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 Release all of your outdated beliefs and attachments--all of them.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.

Trust

The major reason we spend our time worrying about the future instead of remaining solidly rooted in the present is that we don't trust. We fear that things won't turn out as we hope they will, or believe that they should. We take responsibility for outcomes, and then attempt to control them. When you think about it, we actually control very few of the most important things in our lives (the radiance of the sun, the beating of our hearts, the love of others). That's probably fortunate, since the truth is we don't really know how things should turn out--even in our own lives.

Trust does not require proof or certainty. It isn't necessary that we understand everything--why things are as they are, how they operate, or why they operate the way they do--before we trust. To trust is to accept that everything is unfolding as it should--even if it doesn't appear that way from our limited perspectives.

Trust is something we offer from our side. We take a leap of faith that we are safe in the arms of an embracing universe. Once we take that leap, it allows us to let go of responsibility for outcomes we will never control--no matter how hard we try--and relax into the perfection of life.
