Right now the moment is all about chopping wood and carrying water, sticking to the simple things in life. This is how we take care of ourselves and our hearts when things get intense and hard to manage in life. Since we are really just one consciousness and are all connected, the events across the globe affects us all deeply whether we have the awareness of it or not. Alot of people seem to internalize this awareness as deep fear that they too will suffer the same or similar fate. People seem to have a hard time connecting with themselves deeply enough to feel the pain of having lost so many souls … so they turn the experience inward on themselves, as if it is them having the catastrophe. It has been hard to have compassion for the people in Japan or the Middle East without also feeling guilty on some level that we have survived, so there is a deep need to create scenarios that "we are next" or that we are also going to suffer some ill fate. What we really need is conscious loving compassion for everyone without the added energy of guilt and fear, just simple compassion which comes from knowing how to care for oneself deeply and without apology.
We are each 100% responsible for the reality that we experience 100% of the time. If you find yourself blaming others for the experience of your life - then please welcome yourself to unconsciousness! … It’s all good. Every single one of us has the unconscious operating in our reality. It is the way we are designed to be, and if you believe that we create the world that we experience, then you should also understand that what you think and say are energies that ripple out into the world all around you. Everything is energy and everyone and everything is affected by you on some level, somehow and somewhere. You’ve all seen the movies where people go back in time and if they change even one tiny little thing, the future is completely altered forever. That is because every seemingly little thing you do, affects others in some way that may not even be known by you at the time. You are a big part of this great life and we need you!
That is why the most beneficial thing you could do for humanity right now and every day is wake up! Wake up to yourself! Wake up to the words you say, the unconscious dialog you share with yourself and the way you internalize your experiences.
Fear is an excellent way to start the process of waking up because fear is an indicator. That is all. It is meant to be acknowledged, said hello to and welcomed as an old friend into the home of your consciousness without judgment and without attachment. There is so much raw potential awareness contained within the shadow of fear, and it is such an incredible opportunity to wake up to what makes you, uniquely you.
But most of us try to find a way to capitalize on fear or share it with the world in an effort to see who is on board with us so that we may feel better about thinking that way in the first place. Fear is a tricky thing; it makes us think it's protecting us by making more fear. But who wins when the whole world is living in fear? It’s partly a way to stay unconscious to what is really happening on different levels for us individually. Yes fear is there to protect us, but at what point does the self protection become unsupportive?
There is something so beautiful about disaster and shocking change. It actually helps us wake up to NOW consciousness. The kind of consciousness that keeps us connected to our hearts instead of our minds and the kind that helps us remember and appreciate the simpler things in life.
Now, even though it may feel like it to some of us, time is not actually speeding up, but creation is! As a global consciousness we have been slowly becoming aware of the term “manifestation” and “intention”. Oprah has made sure of it! We are now able to create faster than we ever were before and we are finally waking up to the awareness that our thoughts create our reality and are doing so on a global scale.
It is imperative that we become aware of the dialog that we share with our self and others. Ask yourself where it is coming from. Is it even yours? Does it belong to someone else? Does it fully resonate with the deepest inner reaches of your heart? Is it coming from guilt? Is it coming from pain? What kind of pain? Where is the pain? When thinking of people affected by devastation or change, ask yourself if what you are sending their way is truly coming from pure unconditional compassion? – Because that is the only kind of compassion that can create a positive result in the world. Not guilty compassion.
If you find it difficult to tune in with yourself to ask these questions, it may be an indicator that you are not nurturing yourself or taking time for yourself enough. Have you ever noticed how rejuvenating a good vacation can be? Or a long walk in nature or even meditation? Answers seem to come where before there were none? That is no accident; we have become so conditioned in this world to constantly be doing for everyone else and completely ignore ourselves. In our culture it is acceptable and often rewarded to behave in such a way... But I have a secret to share with you, unless you are looking to win the self sacrifice award of the year (which you will never receive because you will never, ever do enough to receive it) you might reconsider your motivations in life.
Break the spell. Turn off the mainstream media. Consider what occupies your ears and your eyes and realize that what goes in MUST come out. You are what you surround yourself with. PLAY, LAUGH, SING or DANCE in order to wake up in the moment. Remind yourself why you’re here. Consider that when you feel fear about the world or humanity, it may just be that you are feeling fear about your own life and by sharing this fear in an unconscious way it creates more fear consciousness and injects it into the mainstream of life consciousness - The ripple effect. Know that it is all about you caring for you. It always has been about you - no one else. You are a tiny little version of the entire universe and it is you that needs love, nurturing, support, freedom and time- and you are the only one who can give it to yourself. Otherwise how else can you really help the rest of the world at all?
YOU must BE the change you wish to see in the world. - Mahatma Gandhi
