an Enlightened horoscope … (02/11/12)
In honor of all the horoscopes & channeled prognostications that are flowing into my inbox these days, I thought I would offer one myself — reminding us all that it is not the “days to come” that are important, but rather that it is THIS MOMENT that is the critical one in our lives … EnJOY!
………………
It has been noted that the theme of Trust runs deep through the month of February. Of course, the theme of Trust runs deep through every month of every living being in the entire Universe. And it is this trust in Trust that keeps most of us shackled into lives of limitation and listlessness. Until we can learn to stop trusting others to perform as we wish them to, and until we can stop trusting ourselves to eventually perform “better” as well, we will never have access to real Happiness in life.
Let it go … We are already ready to be Kind to others, especially those who have not “earned our trust”. Contentment will never come to us if we continue to revisit past wounds or try to heal past relationships. Healing only takes place in those moments when we stop focusing on the “bad things” that others did to us in the past, when we let go of hoping that those people will “shape up” and be good to us in the future — when we instead start focusing on the Good we can do for others — RIGHT NOW.
We will never know wealth until we stop manifesting money for ourselves.
We will never know health until we stop pining for the same.
We will never know peace until we start Caring for our enemies.
Fortunately for us all, the alignment of the stars above us and the behaviors of others around us have absolutely nothing at all to do with our Wealth or our Health or our Happiness.
The time is always right to Give away what little we have to give. The time is always right to go forth and be Kind — and thereby know the state of Bliss that goes far beyond mere “happiness”; the state of Wholeness that goes far beyond mere “health”; and the state of Abundance that goes far beyond mere “wealth”.
And we cannot attain this state of BEing by thinking about it — or meditating on it — or discussing it — or writing about it.
It can only come to us when we set aside all hopes and dreams and desires and fears — and go forth to LIVE IT!
The coffee shop might be the place where you awaken to Friendship & Love, but the coffee shop is not going to be the place where you LIVE IT …
The yoga studio might be the place where you awaken to Oneness, but the yoga studio is not going to be the place where you LIVE IT …
The Internet might be the place where you awaken to your Interconnection with others, but the Internet is not going the place where you LIVE IT.
You will LIVE your Love in the presence of strangers …
You will LIVE your True Self when you face your fears …
You will LIVE your deepest Peace when you actively Forgive those who have wronged you;
… when you actively Give to those who you judge as unworthy;
… when you actively Care for those you normally detest or ignore.
This is the way to attain a sense of real Contentment … the only way to truly “be happy”.
This is the way to attain a sense of real Peace … the only way to truly “be safe”.
This is the way to attain a sense of real Balance in life … the only way to truly “center yourself”.
This is the way to attain a sense of Self-Respect … the only way to truly “Love yourself”.
The time is Right, my friends …
Let us go be the change we wish to See.
Let us go forth today, not as worshipers of the heavens, but as agents of Heaven.
S, out — Peace, in
