Lesson 5 – We Have Just Entered The Unique Bifurcation Period Of The Turn
“The turning point in the life of those who succeed usually comes at the moment of some crisis.”

The Turn
The evolution of consciousness is a Process that is highly definable, fully predictable and which rests upon and can be explained by the known laws of science and thus can satisfy your longing to find an authentic rational and logical explanation about the process of life.
At the midpoint of this process lies “The Turn”, a point in time where the descent of this evolutionary process changes direction and begins to ascend. Here at a place in time we will call the Turn, the guiding principle of life shifts and changes hands so to speak as we begin a completely different way of living, one that requires the exercise of individual free will and can only be traversed by the individual and never the group.
One by one, each person must make it through the Turn until collectively, a critical mass is achieved and all of society “gets it.” Until that time, we are headed full steam ahead into the depths of the descent and if our current direction isn’t corrected, we could very well crash and completely destroy ourselves. At the very minimum, there will be tremendous pain and suffering over the next half of this century as most people find it difficult to surrender completely and let go of their old ways and attachments.
Where we are in our own human history is exactly at the halfway position of our evolutionary development, a place I call The Turn. As you learn more about this Process and how it works, you should be able to fully appreciate this singular bifurcation point in time for what it is (a natural thinning of destructive tendencies) and realize that it is our good fortune to be on Earth at this time to become productive channels for this movement. This is a time of great change and a time for the emergence of tremendous creativity that is needed to solve problems and define new approaches.
I would like to emphasize that all of the current and emerging world change is really a necessary part of a larger Process which can be defined and used to determine exactly where we should be headed in the future by examining where we have been in the past. Without a valid and clear path and a cosmology to guide us, there is no way to get to our desired destination. Without identifying our true and collective destination, the world will continue to fall apart and our Old Earth will not be able to give way to the New that is trying to be born.
At the present, we are at the beginning of this new transitional period and are soon to witness the collapse of the Old Earth as the ruins of a decaying society tries to cover over and eliminate the seeds of a new world which is about to emerge. Human consciousness is embarking upon a journey of extremely radical transformation that will be harder on us and more painful than it has at any other time because our physical vehicle is in the very early stage of a several thousand year evolution that will create a new race of beings. The advent of this new race must somehow occur within the structure of cosmic laws and since these laws are definable and predictable part of the process of transition from the old to the new, it must take place in an organic and harmonious fashion otherwise we run the risk of complete and total annihilation.
Because the awakening that accompanies the Turn currently holds the power and is the key for accessing all future resources, the old civilization must furnish the means for this new expansion of life and to confirm that the process is already underway. We now see all around us confirmations that the process is already underway as a rise of the forces of destruction and negation which are the shadows cast by the Old and through their still existing powers the rapid change that is needed will come about.
In many different ways, we can see signs of the coming collapse of everything that has been built by humans and as been created over the last many centuries. What was originally perceived to be a solid foundation for life and the secure basis for growth reveals itself now as an illusion. In fact, as we look closer, we will realize that the Old Earth was built upon foundations of a degenerate substance.
Our religions are withering away into ineffectiveness, and our governments are inadequate to hold back the forces of greed and corruption and maintain even a semblance of decent behavior in the collective, national, and international societies. Our businesses are motivated thru greed and the desire for every increasing profits. Our citizens are not much more than brainwashed consumers who blindly place money in the coffers of our wealthy improperly motivated leaders and corporations without objecting to the chain of causation that leads to the productions of each good or service that is consumed.
As we continue to closely examine what is going on, we find that even our education is a meaningless tool which prepares us for a world that is dying and is in large part already dead. We have been conditioned to fit a pattern that has just about exhausted itself, and people now suspect that something is truly wrong with our system. Unfortunately, they just have no idea what it is and what to do about it.
We truly are poised for the physical emergence of a real Armageddon – a world war that will be fought over the last drops of oil in the Middle East and necessary resources such as food and water. Greed seeking money and sense gratification is so great and so present that our political and business leaders will be willing to fight another war just to maintain access to the last critical resources that have fueled our current approach to life.
We further find that the end has come for everything that is not the living and pulsating expression of an inner truth. As we begin to see this, we realize that we must now face the overwhelming and emerging power of transformation at the center of our lives that has become so much a part of us – our very own ego. Our ego nature must take a backseat, just as everything else that is old and of no further use. With the sacrifice of our ego, all the ways of the Old Earth will fall into oblivion and intuition can begin to take over as a force to lead each person’s life.
It was our ego nature that provided the means to arrive at a dangerously overpopulated and polluted Earth and now we turn the corner and acquire a new consciousness that is unrestrained by the usual chains of greed, lust, of ambition, of thirst for individual or national supremacy, of violence and of all of the old ways that are holding us back. It is our destiny to begin today to visualize the first glimpse of a preliminary race of people that precede a coming new Gnostic society – a spiritualized society that would like its individuals, to live not in the ego but rather within the auspices of the collective soul.
Was what we’ve done and where we stand today a mistake, a wrong direction in our evolutionary process? No, not at all. According to the Arc of Creation, the cosmological model of the evolution of consciousness that I will share later in another chapter, we have executed our evolutionary requirements in an incredibly accurate manner. A long time ago, when we moved into the emergence and development of the individual ego, we were leaving a time when our group consciousness was most dominate and our objective became that of acquiring maximum personal power through the domination of the physical outer world. We did that very well and today, we have arrived at the peak of the use of the rational logical mind (what we call the Information Age) where everything is now determined by some kind of law (scientific, legal, etc).
When I get into our discussion of the Arc of Creation, you will begin to appreciate our actual evolutionary progress and how our position today perfectly supports the next phase of our development, after going through a challenging transitional period, The Crossroads.
The Turn is an unavoidable period within our development and will be our biggest challenge. It is here where we must transcend the use of the rational and logical mind and instead learn to access and trust the guidance of our intuitive inner voice. As we succeed in doing this, we will begin a new stage of development, that of the use of intuitive and creativity as our primary approach to life.
Today, just about everything we know about life has become mentalized and compartmentalized within a powerful knowledge base created mostly from the use of logic and reason. This mental approach to life is very sterile and lacks the ability to nurture us using the real but invisible forces of qualities like love, compassion, and concern for all of life that surrounds us.
TIt is time to move away from leading life primarily from the level of our mind. The mental capabilities of our mind can order and can forecast our future based upon observable activity, but through it’s ignorance of the interconnectedness and true source of phenomena and the oneness of the multiple dimensions of life and their method of inter relationship, mind can only render a very fragmented and incomplete view of life. A true understanding can only come to a person who lives in the consciousness of unity and who has reached this level through specific methods designed for this purpose.
If there are an infinite number of possible future directions that humanity could traverse in the future, wouldn’t it be best to pick the one that is the most authentic and best aligned with the underlying Purposiveness that propels evolution itself? Is there a way for us to locate and uncover this best and most authentic path for our future given the limited state of our almost wholly mentally oriented consciousness? Yes there is but it won’t be determine by the use of logic and reason. Rather creativity and the use of our inner intuitive voice will be our only way out.
When we realize that all matter and all form is a condensation of the energy of Time, knowledge of the operation of the essence of time within the manifested world becomes a prime component for the success of defining our Ideal Future Vision. Our ancient civilizations had access to authentic knowledge that could provide the basis for our vision. They understood the importance of the hidden key of time. They have incorporated this knowledge into their monuments that remain a mystery to modern man because the deeper meaning that is hidden can be revealed only when the structure is properly placed within the movement of time and through intuitive insight.
Modern man no longer posses a language or a methodology to “see” and appreciate the deeper movement of time and has lost his ability to uncover the underlying knowledge through the universal laws that initially might seem esoteric in nature but ultimately reveal what we need to know to move forward. These architectural monuments of olden days are much like cosmic clocks that can be read if their geometry was related to the movement of the whole of life. The study of sacred geometry (when placed within the light of the understanding of it’s inherent time element) can reveal the truth of the form involved and anything related to it using the law of correspondence that tells us our current reality is a mirror of what is going on inside of us.
When we understand this, we will also find that time IS the force within which God makes his/her appearance in the world. By understanding the movement of life and the evolution of consciousness as it traverses through time, we become capable of literally seeing the footprints of God in our physically manifested reality.
This type of hidden and revealing knowledge has been well represented within our old universe cosmologies that have been incorporated in the pyramids, temples, and other structures that contain representation of universal principles relative to our life on Earth through the law of correspondence.
These structures are able to reveal all that they contain through the design and knowledge endowed by their creators and can possess actual power – the power to influence, shape, and mould consciousness in the realm of existence each structure embodies. For a person who has reached the proper level of consciousness, a structure can “speak” to him through the law of correspondence and pass on knowledge that was possessed by generations who no longer live upon Earth.
When this type of communication becomes possible, it occurs through the inherent energy of Time because all form is the condensation of Time’s energy which when analyzed, reveals it’s history and movement. Time is the motor that propels the movement of consciousness. Time is consciousness in motion or what may more accurately be described as sequence. Consciousness cannot exist without Time, and Time only exists within the realm of Consciousness.
Religious leaders have erroneously tried to convince us that spiritual experience transports us to a level of existence beyond Time and Space both through the concept of meditation and through telling us that heaven only exists only after the death of our physical body. They have taught us that if we quiet our mind, we can, with practice, reach a position of Bliss or a position that reflects a more ideal approach to life than our normal daily living. If we should reach that place, however, it is not because we have arrived somewhere significant, but rather because we have successfully negated the voice of our mind as an instrument, and as a result, we move into a position of negation – there is no time and there is no space – not this nor that.
For awhile, this position may be helpful in catching our balance and allowing our brain waves to become balanced through their disengagement, but the real outcome is that consciousness is forced into a negation of positive and dynamic existence as we become temporarily trapped in a void. Only when a release occurs does movement once again begin and our consciousness recovers cognition of itself. Such a state of being is much like a plunge into a black hole. Our entire purpose and reason for existence is to use our embodied carbon based organic containers to “see” and to become conscious, not to escape from them.
We have been working on the development of our consciousness for a very long time and are getting to a point where we are acquiring a greater capacity to hold a fuller vibratory experience without the risk of falling into this opposite position of non-being. In reality, we are moving closer to actually being able to create heaven upon Earth while still conscious and physically alive, while not having to negate our very bodies and souls to escape somewhere else. The concept of reaching heaven only after death of our physical bodies is ridiculous. Heaven is meant to literally be created upon Earth and not beyond. Given time, it will appear here.
We are just beginning to be able to move into an era of great creativity and evolve beyond the limitations of mind. Mind is a tool of the lower hemisphere of our being and can only be used within that range of activity (survival, pleasure, sex, and physical well-being). When attempts are made to bring mind into the higher realms of existence, the result can easily be the negation of our lower being and this has been our limitation in the past. On the other hand, when the physical begins to participate consciously, our whole body and all levels of its existence are able to find a direct connection to the Source of all existence and mind is not needed as the bridge. When the physical is awakened, a power emerges that allows us to remain conscious as greater heights and corresponding depths emerge and become available through our own activity.
It actually is our task to bring these higher levels of existence down into the physical world and to ground them as real and complementary energies along with the energies of our lower desires and our lower needs. This is our next stage of human development. That is our destiny and one of our most important new discoveries and adventures that will accompany the transition we are making from living life at the level of mind (it’s no wonder we call this the Information Age, a truly mental existence) to living life at the level of our intuition and heart, our very soul existence.
The Mental Emotional Balancing Program that I share in a later lesson is one of the few disciplines that I know of that efficiently helps to quiet the mind but not by emptying it. Rather, we increase our intuition and creativity by exercising our ability to hold and visualize our movement through the 3 dimensional shape of The Mother’s Temple, the wireframe of reality that I will share with you in another chapter.
This is how we begin to easily create a true bridge to take us where mind cannot go. This is how we make a transition from mind to heart and allow our inner intuitive voice to emerge within our daily surface lives. It also helps us gain the emotional strength needed to listen to and have total faith in the guidance of this inner voice. I would like you to consider the limitations involved with leading your life mostly from the level of mind and be willing to consider opening first your heart and then your voice of intuition so you can access it’s inner knowledge.
It is the physical vessel and the state of organic matter that is the object of our future evolution. The physical is the container of consciousness, the chalice that must hold both the descent of force from above and the ascent of the power from the three dimensional physically manifested world that we stand within on a daily basis. The universe is a Process put in motion by Purpose. This Process involves the descent of Spirit into the depth of matter, one step at a time until it reaches the singular bifurcation point of the Crossroads and then begins a climb (after an awakening), an ascent out of matter and back toward Spirit carrying with it the history, the memories, and the experience of it’s full exploration within Time.
Because matter is a crystallization within the movement of the time of Consciousness, and if Consciousness were to express itself at its’ highest and most authentic potential level, our material creations would truly become those of heaven upon Earth instead of the cheap, caustic, dead, throw away forms of today’s consumer oriented economy. This is the ultimate destiny for humanity but at the present time we are located at the crossroads where we must transcend logic and reason and replace its lead with intuition and creativity.
Currently, we are located at the very depth of the descent of Spirit into matter (the 3 dimensional physical world). If this was described graphically, the following arc shape would describe this experience
We see all around us the evidence of the peak and height of the use of the rational logical mind which “sees life” filled with separate objects and activities whose current purpose is to satisfy the temporary delights of the lower nature of man. At the same time, we begin to observe the destruction of life that is selfishly occurring because we’ve lost our position of Oneness with all things that surround us and only see our individual self as the center of our own universe (motivated mostly by greed and sexual and sensual gratification – all lower levels of consciousness). This is the actual social condition of modern man as we begin the 21st century.
We also are located at the position of the singular bifurcation point in Time, The Crossroads, where we individually are being challenged to surrender the hold of our ego and it’s use of the mind as it’s primary instrument for “seeing life.” We are being encouraged to make a grand surrender, one person at a time, and to move our perceptual center away from the mind and instead into intuitive and our heart. We have experienced first hand what our self-centered greed and sensual gratification oriented approach to life creates for us and the results are not good nor are they sustainable. The shift that is required is one of a movement away from approaching life from the left side of the brain (that of rational logical thought) and into the realm of the right side of the brain (intuitive knowing and co-creative connectedness with all of creation).
Our old way of “seeing life” that currently supports capitalism as it’s primary ideology is a viewpoint that exists from the position of the individual personality, the ego. The ego sees everything as separate from all other and it’s own influence occurring at the center of the entire world. Right next to this old center lies a witness, another point of seeing that in most people is fully asleep and inactive. This is what is referred to as our soul, a center within space/time that forms our actual direct connection with the Spirit that is capable of permeating all of Creation. We have arrived at a place in the evolution of human consciousness where the ego must take a back seat to the inner promptings of our intuition, the realm of our inner voice that is waiting to guide us and help us form a new and better approach to life.
The universe is an expression of the soul of the Supreme Creator, our Source, and the Manifest in its infinitude of dimensions as well as the Unmanifest (what I call the Zero Plane Accretion Disk, or the ZPAD) is to the Supreme what the soul center is to man. The soul is a spark of the Spirit in its plunge into the deepest depth of total being, the three-dimensional physically manifested universe (what I call the 3DPMU).
In the evolutionary Process, we as humans, inhabit one of seven kingdoms of existence whose ultimate goal is the evolution of the individual soul, the evolution of the ultimate being-ness, and ultimately a return back to the position of the Supreme at the end of this journey.
Man is not very far along in his evolution, however, and is only now crossing the half way mark of his development and is moving into the transition period of The Crossroads of The Turn. At the present time in his evolution, his soul connection is unconscious and involuntary. It is not only not visible in the creation of his outer world but he is awaiting what is called in Christianity, the Virgin Birth – an actual awakening and a new way of seeing and a movement from his old ego mind governed center to his intuitively guided heart center. This new position, this new center, must be sought out and discovered by each individual person before humanity collectively can move into the future Golden Age.
There is a coming Golden Age, but its full manifestation is far off in our future even though the moment of it’s birth and unfolding in the world is now occurring during our present time. We first must make it through The Crossroads (an extremely challenging transitional period) one person at a time. It is here that our greatest surrender is made and the prior descent of Spirit then can become an ascent. It is here at The Crossroads of The Turn where our evolution quits being unconscious and subject to the play and randomness of nature, and where we are able to truly “see” and gain a glimpse of our ultimate destination and individual and collective future paths. It is here where we move toward what might be described as the Divine Light.
It is through this new consciousness and the corresponding understanding it requires to be made known that the Light of Recognition is able to guide us through the Crossroads. When we make it through the Crossroads, our shift becomes instantaneous and can occur only in the present moment. The present is not a part of time, because it is always the present.
Time is the shadow of the present and derives from it. Consequently, the particular potency of The Crossroads primarily is recognition – recognition of a principle, realization of a truth, reconciliation of duality – satori! It is here where the connection is made and an approach to life based upon duality can give way to a conception of Oneness. This is the goal, the privilege, and the next step of the evolution of man at our present time and is the formative principle that enables us to evolve so that our evolution ultimately leads to our potential divinity.
A new Gnostic race is emerging and its successful birth during our present time is fully dependent upon man (not God) to make it through The Crossroads. How many times in past history have we reached a similar bifurcation point in space/time and failed and evolution has had to start all over? We will never know as the challenging aspects of such a Grand Surrender face us now at the beginning of the 21st century and our ability to make the necessary surrender will ultimately decide the success or failure of our collectivity.
The very survival of the human race depends on our making it through this transitional period. The only question remaining (whose answer is dependent upon how quickly and easily we surrender and go through the requirements of the Crossroads) is how many of us will survive? Odds are that when we reach the end of the 21st century, our 7 to 10 billion population will have dwindled away due to a multitude of adverse forces and we will be left with only a billion or fewer people walking the face of the earth.
Through our old tools of destruction and dissolution, we have unleashed a multitude of global problems that will soon force us to shift or perish. The only problem with making such a shift will be to figure out what we need to do and how we should go about doing it. As a society, we do not possess an authentic cosmology that has been reduced to a sustainable approach to life that can become a roadmap for our future. Without that, how will we be able to begin the journey and get there if we don’t know where our ideal destination is?
It is time for the seeds of a new realization, a new way of “seeing.” This must manifest now if the larger true collective experiences are to come forth in our far future. It is the moment in time for the birth of the first cell of this new consciousness and when it emerges, it will initially be the seed for a new creation. The new way of “seeing” will first be accomplished within consciousness, and through the unfolding of time, it will spread and encompass the entire planet, making it the home for a new divine life.
The unfortunate end result of this process is that a much smaller group of people located in a very specific geographic location on earth will be the ones to survive and thrive. All others will perish or at the very least will suffer the most grueling conditions of life.
