With apologies to the great poet, Robert Frost, it seems that two realities are “diverging in a yellow wood…”
There’s one reality out there based on fear. It is dark and dense and under the control of some not so pleasant gremlins who apparently spend their time doing pretty abhorrent things.
Then there’s the other reality. The one based on life. It is strong and flowing and alive with energy coming from the hearts of the humans who live within it.
These two realities have always existed. But over the past few years, the time has arrived for them to separate like never before.
I don’t visit the fear based reality. So when I happen to brush up against its edges, the feeling is so jarring that I usually think to myself: how can humans exist like this?
“Existing” is probably the best word for it. Because living in fear provides little more than a base existence for a cosmic being capable of affecting the structure of their external world via the configuration of their internal one.
At first, it seemed like a wise thing to maintain existing ties to that old reality, the reality I was raised to live within. After all, a fair amount of people I’m supposed to be “close to” actually live there! As the separation began, it felt like a compassionate thing to do.
Our culture has ideas like “family” and “best friends” and other words we use to describe various types of relationships that are supposed to behave in predetermined ways.
This reality separation has shown the truth: that these words, like all words, are powered only by intent. Which means they only mean what you say they mean and what your actions prove they mean.
So as the realities separate, if you ditch the story of how it “should be” or how it’s “supposed to be,” then maintaining ties to a reality with which you do not resonate just seems like being a poor steward of your life force.
So I stopped. Without guilt. Without remorse. Without apology. Without exception.
We really only ever have ONE choice to make in this journey through life:
And that is HOW you will direct your creative capacity at any one moment in “time.”
What is the best and highest use of that power in the ever unfolding moment of NOW?
