A Surfer on the Crest

February 2, 2011

Excitement and stillness. The flames of the spirit and the well of the spirit. Today you feel the flame so intensely it’s difficult to even track the calm well of stillness within. How to steady the flame without quenching it? Yes, you know your soul is eternal and that eternal stillness abides within you. But this certainty of knowing is not enough. You still feel like a gerbil running in its race, turning, turning, hurry, hurry, hurry. You affirm a plentitude of time, but your affirmation is not enough. You see the giddy happiness in the faces of Egyptians on TV, and you identify with the release and excitement they are feeling. They are not relaxed, not serene. They are as excited and joyous as you are. And with good cause. A new realm of possibility is before the Egyptians and before you. So naturally your heart beats faster and you struggle to regain calm.

The women in your group are urging you to slow down, don’t put so much on your plate. But you find that you can’t say no to the opportunities that are arising. Your clarity about your priorities is helping you now. Simplify. Use money to save time. Find someone to teach you WordPress and Ning or someone to do these tasks for you. Find someone to bring the right bee hives onto your land. You have stored energy in the form of money that needs to be released in order for you to accomplish your tasks. People in your larger environment are waiting to help you, waiting to collaborate with you. You can create shopping lists for the people you want. Write down the skills you need these people to have and the higher qualities you need them to possess in order to work with you. Honesty, integrity, genuineness and an understanding of fair energy exchange. Read your lists daily and see these people in your life. You know all this. It’s just Basic Manifestation 101. You’ve used these laws before, you know they work. It’s just that you haven’t completely taken in the fact that you need colleagues in your endeavors and this is the straight-forward way to get them.

It’s fortunate that you’re such an experienced facilitator, because at least you already know how to coordinate work in a group. The groups you assemble will be more fluid now than the groups you coordinated in the past, where you hired people for long-term positions. This will be more like contracted piece work, but the principles of coordinating a team to achieve goals will be the same. As before, your vision will be key. Relax into the knowledge that you know how to do the vision thing and that you will be successful again.

Keep exercising. Breathe. Breathe some more. Don’t try to stop the energy or diminish its intensity. Ride the energy like a surfer on the crest of the wave. And remember that you are loved always and forever.
