I guess i have grown out of the idea of an external event coming to save the day. I don't think we are going to see disclosure , ascension or 4th density at the end of our life time or a higher self coming to save us when it all goes wrong ( Although i do believe all the things i mentioned are true). However i do believe all of these things will happen only when we take action to evolve ourselves and learn to see the love/light in the present moment.
Its my honest opinion that people in "new age" or spiritual communities put to much energy into looking for something to come and save the day, rather than focusing on the here and now.
I often hear people saying to give up regret of the past and fear of the future. I fully agree with this statement but i will also add that it might be wiser to give up hope for the future. This at first might sound a little strange but if we keep putting our hopes into external future events we are only setting our selves up for a fall in my opinion, just look at the whole 2012 event ha. I think it would then rather be wise to find faith in the present moment than hope in the future or perhaps even better put is the quote, free beer tomorrow! (For those who don't get the joke, it points to the fact tomorrow never comes
)
During my meditation practice i have begun to experience the present moment more and more. The direct realization that the past and the future are simply an illusion created from the present moment, yet provide a most intense learning experience. To find the love/light in the present moment is all that is needed in my view. No complex metaphysics, play on words, or games of one up man ship.
I took a long hard look at my self and realize i had put my faith and hope into something that's an illusion. Once i realized it for what it is, i laughed.
Once i had let go of the future and the hopes i had put in it, i found a new sense of balance. Just letting go, thoughts/emotion dissolving into the original thought.
I created this post in hopes that others might learn something perhaps in there own way. I summed up my way in 3 simple points, these are,
1. Going within the self through meditation.
2. Non Harming.
3. Service to others.
The same message i believe that every religion and channeled text has said at heart. Its easy to forget the simple and most powerful lessons in a veil of complex word play. I guess this is my message.
