What Now?
Happy Now Year. A brief metaphysical response for the conscious mind to play with and a few questions to ponder. It might not be what you 'think'!
If you, like me, look for a little guidance on stepping into another 365 days, here is the answer to my question, What now? - as I write on the brink of the New Year. Perhaps what came through will speak to you too.
Archangel Michael Presents
Thank you for your attention, Michelle. Yes, we see you. Resistance is futile and always brings about what you don’t want. That which you resist grows.
Yes, the analogy of an armload of resistance blocking entry to the higher realms is accurate. Continue to avoid becoming entangled in other’s discomfort. Honoring all is your growth, and their experience is theirs - their opportunity and potential.
The answer to your question is Now. Your focus is to be now.
The day is beautiful and the evening glorious. Are they not?
You are nourished and loved.
Trust that what was is not the path.
Your healing and transformation are right on schedule. More will come and always in Divine Right Timing.
Is there something to do? I ask.
No. Be. As you learn to put down your worries, fears and anxieties around the future, the days will unfold along your new path. This path seems ‘new’ but in truth, it is eons old, awaiting you to claim what is rightfully yours.
The Tao Te Ching and Being
I am then directed to The Tao, teachings of the natural way of the universe:
This darkness is any form of un-enlightenment, including resistance to being, and to experience this passage is the right of all individuals as souls in human form. All internal conflicts are an invitation to step back (from Ego). Create some time to turn inwards to answer the following questions:
What would I really like to do?
How would I like this/life to be?
The answers are to help build a vision that creates a point of feeling which invites ease and flow. Our ability to change our attitude is the reminder that the world is not ‘out there’. It is simply a projection of our belief system.
A Quick Tidy Up for the Conscious Mind
The Tao teaches self-cultivation of character and urges us not to waste energy on self-criticism. Consider the following to allow a better projection:
Compulsively proving ourselves is an egoic distraction from going within.
Seek truth.
Live without pretence.
Be curious.
Nurture unique talents, and create solitude to be.
Watch life’s panorama with patience, acceptance, and good humor without criticism. We are all here to remember unconditional love. To learn compassion and detachment as we witness others finding their way along their Divinely guided path.
Stop Trying
Live with courage of convictions and be. The doing follows from being in the moment, in harmony, feeling spontaneity, finding ironies, humor, play, compliments, and surprises, as we are more enthusiastically ourselves.
Live Creatively
What seems like surrender, produces greater success as we release struggle and allow flow. Peace follows as we are freed of inner conflict, creating natural energy and enthusiasm. This natural enthusiasm then allows us to begin a new cycle of creation.
A Message for All
I am taken to the lyrics from What the World Needs Now, by Jackie De Shannon to sum up:
What the world needs now is love, sweet love;
It's the only thing that there's just too little of;
What the world needs now is love, sweet love;
No not just for some, but for everyone.
It might look a little cheesy but it sure makes sense in our 3D human-ness and the immersion in the illusion of separation that can be witnessed in so many arenas on this beautiful earth.
Love, love all, and love well.
This version is sung in the simple, but divine tones of Dionne Warwick.
Blessed be.
With gratitude for all that is,
Michelle x
