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.

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 now:

1.) Release all of your outdated beliefs and attachments (the things you cling to to define yourself)–all of them.

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 the 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.

Let Go of Separation

We are part of a whole--a oneness. This is not a spiritual platitude: It is a reality. We not only inhabit this earth, we are integral parts of this earth. We are the conscious beings who, along with the other parts of this magnificent interdependent system, represent the fulfillment of billions of years of evolution. Similarly, we and this earth we live on are part of a unimaginably complex and extensive universe. This symphony of existence originated from one common source, and constantly unfolds in one ever-expanding flow of diversity and consciousness.

We are not--we cannot be--separate from anyone or anything...period. We have simply misperceived reality. In order to let go of our imagined separation we will need to release anything that separates us. In fact, the only things that separate us from the reality of our oneness are our own separating beliefs, judgments, prejudices, attachments, and fears.

Put simply, we must empty ourselves of all of the separating beliefs, judgments, and prejudices that we hold. Begin by making a list of the separating beliefs, judgments, and prejudices that you already recognize in yourself, and challenge and release those. Next, notice your daily reactions to the people and world around you to discover the remainder, and release those as well. Lift the veils of filtering misperceptions, and oneness will become apparent.
