I believe we are going through a shift in consciousness and it is up to each of us individually to change, surrender to what is, open ourselves to infinite possibilities and be totally responsible so that shift can unfold. It is up to each one of US.

It seems to me the contrasts of life right now are really right in our face, our headlines are full of them. The deaths of Michael Jackson, and Senator Edward Kennedy bring our mortality issues up, the cruelty of that kidnapped young girl now appearing, weather conditions, heat…storms, hail, and the threat of hurricanes, pollution of our planet. Hot vs. cold, dark vs. light, death vs. life, our small separate self vs. higher divine oneness, and even the more subtle things like busy vs. quiet.

The best way to remain conscious through this unfolding transformation is to refrain from assuming we know what is supposed to be happening or how it is going to turn out. –Michael Brown

Wow, what an marvelous opportunity to shift from the victim archetype to powerful! Are you up to it…I am. Many are asleep and not wanting to take responsibility for their actions, many do not even know they are asleep. What they do feel within them is a restlessness, fearfulness, depression, and anger; all the while their hearts yearning for what they think is something outside of themselves, when in truth is all inside of them. Nothing is broken, nothing needs fixing, and all we need do is Wake Up to our Divinity. We are not separate from God/Energy; we are IT, it expressing itself. The mind which is God is the same yesterday and forever. That which seems to be a new idea to us is but our discovery of what always was. Healing and so-called demonstrations are not bringing something into being, but are an awakening to that state which has always prevailed in fact.

The song is called “Praan” which is based on a poem by Rabindranath Tagore from the Nobel prize-winning book “Gitanjali”.  The poem goes like this:

“The same stream of life that runs through my veins night and day runs through the world and dances in rhythmic measures.

It is the same life that shoots in joy through the dust of the earth in numberless blades of grass and breaks into tumultuous waves of leaves and flowers.

It is the same life that is rocked in the ocean-cradle of birth and of death, in ebb and in flow.

I feel my limbs are made glorious by the touch of this world of life. And my pride is from the life-throb of ages dancing in my blood this moment.”

Instead of watching TV…watch life, it is the best entertainment of all times! You are the star actor, become the witness and watch how your life will change.

Love, laugh and choose to be the One you have always been looking for…Claim It!

My next and most recent reminder of my ‘remaking’ was just a week ago by a physical move to a new place to live. Even though it was only four houses away from where I lived before, it felt like the Universe was conspiring against me, only I know better. At first it felt like all this was forced upon me, only I know better. Somehow I had ‘called’ it forth or attracted these circumstances so that I could get quiet and revaluate my business and personal life.

It has been only ten months ago that I moved back to Austin and now here we go again. Now what’s up with that? Well, I reminded myself I did ask to move energy and that I was ready for changes, and I am committed to The Oath. I have a high desire for stability, so ok, my landlady let me know she would be taking possession of her house when my lease was up in June. I am a shaker and a mover…OMG did I say that!! Just came out of me with no thought! OK, I accept it!

While I was at home one day minding my own business my neighbor came knocking at my door to ask me if I wanted to rent her darling garden condo just four houses away. She had heard I wanted to stay in the same neighborhood. It was a reality check of my own manifestation in asking to move BEFORE June before heat would make moving more difficult. Wow! She came knocking at my door!

It really can happen that someone comes knocking at your door!!

Now from a Law of Attraction standpoint, I had done my part. Several months ago I went looking for places to live and found one; only to discover I would not be able to move until April. I was grateful to find a place I liked and just took it for what it was worth…but now was not the time, besides the place was not in this neighborhood.

With this new opportunity, which had come straight to my door, I could stay here and would have a very easy move. My new landlady knew me and offered me a financial deal to which I could not say no…nor did I want to. This awesome new place had a small yard for my dog and even though it was a bit smaller, the owner had said the magic words for the amount of rent I wanted to pay, I knew without a shadow of a doubt this was orchestrated from a higher power. It was exactly the amount I wanted to pay. I relished in gratitude and confirmation once again…it stuff DOES really work!

The move was accomplished with ease and went effortlessly, I felt so supported by friends and family and was astonished at how perfectly my things seemed to fit. I planned ahead of time for my Internet, phone and TV transfer to be perfect timing. Ten days later, I still have no service and I am in the quiet. Now that seems odd when all else went so easily, but knowing that there are NO MISTAKES, I look for the gifts. I have been in contact with the utility company on three different occasions and they keep telling me it is in the works. I have surrendered MY will and looked to the bigger picture. Here is what I have discovered, I have plenty of time to settle in and do all my organizing, I have had time to sit out on the porch with my dog and relax, I have time to catch up on all my magazines, I have had time to take a slow soothing bath, I have had time to relax on my sound table, I have had time to finish a book I was reading, I have had time to organize and revaluate my financial affairs and I have even sent in my yearly income tax [before April 15^th].

Am I missing being on the Internet, watching TV and my land line? Yes, I do miss it and yet I am grateful for the time to accomplish all that I desired. At times, I am frustrated over my service not working; and interestingly as I follow up, I am given senseless information. Yet, I have surrendered to it. Why should I waste my precious energy, aggravating myself with something over which I have no control? I know there are no mistakes, did I say I KNOW there are no mistakes? There is a part of me which loves this quiet time and relishes in it. I am reminded of the nine insights from The Celestine Prophecy:

The Insights

We are discovering again that we live in a deeply mysterious world, full of sudden coincidences and synchronistic encounters that seem destined.

As more of us awaken to this mystery, we will create a completely new worldview—redefining the universe as energetic and sacred.

We will discover that everything around us, all matter, consists of and stems from a divine energy that we are beginning to see and understand.

From this perspective, we can see that humans have always felt insecure and disconnected from this sacred source, and have tried to take energy dominating each other. This struggle is responsible for all human conflict.

The only solution is to cultivate a personal reconnection with the divine, a mystical transformation that fills us with unlimited energy and love, extends our perception of beauty, and lifts us into a Higher-Self Awareness.

In this awareness, we can release our own pattern of controlling, and discover a specific truth, a mission, we are here to share that helps evolve humanity toward this new level or reality.

In pursuit of this mission, we can discover an inner intuition that shows us where to go and what to do, and if we make only positive interpretations, brings a flow of coincidences that opens the doors for our mission to unfold.

When enough of us enter this evolutionary flow, always giving energy to the higher-self of everyone we meet, we will build a new culture when our bodies evolve to ever higher levels of energy and perception.

In this way, we participate in the long journey of evolution from the Big Bang to life’s ultimate goal: to energize our bodies, generations by generation, until we walk into a heaven we can fully see.

In Oneness, Carol

But guess what I could do while I lay there, THINK- FEEL – REMAKE! Since I firmly know NO-THING bad ever happens to me, I began to explore what this experience had to offer me in the way of gifts. Oh boy, did I ever learn a lot about ME. I looked up in Louise Hay book, You Can Heal Your Life, to find that chills was an indication of “Mental contraction, pulling away and in. Desire to retreat. Leave me alone’! and fever indicated, ‘Anger. Burning Up’ and Influenza, “Response to mass negativity and beliefs. Fear. Belief in statistics’.—interesting to say the least. Like our whole country is feeling the pains of our seemingly messy economy. Yes, I too was concerned about money! One of the first realizations to come was about self-care and the importance of nurturing oneself. I realized I had been through a lot over the past six months, The breakup of a relationship and leaving a beautiful home to start all over again, plus the physical move and a surgery. I had been unaware of how stressed I had been feeling, You might call this a spiritual bypass, Despite knowing on one level that all is in divine order, I sometimes forget my humanness and suppress my feelings—becoming like an ever-ready battery…I just keep on going. As a person who is very self-motivated and can keep very busy., it was clear to me I needed what I call the Cosmic Two-by-four –meaning I had been asking to play life on a bigger scale and wham, I had not allowed myself to stop and smell the roses. The flu shut me down and got my attention!

I had time to re-valuate and see where I was putting my energy and to see who and what I was aligning myself with in my personal and business life. I became aware of over-committing myself and the need to for changes in the way I was doing some things. I practiced setting my boundaries and letting go of self-imposed feelings with regard to what I was obligated to do/be and what I thought others expected of me. In all that sleeping, I had dreams which really helped me get in touch with repressed feelings. I was able to do Radical Forgiveness worksheets to shift my “stuck” energy. I am grateful for this time of ‘remaking’ me and allowing the Universe to attract and open ways to better take care of me and love myself. I was able to make some new choices for my business and some changes occurred naturally while I was affirming my desire to be of service to others.

‘The OATH’

‘In the face of adversity, uncertainty and conflicting sensory information, I hereby pledge to remain ever mindful of the magical, infinite, loving reality I live in. A reality that conspires tirelessly in my favor. I further recognize that living within space and time, as a Creation amongst my Creations, is the ultimate Adventure; because, thoughts become things, dreams come true, and all things remain forever possible. As a Being of Light, I hereby resolve to live, love and be happy, at all costs, no matter what, with reverence and kindness for All. So be it!”
