I guess it all depends at how you look at the situation.
So what I meant was more from an astrological perspective, but perhaps there is more at play as well, as there usually is.
I think that there is a commonality between volunteers — very likely not "all" — which fits into the eclipse energies, and means patterns of life circumstances are very similar.
So as an example, I'm feeling like something has lifted and I'm able to just go ahead and take action with more practical plans, even though those plans are not perfect and some things are not sorted out yet. This doesn't at all mean the world is suddenly going to change because a few hundred thousand, or perhaps a few million, people start becoming serious about getting more involved with their planned path in life and doing some more important things.
If we look at the types of volunteers, such as what
Dolores Cannon has mentioned, or
Page Bryant, there are 3 main types, and each fits into a certain age range, so go through similar events and situations as a result. I seem to fit into the second type of volunteer.
I don't look at light workers being the same thing as volunteers — very different for me.
In combination, when all the volunteers start making more serious changes in their lives, that will help consciousness change on a global level, as each of their individual frequencies will raise a bit more as a result of them stepping up. They will make a larger impact on the people they come into contact with, and will likely be reaching more people than they ever have reached before — with exceptions as there are always exceptions.
This will take time, but it should be a shorter window of time where a larger amount of change occurs.
I came to the conclusion back in 2013 that there wasn't going to be any singular event, but a series of smaller energetic waves now and again which would gradually push consciousness forward. This meant the process was going to be gradual, with more noticeable changes occurring in the years we are in now, 2017-2021 or so. So far it seems like this is what is going on, but I really don't pay as much attention like I used to.
