Overcoming Inertia

When you begin to move into the Light there are many anxious moments as you begin to realize that many of your old beliefs may not necessarily be in sync with what you had assumed to be so.  Many false assumptions are built upon a house of cards with previous erroneous beliefs being the supporting members. When all of the things you believed to be true begin to crumble around you, how do you find the solid ground you require to begin again on a firmer foundation?

We might suggest that you begin with the only thing that is inconvertibly true which is God, which is Love. If something is not based upon a Loving intention then it can only be illusionary. How many of the things in your life fail to measure up to this simple test of authenticity? Those that are based upon anything but a Loving premise are not real because they do not reflect a Loving God and are destined to disappoint and crumble under pressure in the future. Can something be founded upon Loving intent but fail to measure up because of the people involved – certainly. The element of free-will is always at work and it behooves you to scrutinize the participants of any venture as well as the ideals upon which is based.

There is also the aspect of timing. Many a good idea has failed to “catch on” due to the effect that customers may not be ready to accept the new mindset that is necessary to use something that is essentially good in nature. In order for people to switch their thinking and their lifestyle, they have to believe that any costs or risks are greatly outweighed in comparison to the present. Just comparable is not good enough to override the trappings of the status quo. Change requires effort and if nothing is perceived to be worth the effort, change will not happen.

This is what is happening on spiritual realms as well. If one sees no value in switching beliefs and exploring greater possibilities, nothing is going to change that belief system. It will take a monumental shift, either imposed or voluntary before inertia can be overcome. Do we have to reach a doomsday scenario before those placid participants become motivated enough to seek higher, safer ground? If one can see that the old is not working as desired, it stands to reason that only by doing things differently will you obtain different results. There comes a point where Band-aids on the problem are no longer acceptable and all would be well served to stand back and see what the greater ramifications of the process at hand are before making another assault upon the same area of play.

The game of life is not that much different from those on the field. It takes skill, daring, and guts to pull off an event that will not be anticipated and blocked by the opponent. Perhaps that is what is lacking in competitive activities. There is no common approach for working together to find new ways of solving problems of mutual interest. We have been told that we all have all we need to achieve our fondest dreams if only we are willing to put aside the illusions of separation and pool our ideas and resources in pursuit of a common goal. When energy is redirected from finding ways of disabling the opposition and instead working together in pursuit of excellence of all individuals as participants in the universal puzzle solving, the tools will have come into form that will facilitate ascension. Since all are trying to get through the same doorway, there are many different ways of being and working/playing together if we honor and appreciate the diverse ways we have of being in the field of life.

Begin to step back from the events in your life and “brainstorm” with your neighbor to see if there is not a better way to co-create a more evolved process of life together.  If things are not working to our satisfaction, that is likely to continue to be the case until all parties are willing to put aside the ego barriers and find ways of sharing in the solutions for tomorrow’s world. All is not as it seems and the more eyes you have looking at a situation, the higher the likelihood that some of them are attached to a soul who hears the voice of God whispering a new play to be brought into the game. It is in the stillness and the peace of thoughtful moments that the folly of our actions is realized and the possibilities for creating a more evolved world will emerge. Shhhh…Listen…
