Rebirth - Go with the flow
(2009)
Goodness. Well just how much of all of this change can we take? It is currently the predominant energy so we can either resist and continue to attempt to control our personal environment or we can allow for the birth that is happening RIGHT NOW - physically, intellectually, psychologically, spiritually, and....
Go with the flow... think of the easiest way to birth - what resonates with you? Imagine a water birth and the rhythm of the oceans. Embrace Mother water and allow her energy to feed you and support this journey of (re)birth into the new environ. Just as the fluidity of our Mothers womb supported us as growing Soul babies, invite in Mother water to support this transition.
Does this sound abstract to you?
In the American Indian way we look to the wisdom of our environment - our planet and our universe and we honor and give thanks to every element and animal. Why do this? Because the American Indian has long since understood that we are not separate from our environment. Does this mean planet earth? Yes and much more. Planet earth and all that is. We are not separate from any of it - not superior - not inferior - simply a part of creation and all there is - all there was and all there is to come. And so as we invite an awareness within ourselves of our environment on all levels, we then come to embrace the reality that we are not separate from the Creator and never have been.
How do we do this?
Just as the many different faiths invite us to connect in prayer not only with the Creator (God) but the other Holy Ones, ie Jesus, Buddha, Angels, Saints etc. In the Native way, remember to honor this planet and the Universe with acknowledgement and gratitude in prayer for all that we receive. Ask in prayer for awareness of the eternal connection to all - so that you may release from a belief of separation - and embrace all possibilities - of creation, goodness and love in (re) birth.
We are being invited to be reborn on all levels - some of us even born (sans the mother's womb) for the first time. We are being invited now to really become aware that we are a part of all that is.
Truth
(2008)
Oh Truth. The "real" state of things. How subjective, how difficult, how unclear. Your Truth is different than mine, or hers, or his or...or is it? All we are called to do is to strip down the personal ego and take a look at what is really real.
No easy task.
I recommend prayer "time" , meditation "time" *- quiet walks in nature to get to the bottom of your own truth. To be completely honest with yourself. How are you living your life? Is it one of integrity? Is your day absent of lies? Do you love unconditionally - including yourself? Do your words and actions belie your internal light? Are you willing to take action to change the current state of who you are and what you present to the world?
Know that you are not alone.
The Divine within each of us wants us to remember the Eternal connection that exists between our human experience and our Spiritual experience. With this connection we can come into alignment with living a life filled with honesty, truth and love. In all things.
Once we have aligned with Truth - we come together as humans - freer, truer and loving. We then all share in Universal Truth and free ourselves from the falseness that would bind us to our temporary ego state. This is a goal - to work toward and become beings of integrity. Beings of unconditional love. Beings without false fears.
This is about being fully present and saying "yes" to this life and to this human experience.
Come to remember and to Know that this life serves purpose in our connection to one another and the Divine. When we identify the truth in our lives and choose to live it we come into alignment with the Divine. Always remember that it is our goal to fully live this - this year's message of Truth is a large opening to this
Universal Truth.
*Prayer and meditation "time" ie. really, really take the time - make a concerted effort, daily or even several times a day, making it a walking prayer or meditation. OK even weekly if that's what you believe that can start with at first as you release from ego (cause that's what you are doing!) You will find the more frequently you practice the more you will receive internally - remember you're connecting with your Soul/Spirit self and the Divine in this practice. You will then be filled with new understanding about yourself and others. Just allow yourself to receive. You will find that you will receive strength and you will know you are supported as you release from any falseness in your life and embrace a life of integrity. You will find that you automatically increase your ability to be present in this world and that your capacity to give (love) increases exponentially.
Being Mindful
(2007)
Being of Mind. Being of thought. Being of choices. We are the "Beings" and as corporeal, thinking, decision making, reasoning, perceptive Beings we must pay close attention to the details of our every day choices and how those choices will affect the collective - the community - human kind and animal kind. How we must walk the walk and talk the talk when we say we want to be a part of healthy REAL change. Grandfather sky, grandmother earth, mother waters, the creepy crawlers, the winged ones, the finned ones, the four leggeds are all asking us to be "Mindful". Actually they have been asking us to return to that level of consciuousness for - well for what really could be considered "forever". Sometimes we humans are woefully slow to change and we accept the status quo because it is comfortable and convenient. But that is viewing life in a relatively Souless fashion (ie disconnect from Soul knowledge, will and direction). Being mindful means to become aware of how our deep feelings (centered and connected in love) commune with our thoughts directly. Once in our mind we weigh our personal life circumstances and make a decision from there. We need to remember ourselves yes, but remember the intricacy and importance of our connection to all else and their is no "I". There is no "my family" and "but my family needs"....
Your family is the world community and no one is excluded from the equation.
And so when we are faced with making these everyday decisions, ie the feelings come up, go to the mind - depending now on what action you decide in your mind to take - that energy circles back down around into your Soul Center. You can now ask yourself one simple question; "Do I feel good? Is this right?" If you find yourself justifying your decision based in your own personal "truths" rather than "Universal Truths" you are blocking your feelings and stifling your Soul energy and disconnecting from your community. Is this going to be uncomfortable for you? For many of you, yes, and for all of us to varying extents. The beauty of the discomfort is growth. Either you become mindful and start to participate in the flow of life giving changes or you will be forced to do so despite your own resistance to it.
Time will tell.
*Carol's personal comments* Please keep in mind that this years Universal Message does not specify just "what" to be mindful about specifically. It is strictly about being mindful and for you, you must take it to heart and hear the message with your own heart in order to receive the direction. A strong part of this channeled information for me is centered in the environment. I can give you the perfect example of what is NOT environmentally mindful. I was watching a 20/20 episode and I would call it their "We're feeling really good about ourselves with this show" because it was on what "we can do to improve our environment". They traveled around the world reviewing global warming and it's effects and what people are doing in response to it. Yep they were feeling pretty good about themselves, and it does sound pretty good, doesn't it? Then came the cartoon commercial of a line drawing of a man holding a golden energy ball in his solar plexus and releasing it to the air - here it turned into a dove. What was the commercial for? Promoting "clean & reliable COAL" as a fuel source. This is not mindful. On the one hand this program promoted environmental awareness and respect for the earth and what we can all do as individuals to help our environent and in the next moment they have chosen sponsors promoting coal? Look it up -check it out - you will quickly become aware of the vast repercussions of using coal as an energy source.
This is a perfect example of not walking the walk and not talking the talk with regards to being loving stewards of our planet. How can you be mindful today? With regards to the environment there are so many simple things that we can do but the first thing we must do is educate ourselves. I would offer that if you haven't yet, simply get searching on the internet - and remember your feelings as they are your guide and are there to serve you well, if you will only honor them.
Choose the Light
(2006)
It is about becoming aware. Make a conscious choice to walk in the light, the Sacred Light. We are being called to make a choice and to align ourselves with the energy of Light. All energies are heightened right now. Yes there is always the balance, and yet we are called to make a choice. In making this choice we are also called to build our community so that we can support each other in the difficult challenges that lay ahead. Be without fear. Walk in faith. Be an instrument of Love.
See Self - Honor Self
(2005)
Now is the time to pay attention to self. At the onset this might be seen as selfish or frivilous. To the contrary; the call to self care is about self discovery and the acquisition of new understanding about yourself and the world around you.
In this process we travel inward only to reemerge into the world having raised the bar - we have discovered truths of ourselves which then allows us to be more fully present in the world and to better serve in the world.
Self discovery - self nurturing - this is all in preparation for the shifts coming ahead...
