This is one of those times when I have something to say, I don’t know what it is so I am just going to close my eyes and wait and see what comes to mind first of all then go with that. Literally, I am typing this with my eyes closed.
We need to change. We need to make the shift towards a life of connection and harmony. If we don’t, we will regret it. This is the moment, right here and now to do this. There will be no other in anyone’s lifetime. Now. Move into that knowing of being connected to everyone else, make that shift. Stop the greed. Stop the fear. Stop the corruption. This is the time of the people to move forward and demand how they want their societies to be structured. How they want their ‘leaders’ to behave. How they are no longer prepared to be treated as the slaves when in actual fact our ‘leaders’ are the servants to us. We pay for them to be there, we place them there in a democratic society. We enable them to be there in a non-democratic society. It’s time for everyone to wake up to that realisation. That we do not have to tolerate what is dished out to us. This is not in any way advocating violent reform, quite the opposite. We can do this peacefully, we can do it harmoniously. We can tell those who serve us that we are unhappy with their service. We can make it clear that we know they serve us and not the other way around. We are not here simply to pay our taxes and be spoken to as if we are children. They don’t have the answers or at least all the answers anymore than anyone else does. This should be a co-creation not a dictatorship dressed up as democracy. Because that’s what is happening. It isn’t about serving the people anymore but serving themselves in the question of – how long can we hold onto power? And the two are can no longer exist together at the same time. That has become blatantly true in the western world. The ego mind has taken over so utterly that people can no longer see that they have a choice.
We choose to be fearful. We choose to be anxious. Yes, we are fed by our politicians and the media to be fearful and anxious but we choose to buy into it and in that way, we make it a reality in our 3D worlds. We feed that choice into the collective consciousness so that is more readily available to the Reticular Activating System (RAS) to determine the world as a chaotic, fearful and anxiety-ridden place. This has led to the inexorable rise in mental health problems, into physical health problems. But this does not need to exist. We can choose differently. And if we do, the collective consciousness is shifted to the extend that the RAS starts to see a different world. One where there are endless possibilities. One where we are a part of a beautiful natural system that is designed to help us survive as a collective. To enrich the world. A system which is designed to keep us all alive. Let that be the thing that looks out for us, not only our egoic mind. We are the only species on the planet that self-sabotages. All other species are looing out for danger, of course they are, but it doesn’t lead them to self-sabotage. It doesn’t lead them to walk into the jaws of danger as it seems to with humans. No, they actively avoid it until they have become too weak to do so. Survival of the fittest and all that. Your pre-determined end of time is another way of looking at it. But with humans, we have allowed our egoic minds to overrule our soul – the soul is what drives every other species and as a consequence, they just live in the present moment. There is no past, there is no future. They are entirely tapped into the collective consciousness which feeds them with all the innate information they require. It tells them when there is about to be an earthquake, a volcanic eruption and the such like so they know to flee and where to get to. We have so switched off from that that we end up being in the middle of the destruction when we could have had the chance to leave if we’d just listened to our instincts. And most people have an instinctive knowledge that there is an impending disaster. They just ignore it.
So, what can we do? We can choose to be different. It is truly as simple and as complicated as that. We can choose not to fear, we can choose not to be so anxious. We do that by focusing on what we do have in our lives that is good. And that starts to subtly shift the perspective. We can think ‘in this moment, right here and now I have everything I need to keep me alive’ – and if you don’t, listen to yourself and the answer of how to find that will come. It sounds trite, but try to calm your racing egoic mind and truly listen to your soul. The answer might be going to that shelter, asking if there is any help or support available. If you truly believe in it, if you truly want it, it will be there. You are worthy of it, you are deserving of it. Life is not designed to be as difficult as we make it. Yes, we are here to learn lessons but they don’t have to be as hard as we make them be.
The truth is that your reality is your own creation. I know people say that isn’t true. They say how can a child create a terrible disease within them such as cancer, and I get that completely. It does defy belief that the innocent are seemingly targeted in this way. I don’t have the answer to that right now, but I know there is one. It may not be what people want to hear – that the soul has signed up for that experience for whatever reason, in order to ascend. In order to learn what needs to be learned from it. That isn’t an easy thing to digest, and I get it completely. See the people you love the most suffer is the worst kind of pain, I’ve done it. I’ve been on both sides, I’ve watched someone I love very, very much suffer and I’ve watched as those I love saw me suffer. The sense of powerlessness in those moments is an unimaginable pain.
I do know, though, that my own cancer started me – inadvertently – on a spiritual road that I had no idea existed. All I do know is that on one particular occasion, standing in a forest, I felt something greater than me. In that moment, I was tapped (unknowingly) into the collective conscious that included the majestic pine trees I was surrounded by, the birds that were singing around me, the breeze as it drifted past. I was connected to all of it and I felt such a profound sense of love and connection for and to everything, for everything I was surrounded by and for the life I had. It’s an experience I have never forgotten and in the darkest days of my life then and since it has kept me going. That knowledge that there is something out there that is more than all of us and that that something is pure love. I do also know and accept that I chose that experience, my soul chose that experience whether I wanted it or not. Trust me, I would have preferred to have been knocked into a spiritual journey without that diagnosis. But, it happened and I took the lessons from it of which there were many.
If we can make the different choices, though, we can relinquish hatred and fear and judgement and worry and anxiety and any concerns that there isn’t enough in this world. Because none of that is true. It is a story your egoic mind has created to keep you safe. The egoic mind isn’t bad, it’s our protection mechanism. But it is inherently negative because of the job it does – survival – and because we have that ability to focus on our past and worry about our future. We rarely, if ever, live in this exact moment here and now. But that is where we find peace. That is where we find happiness. That is where we find love. Love for ourselves primarily – the ego mind and its incessant negative chatter does rob us of that quite a bit. But in focusing on the present moment, we can find it again. And we can connect into the collective conscious with all its astounding beauty and its enveloping comfort of pure love.
And in so doing, we can start to spread a silent message that we are not prepared to tolerate this anymore. We are not prepared to tolerate the systems that keep us oppressed even in democracies. That pit us against each other when there is no need for that. We don’t need to be at war with each other in any way whether that is because we have different political or religious views. None of that makes any sense in the collective conscious where we are all one. Where we are all connected. By love. And it is in the collective conscious we can find the answers and work together towards peace, harmony and a better world. Please, join me.
Typed with my eyes closed, refined of typos with my eyes open. The message remaining the same regardless.
