Shaken, Waiting to be Stirred
We are here. See above image.
What if we are first shaken before we can be stirred? We cannot think, believe, or behave in the old ways. These are being shaken through and out of us in every way we most require at this time and for the foreseeable future. Of course, what we call the future is not exactly foreseeable at this time because it does not yet exist. So, let’s get down to ‘NOW,’ shall we?
Nurturing the Oneness Within. An appropriate acronym for being fully embodied and present within one’s unique Source Essence. Some don’t like the term “Oneness.” Some don’t like the term “mindfulness” and prefer “Presence.” Some think it is empowering to use direct and forceful language {swearing}; some find that form of expression offensive and has a low vibe. Could we please get over these dumb lines in the sand? Just bounce.
Semantics {some antics} never solved anything. We all adopt or make up expressions that seem viable to our current vibratory bundle. This truth applies to every area of life. What is needed, NOW, is to listen for vibratory threads of truth. Sometimes, there will be one nugget in a whole message, whether it be a book, an article, or a video. Sometimes, an entire presentation will sing with Source’s authenticity. And, when Source speaks through anyone, She uses whatever expression will grab the attention of the audience there present. She delivers what is most needed in that moment of NOW.
There is no rote formula, no fixed path or position, that will assist anyone through this transition. How many dead ends are you prepared to face before realizing what needs to be realized by you and only you? {and perhaps a few others besides}
We can all feel the vibration of real truth versus programmed outrage. So, how NOW, brown cow? To what will you listen? We are being shown, not told, the navigational capabilities of our new and shifting bodies. The more we resist, the more our treasured beliefs will be shaken. Shaken, but not yet stirred. Only lily pads are in sight in this galactic sea of possibilities.
Me? I’m listening for the stirring, the inspired glimmers, the impulses that Source always delivers. I look for the flash or quiet stream of beauty. I listen for the joyous spiral of Source’s stirring. Stirred with inspiration, stirred by ecstatic moments of joy, stirred by compassion, well-tempered with dispassion.
Loving feelings and emotions are most often cool and calm at their core. When did we forget this? Or did we? Was it perhaps that we have been taught that being shaken up and inflamed is more powerful and feels better than quiet being? What vibrates as truth for you NOW?
Passion is a great motivator. Its compatriots deliver the goods.
Let’s learn new ways of being and taking action whilst immersed in new and stronger flows. What is there to lose but those things already dissolving and falling away? What you love will find you and accompany your longer journey. For NOW, why not listen and respond only when called by the Source within? {Denial need not apply}
I once had a friend who had just had fresh sod laid in her garden. She asked a tenant-friend to please look after the patch of new green and give it daily water while she was away for a few days. She would not have left her new green world companions had there been no one there to care for them and make sure they rooted well. When she returned, the grass was brown, dry, and dead.
When confronted with negligence, the tenant-friend replied, “No actions arose in my meditation, so I did not take any.” This is NOT how one listens for truth, nor how it is best applied. Spirituality does not mean one throws common sense out the window. When my friend demanded, “How could you let the new grass die? Couldn’t you hear it calling?” The about-to-be-evicted tenant simply shrugged and closed his eyes. Shoving his ignorant bum off his meditation cushion, my friend said, “You are demonstrating some of the worst characteristics of spiritual ego: bypassing, ignorant denial, and… it has to be said… defended stupidity. NOW, get out of my house!” When I heard the story, I laughed till my friend and I were both in tears. Then I helped her water her lovely garden.
NOW is the time to let our radiance flow through our physical bodies and do what we are impulsed to do, as well as what we find in front of us. Source has placed these things where they are for our benefit. Flow will direct action if we so allow. Sometimes, guidance arrives through a bird, stone, or tree. Sometimes, it arrives through a garden hose.
What begins to stir you, NOW? Pay attention to that rather than to anything that is purging and falling away. Oh, and mind how you go. There will be debris for a bit yet. Best not to look for new projects in the pileup. What lifts your heart? Feel into that, instead.
The next fortnight or so ushers in new and powerful energies. Listen and ride well, beloved starstreams. Don’t let the grass die under your feet, even if it has disappeared already.
Infinite love ~
