New Earth tools #1 – Breathing
“After Jesus had greeted them again, he said, ‘I am sending you, just as the Father has sent me.’ Then he breathed on them and said, ‘Receive the Holy Spirit.’” (John 20:21-22)
When you place your awareness on your breath, your breathing ceases to be unconscious and becomes conscious. With that simple act you cross a magical threshold. You leave the realm of the individual and enter that of the Holy Spirit.
New Earth tools #2 – Intent
“It is just as I said—God has shown what he intends to do.” (Genesis 41:28)
Intent is pure desire for the Kingdom of Heaven. It’s the crack cocaine of conscious progress. It’s a quiet fire in your heart that tells God: “I’m done with this. I will do whatever it takes to get out of here.”
New Earth tools #3 – Neutrality
“I have told you this, so that you might have peace in your hearts because of me. While you are in the world, you will have to suffer.” (John 16:33)
When you consciously and consistently apply non-judgment to your thoughts, feelings and behaviours, you change your point of resonance.
New Earth tools #4 – Boundaries
“Your worst enemies will be in your own family.” (Matthew 10:36)
When we have healthy emotional boundaries, we become our own authority. Obsessive behaviour ceases. Instead, we become emotionally centred and stable, immune to manipulation by others.
New Earth tools #5 – Permission
“Joab bowed very low and said, ‘Your Majesty, I thank you for giving your permission. It shows that you approve of me.’” (2 Samuel 14:22)
Most of us are familiar with the word ‘permission’ as it relates to access rights on computers. In some instances we have ‘edit’ rights that allow us to change things. Sometimes we have ‘read’ rights that allow us to view things. In some situations we have no permission whatsoever. When we have no access rights we don’t even know what can be accessed.
New Earth tools #6 – Discernment
“They don’t have enough sense to say to themselves, ‘I made a fire with half of the wood and cooked my bread and meat on it. Then I made something worthless with the other half. Why worship a block of wood?’” (Isaiah 44:19-20)
Just because the majority holds a certain belief, doesn’t mean it’s appropriate for you. And as a unique fragment of God, your pathway to the New Earth is unique. You cannot get there following someone else’s signposts.
New Earth tools #7 – Faith
“If you had faith no larger than a mustard seed, you could tell this mountain to move from here to there.” (Matthew 17:20)
So when nothing else works, have faith. Evolution travels in spirals and your path will spiral too. It will spin you around, make no sense one moment and deliver profound illumination the next.
New Earth tools #8 – Courage
“Merely a glimpse of this monster makes all courage melt.” (Job 41:9)
It might mean finding the courage to stand tall, like a lighthouse, and resist something that threatens to sweep over you that you know is wrong.
New Earth tools #9 – Surrender
“Surrender your heart to God, turn to him in prayer.” (Job 11:13)
Surrender is like a water ride at a theme park. Relax and let go. Yes, you’re going to get wet—very wet. Forget ‘normal’. Your past life has gone and it’s not coming back.
New Earth tools #10 – Self-observation
“Stay away from those Pharisees! They are like blind people leading other blind people, and all of them will fall into a ditch.” (Matthew 15:14)
You might think that we all do this innately, all of the time. Actually we don’t. Whenever we are acting out from some unconscious trigger, we are completely oblivious of it.
New Earth tools #11 – Self-responsibility
“We each must carry our own load.” (Galatians 6:5)
What self-responsibility entails is the full realisation and acceptance that you have co-created whatever is happening in your life.
New Earth tools #12 – Grace
“Then, because you belong to Christ Jesus, God will bless you with peace that no one can completely understand. And this peace will control the way you think and feel.” (Philippians 4:7)
Grace is a quality of ease and peace in the midst of suffering.
New Earth tools #13 – Forgiveness
“If you forgive others for the wrongs they do to you, your Father in heaven will forgive you. But if you don’t forgive others, your Father will not forgive your sins.” (Matthew 6:14-15)
If you have painful memories about a past event, they are actually emotions that occurred in that past moment that you couldn’t process at the time and hence got stuck in your emotional body.
New Earth tools #14 – Self-love
“What if I gave away all that I owned and let myself be burned alive? I would gain nothing, unless I loved myself.” (1 Corinthians 13)
Self-love is not just an important tool for anyone who wants to enter the New Earth. The process simply cannot be completed without it.
New Earth tools #15 – Gratitude
“Plant your roots in Christ and let him be the foundation for your life. Be strong in your faith, just as you were taught. And be grateful.” (Colossians 2:7)
Can you be deeply grateful for where you are right now, no matter how much it sucks, no matter how much it hurts? If you can, that sucker will shift in no time because it has nothing left to teach you.
New Earth tools #16 – Balance
“My dear friends, you have been warned ahead of time! So don’t let the errors of evil people lead you down the wrong path and make you lose your balance.” (2 Peter 3:17)
When you’re caught in the swirling eddies of life, wondering which way to turn, turn towards balance. Get down to the water’s edge. Feel the waves lapping at your feet. Each wave is coming in or going out—yet the sea is always in balance.
New Earth tools #17 – Vulnerability
“But he replied, ‘My kindness is all you need. My power is strongest when you are weak.’” (2 Corinthians 12:9)
Vulnerability means opening the door to change, painful change. It means recognising the dynamic of ‘breaking down to break through’.
New Earth tools #18 – Sincerity
“God blesses those people whose hearts are pure.” (Matthew 5:8)
Sincerity isn’t a tool in it’s own right, it’s an attitude that envelops everything we do while trying to evolve the next version of ourselves. Sincerity is more like how we hold other tools.
New Earth tools #19 – Compassion
“If any of you have never sinned, then go ahead and throw the first stone at her!” (John 8:7)
Although the word doesn’t appear in the Bible (I use the Contemporary English Version), Jesus demonstrates compassion throughout his ministry.
New Earth tools #20 – Fortitude
“He was painfully abused, but he did not complain. He was silent like a lamb being led to the butcher, as quiet as a sheep having its wool cut off.” (Isaiah 53:7)
When our life is moving ahead, when we have progress and self-directed change, we don’t need fortitude. We need fortitude when life brings us to a halt—a stay in hospital, a forced pause due to a breakdown in travel arrangements, a global pandemic lockdown.
New Earth tools #21 – Honouring
“If you put yourself above others, you will be put down. But if you humble yourself, you will be honoured.” (Matthew 23:12)
Meet each person with honour. They are who they are. They are where they are. Changing their viewpoint is not your job. It’s unrealistic, and a violation of their sovereignty. Instead, do something both realistic and powerful.
New Earth tools #22 – Play
“My friends, stop thinking like children. Think like mature people and be as innocent as tiny babies.” (1 Corinthians 14:20)
True innocence is not ignorance, it is full understanding of this fallen world—and a choice to be unaffected by it.
