The Transitional Times – Part 1
All things on earth, including humanity, are experiencing the transitional times between the ending of the Fifth Sun (Age of Pisces) and the beginning of the Sixth Sun of Consciousness (Age of Aquarius). And transitional times always brings not only pain but fear.
Fear
What can be said? Fear is a reality of human existence. In a few instances it may help us in life by waking us out of a complacent stupor. On the other hand, our ‘fight and/or flight’ mechanism helps us deal effectively with fear that is connected with any life and death situation. But there is another category of fear. This fear by far is the most damaging to us. It is our worst enemy. It is insidious. Daily, it steals a part of our soul. It is the fear that separates—the fear of the unknown.
The fear of the unknown is the fear of death as well as a fear of life, which creates a sense of powerlessness within us. This may lead to dysfunctional behaviors that give rise to an illusionary impression of power. Fear-based belief systems thrive in such a cultural environment as ours. Terrorism is ever present in people’s minds, and this fear drives people to accept the erosion of their freedoms, and to accept unjust religious and greed-based war. This type of fear enlarges people’s unhealthy egos, as their minds need a secure sense of power.
Fear is the opposite of divine universal love. It will keep us from our bliss and an awakened heart. It sees the world as a dangerous place, recognizing not the earthly paradise that is truly laid out before us. Fear, in its innermost recesses, generates greed and the desire for materialistic accumulation. It is the breeding ground for external power and the abuses that go with that power. It is the curse, but then again, the salvation of humanity, as it has the potential to wake us out of the illusionary sleep of separation. When we let go of fear, we let go of separation; the veil is lifted and we see and know oneness of self and others. Our light has evolved.
In a culture and society ruled by fear we must access the inner core of our strength—our heart, which will help us bring our fears out of the darkness and into the light. This transformational power, which we all have within us, fosters the courage for us to face fear. Confronting our fears, we are then able to let go of some, transform others, and finally make peace with the fears that we can’t let go of or transform. It’s normal and human to have fear, just never let it inhibit your life, keep you separate or keep you from your bliss. To conquer fear is to triumph over death. So what fears do you still harbor? Which ones can be released? The ones not released, which ones can be ‘pressed down’ or detached from?
