Hi, everyone!... This is my first post...

I think Yulia did a great job responding to Chris re: "critical mass"... I've been reading many articles on this site, and I resonate with much of what been said, and I'm very grateful to Chris' work and his deep insights...

I do disagree with his comment re: critical mass... My perspective is that once the "wave" of rising consciousness starts to hit the masses, all are raised by it... and on the "outside", it appears as if the critical mass has been reached and thus automatically affects everyone and the masses "pop", so to speak, into a higher awareness...

It's not a "peer pressure" sort of thing where someone may be pressured to do drugs or whatever and then feel afterwards that it's not really their thing or healthy for them... This rising wave of consciousness is part of the Universe's will... manifesting as our galaxtic brothers and sisters beaming increasing amounts of light energy towards the Earth...

As Yulia so aptly pointed out, none of us "did" anything to deserve a greater awareness or a rise in our consciousness... As the Bible says, "it is by grace that we are saved"... In other words, it's just our time... the wave of higher consciousness starts rolling in... and as per the Bell curve, some of us get "hit" first and start to wake up... And as the wave continues, more and more of us start to wake up... Until a so-called "critical mass" is reached (i.e. the wave is reaching its peak) and all of a sudden, the masses start to become awakened...

I look forward to reading more insightful opinions on this site...

LOve,
