its ashes. And they all tell us too that there is only one way to do this. This is with the power of our higher consciousness and spirituality, and through the process of energetic ascension.

2012 & The Shift - A Frame of Reference

2012 & THE SHIFT
A Frame of Reference
By Jack Allis
(Excerpted from Chapter 2 of Jack’s book in progress – 2012 & the Shift – Transforming Challenges into Blessings)

In addition to hard science and the prophecies, there are other ways we know that the Earth’s energy fields are shifting, and that it’s already happening. One of the most important is our direct experience, and the awareness that we derive from this. In other words, we can feel these things. We can feel it in our bodies. Quantum science has confirmed that we are energy, and as such we have a vibration, a frequency. Our feelings or emotions are the flowing of energy along the pathways of our body. Since all the energy in the universe is interconnected, it follows that our energy will interact with, and feel the changes in the energy surrounding us. With the Earth’s energy fields around us rising in frequency, most people are feeling an intensification of the experience of living on Planet Earth, with time itself feeling like it’s speeding up. More and more experience is crammed into smaller and smaller units of time, and our feelings of this are more charged, positively and negatively. Ghost Wolf referred to this as the quickening.

Everybody’s feeling it. The only difference between us, as far as how we perceive all this, is our frame of reference. A tiny fraction of us, but growing by leaps and bounds, understand the shift and the forces at work. So, we understand what’s happening, and we have a frame of reference. So even though our world is topsy-turvy too, at least it makes sense. We are always able to deal with things better, and with less fear, when we are prepared, and when we know what we’re dealing with, and in this case, when we are in resonance with it.

For the vast majority of people, they have no frame of reference. They have no idea why all this is happening. They too can feel something in their bodies, but they don’t know what it is, or what’s causing it. They can feel the same frantic pace of things, and the same manic rate of change, but without a frame of reference, all their bodies can feel is anger, because things are so out of control, as well as stress, fear and anxiety over all the unknowns that come with such massive change. Many of them feel like they’re going crazy. And many of them are. It is always a great relief to them, when I inform them about the shift, and provide them with the beginnings of a frame reference. It helps to lift the burden that they believe they are doing something to cause how they feel.

On the other end of the spectrum, for those who do have a frame of reference due to their awareness of the shift, and who are plugged into these forces through their spirituality, we can see amazing things beginning to happen. As these people begin their ascension, by raising their frequency with feelings of peacefulness, joy and love, they literally become lighter, and yes, you can see and feel it in their presence. They have a definite glow, and their physical bodies appear less impeded by gravity and the other densities of the material world. Because they are in resonance with the Earth forces surrounding them, their metabolism tends to be higher, allowing them to effortlessly drop excess physical weight. People tend to be drawn to them, as their personalities are highly charged magnetically with the vibration of love. And the divine spirit always seems to shower them with the blessing of everything they need in this world, which is the true meaning of manifestation. It’s difficult to see these ascended beings staying in this high density much longer. This is just no longer their world, which precisely follows the script the shift has written.

All of these ancient prophecies share one other major thing in common, and it is the one thing we need to remember here, if we are to persevere in this great challenge, and create the new world. And it is this: it’s up to us – the human inhabitants of this magnificent Planet to make this happen. And there’s only one way to do it, and this is with the power of our higher consciousness and spirituality. The old paradigm of materialism and controlling the forces the nature cannot possibly sustain itself. To create the new paradigm, humanity must reestablish its lost connection with life’s vital energy and with the rhythm and flow of life. Losing this connection was where everything went off track to begin with.

Once again, it’s just that simple. One of the reasons so many people struggle with all this, and cave in to feelings of fear and doomsday, is because most of the so-called experts on the shift make it so complicated. There seems to be an obsession with dates, and predicting all the possible scenarios, such as calculating those places that will remain above water, and astral bodies or ships that are due to arrive, and on and on. I believe most of the prophecies would agree that this can be a distraction. There are limitless possibilities regarding what might happen, and nobody knows for certain. People really only need to hear one thing – relax your body, quiet your mind, raise your frequency, and harmonize your energy with the forces surrounding us. Our spirituality is the primary source of our protection in the face of these Earth changes, and the primary source of our power to make the dimensional shift to the new world of light and spirit.
