    By Amaya Gayle

    Sedona, AZ — I’ve been contemplating the way forward, where to most effectively place our time and talent, our energy and focus, the treasures of this lifetime, as the template of fear continues to play out, as it ramps up in its chaotic resistance to the natural unfolding of awakening, be it awakened ones and twos, thousands, or a planetary shift as some believe.

    It is likely that what we are seeing now is only the tip of the iceberg.  Chaos reigns in the in-between, the time between the passing of the old and the arrival of the new. What is true at one level is true at all levels, so watching the smaller shifts in consciousness is a great way to see what might be headed our way.

    If I only look at my own path, the struggle and heartbreaks that heralded in a totally new way of being, that would be enough to show me that a bigger shift, an all-encompassing shift, is likely to be rough. An understatement, for sure. I’m guessing you could say the same.

    The possibility that arose today is that a further, truly unbreakable stabilization as Infinite Aliveness is taking place. Not that long ago that would have seemed unlikely. Life does what it does, and I’m not in charge of its direction, so stabilizing anything is kind of a joke, but what I am noticing in my life is that Aliveness seems to naturally gravitate towards stabilization when I don’t get in the way with my how it should and shouldn’t be’s.

    I read a comment today that said something to the effect of, happiness requires nothing; unhappiness though, requires a story. It’s a riff on what Gangaji ( I think it was Gangaji 😉) used to say — Don’t touch it.

    I am finding that I am less and less interested in touching things, things like concepts and stories, my old store of improved world necessities. Life’s happenings come, they go, and I experience the coming and the going without the need to tack my add-on stories to the appearances.

    This is new to me, or at least new in the past four years and it seems to be more and more stable.

    Ever since the first opening, the first epiphany, the first clear seeing of how we humans sabotage life, the need to touch life has been winding down, slowly at first, but picking up speed as more and more sightings of how the mind makes it all up feed into our bags of experiences. We are stabilizing, grounding a different reality.

    So really, preparing the way forward, requires nothing, no made-up stories, no concepts of right and wrong, no touching and massaging the moment right in front of me.

    What’s fun, is that leaves me floating in a vat of unconditional love and really, what does the world need more of if not unconditional love?

    You see, we are unconditional love. That is what we are remembering, what we’ve always been and forgotten. The spiritual path is the remembering. The only things that conceal it are the ideas and concepts we have about how life is and should be.

    As we stand in the unforgiving chaos, arms open, hearts embracing it all, the love we are changes the world, one interaction at a time. We don’t have to do anything. We simply have to see that love has this, love has us, and trust love to do whatever doing needs to be done.
