The Integral Heart and Our Evolutionary Future

by Terry Patten -

The "Integral Heart" embodies a disposition that pays attention to the core of all things—the center that also connects with—and integrates—all dimensions of reality. 

The word "heart" comes from an Anglo-Saxon root-word connoting the "very center" or "core." 

The ancient lore of yoga posited three hearts — the beating physical heart on the left, the subtle feeling heart chakra in the middle, and the conscious causal heart on the right.

The core of things can be found quite practically right here in the physical plane; it can be found through the opening of the heart in transpersonal love; and it can be found by realizing the radical consciousness at the root of existence. 

The Integral Heart explicitly emphasizes the connection of consciousness, care and embodiment. It stands in the inseparability of the intelligence of the Integral impulse with the unified, awakened feeling awareness associated with the heart and the body.

It opens up a conversation: How do we actually live the Integral Heart? —especially in this time and place.

Living the Integral Heart

We live in "interesting times." We face multiple challenges so large they transcend human history, challenges that can only be understood on an evolutionary scale. 

Such conditions require profound, inclusive, caring intelligence and commitment, not mere calculation. 

That’s what is signified by the words "Integral Heart." 

Our political, social and economic institutions seem helpless, bound by a spaghetti-tangle of tunnel-vision karmas and Catch-22 dynamics. 

We Are Each Called

Only mighty, multidimensional, whole-being intelligence, anchored in the heart, has a hope to meet the challenges of our time.

We are each called by our evolutionary emergency—by problems that cannot be solved at the level through which they were created. 

We are called to wake up, to heal ourselves, to serve others, to cooperate and to evolve human culture and society. 

We must transcend and include all that has come before us, and embody our highest heart-intelligence in our personal commitments, our intimate relationships, our careers and our contributions to the world.

It's a big task. It's a humbling, sometimes painful task and it's a joyful one. But it doesn't help to get hyped up over it, or grandiose. If we are going to survive and evolve, it will only be with our feet planted firmly on the ground. 

This means we must engage in a deep, authentic process of growth and transformation. It means we must respectfully help each other evolve. 

We must further the great adventure of human consciousness, which, with all its twists and turns, peaks and pitfalls, is the process of history itself.

A New Enlightenment

In the 17th and 18th centuries, an "enlightenment" swept over the Western world—a new level of consciousness that sought to liberate individuals and institutions from the tyranny of tradition, guided by the light of reason. 

The enlightenment brought us democracy, human rights and such notions as equality and "justice for all." But of course, it was an incomplete enlightenment. 

It left a lot of people out. It glorified rationality at the expense of other legitimate forms of consciousness. Thus, in many postmodern circles, the whole notion of any kind of “enlightenment” was discredited. But nothing was offered to take its place.

In fact, we now need an even higher level of enlightenment. A greater, more inclusive, trans-rational enlightenment. An enlightenment of both the Mind and Heart (not to mention the Body, Soul, and Spirit!).

Just as the old enlightenment was inspired by the ideas and philosophies of the great thinkers of the time, our own enlightenment must also have its own grand ideas and maps.

This is important, because if we’re going to engage the process of waking up—and helping each other and many others, to wake up (imagine a viral or grassroots enlightenment movement)—we must make use of the best distinctions, vocabulary, and maps of reality we have available. 

We must understand, transcend, and integrate our global inheritance of human wisdom and know-how—ancient, traditional, modern, and post-modern. We must be changed in our very way of being. 

We must comprehend and thus masterfully participate in a nuanced, flex-flowing, multi-dimensional world. We need Integral maps, Integral consciousness and an Integral Heart. That Heart has no way into the world except through us.

Realizing the Integral Heart

Ultimately, this site is part of a larger conversation between people who are concerned with the big issues and questions that we face not just as individuals but a species and as a nascent global society. 

How can we bring greater love and spirit into the world? 

How can we peacefully coexist coming from different cultural contexts, different religions (or non-spiritual backgrounds), different histories, different politics, different ecological sensibilities and even different levels of consciousness? 

What's next for the inhabitants of this strange little planet in a boundless sea of stars and emptiness in all directions? Contributing to our evolutionary future is a great matter. It inspires me (and many). We often fall short of what's needed. I fall short. Yet we must keep trying.

Creating the Future

by James Clair Lewis -

Causality and Gravitation:

The future is a wavefront of potentiality. It is very maleable. Nothing is entirely fixed because people are constantly making decisions. 

To understand the process, you first have to look at it from an individual standpoint and then at a collective standpoint.

The two laws which have the most to do with the Cascade are Causality and Gravitation. 

Causality 

Our actions and inactions are Causal, generating Karma. You may deal with your Karma at any point along the Cascade.  

If you deal with your Karma on the higher planes, then that Karma is dealt with and cannot manifest on the Physical plane.  

If you don't deal with your Karma on the higher planes, then the Cascade will bring it to the Physical, where it will smack you in the face... really hard. 

Gravitation 

Gravitation draws conditions into your midst that match what is going on inside your head. Turmoil inside yourself, will be reflected as turmoil around you.  

Tranquility within yourself, will be reflected as tranquility around you. When you keep a clear head, solutions to problems will make themselves known to you. If you don't keep a clear head then you will drown in muddy waters.

That is how it works on an individual basis. 

Some people have thought that by pointing out this aspect of total personal responsibility, that I blame victims for what happens to them. 

What I am actually doing is explaining certain processes so that you can stop being a victim of circumstances.

These processes work on a collective basis as well as a personal basis. 

We sort of inherit some Karma from all of the people to which we are attached and the fact is that we are all in this together. 

There is a vast network of mutual influence going on. What people believe on a mass scale, sets the pattern and the context for what comes about. 

Both action and inaction are extremely significant. Humanity might run itself off a cliff into the ocean, like over-populated lemmings OR people may decide to work together to actually establish civilization on Earth. The human race has a tremendous track record of blundering its way into and then out of, total disaster.

So you may be wondering which way it will all go. Let me point out the curve of statistical probability. 

Every possibility of how we might relate to events, will be tried by somebody. Some strategies will work out much better than others. 

Did you know that the vast majority of human beings, (as represented by the large bulge in the probability curve) are primarily interested in living their lives basicly in peace with their neighbors? 

That is an important fact that you must never forget. Thinking of people as ignorant sheep, makes it more difficult for them to behave differently.

We need some Courage here. 

We need faith in ourselves, that we can figure out solutions to problems otherwise we won't figure them out, even though they do exist. 

We need faith in other people because that empowers people to work together and implement solutions. Humanity desires life and we can make that happen. Think of this not as a choice but as a duty. Now let's get on with it.

The Arrival of the New Normal

by Kingsley Dennis -

We have entered a time which I refer to as the New Normal, and we need to understand that things are never going to be the same again. We have to get used to doing things differently – for these ‘different things’ will become our normal ways soon enough. 

This shift from older patterns and structures that once served us well, into a space where some things are no longer working for us can be unsettling and disturbing. 

Yet don’t waste time with old energy patterns that are no longer working. 

We may feel frustrated in not knowing what to do – and yet this is only just the beginning. In terms of the longer time scale we still have a long way to go, for this change is going to be many years in the making.

Things may now change faster than they have ever done before – we are living in a reality that is on the move. It is likely that many of us have already experienced this – a sense of rapidity and uncertainty unlike previous years.

There is no need for this feeling of ‘shifting ground’ to cause anxiety. Change does not mean something negative – people are only afraid of what they don’t know. 

The easy part in all of this is accepting the need for a ‘new normal’ – the more difficult part is to actively engage in change, in a way that is balanced, stable, and not strange.

Being a part of the ‘new normal’ also means normalizing ourselves: there is no more need to stand apart; that is, to use ‘difference’ as part of your personality or identity. You cannot express your full potential when imbalanced. 

The ‘new normal’ is not here to alienate oneself and others – it does not support divisive energies.

Sometimes change needs courage – courage to accept this change as the new normal.

Some people are more used to and adaptive to change than others – each person must find what is right and comfortable for them.

However, we are not starting from scratch – arriving to where we find ourselves now is also part of the change.

In fact, it is stability which is the illusion as everything is in flux. 

Life is one complete flux-engine – if we can put it that way – and the human body is equipped for constant change. When there is imbalance in the body it naturally seeks to find balance: physically, emotionally, and energetically. 

Finding New Positions, Definitions and Tools

We already instinctively know this, and how to practice it. By re-adapting to change and flux we propel ourselves forward – it is a force of momentum within our lives.

The new re-balancing is not about going back to the old – it is about finding new positions and definitions. We have to re-define for ourselves what is the new normal.

We have to learn how to operate the new tools we have and which we are expected to use. 

Religious belief and unquestioning faith were old tools, for example. Now we need to figure out what are the new tools we have and how to use them. And within this period of new learning we may also need to do some personal ‘clearing’ – to get our own personal house in order.

So let’s be clear: the new normal is consistent change – and this normal can change on a daily basis. 

Is this so difficult to accept and understand? It seems that many of the young people can work with this; it is not difficult for them to grasp the essentiality of change.

For many young people, it seems obvious that change is an essential and necessary, part of life. It is only us, entrenched in our years of conditioned stability that fear such flux and flow.

If anyone reading this is feeling a connection to this theme it is also because they sense the need for change within their own lives. They sense it is right – that there is some urge within them that is telling them that something needs to change – there is intent to know more. 

There’s no better time than now for re-engagement – to reflect upon the question of ‘what is “life” for me? – and how can I participate?’

The following are some of what I consider to be at the basis of change:

1. Release the fear conditioning
2. Re-calibrate the definitions of what is ‘normal’
3. Observe emotions and emotional responses and needs
4. Get used to change – it is the only normal there is
5. Be joyful with change and changing habits/patterns – learn to love it
6. Don’t try to get back to the old ‘normal’ – adjustment is not a return, it’s a moving forward
7. Waiting for the ‘old’ is not an option
8. Change works better when you are pro-active so activate your engagement/participation. Get involved with your own changes!
9. Trust your intuition and intuitive feelings

From Survival Mode to Creation Mode

It can be unsettling at first when trying to get used to something that is always moving!

It is like a radio station that constantly shifts its broadcast frequencies – and every day you have to re-tune your radio to find the new frequency. Yet this constant shifting is also a way for us to find meaning and significance in our lives. 

We may find that many of the shifts that we choose to activate/act on will have a direct influence upon our need to find a renewed meaning in life.

Another way to consider these changes is to view them as being part of the shift from survival mode to creation mode – creating a new way of living more suitable to how we wish to live life in creative and meaningful ways.

Conscious Participation

As we gradually (or even suddenly!) shift into the era of the new normal we may discover that we fall into one of the following categories:

• Manifestors
• Facilitators
• Nurturers

Each role is equal in importance – and yet each is different in how it relates and engages with others in life.

The new normal is going to have a strong influence upon the values of connectivity, communication, consciousness and compassion.

Our social, local and global networks will be ever more important for us. 

Whether we manifest things in life, facilitate for others or nurture others – each involves conscious participation.

That is the core of the new normal – balanced, stable, conscious participation in finding meaning for ourselves and others; and to be creative and active in pursuing a positive future for all.

Envisioning Your Highest Future

by Deborah Zeta - 

Your highest future is fully accessible as you step more fully into your field of possibilities. During this transformational time, you are free to tap into high-vibrational energies now flooding the Earth plane. The highest and best use of these energies is to build the vision for your highest future.

As you harmonize with elevated frequencies, you're able to manifest from the greatly expanded feeling states of your higher self.

Fine-tuning Your Vibrational Frequency

Your feeling states and your "vibrational frequency" determine your level of abundance - not others and not circumstances out in the world.

Those who believe the economy is responsible for any challenges they are experiencing around prosperity are perceiving "in reverse," so to speak.

You are always the source and cause of your experience of reality. 

What you manifest directly correlates with the essence of your energy. Your feeling states are barometers for your thoughts, beliefs and spiritual understandings.

If you hold negative feelings toward anyone or anything, this pulls down your feeling state and your energetic resonance. When you manifest from a low-vibrational energy, you will experience roadblocks, disappointments, illness, accidents, and overall feelings of being out of sync with the universe.

These experiences are not a "punishment", but wakeup calls to help you see that you need to examine the beliefs, intentions, motivations, visions, and identities you currently hold.

By contrast, when you step into a place of taking 100% responsibility for all your experiences, when you have accepted the power and authority of your role as a Divine and infinite being, you open to receive all the joy and blessings the universe has to offer. You know that you are holographic to all that is.

As a spark of infinity, you contain the entire energetic spectrum. 

Because you contain it all, you can choose to focus on any aspect of yourself that exists along the spectrum of human potential. In other words, you can choose to focus on any aspect of your being and energize that into your physical reality.

Opening to a New Vision for Your Future

In order to wield cosmic energy to create realities, you will need to build the vision for what you wish to create.

To move beyond what you have experienced, you will need to step into the unknown and surrender your consciousness to your higher self. Ask for clarity around visions of your highest probabilities.

Keep receiving and building the vision until you have a clear picture of what you wish to manifest. 

In this place of the unknown, you're able to merge your energies with the vision for your highest future, programming it into your DNA. As you move forward, you will receive daily guidance and assistance to bring this vision into being.

Releasing the Need for Linear Progression

In the physical world, you receive programming that says you must manifest in a linear and incremental fashion. While this understanding may be helpful in certain areas of your life, it can also be a hindrance in manifesting your highest future.

During this time, more than any other, you are able to step free of the need to progress in this way.

The greatly expanded energies accessible on the Earth plane now allow you to take great leaps and experience quantum growth. 

As you adopt new and expanded identities your energetic resonance "amps up". It is in this way that you attract people, resources, experiences, ideas, information and everything else you need to step into new ways of existing.

From this heightened state, elevated feeling states naturally flow. This allows you to align with the wealth and abundance of the universe.

Science, Spirituality and the Real World

by Gregg Braden - 

During the late 1980s, I had a front row seat to one of the most frightening times in the history of the world — the last years of the Cold War — as well as the desperate thinking about how it would be won.

I was employed at the time in the defense industry, working as a senior computer systems designer while the super powers of the United States and the former Soviet Union developed a war strategy that seemed unthinkable to any rationally minded person today.

They spent the time, energy and human resources to develop and stockpile approximately 65,000 nuclear weapons. The combined power of this global arsenal was enough to microwave the Earth, and everything on it, many times over.

The rationale for such an extreme effort stems from a way of thinking that has dominated much of the modern world for the last 300 years or so, since the beginning of the scientific era.

It’s based in the false assumptions of scientific thinking that suggest we’re somehow separate from the Earth, separate from one another and that Nature is based upon competition, conflict and a relentless struggle that favors the survival of the strongest.

Fortunately, new discoveries in the fields of genetics, biology, physics and archaeology have revealed that each of these assumptions is absolutely false.

Unfortunately, however, there is a reluctance to reflect such new discoveries in mainstream media, traditional classrooms and conventional textbooks.

In other words, we’re still teaching our young people the false assumptions of an obsolete way of thinking and we’re still trying to solve our problems based in ideas of violent competition and conflict.

While we no longer face the nuclear threat that we did in the 1980s, the thinking that made the Cold War possible is still in place.

This fact is vital to us all right now for one simple reason: 

For the first time in human history, the future of our entire species rests upon the choices of a single generation — us — and the choices are being made within a small window of time — now.

The best minds of our time are telling us that we must act quickly to avert the clear and present danger of a host of crises that are converging in a “bottleneck” of the early 21st century, including climate change, shrinking supplies of vital resources and the growing disparity between poverty and wealth. 

The key here is that the way we solve our problems is based in the way we think of ourselves and the world.

From climate change and social change, to peak oil and peak debt, clearly the thinking that led to the war and suffering of the 20th century is not the thinking that we want the delicate choices of our survival based upon!

Developing a new level of thinking is precisely what we need to do today, and the magnitude of crises that face us may prove to be the catalyst for doing just that! 

The emerging bridge between the sciences that tells us how the universe works and the spiritual traditions of our past that give such knowledge meaning in our lives, plays a vital role in the new thinking that heads off the darkest possibilities of our future.

While the crises of the moment may be the catalyst for such a shift in thinking, something even deeper is emerging.

The new shift in thinking is the gateway to human transformation. 

Because of the sheer number of people involved in the shift and the growing magnitude of the crises that are driving us to change the way we think, we are standing on the threshold of human transformation at a level unlike anything ever before known on Earth.

The spiritual traditions that I’m describing are the core principles of ancient and time-tested understandings — principles now confirmed by 20th century science that include the interconnected nature of all things, the power of the human heart to positively influence the magnetic fields of the earth and all life and the cyclic nature of life, climate, civilization and change.

The spiritual traditions of our ancestors got these principles right and embodied them at the core of their lives in their time. 

It’s the marriage of these holistic principles with the best science of today that helps us to tip the scales of life, balance and peace in our favor, in ours.

While the specifics of spiritual principles may vary from tradition to tradition, the essence of their message does not.

It’s simple, direct and states that we live in a world where everything has meaning and is meaningful to everything else. 

What happens in the oceans has meaning for the climate of the mountains. What happens in a river has meaning for the life that depends upon the river.

The choices that you and I make as we express our beliefs in our living rooms and around family dinner tables have meaning for the people in our immediate lives, as well as for those connected through the fields of the human heart coherence living halfway around the Earth.

By crossing the traditional boundaries that define the science, religion and the history of our past, we are shown the power of a larger, integrated, and holistic worldview. 

I cannot help but believe that our destiny and fate as a species are intimately entwined with our willingness to accept the Deep Wisdom of a spiritually based science.

It’s all about the way we think of ourselves, our relationship to the Earth and to one another. When the facts become clear, our choices become obvious.

A New Story to Shape Our World

How do we change the world? 

Change the story.

The greatest illusion of this world is the illusion of separation.

Human beings are a storytelling species. As much as we would like to believe that we are rational, scientific people who consider all the "facts" before acting, the truth is that our stories and the roles we play in them have a far greater impact on our behavior. 

Your family, past experience, and even your name are all part of the story of who you are (or at least who you tell yourself you are). 

We play many roles in different stories - husband, wife, co-worker, business partner, sibling, employee, boss, waiter, customer, father, mother, friend - and it is each of these roles that has a far greater impact on our behavior.

We also have another kind of story, a collective story that answers the question of who we are as a people. 

The current story of the people descends from the Newtonian, mechanistic worldview. It says that we are each separate beings - separate from each other and from Nature -interacting through market transactions to maximize economic and reproductive self-interest. 

In this story, dolphins suffocated by oil spills, starving children and ostracized homeless people does not affect us. How can it if we are truly separate from one another?

This belief that we are separate from one another is being challenged both by quantum science and our own intuition. 

We know in our hearts that the world is supposed to be much more beautiful than what has been offered to us as normal. 

As the old story of separation falls apart, a new story based on the interconnected web of life is being born.

This inviting video provides a glimpse at this new emerging story. 

As you watch it, try to feel the story through your heart and ask yourself if you are ready to believe in this story.

Calling Forth a New Reality

by Peggy Black -

The dawning of the new age. 

This new age, this new reality of consciousness is being called forth by you. You are the instrument, the conscious voice, the frequency and the vibration that is bringing about the changes. There are tremendous changes occurring. 

We realize that in saying this you look out at your world and shake your head for there are still deep levels of dysfunction happening on the planet.

There is still discord being generated, especially by your media and those who run that aspect of reality. It is the focus upon this discord that engages the collective matrix and anyone who is still engaged in their own separate polarity will anchor the discord.

This is your personal opportunity to step into your power. 

You are being called forth to anchor a different reality. You are being invited to anchor a reality in which there is harmony and well-being.

We continue to encourage each individual to realize that you personally can hold the vision, the emotional frequency of a reality that supports all life. It is this awareness within each awakened individual that is truly calling forth a world in which there is peace within the hearts and minds of the collective.

This conscious action is taking place moment to moment in your lives and activities. You become the means of stability as you continue to hold the stable vision and offer the healing of the heart frequency into your experience.

We realize that what we are inviting you to express can feel impossible considering what is being out-pictured in the world events.

This is where your mastery is being activated. This is where you claim your magnificence as a multidimensional being. 

You are not powerless. You are truly powerful beyond measure.

Step into that realization, allow yourself to just imagine, even pretend that you have these superpowers that allow you to offer the collective the opportunity to heal.

Imagine that you have the superpowers to transform any event occurring in your reality.

These superpowers are always used only for the highest and the best for all concerned.

Each time you hear or see some discord or dysfunction, immediately offer the quantum field of all possibilities a new and different scenario.

Just imagine you are a multidimensional editor of the production that is being projected on the screen of reality. Imagine you can re-write the script. Imagine that you can re-write the outcome of any event, in your personal life or in the collective.

How would you orchestrate the news broadcast if anything were possible? 

Allow yourself to expand into the realms of light and truth in which the entire broadcast would be news of outstanding new inventions that offer solutions to your environment’s well-being, or the announcement of a phenomenal new discovery in the healing of your physical form.

Allow yourself to imagine feeling and even expressing the excitement of the extraordinary unfolding news of peace taking place upon your planet.

Realize that your news broadcast invites and offers an opportunity for you to focus on a different outcome. Imagine you could shift the situation or event being reported.

By your clear focused consciousness, see and feel a different solution, call forth the vision, the intention and the healing energy of transformation. This is your opportunity to use your conscious skills and alchemical mastery to co-create a new reality.

Play with this possibility that you can call forth a more harmonious, more loving, more conscious experience.

Imagine your work situation, allow yourself to envision how you would like this to unfold, feel it, allow your vibrations to own what it is you desire. 

Imagine your relationship with your family, your loved ones, see or sense in this playful imaginary reality that they are responding to you in a loving, conscious and supportive manner.

See yourself responding in a more loving and conscious manner to those in your life.

If there is an issue of dysfunction in your past, imagine yourself traveling the time line and editing that experience. Make sure when you edit any experience that it is in the highest form of healing for all concerned. You can use sounds to shift and transform and edit this experience.

This is where it all begins, in the field of energy, the quantum field of all possibility. 

Your personal power is holding the vision, the vibration and frequency until it manifests in physical form.

You call it forth by what you are offering with your thoughts, words, beliefs and emotions.

If it feels impossible to do this from your present situation, we invite you to pretend and claim your superpowers to shift and transform any situation.

There is an intense shift taking place within the hearts and minds of all humans.

Some are resisting, some are confused, and some are celebrating this shift in consciousness. Each individual is awakening to their true connection to the collective consciousness.

Each individual is beginning to recognize and own the awareness that all is one. 

When you shift an attitude, when you shift a belief, when you release a judgment it is felt in the collective matrix.

When you envision, when you hold the awareness of compassion, love and appreciation in your heart frequency, you are adding this to the collective consciousness. You are imprinting the quantum field with your personal vibration of compassion, love and appreciation.

You are claiming your superpowers as a multidimensional starbeing. You are claiming your personal connection to the Divine Source as a true focus and anchor of transformational energy. 

You are calling forth a new reality. 

Your energy frequency and your visional vibration are joining others of like mind and heart.

Once these visions of life-sustaining energy gather in the infinite field of creation they become form, they are made manifest. 

Each time you send forth a vision, a desire that is generated from the chalice of your heart’s awareness; it goes forth and joins the vibrations and frequencies of similar entrainments.

This becomes a force of change. This becomes an energy field calling forth and anchoring a new pattern, a new paradigm.

We honor and celebrate who you are as conscious divine multidimensional starbeings. You are truly making a difference in the lives of others each time you send forth your blessings of peace, your blessings of compassion.

Each time you send forth your energy of forgiveness, you are uplifting the collective consciousness. Each time you envision a different and more life-sustaining outcome you are literally calling it forth. Do not be discouraged; hold the visions, and pretend the visions. Allow your sixth senses of knowing to emerge. 

Allow yourself to step into your superpowers of co-creating a better world.

Call forth support and assistance from the realms of Light and Love. Be the inviter of this divine presence and invite divine spirit in all its magnificence to join you in the transformation and healing of all that is before you. Know that you are loved beyond measure.

Giving Your Best

by Madisyn Taylor -

Roles of Support:

In the great symphony of life, we all have important parts to play. Each one of us is very much needed and we all have our role to play adding to the success of the whole. 

While some people are best suited to be conductors or soloists, their contributions would be diminished considerably without the individual musicians that lend their artistry to the fullness of an orchestra. 

The magical accents of the percussion section might sound random and out of place without the music they accompany. Any one member of an orchestra, doing less than their best at their particular part, can destroy the harmony of the whole piece, such is their importance.

Although we may not receive the same amount or quality of attention as another, all of our contributions are valuable and integral to the success of the whole.

When we do our tasks well, we infuse them with our unique energy, making each act a gift. 

Each of our personalities and talents are suited to different roles of support. Even leaders and star performers support others in their own way.

We can look around us at any moment to see that while we nurture some people with our work, others are supporting us with their gifts. Doing any job from this place within us allows us to do our part with humility and gratitude, while also learning lessons that move us steadily toward our goals.

When we can be fully present in every job that we do, we bring the fullness of our bodies, minds and spirits to the moment. 

Our contribution is enhanced by the infusion of our talents and abilities and when we give them willingly, they attract the right people and circumstances into our experience.

Anything we do begrudgingly limits the flow of our energy and closes us off from the good that is available to us in every situation. By giving the best in us to make the world around us better, we open ourselves to receive the best from the universe in return.

Entering the Realm of Multidimensionality

by Julie Redstone - 

The 'world of possibility' exists within each moment. 

It comes into being through our relationship with the Divine which is the strongest creative power in the universe. This creative power flows through all moments, yet is invisible to us when we are closed to it - when we view ourselves as formed and shaped by the roles we play and the past we have lived through.

On a collective level, this past has separated the physical from the spiritual and held visible evidence to be the underlying structure of reality rather than invisible grace.

Based on separation from the Divine, our collective past has created a world that predicts from the past to the future based on what has been seen and known. This view conditions our expectations and restricts our hope. It also restricts our hope for the possibilities inherent in each moment.

Today, this worldview is being challenged by the new awareness arising in many. 

This awareness is expanding perceptions beyond the visible and revealing new realities that have never been open to us before.

Beyond logic or reason, Divine life and light are bringing into being the confluence of spirit and matter.

They are closing the gap between the spiritual and the physical and making what was impossible before, possible.

Our outlook, then, if we choose to flow with the Divine in each moment, must be that something new can take place if we allow it.

We can be new, because the fixed identity of the past is now loosening its hold on us. Divine light is causing the heart to awaken, and with it a deeper truth about who we are.

We cannot be new if we are afraid of change or if we believe we are the past. These beliefs must be let go of for they close down the moment and limit the possible.

However, we are being invited to claim our Divine heritage, to join with the sacred core of who we are in a unity that has always existed, however unrecognized.

This movement into unity is the reason things can be new. For we are joining with that part of ourselves that has never left the grace of God, the love of God, the oneness of God.

We are joining with the higher aspects of our selves and entering the realm of multidimensionality.

This is the world of our higher self or soul, now able to express itself more clearly within our consciousness and within our life upon the Earth.

More than anything else, fear of the Unknown restricts the opening of the 'world of possibility'. Fear that the Unknown is not trustworthy. Fear that the Unknown will not guide us. Fear that we will not be led, or shown, or illumined in ways that will teach us how to live.

This fear is based on what has been, and also on the transition we are in. And so we are unsure of its stability and its ability to be the firm foundation for a life.

Fear diminishes and confidence increases through embracing the Unknown – through allowing it to teach us and guide us and shape our actions and decisions.

When we believe in our capacity to live a Divinely guided life, we have already begun to build the foundation for that life. We have opened the doors so that the currents of creative inspiration can enter.

Today, we live in a time of change and of awakening upon the Earth, of letting go of the past in favor of an unknown future. In this movement, the light within all things is leading us toward a life that is fluid rather than solid, undetermined rather than known, changing rather than static.

To be in this new life, we must learn to swim with the currents of change.

Today, we are being called, each and every one of us to embrace this shift and to become fluid. 

For it is the time of possibilities and the Earth itself is now moving from a state of pain and limitation into a new state of beauty and grace.
