Your Evolution: Empathy, Intuition, Telepathy
 
You are evolving toward telepathy, and this is happening now through various stages: empathy, intuition, telepathy. Remember: telepathy is an evolved understanding—no one taught you, in your upbringing or your education. No one brought this forward in your mainstream culture. You evolved into it, or are evolving into it, some of you faster and more easily than others. 
 
Empathy was first. You were able to have empathy for someone’s past experiences, and suddenly you noticed, as one example, that you could flip into past time experiences while still remaining in your current reality. You became able to see and feel the past. This past sensing was not something you were taught. You taught yourself this, by taking your empathy in present time, and applying it to past time. This is one of the ways that psychology was developed, a thought system that works with the idea of healing past trauma—by your intuitive ability to take empathy and apply this to the past, so that suddenly you could sense and feel the past for another. 
 
You also became able to take your empathy and project this empathy into a future situation, so that if a person felt one way, then their future projection would continue on from that energy, environment, predicament, situation, and you were able to move along the time continuum, which is really a dimensional continuum, to see that the outcome that was being created in present moment would actually be an outcome that you could see. 
 
So your empathy to present moment, applied on the time continuum, allowed you to see what would happen for this person in the future. You might call this being psychic or being intuitive. We would call it intuition, more specifically, intuition that moved forward in time, as a prediction, as a future knowing. Many of you have figured out how to do this now. 
 
To refresh, we have empathy forming on its own, as something new to your species. This was a step forward in evolution. Next, we have empathy evolving into intuition. After intuition, telepathy is the next human ability. In essence, telepathy is empathy applied to language, symbolism and meaning, or more precisely to communication. 

With telepathy, you move beyond sensing emotion, in any time frame, into the actual understanding of thought. This will include emotion, but it will contain the precise information of thought. On one level, you will be talking to each other in your mind. On another level, you will no longer be using language. You might consider this as a way of downloading information from one mind to another, and you will be able to do this very quickly, instantaneously, without any contraptions or technology or even without thinking about it. 
 
You will just know how. We have said many times before that the current technology has been increasing your ability to communicate with each other beyond distance, so that you accept the idea that your thoughts and ideas may be communicated in language, both spoken and written, and that these thoughts and ideas may be communicated instantaneously, when you use these devices. You accept all of this now. You also accept the idea that languages may be translated, and that you may also communicate with images and sound. These is not unknown to you. You accept this. 
 
100 years ago, you could not even fathom this. 50 years ago, it would be unheard. We are talking in terms of one or two or three generations, depending on what part of the world you are from. In just one or a few generations, what was impossible is now here and used in daily life.  You could not fathom it then. Now, you accept it. You could not imagine it. Now, you use it every day. You can see how as you evolve as humans, your technology evolves and this is one of the ways your understanding evolves, which leads to more (or sometimes less) technology, which leads to more evolution. 
 
Which comes first, the technology or the consciousness? They progress together. Everything evolves with everything else. Again: this does not apply only to humans. We will discuss this later. 
 
So the next step is to do away with the technology, the training devices, and accept that you can communicate telepathically with other humans. Not to know what they feel, which is empathy. Not to know what they have experienced, with is empathy layered with the time dimension of the past. Not to know what experience is unfolding for them, which is empathy later with the time dimension of the future. All of these abilities continue, but you will take the next step, the next leap forward: telepathy without technology. 
 
Some of you may still think this is impossible. Others of you may be open to the idea of this, as a distant possibility, one day. Others of you—and here is where change happens—will begin to experiment, to see how far you can achieve this, and how you might work with this to learn how. 
 
We will tell you this: it is not a scientific process. There is no math equation, there is no science study, it is beyond those available rules of technology. It is also not a creative endeavor. You cannot achieve it by trying too hard. You cannot achieve it through greed or desire for power. Love is the portal. We will discuss this further.

When you need an answer
Which for most of you may be 
Most of the time,
The tendency is to look from the wrong place. 
Not in the wrong place
But from the wrong place. 
At first, most of you will seek the answer 
From the mind/ego/personality
Which has so many desires, 
Attachments, conditions
That must be met to satisfy
The mind/ego/personality’s
Continuous need for safety, security, success,
Adoration, amusement, distraction,
Vindication, recognition.
There is a grasping nature to the desire
Of the mind/ego/personality, 
Which is why you can never
Receive the answer that you are seeking
When you work from that place.

Your higher self is not you. 
It is not your body at peak performance,
It is not your mind/ego/personality
With all its tricks and schemes,
Its knowledge and opinions,
It is not yourself doing any particular
Thing in any particular way. 
It is not yours. It is not you. 
Your higher self is your soul, 
And soul is not singular. 
Again: soul is not singular. 
Soul is collective. 
Soul is Oneness
It is your soul as part of all souls
That is collective soul
Which is Oneness.
This is what you are part of. 
So, your higher self is not separate
Because it is soul.

The whole of your body is filled 
With cells that must all contribute, 
They must all perform their tasks 
According to their natural talents
And their abilities, in order to allow
The body to continue to live. 
The whole of Gaia is the same. 
Each person must learn to perform 
The tasks of their calling
The tasks of their contribution
In full understanding that it
Is not about the mind/ego/personality
Being better than, 
It is about all things working together
As a whole to lift the entirety of 
The soul collective into a new understanding.
This is the continued expansion of 
The Universe and you are part of it. 
You cannot stop this, it is how things are. 
When you shirk your calling
Or refuse to contribute
When you focus only on your needs
And think those are more important
Than the needs of the other
You might as well be a black hole 
In space continually collapsing onto itself
In complete darkness. 
Ego is separation. 
Reality is oneness. 
Discover your unique contribution 
And if you don’t know what that is yet.
Do what needs to be done
To help others.

Coming out of Collective Amnesia
 
As a human, much of your journey is about the  process of remembering. Just as a newborn baby does not remember their life between lives, or their past lives for the most part, so you had to make the arduous journey of letting all of your embedded cultural beliefs go, so that you can recall who you really are. It has taken time, hasn’t it? Many lifetimes. Many generations and many centuries. But you are here now, and you are beginning to remember everything. You are coming out of collective amnesia. 
 
First you remembered your empathy, your long-forgotten ability to feel what another was feeling and to have compassion for them. This was easy for you; feeling did not need to be kept hidden, your society accepted emotion as something that could not be controlled. Empathy was easy; humans are heart-based beings.
 
Intuition was harder; it was accepted that you could feel and understand and know the emotions of another—but it was not accepted that you could also know the thoughts and mind of another. It was seen as outside of what was possible. It was seen as too high of an ability for any of you; surely you were not wise enough to be able to read each other, surely this could not be right? Only those higher up on the social ladder, higher up on the spiritual ladder, those more powerful or more attractive or richer than you could be able to read you in this way? You still had the belief system of the all-knowing father, the God above, the personified divinity who would know all your secrets and would forgive you anyway. 
 
As for your ability to see beyond the different veils of illusion; such as for those of you who can connect with spirits or travel to other dimensions? In actuality, these gifts or abilities have been available for many of you for a long time, and in some ways, they are the least forgotten of the gifts. We will say now: it’s all Oneness, isn’t it? Of course all of this is possible. How could it not be?
 
Perhaps in your great need to know what happens after you transition, after you die, or what happens to those you love after you die, the gift or technique of mediumship was retained more easily. Perhaps in your natural ability to travel between dimensions by use of memory and déjà vu and trance as portal, you found it easy to explore other realms astrally, and this also has not been difficult for you and you have done it for a very long time. 
 
So this is possible, to go beyond the veil. And it is also possible, for any human to read another living human. Of course this is increasing and will become the predominant understand that arrives to you next, and for some is already here. 
 
You first began to read each other by empathy, and in early times you experienced either empathy or fear, there was not much in between. One level slid to the extreme. It was hard to trust outside of your tribe or group, and so there was much fear. Within your tribe or group it was also hard to trust. There were no smaller family units, as in recent past. Society was not yet arranged that way, and as you know, society is no longer arranged that way either: in the nuclear family. 
 
That was a blip, an experiment, actually a gathering point for processing grief after the calamity of a world at war. It was something that held for a moment, but no longer holds. 
In the deeper past of your past lives and your ancestry, there was only you, loosely aligned with some you shared biology with, and even this was not something that held if you moved from your region. If you were lucky, you found some level of trust with those you lived with or near. If you did not have this luck, you lived with or near others and did not have trust, and this was true for many or even most of you. 
 
Empathy arrived as the first level of consciousness for humans, and for some of you it did arrive with biological connection; you had a child, and you felt a deep desire to protect that child. That growth was still based on fear. But then, you saw someone else with a child, and you also understood that person’s deep desire to protect their child, and you felt and understood their desire as you own. 
 
This was a new awareness: that you could feel and sense outside of your own experience. You could feel and sense what another was feeling, and most importantly, that you were aware you were having this feeling. You had empathy, and you were aware that you were having empathy, and others were also aware. 
 
Recall again: you were not born with empathy, as a species. It developed. It was a state of consciousness that you evolved into. No one directed you or told you or taught you. You evolved into it on your own. This is the first aspect of how you began to change. This change continues. We say again: this expansion continues.
