What we need to do in these times
Isn’t that what everyone wants to know? What do we do in order to survive these complicated times. Economic Downturns, Earth Changes, Pandemics, Surely there must be some way through it all, if only we knew what to do.
There’s really nothing to do. Nothing you can do will help. There. Don’t those words of wisdom make you feel better? They don’t? Ok, then try this one on: Some great higher power will sweep you up in their arms and carry you off to a land where everything is wonderful and there are no problems ever. Like that one better? That way, the only thing there is to do is to believe harder. We can do that. It won’t work, but we can do that.
Nope, we’re in a time where we are beginning to discover what we don’t know. Usually we’re just working on what we already do know. Just remembering it again. But if we’re truly evolving, then we’re going to grow in ways we never thought we could. Some of that will be challenging. Some of it will be easy. And some people will just want to take the elevator. That’s what I call believing in being rescued. If you believe you’re going to be rescued it takes away from your ability to make choices and respond in real time. Otherwise you’d be invoking an executable program learned years ago. In other words, if you think you’re going to be rescued, you’re still a victim.
What do we do now? Ah….isn’t it challenging to stop thinking that way? OK, well here’s a step in that direction, for all the turtles out there.
The doing doesn’t come first. The ‘being” does. That is, the state of being. When you encounter someone successful, or someone wealthy (and these are each continuums in and of themselves), you want to know how they did it. And their answers usually don’t tell you anything or work for you. Because the being came first, not the doing. Search the internet and you will find hundreds of programs out there to help you get rich, lose weight, fall in love, or achieve something by buying a guide book - THEIR guidebook, for which you will have to sacrifice only a little of your gold (plus shipping and handling). What they’re not telling you is that if everyone sends them a little gold, then they will have a lotta gold. Since you only sent them a little, then they will give you a little bit of lesson. Of course, if you want more then you have to pay more.
Just pay more and they’ll tell you that one thing that you’re not doing, and then everything will be fine. Naturally, that’s why people who buy these books and cds still have them on their shelves. Still haven’t gotten that one thing straight yet. Ah, maybe after that next workshop, program, or book. Yeah, that’ll do it.
But, for just a moment, think about how we create something. We find something we like or want, get an image of it, and hold that image in our desire body until we get it or not. If we don’t get it then we have other choices to make.
But we know that the greatest energy wins. And the cosmic laws of creation – the laws of cause and effect – are always in full force and effect.
So that means we’re always getting what we asked for. Obviously, based on results, this must be true. We just don’t like to hear that, because we think we did something wrong, and that would diminish us. But most often we did no such thing, we just didn’t see the scenario for what actually occurred. More about that on another blog.
Life on Planet Earth is an art form. Always has been, especially if you want to enjoy it in all its fullness. Hey, no one ever asked Van Gogh to paint another “Starry Night.” And he wouldn’t have even if you stood on your head and held your breath until you turned blue (though that might work for some people. No one’s ever tried it with me yet so I don’t know how I would respond). He didn’t work by formula. No one ever found any paint-by –number charts on the back of his paintings. He moved forward, always. How art historians classify that is their creation, not any of the artists. They’re too busy creating. Bob Dylan once said that an artist should always be in the state of becoming. Life can be led that way, too. We’re all artists in some way or another. Don’t you think? Do you think? Ya Think? So be it.
