bigger picture

I enter my house to find everything upside down, and downside up. Emptied drawers contents spread all over the floor. All the cabinets content piled chaotically everywhere. Things that are supposed to be in the kitchen, are now on top of the bed, things from the bathroom in the kitchen, mixed in inconceivable ways. Everything is filthy or dirty in every way possible, mud, feces, waste water, trash on top of furniture. It's a pretty mess.

It's been a robbery -you guess, or would like to know-, was there a tornado, flood, earthquake, or some other cataclysm? No, this is just a picture of what the world is looking like around us nowadays. We see an unrecognizable picture of an already taken for granted reality. We assumed that we had conquered this right, solved that issue. We thought we had overcome that shameful past problem, that we had written that law, that we had grown civilized, and had every item in its place, unmovable, done! We thought we had the reality under our control, right? NO.

The fact is that our perception is hindered by all kinds of limitations. It's only the mind that makes the idea of what we have in front, there is no possibility for us to grasp the real thing, but its 'image'. This process is just like a camera taking a picture. The image can have 6 mpixels or 20 mpixels, it all depends on the capability of the camera. Our senses are not so good at giving us the right information from our environment. Our emotions tint our lenses and we end up seeing what we want to see instead of what we have in front of our eyes. It's like when we "fall" in love, we just project ourselves onto the other person and that's what we see. Only to discover later that we have a completely different person from what we had 'created' in our minds, and we believe ourselves deceived, when in reality we just deceived ourselves. Therefore, reality is just what you make up your mind to be.

We live in times when it is crucial for us to approach the most approximate perception of truth. More than that, we are hungry, thirsty, longing for truth. We can actually not stand ambiguity, lies or misleading information anymore.  We want truth in all levels of our life. Political, social, personal, you name it, we have realized that we cannot handle life that is tossed around by deceptions. How we get to it? We have approached and started the Aquarian Age, and it's not small deal. The mind and information are no useful anymore. There are overwhelming amounts of information and our minds are not able to make the right connections anymore, it is too much for our mental ability. Then our emotions get overboard, data overpower us. I personally have experienced a switch at this point, when I just want to seek isolation and seclusion to find out the truth. Maybe you have felt this need also.

And there you and I have the answer, the way to find the truth, our own and the collective truth. We need to go inside, find the silence of our beautiful soul and listen to the infinite silence. Some call it "listen to your heart", or open to your "consciousness". I like Ajahn Brahm's idea of 'stillness', the quiet place where you're not disturbed, where you can be aware of your own Self, and access the Higher Self -however you conceive it-, the symbolic place up on the mountain where the ancient sage climbed. That stillness is where emptiness starts, where we can let go of our hinderances, sensory, emotional, shortcomings, guilt, shame, fear, that place where we feel safe, where we experience real and unconditional Love.

It is in that place where we can start making sense of things, seeing them for the first time, reorganizing the chaos into a beautiful landscape. No, it is not putting all the items scattered throughout your house in their old place and order that you will find the peace of truth. It is only in your heart that you can arrange reality. Then, reality is what you make up your HEART to be.

When you try to communicate, don't listen to words said anymore, true communication happens through the invisible realm, from heart to heart. During the Aquarian Age, people will not need to use words and language the way we do now, because Love doesn't need them. Yes, we already feel more vulnerable, and that's why we are so afraid. However, once you know what is happening, once you get some practice at it, you can relax, let the energy flow, let yourself go, because that's where we are all supposed to go. Home.

Sending out much love!
