When life is not how we want it to be

Many of us are having difficulty finding solid ground with our plans and ideas in these times of change. We may be feeling a lack of control – like something bigger is encroaching on our space.
 
Some of us are yelling and screaming, demanding solutions, wanting to know what is going on, and wanting answers to where life is going for us. We are hanging on tight to our present reality and lifestyle in our daily lives.
 
We may be questioning our governments and structures of order and control as to where they are taking us – some feeling safe, others enraged and defiant.
 
Helplessness, fear, anger, grief – all these emotions are being experienced as our present-day structures come more and more unstable …
 
Some kneel in prayer, asking for answers and for the wellbeing of our families, communities and countries, while expressing gratitude is a practice for many of us each day.
 
Holding up high a vision of hope for the future for ourselves and future generations is a way through these times.
 
It can seem like a lot is being asked of us in letting go of how we want life to be. 

Many of us have sacrificed a lot to gain a particular lifestyle. And we may have strong beliefs and conditioning that comes from the daily expectation of success, wealth and abundance.
 
We have a picture in our mind’s eyes of how we want life to be, and we have worked very hard to gain certain achievements – education, degrees, jobs, possessions. Our sense of belonging and self-worth are wrapped up in this picture that was promised to us.
 
And we are being asked to reconsider this picture of how life is meant to be.
 
Something big is taking place for the human race. 

Looking back on our own family systems, we can see the extraordinary journey of our ancestors – immigration, genocide, slavery, wars etc. We often hold tears for our ancestors’ journey within us, due to trauma being passed on from generation to generation.
 
Families have struggled for equality – culture, colours, race, gender – in having a say in the way life was and is for us all.
 
Collective trauma is shining a light on the way forward, showing us the separation of love. 

There are large systems in place here – evolution is asking more of us. Because of what has been lived behind us, we are able to open up to evolve. We are able to hold a deeper meaning and reality of life, healing the past, standing strong in the present, holding future generations in our hearts with love, balance and order.
We, humanity, are on time to expand the reality of who we are and our understanding of that. A bigger picture is needing to be acknowledged and accepted, giving a voice to the extraordinary time of completion of the old story of our existence and the birth of a new story for humanity.
 
This is not your choice it is about us – humanity – evolving as a species.
 
This often not what you are wanting in your life – you had your life all planned out. 

We have been debating about climate change over the last few years, as if we are bigger than life itself, as if we can control, manipulate and dominate the larger forces of existence.
 
Mother Earth is held from greater forces of life than we have known, and we are being asked to align with these forces, to walk a journey of expansion in our thinking, to open our hearts within our daily lives and realities – this what is being asked of us in this time in history.
 
Who is doing this asking? It is from a very deep part of you that is connected to the evolution of humanity.
 
The human spirit is strong and will find a way forward in this time in history. 

We, humanity, are experiencing on Mother Earth this extraordinary time together. This time of the COVID-19 virus – one race in this movement, the human race. The journey forward will have many faces – voices – debates.
 
It will be an emotional roller coaster ride for many, with separation and division taking place. This is all we have known – this hand will hang on tight to feel safe, exerting it’s power to maintain control in the wave of this change.
 
Humanity will ride the wave through these times as one race of people … 

Yet countries, cultures and people will ride this wave differently. There is instability in the old structure globally – this can be felt in our guts, fear holding on tight. Living in a place of not knowing will be part of the ride.
 
The present reality of progress, stability, abundance, will be questioned by many. Control, order and balance will slowly unmask its presence as we begin to face life from a bigger picture.
 
Humanity will ride this wave. Your families haves ridden extraordinary waves of change before you, so you will have the courage, strength and resilience to draw on, from what has been lived before and passed onto you.
 
Your own uniqueness – your loyalty to the old structure – how you see life, what makes sense to you will be challenged within you some days.
 
There can be a love of what life has given you – acknowledge this and have gratitude. Respect what has been fought for you – honour this. Bow your head. Holding on in the wave of change to what you have and know is a natural process.
 
Be alert, be aware, be open – the wave will teach us much and take us to new places of who we are.
 
 
Having information and education with words like alignment, vibration, DNA activation, completion of the old and birth of the new is of no interest to many – for the movement in you is to survive the wave of change taking place in your life.
 
The natural process of life will take you to a new places. And your acceptance of life not being what you want it to be will ask more of you. Your connection to your self, family and community will be a great resource for you.
 
Respect and honour in place here for the unique expression of you.
 
Many have been waiting for this time – this wave of change for humanity. 

Some have been born with the knowing of an extraordinary time of change in their lifetime and have lived not always connected or belonging in what is known as mainstream daily reality.
 
Some have experienced extraordinary life change through illness, the death of a loved one etc.
 
When life changes in a heartbeat – this can take people on a journey of questioning the importance of their values in life. For some, this is like an awaking to a deeper part of themselves, often expressed in a spiritual journey.
 
There are many that have been healing deep inner pain, trauma inside themselves, to free themselves to live a productive life. There has been a pull to do this; it is not a logical process – a deep feeling from the human heart to free itself from the collective traumas of our family system. As a humanity, we are born into a traumatised field, a place of separation.
 
Heart-based businesses have been created globally through many who feel a calling to do so.
 
There are many who talk about this time as an awakening for humanity. 

Then there are others – vision holders, wisdom keepers, medicine women and men, mystics, elders, shamans, spiritual teachers, healers – coming together with the same reality of the winds of change for humanity to support the issues we all face as a species.
 
Then others, ordinary woman and men, who are experiencing a phenomenal opening to deep knowing and wisdom about this extraordinary time, having insights to a bigger picture of evolutionary process for our global family.
 
What is wanting to express through you in this time in history – it may be not what you want, but it’s what is wanting to create through you. 

This will take a great deal of courage, resilience and strength from you. Total commitment to your own evolution and the natural process of evolution as a global family – humanity.
 
The deep pull in you to be true to yourself will expand and your doubts, fears and wanting to hide will be asked to stand still. You will be asked to stand up, show up, give a voice to who you are as a blessing for future generations.
 
Leadership with sacred vision is being called for. This call is from a deep place, from Mother Earth, from the ancients of long ago, from larger systems of love and connection. You are being called to fully open your heart to hold a higher intelligence of love. This is a vibration, not a word. It is a place of connection, a belonging – no one is excluded.
 
Separation does not live in this vibration of love. Humility and grace hold the space. We hold this vibration of love within us when we open our hearts fully and find this new way forward…
Each person having their place in the completion of the old and the birth of the new story for humanity.
 
Over the last few decades, many people have been asked to stand up, to write books and educate others about the reality of this extraordinary time of change for humanity – the expansion of human consciousness and the evolutionary pulse within our heartbeat being respected and expressed in new ways as we move forward. This reality is now.
 
The wisdom keepers are singing ‘it is time’.
