Clearing the old paradigm and waking up to the new…

It’s a great time to Wake up and breath in the roses.  So many things outside of our individual selves seem to be going through great change these days.  We can look at the world and easily see the shifts in politics, religious movements, changes in weather patterns, financial struggles and how money is being redistributed into new areas.  Everything is in constant flux and the foundation of what we think we know can feel shaky and ungrounded.  But let not fear run the show. This is a grand opportunity of the “Now” to find inner resources that have been ignored or forgotten.  Much is waiting to be awakened into the light of consciousness. It is in bringing our awareness to the openings that brings us into alignment with our deepest callings and actions.

So what would it be like to acknowledge what is and allow the old structures to break apart and dissolve, while consenting to the freedom of this new movement with its creative flow and reorganization? It has always been the case that we have the precious “Now” with all that it entails.  And no matter how much we resist what is, it just IS.  We can deny, try to destroy, hide, run, kill, fight or pretend that life is different than what it is.  But in the longrun, what matters most to us in the deepest way is that we come alive in our incarnations here on life to know the fullness of the Divine or the Universe however one meets the Higher Power.  This is because this is the place where we live and learn to know the fullness of our True Selves unfolding into the One Heart, the One Truth, the One Spirit, and the One Mind.

In the past, we have always had people who left the community go into seclusion to find God and the meaning of life. Now, people are becoming more mindful in their day-to day lives and finding their own awakening to the Divine. There is a movement of Awakening that comes not from the personality, but from the Greater One touching our souls and reminding us what is important and True.  It matters not, whether it is found through religion, spiritual quests or even in virtual reality, but the thought that we can become more aware to our own thoughts and the deeper life force beneath is giving space now for this widespread awakening.  We are waking up to the thought that we are something more than the material world outside ourselves without having to denounce it or devalue it.  Rather we can wake up to living in our own Truth and in harmony to what exists on both sides of the line between the Known and the Unknown. It is an exciting time to be living in this tremendous turmoil, but also in the excitement it brings to our deepest cellular memory as we receive the Blessings of transformation and transcendance.

Whoever you are and on whatever path you have chosen, explore the gift of Waking Up through prayer, meditation, and bringing mindfulness into your lives.  Let the unimaginable touch deep into your soul and bring forth that which you have only dreamed of.  Let go of your fears.  You may be so pleasantly surprised.  Wake up and breath in the roses amidst the wild confusing events that are happening now. Look with fresh eyes and open senses at the beauty that lies Within and is Waking you up to the profoundly Sacred experience of the Now.  Yes…   -Sharon Hartnett
