 What joins us as a people over this expansive land, Australia?
What connects us? This diverse land of desert tracks, rocks and red dirt, winter worlds and tropical havens … This land of many colours – what’s the story of us as a nation … the story of us as ‘Australian’? Australia is an ancient land with an ancient history. Australia’s Indigenous first people are the oldest living culture in the world … over 65,000 years old. Ancient rock art tells the story of families around campfires, ceremonies, stories told from one generation to the next. The connection of our first people to this land, and the knowledge of the sacred business within the land … the Dreamtime of long ago … great grandparents, grandparents, parents, children … buried in the land. This land Australia has fed the bones of us, our parents and children … We feel a deep love for this country – this modern heritage of an ancient land. Australia has no old castles or crumbling ruins of our past to show us who we are … But change is here and it is asking us all to see a bigger picture for our country and the people of Australia. This is your country – this is my country – this is our country … we are coming together to acknowledge ‘what is’ … Many Australians still connect to the idea that this country is only just over 200 years old. Yet most Australians would be horrified to learn of the full extent of the massacre and extermination of Australia’s first people. This must be fully acknowledged – no more cover ups, no more exclusions. This must be fully acknowledged – no more cover ups, no more exclusions. This is a part of the Australian story – many of us still carry the trauma of the invasion of this country in our cells. The science of epigenetics is showing us that trauma and pain are passed on to our children if we do not deal with it now. No matter your colour, race, gender – no one is excluded from this story. Life in Australia did not start just over 200 years ago … Trauma is passed on through the DNA from one generation to the next. We are all playing this out in our systems – the perpetrator and the victim… Denial and numbness will play out in our health and relationships, and this will go through to the wellbeing of our communities and social systems. Our children and grandchildren will pay a high price for our ignorance. We need to be brave to face this nation’s wounds. We need to be brave to face this nation’s wounds. We need – as a nation – to leave a healthy footprint for future generations. Who are our people, our place of belonging, as Australians? Each of us belongs to a collective body of people with stories that reach before us and after us. Our ancestors had their own unique cultures from many different countries. We have lost our connection to the medicine and wisdom of our ancestors. Many truly feel their own family’s journey started when they arrived in Australia. It’s like the large island we live on distances us from the rest of the world and our heritage is forgotten. There is an honouring of ‘what is’ needing to take place – and ‘what is’ is that each of us has our own individual family story … And we have come from all around the world to live here in Australia, and we have brought those stories with us. Collective trauma travels through all of us … Great hardship, secrets, cover-ups have been a part of our lives. Yet the human spirit is strong. Humanity has walked through this extraordinary journey – this extraordinary story of immigration, war, slavery, genocide – always finding a way to move forward for the sake of future generations. All countries have their place of service for the whole. Australia is in service to the whole. Mother Earth is alive – she is not a dead rock that we can dominate manipulate and control. She holds the memory of eons ago – the whole story of who we are as a human race still lives within her chambers, her sacred ground. We cannot penetrate or demand a place of entry to her. The electromagnetic force field within her is a powerful force field connected to all that is. Respect, dignity, humility – these qualities hold the vibration of grace – and this is the only way to access sacred business. We are living in extraordinary times of change for the global good. It’s not what YOU are wanting – it’s what is wanting to come through YOU. Australia has a deep connection to the ancient stories. Australia has a deep connection to the ancient stories. Australia has a connection to sacred information – the deep treasure of ancient knowing – of the origins of the story of humanity. Elders, shamans, spiritual leaders, ordinary woman and men – all responding to the growing environmental crises we are facing. A movement back to nature is required. This is the modern heritage of the ancient land of Australia. A movement back to nature is required. This is the modern heritage of the ancient land of Australia. Our governance comes from a place with just over 200 years of history. We live like life began in Australia then … but change is calling. There is ancient wisdom in the field waiting for collective acknowledgement, waiting to support us in new ways forward. Culture, colour, gender are not the requirements to hold place for this sacred information. To hear your own heartbeat, each other’s heartbeat and Mother Earth’s heartbeat is what is required. This is the calling of the wisdom keepers. The story is big – it’s a heritage we have forgotten. An acknowledgement of ‘what is’ will strengthen all families, all communities, in this country. Evolution, expansion, connection is calling many of us … Ordinary woman and men are standing up for the greater good – for all of us. There is a movement inside asking us to move from ME to WE. This is a deep call from the soul of the land. Mother Earth is communicating to us – we are her children. We lost the connection eons ago – there is a story we have forgotten. Our Mother is calling us home. She is asking us to have new eyes, new ears, new knowing … She is asking for her voice to be heard in all of our systems and structures. It’s time to come together – time to remember a bigger picture. It is the way to an extraordinary future – and new potential for our children and grandchildren. Australia – an extraordinary place of deep wisdom in the land. She is wanting to tell her original story to humanity. A bigger picture is opening in us to support the expansion of the present reality we live in – because this present reality does NOT have the answers to the issues we are facing today. New eyes, new ears, new knowing …. Susan Altschwager Family Constellations Trainer, Facilitator and Coach Author, New Story for Humanity Editing by Heather Millar, Zest Communications

 2020 – Ordinary woman and men standing up
It’s easy to be with the others, in a place where you feel you belong, a place that feels right – easy, familiar. It’s comfortable doing what you’ve always done, having coffee and conversation, connecting with people you know well –family, friends, work colleagues – loving the ordinariness of your life.
Yet there is a silent centre in you – a place deep inside that many don’t know about you. You hide, protect yourself, keeping this part to yourself … maybe revealing it to just a few who recognise it in you… You keep this deep truth hidden from your partner, parents, children, friends. You live your life as an illusion – hiding who you truly are. You want to be accepted and loved – you want to be the same as the rest of your pack. Your belonging is with them – that way, life seems normal. The social and community systems that you have grown up with – while you may not always agree with them, you know and understand them. YET … you also have an innate knowing that change is on the way for humanity. Some would say, change is a part of life and has been for each generation going forward. Yes, you answer to this, and yet … you know this big change is a natural process of human evolution. It’s not something you can touch, control, manipulate or dominate, for what is taking place for the human race is not a thought process. It is a movement, a deep place within the human soul, the human spirit. The movement is a vibrational frequency. The human heart has been in prison. We have lived within this prison, separated from self and each other, from nature, divinity … throughout the whole history of human existence as we know it. The picture of who we are is much bigger than we know and understand, and we are needing to take back this bigger picture of who we are – to find a new way forward in these times. We, humanity, have a blueprint we have forgotten. We, humanity, have a blueprint that we have forgotten. It is our heritage. The codes of this blueprint are within our DNA … the natural remembering is taking place for many – an alignment, an awakening, a vibrational expansion is taking place. This alignment is an energy field of love, connection, wholeness – all on the timeline of humanity’s evolution. Activation is taking place – the electromagnetic field within the human heart is activating and aligning with the electromagnetic fields within Mother Earth … through her heartbeat we are naturally opening up to a bigger picture of who we are. This has nothing to do with our thought process – in fact, our mind will hang on tight to what it knows to be right and true, and demand that the intellect has it all worked out. We cannot understand what is taking place for the human race from the reality of human existence up until now, for what is taking place is an expansion of that reality – a bigger picture is being exposed to us. It is ancient wisdom and sacred business. Connection, wholeness, love, is calling us. This call is from a deep place of alignment in self from long, long ago. The call is coming to many from all places in the world – this is global business. The wisdom keepers of this present time are ordinary people – grandmothers, grandfathers, mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers, babies. Colour, culture, gender are not requirements to feel the call, to know the change, to acknowledge the pulse of evolution asking more of us. Indigenous elders, spiritual teachers, shaman, healers and ordinary people are coming together to support a new way forward. New leadership is being asked of many … to stand up and have the courage to be who you are. Wisdom keepers worldwide are being called … Wisdom keepers worldwide are being called to give a voice to the time we are living in. Many of you are coming – from all different walks of life: builders, teachers, models, politicians, fishermen, nurses, doctors, factory workers, hairdressers, dancers, social workers … people from the world of fashion, finance, sports, science, religion, the arts, and more. The keepers of the wisdom of our time. Your belonging is being challenged … you are experiencing a natural process of transformation, an opening to larger systems of knowledge, healing and connection. Sitting in old places, old conversations with friends and family who do not feel the call of change yet, will not support you to live your full potential and purpose – how long can you stay and just sit? How long can your heartbeat deny its truth? There are two movements taking place for us all now. The external movement is like an enormous wave coming towards us. Climate change, money markets shifting, more and more refugees displaced through global disruption, religious breakdown, social and global violence expanding … Our old way of life and our understanding of what keeps order is changing. This is the old story of who we are. The other deep movement is internal, and it can only be felt by some of us at this time. It will build up, and many will remember and align. It is the evolutionary pulse inside each of us. We cannot control, dominate or manipulate this deep pulse of change inside us. It is aligned to an extraordinary intelligence, a vibrational frequency of wholeness, it is a part of us all. It has no words. It does not have a place in our intellectual or educational systems – it is not a language of any culture of this world. This is the evolution of humanity on a time mechanism of the natural force fields within and around us. Many are awakening, many are aligning … we live in a world of onefoot-in-the-old-story and one-foot-in-the-new-story. Some are being asked to build a bridge, a walkway for others to follow, for the masses to have a pathway to walk on. But who is doing the asking? It is a part of you … But who is doing the asking? It is a part of you – a deep part of you that is connected to the pulse of evolution in your heartbeat. This pulse of evolution is connected to the heartbeat of Mother Earth’s electromagnetic force field. All is connected… The foundations of this bridge between your heart and Mother Earth’s heartbeat has the whole journey of humanity within it, the human spirit. So many steps throughout our history – each generation has had its own expression – each person, family, culture, community has a place here in the foundations of the new way forward. Every step in the journey has been necessary, as humanity comes to a new story. We must acknowledge our mothers and fathers for passing life on to us – the human spirit is strong. Courage, determination, life itself has been passed on to us from our ancestors, in these extraordinary times. We have what it takes to move forward. There is so much potential. It is a part of the story behind us – opportunities, expansion, creation and connection are calling us forward. We are living in a time of great expansion, taking back the lost heritage we have within us. The bigger picture as to who we are is expressing itself through us – the many illusions that have held our reality together are being exposed. Old structures are leaving. New structures are birthing. We are truly blessed to be living in these times. Stand up in your uniqueness, your difference, your extraordinariness. Own who you are. Future generations will be blessed because you have the insight and courage to be you – the wisdom keepers of this time in history. Own who you are.
