How to Gracefully Walk into the Emerging New World...Now

 

 

 

 

 

 

Change is happening! A sweeping, life-altering transformation is well under way. Even as old-world structures crumble around us, a new world–bright with possibilities–is already rising. We can begin walking in this beautiful new world, this spiritual renaissance, now. Go to article "An Urgent Wake-up Call."

What will it take to make this shift? Our old assumptions no longer serve us, and we’re looking for new and better explanations and laws to apply. In a nutshell, we’re entering a period of love, brotherhood, and peace. I know, that’s still really hard to believe, but it’s true. It’s essential that we move from a focus on the material to a focus on the spiritual, that we move from competition to brotherhood, and that we move from fear to love. So, here are some steps you can take right now to begin living in the new world:

Here are five steps you can take:

1.) Release all of your outdated beliefs and attachments--all of them. (Go to article "Releasing Attachments.")

2.) Open your heart. Go into your heart and embrace your brothers and sisters, Mother Earth, and Spirit or Being.

3.) Simplify your life. Reduce your consumption, your use of resources, and your dependence on others.

4.) Harmonize with Mother Earth and Spirit. Reconnect with the natural world around you and open yourself to guidance.

5.) Recognize and accept grace–trust! Open to the possibility of receiving even more grace.

Release Your Attachments

Most important changes you make in this world are made inside yourself. Of those, one of the very most import internal changes is to release your attachments to the people, things, beliefs, judgments, and outcomes in your life. To picture those attachments, imagine strands of your energy running from you to the people, things, and beliefs you rely on to define your identity (your job, your family, your lover, your friends, your home, your personality, your appearance, etc.)--I'm sure you'll recognize those people, things, and beliefs in your own life.

You can tell you're attached if you need something to turn out a particular way for you to feel okay about yourself (e.g., your lover has to stay with you). Those attachments cause you to resist making choices and taking actions that might jeopardize your desired outcomes (e.g., denial, not telling the truth). They distract you from seeing what is important.

The only way out of attachment is to let go--release. Draw back those strands of energy you extend to hold, influence, and control people, things, and outcomes for your own personal ends. You can use imagery to draw back your attachments and free yourself--and others. I describe that process my article Releasing Attachments. Let go of your attachments and you'll pass through the many changes we face with much greater ease.
