Finding Hope in a Time of Change

I originally wrote these words back in 2008. I found them again recently and thought they were just as valid now.

The world is changing fast, much faster than we are sometimes aware of. If you are a regular reader or watcher of the news you may find at times that the world seems to be losing its mind. Everywhere we look there is some new drama or tragedy, some new reason to be afraid for our future. Yet all is not lost.

Change is a dynamic that is a vital factor in the flow of life. Everything is in flux, a flowing stream of many potentials. Without change there is stagnancy. With so many changes that are occurring there is also a lot of fear. This comes from two main factors. Fear is a very human reaction to change and if you add the media's propagation of fear to the equation then you will see why so many are anxious about our future.

We have become increasingly separate from the aspect of ourselves that can inform and guide us through challenging changes, and this has been replaced by outside sources to which we have become beholden to for informing our view of the world. These sources of information affect us deeply and play a large part in how we see ourselves in this life.

Finding hope in this day and age is extremely important as this hope is a source of motivation in building a future that will benefit all. That hope lies within us, waiting for the time that we turn inward to once more find our own inner guidance.

Every time that we find that peace and harmony that we have within us, whatever path we may use to seek it, we bring that peace, that harmony into the world. It becomes a living vibration that emanates into the world around us through the threads that connect all life. Our own inner journey to find our own answers and transformation catalyses the energy of change and we become a part of it.

We have a truth within us that contains the awareness of our every potential. This is the living light of our being that has remained intimately aware of our own unique place in this world and all the possibility it contains. While spiritual truth has been masked and overwritten in the building of traditions and religions, the awareness within has always remained unedited, uncensored, waiting to be discovered. If we wish to understand the purpose of our existence then we do not need to go anywhere to find it, we already have it.

We are multi-dimensional beings, intimately connected to the planet that is our home. All the wisdom and experience that we need is within that connection and is there to inform us from inside; we then become attuned to a greater message of hope. While all is in change, each one of us in our own way can affect and be a part of this flow of change in a way that can influence its outcome. We have the creative capacity to build together any world we wish. This is our heritage, to be our own saviours, not waiting for visitors from heaven, but doing it ourselves through finding the light we each have and shining it brightly into the world.

We are not powerless, quite the opposite, we have all the power that is needed, we only need to find it within ourselves and hold it as our own. Many are doing this already and this is increasing the possibility for others to do so as well. The awareness that we carry every day we live, touches everyone we meet and communicates itself into the very fabric of creation.

So never lose hope, we can join with the changes and guide them to a positive future. We need not ever be afraid of change for it is only life in action and it is the doorway to freedom of possibility.
