Last night, a friend and I went to see Captain Fantastic, a movie about a father (Viggo Mortensen) who raises his six children off the grid, in the wilds, teaching them about the power of nature and how to live off her bounty, and also teaching them about the power of the mind.
His intention was to raise them to be future Philosopher Kings, and the rigors of his teachings were relentless: regardless of the age of the child, they had to be experts in quantum physics, in literature and in the profound beauty of the music of Bach. In the profound beauty and the texts of the great world religions, without having an affiliation to any of them, in the wonder of science and in the lessons of history. And in the promises of their Constitution and their Bill of Rights, which they knew verbatim. The discipline of their minds matched the dexterity and the disciple of their bodies. They were pushed to the edge of their capabilities.
It was when they encountered the other world, the world of shopping malls and plasticity, of shallowness, a world where they were regarded as freaks and aliens, that decisions needed to be made as to what the next step of their evolution would entail.
In many ways, I had a childhood somewhat similar to this, where I was fortunate to have parents who stressed the gifts of the mind and the constant push to become better and better. They also stressed play, and the complete immersion in nature. I was reading War and Peace when I was 10, and I remember like the movie, entire evenings when the only sound that could be heard in our living room was the turning of the page.
In today's rapidly changing world I have found that I am not called to live off the grid solely, although it represents my solace and my joy as I strive to live my life in harmony and in balance. The world of the mind, the world of literature, philosophy and science, will no longer take us home, will no longer be the sole refuge that will lead us into a shining tomorrow, although they are important. In the 5d world into which we are rapidly moving, this grounding needs to be overlaid with Spirit, however we define that term to be, as it is in the fusion of Heaven and Earth that our new Dawn is emerging.
I believe that we are being bombarded with innovation and invention right now from the highest realms, realms that live within us, and that this bombardment is infusing every discipline, leading to wondrous new possibilities that we have not considered before.
We are building a new Atlantis.
For those who are of pure of heart and who live off the grid enough to listen, this information is being downloaded quite rigorously in order to produce a better world, in every way.
For myself, as much of a mystic and a seer that I am, I am also being called (fairly recently) to be in the global world of media and technology, as a business person. I am now in a world of great leading edge innovation, a world of boundless energy and drive, where anything is possible.
I continue to learn off the grid and will be a perpetual student of the silence within me. I walk in both worlds with increasing ease and grace. I am called to be practical in my mysticism and to employ the gifts that I have been given to help to build a better world that will serve the greatest good of all. That is the hallmark of the new Atlantis.
No one is being left behind, all are contributors, no matter where they live, or what their station in life consists of.
