Enlightenment is about letting go of all you believe so that true reality can bleed through.  This reality changes moment by moment and is different at each level of our evolution. It is for this reason that to cling to a momentary truth and to try to apply it to all circumstances creates dogma and denial. 

What is needed now is to open up these locked down places in our minds so that we can perceive what is really happening around us. Then we can process this information to create a more whole experience, a more open and accepting experience, an experience where magic truly happens commonplace.

Our minds were designed to be receivers and transmitters not generators. When we try to use our mind to judge reality rather than observe and document we lock down on concepts and create blocks in our neurological pathways. These blocks prevent us from receiving new information that may change our viewpoint.

I am becoming increasingly aware of carefully forgotten events I have experienced in the past that did not line up with what I believed to be true. The memories of these experiences are now bleeding through as I increasingly let go of my judgments and beliefs.

As the new information is allowed to surface my reality shifts and new experiences are possible.  It is like waking from a dream, this coming out of denial, cultural denial and personal denial.  This denial has kept us safe from the knowledge of the atrocities of our daily experience.  It has kept us from seeing the coarseness, cruelty and desecration in our lives.

So why would we want to wake up to this grisly reality?? To get out of it, thank you. We went to sleep because there was not enough light on the planet to operate by, we simply had no other options.  Now that we are re-entering the photon band, the age of enlightenment, we have the option of attaining the frequency and power to change our world.

In order to do this, however, we must first wake up to, and accept what is. Paradoxically, contentment in all conditions brings joy. The only joy to be had is in the moment where ever we find ourselves.

How can we continue to evolve and be content where we are? That is exactly what is being asked of us. It is about being. Intend it and then be with it. Let go of what it looks like. The cake is in the oven. It is just goo now, and if you open the oven too soon it will fall and become rubbery. But you will have it when it is done, provided you keep the gas coming to the stove.

In this analogy, the cake represents our intended creation, the goo is our alchemical process necessary to get there, the oven is the void or womb space between now and the intended future, and the gas is trust and faith combined with right action. Right action is the ability to recognize the events or opportunities that lead to our creation as they arrive coupled with the choice to take advantage of these gifts.

We relinquish control and attachment, only to find that ultimate control and attachment are not required. Why become attached to something when you can recreate something better or something different or whatever, whenever you need it. Why control what the process looks like when the relinquishing of control brings all you have intended but in surprising ways. Oh to relax and enjoy the adventure.  To know all you need will be provided because you have intended that it is so, and yet trust the co-creative process to deliver in unexpected ways. I don't need to know the chemical process involved in order to bake a cake, and no two of my cakes have ever been entirely the same. Yet each cake has been perfect for the occasion, even the flops have provided much needed humor.

When we see through the open trusting eyes of innocence we can recognize the results of what we have intended, planted into our future if you will, and then take leisurely action to harvest it in it’s time.  From a place of total receptivity and non judgment we can truly see what is going on and our part in it without judging against ourselves. This in turn, empowers us to make different choices in the future if we wish to alter the outcome. At the same time, we are freed up to recognize the perfection of what is in the moment and how it truly serves or leads to what we have intended. "There are no mistakes, just more data." The "crater cake" was great for Uncle Hennery's birthday and provided a lot of laughs but it would probably not be appreciated at Cousin Penelope's fancy wedding. Therefore, I will be careful not to take it out of the oven so soon this time.

So much of our lives have been driven by our feelings of guilt and shame and the resulting patterns and denials we create to avoid the same. Yet, in true reality, we have no reason to ever experience guilt and shame for we came into this world perfect to do what we came to do. Even our greatest faults and deepest damage become gifts of healing when put into the hands of the Creator. It is only then that we can co-create in joy and ease.

In friendship,
