Who Will We Be in our New Reality?

All thinking, communication, and actions have a purpose.  With our free will, we can choose if the purpose of our self-expression is helpful and life confirming or destructive and life-limiting.  In order to know and do this, we need to be keenly aware of where our attention is focused and what our intentions are. And that expression relies on what state of being we are in which we have established. At that point, it is imperative to determine what it is you want as your communication to create.

The wrong thinking begins with not knowing in what state you are established. A reactionary state is usually established in fear, anger, hatred, resentment, revenge, or controlling thoughts.  Those negative states (except in the case of righteous anger) are not good states from which to get your message across unless you want to amplify those states of being in the field.  Negative emotional states are like cancer and spread within and without when spewed out, creating more fear, anger, hatred, resentment, revenge, blame and shame-controlling thoughts and actions. The consequences of negativity are devastating to the original cause, the recipient, and to the world in general and lead to severe depression, greater fear, and hopelessness.

Right thinking is rooted within us with the use of discernment, awareness and clear conscious intentions. It is established in the emotional states of love, compassion, contentment, and harmony with a heartfelt desire for connection and positive outcomes. In other words, our state of being and presence is our message. This is true whether you are aware of your state of being or not. Have you ever said, "I didn't mean to say that!" or "That isn't what I meant," or even, "I wish I hadn't said that."  Here's how to avoid miscommunication and cultivate sacred communication.

I know one thing for sure: 2020 has no time for negativity— 24/7/366. The world now must focus on positive solutions to problems never even imagined and we have never experienced before.  This is not a time for hate and blame or despair (which never had a “right” time...), especially now that we are one world under siege, and especially with the abundance of misinformation and the dire lack of complete information about what is really happening. We must be part of the solution, not the problem, on every level—personally, in our family, community, society and as world inhabitants. Perhaps this feels overwhelming, but our very existence and consciousness are demanding this now. Be the solution in this new reality created by this tsunami of threats; create the tsunami of solutions through the right thinking, compassion, and right use of will/actions.  This all comes from a felt sense that is trusted and acted upon consistently, in love and compassion.

Love and Sat Nam,

The Space Between Us                                                                                                                                   

The space between us is sacred

And is of no size or time

It is not an obstacle but a fertile ground 

With the promise of transformation and freedom

It is not empty but full and rich with vibrating, dynamic potential

In that space is the bright flame of healing warning that it could flicker

Without the fuel of honesty

It is the delightful space of memory and reunion

Nothing can destroy it

And it allows our oneness to flourish

As we guard, trust, preserve and nurture it

Allowing only love and compassion there…

Continually, in all ways.
