The Upheaval of Swift Unexpected Change



No one is prepared for the shock or heartache when the moment arrives. The wave of disbelief is felt throughout the entire body which quickly sends out messages of fear. Looking for the good side meets with uncertainty in the early days because you don’t have the strength to cope with problem solving. Breathing is slow and trance-like as you stare into an abyss of fog. All planning and routine have fallen as you are stuck in a place you haven’t been before. You know there is a way round these feelings, but there is no hurry to achieve. The emotional experience must be fulfilled in order for healing and growth to emerge.

Swift change is a shocking and life changing event! Whether it is a death, a lucky escape, a job loss, a serious injury, an altered relationship, financial distress, or a natural disaster, it’s new territory that brings a great sense of loss. Initially it’s a flight or fight response, but responsibility brings you back to the decision making that has to take place. Life is constantly moving and altering, though most manage a daily routine that involves family and employment. We are all on the unstable foundations which the earth provides, but we have built a billion houses on that without too much stress. Nothing in our lives is a fixed as we would like it to be, but we are taught to look on the positive side because this creates happiness and a sense of direction, purpose and meaning. There is no point dwelling on ‘what-ifs,’ when you can be leading a life of love, creativity and satisfaction.

When the upheavals comes work through it at your own pace. Life is a beautiful experience dotted with the bleak moments that need love, support and compassion. The focus of life is to experience joy in all its forms – if you can’t find some joy in life you need to create the swift positive changes that make life wonderful again. Sometimes you have to embody the strength of a warrior to accomplish the tasks that will release you from burden and create a new direction. Determination and confidence goes a long way when you can see your new vision rising.

There is a new year, a new month, a new day and a new minute that you are here. All you have to do is make decisions on what to do next. The mind is always young, the heart is always yearning and the senses need the experience’s that make life joyous. You are the director of your life’s journey – make plans that support your spiritual well-being!

Women’s Rights via Revolution, No 71

Image
  The breadcrumbs of misogyny are easily seen in a history of women’s suffering and denial of rights. Patriarchal religious societies that purposely put men first for at least two thousand years are now witnessing its noxious failure. Corrupt governments that are self-focused are quickly measured by angry public sentiment. Governments without gender balance have become dens of mistrust. Lack of respect towards women in male dominated workplaces can be uncomfortable or become dangerous. Systemic sexism developed slowly; its design seeping toxically through millennia and distorting daily life. Parent’s desires to have boys, because they could work and support their parents in retirement and carry on the family name, only added to social attitudes towards girls and women. Words and language used to restrict or belittle females flourished in older writings where they were often portrayed in extremes for their value as virgin brides, harlots, mothers or Saints. Women’s education was oft

The Futurist

Image
The future is a sort of unattainable place, the moment you’re there it becomes the present and shortly after the past. Though people are always in the present, their minds spend a great deal of time speculating about future developments or the ideal life. Time is also spends time sifting through relevant past experiences that benefit the present. Its little wonder people have trouble with concentration and focus. How will the future look, will it be people friendly and can the natural world sustain growing global communities? It is the job of the futurist to contemplate, calculate and create inspired plans that may become a living reality. The futurist is a visionary with an analytical mind for calculations. These are very different places for the mind to congregate; the creative visionary and mathematical analyst would more often be two distinct people. This combination of traits offers a unique outlook. The futurist could be a scientist, inventor, creative genius or phil

The Evolution of Future Sensitives, No. 69

Image
In order to combat global deterioration, heightened sensitivity is evolving. This seed in many is strong and focused, though not given the world platform needed to grow in the general populous. Human nature is moving away from aggression in very slow increments because its purpose is limited. Survival has not moved far from prehistoric models, people are still threatened by other people and changes in nature. Unfortunately, a percentage of misleading companies and governments have the power to destroy who or what they like for continued profit. Though humanity needs some sort of governance to avoid chaos, overt control over populations creates even more conflict. Only gentle compassionate leadership is needed to create stable and fair civilisations. It’s not hard to see that our time on a liveable planet is limited. Prevention is a better place to be because some things are not curable. The enemy has a human face and greed through socially advancement is its vehicle. This is
