Are you headed in the direction of your dreams or do you feel as if you are spinning your wheels and staying in one place? Or are you marching forward but NOT in the direction of your dreams, hoping to change course eventually and get back on track?
One thing I know about the 21st Century is that Time is speeding up. The clock still ticks away 24 hours every day but they seem to be passing more quickly than those same 24 hours used to pass. There is a sense of urgency about doing our work in the World, living our Purpose. Do you feel it, too?
I think this is why so many people are feeling frustrated with jobs, with situations, with politics, with anything that seems to be stuck in old patterns that are not moving forward. We are all feeling a drive to manifest our dreams NOW.
This isn’t to advocate impatience but to urge you to examine yourself and your life and to be brutally honest with yourself. Are you on the path to the realization of your heart’s desires? Or are you waiting for something to happen to push you along? Sweet One, the ‘something’ has happened! It’s time to move!
Some people have pooh-poohed the Big Shift of 2012 because the world didn’t end on December 21, 2012. Others believe there was a shift of something but they aren’t sure what that ‘something’ is. Still others are waiting for something else to happen that might take several years to complete.
There’s a bit of truth in each of these beliefs, but here is what’s going on. The Shift wasn’t about a comet hitting Planet Earth and causing the demise of our physical world and it also wasn’t about some chosen group [everyone thinks that they are in the chosen group and all others are outsiders] didn’t get swept away into some kind of heaven or nirvana. The Big Shift was a shift in Consciousness, a part of the evolution of human awareness, and it really is a BIG Shift.
As each individual is given the choice of expanding or contracting, of participating in the evolution of Consciousness or ignoring it, then each individual also has a responsibility to move into living their own Life Purpose, the very reason that their Soul incarnated in this lifetime on this planet. No more excuses. No more delays. No more waiting. The Time is NOW.
Do you know your Purpose? Are you poised and ready to live it but unsure of the direction you must take?
Look into your heart. FEEL your heart’s desires. Learn the direction of your dreams.
Most of our lives are spent answering to others’ expectations of us. Most of us have not been taught to listen to our inner voice and determine our heart’s desires. How, then, do we do this?
The first step is to give yourself permission to live your dreams. You might think that this is easy but there seems to be a little voice that will pop up and undermine your determination to live your dreams. Have you ever heard it? ‘Who do you think you are to dream that big?’ ‘You’re not good enough, smart enough, beautiful enough, slim enough, strong enough, etc. to accomplish that.’ ‘Nobody in the family has ever _________ so what makes you think you can do it?’ And on and on.
Do the work to still this voice. You do have permission to live your dreams. Your heart’s desires are the messages from your Soul about the direction this lifetime is to take. Fulfilling your Life Purpose should feel like the realization of a nagging desire to move in a certain direction. Allow yourself to pursue it.
The second step is to identify your dreams. Figure it out. Energize the vision of you stepping into those dreams.
Next, create a plan. Notice what works to support you and what doesn’t and then adjust your life circumstances to allow the possibility of realizing the dreams you identify.
Take these steps and you’ll have the compass pointed in the right direction. Let your heart’s desire be True North for your compass and set your course. Then enjoy the ride!
PS: It’s not too late for your “15 for 50″ call. I’ve extended the offer for a few more days. So, if your plans are not shaping up as easily or quickly as you’d like, consider a special Compass Call: that’s a quick dive with me into Dimensional Exploration to confirm your direction or choose your next step.

Surprise!!! – Richard’s Commentary
March 28, 2013 — RichardWhile thinking about my response to Rosemary’s article on this subject I received an email from a mentor/teacher/friend, a deep scholar and also a gifted astrologer, about the energies of the times we are experiencing. I’m quoting a bit of his latest offering to set the stage for my thoughts about surprises.
More on the BIG astrology now – it IS that important – from Chris
“The aspects of the end of this week represent a rupture in consensus reality. In other words, what we take to be true about ourselves, our community, our nation, and our planet could be challenged or expanded (or both). My best advice is that if we see an opening in the “medieval fort” of everyday, programmed awareness, we should run through that opening.
“The possibilities for expanding consciousness are huge. But we have to choose to engage with those possibilities. We have to step outside the fort and challenge things we take for granted.”
Chris Largent
Surprise!!! A “rupture in consensus reality” certainly has the element of surprise embedded in it! Wow! But what does this really mean?
We have been anticipating big shifts with all the thought-energy, the expectations generated around 2012. While much of the hype is gone, many understand that the Winter Solstice, 2012, was a turning point, not THE EVENT itself. We are now in the midst of that long turn. Some are suggesting that we may see big shifts with the Summer Solstice as the transformation to a new era begins to unfold in earnest. And many astrologers are aligning events in the Heavens with the correspondences of ancient calendars to conclude big things are happening.
Beliefs are certainly shifting and rapidly. Just look at one example around the issue of same-sex marriage rights. No matter what side of this issue you might support there has been an incredible, rapid shift in American acceptance of the LGBT Community and their rights to equal treatment under the law! Consensus reality is reforming here in a surprisingly positive direction. Chris goes on to say:
“The consciousness doors that open now will allow for big inner and outer shifts through the summer of 2014 – but the opening is NOW.”
Rosemary has this to say about consensus reality:
“As a human being, it is easy to fall into the trap of always wanting to be in control of your life. That would be nice. But the Earth is inhabited by other human beings who also want to be in control of their lives. What happens when these two desires collide?”
What happens is, willing or not, consensus reality is reformed around that collision. Of course it doesn’t have to be a collision! Chris says:
“…we are like currents in a river. In other words, we look at the world in terms of fluid processes (and whole systems). If we look closely at our lives, that’s what we see: we flow within larger patterns, and we create patterns as our life-processes flow with other life processes.”
I love this analogy of lives that flow together, but there’s no doubt that there is colliding yet to come as we bump through the next months of transformation! As consensus reality dissolves around us we need to be prepared for the reformation of our reality. These are exciting times! And while I don’t always like surprises (I’m one of those people who likes to be in control) I am now at a stage of life where anticipation of big changes and moving forward on the evolutionary path of consciousness is very appealing.
What other cultural surprises might we anticipate? Well, they wouldn’t be surprises if we knew about them in advance! Are you prepared for the long predicted and anticipated shifts? Are you ready for the BIG SURPRISE?
