There is current that flows beneath all form. It moves imperceptibly. It is the flow of Spirit, that which creates, sustains, dissolves, learns from and informs all things. It is called by many names: The Divine Matrix, Indra’s net, the Unifying Field, God, the Source, Grandmother Spider’s jeweled web, Creator, and so much more.
All of life belongs to this vast weave, this energetically conscious cloth of creation. What mystics and seers, shaman and awakened seekers have seen, felt, intuited, experienced and known has now become the foundation of today’s scientific study.
Through the maze of illusion and maya’s grasp, quantum physics has brought us to the time when human consciousness is able to peek through the veil and realize it is a part of the Great Self.
We are living in the time of extraordinary possibilities. The chaos that surrounds us is a precursor to a powerful birth pressing to come forth. And it is a massive upheaval.
Old beliefs that have held us seemingly safe, though imprisoned in cultural agreements that separate us from one another, are losing their grip: politically, economically and religiously. These beliefs and strongholds of separation are giving way to an understanding of unity. A profound sense of interconnection is emerging.
Our indigenous ancestors knew all things to be connected and equal in sacredness. And it is this awareness of oneness that is the lost thread, the dropped stitch, the forgotten truth that we are on the threshold of finally collectively remembering.
Our utter dependence on everything: on rain for grain to grow, on grain for plant eating creatures to survive, on herbivores for flesh eating creatures to thrive, on carnivores for balance in the intricate system of life, and on and on the circle goes to where everything is needed, everything is enriched by, through and for this wise and wonderful diversity, this magnificently interdependent Creation.
We are not separate and apart. The hunger for peace, the desire for abundance and justice for all beings, the need to be harmonious with the vast family of creation has now become essential if we are to thrive. We must find our way to be awake enough to be able to say to a stone, a tree, a bird, a whale … “I am another yourself.”
We are all aspects of the One Great Vibrating Matrix. We are a massive, living, energetic Being that is made up of all of creation. We are cells in the body of Christ, thoughts in the mind of Buddha, jewels on the web of Grandmother Spider. And this is the time of our awakening, the time of coming home to the Great Self.

Dear, Dear Ann
Thank you for sharing your astute wisdom, so eloquently written. We are in the worst of times and the best of times. Our planet is crying out to be heard, old institutions are (thankfully) beginning to crumble and a new beginnings are opening for a greater sense of co-operation, community and a knowing that WE ARE ALL ONE. Many gifted people are coming forward with solutions to save our planet and ourselves. What can each of us bring to the table?
Our thoughts and emotions are powerful, and we need to express and clear our fears and frustrations. Using self-care modalities such as Emotional Freedom Technique, aka EFT/Tapping can help clear these. Then, we then must look to the HOPE, GOODNESS, and LOVING HUMANITY that is all around us.
In Gratitude,
