A pathway to your sacred self in an age of anxiety

Many of us are experiencing an awakening as we realise to whom we have given a fair amount of authority over our collective lives. Our global narrative has been amplified with some surreal impending atrocities, whether it is by a storm of nature or a storm of conscious or unconscious thinking.

This is why, if you are truly observing from the heart, you might see an increase in transformational thinkers and doers wanting to return to a more inclusive and respectful culture. Organisations like the Shift Network have been working for years to create a narrative of inner shifting of our perceptions. Other groups like the Brahma Kumaris have been working for 80 years to transform perceptions that lead towards a more inclusive and united common sharing of our lives for a golden-aged world. Philanthropist Oprah Winfrey and authors ranging from Martha Beck, Dr. Bruce Lipton, the late Dr. Wayne Dyer and others have been serving our world through their work of raising the way we see ourselves and each other.

Our world is in need of honest conversations and a pathway to social and spiritual well-being. Rarely do we get to have real conversations in which we can talk openly and honestly about our hopes, fears, concerns, or personal dilemmas. Instead, we are becoming all too familiar with doom, gloom, disappointment and fear. There is a need for a kind of friendship that crosses the barriers of religion, gender, nationality, political party and even ideas. These are challenging times no doubt because we are each being challenged to dig deeper and aim higher while listening, speaking and doing life.

The consequence of living through an age of great anxiety and fear is enormous in its immediate response, but it is also a means to move us towards a golden-aged state of awareness. It’s a state of great respect, kindness, generosity and appreciation. It’s a state of acknowledging the power of love in all of God’s children as they filter and sort out their attachments to old stories of pain that have carried their perceptions in a way that makes it normal for us to think that a particular race, religion, gender or language is superior over another.

If we really look at the current state of the world right now, we might discover a deep sense of powerlessness that brings rise to fear, anxiety and a conflict of spiritual values. Pope Francis, Dalai Lama, Dadi Janki, the late Nelson Mandela and others have been guiding us to choose love over hate or fear. But, why don’t we hear them? Is it because of the stories of our wounds, or insecurities that we own that might prevent us from hearing this simple solution towards world peace? Or, have we missed the real cause of the disease of hate, fear, separation and greed?
