Some of us have been experiencing depression; feeling like nothing we have accomplished is worthwhile. Others feel a total loss of direction and purpose. Nothing is looking like we expected and none of the old rules seem to apply. Vision for the future has disappeared and our passion along with it.
During the long dark, when we were operating at a much lower (less expansive) frequency, our minds had to take over the job of guiding us. Things were moving and changing so slowly that we could use our linear mind to evaluate events of the past and superimpose them on to the present or future and come up with a pretty good idea of what to expect. This was very useful during the times when we had no direct access to intuition or spiritual information. Our entire education system is built upon this premise. We store information in the mind to draw upon when it is needed to guide us through life. Our minds became so important to survival, in fact, that we put everything else on the back burner. Emotions were judged against as interfering with our ability to reason. The body was thought of as a house for the mind and spirit was not really considered at all as we could not connect with it.
While necessary and useful the mind centered way of operating has several disadvantages. Without the checks and balances of the other three aspects of our beings: emotional, physical and spiritual, the mind is subject to illusion.
Anything subject to illusion is subject to programming and control. We are now controlled by societies imposed concepts and realities that actually dictate our presumed wants, needs, and direction. The mind is totally identified with its place in this false reality and we are identified with our minds.
Another disadvantage of the mind centered approach to life it that by its very nature, thought is linear and therefore polarized. Life is not polarized but cyclical. This puts us out of touch with nature and the only law that holds true over time is the law of nature.
While the mind rules all, the rest of us languishes. We interoperate this languishing as longing for love, for something to complete us. Because we are trapped in a linear polarized reality, we have lost touch with all that is. We are compartmentalized and unable to complete ourselves in order to connect with spirit. Self longing for self is not understood so it is translated as self longing for other. We find ourselves looking for love in all the wrong places.
Anyone wanting something badly enough becomes easily controlled and manipulated. We may think that money drives our culture or sex but if we look deeply enough into it, the real reason we want money is to buy love, we think we need sex to connect and find fulfillment. Yet, it is wholeness we truly seek and wholeness is something one cannot get from someone else.
Now as we are coming into a time of much greater frequency this old format no longer serves. As we find ourselves subject to much more expansive frequencies everything is moving at much greater speeds and the old “knowledge” that we so pride ourselves in collecting, no longer applies. Furthermore, by the time the mind has figured out what is going on and getting ready to project it onto the future, the present changes and seemingly so do all the rules. The entire system we have identified with is rapidly failing us leaving us with a deep since of personal failure. The mind centered way of being is dying and because we are so identified with it we feel as we also are dying. The mind has ruled for so long that it has become an entity unto itself and is going down kicking and screaming. This is resulting in much suffering among us.
Now is the time to dust off our long dormant instincts present in the body, the natural direction provided by our emotions and reconnect our spirits to all that is. The almighty mind needs to get over itself and take up its rightful job of receiving and translating information from the other three realms in order to find safe passage.
Trust, faith, spontaneity, and living in the moment are paramount in order to navigate through these changing times.
One of the challenges is that, much like an unoccupied bedroom in a home, anything left dormant becomes a storage place for unprocessed stuff. In order to access and use our physical, emotional and spiritual beings we need to dig in and deal with our unprocessed garbage.
We need to unclutter the mind from past information that no longer serves and past duties it can no longer perform and live in the present. As long as the mind is projecting old information and dictating our actions accordingly we have no hope of being spontaneous.
We are all burdened by unprocessed denied emotions that cloud present issues. It is very difficult to discern feelings generated by our present circumstances from those that are triggers into past unprocessed feelings still harbored in our emotional realm. When we cannot trust our feelings, we simply cannot trust.
The mental concept of faith is assumption that things will turn out according to our visions. Yet we now find our vision is based in illusion. We experience this as a loss of faith. Faith at the more expansive frequencies is faith in our rightful and natural place in the circle of life.
In short, if we can find wholeness and completeness in ourselves, we can find contentment in all circumstances. This is ours for the taking on the other side of processing out who we no longer are and never really were and embracing all that we are.
