The end came and went… a few times I think… the “big” one, though, was almost three months ago. The new beginning? How can we tell when it started?
Almost a season has turned. I observe social media and read the blogs and watch the video clips sharing the variety of perceptions of what happened/is happening. Some people expected or hoped for a transformation on December 22nd, 2012 that would rock the socks off of current norms and cultures, evoking a mass awakening of spiritual consciousness. Some felt deflated when it seemed as though nothing really changed. Some foretold of a transition that would take time and impact our lives in unique and unexpected ways. Some called it just another New Age or religious hoax.
For me, it has been an internal experience. First, to clear up any confusion about which of the above camps can claim my support: in totality, none of them… but I stand close enough to the concept of a transition that impacts us uniquely to put my arms around the members of this group. So, I will claim them ; >)
My truth is this: Evolution is to Life as gravity is to Earth. The very nature of Earth creates gravity. The very nature of Life evokes evolution. There really are no needs for special dates or cosmic prophecies because evolve we will as long as we live, regardless of prophecy or forecast. That said, there is in inherent power in belief (I believe; >), and — when a cluster of minds engages in the belief of a prophecy — that prophecy gains influential “mass”, if you will, to shape the perceptual filters through which we observe and define experience.
OK. That’s enough concept.
Here’s what I experience. Through choices I made over the past couple of years (leaving the Abraham-Hicks organization and teachings, engaging with John of God in Abadiania, Brazil, and moving to Washington state from central Florida), I set into motion openings in both my inner and outer worlds for change to have its way with me. (See: Welcome Change)
In the shifting sands of change, unpredictability and opportunity become synonyms. the discomfort of change feeds the fire for risking more change. The crumbling of structures that fall away during change leaves space for something new to emerge. Change is the platform from which evolution springs. In the leap of evolution, new realities become the proof of prophecy.
Some say our DNA is changing. Some that we are moving into a more multi-dimensional paradigm of experience. Others speak to the very vibrational frequency of our Being undergoing shifts… we are “humming” faster, I suppose they mean. Truly, I can’t speak to any of that. But I can say, based upon my experience, that:
- I am getting better and better at being true to my authentic self in all kinds of circumstance.
- It is easier for me be gentle with others, gentler with myself.
- Colors are more vibrant for me, and I see rainbows everywhere… even when it hasn’t rained.
- I accept the unpredictability of Life with an equanimity that dissolves the stress of uncertainty.
- I used to value getting what I want. Now I value loving everything I have and experience and Am.
So, once again, I don’t know if the stories of our Awakening times are true… or — if any of them are — which ones. Truly, I’m still not sure who God is and whether or not this fits into something called “God’s Plan/Experiment.” What I do understand is the Will to Good. I know when I am aligned with it. What I do understand is how love feels, and when I am aligned with it. For me, these two understandings are worthy of being called a paradigm shift of Awakening. And I am awake!
Join me, if you will. Either way, I thank you, and I love you.
I really enjoyed reading this. It touched me deeply. I am relatively new to the New Age thinking and through confusion……..lol……….am still trying to find my way. I love the thoughts that you put down. I agree whole heartedly. I join with you! Much love!
Arm in arm, we go, Susan 😀 Bright-eyed and eager for the adventure where ever it brings us… for me, part of the fun of all this “New Age Thought” is sorting through for the nuggets that resonate a truth I can identify as real for me. Let’s go mining for gold together, shall we? 😉
thanks for sharing ahnalira! i think i learned early on to trust myself, and follow my intuition- it got me from ohio to southern italy and here i have stayed (11 years) and built a family. now, i am actually studying the how of what i do- trying to figure out how to do it even more. but, do i need to? it certainly is interesting and seems to have something to do with belief, trust and intention. i have found so much valuable information in messages from abraham-hicks, bashar, teal scott and others- now i add you to that list! thanks for shining! brightest blessings of Love and Light, and happy Spring!
Happy Spring to you, too, emi 😀
Belief, trust, and intention is a potent blend, I agree! Even a combination of any of two of those three qualities can make magic happen, I believe.
Kudos to you and your adventuring soul for integrating a move from the US to Italy! I can totally understand why you’d want to assess how you made it work and use the learning to apply for next endeavor… it’s the creative priniciple to evaluate, integrate, and then reach for more again, right?
And thanks for your kind words 😀
