In your new life, you are an infant

>>>In your new life, you are an infant. You look at a world that is foreign now, yet also exactly the same. You see, feel, hear and know the mist of change that swirls around inside you.

As you experience your life now, you hear yourself saying, "How did that happen? I wasn't expecting it; I didn't plan it." More and more, things are just happening. You seem to be floating in a sea of possibilities. If you relax into the Flow of the ONE, you can find the Center Current to easily travel to your next destination. This location or experience may be a total surprise, as well as exactly what you have wanted but dared not ask for.

In your new life, you don't ask. Instead, you receive. Possibilities drift before you as though they are sparkles of light on a gently moving stream.

Yes, sometimes your vision blurs and you can no longer see the stream of light. It is then that your hearing diminishes and you no longer hear the quiet flow of possibilities as they impinge upon your heart and mind. It is then that you regress into the "you" that you no longer are, and forget the "you" that you have become. Then, instead of living in the Flow, you find yourself living in the shadow of doubt. Within this doubt are fear, depression, anxiety, sorrow and anger.

Fortunately, in your new life, you can remember to ignore fear and focus on love. You can do this because, in your new life, there is love. This love is not just romantic love or love of family and friends, but love of life. Love of life was not abundant before. You could visit that feeling, but it was difficult to stay.

Now, in your new life, it is fear that is the visitor, and love that resides within you. In your new life, you love all of life because you love ALL of you.

Yes, judgment tries to invade your thoughts, but compassion is the antidote and acceptance the cure. You know this because you understand that all is as it should be in the NOW of the ONE. You also recognize that the Flow must wash ashore that which needs to be removed. Once the obstacles of life were barriers, but now they are that which is ready to be released, that which is ready to be transmuted from leaden fear into golden love. You have patience for this process because while you are ONE with the Flow you are also ONE with the NOW. Hence, there is no "time."

Of course, you still fall out of the flow, out of the NOW and out of the ONE. It is then that you forget that you are ONE with your SELF, your Planet, your Solar System and your Galaxy. You forget that you are no longer a finite person gazing into infinity, but an infinite being gazing into a finite reality. With that forgetfulness, you believe the illusions of limitation and feel the separate from your surrounding world.

In your new life, you have just awakened from a long, long sleep of forgetfulness. Because you have awakened, you no longer believe the limitations, as you remember they are not real. You can also see through the veil of separation, to perceive the ONE.

At first, it was difficult to wake up because you still listened to and cared about what other sleeping ones told you. But now, you have awakened, and you can clearly see those who are awake and those who still slumber. The Sun of a new reality is rising just above the horizon. Many sleeping ones fear the rising Sun, as they still believe that the ending is worse than the new beginning. Fortunately, in your new life, there are no endings. In fact, there are no beginnings. Ending and beginning are finite terms, concepts that created the dreams of your long sleep.

Now, you can dream freely, for you are awake and your dreams are real. You know your dreams are possibilities that travel within the Flow of the ONE, and you can easily step into a dream or choose to step into another dream, another reality. Your choice is made, not by desire, but by surrendering to the Flow of the SELF to whom you have awakened. Your SELF is the rest of you that you didn't know while you were still asleep.

In your new life, your SELF expands more and more each day. Sometimes you still fall out of the Flow, just as a toddler falls between steps. But, like a persistent toddler, you are aware that your new life has many wonders to explore.

Each day, new adventures float into your life. Each day, you take another step into your new reality, your new SELF. When you fall, which you often do, you can hear your SELF encouraging you to continue. Then, when your try again, you can FEEL your inner SELF reminding you that you don't need to try. Instead, you can just relax and surrender to the Flow of the ONE.

When you surrender, you instantly remember that,
in you new life you are an infant.<<<
