SHAPESHIFTING INTO HIGHER CONSCIOUSNESS

EXCERPT FROM CHAPTER ONE -
SHAPESHIFTING INTO HIGHER CONSCIOUSNESS
(Llyn Roberts, O-Books 2011)

The Tibetan Buddhist term, Bardo, literally means “between two shores.” Bardo is commonly known as the period following death after consciousness leaves the body. Bardo is the transition from death to re-birth. Yet, it also describes the gap between moments or events; the intermediary period as something changes from one form to another. One experience, or reality, has died or ended. The next moment, or event, has not yet come into being. Bardo is a rich interlude. It is a realm of potential where we can cleanse the old and create anew. Our ability to do so is shaped by past momentum, future longing, and our ability to be present. In this gap, awareness can magnetize or repel; we can draw to us or push away from any number of possible outcomes.

Imagine leaving familiar lands to cross an ocean expanse, like early explorers. You are between two shores. You have abandoned what is recognizable, you navigate into the unknown. The journey may feel perilous, one that you are not sure you will survive. You pass many lands along the way. One scenario has you grasping at the first solid piece of land you come upon. You are driven by the grief of what is lost, the terror of dying, and the uncertainty of what is to come. The gap, the journey, is unbearable. Another scenario finds you passing by alluring lands yet that do not resonate. You trust and employ your heart and senses. You intuit the right direction and navigate beyond fear and seduction.

Prophecies from original peoples the world over tell us that the world is changing. The world is not ending, but the world as we know it is ending. How we experience, interpret, and respond to what is happening can make all the difference.
