This kind of change requires a high degree of determination and self-awareness. The knowledge that assures us that we can effect what happens in our lives is a crucial part of our ability to effect our survival of this crisis.
All the sciences point ever more firmly to our ability to take the reins and have more conscious control of ourselves, and it is time that we take responsibility and do so, already.
The last obstacle is establishing urgency and intensity in the determination to change, which must be generated from within, and the only way to do that is through love. That love must be for others and for ourselves equally. Neither side of that equation can be out of balance. We must love and take care of each other with great deliberateness and earnestness, for this to be effective, and just as the chemistry of negativity has spread through our culture down through the eons, we can now spread it's antidote, with conscious spiritual intent.
Our ancestors had eons to spread the hate and abuse, so we can't expect the change to happen overnight. It's important to persist and be steadfast, because we are at the tipping point. Ancient calculations from past civilizations may disagree on various of the smaller points- but most point to this general era in time.
All the planetary and galactic alignments leading up to this point add to the impetus too. We've already been at it for quite awhile, and we are in the middle of the process. We make the mistake of expecting it to happen in sound-bytes, with a soundtrack written by Phillip Glass, narrated by Alistair Cooke, and fit neatly into a spectacular 45 minute time-slot.
We are in the middle of an extinction event, worrying about what we are going to wear to the apocalypse!
