Dr. Heather, I posted a comment yesterday that had some pretty stunning connections between what I'm experiencing this week and the topics Dr. Elisabet brought up and how confirming that is and how you're both a beautiful example of what the Collective Integrated Mind should be, but it got deleted so I guess the Universe wanted me to just say *THANK YOU!*

[@LaurieHuntsinger]

I am so intrigued with the current changes. I truly feel that we are heading toward more oneness and will not have huge events happen to Mother Gaia. In my heart, I believe the smaller weather, volcano, and earthquake events along with the youth on the planet are going to be the first generations to break the old cycles. Oneness is here. It's building every day. So grateful to both of you for your wisdom and insight.

[@HeatherEnsworth]

Thank you for these insights. I do believe that if enough of us humans awaken and come back into right relationship with the Earth, this can be a more gentle transition as you suggest. Thank you.

[@celiaalvarezphd.8425]

Thank you Drs. Elisbet and Heather for a profound and illuminating conversation on the lessons we as a humanity can learn from the evolutionary process of nature over the course of this planets existence, I loved the parallels with our own human evolution at this time, at the crossroads to have to shift into collaborative agreements among equals to not only survive as a species but essentially mature and thrive as co-creators and beings of nature. So appreciated the analogies with nature --- the shift of the caterpillar releasing its skin and form to activate its new beingness as a butterfly; and our need to listen to nature, to the animals, releasing all thought of human superiority as a species, and learning from nature. Thank you for acknowledging the wisdom of the ancestors, of indigenous peoples and what they can offer and teach us, about collaboration, oneness with the all, respect for the individual in the context of the collective. Inspiring indeed, so glad to have joined in and so appreciate your offering us this opportunity to be touched by your wisdom. Blessings.

Sorry Heather, but I have been shown Humans were seeded on to Our beautiful Earth Mother and the Human Vessel is divinely and magically created by High consciousness. We Devolved since being seeded WE did not Evolve here. Now is the time of Evolution and the BioSpiritual ReGenesis. As Within As Without Humanity ❤

[@HeatherEnsworth]

I do believe that we have devolved across the last 5000 years as we have forgotten our connection with Spirit and with the oneness of all of life. And it is truly time for us to heal and evolve, and I love your term - biospiritual regenesis. Thank you.

[@victoriaroe8977]

Thank you Heather for your comment. We are going the the Grand Procession and the BioSpiritual ReGenesis...the Human Vesssel I magically made to be in a state of constant Wholeness or Homeostasis. It has been since Our Earth Mother was pulled out of alignment with Our True North Pole Star Thuban 5000 K years ago and tethered to the Moon Chains that WE and ALL of Earth was thrust into this Inverted System that is clearly non Organic to WHO WE/Earth ARE.
