(Though this first Q&A is from an Online Conference prior to the 2008 Presidential election, Jach’s response is as timely now as it was then.)

Q: Lazaris has talked so much about how the new world will really be a new world and not an old world that is fixed, and I wonder what specifically to program for. Is it most effective to program for the resonance that we want, like the resonance of goodness, truth and beauty and a government free of corruption? Or for specifics, like this upcoming Presidential election?

Jach: As I read your question, a couple of thoughts come to mind. … Give me a minute, and they might come to my fingertips as well. [g]

First, the new world is now destined to be. It’s not an ideology or an ideal, as Lazaris has been pointing out recently. But we are just now entering the liminal years or the years in between our current world and the new world. They are still ‘worlds’ apart.

There is a lot that will be happening in these next two decades that the liminal years will comprise. First, there are the building years that make up the next ten years, and then, well, I don’t know what then.

But 2018 is the time of birthing the new world, isn’t it? The year 2006 is the end of the current chromatic cycle, and it will begin the birthing process in earnest, as I understand it. And then the next twelve-year chromatic octave (2006 to 2018) will be when the new world is born and begins its infancy. So there is a while yet. [g]

So I think we do program things like the Presidential election and the political landscape in America. I think we continue working with dismantling and disarming the negativity and with awakening that tri-polar energy becoming a uni-polar force. I think we continue to focus on the daily magic as expressed personally, nationally, and internationally. And I think we work, not to fix and to cure, as Lazaris would point out, but to change and heal the world we have. I think that is what we do in the liminal years.

And then, I think we work on visualizing the miraculous states and the transcendent states as the way the world will be. I don’t know about visualizing for a non-corrupt government, for example. Maybe that’s right. Maybe that’s right for some of us. But what is government going to be like in the new world? I just don’t know.

I am not naive enough, to think that there will be no government or that there will be ideal government, but I really have no clear images. I mean, the images I can currently hold are a government that is a fixed or cured one. I don’t really know what a changed and healed one would look like. See what I mean?

Also, Lazaris has been talking about the miraculous states and about transcendent states a little too often for me to ignore that. I started a new thread about working with our unconscious, and one of the keys to successfully harnessing the power of our unconscious has to do with the vision of transcendent states. And it is integral to allowing the Other to be mystical — to be the Mystical Other. It is part of the collage of energy for healing our magic. It is part of our unstoppable power of magic. And beyond that, Lazaris is saying it a lot. That’s a clue, as far as I am concerned.

So I tend to visualize a world in which things happen beyond expectation and imagination and a world in which people consciously talk about that. I see a world where life supersedes and surpasses itself and a world in which people notice that and are excited about it. I see a world where people are hopeful because they see that life is superseding itself and maybe their lives can do that, too. And they are talking about it openly.

I think what I am saying here is that I am visualizing that the current miraculous states become the consensus reality of a new world. And I leave the form — the details — to follow that function. That’s what it means to me.

Q: Yesterday, while considering the ‘Paradox of Participation’ thread, my mind drifted to what Lazaris said about our creation of a ‘Virgin Future.’ Can you talk about how the Virgin Future relates to the ‘Paradox’?

Jach:  I find the paradox of participation thread to be really fun and thought provoking. The actual paradox is even more exhilarating. Hmm. … I hadn’t thought about it in relationship to the Virgin Future, but, of course, it relates.

The Virgin Future, precursor to the New World, is also now destined to be. First, that’s a hard one for many of us to get our minds around. We can say the words, I suppose, but do we really grok the reality? I know it is really hard for me. I know that I think I understand it and accept it, and then it seems to slip away again. I keep returning to the idea of a Virgin Future as a fixed up and a much better rendition of the current or the past. I tend to experience the Virgin Future in a Don Quixote fashion. I keep seeing the wrongs righted and the impossible dreams dreamt. Maybe it will be that way. But that is not — cannot — be the whole of it.

So, as ideal as I want to hold it, as quixotic as my image of it may be, when it’s that way, I know I haven’t yet groked it. I haven’t yet wrapped my mind around it. And then I realize I don’t have to wrap my mind around it completely. I don’t have to know the precise details. I can still participate! Ha! I don’t have to know every play or every strategy. I don’t have to know each move and each step. I can still participate in the creation and the manifestation of the virgin future.

And then I think … the word virgin means untouched by human hands … and I smile. I guess I won’t be able to pore over the blueprints, will I? I can participate in its creation and manifestation without a direct and conscious ‘hands on’ experience of what it is. And that is so exciting to me.

It seems that the Paradox of Participation is essential for us to have a hand in creating something that is untouched by our hands. And I think it is important to remember that the resolution of paradox is where the power lies. And the resolution of this paradox is in choice. I love it. [g]

Q: Hello, Jach! In the Merlin-Arthur recordings, Lazaris describes Camelot. Apparently, the New World will have the qualities and characteristics found in Camelot, but with the year 2006 ‘just around the corner,’ can you give us some more details? THANK YOU!

Jach:  Hehehe … Hi there. Give you more details? Wow. [s] Well, 2006 is fast approaching, that is true. So I go back to that Culminating Weekend called ‘Earth Changes.’ During that discussion, Lazaris laid out the chromatic octaves of energy that are active. Beginning in 1982, the pattern of the past was broken and a 12-year cycle began. In 1994, the Vortex of Sirius … the Vortex of the Goddess … opened wide and full, as it had not done for over 90,000 years and will not do again for another 90,000 years. After 1994, during the most monumental decade in the history of humankind, we made a choice: There will be a positive future of dreams and visions. 2006 (with a plus or minus of 3 years … between 2003 and 2009) is the birthing of the New World. And as with any birth, there are labor pains … there are massive contractions and cramps. I think our world is experiencing such labor pains. But the focal year is 2006 for the birthing. It could be a late birthing; it could be as late as 2009. But it is actually the following twelve years that are key … 2006 to 2018. The realization or the growing of that New World happens then.

So it’s not as if one day in 2006, a New World cries out, and a New World is born with a specific time and date. … It will not have an astrological sign. [s] And it’s not as though our ‘old world’ will vanish and a new one will take its place. It’s a birthing, but there the analogy to human birth ends.

See, this is why Lazaris has emphasized growing and changing … why he has focused so much on shifting our observing and measuring devices. Our reality … old world or new world … is still an illusion. It is still the stuff of raw materials, tools, and generating and sustaining energies. It is still the stuff of our creation. In order to experience the New World, we need new calibrations for our old observing and measuring devices. If we don’t, the very, very new world will appear and seem to function just as the very, very old one did. There is not some sort of miraculous salvation out there where we will wake up in the New World. It’s not about some metaphysical ‘rapture.’ [vbg] The energies will be there. It is up to us to configure that energy in formation … in a new formation … of a new world.

So between 2006 and 2018, we will be doing that. And even now, we can experience pieces … glimmers and shimmers … of that New World. There are many things in my life … and there are many things in your life … in all our lives … that truly are the stuff of the new world. If we look with patience … attention and intention … we can experience them. In many ways, we have parts of the New World as our reality already. Yes.

But other people don’t, right? Well, that is always going to be the case. There will always be those who insist the world is the same old world. Personally, I don’t think we can wait for the ‘least among us’ to get on board. As Lazaris points out, if someone is trapped in a deep well shouting for help, stand strong outside the well and offer to lift them out. Don’t jump down and join them in the well so the two of you can shout louder. So I look for my expressions of a New World, and I share that with others. I will not deny it until the ‘least among humankind’ accepts it.

Using another analogy, it is not unlike Magellan’s ships. We need to be the shamans for our world. We need to help people see what they cannot yet see. And we don’t do that by blinding ourselves. We do that by looking more closely and listening more intently. We do that by shifting our own observing and measuring devices. We do that by working with the building blocks of this decade … dominion, mystery, creation/manifestation, expansion, union … and upcoming, illumination. And we work with complexity … maintaining our individuality, while we come together and function as one without abandoning or losing that individuality.

So, more details? Well, I don’t know what it will look like for you or for others. I cannot say I absolutely know what it looks like for me. I suspect it will be incredibly individual and distinctively unique for each of us. I suspect that the New World will actually be more like many New Worlds (plural) … many different sets of reality creation that are amazingly, even astoundingly, individual. But I could be wrong about that. [s]

Thanks for your question.

Q: Hi, Jach. Can working with the Mystical Other help us give birth to the New World more elegantly?

Jach: Hi there. (And honestly, folks, I did not suggest this question ahead of time. [s]) It’s good to hear from you.

In a word: Yes. In more words: Absolutely working with the worlds of Other — of the Mystical Other (meaning the Other that is not available through our familiar senses, but is nonetheless there) — can be a powerful venue for giving birth to the New World, or as Lazaris says it, ‘a world that is becoming new.’ Lazaris has talked about how we are involved in an evolution of consciousness and in an evolution of the human species. Evolution of consciousness is always happening. The evolution of a species doesn’t happen that often, but it happens, for sure. However, such evolution has never been a conscious one, until now.

And the evolution of the human species is often totally misunderstood. People used to have images of people with huge heads and tiny, little, frail bodies, because we were evolving into totally cerebral people. Obviously, not so. Others even now talk of people having extra or additional chromosomes. Again, not so. It is not that sort of totally physical evolution of the species, but it is an evolution — generating a ‘new kind of human being.’ And both evolutions are happening consciously. But we cannot do it alone. We need help. We get that help as we work with our magic and with our friends (seen and Unseen). In addition, we need to reach beyond conscious creation magic and beyond resonance magic. We need to reach into the realms of ‘Other’ magic and confluence magic. And that, I think, is where the Mystical Other comes in.

As we work with magicians from our worlds (current and ancestral) and with magicians from the Faerie Realm — that World of Other that shares our planet — I think we lift to an expansive level of magic that can generate realities or changes in reality that are beyond our current scope. I think that with confluence magic — the blending together of human and faerie magic into a pool of magic — we can reach beyond the horizons into the Unknown, and we can create possibilities before they become possibilities in our world.

Lazaris talks about this in the Celebrating the Worlds of Other Intensive. The Imaginal Realm is where possibility exists before it is possible, and it’s where magic creates itself. And during that workshop, we met with our faerie friend in the Imaginal Realm — also a realm that we and faeries share. And we worked magic together. And that magic was phenomenal. It ‘shook a lot of people up’ with a resonance shift and shake down. [s] A lot of unexpected changes happened to a lot of us out of that workshop.

But back to the point: We cannot do it alone. We cannot do it with our current levels of magic as masterful and as majestic as they may be. We need to work together. Together — a concept of our feminine side (regardless of our gender) that is too foreign. Together — a concept that in our world is being brutalized as women throughout parts of the world are being brutalized. Together — a concept that with the lack of civility that is occurring in the United States — is something we all need to begin to understand and to embrace. And together, we can work our magic with other human magicians. Together, we can work our magic with faerie magicians who also have a stake in our success. So, working with the Mystical Other — which includes Nature Spirits, the Elements, the forces of the universe, as well as with faeries — can be a powerful component in birthing a world that is becoming new. [s]

I get very excited about all this. Excuse my zeal. [s] And thanks for your question [s]
