Keep An Even Keel and Your Hand Upon the Wheel

 

Zen Gardner, Guest
Waking Times

It’s a pretty difficult time to navigate that we’re in. The news, views and constant spews are bad enough, but the underlying energetic changes that are hitting us are enormous.

No doubt your personal life is under re-examination. That’s good. No doubt your course in life is under serious consideration as well. Also good.

Take the ride gracefully and trust inside yourself. Very profound changes are happening at very deep levels within each of us while all this is playing out on the surface. Let it happen. You’ll be fine, as long as you let it happen and operate from the heart.

But keep your hand upon the wheel.

A Time to Morph

Changes aren’t always easy. Some we accept willingly and others “not so much”. Transition is a moving from one place to another, often implying leaving constructs, unhealthy dependencies and things behind in order to make the leap before us.

That’s how it works.

Life Has Its Way

God said:

You have some stipulations about Life. You will go along with much of Life. At the same time, you protest certain arrangements, as if Life has no authority to settle things for you. You would like some binding rules and escape clauses. You would like to tell Life a thing or two about its wrong choices and endeavors regarding you. You stamp your foot. You are certain that Life is not to be the way Life is as you see it -- unpredictable, unstable, and unwarranted.

The fact is that Life can be any way it happens to be. There are no laws against what you protest. Life can get you in a bind. What recourse do you have? There is no escaping life. It’s bigger than you. Life isn’t trying to get you, or get you in a bind. Life is really minding its own business, yet, there it is: Life is bigger than Life.

If you only knew, you, too, are bigger than Life. Life kind of strong-arms you. Life does not always have manners. Life is a big guy, a muscle-guy. Life doesn’t ask you or anyone for permission. It doesn’t ask you to say how you feel about how Life is going. Perhaps you are just caught in the middle. In any case, it seems like Life is arbitrary. Yes, Life has its own way of removing or adjusting whatever may seem to stand in its way.

How To Start A Food Is Free Project!

by Andrew Martin, Collective Evolution

“Never underestimate your power to inspire and affect your community around you. Even the smallest of acts can really ripple out.” – John VanDeusen Edwards, Founder of The Food is Free Project

Food is Free Project

The Food is Free Project grows community and food while helping people gain independence from a broken agricultural system. The Food is Free Project is a community building and gardening movement that launched in January of 2012. The project is a combination of guerrilla gardening and the Food is Free concept, developed to help provide a platform for community interaction which facilitates collaboration and connection. Over 300 cities around the world have started Food is Free Projects.

The gardens are built and offered for free using salvaged resources that would otherwise be headed to the landfill. By using drought-tolerant, wicking bed gardens, these low maintenance gardens only need to be watered every 2-4 weeks. This simple tool introduces people to a very easy method of growing organic food with very little work. A wide variety of vegetables along the block promote neighbors to interact and connect, strengthening our communities while empowering them to grow their own food.

Daily Message ~ Friday January 15, 2016

Acceptance is a powerful anchor word. It is the by product of faith and trust, and creates the foundation for peace and patience. By acknowledging the divinity of every person and experience, it is the antidote to resistance, thus supporting comfort and connection. Acceptance allows you to embrace the beauty of each now moment, which creates the experience of deep gratitude, and releases the need to control or push against anything. That keeps you in a state of divine movement, in willing unfoldment, which creates a path of grace and ease, and the experience of loving everything and everyone like never before. It by tending the rich soil of acceptance that many other divine attributes will be able to bloom and grow. ~Archangel Gabriel

Radical Simplicity – Making Space to Thrive

By Jack Adam Weber
Contributing Writer for Wake Up World

Complexity and busyness characterize our times. Most of us don’t have enough time to do the things that matter most. If we don’t have a way to digest and simplify, we can easily feel overwhelmed and stressed out. Thus the great de-cluttering movement to simplify our lives.

Simplicity, therefore, should not be a dumbing-down of life’s complexities but an embrace of them. This way we arrive at a radical, comprehensive simplicity as the force of our presence and expression in the world.

Simplification, however, can backfire when it’s superficially engaged, by which we might do more harm than good. If you find yourself unable to find time for what matters most to you, I recommend cutting out the superfluous, unnecessary busy things you can do without. I bet you can name three of these things off the top of your head right now.

The Fracking Industry’s Answer to Toxic Wastewater: Spray It On Public Roadways

By Carolanne Wright
Contributing Writer for Wake Up World

Just when we thought it couldn’t get much worse on the fracking front — polluted groundwater, poisoned environment, destroyed ecosystems — a dangerous new practice for ‘disposing’ of fracking wastewater has been put into action: spread it onto roadways for ice and dust management. Not only does the the flowback water from fracking contain a range of toxic compounds — including ammonium, iodide, heavy metals and bromide — it can also contain radioactive material.

For those unfamiliar with the process of fracking — known as hydraulic fracturing — a bit of history about the technique is helpful. Halliburton developed the process in 1949 and utilized the technology for decades with oil and gas wells to increase production, as they began to run dry. In conventional fracking, the well is stimulated by pumping-in water at high pressure. But hydraulic fracturing used for shale rock is a relatively new process and the one we hear most about today.

You have to disappear as you are, then the real arises. You don't have any idea, not even in your dreams, of what is the real. You are unreal and you live in unreality. You live in dreams, you are fast asleep. You cannot conceive of what awakening is going to be.

Only one thing can be said: whatsoever you know will not be there. This is the negative way of saying it.

Sufis have also chosen in the same way. They say fana - first dissolve, dissolve in toto. Nothing is to remain of you; and only then that great transformation. When you are absent, God becomes a presence in you - but only then. That condition has to be fulfilled.

-Rajneesh

Why It’s Important To Stop Fearing Your Dark Side & Begin Understanding It

by Rajie Kabli, Collective Evolution

One of my favourite quotes is by Carl Jung: ” One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light but by making the darkness conscious.”  This resonates with me so much, I think, because I’ve spent the last 10 years reading, listening to, absorbing, mimicking, and meditating on the following mantras: “Just think positive thoughts.”; “All we are is love and light.”; “This too will pass.”; “Transcend your ego.” 

I have pages and pages of words in countless journals asking, no, pleading, with God or the Universe to please help me be better and rid myself of negativity. I think to myself, “God please help me be more loving, more compassionate, more understanding.” Let me just go ahead and say, nothing is wrong with praying for these things, but not once did I ever stop to think that perhaps I’m not embodying these traits I so desperately seek for a reason.

Triple Water Astrology – The Critical Degree! Weekly Horoscope – Week Starting Friday, January 15, 2016

Please like my page at http://www.facebook.com/triplewaterastrology!

A decent amount of action characterizes the transits this week, including Sun moving into Uranus’ sign, Aquarius, on January 20. Venus will conjunct the Galactic Center on January 21; relationships embody the influence of the wonder, immensity, and expansion of the entire galaxy for a brief time. The potentially truculent Mars in Scorpio helps to form a rare watery grand trine with Neptune and Kronos (Transneptunian) on January 18 and 19. Acting on imagination can lead to new heights, in terms of status or achievement in one’s niche. Likewise, those in authority (perhaps spiritual authority), or those showing decisive leadership, might serve to inspire others to forge ahead to obtain what they desire – the powerful grand trine exerts its energies influentially in mid-week.

Seeking the Word of God

God said:

I speak My Love to you, for you, My child, are the Inspirer of My Love. I need no inspiration, you understand, yet you are like the Sun to My Heart. As I inspired you with Love, as I blew the breath of you into Existence, you soared to the Stars and flew around the Moon, and the Sun did a number on your heart. I heard you say:

“Hurray, God, you created a world. You created the world with me in it. The deed is done. We are forever. The world is made. The rest is peek-a-boo, and Creation recreates itself in a cycle of Love and Beauty.

“God, You teach us to smile and to bless the world You made. You made the seas that rise and lap over waves of laughter. You activated surfing and all kinds of joy by the blink of an eye. You thought of everything. You covered us with Moondust. You gave us the magic power of love.

“God, You said, as I heard You:

‘I made for you all toys in the world. I made Moonbeams. You are caught up in them. You worship Me with dance. I gave you the Universe to dance on, and you sing with all your heart. You sing a song of God, and you are the song you sing. I sit still with My arms folded, and I nod My head as you perpetuate love and slap your knees and twang the banjo of your heart.’

"I, your child, I say thank You. Thank You. I remember You, God. I remember all the stories You told me, and the songs You sang of courage and heroes. You declared me. You announced me. You introduced myself to my Self. You whispered that I am Your Tribute. You told me that You made me for joy, Yours and mine.
