I’ve heard the best place to start is at the beginning- so here we are! The beginning of a future which has no shape or form outside of the love used to create it. But that love must first be shown inward before it’s able to be radiated outward. Very difficult! This part, the beginning, is often where the first glimpse of our journey is so daunting that the temptation to just put the blinders back on and wrap up in a blanket on the couch is almost insurmountable.
The good news is that it kinda works more like a two-way superhighway, rather than a cup you must first fill before giving to others. The pressure is not all on you! As you love and heal little parts of yourself, they automatically are activated to heal those parts in others through your newfound compassion and empathy. And the more you love yourself, the faster the transformational exchange along the road- within you, the world around you, and beyond.
The Tao Te Ching states (more or less) that “the journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step”. Many people take that first step, and then seem to abruptly stop. I’ve done it myself.
Why? -Lack of support!
There is no dream-killer worse than apathy. We need people around us who will encourage and uplift us in our growth and development as human spirits. None of us got to where we are, alone. To think we can elevate our own creative consciousness without building a solid (yet malleable) framework of relationships to get us there, would be folly.
Sounds really good, right? Sounds like I know what I’m talking about!
HOWEVER-
Since this is the beginning, I should tell you, by writing this blog today, I am taking my own first step right along with you. In writing this blog, I am creating my framework of like-minded individuals to grow and expand their consciousness with me. Join me on the journey, because it can only be made together.
The Hopi believe that all people of Earth occupy a space around the same hoop, and that those opposite you on that hoop have attributes, experiences, and knowledge that perfectly balance your own- let’s learn from each other and put this off-kilter world back on track to an harmonious existence on this teeny-tiny rock, soaring through this incredibly vast universe! Check back every Monday to see what themes our step-wise journey inward is teaching us along the way, so we can reflect them outward into the world around us.
