A New Vision

Throughout all of time, humanity has experienced periods of light and dark. Historically, the low periods are an opportunity to examine the darkness, not just in the world, but also within us. Overcoming oppression is often a key theme played out in society during these times.

When I look at society right now, there can be (I think) no doubt that society has fallen to a new low. It appears to be acceptable for our leaders to bully us. (What right do they have?) And people in the interests of changing society use low energy tools such as shaming, blaming, guilt, and aggression to achieve their goal of forcing others to align to their viewpoint. It is just more bullying. Basically, humanity is groveling in the dirt.

We are so much better than this. It’s time to lift our eyes to the stars, and aspire to higher spiritual principles. We need to envision and work together to achieve a world of higher integrity and values. We can do this, but it’s time now to get on board and actively participate in creating a better world.

Real Life

Life is about so much more than just surviving. As of late, however, we are increasingly being conditioned to believe that is all that is important.

Personally, my concern is that the longer we drift from our hold on what really living life means, we will forget.

What does life mean to you? Do you take stock of what makes life feel fulfilling? Certainly our dreams, big and small, have taken a real beating this year. We must keep a firm grasp on those and not let them go. Our dreams are what shape our futures. And whatever anyone may tell you to the contrary, you have the right to live your dream.

Seeing Beauty

In our world and society today, it can be very easy to be blind to the wide variety and depth of beauty surrounding us. Firstly, our society tends to create tight definitions of beauty. Secondly, we are deeply distracted by our technologies.

Beauty is everywhere, and nature is a wonderful teacher for seeing it. She hones our ability to see, “seeing” being a very different thing from “looking”. When we truly see something, we enter the realm of feeling it too. Walk in nature and practice seeing. A whole world of beauty will then gradually reveal itself to you, everywhere.

"Beauty surrounds us, but ususally we need to be in a garden to know it" Rumi

Show Me the Magic

“Where is the magic?” This is a question I often asked myself while tramping along the same dirt road in Australia to get my daily exercise. I was feeling very lost, not geographically, but rather, internally. I was on a spirit quest.

There is magic, but one must be observant and intentional. The next step for me was, “Show me the magic.” When I passionately asked and intended to find the answer, it finally came. Surprise, surprise, the answer did not come by way of my cell phone or the internet. Nature showed me the way…

Out of Darkness

A beautiful soul doesn’t just happen. All of life’s trials and tribulations are seeds for soul growth, slowly shaping us into beings of greater light.

2020 has been a year of darkness, but surely, gradually, the stars are revealing themselves. Always welcome the lessons; never stop reaching for the light.
