"Love never fails: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away. For we know in part, and we prophesy in part. But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away. When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things. For now we see through a glass, darkly, but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known." (The New Testament: I Corinthians 13)
EVOLUTION'S JOURNEY. The above passage, from one of Apostle Paul's letters in the New Testament, presents us with a perfect illustration of Evolution---in the life of an individual, a community, and.....ultimately......the world. The Reconnections use a similar illustration when they speak about the Transformation of our Concept of Karma, speaking from a point in history where Separation Concepts expand into Reconnection with All That Is......where time becomes timelessness.....and all of life's potential seems suddenly within our grasp.
We are now living at just such a juncture in history. A crossroads of human development. We can go forward, into the Unknown---drawn by curiosity, a touch of boredom, and daily infusions of Living Faith. We can slip slowly backward---clinging to familiar, safe harbors of habitual "sameness" and mindless tradition. Or, we can BUILD A BRIDGE between the two, so that no bright potential goes unexplored, and no object of true enduring worth is lost.
The next shifts and changes which are longing to occur on Planet Earth involve our stewardship of TIME and SUBSTANCE. In their powerful transmission on this subject, the Guides outline a new way of being in 3D. The reader may want to take time to review this vision now.
ONENESS is the key. Oneness with every person, place, object, or situation. Instead of being "self-centered," we allow ourselves to become "centered in Self." ONE Universal Self. There are no accidents. There are no perpetrators. Everything simply IS as it IS. And it's all perfect .
Time is illusion. But so is the entire 3D Game. Once we've elected to play, we gain the right to watch ourselves EVOLVE through various levels of this illusion. We don't bite off more than we can chew, but we DO allow ourselves to make incremental "leaps of faith" when it feels right to do so. I would suggest that humanity's next "leap" has to do with how we use time, rather than letting time rule us.
What would happen if we stopped trying to CONTROL THINGS, through our projected usages of time? What if we confined our usage of time to a simple recording and cataloging events, so their archived "memory" can be brought forward into our Now Moment, and used to give color and texture to our Now? Granted........the idea of "past-present-future" is just a conceptual construct. It has no basis in "objective fact" beyond what you (creator of your perceived universe) say it does. But many people find the complete application of that info to be an awfully BIG BITE to swallow, so they go for something smaller.
In the "vision" listed above, it talks about people "coming and going" in the world as their energy moves them. My friend Shirley has done this for many years. Those who know and love this elegant woman say that she lives on "Shirley Time." She gets there when she gets there. And it works for her, too.......BIG TIME.
THE AIRLINE AND TRAVEL INDUSTRIES
What would happen to our airline and travel industries if they began operating the way Shirley does? They would have to focus deep inside their administrative complex to FEEL INTO what would work for them NOW, in this present moment---not two, three, or four weeks down the line. They might as well be open for change, because currently most airlines are financially defunct. People want and need to travel. But very often they don't KNOW where they wish to go until the ENERGY MOVES them. And when it does, they would love to be able to go NOW, not wait for reasonable air fares. Why penalize me because Spirit is moving me to travel today? Is that not the VERY SAME Spirit which exists at the center of the Airline? If both sides of the transaction were to simply LET GO, and stop trying to fleece each other, wouldn't more people wish to play the game?
I am part of YOU, and you are part of ME. Let's begin acting like it, shall we? All time is NOW. Let's begin acting like that, too. One of the primary reasons people spend their time trying to "get rich quick" is: they want freedom..........the ability to live life within a state of "flow." What if we ALL began living in a state of "flow," helping our neighbors do the same? What if we did this regardless of wealth?
The way things could work, during these times of high transition, would be to use PAST EXPERIENCE as 1/2 the gauge for how to enter into your Now. The other 1/2 must involve INTUITION, or a person's innate "feel" for how things want to go. Crew availability, weather conditions, fuel, consumer interest, traffic patterns, and a host of other factors play a role in the process. Though things may SEEM more efficient if they are planned ahead of time, the end result is that we are "living a planned life" rather than FLOWING with the life that wants to happen in our Now. Planning for the future flows 100% on the past. Like attracts like. What do both elements have in common? They both exist outside of Now. They are immune to the DYNAMIC EFFECTS which Now brings to the party..
What do the Reconnections say about all this? They tell us:
"When a Reconnected Heart Space is allowed to freely orchestrate your lives, rather than your Separation Minds, everything and everyone becomes aligned within a synchronized flow. The tasks you wish to perform, and the people with whom you will perform them are all part of the same One Being. When humankind truly believes this, and begins to live according to that belief, the illusion known as "conflict" will begin to fade.More and more, people will just begin "showing up" precisely at the time others are ready to see them. If a person sets out upon a journey and his desires suddenly shift, he will simply alter his path in accordance with the energy of the moment. Obstacles that appear to be blocking the attainment of some goal will no longer be considered to be your enemies. Rather, they will be interpreted as signs that you have gotten a bit off-course in your inner connection, and you need to re-examine your perceived desires."The Reconnections indicate that this type of change is LONGING TO TAKE PLACE in many of our industries today. It would absolutely RESURRECT the Airline Industry. If carriers are realistic about costs, flexible about days and times (you need to give a day's notice to cancel or book a flight to avoid a reasonable penalty), business would start HUMMING again, especially during the Holiday Season.
The roots of inflation do not arise from an expanded sense of personal worth, or the worth of our products. If it did, we'd all be wonderfully well-adjusted, instead of wildly neurotic. Rather, inflation grows from a desire to gain "leverage" on others, for fear they will gain leverage on us first. There's that key word, too: FEAR.
The Guides tell me that nearly everything happening in our Economy right now is born of humanity's desire to MOVE PAST FEAR. Consequently, a great many of our fears are rising up to meet us. As they do, energies shift. If we aren't willing to shift with them, the traditions and institutions we built around an Old Paradigm of Control and Containment will topple and die. If we DO learn "new ways" of dealing with our lives, the River of Life will FLOW before us, bringing wonderful resiliency and strength to all our endeavors.
More to come. Your comments and questions are welcome.
