BEING STEADY AND CREATIVE IN THIS UNPREDICTABLE, UNKNOWN, UNSEEN AND UNCERTAIN TUMULTUOUS WORLD

Here we are…in an unexpected, unknown, unimaginable, and radically different reality that is world-wide. Our normal thought processes and ways of doing things have been challenged and altered, and with each wave of data, news, and information, the reality shifts. We are personally challenged over everyday activities and all cultures are disrupted by this world pandemic and unrest.

I am finding that the only way to navigate this endless and changing stream of energy and information is to find stability within and through remaining calm, considering all angles of the challenges, and remaining in a continuous solution based state of mind; most importantly, feeling the truth within us that directs our thoughts, beliefs, and actions and knowing (again within) whom and what we trust.

Contemplation is a wonderful type of mediation that engages the mind in constructive and creative endeavors. Literally everything is new and requires an innocent and original inventory of strategies of ways to make everything work. This requires our highest awareness, consciousness, and self-inquiry. We all have this within, but we just need to review our values, where we put our attention, and what our intention is for our lives and those we travel with through life. However, we cannot do this at the level of our thinking. We have been gifted by the circumstances, quite fortunately, the gift of having to be in the present moment—the only place where true genius and solutions are born.

Below I have created suggested descriptive acronyms for the words TRUST and TRUTH as a guide to contemplating the questions below:

• HOW DO YOU KNOW THE / YOUR TRUTH?

• HOW DO YOU KNOW WHO OR WHAT YOU TRUST?

By finding your answers to these questions through this self-inquiry, you will have your heartfelt context of certainty and experience more peace with each decision you make within that context.

Warning - This is contrary to our learned method of finding answers and can feel frustrating at first. This is also a practice of trust in the state of not knowing.

Contemplation is for positive inner dialogue and creative resolution. CREATE AND ENJOY YOUR CONNECTION WITH YOUR SOUL'S TRUTH.
