Living here on the West Coast, it definitely seems that we are at the cusp of an evolutionary shift - more and more people seem to have different forms of life-transforming awakenings. They may not be full blown and stable awakenings into/as Big Mind, but a taste and an opening in that direction.

And there are so many techniques that really works...

Waking Down In Mutuality

Most people have their "second birth" within a year, from what I am told. For me, the shift happened only a couple of months after engaging in it more fully. There is an awakening to the Absolute, the nature of mind, and a rich, sensual, intimate sense of no separation with all phenomena. It seems permanent, and it is definitely unfolding. It is not anywhere near a full Enlightenment, but it is a taste - it is a little opening into it.

Byron Katie's Inquiry Process

A simple process of inquiring into our beliefs, which makes it impossible to believe in them anymore. We are freed from thoughts and ideas and the confusion believing in them brings about, and can live from the nature of mind - from effortless spacious clarity, wisdom and compassion.

Big Mind Process

An exploration process of the different ways the mind can manifest, on personal and transpersonal levels. It leads us into the transpersonal - Big Mind - view, and helps us see that it is always available. A little shift is enough. The Big Mind process can be used in many different ways, from healing on a personal level to connecting with and exploring Existence from the view of the Buddha Mind.

Breema

A practice that takes the form of bodywork. It allows us to connect with Big Mind, in a very rich and full way.

And among the many other techniques and approaches, here is one that I just heard about....

Deeksha

This seems quite similar to Waking Down in Mutuality, especially in terms of the shift - and the speed and way it occurs.

This is definitely a cultural shift and transformation, and may even be an evolutionary shift for our species. Who knows. I am about to read Translucent Revolution which is about just this topic.

What this means is that the leading edge may consist of more people - at least in terms of the states they are dipped into if not the level they are consistently (yet) at - although the majority of humanity will still operate from red (egocentric), blue (absolutism) and orange (modernism) levels in Spiral Dynamics terms.
