No Title

A young man comes out of a fast food restaurant wearing a T-shirt saying "Deal with it". What does he feel he has to deal with I wonder? His life, or the illusion of it, the job he hates, his unfullfilling relationship, or simply the dull drone of humanity in the city. Outwardly he seamed happy but yet something in his eyes told me he was only half present shuffling along with thousands of others working to survive, lost in the masses. I wonder how many others this day are wearing the same shirt, affirming that they have to deal with what life gives out. And I also wonder why would they put up with this half existence. Maybe I am a dreamer, but I wonder why do we have to deal with anything at all? Why do we settle for less than blissful and perfection everyday? Why do we give up, sell out, and settle for less, putting ourselves at the mercy of the universe and societal programming? Humanity as learned to deal with a half life, half dreams, half happiness. Living this way is not natural nor the way we were born. We were born with trust, love and bliss. I wonder why is it that we feel we can’t have it all and just the way we want it. A classic Beatles song rises up in my mind. The lyrics sing "and in the end… the love we take is equal to the love we make" Hummm….. Maybe the Beatles where just speaking about making love or maybe they were going deeper than what most of us in the 60’s though they said. I have to admit I have lived in beautiful places surrounded by awakening people for the past 14 years. I am blessed and yet in this isolation from the main stream world gives me an opportunity to see the illusion so many are lost in. Once in a while I take a drive into the city to visit my daughters. The culture shock is intense when I first enter the city. The shock of how the masses of the population are immersed in illusion. We are judged by what we look like, what material wealth we have gained, what prestigious jobs we have. No one seams to notice the real person behind the beauty, inside the new car or behind the desk. What seams to be the most important is what is visible on the outside, ignoring the intense beauty that is struggling to get out from the inside. It is this person in side - behind the illusion that is screaming to be let out and needs to be recognized. It is the truth of who we really are. But something is stirring in deep in hearts of humanity. Something so powerful, so ferocious, that nothing can hold it back. It is welling up in us like a volcano. It is rushing thought us with a torrential river. It is blasting us like swift lighten bolt. This power is calling us to live our passion, to live our bliss, to live in the flow of our divine and chosen path. This power is our destiny and is powered by LOVE. But over and over we have forgotten depths and power of love. We have forgotten it enchantment and magic. We have settled for less over and over. We settle for less in our relationships, jobs and life. Universal law is simple. If we are willing to settle for less than we will always have less. If we do not approach life with arms wide open, we will always fall short of the blissful life we dream desire. If you want that amazing new job that you think is out of reach, change your mind. Go for it with all you have with an open heart and know you deserve it! If you want an amazing relationship approach the person openly. Realize what an amazing person you are and you deserve it! What do we have to loose? The new Paradigm is coming alive in us and we are being asked to go for it with faith and trust and with wide open arms. If we do not greet it with everything we have, then again we will be settling for less than pure love, perfection and bliss. If you don’t go for it today the opportunity is lost. Magic it is the moment, and we must seize it when the calling comes.

We have all let so many magical moments pass us by. As we travel down the road of life we kick ourselves saying, I should have done that, spoke to that person, followed that calling. But hindsight is always clear now isn’t it? So why not have your hind sight right now. While you are faced with a big decision. Put yourself, in your minds eye, as an elder sitting in a rocking chair, reviewing your life. Ask yourself if you had it to do over again would you go for it! It is amazing how clear we can become when we
think of it this way. I know for myself I have let to many opportunities go by me in the past. I don’t want to be an old woman knowing I did not seize the opportunities the creator gave me. Life is magic and synchronistic. Follow the flow and your life will be filled with magic too. I am not
saying it is easy. You have to be brave. You might have to give up your comfort zones and securities… but you’ll have magic and wonder in your life everyday.
