Moving into a New Age

As we move further into the 21st Century and the 3rd decade begins, we inhabit a world of ever-increasing rapid change. The cycles are moving faster than before and we are being asked to leave behind systems that will not serve us in the future.

Some personalities embrace the change and move forward accepting new technologies with enthusiasm. Others resist and try to slow the inevitable wheel of progress. It is not always easy to see the benefits of change when the way things have been seemed to work.

Some hidden force is driving the experience forward. The planet earth rotates daily without our permission, we travel in orbit around our Sun without even thinking about it. Our Solar System led by the Sun moves through space at a reported speed of 20,000 km per second towards an unknown destination.

We are participating in all of this without giving it much, if any, thought at all. Distracted by the dramas of the mundane, we give little consideration to the macrocosm we are involved in. Where are we headed? What are we progressing towards? Who is driving the bus?

The experience of this cosmic dance is towards enlightenment and it can be an exhilarating one. Ruphert Sheldrake contributed the idea that we are involved in the Morphic Resonance Field. Each thought and action influence the field of potential and slightly alters the direction of the collective future experience. Consider it a privilege to be on this bus, to share the ride with other unsuspecting souls. We never really know who sits beside us, or how long they will accompany us on the journey towards who knows where. We are not even sure from one day to the next when it will be our turn to stand from our seat and depart the bus.

To embrace the journey with curiosity and kindness will make the ride more pleasant for ourselves and the other passengers. Have faith rather than fear about our destination and trust the invisible driver to properly do his job.

An interesting thing in the crazy world of duality is that opposites cancel each other out. This is such an important clue on how to live a happy life. Identify the feeling that presides and apply the remedy of opposite. When you live in fear you have lost your faith. If you add trust, doubt will evaporate. Unhappy? Put some fun on your menu. Even feeling like a victim dissolves when you add a daily dose of gratitude. If these suggestions sound too uncomplicated, perhaps you have allowed a habit to form of reacting in a certain way to life. Habits left unchecked become personalities and personalities create filters of perception that influence the way we see the world.

If you still feel resistance to the future, whether you are on the bus or wondering about the planets survival, I suggest you allow the other passengers in your life to inspire you. Join groups online or in life that are active in seeing and creating a more positive world, one filled with optimism.
