This is what seems to have fundamentally changed: things are moving by their own momentum now. I'm speaking of personal things, not the more broad based world events we hear about every day. It's easy to see how those are flying along, but sometimes not so easy to see what's swirling around ourselves.
What does this mean? It means a lot of the things you and I have set in motion through our desire, thought, and work are now taking on a momentum that isn't entirely from our efforts. A fourth element has come in. It's as if a boosting energy has taken the reins of our projects. With our higher self's permission it is directing things as well as we could or better. We can now turn our attention to our next desire, or we can take a rest and watch what we've already created grow stronger and healthier and more self sustaining every day.
Is this true for everyone? No. It's true for those who want it and who can believe it. Who can feel it and accept it. You've seen for yourself that many, many of us are not ready to even consider easing our grip, much less actually do it. Not with our well-thought-out and detailed plans and projects. Letting go is something we hope to be in a position to do "someday", not now. Take my hands off the wheel? In this mess? Are you serious?
You envision a crash if you release the wheel. Because that's what happened when you did it before. Guess what. The past is no longer a reliable indicator of what's going to happen now or in the future. This is a whole new set of rules. There are a lot of changes taking place; we're just talking about one of them right now. And that's the one that seems to indicate that maybe, just maybe, some sort of auto pilot has kicked in, and is waiting for you to switch it on. You can now do a little less heavy lifting to get the same result. Or even a better result. Because some new energy is here and it amplifies our intentions if we allow it to. Here's the cool part: you get to decide if you want to be a participant in this or if you want to stay with the way you've always operated. The option of free choice is still here, even with all the changing. What a wonderful gift.
Love to all..

Something's Changed
For quite some time there's been a small but persistent sense that something has changed. Not that something's in the process of changing, but that it's already changed.
This would seem reasonable considering all the shifting, discarding, re-arranging and re-adjusting happening in our world and in our individual lives. But if we're frank about this, isn't it our tendency to think that our internal senses and feelings aren't reliable? Yes, of course we should acknowledge them, we tell ourselves. But always we should look for supporting evidence in the outside world before we jump to any conclusions based on a feeling. Never value feelings first, value facts first. We have the programming from very early childhood and it's strong: what you detect by your five senses is real. The rest is mental, emotional, imaginary, and therefore not real. If you can't see it, hear it, taste it, smell it or touch it, forget it.
When I was a child the model was "Be cautious about your feelings because they can be unreliable. Use logic, facts, and rationality first because they are reliable. If somehow they don't work, find the flaw and make them work. If you've tried, and then tried harder, and things still aren't right, go ahead and resort to your feelings for help. If you must."
Today there's a different model in place. Feelings, hunches, intuition - they're no longer second-class citizens in the western world. They've been elevated. The scientific community is devoting a tremendous amount of attention to thoughts and feelings and how they work together to create the world we experience, including its "facts". Notice that scientists are studying how, not whether. So feelings have value. Feelings are our guides. Most of you knew that already and have lived your lives accordingly, to one degree or another.
Then what about this feeling, this gentle sense that something has really changed? This feeling is distinct and specific. It isn't vaporous. But what's it about? The world economic system? It is surely in flux and that's a "fact". Our political systems? Popping in and popping out every day. A new world order? Maybe. Show me. Because something is absolutely different - it has turned. I think this first came to my attention last summer. Maybe it's because we're heading into another summer that the feeling is coming up so noticeably now.
