New Year, New Reality

Wow! I realize that I haven't written in a couple of months. Every time I was given a message to send out, I would sit with it for a couple of days. But then when I sat to write it, I was shown that the energy had changed again. Any of you out there feeling this too? Seems like quantum changes almost every day, especially since the last new moon eclipse.

The old paradigm feels like it is slipping away from my reality. For me, the old paradigm is the patriarchal system where consumerism, competition and mostly, the feeling of separateness exists. A stronger sense of community, supporting each other and the Earth as best we can, is the theme I am feeling. I know that many still cling tightly to the old patriarchy. That having power from the top down feels comfortable to so many, especially when they are in power. Greed and hatred are still a huge part of human reality according to my access to news and social media. But for me, those things are not present in my life and in my bubble of community. Mostly I am experiencing great Joy and Gratitude.

This is not to deny the suffering of so many and the great losses that are being experienced. I don't believe that you somehow reach a spiritual level where these challenges don't happen. I am aware that our fragile human bodies break down and that real suffering exists. And at the same time, there seems to be a different experience of reality that coexists with the one of suffering.

I admit that I am a very privileged person. My family has been blessed with more than enough food, clothing, shelter and good health. I know that I speak from that place of privilege where I do not worry about having my power cut off or being evicted (anymore). I am aware of how fortunate I am. I do believe that what I am experiencing is applicable for all of us, no matter how challenging life is.

I feel that the Universe is calling us to step into this different reality. This is a reality where Creator/Spirit/Helpers walk side by side with us, providing guidance and help. Where our thoughts are our prayers and manifest into reality. This seems to be the theme for what I am experiencing. The Veils between human and Spirit seem very thin. This allows our paths to be supported from other dimensions. And I feel that we are being called to envision our personal and collective path forward with the help of Spirit.

What does this look like? From my perspective, it looks like deepening our relationship with Spirit in whatever way that is authentic. Letting go of the ideas of separateness which breeds fear. Watch our thoughts. Our more intense thoughts like fear, anger, hatred, greed are quick to manifest. But so are our thoughts of Love, Joy, Compassion. This way of living comes with great responsibility. It is also important to realize that resistance to the way things are is a participation with the way things are. What we resist persists. Time to move beyond this old reality.

As we choose to deepen our connection with Spirit we learn to be in a state of union while doing our life of separateness. From this place, our requests through our thoughts quickly manifest. With the veils thinner, this is happening to some degree for all who are seeking a multi-dimensional path. So, if your mind is clear and peaceful, the reality reflects that. If your mind is clouded by fear, your reality also reflects that.

For 2+ years, the astrology has supported us in seeing so much of the darkness around us, and hopefully you have also taken the opportunity to see the darkness in us. We have had many opportunities to heal ourselves on multiple levels. Now, it is time to add bringing healing to the collective darkness. We are never finished with our own work, but now is time to reach out to our communities with Love and Compassion. It is time to find ways to Unite in spite of differences. Truly, when I listen to those who seem so different from me, I realize we are more alike than different. We can find common ground with most people around us. (not everyone will be open, but most are). Reach out with Compassion and see how your community will expand and grow.

The journey through these times will still be bumpy. But with Spirit guidance and a little help from our friends, our path will be gentler. If you need support on this journey, feel free to reach out to me or others in your community for support. Look for helpers that find the Compassion and Joy in life. Avoid those who promote fear and anger. As we join together in community with Love and Compassion, we will be creating the New World of our Dreams.

Blessings,
