Before this current world virus struck the future was rather predictable with most things, social, political, economic, religious simply doing the same ol’ with a few adjustments here and there. And though there were pockets of new paradigms being floated they were not necessarily gaining traction.


The New Agers were typically the ones who had the most sweeping vision of the world to come or at least the one that was most desired. The momentum of comfort zone and normal and tradition provided the strongest resistance to these “lunatic fringe” folks. And so the loving One World limped along, living strongly within some and the farthest thing in the mind of others…and all that lies between.


And, just to underscore this point, it all comes down to what is going on within the individual as far as perception, belief, and action. And herein, was the greatest challenge for one’s perception is strongly influenced by the degree of energetic toxicity that is still influencing how one sees and experiences the “world”. Since most are not very willing to upset their own apple cart as long as Amazon keeps free delivery going. Then the status quo is safe to chug along on the fringe of misery staring out at the dreamy world that could be.


Well, early 2020 has changed all of that. The human machinery in so many ways has ground to a halt, or at least slowed down to the point that most are seeing a new world potential taking shape out of the clearing fog. Now whether they are paying attention is another story.


There is commonality to the collective human design. Each of us has the capacity to live in that design by choice. That would be amazing. But the thing that stands in the way is the what we are used to, the programming, and again, the degree of unprocessed energetic residue from this incarnation and to a lessening degree, previous incarnations.


Staying in place free from the influence of the what has been has been profound for more than just a handful. Stepping away from the drug of normal has allowed individuals to see how much of themselves they have invested into false promises of a good life…when the design is set to create the amazing life. We are just beginning to see that in a large way, the emperor has no clothes. In other words, things are not the way we have been programmed, er, I mean taught. And, the longer this goes then the more people will gain clarity so that when the mandate is lifted, there may not be such a push to return to “normal”.


I have found that the world is much more peaceful and nurturing in a variety of ways. One of the most important is that I have seen that I do not need much and that I can get along quite nicely separate from the incessant urge to buy something. The economic machinery is teetering. Indentured servitude was never really what people wanted, it just sort of slowly crept up until it had us by the wallet, I mean, credit card, always poised for the late night click when so many felt so empty and fulfilled and directionless.


I have seen and felt that Nature is thriving without the incessant human pollution that was such a common and accepted part of existence before. The severe reduction of autos on the road and factories shut down has done wonders for the air quality and the general sense of well being for those humans who venture outside to feel it and experience its sweet wash.


I sometimes wonder what hand the Great Mother had in manufacturing that little bug to do its tragic and yet, transformational, work?


I have seen, in my own industry of music, that the stay in place has fostered a revolution in Internet streaming of music and ideas, with almost everyone with the bandwidth able to share their music like never before. Indeed, the world has opened up and gotten smaller as well. This is incredible because it takes away the wishing and hoping helplessness that the “common man’ felt when all had to be done before through contracts and being discovered, etc.


In the homes themselves, every individual is being offered the opportunity to look at themselves in many ways that the previous diversionary routine would not allow. And though many simply tried to put a new routine in place, there are only so many ways to clean the closet before we realize that we have to let go of a lot more than our first brush through netted. There are only so many Netflix binge watch series to be seen before even the most addicted realizes that there is more to my life than this.


People are waking up because they are being invited, and actually, pushed to do so. I call it Celestially Grace that has set the table for a great reawakening to our original design. Let me share some of the new perspectives via excerpts of the songs I have written while staying in place.


It used to be my life was fine or so it seemed to me
I went about my moments doing what I learned to be
Then one day a virus came it put me in my place
And I was forced to look at me
in a whole lotta brand new ways


 And the longer it goes  The More I know
 That the way I was being’s not the me I believe in            
 And I’m startin’ to see that it’s time to let that go
 And the longer it goes  The more I flow
 In a world that is greener Breathing air that is cleaner
 There’s a brand new demeanor
 In the hearts of people I know
      
from The Longer It Goes, c. 2020. Mark Stanton Welch



How can you take a routine and tear it all apart
To give yourself a chance for a brand new start
You dive into the Now to find the spaces within time
And soon you find the land of in-between
We’re living in a time when the rules of life are Kind of falling
Down around this Earth under the Sun
It’s like this when days become One
     
from When Days Become One, c. 2020. Mark Stanton Welch


It turns out what I’m tired of is choices I have made
To rarely seize the moment to just hesitate away
Retreat into creation as my safe and magic land
To shutter out the offerings refuse the reaching hands…
I’m tired


So, here in isolation it’s me that’s in review
I’m facing what I’m tired of and learning I can choose
To finally let the Truth of Me be that which I ignite
And step into the flowing land of Universal Light…inspired
     from I’m Tired of This, c. 2020. Mark Stanton Welch



Today I stood at the mirror
I tried to look in his eyes
I kept blinking and turning away
But one time I thought I saw a light

The more I looked in the mirror
the brighter that light did glow
Felt like I was witnessing rebirth
Of someone I love but forgot I know
    
 from Mirror Mirror on the Wall, c. 2020. Mark Stanton Welch



There was so much separation  
There was monumental greed                         
There was appearance infatuation   
Turning backs on human need

Mother Nature’s changing climate  
With a constant wash of fear
The closing of the borders  
With liars being cheered

It was profit before compassion  
The masses consciously out of touch
An endless push for my way  
It was “hate you very much”
     from, Life Before the Virus, c. 2020. Mark Stanton Welch



A hundred million messages streaming from the stay in place
Isolation reach out we feed into the silent space
Deliver who I am out to a world I’ve never met
Ignite the new connection from devices on a desk
We’re entering Aquarius at last


Hearts are bursting open as we look into ourselves
A flood of new ideas that we just took down from our shelves
Streaming out to penetrate the fortress of the past
Humanity in motion everyone gets heard at last
We’re entering Aquarius at last
     
from, The Joy of Streaming, c. 2020. Mark Stanton Welch


Everything that I see is a reflection of me   

Of the Love I Am inside
Everything that I see is a reflection of me  

It’s a Truth I can’t deny
And when I look into the world I see the world I’ve made
My thoughts my words my actions

have made it be that way
I really am connected to the One and Everything
And when I choose to live this way

my heart and life do sing


Everything that I see is a reflection of me   

Of the Love I Am inside
Everything that I see is a reflection of me  

It’s a Truth I can’t deny
The beautiful the challenges are born right here in me
And if I want to change it I Am the single key
I really am connected to the One and Everything
And when I choose to live this way

my heart and life do sing

You get the picture. For over three weeks I let these songs reveal themselves and, sure, there are recurring themes, but how could there not be. The songs evolved as time went on with stay in place. And this is a critical point that in so many ways will determine the future of us all at this critical juncture.


People are tired of being told what to do. The first waves are in the throngs who gbet outside in a moment of rebellion. Yay…or maybe not?. What this tells me is that the shit is about to hit the inner fan. Those who are willing to risk consequences just to get away from being with themselves points at how strong the woundings and the energetic resistance are. And herein, is the greatest obstacle to the Oneness that the Universe is integrating into humanity: the personal loyalty to the person I believe I have been. Here, in many cases, on the brink of inner revelation and outer manifestation of a connected world, people are letting their pent up energetics sabotage the bigger plan for the sake of “I’m tired of this…and here in America, nobody tells me what to do…well, except Amazon, or the NRA, or Wal-Mart, or my party, or the NFL, or the police, …


It is my opinion that we are just on the brink of transformation. Systems are teetering and new visions are formulating. Changes that seemed impossible at the beginning of the year are taking shape. Things will NOT be the same again…and that is wonderful news.


I have always had a vision of what can be…perhaps because I remembered my life before incarnation and how wonderful it really is. That memory is fleeting and amorphous, but if feeds my work and my music. And even though I am not living it yet, I know it is coming. That feeds my urgency in doing this work. It’s not that time will run out because by now we know that it will unfold in its time…or not…no big…just what is. It is that I am so ready for it because I have spent so many lives keeping the vision alive in any who had the receptivity and the frequency to match.


The vision of the world that is coming lives in the heart of every newborn child, and, depending on the energetic influence of the family of origin, will thrive or disappear into the tragedy of conformity. The simpler life is the one of the child…and that is the one that is on the horizon. Reconnecting with the panorama of life is the promise. It always has been. It was why we chose to be here in the first place…the Celestial vacation on the remarkable living planet where I can frolic through my moments and live as the unique element of Source simply designed for experience.


If you want details, then look back to Session Action Seven for the first taste. Sure, I can pull up a bunch more and paint a picture that will resonate your heart but also stir resistance because it just seems so far-fetched. Sure, it does, based on your point of view…you, of then or now. But, that will not come soon, if we do not take conscious action now, responding to the Celestial opening that has “befallen” us.


It was a little ol bug that changed the world
It was a little ol bug that made the truth unfurl
It was a little ol bug that took normalcy away


It was a little ol bug that brought us all together
It was a little ol bug that made nature better
It was a little ol bug that took normalcy away

     from, A Little Ol’ Bug, c. 2020. Mark Stanton Welch.



The form of the future is in your hands. How shall you respond to this unprecedented wake up call that has been gifted us?


We keep on thinking we’re destroying the Earth
When we are damaging our own selves
The Earth is a reflection of the current human state
What the Earth is showing us is we’re not doing so well


We’re meant to thrive together we’re meant to flow along
When we take care of ourselves we nourish this Earth
And we join in harmonious song
  
 In a healing world we tend our inner garden
 We simply love ourselves until the Earth can tell
 And she responds with Shangra La
 In a healing world we serve  the needs of one another
 We are connected to life from the out and inside
 A community of One    of One
     
from, A Healing World, c. 2020. Mark Stanton Welch


This world is not the same… and is now extending the advanced invitation to jump with open heart, mind, and hands, into fulfilling the promise of this 2020 crack in the cosmic egg that lays the sweeping promise of thriving in this paradise we find ourselves. Please, do your part…you will know what that is each moment you move forward with the trust that is required of the supreme adventurer…
