Blessings and welcome to the path to freedom.
This path of us awakening to who and what we are.
This path of us allowing for great and grand expressions of that who and what to emerge.
This path of us allowing for the peace and the joy and the harmony and the wholeness and the abundance and the beauty that is inherent within us and that is inherent within each and every single moment to well up,
To erupt from within us.
The theme of this particular talk is when you change,
Everything must change.
And this is something to do with the fact that as we say yes,
At some point when we say yes to awakening,
When we say yes to embark upon and along the path of freedom,
This adventure of waking up to who and what we are,
This adventure of allowing for great and grand expressions of that who and what to emerge.
What we're really saying yes to is us changing,
Is us transforming.
Because as we go deeper and wider and higher into the truth and the essence of who and what we are,
As we gain deeper understandings and deeper realizations as to the nature of reality and of who and what we are,
Who and what God is,
Spirit is,
These small and limited thought patterns and opinions and judgments and stories and beliefs that we may have held on to and that may have served us in the past,
They gradually begin to dissolve.
As we become aware of them,
As they are brought to the altar of our awareness,
As we look at them and as we realize that they are nothing but stories and fantasies and that we are wise to release and let them go because they do not serve us,
As we begin to change in this way through the renewal of our minds,
As we begin to entertain new thoughts,
As we begin to open up to new possibilities,
As we begin to open up to new and greater and grander expressions of who and what we are to emerge,
The outside structures in our lives,
They will change.
Consciousness always precedes form,
Whatever is alive and active within us will come into our experience and as we begin to change,
As we begin to think in a different way,
As we begin to respond in a different way,
As we begin to raise our vibration and as we begin to expand our consciousness,
The whole universe will rise up and meet us at this new expanded state,
Which means that that which used to be,
That which we used to be in vibrational alignment with,
As we raise our vibration,
We reach a new level of vibrational alignment and the old that used to be in alignment with who we used to be,
All of that will begin to dissolve,
All of that will begin to change,
All of that will begin to be transformed,
Transmuted.
And so as disconcerting as it can be to move through changes,
As uncomfortable and turbulent as it may be to grow through challenges,
When things begin to change on the outside,
That is a beautiful sign that we are actually changed and are changing on the inside.
Because the external is always a mirror and a reflection of who and what we believe ourselves to be and what we believe is possible,
What we believe is rational and realistic.
So as we begin to change,
The outside will change and this,
As nothing exists in and of itself,
But as everything is interconnected and intermingled,
It means that when we continue to grow,
As we continue to walk along the path of freedom,
As we continue to walk along the path of awakening,
All areas of our lives will begin to change.
Structures will begin to crumble.
Things that used to seem so solid will begin to dissolve and transmute themselves into the nothingness from which they came and new solid grounds and new solid foundations will begin to emerge.
And as we keep on moving,
They too will begin to dissolve and crumble.
And so this can be quite frightening in the beginning for an individual who's just entered upon this path and perhaps thinking or believing that this path is all about allowing for happiness and bliss and smiles and beautiful demonstrations and manifestations to occur and happen.
They're in for a big surprise.
All of that will come and it comes eventually,
But before the sun can rise,
We need to go through the night.
And what this means is that we,
To get to the glory,
Need to go through the gory.
We need to go through messes,
Just like the caterpillar needs to go through the metamorphosis to become a butterfly.
So do we need to go through periods of chemicalizations,
Need to go through periods of sweet releases,
Need to go through periods of changes,
When everything changes.
Because I'm not saying this in any way to scare you,
But I'm just seeking to convey to you that this will happen,
Not only once,
But over and over and over again,
So that you can be prepared,
So that you can be forewarned.
Transformation is beautiful.
It is beautiful,
But it is not always high soaring and smiles only,
But it can be quite messy because all of the transformation,
All of the growth,
All of the expansion is about releasing and letting go of that which no longer serves us.
Releasing and letting go of the small and the limited,
Thought patterns and beliefs and perceptions and stories and habits.
And as we release and let go,
We make room for something new to emerge,
For something new,
More expanded to come forth.
So,
Just a little heads up that this is what we're all in for.
And I'm trusting that you're not discouraged from walking this path,
But that you're actually inspired and empowered because the freedom that comes and that arises out of going through these changes,
Of going through these transformations and saying yes to them,
Allowing them,
Embracing them to be,
That freedom is beyond anything that can be described with words.
It is a freedom and it brings a peace that passes human understanding.
So it is a beautiful path.
It is a wonderful path.
It is a blessed path.
So until the next time,
I bless,
Bless,
Bless your day and I bless,
Bless,
Bless your way.
Namaste.
