Allow yourself to envision a new world, a peaceful world, a loving and kind world. This is not an unrealistic dream but a dream reality that will come to fruition, for the human imagination is one of the most powerful manifesters there is. Get a clear picture in your own mind of what a peaceful world would look like and repeatedly look at it. Add new things to your picture every day, making sure that everything in it works for the greater good of all. As you envision this dream world of loving kindness, harmony and balance, prosperity and success, health and wholeness, you bring it forth into reality. Build that world first in your imagination, perfecting it every day, as you imagine what it will be like to live in its harmony and peace. As you do this, it is being constructed in reality, one day and one dream at a time. Keep up the good work, for your imagination is the best possible dream worker there is.
Once upon a time, the love generation taught that love was greater than war, that the power of love could conquer anything, that love could save the world. That generation was right, and they are still right. Keep their wisdom and vision alive in you every day, reminding yourself that love is still the greatest power there is.
Remind yourself today to stay heart-centered and kind. No matter what is happening in the outside world, keep your inner world calm and grounded in knowing that love will find a way to return as the leader. Love will once again rule. And that which now dampens the spirits of the many will be eradicated by that love. So, keep your own love alive; love for all whom you share the planet with, hope for that love to find its new home sooner rather than later, and the intent that love and kindness will prevail once again.
A mirror to the outside world now reflects a world we can no longer count on in a familiar way. All is unfamiliar. How does this reflect life in our changing inner world? Welcome to life in the unfamiliar.
The root of the word familiar is family, that powerfully impressive network we were all born into, archetypally designed to help us achieve some core sense of self that has a consistency of feeling, perceiving and knowing, and provides us with feelings of security and confidence as we navigate life.
The imprints of these primary relationships and experiences create formidable beliefs about ourselves, and our world, which sink into the subconscious mind and govern our lives and form habits that largely define ourselves to ourselves.
This habitual self becomes our greatest place of safety, for better or for worse. Although the subconscious mind is indeed the center of our divine creativity, it is often limited by ancient internalized beliefs about ourselves that deny us access to our true creative potential.
The divine subconscious mind cannot solve this contradiction of old suggestions versus new possibilities, since its function is to create, not to analyze.
For change to happen, the divine conscious mind must reconcile these opposing beliefs by identifying and destroying old errors of belief, by aligning with truth, and by delivering wise and powerful suggestions to the subconscious mind, inviting it to open doors to new rooms of living within the personality of self. And these rooms are often quite unfamiliar.
A myriad of dream homes—both my own and my clients’—flow through my mind as I contemplate the theme of unknown rooms, newly discovered, in a present or past home.
Sometimes these rooms are occupied by old monsters; the familiar shadows of yesteryear, with all their limiting beliefs and habits. But often they are openings to a golden shadow, the innate potential within the self waiting to be discovered, nurtured and freed to blossom.
To fully live in the unfamiliarity of now in a new way is to relax the persona, the familiar face of everyday habit, and adopt a new habit of daily gratitude. The practice of gratitude upon awakening strikes down the old tried and true grimace, which typically grounds the new day in familiar disappointment, in favor of joy and lightness of being.
The practice of gratitude confirms that you are the master of your life. It is your thoughts, new or old, that generate how you feel. When you are fully in charge of thinking thoughts that positively raise the vibration of your energetic life, the key that opens a new door in the subconscious mind, a new positive feeling of being is manifested which is impervious to outer events.
Invite the self to open the doors and walk through the past horrors. They are only ghosts holding the space of what needs to be fully owned, mastered and surpassed. Beyond those rooms are the doors to total fulfillment, but, to enter, they do require a willingness to become a being completely unfamiliar with itself.
Let gratitude alone become your guiding light. With constant gratitude you will never be the same. Let that life in the unfamiliar become your new familiar.
Underneath the volatile energy, that has overtaken many leaders in the world, is another energy, the individual hunger for power of each of those leaders. Their collective hunger for power is what is driving the world quite crazy right now. That power drive, driven by greed and need and ideology, is being allowed to run rampant. There are no adults in the houses of the powerful and thus no adult has control, no wise person has the ears of those power-hungry entities. Until the power hungry are out of office things will continue to ramp up, for that is how they attract energy to themselves, through feeding off the frenzy of sorrow, anger and fear. They are like wild beasts, the smell of blood fueling their desires, their hearts blackened, cut off and silenced by the hardness of their ways. They have forgotten how to be grateful, but you have not, and you already know that at some point things will change and the heart-centered will return to power. Until then, keep your own hearts alive and well with acts of loving kindness and compassion for all you share the planet with, even those who destroy and wreak havoc, for they are most in need of it.
