			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="color: #000080;">Summer is in full swing, yet admidst all the celebration, we can&#8217;t close our eyes to such unprecedented catastrophic events as the <a href="http://www.aolnews.com/article/bp-oil-spill-nears-record-for-biggest-in-gulf/19538159">BP Oil Spill, </a>unresponsive government and United Nations initiatives that are not functioning. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000080;">Most of us are aware that we as a civilization are on the brink of a huge shift-the old paradigms are collapsing. </span><span style="color: #000080;"><strong><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1591810183?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=crosscurrecom-20&amp;linkCode=xm2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creativeASIN=1591810183"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-2558" title="jumptime" src="http://sherylsever.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/jumptime.jpg" alt="" width="190" height="288" /></a></strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000080;"> Thanks to initiatives such as <a href="http://www.transitionus.org/welcome-transition-us">Transition Towns</a>, <a href="http://www.awakeningthedreamer.org">Awakening the Dreamer,</a> <a href="http://www.fouryearsgo.org">FourYearsGo,</a> and thousands of organizations that are part of <a href="http://www.paulhawken.com/paulhawken_frameset.html">Paul Hawken&#8217;s</a> <a href="http://www.wiserearth.org">Wiser Earth</a>, communities are awakening and reclaiming their sovereignty with local food production, town hall meetings exploring alternatives to health care, crude oil, etc. and community educational and consciousness shifting opportunities that are bringing us back home to the common thread of our humanity.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000080;">The shifts and changes are uncomfortable for many , especially for those of us without strong family ties nearby, who have lost their j</span><span style="color: #000080;"> </span><span style="color: #000080;">obs and homes,  or for those living in urban areas where the social fabric is often weaker.<br />
</span></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #000080;">So what can we do to help each other? Who do you know that may be feeling especially uncomfortable in these times? </span></strong></p>
<p><span style="color: #000080;"><strong> Move beyond insular comfort. Expand your capacity for inclusivity.</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000080;"><strong> Take the time to reach out and really be present with someone that you normally would not.</strong></span><br />
<span style="color: #000080;"> </span><span style="color: #000080;"><strong>Enrolling people you trust and respect to help you and coach you is one of  the best ways to navigate the unknown</strong><strong>. </strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000080;"><strong>I am  here to support you through your shifts and changes.</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000080;"><strong><br />
</strong></span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #000080;"><em>Are we embryos in a cosmic womb, or are we cells  in a gigantic organism?<br />
To turn our consciousness to this kind of  speculation is to wrench<br />
ourselves from the rust of millennia, from  the habits of insular peoples &amp; ideas. </em></span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #000080;"><em>We are trying to make a  gigantic leap of faith &#8211; going<br />
cosmic without ever having  been there. </em></span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #000080;"><em>For do not doubt it folks, we are<br />
being prepared for the  biggest jump in history.</em></span></p>
