The Opportunities in Change

“Perhaps the most important thing we bring to another person is the silence in us. Not the sort of silence that is filled with unspoken criticism or hard withdrawal. The sort of silence that is a place of refuge, of rest, of acceptance of someone as they are. We are all hungry for this other silence. It is hard to find. In its presence we can remember something beyond the moment, a strength on which to build a life. Silence is a place of great power and healing.” - Rachel Naomi Remen

 

Many people in the world today seem to be going through a period of change. A lot of people have some extreme emotional and spiritual challenges manifest for them at this particular period. It seems to be going on everywhere.
There seems to be a lot of interference or static in the field. It seems like time is speeding up and slowing down. Sometimes it is even felt as if reality itself has the consistence of molasses or jello. I don’t really know if you can understand what  I mean by that statement. It’s almost as if reality itself feels thicker than normal. Energetically and physically it feels tangible, it feels sticky. I don’t quite know how else to explain it.

I’ve seen a lot of people go through trials and tribulations in their life. If you have old habits, or you have old emotional trauma that you’ve buried, or old stuff in your psyche you haven’t dealt with, you’re going to find these things are going to be resurfacing and manifesting at the moment. What is happening is you are getting an opportunity to rid yourself of all this old baggage you may not have dealt with in the past. Everybody is getting opportunities to recognize this within themselves and to deal with all of this stuff. Because you probably have more information now, and you understand reality a little bit better now. And so if these things do manifest in your life you are able to deal with them better and that’s why they’re coming out to give you the opportunity to do so.

Because all this old stuff needs to be cleared as we are coming into this portal, if you will, this energetic change that is happening to the earth, all of this old stuff needs to be dealt with. Dealing with it will help you stand in you power, because this is essentially how humanity is waking up. We are waking up to the fact that, hang on, all of this has been fiction, all of this has been a dream. We are starting to realize who and what we are.

It is almost as if humanity is finally coming out of its adolescence and is becoming an adult. There’s a lot of old stuff that hasn’t been dealt with resurfacing. So, if this is happening to you at the moment, then understand this is an opportunity to look at these situations from a different perspective. And to see how you can go on maintaining your energy through these trials and tribulations.

I am not basing this on any type of religious teachings or any astrological readings, this is simply my perspective, this is simply what I’m reading in the field, and that is the perspective that I am offering you.

It really does seem to be ubiquitous throughout society at the moment, there seems to be a massive amount change happening everywhere. Not all bad change. It isn’t all stuff that hasn’t been dealt with in the past. There are many people who have probably dealt with that stuff and who are experiencing some very good changes in their life. It is definitely a period of change.

Anything that needs to be cleared is resurfacing so that it can be cleared and in other ways everything is just sort of balancing out, because things need to be in balance in this transitionary period.

I think we’ll see a lot of people searching for soul mates and seeking the companionship they’ve always wanted in this period as well. Humanity is starting to feel the bond that it holds with itself. In as much as people are starting to feel that they are connected to other people, and they are starting to seek out who they are closest to, the ones they have resonated with. It is not always a conscious choice they make, I think they just know they are searching for something, and then they find a person and they go, “hey, where did you come from?” We are naturally being drawn towards those people that we need to find. And even those that are finding themselves in solitude, perhaps the person that they need to know and the person they need to find and connect with is the real self, that lies within.

Ultimately it is all opportunity and ultimately it is all of the experience that you need to gain the experience that is you. What’s important is how do you deal with these experiences. What’s important is that you understand who and what  you are and that you be yourself to your fullest potential.

It isn’t about stuff, it isn’t about acquisition, it isn’t about social acquisition or acquisition of higher rungs on the corporate ladder. It isn’t about the acquisition of possessions, or friends, or girlfriends, or boyfriends. It’s about knowing who you are. It’s about the acquisition of experience in a life and experiencing yourself and understanding the connections that you have with others. Understanding how life can simply change. It’s time for you to start knowing yourself, believing in yourself and being honest with yourself.

Self honesty is one of the biggest things that seems to be lacking in our society and it seems to be one of the things we’re trained to avoid at all costs. We often have a very distorted view of ourselves.

We consider ourselves to be alike to whichever character of whatever book we’ve been reading or whichever character from whatever movie we have watched or perhaps some fictitious character from television. We project ourselves unto these people and we have that particular image of ourselves. Then we get to a certain stage of life where we suddenly realize we are not that person, we are actually ourselves.  And we have all of the flaws and vulnerabilities that we were so quick to notice and to point out and to criticize in others. We find that what we were seeing was those traits in ourselves, and because we have this distorted vision of ourselves, based on whatever media we expose ourselves to, we failed to look at ourselves and failed to see ourselves as truly human.

We almost seem to have a larger-than-life view of ourselves when we put ourselves on the stage and stand ourselves up against other people. It’s always us who know what is going on, more than anybody else, we seem to know what is going on perfectly. And of course we do because we are the only ones who can see the world from our perspective. The trick is to realize that this is how everyone else thinks as well, and that all of our perspectives are important. And that we are all beautiful and wonderful just the way we are.

We don’t need to project false images of ourselves into our own psyche. We need to see ourselves as others see us and realize that we are part of the human family, part of the human organism. No separation. There’s no difference really between anybody. The only difference that we all hold is our perspective of reality. And that is exactly how it should be. That’s how the program gathers the information it needs in order for consciousness to evolve.

One of the things that is most difficult for the human mind to grasp during the evolution of consciousness that is occurring is the concept of freedom. As within everything we have known of civilization, there has never been any true freedom. Well, not among the masses anyway, there may be some leaders who have experienced some degree of freedom, but there has never been any true freedom for the bulk of humanity.

‘Equity’ is a word that can be used to hopefully convey some type of concept of freedom to people. In reality true freedom even goes above and beyond equity. Equity is simply a way of presenting the idea to people through their left brain, because that is where most people are. True freedom is knowing that you are a sentient being only answerable to the creator, whatever you perceive the creator to be. There’s nothing that can ever interfere with you being you. There’s nothing that can take away the experience that is you. No one can be you better than you, and it’s knowing that, and knowing you do have something to say, that you are here for a purpose, and that you are just as important, and just as worthy, and just as unique as anybody else on the planet. That’s what freedom is. And that seems to be something that we have a particularly hard time coming to terms with.

The question people need to be asking themselves is: Why would they perceive themselves to be anything but free? Why would they perceive themselves to be anything but beautiful?

And it doesn’t matter what you look like. It matters what you are. What sort of person are you? Do you walk the path of the heart? Do you live to serve creation? Whatever your physical appearance is, well, that’s what you need to experience, whether it is beauty or whether it is obesity. It doesn’t matter, what matters is what’s inside, what matters is who you are.

And why would people perceive themselves to be anything but beautiful. They are alive and life itself is beautiful. Life is a wonderful thing, it is amazing, especially when one considers the alternatives.

Perhaps you have people in your lives who others perceive to be physically more attractive and that talk down to you because they know they are more physically attractive than you are. They only do that because ultimately they are in a great deal of insecurity because they know that beauty fades. Which it does, as one gets older. You certainly cannot become dependent on your looks. There is no future in that. Of course, not all people are like that. There are stunningly beautiful people who are very uncomfortable with their looks because of the undue attention that they receive due to their looks. And again what we see here is human beings placing far too much value on physical appearance, far too much value on esthetic pleasure, rather than valuing the essence of someone. The person that is within that shell. The frequency of expression that is that person. The emotional being that is that person. They fail to realize that everything that that person experiences and everything that makes that person who they are comes from the same essence that makes you who you are. There’s no difference. The only difference is outward appearance and the personal perspective that each frequency has of reality.

When you look at insecurities you may have about yourself, insecurities you have about the global situation, about your place in society, about your place in the social hierarchy, even your basic opinion about yourself, it’s important to understand that all these insecurities without exception are based in fear. It’s always fear. The only reason we would see ourselves as not being the beautiful,  wonderful frequency of expression that we are is because of the fear we have that we are not all we perceive ourselves to be.

If we perceive ourselves to be the beautiful, amazing expressions of creation we are, then how could be possibly be in fear of not being what we perceive ourselves to be? So you see, it’s because people don’t understand that is what they are. It’s usually because what we perceive ourselves to be is based on unrealistic expectations about ourselves, and these unrealistic expectations come from the societies we live in. It’s these societies themselves, and the media, the propaganda, and the mind control that people are subject to at the hands of these societies that give people these false expectations of themselves and then work very hard to put them in fear of never living up to these expectations and of never making the grade.

You’ve got to be like this, and if you are like this then you will become famous and we’ve been taught that being famous is what it’s all about. If you’re famous then you’ll have all this attention, you’ll have all these cars, and furs, and friends that come with it. And you will go to all the right parties and you’ll wear all the right clothes, and you’ll get invited to all the right places.

But all of these things are all completely and utterly superficial and they are absolutely illusionary.

And of course they provide societies where no one can ever achieve the goals that are set for them by society. So they get to watch other people who are manufactured and paraded in front of them. So that we can see how they live. We can see how the elite live and we can aspire to emulate them, but of course we can never achieve those goals.
What we see of the elite, it isn’t real folks, they are paraded in front of us, most of these people have miserable lives, most famous people have lives full of turmoil, full of divorces, full of lost love, and they live life with slanted, disjointed and controlled view of reality.

All of it is fiction, all of it is illusion. And it’s all designed to keep you distracted from ever finding yourself. What actually matters is you, what matters is who you are within yourself. Our societies have been structured in such a way as to prevent you from ever finding your true self.

All of this fear comes from our societies, and it comes from the expectations that people have of themselves within society. Their fear of everyday life, the fear of paying the bills, their fear of not being able to pay to be alive. And the state of hardship they will be in if they fail to pay the bills. Yet, all the bills have been put there for them. This society has been created to keep people wading through an ocean of perpetual self-generating debt. And a lot of the fear that we see comes from this debt.

That’s why this debt system has been put in place, because it is great for generating that energy in people. And it’s great for keeping people in line, because people are always so caught up chasing paper that they never have time to find themselves. They never have time to chase their own perfection.

The truth of the matter is that all of these systems that are in place, are all kept in place by our failure to face the fear within ourselves, because it is the fear, the shadow within ourselves, that keeps society so divided, and it is the division that allows the systems of control, that we are subject to, to remain in place.

It is most important to face the shadow within you, and to break down that fear, and realize that you are free, and if you stand free and allow others to be free, and support them being free, and support your community and stand with your community, the whole world will change. Because it is people’s failure to face these fears to face the shadow within themselves that provides the foundation stone for the fear based reality in which humanity currently finds itself. It’s all about the inner work, it’s always been all about doing the inner work. That is the root cause of the entire problem. That’s why things are getting as negative as they are, because people haven’t been doing this inner work. So things will continue to keep getting darker and darker and darker, until people decide to face the shadow, and thereby heal the shadow. The only way they are ever going to do this is when they stand in their power and I believe the best opportunity to do this is to understand what reality is.

Once you find what the answer is, you begin to realize that there is only that one answer and so it seems pointless to be sidetracked and to go off down other rabbit holes. We can look at what’s going on around the world and we can notice the ritual and notice all this other stuff and notice how things getting worse, notice where things are getting better.
Ultimately, all we are doing when we point out all these various problems, we are pointing out the various symptoms of the one problem – the one problem is the social system itself, and the cause of the social system. And of course the cause of the social system is our individual failure to do the inner work.

So there is no real point in addressing all of the symptoms the way we do and attempting to make change in the external world, if we haven’t first made the change we need to make in the internal world, because that is where the root cause of the problem originates.

We can look at big companies that do massive amounts of environmental damage, and we can point the finger at those companies, but ultimately it isn’t the companies, it is the people within the companies who simply don’t have the connection that they need to have with others, because if they did and were acting in the service of creation, they wouldn’t be working in these companies.

And we can see that the reason these people do work in these companies is because of the attractive wages they can get by doing so. And of course the only reason these wages seem attractive to them is because people within society are kept in a state of shortage. And so large wages can be a huge bonus.

And of course people are kept in a state in shortage due to the monetary system that has been imposed upon society, and of course the monetary system is only in place due to people’s fear to stand up against the system. People have this fear of standing up against the system because they have never done the inner work. And that’s why I keep coming back to it.

Even the people that work on whaling stations. They do so because of the  attractive wages . The wages are attractive because society is kept in a stage of shortage. It all comes back to the same thing.

You keep going round in these circles, but no matter what problem is, if it is related to shortage then it is related to money supply. And if it is related to environmental damage it is usually related to people’s need to work that makes them take these jobs in the first place. And again it comes back to the money supply.

This comes back to the fact that our government allows this money supply system to stay in place, and that’s because of the system itself, that is what the system requires. And again the system is only in place because we perceive it to be real because we haven’t done the inner work and we don’t feel free within ourselves.

We don’t feel free enough to support our neighbors and support our society, we are in fear of everyone around us, and so we don’t do these things. If you trace every single problem we have to its root cause it all comes down to fear, and all this fear exists because people’s failure to do the inner work.

And that’s why I keep coming back to it because that’s really what it is all about.

And when we realize this we are going to be able to make some very significant changes, but first we have to realize it.

So that is something to think about.

 

Seeing that the key to freeing ourselves from the system, the key to saving the world, the key to everything, ultimately comes down to humanity doing the inner work, individually. As I said before we are the source of all evil we’ve ever seen on this planet, and all of this evil stems directly from our failure to do this inner work.

Seeing this and understanding the reality of this truly is key to addressing this problem and to healing this wound within our psyche. As soon as we realize this we are going to be able to make a change, but we have to realize it and we have to be prepared to face who we are and to start treating people equally, start treating others as ourselves. This is the key to it all.

It’s got to start with you, it’s got to be a personal thing, you don’t necessarily have to shout fear at people and point out 9/11 was staged, you don’t have to point out the police state is coming. All you have to do is be the change you want to see in this world is to lead by example.

Start building strong connections with people around you, to the people in your community. Perhaps explain why you are doing so. Explain to them that you believe people are equal, that all people are beautiful, that all people deserve a chance. That many people are misunderstood and that many people have a misconception of what reality is about, because of what they have been subjected to by our societies. Say you wish to help facilitate some sort of change and create a culture of giving with the people around within your local community. Explain to them that when you put yourself in state of giving, the universe tends to look after you and everything seems to work out just fine.

Explain to them that you finally worked out that the way to improve your own life is to improve the lives of others. Simply because everything is always in balance and what goes around always tends to come around. This may help people understand why you are the way you are.

When they start to ask you about things, you can explain a little bit to them, but give them half a glass, give them a little information, and that will inspire to research for themselves. They might come back and ask you for a little bit more or perhaps they will come back to you with information that you already know based on the little bit that you told. This is good because this is how real awakening occurs within people. It’s when they discover it for themselves.

If you can be a beacon of light by simply being who and what you are. By knowing the power you have, by living in a state of giving to others, and leading by example, you can inspire others to emulate the light you are projecting. And they too will become giving people, they too will start to research the things you mention to them sometimes because they wish to know how you got to the state of giving and enlightenment and contentment that you are in. So you’ve got to lead by example.

Many people know they should be the change, many people know that the light they feel within should also be projected out into the world in which they live. They know that the best way to improve their own lives is to improve the lives of others, and yet they never change, they fail to live to their beliefs.

If you live to your beliefs, if you really embody these understandings into your reality, you can literally change reality for yourself and by changing your own personal reality then you can also help change the reality of others and more importantly you can inspire others to do the same.

There are a great many people who are speaking out against the system, but how many of them are being the change they need to be in order to escape the system?

If they are simply going to speak out against the system but don’t have any alternative in place – and the only workable alternative is to build a community around them – then what are they going to do if their dreams come true and the system does fall down in a pile of rubble. All that will happen is that there will be a power vacuum, and one country will be taken over by another. Even if it would happen on a global scale, then it simply would be a matter of one ruling elite that will be replaced by another and that will soon make its presence felt. 

You see until people have done the inner work, and begun to realize we are all created perfectly equal, and understand the meaning of self-governance, begin to use higher faculties again, and begin to communicate with the reality around them again in the correct manner and view each other as beautiful, wonderful expressions of creation, then any alternate plan that we have is doomed to failure.

And I know it is a big step expecting humanity to gain this type of comprehension of each other and this type of communication with reality again in any foreseeable future, but it has to start somewhere: The place for it to begin is grass roots. The place for it to begin is community. The place for it to begin is with you!

“Be the change you want to see.”

I’m not saying that you need to stand by and allow a police state to be built around you, what I’m saying is if you do the inner work and you do establish these bonds with the community around you, then the police state will not happen because we will all stand in our power and won’t allow it to happen. It’s a matter of simple non-compliance. Even those who work within the law enforcement agencies won’t allow it to happen because we will have a connection established with these people.

If you really want to concentrate your efforts on something that is going to free society from the corporate shackles we are facing, then work to have the interest removed from money. Because most of the problems that we face on the planet again come back to people being in a state of shortage, and this shortage is perpetuated simply due to the interest that is placed on money. So address that problem and that will free humanity from the mental shackles of the system of perpetual debt. And I am sure that anything will be possible from that point on. That is such an important thing. It is in my opinion the main problem we need to focus on as a society.

And again the only way to really address this monetary system is to do the inner work, to face the fear within ourselves that prevents us from doing so. And of course the best way to do it, is to do it en masse, which means building community, which means we need to connect with our neighbors. And of course the only thing that prevents from doing that is again our failure to do the inner work, and the illusion of division that we have in regard to ourselves, and reality, and people around us.

When you look at things from this perspective it suddenly becomes clear why all of those sages, and seers and teachers from times long past said that in order to change the external world, you need to change the internal world. Many people looked at that and said what a ridiculous statement. How can I, doing the work within, actually change the world that I see outside of myself? That’s how it works, it’s just that no one has ever been prepared to be the change.

People have an unrealistic perception of reality. People tend to only think of things from a very left brain perspective – and that has been one of the biggest obstacles to people ever understanding the real truth that is contained in the philosophy of changing the inner world in order to change the outer world.

When you really begin to understand things then it becomes clear that that really is the only way any change will come about: It’s truly all about doing the inner work.

There have been so many people throughout history, so many great teachers, even in the modern day there have been so many great teachers, who have discussed the nature of fear with people. Who have talked about doing the shadow work to people. And who have helped human kind truly comprehend the true nature of the reality in which we live. But unfortunately many people go to these seminars, they read these books, they listen to the information that is offered to them and when seminar is over, when book is finished, or when the experience is done, they slip straight back into the matrix.

They fail to embody the information that has been made available to them.

So many people go to these workshops and seminars, and they believe by doing so they will simply be healed, they will be improved and they will be healed. But they fail to take away the real message and that is to embody the information they receive.

You see it isn’t enough to have the information, you need to live the information, you need to apply the information to the experience that you are having. It’s one thing to go and receive the information from a teacher, or via seminar, but if you don’t apply to the physical reality in which you live then what’s the point of having the information?

If you just receive the information and you go ‘well that’s interesting’ and file it, and catalogue it and put it up in the dusty bookshelves in your memories of seminars you once had, than it didn’t really do anything at all. Then even going to the seminar would seem to be on a practical level a pointless exercise.

I mean, you may have had access to a good deal of very valuable information, you may have had access to some very workable and functional healing procedures, spiritually, psychically, whatever, but unless you apply them to your life, and unless change your perspective of reality from that point on, to incorporate these teachings within your reality, then what’s the point?

And ultimately, folks, the simplicity of following the one law of creation which is service to the creation for the creator, and the ability of the human race by following this one law to virtually change reality overnight is simply staggering. It’s staggering in its simplicity and that seems to be why so many people can’t see it. And yet, following that one law provides everything reality needs to heal, it provides everything humanity needs to effect real and positive change, and it provides the solution to every single problem we have ever faced or will ever face.

And I believe that people know this. I belief that everybody if they really, truly, look within themselves, they will see the truth of following this one law. And they will see the beautiful simplicity of the whole thing and how everything would function in a state of balance if humanity was to simply follow this one law.

That’s why I keep getting back to it. That’s why I have persevered in bringing this message. I know I am simply a small voice in a sea of voices, I do live in the hope that more people will listen, and truly will look within themselves to discover the beautiful simplicity of this information. But I suppose I should be careful not to get too nostalgic about it all.

People are waking up – I see a massive amount of change in people’s demeanor all around me. Like I said a lot of people are going through a particularly interesting periods of change in their lives. There is change everywhere. Reality is doing some very, very strange things, as I said time seems to be speeding up and slowing down. You are going to find a lot things are going to come and land in your face. Things that you may not have dealt with in the past, and they are going make you aware of their continued existence in your life and in your psyche, and they are going to provide with opportunities to fix these problems, or at least face these problems and acknowledge these problems. And in doing so to face and to acknowledge things about yourself. Some of these things may be a little uncomfortable for you to face, but it is important that you do so because it is by doing so that you will find balance.

We all very much need to reestablish this balance. It is this imbalance within us individually it is very greatly contributing to the imbalanced state in which we find ourselves, that is probably stating the obvious, perhaps it is too obvious for some people to see without it being pointed out to them.

Look out for these things in your life, especially in the next few months, try to see them as the opportunities they are, try to understand that you need to face these situations, you need to face these imbalances.

The opportunity is to face them from the correct energetic state.

The best way to do that is to understand what reality is, to understand that you are simply an expression of creation, and that everything that is happening to you is an opportunity for you to clear these things from your psyche, to clear these things from your frequency, to find that state of harmony that you have with all creation, the state of harmony that most of the human race appears to have lost. It’s the state of harmony that we are kept from ever achieving by the simple structure of our societies, the simple structure of the artificial meme that enslaves the human consciousness.

It truly is a meme, this whole social system, the whole legal hierarchical rubbish that we’re all subject to. None of that has anything to do with humanity, it’s all just an idea, it’s all just meme. It’s all just this fictional concept that prevents us from being who and what we are and prevents us from ever connecting with each other and reconnecting with the earth on which we live. It is very important that we become aware of this, and it’s very important that we deal with it in the right way.

It will make a huge difference for the personal growth of the individual if they find balance and they address the problems that they are confronted with from a balanced perspective and embrace the opportunities for personal growth that these problems are providing for them.

I am not really sure what I have been trying to say to you. I think what I am attempting to do is to help you see how easy it actually is to deal with change in your life. To help you see that most of the things that we are uncomfortable about in our existence, most of the changes we get thrown into,  are all necessary, are all opportunities and if we feel uncomfortable in these situations it’s usually because we have misconceptions of our reality.

And we’re going to find especially through this period, reality is going to throw lots of change our way, very often these changes are opportunities for us to discover our own personal power and to stand in who or what we are. And very often these are changes we need to have in order to discover ourselves. And that’s okay, because something that I always understood through life, and always said many times to many other people, is that one of the only things in life that is ever truly guaranteed to remain consistent is change. Life is constant change. And this is because without change there can be no growth.

So, it’s not the change that is the problem, it’s our failure to recognize that change is the only thing in life that is consistent, and it’s our failure to deal with that which is consistent and that which is inevitable, which is what change is. Everything changes. Nothing is the same as what it once was. It all changes, and that’s just what life is about.
With everything I said I was simply attempting to help people become aware that reality really is shifting, we are in the process of some type of shift right now. Reality itself seems to almost feel thick, it feels denser than what it normally is. There’s a very good chance that we are going to be experiencing changes, and old wounds resurfacing, and connections being made, connections being lost, all sorts of stuff over this period. It’s extremely important that you are aware of what’s going on and that you see it all as necessary change, you face the shadows that are presented to you, and you handle the whole thing from the correct energetic state.

Don’t live in fear through any of this, there’s no point fearing anything because there truly is nothing to fear. And all one needs to do to truly comprehend the reality of that, is to understand what reality is.

Thank you for all the support.

Take care.
