The energies are strong right now. The world seems to be doubled over hobbling from crisis to crisis. And the politicians, the media, and world leaders are serving up an intensifying diet of fear, uncertainty, and increasing control. Most people are responding by doing what they’re told, hiding away, keeping their head down, quietly watching their will slowly seeping away. While others are flickering into life, groggily regaining consciousness, and staggering back towards reconnection and acknowledgement of their own sovereignty.
The astrologers will tell you that it’s because of this planet in that constellation, biophysics suggests it’s because a galactic sheet is entering Earth’s energy field or a shift in the magnetic poles, and the esoterics will tell you it’s the foretold rise in humanity’s consciousness and the creation of a New Earth. Whatever the reason, I’m feeling it, and big time! My body doesn’t feel like my own, my sense of reality keeps shifting, I don’t recognise myself, my life, or the people around me anymore. And all the time there is this background hum of anxiety about what it all means and where’s it all going to end.
So what should I do to stop this feeling that I am going mad and that I am struggling to hold onto the world around me which seems to be descending into chaos. How do I make peace with the last fragments of the life I knew crumbling from inside my clenched fists. Eckhart Tolle would say it’s all about the NOW. And Tashira Tachi-ren would say it’s about following Spirit in every moment. There is no other way. When you no longer feel a connection to the traumas of the past because you’ve changed and let them go, and when the future is so foggy because it involves the stepping forward of a radically changed you. There is nothing else to do but to stop, breathe, and tune into the inner part of you that is still connected to a greater whole, to the One they call Source, Creator, the Divine, Mother-Father-God, Purusha, Om, Great Spirit.
If we really are individual expressions of the Divine, co-creating our reality as we go, then the way to navigate through this is to hold your nerve. Allow the script of your life to change and watch as the set and the actors around you change to match your new vibration. Opening up to Spirit is damned hard, especially when it feels like no one else around you sees it, when you suddenly feel like you are walking alone. When you stop and feel the warmth of the sun on your skin, feel the ache of your heart opening up to life, the fight or flight fade from your body, it’s unsettling when it seems that nobody else gets it yet. Are you deluded, now one of those crazy people who denies the world’s suffering, not taking things seriously enough? Or the opposite.. are you simply awake to the truth, the first to feel the shift that we’ll all have to go through, a pioneer, a wayshower, a lightworker, one of the brave ones.
So I’m trying to maintain my Light, to be the lighthouse, to be the flame that ignites the spark for others around me, to ask my Spirit – What do I need to know? What do I need to do in this moment? But today I’m having a wobble. Feeling adrift, not quite here and not quite there..not quite brave enough to stand up and fully embrace and embody the huge amounts of vigour, joy, and compassion that is bubbling up inside me. Not completely trusting this strange new energy that has no axe to grind, no anger to vent, and no grievances to share. Who are you when you are no longer defined by your limitations but by your unlimited potential. What are you when you sense an immense divine power deep within you and you’ve spent your whole life feeling at the mercy of your external world. It’s not easy to truly believe in your divinity when you’ve only ever seen your darkness, your wrongness.
But now more than ever it feels like we are all being called to step out of the shadows, to come out of the caves and down from the mountains, to drop the act and the disguises, and to truly be ourselves. We are being asked to trust that the world needs us right now, to help guide us all towards the energies of the New Earth. There are no more witch hunts, burning stakes, chains, dungeons, or stocks. That all belongs to the past and we are entering a new age..So take a deep breath..stand..shine…and simply be. That is enough.
