Earth changes sustaining our planet
Spirit of Lake Harriet | by Michael Underwood


The earth is moving into a new evolution. It is growing in concurrence with the evolution of humankind. The earth will become a place for higher growth-oriented spirits who choose to come and evolve to a level that is more advanced than has been the experience in the past. As this level is achieved by these special souls, Mother Earth herself will evolve to a higher level that will create an atmosphere to nurture the growth of these special souls.

In the beginning of our Mother Earth's evolution, her development to become a life-sustaining entity took many centuries. Whether this process began as an act of God or an accident of the universe is not important. What is important was her struggle to create a growth atmosphere, to which we could travel as souls to experience and gain the wisdom of her gifts.

When her first stage of evolution was complete, we were to choose to take human form and began to experience the physical realm in what is commonly called the cave man era. Our main focus was experiencing the physical -- food provided by the plants and animals, water, shelter in caves and the other physical realms that Mother Earth was able to provide for us. This gave us the foundation to move forward into the next level of development, the emotional realm.

Through the development of the emotional level, we began to learn to express and to have feelings for Mother Earth's gifts -- her animals and her plants. We would learn to take animals as pets, to domesticate horses, treat them with love and learn the advantages of their power for traveling and working the earth for food. This emotional development also expanded humankind's creative expression, as witnessed during the Renaissance. Beautiful paintings and church structures built with resources provided by our Mother Earth were expressions of emotion unlike today's focus of quantity, space and budget. Thanks to the gifts of Mother Earth, our emotional growth was able to evolve, allowing us to progress to our next level of development as humans, the intellectual.

We would begin to explore how powerful the gift of the mind is. We would learn to use the resources of our Mother Earth to create machines and improve and extend our lives through using her plants, herbs and chemicals to make medicine. We would develop means of transportation that would take us to the moon or to the local grocery store to buy her resources. By developing our minds, we have now created computers that will design our buildings and machines for us, or send an electronic message to a friend across the world.

But we are now ready for our next level of evolution. It is time to go beyond this intellectual level.

In the development of our intellect, we assumed that the more information and the more college degrees we could acquire, the more advanced we were as a human being. We have been cramming so much information into our minds that we now are taking meditation classes to learn how to shut down the thinking process. Today's corporations are looking for people who have new ideas and intuitive ways to accomplish goals. There is a sudden rise in interest to develop intuition, creativity and psychic abilities. Ten years ago, if you were going to take a psychic/intuitive development class, you would have been perceived as getting involved in a cult. Today, intuition is an ability that is taught and highly sought after by many souls wanting to evolve to the next level, learning to get in touch with the Heart.

Through the centuries of evolution as souls, we have used the gifts that Mother Earth has given us with no consideration of her heart. We have deposited the wastes of our experiences and development back on her with no consideration to the effects they will have on her future development. We now have evolved to a level that requires us to merge with our Mother Earth and help her achieve a new level and an ecological balance that will provide us with the ability to grow to this new level. This process will happen, and the many advanced souls who know this are already working to help heal the earth and prepare it to evolve.

Mother Earth soon will evolve to her next level, and she will become a dwelling for those advanced souls who are searching to express themselves totally from the heart and from their soul. Another world will be prepared for those loving spirits who are not quite ready for this level, and this world will give them the nurturing they need to grow to a heart level. When they are ready, the newly evolved Mother Earth will nurture their experience in this heart-and-soul connection.

I commend those spirits who are helping to heal the earth.
