Collective Consciousness -The Good, the Bad and the Ugly.

by Debra Lynn McClellan We are all embarking on our own spiritual journeys, and some form of fate or destiny has brought us all together with the commonality of the work of the Divine via the cosmic channel of Panache Desai. And we all know in our hearts and souls that this is an extremely meaningful development. With any metaphysical or esoteric work we are individually involved in, whether we are aware of it or not, we are already coming together in a collective way. The transformations we are experiencing are happening in the collective consciousness that extends to our entire planet. While this is often happening outside of our consciousness, what would happen if we came together in a very conscious and deliberate way? Eckhart Tolle says in the Power of Now The time-bound mode of consciousness is deeply embedded in the human psyche. But what we are doing here is part of a profound transformation that is taking place in the collective consciousness of the planet and beyond: the awakening of consciousness from the dream of matter, form, and separation. The ending of time. We are breaking mind patterns that have dominated human life for eons. Our old patterns to which he speaks refers to the collective unconscious; the black-sheep sibling, the red-headed step-child that we are moving away from as we purposely move towards the collective consciousness; the cosmically educated trail-blazing bright star of the family. We live in a very interesting time where so many of us are seeking a different way of living, thinking, feeling; yet we remain influenced by many who are not. More and more people are accepting that there is a different way of being. And at the same time, the Universal Law of Rhythm dictates that as you see this metaphorical pendulum swing forcefully and gracefully in one direction, it is an undeniable fact that the pendulum swings in the opposite direction with equal momentum. Good has its opposite.

The Good: The internet has really accelerated the extremes of this phenomena because on one hand you have the technology that has surpassed our expectations of what is even possible, where we have access to infinite amounts of information that can assist us in our evolution, where we can come together for good and pure purposes. We can connect globally in ways we didnt have just a few short years ago, nor could we imagine. Ill never forget the day that I watched the first webcast that Oprah Winfrey did with Eckhart Tolle in 2007. I knew this was big, very big, and it was really easy to believe that this was enough information to affect change in the world, as we knew it. Change didnt seem to happen at the magnitude that I thought it would, but back then I probably had not yet realized that I couldnt change the world; I could only change myself, thus holding back the process. And today, having the technology to come together at one moment in time to be in the pure and divine energy we call Panache Desai is nothing short of a miracle. And if we take what weve learned and continue to develop it ourselves, what could the effect be? The Bad: On the other hand, the internet provides the ability to mass spread news of doom and gloom and horror in a way that no longer even has to be factual. Remember the days when a journalist had to have proof of what they had written before it was printed? Not so much anymore. So there is also the ability to mass inform in ways that do not serve us. The Ugly: But equally damaging is the way that people can anonymously say the most horrible things to each other, with no accountability whatsoever. A really good example of this is People Magazine. Are the articles or headlines even of their own sources? Often not. Recently when renown psychic Sylvia Browne passed away, they couldnt just say that she had died. They had to mention her perceived failures as though that was all she was.

And with any article like this, just check out the comments where random people are allowed to say whatever nasty thing they have in their minds. This is a phenomena that makes me physically ill, so you can imagine the damage it does to the psyche of people that contribute to it or read it. I think that when unconscious people read such things, their first instinct is to contribute their own derogatory comment, either about the subject of the article or the person who commented before them, like playground bullies. Old fashioned playground bullies had to at least be willing to risk retaliation! Until my first 21 Day in December 2013, I did not participate in Facebook, because its another example of the ability for people to air their dirty laundry, family differences, criticize and degrade one another. Id seen it happen multiple times and often people arent even aware of what they are doing. And swing to the polar opposite: Facebook for the 21 Day Immersions being used in a totally supportive, empathetic and helpful way as people try to dust the crap out of the corners of their being. My faith was renewed and I had to apologize to Facebook for all the terrible things Id said about her in the past! The Future: Over the many years Ive been on this learning path Ive never stopped thinking about the collective consciousness and the power that I knew was there. However, until November 2013, for me it was still a mental thought-form. The first time I heard Panache speak in a live internet event, I recognized it immediately. It was the reason I choose to embark on my first 21-day ascension. And then another, and another to come. Having experienced the collective conscious for the first time, and then again and again on the live events, Ive come to feel a responsibility to the concept of coming together with like-minded people to raise the vibration of our own existence and for those we know and love, and for those we will never meet but wait for our help. For our friends and loved ones that wouldnt come on this same journey we are on, even with neon signs of what is happening, they would remain kicking and screaming.

The world that we know is changing. But it wasnt always this existence we know today. Consider ancient civilizations (ancient Egyptians or Lemurians, for example) whose consciousness was much more centered in the spiritual and emotional plane or dimension compared to our Modern Day World mentally based, physically dense existence. Comparatively speaking, I sometimes feel like a complete dunce when I cannot get out of my own head long enough to fully accept what is now available to me. Im sure there are various theories about why our conscious memories were erased and we were put back to the Go spot. Some of the people on our planet just get go to jail cards; others possess the get out of jail free cards. Some have all the wealth and others can barely hold on to Baltic Avenue; while others on our planet only dream of a Baltic Avenue. I think that those of us here, right now, are in a Free Parking sort of place. Will we take advantage of that and plan our next moves strategically? Im not quite sure of the reason our conscious minds were erased, but I do not believe that its just coincidence that we are here together at this place and time. I would venture to say that a vast majority of people here have walked hard roads in their lives; and a vast majority of us still are, with the purpose of giving us a deep understanding of where we have been and where we need to go. The question is, can get out of our own ways, consciously cease to minimize our suffering, and consciously make it our work or destiny to raise the vibration, and keep our own vibration as high as possible as often as possible. We are human beings, so we arent always going to be on the plane of, say, Panache. Im sure he gets angry and bummed, but energetically speaking, he seems to be the exception of what densities he allows to affect him. I feel that when Im ever that good, Ill probably no longer living in a body, but I can try nevertheless! Do we want to make a difference? Because the only way we can do that is to practice it. Many of us that just finished the January 21 Day are still

neck deep in our own stuff. I know that day 22 for me was devastating. Day 23 is better, but I know that as soon as I can stay out of my head and stop embracing all my physical existence crap, even for short periods of time, Im one step closer to contributing to the planet in better ways than I ever thought myself worthy. I think that we all know inside that things on our planet cannot continue the way they are going. And while Im not predicting disaster, I am predicting that those of us that are on a spiritual plane will be the ones that carry on no matter what happens. Thank you all so much.
