Why Pause is Essential

Perhaps our problem isn't that we need to consume more information, more news, or more advice, but that we hesitate to pause - STOP, even during a global hiatus. What if asking looks like receiving a breather, to embark on the most important journey of our lifetime. The voyage inward. This time off could be the answer we've been consciously or unconsciously longing for since Donal Trump graced the oval office. And maybe, we've been so conditioned to produce and do-stuff, that we've failed to recognize who we are when we aren't working. Possibly, our desperate cry brought us to this juncture, but we can hardly understand it? Practically speaking, we should be able to. I do suspect, many of us are struggling with heard mentality - achieve or be eaten alive by the matrix! While this may or may not apply to you, it begs the question, why now?

Why do so many of us insist on continuing to operate in knee-jerk responses? Do you ever stop and wonder, who is choosing this for you? It's time to reconsider, reimagine, dig-deep, and find the realness of what matters and discard the rest. Every choice, every bit of time, is useful - in that it belongs to you, you get to decide more or less what you want to do with it. The infinite potential of that simple truth is quite epic, the secrets of the universe encoded in our DNA - inside a delicate space of possibility - narrates a far more exciting and magical story. That something so profound and beautiful and powerful is hiding in lucid reality. And it's argued there are unseen forces or powers shall we say, that do not want you to know about it. What with our unlimited access to entertainment, quick-fix solutions, and instant gratification - it's no wonder we get so distracted by the mundane. For us to create a less anxious engagement with life, we have to realize our interconnectedness. To become aware and awake means to acknowledge our global community. The actual web that connects us all within a biodiverse network that includes humans, animals, and plants alike. Uniting a planet that's exhausted by human overconsumption, is not going to be easy. But we have to know that we are not separate, we are all connected.

All I'm saying is the universe is wildly creative, and so are you! SO to journey inward is similar to recalibrating with nature. To be included, we have to choose to participate. Within this sphere of power, we can adventure into mystical and supernatural territory previously unaccessible. This is our time. Wholeness and integration are more available now than ever. Trust the currents. WE are not here to just produce and consume, we are here to create and connect. No doubt - this is a wild time to be alive, despite the challenges we face as a society, the earth is in a crisis. We have to challenge the fabric of time. Enter into the psychic wastelands of our collective dream, and re-write the story from within.
