Ok, My First Wild Card

Thursday’s weekly theme for my blog is just what it sounds. Anything goes. Any of the week’s themes may return for fun. That, or anything is possible.

Wild card. Here goes.

What to talk about? I have had many things on my mind. Hmm…

There is one that is rearing its head at the moment, so why don’t I go with that.

I have been thinking about the words “new age.” Why? Could you guess at all from reading any of my blog posts?

Well I don’t go around claiming to be new age. I certainly don’t intend in any way to act, dress, speak or think in ways that may be called new age. But I have a sense that from some perspectives my beliefs may line up with the ideas of new ageism,

So what?

Then I started thinking about it. So what? So what if I am perceived that way? What could that mean about me? Is there some sort of baggage associated with the words “new age” that some people may mistrust?

So what? I am not responsible for creating that baggage. Just because part of my culture gives me baggage about an idea, does not mean that I have to carry it or agree with it.

It’s very likely some people look at new age ideas as somehow froo froo or mystical, therefore unbelievable, therefore bunkus. Get what I mean? Like it’s all magic and hocus pocus whenever there is no scientific data to verify it.

Some people don’t want to talk about chakras, or crystals, or angels or energy, and so on. They don’t believe in those things, don’t want to put all their faith in forces unseen.

But they can be felt. Those energies can be felt and perceived. In many different ways. We all do it. We only have to believe we can. And hone in on the energies in the ways in which we can translate it best.

I know I can’t convince a doubter, that is not my task. I am here to write and to share. And so what if some people do not agree with these ideas? We all have the choice to focus on whatever ideas we wish. I will believe what resonates with me and I will do my best to adhere to profound lessons that so-called new age concepts abound in.

Lessons of love

I mean, what’s so bad about a new age? Does it hurt anyone? Maybe a bad seed here and there started a cult and did harm. That is not a lesson in love. That is not what I am seeking. Nor should you. You must use your discernment about what lesson you are getting.

Is it a lesson in hate and separation or a lesson of love and unity?

So what’s so bad about new age? Let me return the question.

What’s so good about the old age?

I mean, if we really are on the brink of a new age, maybe even entering it, maybe even having entered it already, I think that that would be incredibly amazing truth be told. I am not afraid of a new age. I am exhilarated. Because I believe that a new age, as we have collectively imagined it, would be fantastic and magical and beautiful. It would be all the things we want and more, if we allow it in.

Allow it in. Allow the new age. Allow the kingdom of heaven to be your experience in life. Allow God to recreate everything in perfection and in love.

What could possibly be wrong with that?

Bring it on!

Bring on the new age. Fast as possible. Now, let’s just dive right into it.

Why hang back here with the old forms. The traumas and fears and sorrows of the past? Of our collective human history? Of tragedy and war and holocaust. Why continue to carry all the baggage, only to recreate it time and again? Simply because our culture demands it.

We can change our culture. We can leave the bags behind. They will not be forgotten if they are dropped. They will be memorialized in their own ways. In our collective consciousness. But to carry the bags onward only burdens us now and into the future, as long as we don’t let go our grip.

We do not the need the pains of the past any longer. We do not need to hold on to misery and grief and hate and despair. We do not need malice and deceit. We do not need power for power’s sake. All of that will be taken care of, will be healed.

When love is the predominant energy of this reality, there will be no need for the negative to recreate itself anymore. There will be healing.

Right now the negative feeds on its own created reality. It is like a virus. It replicates when it is in charge.

It is time to break the cycle. It is time to shed the old skin. It is time for a rebirth. It is time for the new age.

What could be wrong with that?

The new age can bring glory heretofore unseen by the millions, or billions. The glory that has in times past only been seen by the few may now be felt and heard from on high by all.

That is the legacy of this time. It has been known. It has been expected. Why not embrace it as it is come to be?

That is all for now.

Blessings to you all.

DAY 20

 

 

P.S.

Day 19 of 30 Day Challenges

The blog series in which I am completing my challenge from 30dayblogchallenge.com!

As well as a self-made challenge inspired by Abraham Hicks in which I self-soothe myself through negative emotion.

At the end of this 30 day journey I intend to be more fully on my life’s path, “all systems go.”

Quicker check in every day

I am actually feeling done with this 30 day challenge series, as far as continuing to update about it. I am much more excited about taking the momentum I’ve got going and begin the task of doing the blog in the way I am intending.

Which is exciting.

But, for the sake of continuity…

Day 10’s blog challenge was about seeking inspiration and maintaining your motivation to keep creating content. It was suggested that if you keep writing, the readers who resonate with the words will find the blog.

Good. Let me keep going.

Day 19 since I began my writing and my 30 day self-soothe challenge. Bit of driving frustration reared its head as I mixed up directions, thinking I knew the way. Went too far the wrong way and had to double back. Ahh, well. No use getting overly mad about it. Not like I may have in the past.

Release the need to be in control.

Be easy.

Thank you for reading. Blessings.
