Living In Challenging Times

We live in critical times as individual, collective, national and global challenges are mounting.

Critical does not mean immediately negative.  Rather, it is a period where hidden wounds, traumas and patterns are emerging, inviting us personally, socially-culturally and mankind as a whole to reflect, recognize and change. We are being asked to not get stuck in the reaction to the form of how a disharmony manifests, but to inquire deeper into the energies that interplay so that we move beyond any participation in polarization and manifestation of a disastrous reality into the movement of truth, harmony and transformation.

The ongoing war in the Middle East is a perfect example. All involved factions embody the dysfunctional masculine. Like the feminine, the masculine is an archetypal energy a soul utilized to explore the old 3-D creation paradigm of polarity and cause and effect. Both archetypes are present in most humans.

Many thousands of years ago, when the matriarchy fell and the unity between the feminine and masculine polarized into opposites, the soul of the collective masculine was lost to the Shadow energy. This created an indescribable abyss of terror, pain and rage within the masculine and therefore within humanity. Ever since, the need to destroy beauty, delight and innocence, to eradicate personal sovereignty, to suppress and control, has been part of human history and existence.

Both men and women have participated in playing their parts and embodying the dysfunctional masculine and feminine.

This existential and core collective disharmony has emerged as part of the transition from polarity consciousness into the paradigm of unity. It is visible in politics, among nations and religions, the world of finance, the disregard for the earth, in societies, schools, families and on personal levels.

Every transformation, regardless how small or all encompassing, has to unveil the inner dissonances. No shift is possible and can liberate from the past without facing what we have tried to avoid or are repeating. Often, these discords have to physically manifest in order for an individual or a collective to experience it, because the patterns of avoidance and coping are so multi-layered and strongly imprinted, making it impossible to notice the conditionings. They repeat until the moment when the first glimmer of recognition and reflection of one’s behavior and choices ignites.

This is the beginning of change…

Transformation destabilizes the old dynamics. That in itself can be intense. Then, every moment is an invitation to move away from the stagnation of repeat. Humanity is in the middle of a huge period of instability to metamorphose  from linear consciousness into Unity-One-ness. Yet, it does not have to manifest in total destruction or any other doomsday scenario.

Every form and action is energy. If the energy changes, everything else does. The mind has only very limited control over energy. You might visualize whatever you desire but it will hardly ever materialize.

This is the time of the heart and the return to being the movement of love you are. Notice when you are reacting. Then, you call back your energy. Go deeper and deeper into your heart until you feel stillness and harmony. Dwell in the One-ness with yourself so that the wounds that cause your fear, anger and any other reaction can heal. Your reaction fuels whatever you are reacting to. Let your truth and delight reverberate through you and move you, regardless how your mind insists on preventing you to do so.

The “big picture” is assembled by innumerous small ones. When one changes, the whole has to follow.

Enjoy being the power of transformation as you are shifting out of repeating into the freedom of your heart.
