The Edge by Kerstin Unger-Salén

The edge.


Can 10.000 lemmings be wrong?

Are we like the lemmings, all walking towards the edge unaware of the precipitation awaiting us or just not knowing how to stop? In nature life is balanced, the pendulums movement in search of balance, is what brings evolution forward. This movement of energy spirals us into life whilst stagnation, or lack of vitality and energetic power, is death. Mother Nature is highly capable just as the cosmos to deal with equilibrium; Breathing in and breathing out, in a continuum of readjustments and new creations.

However, the human specie, increasingly devoid from nature’s wisdom, walks blindfolded on the edge. Drawn by the surge of adrenalin as it makes us feel a live, we fail to recognize the danger it involves. Besides, man thinks he is guided by rationality, one thing at a time kind of stuff, but in fact, he/she acts and reacts out of the unconscious most of the time. Like lemmings running erratically from one edge to another, we endlessly try to keep in control. Never the less, now that we have controlled our environment to a great extent, fear is more than ever penetrating our awareness, having lurked in the basement of subconscious it’s now making its way to the surface of our existence. Fear is creating havoc in the world, we’re looking for solutions underground or up in the air, unaware that the most obvious is just in front of us. It just might be so that through our makings and the irreversibility of all that , we are not only making plants and animals extinct ,but also actively planning for are our own extinction.

“Don’t worry! This was just a very sinister thought swiftly passing by in my darkest moment of the night.”

Here’s the real news.

We never asked the question; “On the edge of what? Didn’t you know? We’re on the edge of a new era, with an enormous paradigm-shift in its making, where nothing looks like it used to do. Quantum-physics is telling us it’s all in the dark holes, there is no such thing as separation, we’re all in this soup together, Newton is dead, and consciousness causes reality and brings about form and matter.

Cosmos is an ancient living being with a consciousness that is looking at us trying to wake us up from the dream we are dreaming. It’s all in the eye of the beholder, and “those who have eyes shall see.” If we don’t peep through the keyhole, there’s nothing to perceive, nothing is there. Or, might I say, put on your night-torch because it’s the direction and focus of the torch-beam that makes us aware of what is. The more unfocused our beam is the less we perceive. Actually there might be nothing if the torch isn’t functioning. Oh dear, this is getting very complicated.

Here’s another one: Imagination, our inner vision and capacity to see what isn’t there in front of us, drives us forward, attracts manifestation, heals us and is the connection with reality. Lack of it must be very dangerous as it prevents us from for-seeing. Imagine if we were incapable of imagination, the consequence would be horrendous.

Some say we are dreaming up this world and the real thing is in next life. And yet, this is where we are, and we probably need to wake up right now.

In this wolf-hour of dawn I realize the profundity of the global shift we are in. It’s the life-line and as I’ m awake I can see our relationship with Mother Earth is changing for the better, more nurturing yin/feminine values are on their way, chaos is bringing about a new order, the sacredness of life will be revered and we will be able to stay here just a little longer. The soul of the night is rising, we can hear the beats of its wings and it will take us just where we need to be. All is one and all is fine. Kerstin Unger-Salén
