Wanted: Evolutionary Doulas
We are entering into the 6th great epoch of human evolution that has occurred over the past 50,000 years. Just like a doula helps birth parents through the planning, delivery, and care of a newborn, you are being invited to do the same on a much larger and impactful scale.
If there were a cosmic newspaper with a Help Wanted section it might run a classified ad stating: “Wanted: Evolutionary Doulas*.” The more a soul awakens the more it embraces the Eros of evolution. It inherently aligns with its unique role in the awakening of the human species.
No matter what gender a soul embodies it understands its co-creative role in the birthing of the next wave of human evolution, of consciousness itself. In the same way a mother cannot stop the birth of her child, any human can feel into the core of their being that they are participating in a birth that cannot be stopped. There is no other choice. It knows a birth is coming and it will do its best to prepare for it in whatever way it is invited. Both the pain and joy of the experience are welcomed and embraced.
As much as both parents are consumed with joy and awe at the birthing of their child, an embodied soul is intoxicated with the joy that comes from being an integral part of creation itself. If you’ve been present during the birth of a child then you likely can recall the depth and meaning this experience evokes. If not perhaps you can contemplate your own birth from your soul’s perspective.
It gets better. Can you fathom what it would be like to be the Doula, the parent, and the birth child all at the same time? An awakened soul is able to hold this embodied awareness fully in the core of its knowing. This knowing magnifies the meaning of the word “awe.” This expanded awe comes from an awareness that this evolutionary birthing cannot be accomplished alone but only in communion with other like minded souls working together. It is truly a communal undertaking like none we’ve ever had.

As we peak through the emerging doorway into the next stage of human development (like seeing the head of a baby crowning from the womb) we begin to understand and taste what a new emergent worldview looks and feels like as it builds on all that has come before. Not only can we see that this birthing is necessary for our species to survive, but we also grok that our participation is needed for a new and healthier society to emerge. Only then will we be able to look together at what we are co-creating while we appreciate all its implications. We become a joyful parent witnessing a beautiful newborn full of new potential and promise.
The pseudo-soul (false self/ego) is trapped by its small and limited view. It cannot understand or sense something that is not inherently part of its awareness and identity. Because its awareness is built on its limited experience of this lifetime, it can only generate pseudo-Eros based on the limitations of its imagination. It is trapped by its own identity, neediness, and attachments to its beliefs. This often leads to depression, anxiety, or a gloomy outlook on life.
It is commonly constrained in at least two ways:
First, it’s motivation is derived from how one answers this question: “What group or subgroup of our planet do your choices primarily support?” While every person and group need to be supported and honored, we need more than Ego or Ethno centric motivations if we are to give birth to the next evolutionary wave of our species. An awakening soul holds the view that each individual and group can only thrive and evolve when supported by a healthy and thriving larger group. A new world-centric worldview emerges that integrates all views, all people, all groups. Its motivations are driven first by what best serves the whole.

A pseudo-soul puts the needs of itself, family, or subgroup (ethnicity, corporation, political party, church, city, country, fellow believers) first and lets the chips fall where they may with little regard for the larger global community.
Second, a pseudo–soul is often unaware or unable to literally feel into the evolutionary impulse of Eros. Thus it cannot feel into the universe’s (Agape’s) invitation and call to evolve and awaken further. Its pseudo-Eros shows up in “earthly desires” that are of limited and transient value arising from a hunger that can never be filled. Its true role in the unfolding human story is subsumed by its own narrow needs and desires which block its ability to understand, embrace, feel, or even contemplate the Eros of the Universe calling it into greater communion with it’s True Nature, to Oneness with all.

Our species is in the birth canal and the head of the next epoch is beginning to crown. How much of this evolutionary impulse are you able to feel? An awakened soul knows a successful birth of this next epoch can only be accomplished in communion with other souls. A critical mass of sufficiently awakened souls will become the new Doula that ushers in this epic event. Each unique soul will embrace its particular role in this birth.
How will you answer this evolutionary invitation?
