May the Empowered Rise. Which is not the same as pushing with a false sense of power is it?

I get it, many are still processing rage, anxiety and uncertainty over the future, and dancing with the real enemy…fear.

All the human emotions are designed to flow THROUGH us, not show up, squat, and live rent free in us.

Yet we’ve not been taught the art of eviction.

So we keep recycling the same emotional crap over and over. That’s the reason ‘history repeats itself’ when the design is for us to mine the gold, harvest the takeaways, and go forth to change history. To make things better.

Despite the grand-canyon-like pool of emotions at play, in varying degrees of expression, we still move forward as humans. That’s how amazing we are.

At this point in time, it looks to me like almost every individual is at a crossroads, a choice point.

I think one of the reasons we are reluctant to ‘let go’ of our anger/rage/fear is because we feel if we do, nothing will ever change. Complacency will overrule. Except that’s an ass-backwards way of looking at it. It’s complacency that get us into these messes in the first place, all the while we remain unconsciously shackled by our rage/fear/anger etc.

We gather together, each of us bringing our variation of rage/fear/anger to ‘push things in the direction we think is right and good’. The HUGE problem with that is we can’t change things for the better from the platform of rage/fear/anger.

The laws of energy don’t work that way. I keep hoping we’ll figure that out soon.

Energy is energy. Plays no favorites. Doesn’t matter how impassioned you are about your position. It’s all still energy in the end. The places you direct your energy expands that energy.

To direct energy, to wield energy, to call forth the energy of what is deeply important to us requires:

  1. We recognize the rage/fear/anger as the SIGNAL, not the platform. The signal alerts us that a new vision ready to awaken. Our job is to be clear about the vision.
  2. We transmute this energy of rage/fear into useable, wieldable, malleable energy for good to bring the vision into the world of form. We’re here, on the planet, in the world of form after all.
  3. We “hold” the energy in the direction of what we say we want (and it’s ok if we need to amend it along the way). Wavering back and forth costs us time, energy, and resources.
  4. We direct our energy to the ‘causing’ of our vision into form, until it’s here. The less we waver, the faster it arrives into form.

We’re all so skilled at getting our feathers ruffled, and have virtually no skill at doing the above. Yet this is what is required to create change.

For the record…’wavering’ looks like…”I have a vision, but I doubt it can happen. Yes, this vision is important to me, and it scares me into non-action. I ache for this vision, but I don’t think I’m good enough to have it.”

The words ‘stunned’ and ‘shocked’ have come up a lot after the election. I am stunned and shocked every time I have a conversation with someone about the way energy works. The laws that are immutable (bend for no one), and they proceed as if the conversation never happened wailing for things to change. WTF!?!?!

Our resistance to our relationship to how energy works determines whether or not we are an empowered individual or one who thinks they’re empowered simply because rage and fear is coursing through their veins. It’s one of the great human delusions.

Another delusion is that we can make change from a platform of anger and fear. We can’t. We simply get more anger and fear. Then we burn out because we can’t live with that intensity all day, every day.

Change can only be made from a platform of connection or alignment with the Infinite Intelligence that permeates all things. This is the energy that beats your heart and pumps your blood and causes the sun and moon to rise, DESPITE, the gang of squatters (fear, rage, doubt et al) allowed in your system.

We’ve got to stop pointing fingers to the bad people and terrorists ‘out there’. We are all card-carrying terrorists from the way we talk to ourselves in our head, to the words that come out of our mouth, to the things we don’t choose because of how much fear runs our life.

When you create a connection to Universal Tapestry of Truth, and think, talk, and act from there. Then you’ll stop being a party to terrorism.

This connection shows up when we’ve transformed the very energy that silences it. Fear.

People will say there’s no time for this namby-pamby, woo-woo, metaphysical crap when shit is hitting the fan!

Yet, how has avoiding the ‘metaphysical crap’ been working for us so far? This very metaphysical stuff is the point of every life.

The point is to transmute energy from lower forms to higher forms. Examples are fear to love, doubt to faith, depression to expression, lack to plenty, illness to health.

We use our Creative Life Force to do this. Which is very different than WASTING our creative life force on our savage attempts to get out of the shackles of fear and rage.

One builds us up and empowers us, the other tears us apart and offers a dangerous sense of false power.

We’ve got to begin the work of noticing this difference, first and foremost in ourselves, SO THAT we can be effective change-makers in the world.

There will be NO change from the platform of rage and fear, there will only be more rage and fear playing itself out in yet, another form trying desperately to get our attention.

Get our attention for what? To transform the base nature of this energy into a higher form. Through you and me and every fellow human who is willing to do the REAL work of change.

This is true alchemy. This is the philosopher’s stone, the holy grail. AND….it’s NOT outside of you. It’s inside of you. Mine your gold.

It’s not now, and never will be, about one political party or another, that’s a distraction. It’s about each and every one of us mining our gold. Then from that place, we are a collective that makes very different choices than we do from fear.

How many more years are we going to pretend that’s not true?

First, you are a sovereign human being with your full connection to the Source of all Life, and then you are part of a citizenry. We’ve got to get the order correct in order to be a valuable contributor to the citizenry.

Let’s do this!  www.artofreturningtolove.com
