Here is a quote from an ancient wisdom that feels potent to me:
“The weight you feel has been chosen by you, nobody has placed it on you. The weight we each carry is the chosen responsibility. The load we drag is the weight of our choice. You owe nothing to anyone, no one depends on you. You’re free. That person who feels weight for their family is actually free. He who feels responsibility for his work is free. That person who blames herself for the mistakes made, is free. Those who live by karma are free. Whoever sees themselves fulfilling a mission is free. Who takes care of a child feeling that it is the most important thing, is free … Do you understand? You are always free. The only thing that weighs on you is your choice about things. You do what you can not because it is within your power, but because you “can.” You are free to decide not to do it, as you were free when you chose to do it. But the weight does not fall on you, because all that exists is a memory, a network, and by sharing what you know, you distribute this weight, you distribute the pressure. You are no longer alone, neither here nor there, you are remembering …”
We are remembering, more and more, our Selves, our uniqueness, our power, our choice, our part of the whole; the unity. Remembering can feel like waking from a dream, enjoyable or not. It can feel unfamiliar – an altered reality, even distorted from the “norm”.
As we move into this Aquarian innovative energy, with Uranus’ fast and free energy squaring Saturn’s slow and structured energy; we can expect our attention to gravitate toward a new way, cleaning out the old, questioning the rules and being open to our higher truth. All of this revolves within the sphere of our pure and simple freedom.
Within the reality of this freedom, we are choosing to see or not to see, hear or not to hear, feel or not to feel. It is a powerful time, to move on from any patterns of powerlessness, passivity, or patterns of fear within ourselves. Let’s embody our true nature as clear and present creative beings, exercising our connection to unity consciousness – collaborating, sharing openly with one another, without attachment. From the connection to our own hearts, following the flow and direction it dictates for us. We are free to choose the “blue pill” or the red pill” as in the movie Matrix. It is time to own that choice for ourselves and not wait for another person to direct us, measure us, or to approve of us.
We are all in this together and there are no passengers.
Let’s recognize this in our circle of friends, family or colleagues and encourage it. The differences we present can be the harmony we create together, the healing we seek for the planet and all life. Please, speak your truth, sing it, chant it, whisper it. All levels of vibration are creative. Choose wisely!
As many of you are, I have been finding my balance with the new way of things in our world, but mostly within myself. I deeply value your influence in my life, the inspiration, contrasts and reflections are precious to me.
