JOY TO THE WORLD

This is the season of giving gifts to your loved ones and friends. It's a season of sparkling lights, warm gatherings and celebrating tradition all over the world. It's also the season of over eating, over drinking and over spending. This year is the same as others in that respect, although the over spending part of things continues to intensify. The balance is more and more out of whack. Do you feel that?

I know you can still remember a time when you were carefree and less encumbered by this kind of pressure but that was then and this is now. The world around you has changed; have you changed and found some balance or are you still just reacting by shaking your fist at the sky? Do you feel things pressing in on you, forcing you to change? How you feel can provide you with important information about where you are in the process of balancing the shifts going on around and within you. If it hurts, makes you feel sad, overwhelmed, angry, you have to ask yourself if you are still operating under an old belief system that is no longer in alignment with the changes and cosmos.
Your resistance is where those uncomfortable feelings come from.

I am using the holidays as a metaphor for something bigger and broader and I hope you can see that it ties into a lot of what I have been writing here all year.
The metaphor could apply to politics, religion, personal freedom, civil rights, racism, global warming, media schmedia fear mongers, so-called love and light workers, you name it.

You have come down a long and sometimes agonizing road to a point where you have to connect the dots and see things as they are. The bill has come due and it's past the time to pop the bubble of illusion in which you have been living. If you insist on continuing to exist in the old world with an old worn out belief system, the pressure will increase. The greater the resistance to change, the more force you will feel pressing against you. What does it take to get the message?
As we approach the New Year, you should feel blessed that you are breathing and still here in the incredible earth school, mastering the art of being a boundless spirit having a human experience in physical space-time.

Getting back to my Holiday metaphor, if you are not feeling the joy to the world thing, please take a closer look at the belief operating system you are using. Free yourself from the old patterns and find the joy inside of you. Let the hallelujah spring from within you.

Postscript: You can make New Years resolutions based on the old things you have wanted in the past.....that which is NOW. Finishing the known is where you are now and currently exploring new possibilities perhaps you never thought of before....
There is no greater gift!!
