The Opportunity that presents within Crisis!

Errol Weiner author of several books and a long time friend of mine, says times have changed:  “The 'new age grouping', as it is apparently understood, is over, and it no longer is the chalice for Christ Consciousness 'in demonstration'. It is living off its 'past' and its 'past achievements' and the 'talk is no longer the walk' and has not been for a good number of years. Many people know this, and in fact many people are depressed and disillusioned because they know this, and do not know what to do about it, and they also know that there is nothing that can be done about it because 'its time is up'. It has done and completed its basic pioneering work and the 'masses' (= the larger 'mass' of humanity) are now the major recipients of this Energy and its manifested 'qualities'. The Leicester City phenomenon is a great symbol for this.   If you do not believe the above ask yourself (and others) 'Am I/Are you experiencing any 'real' Love and Joy and Unity in Diversity and Community Consciousness in my/your so-called 'new age' life?”  

If there is residual discontent within,  then it is time to surrender all and ‘wait nicely’ to see what comes next.  There is never any fear about giving away what has been, for that which is ours will come back to us anyway!

The more we listen to our own inner wisdom and guidance the stronger and more empowered we become. We will start to ‘live’ what we profess in the wider environment. But along with that we have no choice but to acknowledge the sadness, fear, frustration or anger that still lurks within us, as we face the consequences of past actions and reactions.  For the past month the hidden parts of our psyche have been exposed bit by bit as our truth has been brought to the surface.  Now is the time to open some doors from the inside out!  Only then will new external doors open to us.

We’ve seen and heard a great deal but we do not necessarily believe what we have seen and heard.  Time to spend some time to ponder the wisdom that is contained within.  We can spend hours reading books on self-development and spirituality and honour that wisdom, yet is that appropriate to our changing world today within its previous form?  It may seem easier to just listen to gossip instead.  We rarely believe anything merely on the authority of our teachers or elders.  We need to be convinced deep within. Certainly those who have a proven track record of walking the walk rather than just talking the talk are convincing, and after observation and personal analysis we may ‘run on the track’ a mentor has advised if we see it has been good and beneficial to one and all.   At least we maybe more willing than before to confer with those who have a proven track record of wide experience themselves.

The Invictus Games has illustrated this to a tee.  We accept that in spite of injury visible or invisible, these people have something to offer others while at the same time helping themselves .  When we accept that we try to live to the highest standards rather than revert to what is no longer an option or even open to us.   Once we have learned that if we speak or act with evil intent only pain will result we move on.  Evil is live spelt backwards so denotes wrong living from the past and that we are now trying to put right. Stop trying let it go and allow each to be led forward in a manner appropriate to them, after all none of us can go back!  Speaking and acting with purity of intent  is a source from which happiness becomes our template of joy rather than a reenactment of old shadow and misery.

If we’ve had experiences that have physically and emotionally compromised us so that union within was impossible then we have to work with the overlays of these experience to rid ourselves of all but the essence until we regain and reconnect to our original template, in spite of injury or scars.   Only then can all move onward once again.  This past month many have had severe stomach pains, old scars on the body may have inflamed for no apparent reason.  We may have had feelings of light headedness or sickness etc.  Why?  We may have been immature, naive, or not have had the knowledge to know what was happening.  Perhaps we were, or are to scared to entertain feelings that we think may further compromise us.  If we are so stubborn we will settle for nothing less than our limited viewpoint we’ll never recover.   We may have to think outside of the box as we ask ourselves what is my belief and my passion now? How can I contribute to life to improve things for myself and for others as well.   Are we excited about what is to come even if we don’t know what that is as yet,  or are we wallowing in the grief that the past may have presented us with. The past is gone and the future is yet to come.  Right now we can enjoy simple things in spite of the intense pressure that surrounds us.  Remember we forge the next moment with our attitude to the present one, only then can we meet our destiny.  ‘Stuff’ that has happened earlier in our lives or in the lives of ancestors  lodges in our memory for as long as we let it.  When we open both external and internal ‘doors’ and let the light in miracles happen.
