Cranking up your Conscious Evolution - Seeds for 2010

Because of the risk (for me) of ‘banging on’ till the cows come home, herewith a very few little ‘seeds’ for your ‘consciousness garden’ going forward.

The usual New Years resolution list has never really worked for me on its own. I operate much more effectively with intentions. Goals are time bound and measurable (and a fantastic way to take action) whereas for me clear intentions relate to a bigger picture and leave me more room for serendipity to help out! To stay focused on the ‘what‘ seeded from a clear ‘why‘ means the ‘how‘ can be supported from unlimited quarters.

Dare yourself to have an intention that is very clear at an emotional level - how do you want to feel in 12 months time for instance - about your life, your work, your contribution, your happiness....really imagine into what you’d love to be able to say about the past 12 months - as if it was already December 2010...build in the potential for great stories of miracles...ham it up...”You wouldn’t believe the amazing things that happened to me....” you don’t even need to know what that ‘thing’ was - it doesn’t matter because what you want to go for is the feeling. If you really want to go for it - write it down...”Reflections on 2010”...make it a backwards glance and summarise the quality of the past year. Werner Erhard once said “The best way to predict the future is to invent it”!

What happens next is truly miraculous....your Universe starts aligning with that feeling state. Stay conscious and notice the signals you get - like in that childhood game of hot and cold....notice your responses to the things you get to decide about. One choice takes you towards what you say you want and the other takes you away....what do you want? Choose it. It’s that simple. Then actively move towards it because it wont come to you, it will meet you on the road. So stay present to your own experience and notice what you notice.

Along the way there will be obstacles - challenges to respond to. Seeing these obstacles and challenges as part of the trip is vital if you are not going to fall into despondency. The obstacles can help us ‘compost’ any residual ‘handbrakes’ on our personal evolution.

If you really want to accelerate your growth, bring together some like minds and hearts - co-create a group of conscious co-creators. 4 - 6 people is good. The purpose is to meet regularly (about once a month - six weeks) and each have a ‘space’ to share over a meal or drinks/snacks. The point is to offer each other an opportunity to share your truth - express your feelings, and attempt to view your life and the goings on in the world with evolutionary eyes - the small number means you can consciously communicate and hear each other, empower each other, offer different perspectives with a view to increasing your awareness of your potential growth in your life and where you are being directed. You will grow as an individual - guaranteed. It can be helpful to the process for your first get together to be about your process - just to get clear on people’s needs and values, how they want to be treated etc. Over time you will learn to move beyond the judgements of what is happening to an open enquiry as to what creation itself is seeking to serve - and co-operating with that impulse.

I am in such two such groups and have been meeting for many years and the dynamic just keeps evolving as we all grow and our needs change and evolve. The main benefit for most of us seems to be the space - a neutral oasis that is also biased towards personal responsibility, growth and evolution - open hearts and minds in other words. We swap information about things of interest going on or that we are reading or seeing on the internet and we all have a chance to share where we are at - how we are traveling and seeking wisdom if required. It is not a therapy group and it’s not a social thing other than that we are together. It is a purposeful gathering to enhance conscious evolution on the planet...our contribution in the scheme of things may feel small - and - we trust it is nevertheless significant!!

Lastly, intend to become more conscious of your use of language. How we use language impacts actions and feelings...I frequently hear the words “I don’t care “ when the person really means “I don’t mind”....consider the difference in both statements. There are squillions of examples of this where we get sloppy with our language - so say what you mean and mean what you say. The quality of your communication will go through the roof!

Finally finally...continue (as I am sure you do now) to find more and more ways to add more love to the world rather than more fear.

SUMMARY - SEEDS

1. Create clear intentions that align with your deepest motivations for your ‘wild and glorious life’.
2. Notice what you notice - and take action that supports your intentions.
3. See obstacles with ‘evolutionary eyes’ - ie: is the feedback from your environment indicating you are on track (hot) or off track (cold)? Be vigilant with your own truth and integrity - they are your guides. Compost your crap (with expert help if necessary).
4. Get together with like-minded others as conscious evolutionaries and have conscious conversations that expand your current perceptions.
5. Stay conscious of your language.
6. Add more love rather than fear to the Whole.

Conscious Evolution is the best adventure in town. As we learn more and more about our own real story as an ever-evolving species, we humans are getting to write and live our own fairytale - consciously.

Let’s go for a happy ending for each and every Soul.
