   Grounded Esoteric Teachings for Everyday Life
| An Invitation to Step Into your Life...
We are living in accelerated times! The rate of change is Exponentially increasing allowing the opportunity for thoughts to become reality at an increased velocity. Many of us are becoming more and more aware of the changes that are occurring on our planet and in our lives, while many still are living in resistance and avoidance of impending changes. Many of you are breaking the patterns. The deep seeded patterns that have been handed down from generation to generation; repetitive cycles of un-heathly impressions, wounding and a culture that does not nurture life or our inner depths. This breaking of patterns simultaneously coupled with the re-emergence of ancient systems of knowledge, healing and wisdom sciences over a world wide web -or- a collective planetary culture is what I am calling the New Renaissance. This renaissance offers us a choice, and that set of choices leads us to the end of the cycles of abuse, of ignorance, of excessive consumption and disregard for life. More and more, we are collectively making new choices. The old paradigm is a paradigm or scarcity, of competition, of fear and survival based realities. It sees nature as separate and to be exploited. It sees the external world as a place that we have to control, manipulate and dominate in order to have safety and our needs met. This dog-eat-dog paradigm says, someone has to lose in order to win. This is a life created from the delusion of the ego-mind. When we live from our Soul, we have inherent reverence for all of life. When we touch the fulfillment of our soul we realize we have everything we already need and see the futility of trying to control the external universe. The old ways of relating, controlling and dominating are crumbling in their own organic way. The structure as WE know it is dying. Do you want to cling to a corpse or birth a new way of relating? There for its not about revolution or protest. Its about CREATION! WE get to create something so new, that the old way of suffering and exploitation are no longer appealing. We get to start to build the new for our self in our own life, and then the old ego choices no longer have a foot hold in reality. We come to see that we do not need to control, manipulate and dominate the external world to have our needs met. Our world gets to be created from the inside out. I feel this deeply in my soul and have come to know this through direct experience. We need not rebel against anything outside; our rebellion is an inner one, one against our own conditioning. The mechanistic programing that has created automatic responses to life. That has sucked the spontaneity out of this creative cosmic dance. This fear of death, avoidance of pain and clinging to familiarity needs to be confronted with love, not only outside but deep within. This choice to create something new takes courage as we leave old paradigms of dogma, false power and oppression. This choice brings us into direct contact as the co-creator of our own story and destiny. The New Renaissance is now! Now is the time. BECOME the change. Many would have you believe it is a time of apocalypse; but the root of this word simply means 'unveiling, or uncovering'. Essentially we get to face reality and truth..."and the truth shall set you free!". Leave dogma behind and enter into the Gnosis of direct spiritual experience! Spiritual concepts are dead unless experienced. Come to know your inner-unchanging-deathless self. Find that inner creativity, that endless well spring of vitality and inspiration. Come to feel the great spirit that moves through all things and the cosmic laws that govern the universe. Find the courage of your heart and the power of love. We are a becoming a planetary community. What we do locally effects the web of life. Now is the time to strengthen our bond and our communities. To put aside our ego, in the hope to create something that the world has not seen yet; something that will keep our Earth a blue and green home for the generations to come. As the hopi prophecy has stated "WE ARE THE ONES WE HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR". We are asked to revisit the ideals of love, peace and exploration and INTEGRATE them in a mature way. We are being asked to re-visit these ancient wisdom sciences such as YOGA, Qi Gong and Shamanism and integrate them IN Relationship; to ourselves, each other and within this modern world.
