By Fiona Almeleh | Guest writer for Wake Up World
“Dare we set our course for a new direction, keeping our gaze on a world in which we participate fully as conscious and responsible beings? Emancipate yourself from mental slavery, none but ourselves can free our minds.” ~ Bob Marley
We are part of a world that pulses with consciousness. A door is being opened to the greater reality and it calls us to enter as beings freed of fear and filled with love. As we wake to each new day, our very first thought and feeling determine the quality of our experience. This is our opportunity to enter the miraculous and consciously create the reality we dream of.
Are you warmly lit from within with deep gratitude, or do you simply choose to fall into it, resigned, allowing yourself to succumb to all the different inner weathers, mechanically following learned and required responses to whatever life presents you with? In this light, accepting, through your indifference or acquiescence, to be a part of a society where breaking free of normal constraints and fully taking responsibility for what you have helped to create in terms of disharmony, becomes personally extremely disturbing, far too risky and completely destabilizing.
Apparently, it is so much easier to keep redefining one’s reality according to difficulties or the status quo, which is ironic because it requires less energy to change than it does to stay the same. Do you actively choose to meet with yourself in the routine of life, transforming this into sacred ritual time, time that is no different to that which is specially designated and assigned to special places, whether they are for prayer or politics? Is it only when we gaze upon life’s wonders that we accept and rest into our divinity? Surely humanity’s quest for itself needs to continually align with a higher modus operandi, as we birth new generations and go through the cycles of life experiencing the full gamut of emotions. Perhaps this search involves surrendering to finer levels of being as we make those choices to love and cherish the gift of life, honouring our planet and taking full advantage of the opportunity we have whilst here.
The question that begs to be asked is, how can we all enter sacred space with ourselves and ultimately with each other moment by moment? A non specific place and time, rather an inner space/time where we hold the recognition that all are worthy of care-takership, and each one is worthy of belonging. What does it mean to live life wakefully? Surely when our eyes are open, then we are awake and participating in this life ritual, going through the motions of our designated ages, isnt that what life is about? What if beyond the usual learned emotional and psychological responses there were many more levels of experience? What if we could tap into these by changing an inner gear; a higher gear that allowed us to view the world differently? What if we were all on the verge of an elevated and heightened awareness; a consciousness that in many ways was stepped up, to a different level than the one the general population experiences presently.
