KEEP ON, KEEPING ON
I don’t know about the rest of you but I know that for myself there are moments that I struggle to stay centered in the middle of all that is happening now here in the United States, observing, too, what is occurring is so many other countries around the world. Chaos seems to be the name of the game…at least for now. Certainly meditative practices, nurturing a sense of humor, eating healthy foods help. BUT what if you’ve had a vision for how things might be??…
… What if you’ve been shown in a dream a world quite different from the present one, one that offers a higher level of consciousness for the entire human species, one where compassion is foremost in every act and encounter, one where all life is nurtured with care and understanding, one where interaction with life beyond this planet is encouraged and welcomed…What if, indeed! Well, this is what I’ve seen. I’m guessing, too, that this, at some level, may be what you’ve seen or intuited as well. If so, it’s time to wake up!
Each of us is a “seed holder.” Each of us has within us a dream that may or may not have had a chance to surface during your present lifetime, depending on your circumstances. But whatever the circumstances, the “DNA” of that “seed” is still there. My mother used to tell me that if I’ve had a dream of who I might be, what I might do, there’s a reason why that “dream seed” was planted in you. Follow where it leads. This is true for you too.
Granted, there are those events and experiences that seem to squash the dream. For some this starts in childhood. The truth is that the frequency of the original blueprint within you is still there. If it has been distorted or hidden for a time, and you are aware that there is something within you that is unfulfilled, pull yourself up (with the help of a friend if needed) and call out to the part of you that you may have thought was lost. The world is desperately needing you now.
…Think of what a different world it would be if each person was celebrated for her or his uniqueness, a world that by design sought to help you discover the dream you came in with. Imagine what it would be like if each person were empowered, with compassion and great care, from cradle to grave to believe fully in him/herself. This is what I’ve seen. This is the dream I was given. And I was shown one way this might happen.
But there have been moments I have fallen into despair when I’ve seen what is happening on Earth now. Lately it seems that for every step forward the human race has taken, it has taken two steps backward. At these moments I remember wisdom that has come from certain inspiring teachers in my life. In particular, my father saying, “Roll with the tide, Gal.” Edgar Mitchell saying to me, “Keep on keeping on. Keep putting one foot in front of the other, no matter how hard it might get.” Willis Harman sharing one afternoon, “You’re ready, waiting for orders from the Universe. Say yes. Keep saying yes. Then all else will be a ‘lark.'” (I loved the reference of the lark, a bird known for its beautiful song, not only singing as it perches in a tree or bush but in flight as well.) And similarly, Joseph Rael saying, “Show up and keep saying yes!” And my beloved husband saying, “Stay on point, Jeanne, stay on point.”
I guess the bottom line is, if you haven’t already, follow the energy line that the dream within you is leaving. And to quote Harriet Beecher Stowe, “Never give up! For that is just the place and time that the tide will turn.”

It is actually impossible not to keep on keeping on, thats my experience….Thought for a second upon Martin Luther King….Wonder how his dream looked like

I find that the chaos we are now watching in US politics is absorbing. I reach for my phone to dial in social media many times a day. More than I pray or meditate! Why? Beyond the somewhat obvious explanation that these politics will affect us all, I think there is a further natural answer. If you watch monkeys interacting. They all jump and whoop as the daily fights break out. So our mammalian brain is used to looking for chaos in order to fix it or run from it.
In the time I have spent trying to learn about positive emotions and cultivating it in my life, warm kindness towards what I see around me is recommended instead of judgement. Judgement is my jump to response. So it takes some work to see what happens and view it with compassion. It takes 5 good feelings to overcome 1 negative.
So far as your vision, Jeanne, I believe it is the next evolutionary step for the planet. I don’t know how much chaos has to play out before people will be willing to seek change. My hope is in my lifetime. I started out as a child of the 60’s and keep searching for Peace and love.

Beacause of all you’ve said, I feel that for me and to strength the hold on until changes will be connected to a big one net around the world, I am called to be more aware of how I step my path.
The way I treat my self, others, my thoughts, my actions, in what I am focus with, the way to support circles of the same concessnes….
Now days I observe. The energies all around. From every where.
Thank you’re riminding me to Keep On Keeping On.
Blessings from Israel
