Now is the time of era shift… not a change/improvement, not problem solving the world of our making, the era which we are/have been living; but a change of era, a shift to a new era… a time for recognizing that era shifts call for an initiating role, a particular essence role for initiating the work; call for a process we can image and take up in relation to the culture creating work of now; a role from and through which the seeing, experiencing and understanding of the new way of being is able to enter into humanity. All true era shifts are an advancing of humanness; this era shift adds an advancing of our wholistic/systemic seeing of life.
Now is the time of and for realizing potential, the time of seeing all from the perspective of intent and intended ways of working embedded within… the time of shifting from “my faith” to “having faith in intent”… faith in the intent and intended ways of working of life and of love… on this earth at this time.
The initiating role of the transcendent shift – that which takes us beyond the limitations of our nature/of existence (time), and moves us into the world of realizing potential/of coming from essence patterns of intent – is intentional grandmothering; intentional grandmothering being the initiating role for the time of now, the initiating role for bringing into being the intended era shift of now.
As we enter into dialogue with the aim of seeing and understanding the process role of intentional grandmothering, let us remind ourselves of the following truth:
The perspective we hold, where we start our thinking from, determines the path we take,
what we move toward, what we move away from; and ultimately, that which we create…
what we bring into existence.
Reflect on the process of grandmothering in the present era, we can see two levels of such: cultural grandmothering and authentic grandmothering. And we can see the process of each as unfolding concentric circles of love, wisdom and work…
Cultural Grandmothering…
o Love – (familial, instinctive, tribal love)
o Wisdom – (wisdom of experience/success)
o Work – (obey cultural/man’s laws)
Authentic Grandmothering…
o Love – (love the worthy child in need of caring for)
o Wisdom – (intuitive wisdom of essence… remembering the culture devalues intuition)
o Work – (awakening called work – work of the heart)
Perspective and Process
Both processes of grandmothering are brought into being by the culture of the present era, culture determining the perspective we hold, where we start our thinking from:
The perspective we hold…
- Human centered
- Hereafter – Join the Father in the hereafter
- Dominion over earth
Where we start our thinking from…
- Reason/reasoning mind of existence (intuition being taboo)
- My rights/individual right of choice/conscience
- Inner development is personal/private process.
Intentional Grandmothering –
the initiating role of the new era…
At this time of now, what is called for is grandmothering with intentionality: Intentional Grandmothering… What makes grandmothering intentional?
Intentional Grandmothering…
o Love – (all-inclusive love of the Source; we are intended vessels for love entering)
o Wisdom – (intuitive wisdom of intent and intended ways of working of life)
o Work – (community joining the Father’s eternalizing life on earth work)
Perspective and Process
Intentional grandmothering comes from and is guided by the perspective and intended culture of the new era – the time of potential with faith in intent. Ultimately, this will become that which surrounds all roles within humanity…
The perspective we hold…
- Life of the whole centered (One hierarchy, and we are not it).
- Joining in the Father’s eternalizing living earth work in the here and unfolding now.
- We are intended members of living earth, with work and roles in its eternal vitality.
Where we start our thinking from…
- Intuition/intuitive mind of intent, intended ways of life and love.
- Community responsibly exercising right of conscience.
- Inner development requires ongoing community process (two or more gathering in the name of love and life).
The now work of intentional grandmothering being:
With love in the process, create the space where everything has greater ableness to be – enabling all present giving voice to intuition, essence/uniqueness to process, and courage to conscience…
All of which calls for leading our thinking with right and good…
Right: harmonious congruence with intended way of working of life; and
Good: works for all children in the world…
And taking up true work: working on community issues in ways advancing both humanness and wholistic/systemic seeing.
As we go forward on this path, it may be helpful to hold in mind: Within all true era shifts – all true advances in humanness – the truths of the previous are not lost, nor discounted; but rather enfolded within the unfolding, emerging as a more whole, deeper manifestation of truth.
