As you are well aware, we, as Humankind are being inundated with problem after problem, issue after issue in a multi-pronged attack,all having grave consequences if we do not resolve them. However, the challenge and enormity of finding solutions to these issues leave most of us feeling powerless, overwhelmed and hopeless. But Einstein provided a hint as to how we can resolve these issues: “Problems cannot be solved at the same level of awareness that created them.” What lies at this next level? Numerous ancient civilizations also provided hints as they spoke of the time we are now living as a time when Humankind would undergo a "test" - one which would would bring us together and culminate in “The Great Awakening”; “The Shift of the Ages”; “The Next Stage of Human Evolution”… Intrigued? Author Lauren Tratar peels back the layers of current events and provides a perspective which reveals their "higher purpose" - what is really happening in our world - so that YOU can help make a difference at this historic critical juncture! (Hint: The Ancient Maya tell us that the degree of pain we experience during this transition is directly commensurate with how long it takes us to wake-up!)

1. RESOLVING ISSUES AT THE NEXT LEVEL
OF AWARENESS

2. “There is a place
beyond right and
wrong.
I will meet you
there.”
— Rumi

3. “In the long history of the
world, only a few
generations have been
granted the role of
defending freedom in its
hour of maximum danger...
The same revolutionary
beliefs for which our
founding fathers fought are
still at issue around the
globe... That torch has now
been passed to our
generation. The trumpet
summons us again to give
testimony to (not only) our
national loyalty... (But) to
now defend the freedom of
Man.”
- John F. Kennedy
1961 Inaugural Address

4. “We stand at a critical moment in Earth’s history, a time when
humanity must choose its future. As the world becomes
increasingly interdependent, the future at once holds great
peril and great promise. To move forward we must recognize
that in the midst of a magnificent diversity of cultures and life
forms, we are one human family with a common destiny.”
— the Earth Charter

5. “Humankind is standing precariously on the edge of its destiny. It
will either rise to a paradigm change or experience decline or
possible destruction. This is an unavoidable confrontation.”
— Glenda Green
Love Without End -pg 140

6. The Significance of the Time We are Now Living

7. The Shift of the Ages
The Great Awakening
The Golden Age of Truth and Knowledge

8. ancient Mayans
We are exiting the Fifth Age of Man –
the “Age of the Intellect”
And entering the Sixth Age of Man —
the “Age of the Gods”

10. The Maya explain that when a civilization arrives at the end of a
“great cycle,” it is given the opportunity to evolve, but if it fails
the ‘test,’ the evolution of man must start all over again.

11. The Maya spoke of the 25 years preceding 2012 as the
“Great Hall of Mirrors,” for during this era we would forced to
look in the mirror and examine our behavior with ourselves,
others and nature.

12. “We are now in a transition period called the
‘Cycle of the Merge of the Dark and the Light’
where Earth will transcend to a new level of
consciousness but to get there we must transform
enormously powerful forces that seek to block the way.
Now is the time to awaken and take action.
This is a crucially important moment for
humanity and for Earth.”
— Gerardo Barrios

13. Hopi prophecies
We are exiting the
“Fourth World of Destruction”
and entering the
“Fifth World of Peace”

14. The Hopi warn that humankind now stands at a critical point of
decision where we must choose
everlasting life or total destruction.

15. The Hindu Prophecies separated the great cycle into periods
known as Yugas. They tell us that we are now living at the close
of the Kali Yuga: an era characterized by darkness, suffering,
greed, and violence.
But we are now transitioning into the “Satya” Yuga - an era
characterized by virtue and wisdom where misery, hatred, and
illness no longer exist.

16. The Hindu explain that the transition into the Satya
Yuga would occur when problems became amplified
and hypocrisy reached its zenith.
For the discomfort resulting from these experiences
would compel us to seek solutions which would then
usher in the next stage of evolution.

17. ancient EGYPTIANS
tell us that we are exiting the Age of Pisces
and entering the Age of Aquarius

18. The Egyptians possessed an astonishingly accurate zodiac
calendar which spanned thousands of years.

19. This calendar ended on September 17, 2001;
six short days after the September 11 attacks –
a day that changed the course of history.
Some say that September 2001 marked the beginning
of the most intensive phase of the “test” we are now
going through where the level of our collective
consciousness would be revealed...

21. “The knowledge to unlock the ancient mysteries was to be
revealed at a pivotal moment in history where mankind could no
longer survive without the ancient knowledge.
At this dark crossroads, mankind will herald in a wondrous new
age of enlightenment.
That moment is fast approaching —
it is always darkest before dawn.”
— dan brown
The Lost Symbol pg-328

22. We have now
reached a
pivotal
point in our
evolution, one
where we must
first
pass a test
before we can
move onto the
next stage of
evolution

23. Kardashev Scale
Level One
Civilization:
1) lives peacefully
2) does not
cannibalize its
biosphere
3) has sustainable
energy systems
which do not
damage the
environment

24. The Apocalypse… which in Greek means….

25. And as we lift this veil we see that our world is run by puppet
masters who control us through our monetary system…

26. And this manipulation was exposed in a 2012 study by three Swiss
scientists who created a computer program that analyzed the
ownership of 43,060 Trans-National Corporations. They found that
147 firms are running our world and of these firms, 75% are banks.

27. “The real rulers in
Washington are invisible and
exercise their power from
behind the scenes."
— Justice Felix Frankfurter
(1882 –1965)
adviser of President Franklin
Roosevelt, who appointed him to the
Supreme Court in 1939. served on the
Supreme Court for 23 years

28. “In the US today, we
have in effect two governments. We
have the duly constituted government,
then we have an independent,
uncontrolled and uncoordinated
government in the Federal Reserve,
operating the money powers which
are reserved to Congress by the
Constitution.”
— Congressman Wright
Patman
(1893–1976)
chair of the House Committee
on Banking and Currency (1965–1975)

29. “The real truth of the
matter is, as you and I
know, that a financial
element in the large
centers has owned the
government since the
days of Andrew
Jackson.”
— President Franklin D.
Roosevelt
(1882–1945)

30. “The government, which was
designed for the people, has got
into the hands of the bosses and
their employers, the special
interests. An invisible empire has
been set up above the forms of
democracy.”
— president Woodrow
Wilson
(1856–1924)

31. “Give me control of the
German media, and I can
control the German
people.”
— Dr. Joseph Goebbels
(1897-1945)
Hitler's propaganda minister
in Nazi Germany from 1933 to 1945

32. “None are more hopelessly
enslaved than those who
falsely believe they are free.
The truth has been kept from
the depth of their minds by
masters who rule them with
lies. They feed them on
falsehoods till wrong looks
like right in their eyes."
— Von Goethe
(1749 –1832)
German writer, artist, and
politician

33. “When a well-packaged
web of lies has been sold
gradually to the masses
over generations, the truth
will [at first] seem utterly
preposterous and its
speaker, a raving lunatic.”
— Dresden James

34. Now that the veil is lifting and we can see that our world has
been manipulated by these puppet masters, it appears that we
have an enormous task in front of us…

35. “Problems cannot be solved at the same level of awareness that
created them.” — ALBERT EINSTEIN

37. Steven Schwartz
“Through Heaven’s
Eyes”

38. What are we doing here
and
Why is life so difficult?

39. Earth is a schoolroom

40. What’s the curriculum?

41. The evolution of consciousness

42. The expansion
of
understanding
and awareness
through
experience

43. Is there an underlying structure to the evolutionary process?

44. “A Theory of Everything”
by Dr. Ken Wilber

45. Spiral Dynamics

46. Humanity is divided into 8 distinct
levels of consciousness –
each representing a stage of
evolution or a grade in the
schoolroom of Planet Earth.

47. 1st Meme: Survival
food, clothing shelter.
0.1% of the worlds adult population
0% power.

48. 2nd Meme: Tribal: People join together to seek safety from
outside threats.
10% of the population, 1% of the power.

49. 3rd Meme: “Power Gods”:
Individuals emerge to conquer,
outfox and dominate.
20% of the population, 5% of the
power.

50. 4th Meme: Herd Mentality: Strict code of conduct is enforced
based on specific interpretation of "right" and "wrong."
40% of the population, 30% of the power.

51. 5th Meme:
Scientific: The
“rational” laws of
science rule
everything.
30% of the
population, 50%
of the power

52. 6th Meme: “Green Peace”: Cherishes the Earth and hates Humanity. Believes
that humanity must be freed from greed, dogma, and divisiveness.
10% of the world’s population, 15% of the power.
[It is estimated that 20-25% of the American population is in this meme.]

53. The first 6
memes are
referred to
as First-Tier
Thinking

54. “My beliefs are
right, yours are
wrong, and if I
can’t convince
you of the err of
your ways,
I had better rid
the world of your
kind or else the
world will go to
hell in a hand
basket!”

55. However, about 35 years ago, Dr. Clare Graves, whose
Psychological research became the foundation for Spiral
Dynamics, found that a momentous transformation was occurring
in Humankind, both psychologically and physiologically.
He described this phenomenon as Second-Tier thinking where a
“chasm of unbelievable depth of meaning is crossed.”

56. He estimated that 1 in 10,000 brains had developed different
biological features and frequencies: that these people didn’t conform
to the norms of society because their minds were wired for a different
paradigm.

57. 7th Meme: Integrative: Begins to understand the bigger picture;
recognizes that each meme is crucially important to the whole
and to the evolutionary process.
1% of the population, 5% of the power.

58. 8th Meme: Holistic:
Understands the bigger
picture. Incorporates all of the
memes; sees multiple levels of
interaction; detects harmonics
and mystical forces.
0.1% of the population, 1%
of the power.

59. However, because almost 100% of Earth’s population is now mired in
First-Tier Thinking, how are we going to move into the next stage of
evolution if people are so busy trying to convince others that they are
wrong, they can’t see what is happening right in front of their eyes…

60. So what’s it going to take to shake
people out of their complacency
and pry them away from Dancing
with the Stars and American Idol?

61. What’s it going to take to enrage people to the degree that they
get mad as hell and refuse to take it any more?

62. For the Path we are now on leads to only one conclusion:

63. So what’s it going to take to force Humanity to examine the path we
are now on?

64. Events of Magnitude…

74. How far do the
Powers-That-Be
have to go before we say
“ENOUGH”!

75. “Find out just what the people will
submit to and you have found the
exact amount of injustice which will
be imposed upon them; and this
injustice will continue until it is
resisted with either words or blows,
or with both.
The limits of tyrants are prescribed
by the endurance of those whom they
oppress.”
— Frederick Douglass
(1818 – 1895)
Abolitionist, author, editor,
diplomat Civil rights activist, Aug. 4,
1857

77. If the evolution
of consciousness
is the prime
directive in this
schoolroom
called Planet
Earth, could
these enormous
challenges have
a higher
purpose?

78. “There are some things you learn best in calm,
and some in storm.”
— Willa Cather

79. “Conflict, pain, tension, fear, paradox.... these are
transformations trying to happen. Once we confront them, the
transformative process begins.”
— Marilyn Ferguson
The Aquarian Conspiracy pg 76

80. “As frightening or disempowering as world
events may appear, these events are a much
needed catalyst to provide people
an opportunity to shake off their
indifference, to take a stand for themselves and the
greater society. This is a most positive aspect
in social evolution.”
— PATRICIA CORi
No More Secrets, No More Lies

81. “Pain exists to promote evolution; its cumulative effect finally
forces us in a new direction.”
— Dr. David r. Hawkins
Power Versus Force pg 104
www.veritaspub.com

82. “The human spirit shines through in times of cataclysm and
crisis. As you rally to the call of the suffering, the love of
Spirit pours through you burning like lightening through the
dark clouds of human turmoil. Rising above your personal
concerns, you realize that those are your brothers and sisters.
You run to each other’s aid embracing the weak and wounded
and together you celebrate the One Heart:
the emerging soul of humanity.”
— PATRICIA CORI
Atlantis Rising pg 205

83. The Mission of the Freemasons corroborates this premise as the
Freemasons were the gatekeepers of the ancient mysteries.

84. “This knowledge was obscured for the same reason the
ancient mystery schools were hidden, the same reason the
neophytes had to be initiated before learning the secret
teachings, the same reason the scientists in the Royal
Academy of London refused to share their knowledge…..

85. ...this information is powerful.”
— DAN BROWN
The Lost Symbol pg-491

86. The Mission of the Freemasons is to spread the light as the world
becomes increasingly more interconnected.
Some have said that the Freemasons are a secret group of Jedi
knights fighting for the light; seeking to teach individuals to use
the force for themselves and to connect with something greater
than themselves.
Darkness needs to be fought because darkness takes away
everything that makes a human being unique in this Universe.
- Akram elias
33 degree freemason
quoted out of sequence from “codes and conspiracies” minutes 57:1:00

87. So problems are really
catalysts for evolution…

88. Could this battle
between dark and
light be a set-up which
serves as the “test”
from which to
measure
consciousness?

89. However, because people are now
awakening in record numbers to the deceit,
lies and manipulation, and realize that they
have been duped, they’re getting mad…

90. A window of opportunity now exists where you and I can make a
difference before the world erupts in destruction.
The time has come to learn what lies at the next level of awareness
and Einstein provides us a clue as to what exactly lies at this level:

91. “We shall require a
substantially new
manner of thinking
if mankind is to
survive.”
— ALBERT EINSTEIN

93. “We are now learning that the Ancients understood the power of
thought more profoundly than we do today for the ancient texts
are filled with excerpts which speak of the power of the mind.”
— DAN BROWN
The Lost Symbol pg 498

94. “The sacred wisdom contains knowledge of the true nature of man
buried in the secret covenants. It has been concealed throughout the
ages, awaiting a time in human evolution when consciousness would
be capable of taking giant steps and begin its journey into the
brilliance of enlightened mind and spirit. That evolutionary point on
the time-space continuum is now.”
— patricia cori
No More Secrets, No More Lies

95. The Essenes wanted us
to understand the
Power of Thought:

96. “No other creature in the kingdom of our Earthly mother is given
the power of thought. All the beasts that crawl and birds that fly
live not of their own thinking but of a law that governs all of life.
Only to the sons and daughters of man is given the power of
thought. And even that thought can break the bonds of death. Do
not think that because it cannot be seen that thought has no
power, for I’ll tell you truly: the lightning that cleaves the mighty
oak, the quaking that opens up cracks in the earth, these are like
the play of children compared to the power of your thought.”
— The Essene Gospel of Peace
Book 4

97. “For you know not the power of your thoughts. Know, Sons
of Light that your thoughts are as powerful as the bolt of
lightning that stabs through the storm and splits asunder
the mighty tree... Use then wisdom in all you think, and
say, and do... May the Law bless you with all good and
keep you from all evil, illumine your hearts with insight
into the things of life, and grace you with knowledge of
things Eternal.”
— The Essene Gospel of Peace
Book 4

99. As you can see, there is something very powerful working
beneath the surface of life experience:

100. THE POWER OF THOUGHT

101. Underlying the
power of thought is a
law the Ancients tell
us is the most
powerful law in the
Universe.

102. The Law of Attraction
Like energy attracts like energy

103. “Hear ye and listen O my children. Magic is knowledge and only is law.
Be not afraid of the power within thee for it follows law as the stars in the
sky. Follow ye and learn of my magic. Know that all force is thine if thou
fear not the path that leads thee to knowledge, but shun the dark road.
Light is thine, O man, for the taking. Know ye that thy soul is living in
bondage fettered by fears that hold ye in thrall. Man is only what he
believeth, a brother of darkness or a child of the light.”
— The Emerald Tablets of Thoth

104. “To obtain the treasures of the material world, O sons of men,
forego not the world of the Law...The communions of the Law
are perfect, converting the soul from darkness to light.”
— Essene Gospel of Peace

105. Your thoughts are like magnets which transmit
and receive energy

106. When you were born, you came equipped with an internal
guidance system that warns you when your thoughts are focused
in the wrong direction.

107. Just as your
physical
body warns
you of a
threat to its
well being
through
physical
pain...

108. Your emotional body
warns when your thoughts
are focused in the wrong
direction through
negative feelings

110. We have been playing the
game of life without a full
deck!

111. Your inner guidance
system warns you
when you when your
thoughts are focused in
the wrong direction
because it knows…

113. Your thoughts, feelings, beliefs, words, and actions act as
boomerangs magnetizing evidence of those thoughts, feelings,
beliefs, words and actions right back to you, thereby creating life
your experience.

114. What you sow with your dominant thoughts,
you reap in your experience!

115. “Of all the creatures of earth, only human beings can change
their pattern. Man alone is the architect of his destiny. The
greatest revolution in our generation is that of human beings,
by changing the inner attitudes of their minds, can change
the outer aspects of their lives.”
— William James

116. "I have come to the frightening conclusion that I am the decisive
element. It is my personal approach that creates the climate. It is
my daily mood that makes the weather. I possess tremendous
power to make life miserable or joyous. I can be a tool of torture
or an instrument of inspiration; it is my response that decides
whether a crisis is escalated or de-escalated, and a person is
humanized or de-humanized."
— von goethe

117. “Whatever the mind of man
can conceive and believe, it
can achieve.”
“I am the master of my fate, I
am the captain of my soul.”
“Man alone has the power to
transform his thoughts into
physical reality; man, alone,
can dream and make his
dreams come true.”
— napoleon hill

118. Believe that anything you can imagine, you can make real.

120. So how can we utilize the force, the
power of thought to resolve the crises
we are now facing?

121. By being the 100th monkey!

124. The Princeton Engineering Anomalies Research Lab (PEAR),
the Institute of Noetic Science (IONS),
and The Institute of HeartMath

125. In the late 1970’s, Princeton professor Robert Jahn was curious
to see if human thought could affect a random event generator –
a small device which utilizes a simple computer program that
produces an equal number of ones and zeros in random
sequences.

126. In 1998 Dr. Nelson shared these findings at a conference in
Vienna which spawned the Global Consciousness Project.
Forty generators were installed at laboratories all over the
world and created a network called the Electro-Gaia-Gram.
Twenty-four hours a day, the generators did as they were
programmed…

127. when a great number of people were focused on a singular event
the generators reported a deviation…

128. And this was seen
when over one billion
people watched the
funeral services of the
beloved Princess
Diana…

129. the O.J. Simpson trial, the Asian Tsunami, the Winter Olympics
in Japan, Hurricane Katrina, the NATO bombing of
Yugoslavia, as well as New Years Eve celebrations.
But an unparalleled increase in deviations was seen when people all
over the globe focused in horror on the tragedies of…

130. September 11, 2001

132. Two national weather
satellites also detected a
powerful spike in global
magnetism as well as a surge
in Earth’s magnetic field that
reached nearly 50 units
higher than any data
previously reported.

133. These results demonstrate that focused mass consciousness can
affect physical reality which begs the question:
Can this power be harnessed for good?

134. And the folks at the Institute of
HeartMath are doing just that.
They established The Global
Coherence Project with the
goal of utilizing thought to
avert or mitigate natural
catastrophes and create peace
on Earth.

135. 2011 Hurricane Irene

136. The damage caused by Hurricane Irene was
far less severe than what had been predicted.
According to the Ocean City police chief: “We
really dodged a huge bullet,” and residents
were pleasantly surprised that Irene hadn’t
been worse.

137. Dr. Masaru Emoto instructed
his students to focus various
thoughts onto beekers of
water before the water was
flash frozen.
The crystalline structure of
the water was clearly
affected...

138. Heavy Metal Music
You Make Me Sick,
I Will Kill You
Adolph Hitler
Thank You Love and Appreciation Mother Teresa

139. 1937 Nobel Prize winner,
Albert Szent-Gyorgyi tells us
that mind/body/energy
healing is not at all
unusual…

140. “In every culture and in every medical tradition before ours,
healing was accomplished by moving energy.”
— ALBERT SZENT-GYORGYI
(1937 Nobel Prize Winner)

142. “We are, without a doubt, at a turning point in the history of
utilizing belief in healing. As medical researchers, we expect
some exceptions and anomalies from our statistics. But finding
that patients who consistently follow doctor’s orders, believing
that doing so would make them well were twice as likely to live,
is sobering.”
— Dr. Herbert Benson
Timeless Healing: The Power and Biology of Belief pg 45

143. Just as Uncle Lazlo and his family were cured of their ailments
by simply taking Lifesavers®, we are now beginning to
recognize that it is not the medicinal
properties in drugs that produce cures, but the beliefs that we,
our doctors, or the original researcher holds
about that medicine which results in a healing or lack of
healing.

144. The miraculous ‘pill’ we were
waiting for science to deliver,
the panacea that would eliminate
illness is not
coming from science…

145. for that ‘pill’ exists within
each of us.

146. At the conclusion of the
Wizard of Oz Dorothy
believes that she will never
be able to return to her
loved ones back in Kansas.

147. In this agonizing moment,
Glinda, the good witch
appears...

148. Dorothy: ‘Oh, Glinda,
can you please help me
get back to Kansas?’

149. Glinda: ‘You don’t
need to be helped any
longer. You always had
the power to go back to
Kansas. It was inside
you.’

150. Scarecrow:
“Why didn’t you
tell her?’

151. Glinda:
‘She would not
have believed me.
She had to learn it
for herself.’

152. Just as you and I have to learn our lessons before we can
progress into our next stage of evolution.

153. “We are on the verge of a truly great period of illumination.
Of all the people who have ever lived, in all the eras of history
– we are the lucky ones to be experiencing this pivotal moment
in history. We are now in that narrow window of time during
which we will bear witness to our ultimate renaissance.”
— DAN BROWN
The Lost Symbol pg 409

154. “There is now incontrovertible evidence that we have entered
upon the greatest period of change the world has ever known.
The ills from which we are suffering have had their seat in the
very foundation of human thought. But today something is
happening to the whole structure of human consciousness. A
fresh new kind of life is starting. We are the children of
transition, not yet fully conscious of the new powers that have
been unleashed: there is for us in the future not only survival but
superlife.”
— Pierre Teilhard de Chardin

155. People all over the world are hungering for a solution to the
atrocities which are now occurring…

156. They are on their knees praying for answers which provide hope
for the future…

157. And you can help to
provide those answers

158. “Never doubt
that a small
group of
thoughtful
committed
citizens can
change the
world. Indeed,
it’s the only thing
that ever has.”
— Margaret
Mead

159. Are you willing to
help change the world?

160. Are YOU be willing to BE that 100th Monkey and utilize the power
of your thoughts to help create a positive future?

161. Or will you turn a blind eye in
skepticism, denial and apathy?

162. Will you simply close
your eyes and adopt the
potent stance of
indifference?

163. to be…

164. or not to be…

165. That really is the question.
