Have you ever wondered why our species keeps doing the same dumb things over and over?

I used to think it was a gigantic conspiracy. Now I know the real reason -- a lack of spiritual understanding.

By spiritual understanding, I simply mean the personal recognition that consciousness, or self-awareness, exists independent of the physical body.

This is the fundamental truth behind all life everywhere.

Once a person has this realization, he or she is more than just human - more than just a collection of neurons and protoplasm.

This recognition turns hatred to love, intolerance to compassion, and worry and anxiety to peace. Such a person becomes less anxious and more self confident. He or she becomes a citizen of the planet earth, and is ready to cooperate with others within their local communities, and on a national and planetary  scale.

People who don't know who they are, simply can't see that what they're doing doesn't work. In their confusion, such persons undertake irrational, destructive and self-defeating policies that seem perfectly reasonable to them. Our current destructive political leadership, for example, stupidly think they are doing the right thing!  Robert Heinlein, the great science fiction writer once said, "never assign to malice that which can adequately be explained by stupidity."

This stupidity stems directly from a lack of spiritual awareness. It is the quintessential stupidity that underlies all other stupidities! It is the underlying problem of humanity.

It can be summed up in one sentence: "When you die, you're dead." This is the Big Lie on planet earth. Philosophies and societies based upon it turn human beings into unthinking biological automatons, easily manipulated by mass media and authority figures.

You can't educate someone in the absence of this awareness, and if you have ever tried, you know exactly what I'm saying -- it's like taking to a brick wall.

Raising spiritual awareness is not difficult, however, because every life form on earth IS spiritual! Therefore, we only need remind our fellow human beings of their true nature.

That is one of the missions of this website.

Deep within us is the latent understanding of our spiritual origins, and the existence of universal laws that are based upon the quintessential unity of spirit and matter -- an underlying, but invisible substrate that permeates and composes all things.

It is not possible to prove the existence of these laws scientifically, but it IS possible apply them in your life and test them! These laws have been known for thousands of years and have recently exploded into public awareness.

The universe was designed to support every one of your choices, and it is possible for every individual to realize their dreams.

This is dangerous (but exciting!) stuff, ladies and gentlemen, for it frees a human being from the dogma of currently established governments, authority, and religion.

The truth is that the universe has been designed to empower every individual human being on this planet.

Happy and successful people understand this instinctively.
If you don't believe that your choices have meaning, then what are you doing here? The only way to live powerfully is to embrace life and to believe in yourself and the universe!

The second mission of this website is to describe universal principles in a modern context, and how they can be used practically in life. It doesn't matter if you are a trained scientist or a high school dropout; a successful businesswoman or a homemaker; a teacher or a student. The quality of your life in every area reflects how successful you have been in applying them.

You won't find any secret codes or magic formulas on this website, but you WILL find a framework for understanding WHY life is the way it is.

My name is Kenneth MacLean. I have been studying spirituality and science most of my life. When I was 3 years old, my mother died of leukemia, and I had a spiritual epiphany.

When the little boy toddled up to see his mom laid out in the coffin, he didn’t understand at first. Why didn’t she get up and give him a hug? But then, looking at the body, he suddenly understood that the true essence of her was still alive, but no longer inhabiting the body.

That event had a profound influence on my life.

How can you know something like that at the age of three?   I don’t know, but you can! I have been trying to explain this knowing ––a recognition of self on a soul level that inevitably results in a feeling of self worth–– for over ten years now in my work.

All people latently have this understanding within them, no matter what their station or status in life.

I have written 8 books, dozens of articles, and produced two movies. All of these products are designed to gently remind you of who you are. To inspire you and empower you. Most of the material is presented here, free.

This is a content–rich website that will confirm what you’ve always suspected: that you have only scratched the surface of your greater potential, and that is IS possible to create heaven on earth.

The lesson of the past 5,000 years of human history is that a true paradigm shift in consciousness cannot come about only through ideas.

Copernicus’s realization that the earth revolves about the sun, Einstein’s theory of relativity, and quantum mechanics have revolutionized the way we view the universe. However, these great ideas have not led to spiritual and emotional advancement. We are still exploiting and killing each other in the 21st century just as we did in 3000 BC. 

What is needed is a shift of consciousness on a broad scale.

Fortunately, the human population in now approaching critical mass and the people are awakening. For a brief period of time, we have a unique opportunity to change the current destructive paradigm and create a new world.  

A positive shift in consciousness must come from within, from the inner recognition of one’s inherent spiritual nature. But how can a planetary consciousness shift occur, even if all of us somehow gain greater spiritual insight?

The Quiet Revolution

Through social networking.

A social network is all of the people you know. Every country has thousands or millions of social networks, and they all overlap. The world wide web connects them all. These networks are spontaneous and people–created, unregulated by government or authority. Because of mobile technology, instant messaging, email and the internet, people are now in almost instant communication.

Today, an idea can spread rapidly within your network and between networks.

Millions of people quietly, voluntarily and positively influencing their social networks has the same effect as one or two people reaching millions of people on the Oprah show.

Within the past several decades, a Quiet Revolution has occurred. Our societies have been re–organized, right under our noses! We the people are sitting on a power base that can be utilized to literally change the world in a very short period of time.

We are no longer dependent upon governments, religions, or authority figures.  

How did the current paradigm get established?

Long ago in the evolution of our species, a tipping point in thought was reached. A tipping point is defined as the critical point in an evolving situation that leads to a new and irreversible development. It is impossible to pinpoint exactly where or when in history this occurred. However it happened, our species consciousness reflected the memes[1] of hierarchy, control, victimization, and “follow the leader.”

Argumentation, domination, competition and conflict emerged as the primary method of problem resolution within and between human societies. These memes became vibrationally dominant in our consciousness and have been passed down from generation to generation, not because they were inherent to human nature or superior in any way, but merely because they were continuously activated.

In other words, the history of our species has resulted from a habitual way of thinking.

But habits are not natural laws! Habits of thought and belief exist only because we continuously pay them homage. Our species is like the dog and the invisible fence. The dog stops because it believes it must, even though it could step over the line at any time, and think “out of the box.”

How can thoughts and ideas become dominant and accepted within an entire species? Through the process of vibrational entrainment.

The Vibrational Universe Concept

The current species consciousness of mankind is based around self-limiting ideas. From our very first breath, each of us is immersed in a sea of these thoughts. Every new generation comes in fresh but eventually, after years and years of exposure, inevitably acclimates and unconsciously accepts these ideas. And that is perfectly understandable.

Have you ever been with a group of people who all had the same idea, while yours was different? Didn't you feel a pressure to change your mind even though you didn't want to?

This phenomenon is called vibrational entrainment. It is also called peer pressure. On a planetary scale, we all succumb to it.

Entrainment is defined as the tendency for two oscillating bodies to lock into phase so that both vibrate in harmony. It can also be defined as a synchronization of two or more rhythmic cycles. For example, when two pulsing heart muscle cells are brought close together each begins to pulse synchronously.

The discovery of entrainment is linked to the Dutch scientist Christian Huygens. While working on the design of the pendulum clock, Huygens discovered that when two clocks were placed on a wall near each other and their pendulums swung at different rates, they would eventually wind up swinging at the same rate. This occurs because of their mutual influence on one another.

In a vibrational universe, it is possible for one vibration to entrain another. For example, one bell in a room full of bells, when struck, will generate a sympathetic response from all of the bells attuned to that note. It has been discovered that a more powerful vibration entrains a weaker one. It is also true that positive emotion is a more powerful vibration than negative emotion.

Therefore, the adoption of a positive vibration must inevitably sublimate a lower one. That is why we have the saying “love always conquers hate.” Hate is a lower harmonic of the vibration of love. All negative emotion finds its power in positive emotion, because darkness is just an absence of Light.

Mankind resonates to victimization, scarcity and conflict not because it is inherently more powerful, but because it is the currently established vibrational pattern.

Because so many individuals resonate to these outdated and irrational concepts, it has become the dominant vibration on our planet, entraining thought and action to it.  Centuries of use have established these nutty beliefs as tradition, and thereby, engendered almost unquestioned acceptance. Here is the origin of patriotism and similar ideas that justify the waging of war and the pollution and destruction of our planet.

Have you ever wondered why every new generation rebels against the old one? The genesis of this rebellion is the spiritual knowledge with which we are all born. The knowledge that life is sacred and that cooperation and abundance are inherent, and the birthright of every human being.

By changing individual awareness, we may establish a powerful new vibration around the concepts of cooperation, harmony, prosperity and the recognition of individual self-worth.

In the past, this was simply not possible on a broad enough scale, because of technological limitations. But it is now!

We have, for a moment, a window of opportunity to create a new paradigm. These opportunities come along only once every several millennia.

We must take advantage of it!

Human nature is not barbaric and savage. That is a myth foisted upon the human race by deluded people who believe that when you die, you’re dead, and by other insecure and frightened power seekers who, in their fear and disconnection, believe in hierarchy and domination.

This core belief is what has stopped the human race in its tracks. It is the fundamental lie behind the stupidity and destruction of our species, because it is the direct opposite of the Truth of our spiritual heritage.

The human population is growing and more and more people are rejecting the old values of deceit, dishonesty, competition and war. Our species is rapidly approaching a new tipping point, where a quantum leap in consciousness is possible; one based on cooperation and mutual acknowledgement of the intrinsic worth of every human being.

The only question is, are we smart enough to take advantage of this unique opportunity? I believe we are, and that the human race is headed toward an evolutionary leap in awareness.  The Old Order recognizes this development and is resisting in the only way it knows how: through the tired old practices of fear, control, and war.

We can no longer rely on governments and religions to guide us. All of us, individually, must step into our personal power, and thus reclaim back our government, and our societies, and raise the standard of our personal lives.

It’s a big job that can only  be accomplished one heart at a time.

The Big Picture is dedicated to establishing a new resonance of thought on our planet.  Welcome aboard!
