The Inner Revolution (We did it!)

The Inner Revolution
Life has been a major roller coaster ride these
past few weeks. We are feeling and witnessing a inner revolution of duality. Our
inner and outer worlds are transforming right before our eyes. I can feel the
light flooding back into the collective at such a huge rate that I can hardly
contain myself. Today the world is beginning to be re-born. It might be a bit
premature to say this . . . but kids . . . we did it! The first domino has
fallen, prompting not just a "trickle down effect," but an avalanche into a new
world where the masses will be unified, and each will be honored. Freedom,
truth, and integrity, love and peace are pouring down on this new emerging
dimension, and we all get to be a part of history in the making. This is such an
amazing time to be walking on this earth. We have been waiting for this for a
long time.
Of course my excitement and exhilaration comes from the recent
good news of Egypt obtaining freedom in only 18 short days. I am in absolute awe
of the power of what a unified collective can do. We are rising up to a higher
playing field as current events as shown us what we can accomplish in a short
time if we simply stick together within a common goal. Because of these recent
events, I feel even MORE assured that our peaceful transition into a wonderful
new world is at hand. We have had our first major example that this is
true.
We have earned our renaissance, rebirth, regeneration, and
reawakening. This new day is possible because of many brave ones who have gone
before us in the fight for love, peace, truth, human rights and equality. My
hero short list . . . Mahatma Gandhi, Martin Luther King, Mother Theresa,
Jeshua, the Beatles . . . even Woodstock and all the flower power hippies! Now I
have to add to the growing list . . . a young google employee armed with social
media that has catalyzed Egypt's version of the Berlin Wall. We all know now
that even an entrenched and well-established regime of darkness has no control
over us. Freedom is possible for one and all. The happenings of these past 18
days felt like Gandhi on steroids. He would be so proud. It was
spectacular.
Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the decision
that something else is more important than fear. ~ Ambrose Redmoon
As
this peaceful revolution was going on in Egypt, I have to admit that a not so
peaceful inner revolution was going on inside of me. A revolution began to
awaken something inside of me. I was taking a long over-due retreat, yet my body
was having huge panic attacks. I felt agitated, my chest hurt, my heart was
racing, I could not sleep, and I was out of sorts. I felt that I was losing
it.
Alongside the horrific panic that I was feeling, I also felt a deep
calm . . . almost too calm. I was confused how my body could be reacting one way
and my spirit/soul another. In the middle of the night . . . lying there
sleepless again, I had a revelation. I remembered something that I already knew,
but just remembered. This panic was the primal survival energy of my genetic
code, DNA, and the programs of this mortal body. On the complete polar opposite
side of this was my eternal higher self that lives in timelessness and knows
that all IS, and will BE, well. This was the clearest I have ever experienced my
higher self.
I know that if I am feeling this now, then many of you are
too, as we all connected, if we like it or not. What happens to one happens to
all at some level. This inner revolution has been essential in helping us get in
touch with our polar opposites. Now that we are becoming clearer about the light
inside of us, we are also seeing the dark ego dissolving away, kicking and
screaming all the way. It is the end of our inner dark regime! How cool is that!
Now we have the ability to make better choices . . . choices from love and trust
instead of fear and hate. I choose living from my higher self. Hey, I want to
feel good, safe and happy. Don't you? Living from the higher self is certainly
more comfortable and stress free. The higher self is like the quiet peaceful
place in the center of the storm, a peaceful retreat that we can go to anytime .
. . or even better, we can stay there 24/7!
As we learn and grow through
this inner revolution, we will need to support each other. It will be important
to allow everyone their personal unique way of dealing with their inner
revolution. It is easy to let the fear talk through us in these times, instead
of the love in our hearts. So we need to forgive ourselves when we fall short of
our spiritual expectations. I hope we can all be as authentic and real as
possible rather than always trying to be perfectly spiritual. After all, we are
all spiritual beings having a human experience. Each one of us has a different
way of learning, understanding and waking up, but we do have the same
destination. So don't get all in a bunch if fear grips you for a time. Hey, I
get wigged out sometimes too. :) It is human and part of the normal process of
waking up. It is the catalyst that helps us wake up. I can't help but feel the
magnitude of the importance of this inner and outer revolution and what we have
and will learn from it. It will be vitally important as the new world (and
Egypt) transforms around us in the years to come.
P.S. We leave for Egypt
in 3 weeks. I missed most of the 60's, Woodstock and the Berlin Wall. I am not
going to miss this. The funny thing is that I knew I would be going back to a
new Egypt . . . but at the time I arranged our Egypt pilgrimage, I didn't know
what that meant until these past two weeks.

One evening an old Cherokee told his grandson
about a
battle that was going on inside himself.
He said, "My son, it is between two
wolves....
One is evil: Anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance,
self-pity, guilt, resentment,
inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority and
ego.
The other is good: Joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility,
kindness,
benevolence, empathy, generosity,truth, compassion and
faith".
The grandson thought about it for a minute and then
asked his
grandfather: "Which wolf wins?"
The old Cherokee simply replied: "The one I
feed".
