We are living in a zone of change in 2012.  We are beginning the 5^th world age according to many ancient prophecies including the Mayans. According to the Mayans there is a window of time that is called the zone of change and it is from 1980-2016. That’s when we can expect and see a lot of change. We are halfway though that window.  We are already living the prophecy.

We are seeing great and beautiful things happening but for many people it is uncharted territory.   We are living in a zone of change but it’s not necessary that something bad is going to happen.   However it is a key time to begin to reflect and shift our thinking patterns so we may create a life based in joy, sustainability and collaboration.  Much of our thinking patterns are based on false assumptions of competition and lack.  Many choices are based in fear.  The new age asks for cooperation, innovation and faith.  We are the generation that bridges two worlds. This is no ordinary time.  It is a time to reflect on all our assumptions, paradigms and roles.

This is the time to APPLY the spiritual teachings in combination with the new science to find solutions to our own challenges as well as the global challenges. This is the time to ask the only question that really matters…

This is the year to ask and answer Who Am I?

Am I a limited body trying to compete, fight and overcome the meagerness of life?

Am I a lone individual in a caustic sea of strangers with little more than my wits to protect me?

Am I a mistake, a misdeed, a wrong-doing?

Or

Am I Divine creator whose 50 trillion cells reflect my own potency, creative power and ability to regenerate, renew and birth whatever my soul desire may be?

Am I a light being whose appearance on this earth at this time has a specific, deep and meaningful purpose to my own life and the entire planet?

Am I being of joy, love and infinite potential that is cared for by a Field/Energy/Divine being that continually has my back so that I may give wings to my own soul?

This is the time of awakening or remembering.  It is a time to step fully into love.  It is about expanding our consciousness beyond the old creationist myths of limitation and realizing that the entire cosmos is based in love and cooperation. Love is what we are, we are not victims of fate, karma or chance but we are Divine creators. The loving universe we exits within is primed to make our dreams come true. It is up to us to allow our dream or not.

At the moment many of us are straddling two different world: the commonsense world of fear, struggle, blame and victim-hood that is mirrored by the news media and the other world that is the emerging world of love, joy, healing and spiritual awareness that is bubbling up behind the scenes and sometimes very much at the forefront within the ever expanding group of light workers who are holding a new consciousness.

Once we fully step into this new reality, everyday life takes on a sense of true possibility and we feel more and more alive. We realize that the outer world is a reflection of the inner world.  There is no separation between inner and outer as more and more of us live in this place of possibility and connection we literally begin to change the world.

Most of us have internalized messages regarding fear and unworthiness whether they came from our religion, media or family.  It is time to release the cold, critical, repressive inner voice – that place of judgment within that keeps us feeling trapped and dis-empowered. The only inevitable result is anxiety, depression, illness and pervasive disillusionment.

This great awakening is about all of us maturing and realizing our own greatness.  It is time for all of us to realize we are Divine creators. We don’t have to deserve or get over our karma. The universe has infinite resources that can fulfill everyone’s needs. Ask and it is given – it is that simple. We can be or do or have anything.

Wishing you all infinite possibility.

Namaste,

Shasta

I have to laugh at life some times and the message that come through by not coming through.

This past week my email started blocking incoming mail – like 98 percent of it for no reason I could figure. If you have ever had your email go down you know how stressful this can feel.

Fortunately my helpful hosting company fixed my issue lickety-split. The problem was that I had my Spam-Assassin on too high and it was filtering out 98 per cent of my email. (so if you emailed me this last week, please resend).

I love that our computers are so smart to filter out what they perceive as not helpful even if sometimes they over do it. It got me thinking. What if we could install a Spam Assassin in our own brains?

What if there was a program that let you know when you were receiving something negative and then deleted it before it penetrated your operating system?

How many times have we taken on the “viruses” of others? How many times have you let a projection, belief or just junk thought permeate your brain?

I am a pretty positive and clear person but I am re-installing the Spam Assassin in my brain.

My Assassin says, “Not every email, thought, projection or idea from others needs to come into your head.

Not every thought, idea or belief that you have Shasta is helpful, true or real.

Not everything needs to be stored in your data banks – sometimes DELETE is the answer.”

For me my Yoga practice is really my Spam Assassin. I know after being on the mat or meditation cushion I feel lighter, clearer, more free and always happier. I feel like I am more tolerant, loving and even o.k. with whatever comes my way as my operating system is wired for joy – viruses just don’t stand a chance.

Wishing you all a great spam-free day!

Namaste

Shasta
