Hot Happy Monday Everyone,
I hope this post finds you in a pensive mood today cause the message I am about to write about has come to me now through multiple ways and I'm sure is for everybody as well. I feel it is very important on a lot of levels at this time. This is how it began: 1. my son-in-laws' newly bought VW Jetta blows its transmission requiring a whole new engine, 2. my daughter's two month old equine cell research project at the Vet School gets contaminated with a coccal bacteria from a disinfected fan destroying months of hard work requiring her to start over at ground zero, 3. at 48, I've begun a series of tests for a State job somehow progressing to the end stages, 4. watching people all over the world lose their homes and livelihoods to the environment and to the economy, and 5. my dreams of disasters on multiple levels which I''ll address later.
Something big is changing in our world and now is the time to let emotional attachments to stuff and schedules go. I'm not saying to not be responsible or appreciate the things you have, but to understand in your heart all the physical stuff can disappear in the blink of an eye and if you don't let it go like the thoughts in your head, you will have a very difficult, if not impossible road ahead adapting to the changes happening all around us and in the near future. The day Tessa's project was ruined she was obviously very upset after the hours and days it took to get it to the point it was, so we took a walk and talked about it. I tried to stress the importance it's okay to be angry for a short time, but she had to let it go and start the next day ALL OVER with a fresh mind and fresh start. We need to learn to be flexible, as our environment changes more and more everyday because if we don't change with it, it will weed us out so to speak and we need to be able to adapt. Instead of holding "stuff" near and dear to your heart, hold the feeling of your loved ones instead and find happiness to have had the privilege of that person in your life. Remember, the stuff makes life comfortable, but nature provides everything you need to live, once you learn how to see it!! It's time to reconnect ourselves back to the earth where we came from to begin with. Evolution in process
Secondly, a lot of people I know live day to day, by set schedules, i.e: wake up at 6, coffee at 6:15, leave for work at 7, break at 930 and on and on which is how most of society operates today. The problem is, schedules have created a society of drones, terrified to think outside of the box, with very little flexibility. That has got to change to adapt to the coming days. Try to change your schedule a little bit everyday and force yourself to contemplate subjects you're terrified to think about or topics you know nothing about. Go out and do something scary, but fun and exhilarating at the same time, like I did sliding down Hahn's Peak. Break out of the structured safe world you live in and be ready to start life all over if that scenario occurs in your life and let go inside to a Higher Power. In other words, truly have faith. Not just say you do, or "think" you do because you go to church, temple, whatever, but truly show you do, by letting go inside and being able to face any obstacle that appears in your life and take control of your life by learning about the natural world around you and embracing it. Empowering yourself with the knowledge that if something happened to your hard earned, safe home you'd be okay and would march on. Learn how the aborigine cultures lived all around the world and try putting some of their knowledge into practice. You'll be utterly amazed at how truly strong and smart they really were to have survived the brutal winters without modern day houses or without grocery stores and to have sustained for thousands and thousands of years. Go out and learn to free your minds and open your souls to the forces surrounding you. Namaste
P.S. HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM!!!! YOU'RE ONLY GETTING WISER EVERY DAY.
