“You can’t change overnight the way your Earthly societies function, but you can individually demonstrate and model the foundational qualities of an awakened species immediately—by going first.”

Neale Donald Walsch – Conversation with God 4

That’s the power you have as an individual. I wanted to share with you this text as it illustrates for me how our spirituality is the ground to our way of acting in the world.

Here are some chief characteristics of an awakened species as expressed by Neale D Walsch in his book:

1. An awakened species sees the Unity of All Life and lives into it.
2. An awakened species tells the truth, always.
3. An awakened species says one thing and will do what they say.
4. An awakened species, having seen and acknowledged what is so, will always do what works.
5. An awakened species does not embrace a principle in its civilization that correlates with the concepts that humans refer to as “justice” and “punishment.”
6. An awakened species does not embrace a principle in its civilization that correlates with the concept that humans refer to as “insufficiency.”
7. An awakened species does not embrace a principle in its civilization that correlates with the concept that humans refer to as “ownership.”
An awakened species shares everything with everyone all the time.
9. An awakened species creates a balance between technology and cosmology; between machines and nature.
10. An awakened species would never under any circumstances terminate the current physical expression of another sentient being unless asked directly by that other being to do so.
11. An awakened species would never do anything that could potentially damage or harm the physical environment that supports the members of the species when they are physicalized.
12. An awakened species never poisons itself.
13. An awakened species never competes.
14. An awakened species is clear that it needs nothing.
15. An awakened species experiences and expresses unconditional love for everyone.
16. An awakened species has harnessed the power of metaphysics.
