It’s not too far-fetched to imagine your dreams coming true. It’s never too late to grab onto what you most desire to fulfill in your lifetime. A dream will remain only a dream unless you bring it to life by taking action on your own behalf. For it is in action that a dream will wake up and find itself alive in a new reality. If your dream is still sleeping within you then it’s up to you to wake it up in some way. It might just mean challenging yourself to do something unexpected. Otherwise, it will remain just a dream. With all the powers you already have at your fingertips, within your heart, and within your physical energetic self, we know you will find the right button to push to catapult you out of your dream and into your new reality.
The phrase “being in the Tao” suggests that one’s thoughts and actions are best fitted to, and in greatest harmony with, the needs of the whole. However, thoughts and actions that poorly address the needs of the whole are nonetheless in the Tao, as the Tao is wholeness and wholeness includes everything.
America just expressed a powerful wave of action in reaction to its governance. Although America is a democracy, with separation of church and state, at a deep archetypal level citizens project onto their president the role of hierophant, or spiritual leader, imbuing him with a divine numinous presence.
The current president has fulfilled this spiritual role through assuming the role of trickster, completely defying all dignified expectations and blatantly exposing and embodying the shadow of America in his daily doings, both day and night.
The impact upon the American psyche of this leadership was to have it brush up against a latent psychosis. The challenge was for the individual to wake up from its trance and take responsibility for the direction of its personal life and that of the country.
It truly could be argued that the president went to such extraordinarily bizarre behaviors to shake people to disidentify with their spell upon him and to assume conscious control of their destiny. This would represent him as truly being in the Tao in the most necessary sense. But regardless of whether it is actually that, or the Tao of extremism, it is the way of the Tao of now.
At the level of the individual, the hierophant is operative in the relationship within the divine triune self of father, mother and child.
From the inner divine father issues the beliefs and deepest desires that impregnate the mother, the subconscious mind, that brings to physical life the child of its intent.
The inner divine father, to best be in the Tao in his suggestions, must own and settle with his shadow. The shadow is a trickster that will live out all of our hidden doubts, desires and resistances, whereby diluting the potency of our stated intentions. The trickster will confound our lives with distractions and obsessions that seize our vital energy yet offer us a glimpse at our hidden selves. This is the opportunity to wakeup.
The inner divine mother will manifest that which is most potent within our beliefs. Mother may indeed know better, but her role is to create, in the most auspicious way. The best way of being in the Tao with the inner mother is to be sure that the suggestions she receives issue from what is truly needed. Once assured, retire doubt and quietly hold the knowing that it is done.
The inner divine child is best in the Tao when it maintains its innocence and remembers where it came from, its divine parentage. As the president reflects, there can be great temptation for the inner child to deify itself alone, setting the stage for cataclysmic extremism in the Tao.
With gratitude for all the gifts we are given, both within and reflected without, that wake us up to our own divine power and responsibility.
Drop into a new and different state of mind today by shifting into heart-centered breathing and heart-centered compassion whenever you feel yourself drawn toward depression or negativity. Whenever your mind wanders, bring it back to your heart center and give it some positive words to dwell upon, to keep it in the realm of possibility rather than on the wheel of despair. You have this power within, and it is available every minute of every day. You have the power within you to change your reality at any moment, simply by changing your thoughts.
Dramas may happen all around you but that does not mean you need to be involved or caught up in the same drama. Far better to use your personal powers of imagination and manifestation to shift away from fear and despair into a more flowing state of mind, heart, and body; into a place where you remain open and hopeful, moving in alignment with the passage of time and the changes that naturally occur constantly. Change, as we have often said, is a constant, and so, one day’s drama will be the next day’s past. Keep an open heart, focused on knowing that change is always in the air and that it is bringing you where you need to go next.
When it feels like change is not happening in your life no matter how hard you try to get in alignment with it, doing your manifesting and asking for things, remember that change IS happening, all the time. Change is never stagnant; neither is time. Both are in constant motion, in constant unfolding, keeping each other wrapped in wave after wave of endless evolution. When you feel stagnant in your own life, it may just be that you are forgetting the law of unfoldment, how stagnancy is only a fixation of the mind but not a reality. To shift yourself away from stagnancy, get active, in both mind and body, for it is in action that more action will occur. To keep things alive, keep yourself moving, and before you know it you will realize that you just needed to get into alignment with the movement of change, that ever-unfolding wave of progress.
