The Chaos of Change - Is It Really?


Every day that goes by seems to bring with it more news of change. Depending on our perspective, the change may be felt as something positive or negative. We can feel the angst in the air. What will tomorrow bring? Will we be able to count on our society tomorrow as we do today? The ease in which we traverse the chaos of change is directly proportional to the amount of attachment we have to the status quo.

If we are someone that truly thrives on consistency we may feel out of sorts when things begin to shift. If, on the other hand, we are someone that anticipates new opportunities we may feel excitement as to what may be on its way.

Our planet is experiencing huge paradigm shifts. ALL of us, whether we are conscious of of it or not, are shifting in our belief systems. The current illusion of chaos is bolstered with the breakdown in the fabric of our economy and socio-political systems. Yet, we must remember, that the emergence of new paradigms is always proceeded by the destruction of what is currently in place.

If an old home in major ill repair occupies a lot of land and we want to replace it with something that is new and better, we have two choices. We can remodel or we can tear it down and start over. In many cases a remodel takes more expenditure in money and energy than just tearing it down and begin anew.

We must assess our "home," locally, regionally, nationally, and globally. Do we truly want our children to inherit our "home" the way it is right now? I think not! The "roof" of government is collapsing due to self serving power mongers set on fleecing humanity. The "walls" of business are crumbling from the greed and corruption of its leaders. The "floors" of humanity can barely make ends meet with dual incomes, never mind the countries where the unemployment has skyrocketed. We haven't even looked in our "backyard" at the horrors being thrust on eco-systems of our planet...this is not what I want to leave as a legacy for my children or grandchildren.

I am excited to see the current "home" collapsing. Very soon, the demolition team will completely take it down to an empty lot where we can once again construct a new system that will benefit the collective of humanity and not just a three percent minority.

So, what do we do while it all crumbles around us. Universal principle says to focus on that which we wish to see expand. We can stay in the place of "being" centered, knowing that all is well. That all that appears to be chaos, is not! It is part of the transformation. It is part of the process. We stay "steady." We reach out to one another realizing that we are all ONE. That what happens to one of us, happens to all of us. We breathe comfort to one another. Our realization is that you and me equals WE...AND, we begin to open to NEW ideas, NEW paradigms...to a NEW socio-economic system that brings value to all who share our home with us!

It is no longer, Yes..we can!!! It is now, YES...WE WILL!!!

YES, We Will Survive!!!
YES, We Will Thrive!!!
YES, We Will Be the Change We Wish To See In The World!!!
YES, We Will Create A New Tomorrow, TODAY!!!
