Another day, another decade

So what was all that about? If your next decade is to be really amazing, how is it starting to shape up in your inner world. Dare you ask for what you really want?
I look upon this next decade with a sense of anticipation, confident in a continuation of consciousness and the playground that surrounds us; for what else is there to do but play? We play out our hopes and fears and the world responds inviting us to play a little more. And we respond to its calling?
For this is the dance that you are engaged in, you can vary the tempo and strike a new note, but the dance continues, an endless revelry. So stride forth glad confident morning. Bring yourself on. What can you do but be?

Eyes wide open as you walk into

Let's take a walk into the next decade. As you imagine yourself walking flowingly through a beautiful 2010, what comes up for you professionally, personally, in the rest of your life? What do you see, how does it feel and what if it gets even better: what a bit more specific?
Make a little more time and walk into 2011 ... 12 ... 13 and on and on. Does it get bigger, brighter, more beautiful? What makes you feel the best? There, that's it. And now it's time to go there.

The Christ light

And the Christ light is born, where? In each of us. Where exactly? In our hearts. And how does that come about? Love recognises love, and knows that it is, and everything else ebbs away.
You can feel this love in any moment. It's always here, promising to envelope you. So why did he come? To show us the way. And which way is that? It is the way of your life.
Are you ready to take a little walk?

The power of a droplet

Ho, hum, we prevent ourselves from swimming with the flow that is all around us, even feeling it. We imagine ourselves to be separate, and that has its own piquancy, but it also stimulates resistance, and there's the rub.
We imagine that what is out there is out there and what is in here is in here, when actually, there is just one big soup.
So there is something wonderful to look forward to: the best of both worlds. Seeing a world of apparent separateness yet sensing the connection. "Being in the world but not of it." Feeling the power of the ocean yet retaining the power of a droplet.

Love, actually

Who are you here to be? You are here to be love. And when you are love you are in love and love is coursing through you, and where would you rather be. And when you are love you have the qualities of love. You are unconstrained, without limit, floating in this soup of beingness. And how would you rather be?
So this, exactly this, is your calling. So what is the mystery? We could say that it is how long it takes us to get that, but hey, what a beautiful journey. Would you not have walked this way?

The permeable and the impermeable

Here you are floating through the miasma. It's all around you, energy everywhere infusing everything. And it is in you too, you are part of it, and you cannot get out of it and you cannot get it out of you.
Yet at another level, you are the observer of all of it. Nothing touches you. The permeable and the impermeable.
And as movement meets stillness there you are on the cusp. One touching the other. The other touching one. Rather delicate, wouldn't you say?

Love it all

Most especially of all, love the bits of life that you don't like! The people who irritate you. The Government that got on your wick. Without your love, they can't change. They just remain stuck. But love changes everything. It thaws the fixedness and enables this and that to rejoin the flow of live.
That's why it makes great sense to love our enemies, if we ever had any. So get yourself into that loving space, the place from which love can be sent, and then let it emanate hither and thither. Happy Christmas.

Playing in tune

Like footballers energetically disputing a referee's decision, we resist the world. But the referee never changes his mind and sometimes books the disputants. Now, we dispute the way the world is every time we resist it, and we don't need to do so. In fact, it is completely counterproductive. Just love it exactly the way that it is. And love the disputants too!
Having deeply accepted the present moment, you can let go of it - it's not you - and let go of your attachment to it that has been helping to keep it the way that it is. Whatever you don't like, love it and let go of it, and it will fade away. Fret about it and it will stay, confused by your attention, seeking a resolution to the dischord that is in you. Lovingly surrender - no-one else has to know you are doing this - and you can play in tune.

Spaceman

Always and everywhere there is a space. It is inner space. You carry it with you wherever you go and you can access it now. It is in front of the inner you, beside you and behind. You can rejoice in this unchanging spaceness. Philosophically speaking, that's it.
So while all around you are losing their heads, you are impermeable, imperturbable, and vaguely impertinent. The world can do its thing and you can dance with it or watch it waltz by.

Flickering in the Winds of Change

Well, life is all around and death too. One embracing the other as lovers do. In every moment there is creation, and creation also implies destruction. What wasn't is and what was isn't, and life continues on the fly. And yet permeating through all the changing remains the unchanging. Still, so still.
Beyond the cycle of life and death, is simply being. And this is still conscious. It just is. And yet it expands from perfection into the undulations of activity, and there ... there are promise and demise, flickering in the winds of change.
Wha! What a space to be in. What a way to manifest! Be this, be that, and at the same time, know you are neither. You are neither the dust you infuse with life nor the shambling personality you have hired for a while.
So there is a way to be free even while you are here. Let it all flow, surrender to the knowing, give it all up and rejoice in the texture of the world, while you may.

A Loving Return

A miracle. Conscious again. Noticing what I am noticing and sensing more of the flow of the world. You know it will carry you where you want to be carried? In fact, it does. That's what it is always doing. Now you can resist the flow, go with the flow, or co-create the flow, and the latter is so much more, well, flowy. And how do you do that?
Treat the world gently, even lovingly and it whispers to you. It also, surprise, surprise, loves you back; and like a lover it loves to delight you. And this is here now.
