Day 5, 22 Days of Transformation, March 4th 2010
On Sunday we stepped through a doorway into a new unlimited space and we planted the seed of something we want to transform. On Monday we gave the seed some breathing space by relaxing and expanding the space in our being. On Tuesday we nourished the seed with the energy of our presence and on Tuesday we shone the radiance of our gratitude on it and added the compost of our rich life experience.
Now we are going to leave the seed and let it grow. On Day 22 we’ll check back in and see what we have grown. Until then let’s leave it be to do its work.
And meanwhile we go off to explore the new territory we are in and to discover what kind of creators we are.
Consider the power of the imagination. Think about all the amazing things human beings have created throughout history: the architecture, music, art, literature, science, engineering, transport, communications. And on and on, we are so ingenious, endlessly creative and inventive. Isn’t that one of the qualities that distinguishes humans from other beings, our capacity to make and create and invent and keep pushing back the boundary of what is possible?
Today I invite you into the limitless possibilities of the imagination, a playground in which you are the creator. I encourage you to create a world in your imagination where you feel very safe and totally free; where you feel nourished and excited and extended.
What kind of creator are you? Are you a pioneer who likes to journey and discover what exists? Or one who listens inside for inner direction and guidance? Are you an inventor who combines raw materials and ideas to create something which didn’t exist before? Perhaps you are an artisan with a gift for producing practical handsome artefacts from natural materials, or an artist who loves to discover and draw out beauty?
The only limits to the imagination are those we impose. What we can imagine we can create. The choice to create, to be a creator, is available at all times. We need only choose it. We each create in our own unique way and bring our unique gifts into the world. When we bring our gifts together we create community, abundance for all. Life is calling us now to follow our passion, to bring our whole selves into manifestation, to live our highest dream. Do you hear the call?
We are being called to become One Global Family
Only a transformation of consciousness will ensure our survival as a species and an adequate quality of life for future generations. It’s a shift from “me” and “mine” to “all of us are in this together.”
All over the world, people are waking up to the need to discover and create new ways of co-existence on Planet Earth. We recognize the problems faced by humanity are shared, and solutions will only be found by moving towards new ways of experiencing ourselves as One Global Family.
The Shift: From feeling trapped by circumstances to the recognition life is a journey of courage trust and discovery, and we are creators capable of making conscious choices. When we hear the call of the inner life, and set out on our journey to find life’s meaning and purpose, we learn to travel in deeper and more radical trust, shedding old psychological skins and our need to be in control. As we become simpler, we experience at a deeper level our essential loving nature and the interconnectedness of everything. We realize there are myriad possibilities latent in each moment, and peace of mind and fulfillment rest, not so much in having what we want, as in consciously choosing to be aligned with authentic values.
From Living your Passion: How Love-in-action is seeding a Whole New World, by Rose Diamond
“In every journey may you ask… what is it you will be… a tourist or an explorer?” ~[ma]™ maryann rademacher
I choose to explore, to experience, to feel that which is and that which is to come.
As Rose spoke this morning, I started out on the ground ready for a grande adventure to place unknown. I was definitely in tropical splendor. I had my walking stick, my water bottle, sturdy shoes, a hat .. I was prepared . Then, with 1 breath , I was a nymph in gossamer dress with iridescent wings flitting from flower to flower, spot to spot but not in an identifiable landscape. Then again, within a breath, I was on the back of beloved hawk and then seeing through her eyes.
my interpretation:
in the tropical splendor, I was experiencing things known to me in the now.
as the nymph, I was expressing curiosity about things yet experienced, places yet traveled.. not staying long … a time of investigation.
as the hawk, a time to look with keen sight at what is presented to me and to hone in on the target. For a hawk, the target is food, for me: the target is the next step in the journey : food for my soul, for my body and for the world that I touch.
WOW! thank you Rose….
I wanted also to comment on what transpired during our first 5 days together. Rose speaks of planting a seed, watering it and then letting it be for a bit.
I encourage each of you to plant something . Literally, a seed of some sort in dirt or water .. Look on this as a symbol of the growth and change in you…
“repotting” , Diana Holman, Ginger Pape, HayHouse is a book that offers steps to a makeover of sorts. When I repot a plant, I remove it from the old pot, wash of the dirt , choose a new and slightly larger pot, add new dirt and some fertilizer,establish the plant back firmly in the soil, water, and put in the window for SUN.. I check back often so that proper moisture and nutrients are available.
I see such an incredible metaphor in the planting and repotting of a physical item as it relates to what is occurring in me.. I can choose to repot that which I am; clear away clutter, shed pounds, discard limiting beliefs. I can choose the new me in which to grow: clean, decluttered, less weight, haircut, new outlook, different connections. Each of these elements must be allowed to grow and blossom but attention must be paid along the way . So it is with a new idea, a new direction: plant in fertile soil, water, give it light.
what seed are you planting today? what in your life are you repotting?
for the first 10 folks who respond , I will send you a packet of seeds of some sort.. go to the new gmail group so that we can communicate!
Later this spring, I will have daylilies to share..
namaste, nancyBe
I had a remarkable experience. I integrated all my past life selves as well as my new higher conscious self in an amazing beach fron area that was like Big Sur.
Awesome!
