A group of Seven ethereal beings told our INIT group in the spring of 1996, through a computer in Luxembourg, that we today are approaching the end of an epoch:

“Mankind at the end time should be led back to the principle. Light and darkness shall unite and form a whole again. What people experience now is not the actual beginning of the apocalypse, but only the first symptoms of it.”

The symptoms apparently include widespread drug abuse, the painful products of overpopulation such as pestilence, famine and mass execution… as well as the growing climate severity (climate “change” is too gentle a word for what’s happening today) affecting all continents.

It’s taken me more than a decade to reconcile one of the key points of that message: “Light and darkness shall unite and form a whole again….”  It obviously means that our noble side—the part of us that’s inspired by love, trust, and good will—will somehow have to come together with our savage side, which is driven by our fears, animosities, and our urge to vanquish others in order to dominate.

While our INIT members worked with The Seven ethereals and hundreds of supportive spirit friends (people who had once lived on Earth and had now chosen to work with us on our ITC project) over a period of five years, we all felt good will from our invisible colleagues, and a deep sense of trust developed across dimensions.

But the ethereals warned us that not all entities in the spirit worlds are “of the light.” They said, “You already know that also pharisees, ghouls, swindlers, thieves, yes even murderers (on Earth), have their interested supporters here among the dead.”

But exactly how that will come about—the unity of light and darkness—I’m only beginning to understand. Most of what we humans accept as real—time, space, and gravity, for example—is an illusion of the physical realm. Our concept of duality (good and evil) is also an illusion. In the grand scheme of things, there is only one reality, and that is the pure light and consciousness at the source of all existence. As that light emanates outward, manifesting everything in existence from the formless ethereal realms of pure consciousness to the dense worlds in the physical universes, it eventually begins to grow dim, so pockets of darkness form out here in the material fringes of the omniverse. Strange things like fear, suspicion, and uncertainty sprout up in those dark pockets, which we have come to view as “evil.”

In any case, the End Time will apparently involve a gathering-up of all these dark pockets and integrating them with the light… and then it’s on to the next phase of humankind, whatever that will entail. It could be another attempt to bring light and paradise to this dense, slow vibration that we’re familiar with here on Earth, or it might involve raising all of humanity to a finer, astral vibration in which light and paradise are more easily sustained.

If you’re interested in how humanity on Earth really fits into the grand plan of the cosmos—from our paradise beginnings, through a fitful evolution spanning millions of years, to the current state of the world—it’s in Part One of my latest book, The Project, which can now be read online, courtesy of google.com. If you’re interested in our future possibilities, those are examined in Part Two and Part Three of the book, excerpts of which are also available online at that google site.

Meanwhile, if you want to get a taste of our light and loving paradise future, there are plenty of places online to bask in humanity’s noble side. Here’s just one example, which happens to be a performance by the Celtic Woman group. Enjoy the goosebumps. You can explore their music for a half-hour or so and feel your spiritual vibration steadily rising!
