There can be no denying the intensity and vigour of the wave
upon wave of shift lapping the shores of our souls at the present time. Whilst
there are times when we can feel lost in the currents, there are other times of
crystal clear clarity and vision which inspire us to have faith and to keep on,
keeping on.
With the vim and vigour of these shifts amplifying now, they
are ricocheting deeply into our hearts, souls and lives, opening us up to the
full majesty and magnificence of divinity. When we truly feel ourselves as a
part of the Divine, everything changes; to reach such a stage takes courage and
strength, for it involves going within and validating the Self. At the same
time it involves letting go of the need for external validation and becoming
truly at peace with our Selves. This is not about ego; it is about acceptance
and openness.
When we step beyond fear and open up to our natural and
divine state of being, we loosen those shackles that have bound the mind like
ivy around a tree, and we begin to feel the power of free thinking and positive
intent. This goes beyond positive affirmations, to a place of deep inner
knowing and faith.
It is important to realise that every single one of us is a
part of the Whole, and, as a result, we all have access to Divinity and to the
power within. Of course, it is how we use this power and embrace this Divinity
that ultimately shapes and defines our lives, and our destinies.
With such powerful shifts lapping the shores of the soul, it
is understandable that so many amongst us are feeling lost, alone, uncertain
and confused. Opening up to our Divinity is not for the feint hearted, for it
involves opening up all of the senses and the soul to the true awe and power of
the Divine and of our Selves. Whilst it would be great if this process was all
‘sweetness and light’ and fluffy pink bunnies; for most of us, it isn’t. There
are likely to be days when the dark nights of the soul feel endless, and there
are likely to be days when the senses go into overload where it is hard to take
in the vibrating, heaving mass of energy in every single corner of existence;
it is as though we become ‘too awake’ and our senses cannot take it all in.
However, there are also likely to be days when we see the
new dawn breaking and we feel clarity in our hearts and souls. There will also be
days when the world will feel more ‘alive’ than ever before: every tree, every
leaf, every insect, every grain of sand – everything moves into sharper focus
and brighter colour, and we become even more aware of the vibrations and the
energy of Creation. Such moments instil hope and faith, for as well as sensing
the world around us, we also sense the world within us and feel a growing sense
of peace that we are becoming Whole and embracing our true state of being.
So, when we have those days or those moments which stop us
in our tracks and open up our hearts and souls to the wonder of All, we should
embrace the moment and become One with the magic and the inspiration.
These tumultuous times are challenging us on so many levels,
and it is all too easy to feel like pawns in a massive game of Universal chess,
but when we connect to the stillness that lies at our cores, we re-centre and
the changing currents start to dance with us and through us, rather than around
us to confuse us.
On those days when the rains come, we can feel the heaviness
of the grey skies and the chill of the damp or we can accept that the rain is
playing its part in watering the soul, just as it waters the land and gives
life to the crops. We can resist the rain, but it is an integral part of the
cycle of life; once we accept this, we become One with it. So, when the shafts
of sunlight dance on the glistening water drops as the rain starts to ease, we
can finally feel the joy of being fully conscious and awake...
