Life Journeys # 33

Right now is a good time to stop and have a look at where you are.  Not where you are physically on this planet, but rather where you are on your journey through this lifetime.  We talk about having a goal, something to aspire to and whether that goal is defined right down to the nth degree or whether it’s fairly nebulous and free-flowing is kind of irrelevant.  What is important is the actual journey.  Are you still following your path towards your goals?  Ask yourself, “How’s it going so far?”

Many Starseeds/Lightworkers (or whatever you prefer to call yourself) have wonderful ideals at the start of their journey.  They have plans to safeguard humanity.  To work together to build a better reality.  They are going to ‘awaken’ the sleepers, heal the infirm, and sort out the inequalities and injustices of this world.  They are going to jump into 5D, or New Earth, or Ascend to somewhere.  They are going to become One.  I know all about this… that’s the path every neophyte steps onto, and it was my path too, at one time. 

Then you work out that it’s not your place to try to fix things for other people – and that trying to do so has huge potential for building a karmic imbalance.  You discover that the thing you need to do before anything else is ‘fix’ you.  You need to work on Self.  You need to learn to be able to sit in Silence.

That is why we need to review our path every now and then.  Your path should never remain constant.  Why?  Because constancy holds a high risk of stagnation.  You should be studying, learning from the Ancient – and the modern – Masters; gaining knowledge and experience; and being an active part of your local community.  For example: actually helping individual people through volunteer work instead of talking about the greater horrors of our world that you, as an individual, cannot fix. 

And so, the wise person takes time out every now and then to review their journey, to look deeply and honestly at how they are moving through their life.  What are my aims?  Am I still pointing in the same direction as when I started out, and is that still where I feel it is right for me to travel?  Where can I gain more knowledge or experience?  Do I still have things in my past I need to deal with?  And how do these things that belong to me affect the well-being of the Collective?

The start of each year is a time of opportunity.  Opportunity for the individual and also opportunity for the human race to move forward in a positive way towards our future.  The problem is that we – as individuals and as the Collective – can miss those opportunities because we don’t notice that we have become bogged down with a heavy weight of irrelevant fluff.  And if we miss them… they are gone forever.
