All the prophecies for the future of humanity emphasize that we must make a vast, collective leap in spiritual evolution. This is presented as indisputably necessary if we are to enter the Third Millennium, the age of peace and love.

Such a leap seems almost unattainable from our present state. How could it possibly happen, given the limited consciousness of so much of humanity today. However, all of the prophecies give us hope as they weigh in on this question, indicating in various ways how such an advance in spiritual awareness might come to be.

One way that this leap is prophesied to occur is through the appearance of a new species of human, one more capable of living in harmony with the Earth and our fellow humans. This indicates that Homo Sapiens may not be the final form that humans assume on this planet, but will be replaced by a further evolution of the human Homo line. A number of prophecies allude to the evolution of a new race of human being.

Chris Bache says that a new FORM or blueprint for humanity will emerge, and we will become Diamond Souls, luminous beings with profoundly awakened hearts. Ned Dougherty was shown that we would not remain the same as we are now, but would evolve into a new race, one that is more spiritually transformed than our current state. Edgar Cayce declares that a new ‘root race’ will appear. The Quechua-Incan prophecies state that a ‘new human’ will arise with a new and higher planetary consciousness. Peter Dunov states that a ‘sixth race’ of humanity will appear to inhabit a planet ruled by the Law of Love.

These prophecies indicate that our souls will be housed in a physical form that is more transparent to our true, spiritual nature. It won’t be as difficult to access and live from our spiritual selves as it currently is, and has been throughout human history.

Another pathway to living as True Nature is through divine intervention. There will be unmistakable help from the Universe to uplift our spiritual awareness.

Kali says that a great blast of spiritual light will elevate us in an instant to a much higher consciousness. In a similar vein, Peter Dunov speaks of a great wave of cosmic energy which will sweep the planet. Nao Deguchi speaks of a manifestation of divine power that will reconstruct the ‘Greater World’, which includes us, and change it into an entirely new creation. The Quechua-Incan prophecies say that the Solar Disc will be activated, and will send rays of light, love and wisdom throughout the world.

Yet another way is through cataclysmic earth changes.

Edgar Cayce speaks of volcanoes, a pole shift and the emerging or drowning of a number of landmasses. The Kogi say that the Earth will call on all the mighty forces of nature to destroy 70% of the planet. This will be a great cleansing of our current civilization, and a curing of the spiritual sickness that has created so much damage to the Earth. Peter Dunov predicts volcanos and earthquakes along with water replacing land, and land replacing water.

While all these pronouncements do not necessarily indicate a role for humanity in the spiritual changes to come, most prophecies go on to emphasize that we can and will influence the direction that humanity takes. We are not helpless to influence the course of events.

Nao Deguchi also lets us know that God is not omnipotent, but can only manifest this world in partnership with humanity. She directs us to ‘return to the sacred’ as partners with God in the co-creation of a new world order.

The Hopi tell us we must attend to living simply with ‘good hearts’, and in harmony with the Earth. Such actions will influence the timing and severity of the earth changes.

Baha’u’llah states that we must embrace ‘true religion’, see the Earth with the ‘eyes of spirit’, and live by the many moral and ethical principles that he taught. He says that the sooner and more energetically we embrace these actions, the sooner the Golden Age will appear.

Edgar Cayce tells is that we are full participants in the unfolding of events. What happens depends on our attitudes, and our greater spiritual understanding will eventually create the critical mass needed for the transition to a new consciousness. We can use our creative powers and our ideals for a future world to become builders of the New Millennium.

The Quechua-Incan prophecies tell us that we must actively participate in the great change of consciousness, letting go of hatred and war, and transforming ourselves through centering in the heart.

The Kogi state that humanity itself will determine the extent of the damage that the Earth inflicts upon us, and that the more we attend to healing the ecological destruction we have caused, the less the Earth will have to cleanse and purify herself through natural cataclysms.

So it seems urgent that we all turn to our own spiritual state, doing whatever we can to increase our spiritual vibration. We need to make an absolute priority of our personal and spiritual growth. Nothing is more important. And from that place of increased consciousness we need to attend to repairing the Earth and repairing our relationships with ourselves and each other, all while holding the vision of the better world to come. We may be transitioning into a new, more spiritual species, and being subjected to the brilliant light of divine interventions and the shaking up and purifying of great Earth changes, but in the end our own level of awareness will be a great driver of the leap into a new way of being.
