Sunlight in the Domain Conservatory

Have you noticed how the days seem to be passing more quickly, with more to do than you have time for?

There is a good deal of comment amongst spiritual workers at present concerning this accelerated rate of light and energy now operating. Even those who are not aware of operating intuitionaly notice how their pace of activity has increased. These observations have a basis in actuality. Our world really is changing.

For many of us this activity brings an emotional roller coaster too. Spikes of pain in relationship are just one manifestation of our increasing receptivity. We seem to be swept from one issue to the next and perceive ourselves as too pressured to stop and process the sweeping changes. Life seems full of dramas.

The activity seems to centre around relationships because the energy which powers it all is Light. Consider the words Love, Light and Energy as synonyms. Love is the energetic force that lies back of All That Is. What is called love in modern parlance is a sentiment- an emotional activity which veils this potent fiery force.

This increased rates is causing distress to some of us because it is bringing to our conscious awareness all that limits, all that hinders growth.

While this is going on in our personal lives it is also happening to lives of every kind. The planet Herself is healing and growing in great cathartic waves, bringing dramatic natural events such as earthquakes and great storms. These events have always occurred, but their increased prevalence is now notes and remarked on by the scientific community.

There is in fact plenty of time. There is plenty of all we require, but the rate is now such that the laws which order our universe operate swiftly and far more efficiently than was the case for previous generations.

It is possible to adjust rather than let ourselves be swept along by this shift. It is also possible to harness this Love-Wisdom to effect positive growth in our lives.

The first step to managing this change is to stop, be still for a moment and recognise that it is not Personal. This activity that seems to undermine our home ground is a process. It is universal and general. It triggers group activity and group pain, even though it feels like the most personal thing in the world.

From that place of stillness ask yourself: What is this activity pointing to? What is it showing me I could usefully release from my life? Look for synchronicity – coincidences are often clues. Observe yourself and your activity as dispassionately as you can. Is there a pattern emerging?

Recognise that personality is colouring our perceptions. Not only is it not personal, we are really reacting to a shifting astral field which is essentially illusory. By watching to see when pain is pushing us to create drama we can nip it in the bud. Humour works best. It sounds trite but looking for the funny side in your situation really does help. It will be there, because that is our essential soul nature – light, loving and joyous.

Energy follows thought and there lies the opportunity to make the most of this increased rate. If we focus on what we want to see more of in our life, with gratitude for the signs of it already present, we can attract more that energetic substance we desire. This works as well with a quality as it does with a form. So, focusing on our competence, for example, attracts to us more of the same.

This awareness can be used in a general way too. By deliberately placing our attention on what is right in our world we grow more good things, rather than the trouble which is its polar opposite. In relationships then, we can notice what is working, what is loving between us rather than the “issues” as we perceive them to be.

Go Lightly friend. In this moment where you are All is Well.

Lighten Up for Spring

Now that the Spring Equinox has passed the natural world swings into a new gear. Here is an opportunity for us all to lift with it. 

We have just returned from a long weekend in Northland where the new season is well underway. It is a place of astonishing natural beauty. It is not hard to appreciate the good things when your lover shares them with you- the warm sunshine, good food and magnificent scenery. I wish everyone could experience such light, such love. 

Universal law operates on every plane of existence. Nothing in life is static – everything moves, shifts or vibrates if you like. Like is attracted to like, under the same law.

So if you desire better experiences, a higher rate of being or a greater connection to spirit you must raise your rate.

By choosing to focus on the good you attract more good things into your life. 

Love what you have, in the place where you are and more good can come to you then.

Spring is the perfect time to make this shift. You will be in harmony with the planetary life in which you live and move and have your being.

The tendency of nature is to positive activity, so you are really choosing to work with your intrinsic nature rather than against it.

Positive thoughts vibrate faster than negative ones. Everything in life works this way.

As a musical note raises in pitch the string vibrates at a faster rate. Colour changes in the same way. So you can control your thoughts and experiences as a musician controls a musical instrument.

 Do you see? By choosing to see the good around you and to consciously think in a positive way you lift your vibrational rate. At the same time you positively affect those around you.

Being conscious of your energetic alignment and choosing to lighten up helps you to lift up out of the swinging pendulum between opposites which is so characteristic of the duality of life.

When you are unaware of your ability to lighten your life then the slow energy of negative people and environments will find you. Like attracts like.

In unhealthy company it is easy to be “dragged down” to sluggish physical energy and depressed emotions. This brings unhappy experience along with it, affirming a negative outlook on life.

What kind of life would you prefer?
