NEW BEGINNINGS - 2016from JulieWe look forward to the new year because it is a marker in time that brings to us the possibility of new beginnings. The first day of the first month feels filled with promise, calling us forward to fulfill our own promises to ourselves that we have felt unable to keep before. Such markers anchor our souls in space and time. They are markers of what the soul knows to be true at all times, namely, that change is infinitely possible. That hope is possible. That a new beginning can take place in any moment.
They are markers of what the soul knows to be true at all times, namely, that change is infinitely possible. That hope is possible. That a new beginning can take place in any moment.
Though the new year creates this upsurge of hope, it is, in fact, possible in each moment, for the moment lived with awareness reveals the new that is coming into being in the most ordinary of circumstances. It reveals the tiny seeds of growth that are coming into being. Such revelations are not uncommon. They are common. They are revelations of Divine life within the present reality, within the life that is becoming LIGHT.
LIGHT brings forth all beings. It makes all things new. In its absence we feel oppressed and stagnant. We carry the burden of repetition of old patterns and old behaviors, many of which we would have preferred to be rid of long ago. Yet, in the presence of LIGHT what we have clung to, often at our own expense, can more easily be let go of, and what we have been afraid of can finally be faced. This revelatory capacity of the present moment exists as an aspect of the soul engaging more fully with embodied life, having gained greater access to the outer self. To the extent that this is the case, the joy of revelation can be found within any situation, for the soul has its own way of perceiving, one that gives meaning and substance to things that are often taken for granted by the physical senses.
Now, as we learn to become explorers of our own consciousness, we must not limit our awareness or deny any portion of it. Our senses can remain open to what is inside and to what is outside. To our deeper being and its messages and to what may appear as the more surface aspects of our perception. This is the key - to feel the freedom of becoming LIGHT. To feel the freedom of becoming unburdened. To feel that we can be fully here, embracing the Divine that is everywhere and that it is our destiny to fulfill.
May the blessings of Divine life and light be with all beings.
