The Universal Human

by Barbara Marx Hubbard

Whatever gets our attention, gets all of us.

1Cor. 15:37...that which thou sowest is not that body which shall be..

The resurrected body does not look like the seed from which it came. It is new and cannot be conceived from the perspective of the seed, save as a dim intuition of things to come. Fear not. Every seed has the design of its own future. The human being of flesh and blood is seed to the Universal Human. The human being has recorded in its mind the design of its own growth. Fear not. We do not need to know how to grow in order to grow. Let the plan unfold by purifying our mind, trusting our intuition, acting on our vision and remaining humble in the face of the awesome infinity which we do not yet know but soon will.

1 Cor. 15: 38-39, 41

"But God giveth it a body as it has pleased Him, and to every seed his own body."

The Universal Human we are growing toward has a beautiful body. Out only test is to purify our thoughts and act on our vision. All the rest is prepatterned. Our initiative is essential to growth. Unless the seeds break their shell, put down their roots, and send up their shoots to seek the light of the day, there will be no new body.

Every seed is unique. That which comes forth at this stage of history will know its creation more clearly.

1 Cor. 15:42, 44

"So also is the resurrection of the dead. it is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption. It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body and there is a spiritual body."

The seed of humanity, which is sown in animal bodies will be raised in spiritual bodies.

The natural body resonates at a low frequency. The spirutal body resonates at a higher frequency. During the transition from natural to spiritual through conscious evolution rather than physical death, there is a time of instability, when the frequency shifts from lower to higher, the intellect is disoriented and the body is surprised. This is a time for hibernation. As the bear sleeps through the winter alive, the tranforming human must sleep awhile to the world, must renounce all worldly concerns, must trust the process as a newborn child trusts its mother whom it has not yet recognized, so strange is she to a creature conceived and grown in the darkness of the womb, born into the world it knows not how, or why, or where.

So are we transforming humans at this stage of evolution, who are preparing not to sleep but to be changed in a twinkling of the eye.

The change is not planned by us. It is already prepatterned in our genes. Do we know how an eye opens for the first time? Do we know how an ear, built in the silence of the womb by millions of efficienct cells, hears for the first time? No, but it is natural. Transformation is natural. It is natural for a flesh and blood body to transform into an imperishable body at the stage of history when the species graduates from its terrestial to its universal phase.

"Oh, ye of little faith, who believe this is all there is, open your eyes and wonder how even this is here when only yesterday the Earth was silent, there was no light and no mind experienced life.

Imagine tomorrow, when the Earth is renewed, the body is imperishable, the minds are joined, the cocoon of Earth is open, the stars are your home and you have discovered that you can speak the language of the universe.

The unknown tongues of yesterday are the universal tones of tomorrow. The music of the spheres becomes comprehesibe to bodies resonating at a frequency that can pick up the vibrations of the universal conversations, which are even now gently impinging on you sleeping senses.

Awake, Oh humans, and smile, for the time you have prayed for is coming, the love you have yearned for is yours, the sights you have longed for will be seen. Day will break through the long dark night of the the soul, encased in dying bodies praying for the light.

The light is near, the light is here!"
