Start Each Day New
Have you ever reached a place in your life where your
questioning mind forces you to stop all motion and let it stretch so you
can ponder what's next? During the past two months, I have been doing some deep
soul-searching about the nature of Consciousness (with a big "C") and
how we can go "higher" to help humanity evolve into a better species, but also how I can acquire more wisdom so I can become a better voice for water and love.
If you are like me, you might ask yourself:
What is my role in life? How can I use my voice
(arts, talents, skills) for the highest and greatest good? How can I be a better person?
These are heavy questions, and they
are sure to boggle your mind and send you into a type of madness deconstructing
your entire life -- jonly to find there are no easy conclusions. I would love to help us all rise to a new dawn of love, peace, and understanding, but with a limited mind, I can't seem to figure out how to make that happen. This is the way with all humans. We all want the same things. What are we missing? Billions of us want the same things and billions of us think similarly about our world. Why haven't we achieved it?
While questions were blasting my mind, right and left, it was the feeling of helplessness and hopelessness brought on by the oil leak in the Gulf that took me into my deepest despair. What a tragedy that is! I found myself falling into phases of semi-madness as I analyzed the patterns and
beliefs of mass consciousness that got us here and what we could do that would change the situation
and change world. Where can we begin?
I have gotten letters from many readers asking me what we can do to stop the leak. A special mass prayer might help and we can certainly do it together. A collective of energies and intentions released at the same time would be powerful. But, as I see it, expanding into a higher consciousness
might be the only way to get us out of the bigger mess we are in both in the Gulf and in our own worlds. Are
there people who can teach this to us, or can they guide us to reach that level of higher consciousness? Many say they can. Masters and Avatars have certainly tried but, for for some reason, there still seems to be a barrier. I have pondered this phenomenon and I think I may have hit on something most of us have disregarded as a solution. Our whims.
You may be asking how I could think of a whim during this serious time of ecological and spiritual upheaval and
confusion. It seems to me, unless we break out of "same" thinking, the world and its
problems will continue to evolve as they have been doing. I don't like that overall feeling of helplessness any more than anyone else. I tried something else. I stepped out of "same" thinking this past month and tried on some new hats. That's where the whim comes in. As individuals in the collective consciousness we have more power than we might think when we earnestly bombard consciousness with our playful, curious, exploratory, minds.
Our minds were designed to seek out and learn something new all the time, every day. That's it. That is the answer to the oil leak and all other world
problems. We simply have to do something each day that will put us into a position to learn something new each day. Most of us are not accustomed
to doing this. Habits die hard. Habits put us into a trance. We have to break out!
Until this process of breaking free becomes "second nature," we have to force ourselves to act on whims.
Whatever captures your interest and takes you out of the trance of habitual living will ultimately teach you something more about how the world works. It may even produce solutions to the oil leak. It will absolutely raise consciousness overall when millions of people start acting on their whims. Can you just imagine? I think it sounds amazing! What an interesting world that would be.
Here's what I finally came up with in my deep, serious contemplations. The only way we will ever expand our consciousness to find
solutions and become agents of change or wise humans on the planet is to push
our stretchy boundaries each day and see life slightly different than
the way we saw it yesterday. The solution to higher consciousness, and ultimately the way to new solutions is actually
simple and elegant it's just a little more than a whim...
Start each day new. That's it.
I took this cue from one of my Water Blessing Collections -
Radiant Body. (Yes, I am doing a spring cleaning on body, mind and spirit these
days, and that advice seemed like the right one right now.)
What this concept did for me is that each day, when I wake
up, I linger for a few minutes and make mental notes of what is important to
get done, and also think about what "whim" is swirling in my mind.
Maybe I will eat a different food, drive a different road, use a different coffee mug, or call an old friend. Somehow, during my day, my consciousness will shift because I have experienced something new and I will have learned something I didn't know before. Even if it is small. Even it it seems insignificant. Even if it is silly. (better if it is!)
When we give our mind space for whims, the imagination can
conjure up many ways to expand Consciousness, and it doesn't need to be about
weighty spiritual matters. It's a whim! For Pete's sake! Give it space and give
it air! That's all it needs to grow into something profound. The mother of
invention is need, but the father of invention is whim, if you get my drift.
Right? When you start each day as if it is different than yesterday, you have the ability to make quick alterations and look at the world with fresh eyes.
Beginning with the belief that each day is a new canvas upon
which to paint your life picture, you can paint it any way you want. The only
way you lose is if you paint it the same old way you did the day before. Habit
is the greatest killer of an expanding consciousness or a free spirit.
There are some habits that are necessary in our lives, of course. But, within the
context of each "day" there are still many places where whims can take over and
the canvas gets splashed with bright new colors.
Before enlightenment, chop wood,
carry water
After enlightenment, chop wood, carry water
When we start each day new, we are giving ourselves
permission to see life's potential without the burden of guilt, remorse, shame, or the thousands of details
from the past day, week, etc. Each new day provides you with unlimited opportunities to
learn, see, be, and grow. If you choose to grow through washing dishes, scrubbing the bathtub, spiritual study, singing, dancing, or digging flower beds, it is still
an expansion of consciousness and from it can come expansive and beneficial ideas on ways to make the world a better place, beginning with our own lives. Even in the most
mundane chores there is room for expansion if we are not burdened with the heavy
load of the previous day and if we change things up a little. Whims don't have
to be grandiose. They just have to break the spell of sameness.
That's what the world needs now -- a broken spell and an emerging new consciousness powered by all of us, collectively, whimming all around the planet.
Sometimes we carry our heavy burdens into the night and our minds are disturbed. Therefore we don't sleep so well. After a tough night, we awaken dull and groggy.
Greeting a new day doesn't seem all that appealing... I understand. But I offer one more simple,
elegant suggestion that will expand your consciousness faster than starting
each day new. Closing each day with gratitude, forgiveness, and a smile. That's
it. It takes a minute or two to run through your "list." And I guarantee, you will sleep better,
live better, and be shocked to see how fast you've achieved ....Higher
Consciousness!
It's a simple fix, but might be the very one that plugs the hole in the Earth and in our world.
I hope your spring presents you with daily opportunities for
greater whims; and I hope, collectively, all our whims produce fertile ground for
new solutions to grow. We are all we have, but that's enough when we power up on all cylinders.
Exploring consciousness one idea at a time, The Spirit of
Water is grateful to be part of the movement toward the light. Helping to create an abundant and expansive world, we are
here, silently transforming water into Liquid Prayers.
In peace & prosperity all-ways,
Shara
& The Spirit of Water
