The Threshold: Humanity at the Crossroads of Civilizations

Bashar places the current moment in Earth's history within a larger cosmic context, explaining why this specific period represents an extraordinary threshold moment and what the two major probable futures available to humanity currently look like.

Let me speak to you today about where you actually are in the larger arc of your civilization's development, because I think many of you sense — correctly — that something significant is occurring, but you may not have the full context to understand what it is.

You are living at what I would describe as a threshold moment — a period of several decades, centered around your late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries, in which the fundamental frequency of your collective consciousness is in the process of making a transition that has been building for thousands of years. This is not hyperbole. This is a description of what is actually occurring, from the vantage point of those of us who observe your civilization from a broader temporal perspective.

The structure of this threshold is essentially this: your civilization is in the process of choosing between two primary probable futures that are, at this moment, approximately equally available to you. They are not equally desirable from the perspective of growth and flourishing — but they are equally possible, because consciousness, at every level, is always sovereign and always choosing.

The first probable future is one in which the current patterns of fragmentation, competition, fear-based governance, and separation from the natural world continue and amplify, eventually reaching a critical threshold of dysfunction. This is not a future of extinction — let me be clear about that. But it is a future in which a very great deal of unnecessary suffering occurs before the civilization, through the pressure of consequence, finds its way to the changes that the other path would have achieved more gracefully.

The second probable future — and the one that more and more of you are actively choosing and working toward — is one in which the accumulated wisdom of your species, combined with the new frequencies of consciousness that are becoming available in this period, leads to what I would describe as a rapid flowering of cooperative, sustainable, consciousness-based civilization. A civilization in which the technologies you develop are in harmony with the natural world rather than in opposition to it. A civilization in which the understanding of consciousness that is emerging in your most advanced seekers becomes the basis for social organization rather than a fringe interest.

Both of these futures are real. Both of them exist as probable realities available to your collective consciousness right now. Which one becomes your experienced timeline depends, with mathematical precision, on the sum of the individual choices being made in each moment by each member of your species.
