A Whole New World….

 A Whole New World….

….and not just because it's a New Year! I’ve heard many times mention of the Leader of the Free World. It hits me like a ton of bricks what an oxymoron that title is. If it were truly a Free World, it would not need a leader. Even in the bible in the book of Kings there is a reference to power being taken away from Solomon and returned to the people. 

While the above is a radical idea for many, even more profound is the knowing that true freedom actually lies within each and every one of us. Someone can be more “free” in a prison cell than another strolling around in a “free country”. It is the remembrance of our inner world, and who we truly are, that frees us from the shackles of the programmed beliefs of humanity over the centuries. While for some, this can be an instantaneous satori experience, for others, it can take lifetimes. I am grateful to be scratching the surface of this awareness and ready to take it to the next level. This NOW is the time if you have resonated with this idea even the tiniest bit. Gaia has elevated her frequency as well as a great percentage of humanity making our way clearer. 

There have been so many artists, like Styx with their Grand Illusion, that “got it”. Way back then they were so wise, and their expression of that awakening poured forth in their music. Part of the Grand Illusion is time the way most humans understand it. As I have alluded to in Storytime and other places, everything is happening at once. Generally, humans need to think linearly as their minds just can’t compute everything happening in this one present moment. Due to my intention to BE in the present, I am able to more often (haha, I can’t even write a line with human words without alluding to the currently understood concept of time!) I have deeply resonated with Whitney Houston’s, “One Moment in Time”   since I first heard it in 1988 – especially the line, “in that one moment of time I will feel eternity”. The other verse reminds, “in that one moment of time I will be free”. In reference to Freedom earlier, I believe it is only in BEing in the present moment that we can truly BE free. Only in the Now we can feel/be anything everywhere all at once.

Am I....

...in a prison?

Or am I....

FREE?!

Another line in Whitney’s song is, “I’m only one, but not alone…”. Revealing a bit more about my past – or rather, “other life” experiences, I remember BEing Mary Magdalene. I am equally aware of many others out there who also felt they were Mary Magdalene. How can that be? Are we all having the same illusion? In a sense, yes. Since we are all One, you are me and I am you. Hence, we can have the memory of an experience of being anyone that our energy lines up with in some fashion or another. And now you know where my information of Yeshua, also known as Jesus, comes from!

I almost forgot something from my visit to Kauai a couple months back. In Lemuria and Lessons, I shared about an amazingly gifted, intuitive young man I received a transformative sound session. Just prior to that I picked a card from a Dragon Path deck offered. The card was FREEDOM!

Note: We are almost wrapping up the year of the Wood Dragon!

The message was appropriate too

Why all this talk about freedom and being an inside job as we start the new year? Part is about me being authentic about my own journey. I feel that I have created a prison for myself every time I am in an environment that is not pleasing to me. I’ve struggled against it so much instead of finding freedom and peace within. Yes, often I have succeeded in being the eye of the storm. However, there are enough times that I resisted. I seem to keep recreating variations of the scenario until I figure out how to be totally fine and accepting of it. Perhaps then, I can manifest that tropical jungle beach that I so desire – that place that has been calling me for over 15 years! Another tricky part, for me, is not being attached to the outcome – BEing at peace right where I am in this NOW…no matter what. 

I feel we are all on this Hero’s Journey. Collectively, we answered the call to experience this adventure called Life as a Human. We’ve encountered and surmounted one challenge after another. Eventually, we are transformed and return Home to Source. Let us be kind to each other on the voyage. Understand that each has an individual adventure but it is ultimately all our adventure too as we are all ONE. Perhaps what we don’t like so much in another is a reflection of something inside us that we’d rather not admit and try to hide. When we come to that acknowledgement, we can have more compassion both for them and for ourselves. Perhaps we would like to see more of something in our surroundings – more love, more peace, more understanding, more joy. Maybe the solution is as simple as BEing more of that ourselves. As we exude more love, peace, understanding, and joy, it flows through all creation as we are all connected. We are all ONE. 

Serendipitous Reminder in Aloha Land

As ONE, we can create A Whole New Beautiful World! Won’t you join me in this new year of 2025 in BEing the change we wish to see on this planet? Help me BE love, peace, understanding, and joy. BEing One, we are all in this together. As Ram Dass so eloquently put it, “We’re all just walking each other Home.” 

Enjoying the holidays with family and friends has been a blessing for me. There is just nothing that compares to a 10 month-old baby’s wondrous new experience of the magic of the holidays. My Christmas miracle happened in a totally unanticipated manner. A reconnection hike with a friend (of two and a half decades) resulted in her inviting me to stay at her house. I am so grateful for the kindness of Kathy and her husband in hosting me while I research my next tropical adventure! 

Although I am considering a range of possibilities, I am particularly exploring

from a new angle. I am looking to be a caretaker of a private island – obviously with a jungle beach! If you have any ideas or connections that might lead to this opportunity, I would be most grateful to hear from you! Infinite gratitude to all you wonderful people who have, and continue to, assist me on my journey. I could not have made it this far all alone.
