The raise in consciousness will, in and of itself, bring about the paradigm shift so badly needed on planet earth right now.

Seems to me that it is in what accompanies this elevated frequency shift that the greatest level of optimism for the future comes. People who 'awaken' cannot help themselves from being more tolerant of others, more kind, and more decent as humans...and boy oh boy that's what's needed around this neck of creation for sure! 💚
