This film is a priceless aid in preparing for the forthcoming Shift. Watching it has changed me in a way that I didn't foresee. It simultaneously answered questions I've long had about the past, present, and future.
"It is with humble hearts and much gratitude that we present the following “Revelations” that have come during our search to determine how we may be of greatest service to the Earth and all living things in these times of great change. Although being faced with these Revelations for the first time, ourselves, caused some degree of anxiety as they went against so much that we thought we ‘knew’ about Life, Light and Service; an earnest search into our own hearts, and a willingness to face the uncompromising truth, has revealed liberating new perspectives on the World-Altering event of the coming Shift, including what it may look like, and how today’s increasingly intense world events will serve to assist Humanity’s Evolution.
“Revelations” also reveals the dangers prevalent within today’s rising “spiritual” and New Age Movements, as we, ourselves have been humbled to experience from the crest of the rising wave. To date, “Revelations” is a piece that is most dear to our hearts as it reflects the lessons that have come from the trials and challenges of our own journey of Awakening." ~Keith Wyatt
As much as I appreciated the importance of the trilogy (The Call, The Plan, The Prophecy) that preceded Revelations, this new film addresses a common theme on this forum, namely that focusing only on the positive, inadvertently creates its polar opposite. For the first time, I can truly understand (and even accept) my part in perpetuating evil in a dualistic world.
You can watch Revelations at http://awakeningasone.com/ but if you're having trouble downloading it from vimeo (as I did), it is now available on Youtube:

Transmutation requires the understanding that the Self was a co-creator of all miscreations. Part 1 of the video series seems to be saying that Love is not the answer. Apathy is. Then, they go on to contradict themselves by saying one must choose Love or Fear. And then go on to say that the Call to Action is to transmute the miscreations by seeking to transmute through uniting with others to create the change within.
I was very keen on joining this movement as it seemed to be genuinely adhering to the Law of One--- but now after watching this film I have my doubts.
I will continue to see the dark as an opportunity to Love more and deeply my fellow man as I learn to love that which is within me that is simply an outpicturing of the very dark that I see. I will continue to Love my neighbor as I Love mySelf. And yes, I believe Christ is a state of Being within not just a man named Jeshua. And no I do not believe that Jesus is coming to save us. Although I do think Sananda drives a spaceship. And yes, I do believe in our Space brother and Sisters. and no I do not believe they will save us. We must save ourselves.
I bless you with Love.

I was moved by the presentation when I watched it. It addresses something that I have been pondering for some time now. How to approach all of this without making judgments and determinations that reinforce us v. them duality, for where energy is directed, manifestations are created. They address this well throughout all of the information...
This also reminds me of the "weticos" discussion a while back (the name given to this hideous common phenomenon), that hideous thing that creeps in and seems to alter even the best of intentions and thereby neutralizing the initial good intentions.
The CIA calls it "mission creep"
The fact that something like this is even out there is encouraging in my view. It has become "politically incorrect" to challenge the idea of the "light side" being just as polarized and in the "dark" as the the dark side - and it's just great to see it addressed so clearly here. We are of course being constantly reminded to spread "love and light" and no one EVER suggests that we be BALANCED. What is the core of balance? ALLOWANCE. That means allowing ALL experience to have its place here - even that of the dark side. I view this whole scene as a game like any board game - with players and rules and an ENDING. We are nearing the end of this game - and for many, it means graduation onto a higher experience - and for others it means continuing a new game on the same board.
I liked the clarification of the Mayan ideas also - and the idea of the date being just a date - like the end of the year is. Yes - a new year begins again, they don't just stop because we ended one!
Good summary of the possible tactics to be used to keep us in polarity as the shift is taking place - that was very good and should be a wake up call to the love and light folks that remaining in polarity is not the answer. If we want out - we have to achieve balance, and that can only occur from within - as the external world here is NOT one of balance, and may never be, as this "game board" is polarized by design in my opinion. To stay in balance - we need a new game with different rules.
Great post - thanks Noa!
Your ambiguous feelings are understandable, Elizabeth. Some of the concepts presented are not easy to accept, especially our notions of duality. The film is making a distinction between divine love and human love, which (though well intentioned) can be self-serving and misguided.
I'm puzzled by some of the terms you use in describing the message of Revelations, like "apathy" and "miscreations." I encourage you to revisit the film with an open mind, laying aside any spiritual paradigms you may have.
I am reminded of the book, "The Hiding Place." In it, Corrie ten Boom describes her life in a Nazi concentration camp. Each night, she would lead her fellow female prisoners in prayer to lift their spirits. One night, she asked them to bless the fleas that bit them so mercilessly in their filthy beds. The others protested a bit, but then reluctantly agreed to include the fleas in prayer.
The next day, one of the women was too ill to get up and go to work in the fields. A big, burly female guard yelled at her to get up and she rushed towards the bed, intending to give her a severe beating. As she approached, a swarm of biting fleas jumped on her, sending her screaming out of the barracks.
Similarly, it is healing to accept and bless (rather than judge) the negative forces for they too, have a place within the divine plan.
With loving blessings,
Noa
I am blessing the very darkness that is within myself and all of us.
What I am concerned about is the vilifying of Love. Divine Love creates a place of neutrality. I take issue with them using Children of the Sun, Ghandi, and Greg Bradeen as examples of the "dark side" of Love.
Just to be clear Children of the Sun are suggesting the concepts of neutrality as Awakening as One is. The Villifying of a movement by a movement is the first step toward polarisation. The judgements the movie Reveleations is making is in opposition to the very neutrality they claim to be about.
I wish you well. We are all journeying back to source. Each has their own path. I bless you as you journey on yours.
The last time someone told me Love was the wrong path and I followed their wisdom and just let everything be as it was I was abused by another, left homeless and found myself in a state of extreme disrepair. So the tenat that Love is the villian I just am not finding that to be in resonance with my HEART. I will follow my own intuition and bow out of this Awaken as One movement. Actually, I have been bowing out of many places these days. This may be one of the places I leave as well. The Gathering spot that is. It just seems to be a complete waste of my time to be drawn into debate ove Love. I simply will Love it all and see what happens. If I wind up in a hell because of it... well I will just take my chances.

Again, Elizabeth, your term, "the dark side of love" is not one used in the film, nor does it "villify" love.
Indeed, there are as many paths as there are people on this journey, and no lessons can be learned before we are ready to receive them. Perhaps, that is one purpose of this Shift: to prepare us to accept the truths which we otherwise cannot see.
My most cherished and touching sources all have touched on balance between polarities. I see no vilifying Love since Love & Peace are Sacred and truly all that is Real, so that concept would be essentially and eternally impossible, and that is maybe the most important lesson that can help us be balanced and not run towards any polarized side, for to do so is an act of fear and misunderstanding of one's own Self & Being. But such is allowed in all its forms for the sake of the Sacred Journey, as many journeys as there are stars in the sky...
To be witness to all without making self proclaimed determination of what it is. To remain Peace and Love without pontificating in polarized fashion, without verbally presuming to know as if those you were speaking to did not.
All of these unbalanced actions are toward polarization, away from the center of our Being and are acting out of fear, even when one proclaims to be witness for the "Light". It is a wonderful lesson to learn, and takes so much weight off one's shoulders, a weight so utterly self-imposed, a weight that was never ever intended to be there, a burden that is taken up in and by free will, and must be surrendered in and by the same by each Sovereign...
I have just rewatched the film without looking at the imagry. The imagry is what caused my confusion.

The choice each of us will face during the Shift is whether we wish to continue our unsustainable pursuit of self-interest or to unite with others in benefit of the highest good of all. In this context, the film’s producer, Keith Wyatt, responds on the Awakening as One forum. ~ Noa
http://iparte.com/forums/topic/106/discussion-with-the-film-makers:
The following is a response to one viewer's question regarding "Revelations" mention of some of today's popular spiritual leaders.
Original Message:
Greetings Awakening As One. I am writing to you because I just lokked at the latest film "revelations". In that film you are displaying some people that I highly respect, Bruce Lipton among others. I don't understand the message here. Bruce i a person that is inspiring people to come together in cooperation and love and I don't understand fully the message about duality in this context. Could you explain more please. Today, I feel lost with you message in the film.
In respect for all that we are, love and peace
Response:
greetings sister,
and much gratitude for reaching out today with your questions and concerns about the new film "Revelations", particularly in regards to our mention of some of today's highly respected spiritual leaders.
here i wish for you to understand that it is not our intention with "Revelations" to lay "Blame" or "Condemnation" on anyone through our work. for, I, like you, have learned much from some of these leaders, like Bruce, who has played a big part in my own personal awakening, and whom i hold in high regard and respect.
the intention with "Revelations" is to simply point out some of the things that these well-meaning teachers might not be aware of, and to encourage people to continually Seek inside for a deeper understanding of Truth, surrounding their connection with the Divine, so that they do not Rely on the words and teachings of others to "lead the Way."
for, anyone who simply follows the words of what others say in these days, is in danger of being lead astray, because these teachers, as unenlightened beings, are incapable of bringing anyone to Freedom. they may provide comfort and inspiration, and some may even point the way, but no one can be liberated by the words of another, for the Truth must be Searched for, and Experienced, to be known. and thus, those who simply "believe" what others say, will never truly "know" for themselves; and it is only this experience, and resulting "knowing" of the truth, which goes beyond "belief", that leads one to true Faith and ultimate freedom.
and here, gathering a group of well-known spiritual leaders together and calling them the "Evolutionary Leaders" presents a very real danger in today's increasingly intense world where people are looking for answers. for all of those who have not done their own searching, will be compelled to look to these very popular and well-promoted, yet unenlightened, leaders for guidance and answers, and in doing so will relegate themselves to the reality of "the blind leading the blind"; and thereby putting the fate of their own spiritual growth in the uncapable hands of others.
our other concern regarding the "Evolutionary Leaders" comes from our understanding of the Universal Law of Attraction, which states that "like attracts like." and although the teachings of Bruce and Greg, may be well-intentioned, a number of their colleagues within the "Evolutionary Leaders" are focused on promoting the material-based concern for self and wealth, and controlling this reality to attain things for oneself. these practices of using spiritual awareness for self-gain and a desire to control, are akin to black magic, and are known as "the left-hand path."
and because humanity is easily tempted by its concern for self, which includes our righteous and well-meaning efforts to enforce our ideals, and because in our ignorance, we have taken our expanded awareness of our reality to mean "spiritual awareness", it is quite easy for these intelligent forces of duality to set traps for humanity by the works they do through others.
and today this trap that is being sold, in many cases for big bucks, to honest people who despite their earnest desire to follow a true spiritual path and live the holy life, are buying the tools and means (through books movies, seminars and workshops) to ensure the success of the self, and its ideals, from these leaders; when we all know that anyone who has experienced the True Liberating Truth would simply give it away.
that said, it is our love for those people mentioned in our film, as well as for the people who follow them that encourages us speak of what "seems" to be, for, if it is so, then people may awaken and aright their path. and if it is not so, then what we have said will cause no real harm, as determined by the truth that "the nature of the tree will be revealed by the quality of its fruit".
for if you see True Permanent Healing and Selfless Spiritual Worth coming from the tree, then you know it for what it is. however, if the tree is dropping bitter fruits, and the followers of these leaders are wrapped in the self interest for desire and success, and the personal desire to see their Will achieved on Earth, rather than the Will of the Divine, then you will know the tree to be like the fruit.
that said, we do not "know" the hearts of Bruce or Greg or any other presented in the video, and therefore cannot 'Blame', "judge" or "condemn"; ours is only to call it like we see it from our perspective, with the intention that others can make up their minds for themselves.
as always, we encourage the love of ALL (for we see all as One, and that all are serving the Divine) and humbly urge people to make the switch from living for the self, to living for the peace and harmony of ALL. we invite others to unite and lead the way in helpfulness of others, and have faith... for the time has come.
I think we are, I hope the vast majority of us are past the saviorship model so I suspect most get exactly what you get to so well Bob.
Take it as soothing affirmation of where/what your intuition and guides have illuminated, and even then we need to laugh because that determination is just one more illusion to be surrendered with laughter, but a damn fine one at that....
reminds me again of a well worn line from ACIM, trading bad illusions for good ones...
and finally, good ones for none (again)....
I only listened to the film and found that there was so much information being given that the pictures were a distraction from the words. I liked the message encouraging us to look within for all duality that we see reflected in the outside world and accept responsibility for it as a reflection of our own state of being.
I think we need to ask the question what is love? I think the film is saying that the answer is in doing what comes naturally, that when we are in a state of love/bliss we may take action to change things but only as a natural response, not out of guilt, not even with a conscious desire to change things for when we are in a true state of love, all is good. I am thinking of the small acts a parent takes to help their children - these acts come naturally without even thinking "I've got to fix that".
I also liked the discussion about choice. I think things will only get worse for us, the longer we put off making the choice to take personal responsibility for doing what will make ourselves happy without worrying for the morrow. I personally feel very compelled to just quit my job - I know it is both bad for me and paying taxes is bad for my neighbors. So I feel that we are all faced with this choice now. How long will we continue to support this insane system? The film talks about being faced with the choice of rejecting a chip implant. I think we need to choose well for ourselves now, as the longer we put off doing what's right for ourselves the worse things will get. When will I choose to love myself and the world enough to make this change? How will I find the faith in Divine love it takes to make such a change and release the fear that life will fall apart if I no longer go to a "on the books" job every day?
This is the bible passage I've been struggling with for years from Matthew:
6:26 Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?
(
6:27 Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?6:28 And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:6:29 And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.6:30 Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?6:31 Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? ( 6:32 (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.6:34 Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.

I watched a video on Youtube about a family who gardens every portion of arable land of their front, back, and side yard in the city. The husband quit his job and two of his grown children moved back in and also don't work. (I don't remember if the wife has a job.) They grow enough food to sell the excess to local restaurants. They also reuse and make a lot of things to save on living expenses.
Sorry, I couldn't find the video again, but I thought it sounded right up your alley, Wendy.
Hi Noa-
Yes, I've seen that video too and the truth is, I might be able to barely squeek by that way. We have a very large garden already but I'm pretty insecure about money having grown up in a fairly poor family. I think I will make the choice to leave work soon but it's like I'm just waiting a little longer for the moment to be right. Hopefully something will come along soon.
Thanks-
Wendy
Fantasic thread. Thanks for beginning it, Noa. "Revelations" is very rich and useful. You've consistently posted quality material. Kudos.
I especially like Keith Wyatt's response above.
"Revelations" makes the significant point that it is vital not to accept the "leadership" of the external voices of well-meaning but unenlightened* (in the fundamental sense) people at the expense of doing our own inner search for truth. A vital point.
And that caution applies to this film, too. In the very beginning ("Our Humble Opinion"), the creators admit that the content consists of their views, and that people should do their own searching for truth. That's a genuinely responsible statement, and I believe they're serious about it. It amounts to a caution not to take the film as yet another authority outside of ourselves, but to use it as we will while maintaining our own ultimate authority to decide what is true.
After all, the film is a creation of the human mind, a composite of thoughts, images, and imagination. I don't mean to denigrate it at all because it expresses valuable insights and even wisdom, but to put it into perspective.
*(To be fair: Enlightened (in the fundamental sense) people, too, can fall into egotistical (dualistic) thinking and behavior if they aren't careful -- and when they do, it's even worse because of the power they carry. This is likely to happen when they begin to think that "enlightenment" is something real that they've achieved, rather than just a concept devised to indicate a reality/experience beyond concepts that belongs to no one at all.)
Just a note that I have never had a 9-5 job in my life - and have learned to live by faith on many levels. These are truly times that are forcing us to make choices that either serve us personally - or serve the system. I really believe that ultimately we must simply stop doing what doesn't serve us - and to trust that doing something that does will work for us - and for everyone. I am personally in this position myself - with almost no income having come my way in a year as I struggle to somehow create some value in the system (not working, LOL).
So I am thinking along the same lines - ie - what am doing here? When am I going to just STOP? I have already sold almost everything I have just to keep a roof over my head - but I am beginning to wonder if even that is too much. It's like the universe is deliberately stripping me of all that isn't necessary. Maybe I would be better served to just release ALL of it and start over with an idea of just utilizing those things that serve me (and others in a positive way) and nothing more. At some point - we may all be faced with this. It's good that you are thinking of it on a conscious level - and not just being forced into it - as many will be. Good for you!
Thanks for your good example and words of encouragement.
Wendy
I believe Jeff has hit on the crux of the matter regarding this Shift. How we've been living is not sustainable. Not honoring our true nature is not working. We've given our power away to people who are disconnected from natural law. All this crap is a way of helping us realize these truths and decide to make different choices.
Some predictions say that people in 3rd world countries who already know how to live off the land without electricity and modern conveniences will fare better than those in the western world, so being willing to give up comforts to which we've grown accustomed may be part of the process.
I believe we'll have to turn to each other in order to survive and create new sustainable systems. Finding or forming such groups now could be a viable solution for weathering the storm.
In reference to Noa's observations regarding third world countries - I had a friend who used to work for Arco Solar - a division of the large gas company. Guess where the bulk of their work was done? Third world countries - who are bypassing the need for an electrical grid completely. He mentioned to me back in the 90's that the third world countries are going to be light years ahead of us in an emergency - just for the fact that there isn't a grid to break - and everyone will still have access to power. Pretty interesting indeed...
Here's a video from Michael Ruppert of CollapseNet. They have a lot of practical information for the transition, including some herbal remedies for radiation hazards. His (their) information about the collapse has been very accurate over the past several years. CollapseNet has been formed to provide a network, all around the world, for people to communicate and assist each other to build "lifeboats" to serve during this coming events.
Here's the video.
Namaste.
Bob
Thanks for posting that video, Bob, and the pointer to Collapsenet.com. This information is so important and timely and it will probably be buried within this thread. Why not put the video in a new post?
