And the beat goes on… and on… and on….. The drums of war – of war with ideas and concepts; with ourselves and each other; and perhaps, worst of all, with our own inner truth – are moving from a distant drone to a vibration in the chest, as they move closer to home.
Decision time. No longer something ‘out there’ to be observed and dismissed as not my business, the time fast approaches for us each to begin to ponder: who will I choose to be when it’s my time? How will I choose to engage when the knock is at my door and not at some seemingly innocuous door in a video clip from the other side of the world?
Fear produces paralysis. And fear can also be a catalyst to emerge into a more powerful state of Being. Allowing ourselves to consider… ponder… wonder. Intentionally taking action to watch, listen and read; inform ourselves without having to take any specific action, in this moment. Creating our lives as a much, much larger Space within which we can move from our positions on things… from the illusion of our absolute truths… and allow the light of discovery to awaken us to the recognition of the fluidity of ‘truth’ when proffered from an external source.
Now is the time to deepen and strengthen that connection… inside and at the base of the spine… that allows for our own inner cues to become more accessible. Perhaps, as we watch (particularly) the Western worlds ramp up their unique brands of chaos, rather than look away we can reclaim the power of our attention to look inside… where we live. The alternative may well be a fool’s game.
The following sound clip was taken from a recent 4-hour exploration of Navigating Chaos: Touchstone for Transformation. Perhaps it will offer you some meaningful food for thought.
