If you are reading this your are tuned into the spin of the upward spiral towards massive change. Not to worry. Let go of forcing any issue or solution. Accept the twists and turns as a pathway toward centerpoint. Stretch outward and upward towards the divine in all.
Gridlock is a prevalent pattern in almost every context of life. Maybe it’s the heat, but I suspect it is merely that we are used to putting our focus on small snapshots of isolated parts of larger problems, and wonder why little gets solved. We stay stuck in a repeating pattern and run like rats on a wheel oblivious we are turning the wheel with our every thought.
We are conditioned to focus on events as if they were the whole truth. Media plays out the short-term events and we get fixated.
In our complex world, the important thing to pay attention to are the slow, gradual processes that are eating away the very stability we long for. The erosion of our educational system and environmental decay are examples of processes that happen over long periods of time.
Remedy is to set up ‘slow down’ periods where we can observe the subtle as well as the dramatic.
It is simply not prudent to continue to operate from isolated perspectives. The parts are connected to the whole just as our own cardiovascular and neuromuscular systems are part of our body. If we come from the thought pattern, “we are all part of the whole of humanity” then deep down inside we know that cutting off any part of the whole will hurt. I am choosing the hopeful thought that I can carefully, thoughtfully and with intent for no harm, make decisions about how to live my life with others in community and with the health of our planet as an underlying intent.
There is a call to each of us living in these magnified, exorbitant cultures from extreme poverty on one end to extravagant wealth on the other end of the continuum. Hatred and loathing on one end to acceptance and truth along the continuum. The call is to be open to expanding our skills so that collectively we can create more of what we want!
It is time that we each develop a tolerance to sit in the fire of group conflict and be fully responsible for the outcomes we co-create. If there is diversity in your family system, you are being called. If there is difference and tension within your community about any subject, such as water rights, then you are being called.
My question today, “are you ready to respond with open mind and heart to listen?”

I sit in many places within my community on several boards and committees. I’ve been observing how people fan the flames, not admitting diversity exists. This keeps the duality alive rather than moving to shared solutions.
It is only when all/most/majority of members of a community grown in awareness of power in themselves and OTHERS can real change occur. What is the gift that the one person you can’t tolerate offers that you don’t? What is the gift that you bring and how is it exhibited?
The process of growing in awareness expects that conflict will be our teacher!
It takes an open heart/open mind to be able to sit in the fire and not be burned.

There are skills that allow us to sit in the fire and not be burned.

Can you co-create forums that allow diverse voices and beliefs to be heard?
What forms your frame of reference for how life works? What do you use as your foundation for going through your day to day experiences?
Join the conversation as we see how our frame of reference and our attachment to it makes a difference in how me experience these changing times.
When you learn something new or when new ideas or information comes to light or when astonishing disclosures show up, how do you process the information? How do you and your frame of reference… incorporate the new info?
We are evolving into a different state of being. The chaotic times are shaking us up, breaking down and shattering the illusory nature of life as we have been living it for eons. What we thought was real; what we thought was the history of things and the timeline of things is being corrected as the old lies crack and the truth emerges.
People are finding their voice, losing their fear, speaking from their heart space of new understanding. We are discovering there is energy and an amplifying of love in people power.
People coming together in freedom, connection, and unity. People’s heart center is opening. The opening is streaming light into the illusion and the nightmare we have lived in for far too long. Each one of us brings our unique resonance to the whole new picture of life we are co-creating. Imagine unfolding a bed with many covers and fabrics. We are unfolding multi-dimensionally into a higher frequency of light and love.
The remote is in your hands and you can change the channel on FEAR. We are programmed to let fear hook us in and our minds have been trained that once a fear thought or image comes up we keep dovetailing new fearful thoughts together so the fear grows. Unfortunately, we as a species have gotten so good at buying into what the dark has been feeding us for so long we don’t even realize what we are doing. Its all Changing NOW. The light is pouring in. There is a new way of looking, thinking, feeling, acting and being. Light is flooding into us. Many people are changing the channel on FEAR. Some have picked up the remote and changed the channel.The time has come to make a choice about where you place your attention and what you choose to let into your life. Where is your focus?
We have been living in times of a great imbalance of power: the great opposition between war and god. Centuries of warring over religion have embedded patterns within our very brains.
Hemorraging our personal power has taken it’s toll, and NOW the ratio between external and internal power is turning inside out. “Startle and scare” tactics that cause doubt and fear are being replaced with clarity and truth.
What is your current ratio of owning your internal truths?
Crazy stuff is going on around the planet. People standing up and shouting out for what they want! Many are facing the illusions they have hidden behind far too long. More and more of us understand that it is time for a change.
Spiritual madness is rampant. That’s a good thing because we have to break out of our worn out habits. It’s ok to feel a little ‘out of it’ so you can come out on the side of the inner reality of peace, self-acceptance, and the wisdom of who you are as a spiritual being.
