Mother Ship is coming...

Ok so I don't think the Mother Ship is coming for us

on 12/21/12

I don't think the world is going to crack open and swallow us whole

Or we're going to be hit by the largest asteroid, or tidal wave or whatever

But I have been noticing something

Among the virtual and physical people I cross paths with

Ok here's the disclaimer

so that I'm not accused of thinking I know everything

In seeking, I can't help but observe

And in this case I've noticed this happening to so many unrelated people

That it's just too damned intriguing for me to ignore

So these are just my thoughts

You don't have to agree...or read

Something seems to be ramping up

Something that has ruffled the feathers of routines

Something that is stirring up all the things that have been stuffed deep inside

Bringing them to the forefront, rattling around

and muddying our consciousness like loose silt in a creek

Many of us don't like change

We want to continue doing what we're doing how we're doing it

We want stuff to stay hidden in the mental compartments we've locked them away in

We want to continue behaving in socially acceptable ways

We want to be accepted, or admired, or belong or whatever

 It's worked fine...why change it

So when things start rattling around either mentally or in our physical environment

We react in fear or anger

We take part in road rage, find fault in others, feel excluded, manifest illnesses

we compare ourselves, we judge, we look for outward reasons

Because we want to avoid the discomfort of looking at ourselves

Of turning around and confronting the crap that is stirring around

But what if like silt, sand and gravel in a creek

Once at rest it all starts creating a dam-like blockage

What if all the stuffing and conforming and wanting to be like or whatever

has created a build up in our consciousness 

that is blocking our growth or full potential

So what if instead of it being the end of the world

It's the end of the world AS WE KNOW IT

Because although we live in the same world

My experience in it is different than yours because of my perspective

So perhaps it should read

Time to change our perspective 

And this year seems to be insisting that people change their perspectives

And what's more intriguing than the Something I've noticed

is what people are doing in response to this Something

I'll ignore the angry, finger pointing bunch

They'll never change and will continue manifesting more of the same in their lives

But the ones I admire the most are those who look outside and then turn inside

Those who look at their illness and ask 'ok body, what are you trying to tell me'

And they begin to heal the inside while the doctor heals the outside

 Those who can honestly say they feel hatred or deep contempt for someone

And ask what is it in myself that is causing this hatred and how can I change it

Those who are confronting monetary or social battles 

By looking at what it is they are ignoring in their own lives

The observing has been intriguing

Mostly because if I'm in a room with several people and just listen

I can begin to see the division

between those who are going through a change and those who are resisting

beyond the smiles and beyond the words

Like a radiating light, or lack thereof

I started this year resisting

And quickly discovered that the Universe was having none of it

I was forced to confront situations that made me realize what I was doing

And in doing so I have cleared some major blocks to my growth

That doesn't mean there aren't certain people

I wouldn't gladly drag to the edge and push in 

when the world cracks open

cuz I'm only human

(grin, grin)

But in reality
What an amazing thing to have people begin embracing their full potential
And start taking full responsibility for their behaviors

So of course now the only tune in my head is R.E.M

singing "It's the end of the world as we know it...and I feel fine."
