Elon Musk, Donald Trump, and me








     It's hard not to hear about Elon Musk and Donald Trump these days, both are over-sized personalities acting big on the global stage.  They both represent change, but in different ways and they are both seen by millions of people.  What can we learn from them about ourselves as individuals and as a collective humanity?  That is what I intend to explore here from my perspective.

     I have written previously that we are, whether we know it or not, in a period of major change and a time when all are being called to attend to themselves at a higher level.  What does this mean?  It means that in the Now we are being asked to what more we do want, do we want to align more closely with what is within each of our hearts and are we strong enough to let go of old patterns of being?   The energy of the Now is supporting a higher way of being and we are encouraged to move into it.  Sometimes this may mean a smooth transition and sometimes it may mean challenges can confront some of us.  As we've witnessed with nature in recent times, many are faced with their homes and lives completely uprooted and destroyed, while many others only see this on TV.  Take stock of where you are energetically, are you excited for the future or are you in fear about it?

     Recently Elon Musk gave a long interview where he spoke of a lot of things relating to his pursuits and his vision and how he is working to manifest it.  He said that his mind was always filled with thoughts even as a child, and he feared that he was different and might be deemed insane.  Yet he found a way to educate himself and enter the business world to channel his strong impulses into his desires.  His passion for technology is indisputable, and the things he is working on (Tesla, SpaceX, etc.)  are having a positive impact on creating new possibilities in the larger collective consciousness.  He is a great example of a creator in action, using his many talents and potentials, something that we each can do more in our own lives if we consciously choose.

     Make no mistake, we are each creating every day.  Our individual realities we see are an out picturing of our own choices and actions.  While we live in a planet filled with people we are each in some respects within our own reality bubble of what we wish to entertain.  Naturally, there is some interplay between us because we share this reality, yet now it is more important to focus on ones self instead of being distracted by all of the noise.  Taking a few minutes to center our selves at the beginning and end of the day will invite in a greater sense of peace and security that is tangible if done regularly.

     Donald Trump, the current President of the USA, is another person who is affecting the larger consciousness of the world due to his strong desire to be seen.  His election and seating into office has set off a firestorm of conversations between billions of people.  Everyone who knows of him is challenged to see him and decide where they will stand in relation to him.  He has come into this position in order to provoke and prod the "status quo"  in ways that are judged to be good or bad, depending on your viewpoint.  In metaphysical parlance he is a "service to self" being who is having a great challenge finding a way to benefit the greater good as President.  Anyone who has been alive in the United States over the last 35 years has seen him and how he operates, it hasn't changed, just magnified many fold.  My guides have told me he is being "given time" to continue to impact the world and that he would go down in history as being a great change-maker.  They did not indicate how that would be perceived by those who see him.  We will have to leave that up to the future.

     Our general feeling of restlessness and discomfort is not just provoked by the current American President.  And these feelings aren't confined to just the United States either.  It is a global phenomenon of the increasing change brought on by our planet stepping up its vibration to hold 5th dimensional consciousness.  While it is tempting to look to the past as a way to create the future, what is coming is going to require each of us to go into our own unknown places within ourselves to find the answers and the actions we each will take.  As the saying goes, it is insanity to keep doing the same things expecting a different result.  I'll add that it's also not as much of an option to keep doing the same things expecting that more of the same that you have will be enough going forward.  It is likely that it will not be so.  We are here to create our desires on this plane and to live those choices out and this means moving forward.  It doesn't have to be earth-shattering like Trump and Musk, it just has to be a living out of your intent taking one step higher than you have gone previously.

Consciousness - do you want more of it?

     A life, a world, is the product of the consciousness that creates it.  It can be no other way.  We all fluctuate between lower and higher consciousness and through making conscious intentional effort we can move to begin to stabilize our awareness at a higher level.  By doing this we are allowing more of who we really are to inhabit our human self, providing new ideas, fresh insights and new opportunities for action.  All is moving forward, whether we acknowledge it or not.  New generations are being born that are only focused on living fully in this new paradigm that is emerging.  We, who have lived through the old paradigm are also invited to participate as well.

     It does not require that you sell all of your possessions, quit your job and find a monastery to meditate in.  It does require looking at one's habitual patterns of living and seeing what you would like to change and then taking some action to make something different happen in your reality.  Despite all of the changes going on in the external world there is no reason not to give yourself the gift of more of what you do want into your life.   Feel the fear of changing and do it anyway!

     There will be a lot of people who do not want their reality bubble to change and they will fight to keep it that way.  Bless them and move towards those who you resonate with instead.  Remember, it is a time, especially in the next 6 months, to focus on yourself and what YOU want to happen.  Try not to gawk at all of the social and political upheavals that will be ongoing.  They only affect you if you choose to be affected.  All is moving forward and those calls to return to some mythical time of "good old days" will not happen.  There is only this moment and the more that each of us focuses on improving our piece of it, the better things will become.

Healer of change
     
     As a healer of change, my instrument of healing in this moment are the words that I write.  My intent is to get you thinking about you and your unique journey.  What do you want next?  If it is connected to your passion then it is likely a very welcome thing indeed.  We are all passing through this life and none of us will be here forever in this specific form.  It is our choice as to how we live and what we decide.  That is living on a planet of free-will, free-choice.  That means the not-so-great choices can be made and experienced too.  Every choice, every action is a learning opportunity.

     The world we currently live in is created by a set of agreements by us as a species.  When a species starts to move into higher consciousness, the old ways of doing things will not suffice anymore and there is now a search for new ways of doing things.  Just as Tesla motors is changing the face of the global auto industry, so are others creating change in all sectors of society.  Just as the President of the United States is acting "out of character" of a typical President means he is creating change as well, albeit in a very odd and often uncomfortable way.

Comfort zone- good or bad?

     It is perfectly natural to want stability and a good degree of certainty in your life.  You want to be able to rely that your job, your home, health and your partner will be there when you need them.  Occasionally this is not the case as we all know.  To strive for stability is natural.  What I am suggesting is that change is the path to stability at a new level.  Imagine crossing a stream and jumping from one rock to another.  Eventually you will have to leap over the water to the next stepping stone.  You might fall in the stream but it is not deep so even if you do all that will happen is you get a bit wet and move on to the next stone and quickly over the stream where your journey continues.  This example is a metaphor for what we are each facing.  You can be excited about where your journey is leading you to or you can grumble about it, however you are on the journey like me and everyone else.  Start to imagine that the unknown path that we are all walking is not a scary place but instead a place of true prosperity and goodness, I know it's hard to overcome fearing the unknown, I just ask you to think about the possibility that the "more" that you are leading yourself to is filled with great promise.

Take control of you 

     The longer one lives a life, the greater the opportunity there is to gain wisdom and wisdom is very useful in making choices, isn't it?  We all have a tendency to one degree or another want to control outcomes in our lives, in order to ensure we have what we want and to have that stability I speak of.  One of the jewels of wisdom is to know that the only thing we can truly control is ourselves and how we act and react to what is in our purview.  Ask yourself:  "Am I doing a good job of creating the life that I want or not?  Do I even know what the life I want looks like?"  Have a conversation with yourself.  If it is appropriate, invite in change to your life so that you will have more of what you want.  Loosen your grip on what you do not want.  Look at what you are clinging to and ask yourself if you are willing to let it go to make space for something better to come into your life.  Any action one takes towards creating a better life will be met by unseen (but not unfelt) energies of support that will work with you.  But you've got to make the first step.  Choose well, and choose for you first!
