We have now had about 21 days of establishing a new “normal” for our lives, having to self-quarantine, having our children, spouse or partner at home all the time, and that can be stressful. But with the right frame of mind and a lot of patience, it can also be a way to have a more profound connection with them, get to know their dreams, their points of view, which we have never had the time to explore.
21 days is the minimal length of time it takes to build new habits, and I would encourage you, if you have started to build new habits that really serve you, like meditation and self-reflection, to continue on that path. Count the blessings of the new way of life you have had to adopt, rather than looking at the downsides! Because there are downsides to everything – remember we live in a world of duality, of polarities, and we always have the choice of what to focus on, the good, or the bad.
And what we focus on, amplifies for us; not for anyone else, because we are sovereign in our lives and can experience love, harmony, joy and peace while our neighbor experiences frustration, not-enoughness, anger or sadness and hopes that this will be over sooner rather than later, and that things will go back to where they were.
No! things must never go back to where they were, and will not! We must see to it that they don’t. We don’t want to revert to the pollution that was poisoning our atmosphere, poisoning the earth and the oceans and rivers. We don’t want to revert back to the competition to get the biggest piece of the pie, whether individually or globally, which leads to conflicts and wars; we don’t want to revert back to where most of humanity live below the poverty level and all the wealth is accumulated in the hands of just a few.
Basically, we all want the same things; to be happy, healthy and abundant. So we need to create a totally new world based on values of mutual cooperation, equality, consideration of others, compassion and respect of all life. We need to remember that we are all emanations from the Divine Source of All That Is, and be in service to the life that is now emerging on a higher level of evolution than previously, that is going to create another golden age, even better than the last one, that is only remembered in the myths we have, and consider them a fantasy.
But that world can only come through us, since we are the co-creators of our reality, and that means, Source provides the energy with which to think, feel and act; and we provide the thoughts, feelings and actions necessary to make visible in the physical world what already exists in the spiritual world. We must bring Heaven down to Earth, not wait and hope to be whisked up to Heaven when we die.
Heaven is not a place up above the clouds, but a state of mind, and our job now is to establish that state of mind in ourselves first, to be able to help others achieve it too.
