Expanded Awareness and Awakening

What I see happening from a spiritual standpoint in 2011

Beginning with myself I see a deepening, a growing and a greater awareness of my true nature. And if I see that happening in my life, I see that happening in humanity as well. As the planet earth is coming back to its right axis, so are we also urged to come to our right alignment with the natural forces and energies of the divine as they are moving in our beautiful planet.

It is true that there are many trials and tribulations in the world at this point in time. Sometimes we tend to think that we are at the brink of extinction and destruction of our environment but to me these things are causing people to come back to themselves, to inquire within about what is eternal and can not be damaged or destroyed. As natural disasters and violence seem to escalate, there is also a greater awakening and a higher consciousness of the vital importance of what we offer in our worlds and of what really matters in life.

I have great faith in the power of love that has always been present but now more people are becoming aware of it. There are individuals and groups of people all over the world doing their inner work so that their capacities are a true revelation of who they are. These people are beacons of light wherever they are and wherever they go. It is not only a small bunch of people, it is a great mass of humanity inspiring and offering a healthy, peaceful and creative way to live and to care for our planet and the well-being of future generations.

It is a great privilege to be alive at this time and to be a greater contribution towards the awakening and liberation of all humankind.

The Time For God’s Will on Earth is Now

What I see happening from a spiritual standpoint in 2011

For Myself:
I see an even deeper letting go to “Thy Will not mine be done”. My deepest wants are slowly giving way to this Truth. There are factors in my life at the moment that insist that this be so. This is not a matter of “If I do this maybe God will change His/Her Mind about this”! Rather it is a complete willingness to yield control to the Inner/Cosmic Reality. I do not see this as a quickly finished process. There is a deep well of Love in me. The world around me needs to feel, hear, and know this more fully, more passionately.

In General:
I feel that this is the time of “Time Being Shortened”. There is only NOW in which to act from highest heaven – the will of the Father being done under the direction of the Son through the Spirit of the Holy Ghost – to paraphrase an old saying. There is an openness in the collective consciousness of mankind at this time that will allow this to penetrate more fully if those of us who can understand work in concert, playing our own parts.
I sense that there will be a need for deep compassion in this process. While I may be fierce within myself, others may not be able to hear it that way. The presence of Love and Truth must be consistent in each one of us, without judgment of appearances. How the world may look outwardly in one year’s time, I have no idea. I do sense, however, that the ‘climate’ will be very different.

Bringing Our Gifts

What I see happening from a spiritual standpoint in 2011

I see individuals being compelled to share their gifts with the larger world. There may be many compulsions at play and pressing for form. A lot of potential is present for chaotic happenings, confusion and heartache. Those attuned to the spiritual plane bring their gift with discipline and love, regardless. It will be received. It will be so authentic as to be compelling to a larger body of response. The Divine presence on earth will intensify. Sweet heaven or awful hell – those will be the ultimate choices. They always have been. A period of Grace will flower in the midst of this. We can model and teach being in the eye of the storm. The beginnings of new solutions will start to reveal themselves. Optimism and care for a new way and new possibilities will emerge. Distinctions will be made between Truth and lies. The Light will shine and reveal what it will reveal.

Armageddon or Nirvana: The Choice is Ours

What I see happening from a spiritual standpoint in 2011

With 2011 barely underway it is apparent that the energetic intensity that has been building over the last several years continues to accelerate. The news stations broadcast daily reports of financial pressures, environmental deterioration, vitriolic political volleys, extreme weather patterns, drug cartel atrocities, ongoing foreign wars, terrorist attacks, and devastating public violence by mentally unbalanced individuals.

From an earthbound perspective the current state of world affairs bodes an increasing and impending variety of megalithic disasters. On the other hand, from a spiritual perspective, the increased pressure on humanity’s fragile status quo could provide the necessary heat to catalyze an unprecedented shift into a new paradigm of relationship with Life’s noble and sacred nature. Such a shift would change man’s relationship to his fellows and to all of earth’s kingdoms to a life giving and heart fulfilling synergy.

Once it is recognized that man cannot control the forces of nature, no matter how advanced he has developed the ability to predict weather patterns; once he sees that security cannot be found in national, cultural, geographical, political, financial, military, religious, medical or virtually any other man- made technology, he may reach a point of a great enough humility to open his heart and mind to an invisible source beyond his self-created and self-serving imaginings.

In 2011, the very elements that have engendered a growing sense of fear and helplessness in people around the world may become the very channels that cause them to hear, and heed, the healing voice of their own inner Being. In receiving the wisdom of this inner voice, clear direction, understanding and creative genius may be known and followed in trust.

As this is so, 2011 can be the portal to a new world of peace, love, balance and beauty. This reality awaits the world in the essences of humanity’s own true character. It needs only to be expressed through enough people to reach the necessary threshold to influence and activate the whole human race.

There are many who are currently awakening to the reality of their own sacred nature. There are many who already offer selfless and generous service to their fellows in myriad ways, in all cultures and fields of endeavor. As we each model this character in our own lives the potency of our shared spirit increases exponentially. As we recognize, praise and encourage it wherever it may be seen; as we cherish, bless and steward with love and wisdom all that is given to our care, we share in the creation of the new world that is rising . The magnetic force of Life itself is drawing together those who share this vision and spirit. For those with eyes to see, this is indeed happening in 2011.
