I just summarized some of the emails I’ve been getting. What do you think? How long do you think it will take for us to create the New World?  (Photo credit)

History tells how change happens

When we look into history, it is clear that NONE of the social changes happened when the general public was ready. Changes are initiated by only a handful of individuals. Even they don’t really know where things are going, but they get going anyway. Eventually (sometimes faster than you think) it collects momentum. By the time people notice, the change is happening already and there is no going back. Whoa.

Think of the French Revolution. Initially, people were just frustrated with high taxes and widespread poverty, and wanted to have some say in politics. So the meeting of Estates-General (something like the congress, with representatives elected by voting) was held in May 1789. Some of the representatives of this meeting, however, were brilliant — they were those handful of individuals who had a vision, at least a vision to get started.

Things developed quickly. But even when the citizens took arms and assaulted the Bastille on July 14, most people weren’t thinking of de-crowning the king, not to mention killing him. They were thinking of modified, constitutional monarchy, not the end of monarchy. The king got executed in January 1793.

Okay, that was a bloody crazy social change, with considerable backlash. Then how about the information revolution that we went through?

When Bill Gates first said, “A computer on every desktop,” people sneered. Computers in those days were huge and expensive. But he, along with some other bright people, had a vision.

Do you remember when you first got your email address? I was attending college in 1996 when they assigned email addresses to all students and faculty. Many people didn’t know what to do with it. I remember quite a few fellow students still wrote their term papers by hand and then typed them up with the computers in the library, instead of using typewriters. To connect to the internet back then, people used phone modems.

By 1999, home computers and the internet got so big it caused ridiculous stock market surge — and crash. Okay, the stock crash was sad, but the important thing here is that, by then, it was unthinkable to live without computers and internet. Did the general public foresee it in as late as mid 1990s? No.

How many people does it take to change the world?

So I know it doesn’t take so many people to start changing the world. My question has been, exactly how many does it take? 10% of the population? No, I guess much less. 5%? 1%?

Well, I came across the answer in Gregg Braden’s book The Spontaneous Healing Of Belief. He maintains the minimum number required for the change is the square root of 1% of the population. (page 48) And this is based on the power of belief, not necessarily the direct actions.

The world population is assumed to be 6.797 billion as of this writing. So 8,245 or more people can change the world.

Are there 8,245 or more lightworkers out there? I think so. We are set for a change.

It’s not going to take another 100 years. I don’t honestly know if it can be done by 2012, but I am confident it will take a lot less time than some people naively think it would.

2012

While talking about 2012, check out the three part posts Evita Ochel published recently about a conference she attended. It’s called Choice Point 2012, featuring Gregg Braden, Bruce Lipton, and Alberto Villoldo.

Just the fact this kind of conference is held says something, doesn’t it? It probably attracted a large crowd. The so-called New Age is not about a few lightheaded special people any more. There are many of us — a lot more than 8,245, I bet.

The New World I envision

The link at the beginning of this post will take you to the summary post of my Creating the New World series, but let me share my vision of the New World again.

It is a world beyond dualism. There will be nothing that is not Love and Light. When all is Love and Light, all is Truth, and the world is naturally Abundant. It is a world of peace and harmony, where we celebrate our diversity. Each soul realizes their innate Power.

Each soul can live just as long as they want in good health because dis-ease is an abnormality. Everyone is a miracle worker. In other words, we will remember our extrasensory, so-called supernatural powers.

Will there be some kind of backlash or confusion before this New World materialize? Maybe. I’m envisioning even the end of monetary system, so some disorientation and adjustment will be necessary. Overall, however, I think things will be good.

As Akashic Record Reading specialist, I can observe how a soul ascend. I cannot make you ascend, however. What I can do is to share my personal thoughts on what is going on and what you can do about it.  (Photo credit)

Ascension symptoms

First of all, you do not need to know the word “Ascension” nor anything about it to ascend. The Ascension soul shift (new soul coming in to replace the old) happens like the first period — when the timing comes, it happens. Having said this, it helps to learn a little about it in advance so you know what is happening to you. Proper knowledge reduces unnecessary fear and anxiety. (Okay, if you are a man, just replace that word “first period” with your equivalent.)

So here is a list of Ascension symptoms you may recognize:

• Abrupt loss of interest in the people and things that held your interest before.
  You simply cannot do that job any longer, or tolerate that person any more. Done.
• Strange wanderlust or urge to relocate.
  You may just * know * where you need to be.
• Inner need to simplify life.
  “Why the heck am I carrying around this much of junk? I don’t even remember why I wanted them.” is a common sentiment. Declutter and donate your stuffs to Good Will. You may also get the urge to detox your own body.
• Sudden change in food preference.
  In my case, I woke up and found myself vegetarian. My body decided not to take meat any more (without consulting me, really). And a few times I persuaded and had some meat, I had to go to the bathroom quickly. Within a few months, eggs and dairy dropped off my shopping list as well. I now eat very close to Earth — vegetables and fruits.
• Sudden change in the taste to dress and decorate.
  With my Asian coloring, I know I look elegant in black dress — just add a bit of white and accent color, and voila! I look so good. I know this is still true, but I simply can’t bring myself to wear black any more. I love colors. These days, I dress like a crazy boho. Same with interior decoration. I used to love the serene Asian taste, with dark wood furniture. They started to look so dark, so when I moved, I dumped them, and bought the cheap white ready-to-assemble furniture at Target with color boxes. Aaaaah!
• Some people report having a sudden “spiritual awakening,” accompanied with the feeling of clarity and empowerment.
• Feeling spacy and detached from the rest of the world.
• Getting harder and harder to follow conventional thinking.
  “What the heck do I care (to keep up with the Jones, to stay in the status, to be organized and considerate, etc.)”
• Absolute need to rest and relax.
• Feeling younger or childlike.
  In fact, your friends may notice you look younger.
• Urge to do what you like to do.
  Again, like a small kid. Being in the joy becomes increasingly important to you, replacing other priorities.
• Change in sexual drive.
  Overall, I think the drive decreases but there may be periods of bouts. When you are happy just the way you are, there is not much need to seek out sexual pleasures.
• Change in sleep patterns.
  Sometimes you wake up at 3 or 4 am every night and okay with it. Sometimes you sleep 10 hours or take a long nap.
• Physical symptoms such as ringing in the ear, change in vision (sometimes daily), or strange itching and twitching around the body.
• And some report switching back and forth between the new way and the old way. Well, this can happen if you don’t allow yourself to be in the new way.

Each person’s sensitivity is different. An analytical soul, such as Alpha Centaurians or Blueprint Technicians, may notice little change while some souls may be wondering “What the world has happened to me?”

And these are not temporary symptoms. With Ascension soul shift, this is going to be your new way, so you are best to embrace the changes.

Ascension soul shift as rebirth

With Ascension soul shift, your existing soul crosses over without the physical death. And you receive a new version of soul. So it’s a way of being born again. What is great is we retain the body and the knowledge we have accumulated.

It’s like a software upgrade. With certain computer software, say Microsoft Money, you are offered a new version — Year 2009 version, for instance. It’s the same software — it’s not Microsoft Word. But it’s brand new and runs faster. All the learnings in the past have been incorporated into the new version.

You are the same person, yet you are new. So the best way to go around is to embrace the new you rather than resisting it.

Ascension soul shift is just the beginning

Because I can observe the soul shifts, I tend to think of Ascension from that perspective, but I know this is not all. Far from it. Ascension soul shift is just the beginning of Ascension process.

And where are we headed to? Becoming a lightbody and achieving immortality is one possibility. Remembering the various psychic / supernatural / extrasensory abilities we possess is another. And together, we are creating the New World, or the new version of heaven on Earth.

How to ascend

The way to ascend, then, is:

• To be open to this change, the shift of ages, the Ascension.
• To increase the vibration by aligning more with Divine Love, Light, Truth, Abundance and Power.
• To embrace the changes including Ascension soul shift.
• To live in the Now.

Being open is fundamental. We all have free will, and even if you are ready to ascend, if you refuse to do so, then you won’t. Lightworkers respect everyone’s free will.

Regarding how to increase the alignment with the five energy flows of Love, Light, Truth, Abundance, and Power, I’ve already written more than 10,000 words in the New World series, so I’m not going to repeat it here. The first post of the series, about Love, is here. Each of the five quality has a post and the post comes with action plans at the end, so please read them.

Ascension is about change. And you are not going to change when you cling onto your past. So the last two points, embracing the changes and living in the Now, are really the same thing.

Ascension is not about the future

Some of us get hang up with the anticipation of Ascension. I was that way only a while ago. This is, however, counterproductive. Ascension happens in the Now, not in the future. Or more accurately, Ascension is about breaking the illusion of time.

Ascension is a natural process, and you will be guided to do what you need to do. In a sense, you don’t have to try to ascend at all. Again, it comes like the period. You cannot help it. What you might want to do is to take good care of yourself, be in the joy, be in the Now, and be the Love and Light.

By the way, some readers pointed out that the Ascension symptoms resemble kundalini awakening. I’m not a yogi, so I don’t really know, but I’m sure spiritual practices like yoga and meditation are helpful.

Ascension is not about condemning physical body in favor of the spirituality

It’s true that many of us get the strong feeling that we are so “done”. Combined with the common myth in spiritual community that this physical world is something inferior to the spiritual world, it’s easy to start thinking that Ascension is about leaving this world, to be out of our physical body, to go somewhere better, be it called higher dimension or something else.

Wrong. We don’t ascend to the higher dimension. We are bringing in the higher dimension right here. There is no point in condemning our physical body and our life in this physical world because we are developing right in this body. Rather, Ascension is about mastering both the physical and spiritual lives and integrating them to one.

How to develop Lightbody

As you may have noticed, I’ve been learning about physical immortality recently. Which , I now understand, is the same thing as developing lightbody.

So how do you develop your lightbody? By the same way you ascend, by embracing your inner divinity.

I want to repeat one thing here. Don’t get so hang up about the future. If you keep thinking whether you can achieve immortality, whether you will die or not, then you will. Because your attention, your energy, is on death.

I personally don’t really care if I live forever or not. Some people say death is the dingy backdoor to heaven, and we should aim to enter there through the front door, by achieving immortality. I don’t really care which door I get to or when. I care how I’m doing Now — maybe the heaven can come to me rather than me driving up there. (Akemi driving is generally not a great idea. . .:) )

Some people say death is the ultimate source of fear. I doubt it. If the idea of “There will be no death” excites you, that’s great, because feeling good is critical. So for those of you, the idea of physical immortality works really well. For me, death looks like a revolving door. Just don’t leave any slippery stuff in front of it.

I’m not saying physical immortality is impossible or a bad idea. It’s a great idea that expands our consciousness, and I’m learning a lot from Janni, Robin and Kathy. I think everything they say relates to what I call Ascension. And I’m pretty sure they agree that immortality is not about the future, it’s about Now.

Do you have any questions about Ascension? I love questions, so shout at me in the comment!

What is Ascension?

Our Earth is increasing her energetic vibration rate. In other words, the Earth is ascending. This is affecting all her residents, like us, and many of us are experiencing the increase of our soul’s vibration rate. This is called Ascension or Light Ascension.

You don’t need to know the word Ascension or anything about it to ascend. You don’t need to be practicing any spiritual work such as meditation to ascend (although such practice can be tremendously helpful.)

When your soul’s vibration rate increases to a certain level, you may experience Ascension soul shift. I see this often in my Akashic Record Reading service. The existing soul completes its life lessons and a new soul, that comes from the same Higher Self, takes over. Again, this is a result of a combined effects of Earth’s Ascension and your personal spiritual development. It’s not all about you — there is grace brought by Earth.

What is Ascension soul shift?

Because the soul defines a big part of us, mentally, emotionally, and physically, the soul shift is a noticeable event. While each person experiences the shift differently, here is a list of common Ascension symptoms. You may experience all or some of them:

• Change in interests and aspirations. You are simply not interested in the people and things that kept your interest before. (Including disinterest in personal development or productivity hacks.)
• Inner need to detox, declutter, and simplify life.
• Strange wanderlust.
• Sudden spiritual “awakening”
• Change of food preference (many become vegetarian or even raw vegetarian)
• Change in sleep patterns
• Physical symptoms such as ringing in the ear, change in vision (sometimes daily), or strange itching and twitching around the body.
• Depression and anxiety are also common when the previous soul gets stuck, unable to move on after the new soul comes in.

The common theme in all these is that the change happens quite abruptly. It’s not something you planned or worked on to change.

I write about Ascension because there aren’t many resources out there to help people understand what is going on. If you went through these strange and unexplainable changes, don’t think you are crazy. I can help you. (Here is a list of other resources on Ascension that seem reliable to me.)

What will happen in 2012?

What will all these changes lead us to? I think we may be becoming lightbodies. Our physical body is a blessing, but it also presents various limitations. It may be time to evolve to something even better, which I call lightbody. In my understanding, lightbody can feed on light, not foods. And we can travel through time and space freely as lightbody.

Now a disclaimer: I haven’t seen my lightbody yet. All these things about Ascension and lightbody are still in the research level — I’ve been studying about them as I work with post Ascension soul shift clients and as I experiment with myself. Honestly, there are so many questions that remain open. I choose to write about Ascension, however, because even the ongoing research level information can be helpful, especially for those who are going through this or who are heading this way soon. Again, there aren’t many other helps available to the best of my knowledge.

Will Ascension complete in year 2012? Will there be a significant change to Earth in 2012? I don’t know. If anything is indeed happening, I think it’s a positive change. So I wrote my Creating the New World series.

What is Enlightenment?

Enlightenment has become such an ambiguous word. You might say my post is “enlightening”, and that would be a nice compliment, but I’m not sure if that enlightenment is the same as the enlightenment some people pursue in their spiritual development.

Here is my definition of Enlightenment. It is to realize the true nature of this thing we call “reality”. In other words, Enlightenment is about knowing we have the power to create. It is the ultimate freedom.

Ascension and Enlightenment are closely related, but I see them as separate. Enlightenment is a spiritual achievement. Ascension is the dynamic change that involves not just our soul but our body and mind. One helps the other to happen.

Action plan for Ascension

What can you do to move forward in your Ascension? Each post in the New World series on Love, Light, Truth, Abundance and Power has action plans at the end, so please check them out. Additionally, I suggest:

• Listen to your inner voice. Develop your intuition — it’s your best guidance.
• Your need to detox and declutter is real — don’t resist it.
• Eat closely to Earth. The Earth grows plants, (typically) small animals eat plants, then bigger animals eat the vegetarian animals. I feel much better since I became vegetarian (pretty much vegan).
• Take plenty of rest. Declutter not only your physical environment but also your life, and rest rather than doing non-critical activities.
• Let go of people who sucks up your energy.

Do you have any questions about Ascension? Please share in the comments. Thank you.

“The day will come when, after harnessing space, the winds, the tides and gravitation, we shall harness for God the energy of love. And on that day, for the second time in the history of the world, we shall have discovered fire.”
– Pierre Teilhard de Chardin

This is the last installment of the Creating The New World series. Ascension presents us the unprecedented opportunity for change, and we’ve been discussing how we can create the New World based on the following five energy flows:

Love
Light
Truth
Abundance
Power

The purpose of life

While each post has some suggestions to help you better align with each of the energy flow, which will improve your personal life, the scope of the series is beyond the conventional personal development. Some of you may have thought, “Well, this all sounds nice, I wish there will be a day when this New World manifests, but I’m just an ordinary person and there is nothing I can do to help this dream come true.”

I respectfully disagree. We are born with the power to create. Creation is the purpose of life: we incarnated in this physical world to have fun creating our lives, to experience our own creation and learn through the experiences, then we create even better things, so we experience the love and abundance in a tangible way. Life is about creation.

Each of us has this power to create, and together we create the world. When you bring a positive change to your life, you are changing the world. The point is to create consciously.

The process of creation

Creation starts in the invisible energy field, the spiritual world, and manifests in the physical world. And in tern, by creating in the physical world, we transcend to the spiritual world. The physical and the spiritual are not opposed to each other. They are the two sides, or levels, of the one Universe.

This is the essence of the Law of Attraction. We create as we think, feel, and believe. The Law of Attraction is there so we can learn from our own creation. (If things happen randomly, we can’t learn, right?) Whether you are aware of your creative power or not, you are creating anyway.

What I’ve strived to achieve in this series is to present the big picture of the New World, the vision of our destination of our current creative journey. I don’t know the exact each step to get to this destination — that probably depends on each of your case, and I also think someone who is more detail-oriented and technical in thinking can do a better job in determining the steps than I can. But what are we to do when we know how to walk but don’t know the direction to our destination? My job is to present this sense of direction.

It’s you, however, who creates your life, and thus contribute to the New World from your end. I hope I have inspired you to the point you embrace your creative power.

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.  Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.

It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?

Actually, who are you not to be?  You are a child of God.  Your playing small does not serve the world.  There is nothing enlightening about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you.

We are all meant to shine, as children do.  We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us.

It’s not just in some of us; it’s in everyone.  And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.

As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”
– Marianne Williamson

The New World in a nutshell

The New World is based on individuals as empowered and awakened free agent. Each of us will live as the person we truly are — in other words, we all “come out” for the authentic and unique person we are. No need to bend our truth to conform to the social norms because there will be no social norms. Our inner sense of honesty and integrity will develop to the point that social rules will be unnecessary.

The New World is filled with love. Again it’s the kind of love that celebrates the unique quality each of us present, not the love based on manipulation.

So the New World celebrates diversity. I don’t just mean the diversity of races, ethnicities, and such. I mean diversity in ways of life and ideas. For instance, all forms of love, whether it is heterosexual or homosexual, monogamy or polyamory, across the races and ethnicities . . . they are all good.

The New World is both simple and abundant. We will live simply because we know we are spiritual beings enjoying the stay in this physical world, so we don’t need to decorate ourselves excessively. It is also abundant in the same way Nature is abundant, because we fully utilize our creative power.

There will be many fundamental changes in the way we live in the New World. Breakthroughs will change the way we sustain our physical bodies, and there will be few, or no, health issues. Some (or many) of us will be living as lightbodies.

The concept of work and money will change, too. Most of us will be working for ourselves, doing what we love and are good at. Work is a way of self-expression, a way of creation. Eventually, work will be purely about self-expression, not a way to earn money, so we will just give and receive the products and services, not trading them for money. The New World will be that abundant, to the point we don’t need to keep track of numbers.

The One Energy

On the deeper level, the five energies are one. Love and Light are the same — Love is Light, and Light is Love. When Eckhart Tolle wrote in the introduction of The Power of Now: A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment that the morning sunlight through the drapery, after his night of revelation, was pure love, he literally means it.

And when there is nothing but loving light, there is nothing that is not Truth. This light of love is also power, and is abundance. It’s all . . . life energy.

But then, on the practical level, it helps us to check our alignment with each energy flow of Love, Light, Truth, Abundance, and Power.

We as God the Creator

As I wrote in the part on Light, we, each one of us, are ultimately God. We have the same creative power God has.

It is only an illusion that we need to compete, control, manipulate, etc to get good things in life. When we use the energy negative like this, we create imbalance, and sooner or later, we will have to pay. Creating with love is a lot easier and fulfilling.

Thank you for reading this post and the Creating The New World series. Now it’s your turn. What do you think about my vision of the New World? Do you want to add or change something? Do you have any questions about the energy flows of Love, Light, Truth, Abundance, and Power?   (Photo by carf) 

“Are you just going to admire the jug
or are you actually going to drink the water?”
– Rumi

This is the fifth part of the Creating The New World series.  In this series, we have been exploring the ways to create the New World based on the five divine energy flows of Love, Light, Truth, Abundance, and Power.  It has grown to a huge writing, so after this post, I will write another one to sum up and to present a big picture of the New World.

Embracing our Divine Power

Divine Power is by far the hardest concept in the five energies to understand accurately and therefore hard to embrace.  We have seen too many authoritative figures who abuse their worldly power for their own greed.  You probably have been disgusted by them and swore not to be like them.  But wait . . . that doesn’t mean you need to relinquish your inner power!

The power I’m talking about is our innate power to create.  It’s the power of our free will.  We are free to make our choices, and as we make choices, we create our lives.  Together we create this world.

We all have this power.  Even if you are penniless, living with abusive family, or in poor health, you do.  The issue is you may not be using this power.

Free will is the best gift from God

One of the frequently asked questions in my Akashic Record Reading is “Why didn’t my spirit guides (or God or Angel) prevent me from getting into this trouble?  Why don’t they just hold my hand and guide me through the best path?  Isn’t it cruel and unkind to leave me where I am?”

The answer is: They don’t leave you.  They are always with you.  But they love you so much that they respect your free will.  You are free to make mistakes and learn from them.  Whatever horrible mistake you make, they don’t abandon you, and if you end up dead, you are still loved and you will get another go.

Spirits do have different mode of operation.  In our human common sense, there are times we might want to intervene.  For example, if your child is getting involved with criminals and playing with drugs.  But spirits respect our free will.  We are even allowed to go against the Light and become darkworkers.  (Obviously, I am not recommending this option.  I’m just saying it’s an option and we are free to choose.)

This Earth is meant to be a creative place where souls incarnate in physical bodies and create in terms of forms.  As I wrote in the second part of this Creating The New World series about Light, we were originally One and Whole, but we wanted to experience love and abundance in a more tangible and experiential way.  So we became individual souls, and incarnated in this physical world.  In order for this Earth experiment to work, free will is absolutely necessary.  Even if that means many failures and heartaches.

You have the free will.  It’s God (or Source or Light) given, and no one can take it away from you, not your parents, not your boss, not your psychic, not even your own spirit guides.  Again, the point is you step up to embrace your power of this free will.

Unfortunately, many of us have forgotten our power and became victims and slaves. . .

Victim mentality

When you are in victim mentality, you see things happen to you, rather than you are creating your life with your own power.  It doesn’t matter if you are in abusive relationship or not.  You may have grown up in a loving family, and you may still feel like a victim of the world or bad luck.

When you live with victim mentality, you are avoiding responsibility that comes with power.  This is only a mental trick, however.  Whether you consciously take the responsibility or not, you get the consequences anyway.  So why not make your own choice and be aware of your responsibility?

Slave mentality

I hate this term as much as I hate the term victim mentality.  Of course I’m not talking about actual slavery.  It’s about becoming an order taker, only going through the motions of life but not fully taking the responsibility of it.  Slaves’ responsibility is about doing the tasks they were told to do, not about making the decisions about the tasks.

Slave mentality is so common it hardly stands out.  Just check the “Ask XXXX” column of any newspaper.  Tons of people asking how they SHOULD live their lives.  As if someone else knows it better.  And the word SHOULD is a telltale sign of slave mentality.  “What should I do?  (I’ll do it if you just give me instructions.)”

Some people bring this slave mentality to their relationship with their spirit guides.  I work with highly spiritually developed people in my Akashic Record Reading practice.  Yet, so many of them ask, “What do my spirit guides want me to do?”

You are the master of your life.  You decide what you want to create, and then you ask advice, say to your spirit guides, in the same way you seek advice from consultants.  They share their ideas, and you decide if you want to take their ideas or not.  You are ultimately responsible.

Curiosity vs fear

Both vicim and slave mentalities are motivated by fear.  Victims are unaware of their true power and are constantly afraid of what may happen to them.  Slaves have (superficially) given away their power and are afraid of going beyond their territory.

(Note: Some people do stupid things to prove they are not afraid.  Whatever the appearance, they are still in the same mode really.  Rioting slaves are still slaves, not truly free.)

One of the sign of these negative mindset is the lack of lively curiosity.  We came to this life to create, and curiosity for new possibilities is a natural part of us.  So ask yourself:  When was the last time you got to know a new person in your life?  The last time you tried out a new hobby?  The last time you read a book or article that was outside of your regular interests?  Are you living with your natural curiosity and exercising the power of your free will?

Misplaced responsibilities

While I’m talking about the issue of responsibility in the context of victim and slave mentality, I want to talk about misplaced responsibility.  This is the flip side of it — you start taking responsibility that is not really yours.

Most common case of misplaced responsibility is when you assume the (negative) emotions of another person and attempt to prevent it from happening.  The truth is each person is responsible for his or her emotions.  Of course, we want to be kind and not say or do harmful things to others.  But there is a line there, and some things need to be said or done even though that may bother someone.  Avoiding these things by taking up someone else’s responsibility for their emotions compromises your own responsibility for yourself.

This is a pretty tough concept to grasp, so let me paraphrase:  It’s good to care for another person but is disempowering for both of you if you take up their responsibility.  Also, we ultimately want to transcend our sense of separated self, but this doesn’t mean we compromise our boundaries and enmesh our sense of self with others.

The New World based on personal power

The New World is based on individuals as empowered free agents.  Not on governments, not on religious organizations, but on individuals.  Each of us will live one’s own Truth rather than blindly following social rules.  Social rules and morals will be unnecessary because our honesty and integrity will develop fully.  We will live in Love and Light, in peace and harmony.

It is a world of diverse ideas, beliefs, and ways of living.  We flourish by celebrating one another’s uniqueness and their power to live their lives.

On the practical level, I think most of us will be working for ourselves.  Entrepreneurship is not a requirement in the New World, but when you start living confidently with the awareness of your own power, you are likely to become an entrepreneur.  I’ve already done it — this blog Yes to Me started to share my learning experiences as a new entrepreneur.  (Whew — some readers may have wondered how entrepreneurship and spirituality are related, but I do have a point here!)  And I know that, if I can, plenty of others can.

How to bring in the New World

How can we better align with Divine Power and create the New World based on it?  Here are some actions plans:

1. Make more mistakes.

You learn how to use your personal power by actually using it, by making decisions by your free will.  When you do this, you will make some mistakes.  It’s part of the learning process, and you can’t make decisions while you are so afraid of potential mistakes.

You can start small at a manageable scale and expand as you gain more confidence.  What kind of mistakes or failures can you swallow today?  How about ordering something different for lunch?  Can you take the disaster of getting something foreign?  How about sharing your thoughts with someone?  Trying a new approach to your existing problem?

2. Own your feelings and responsibilities.

Including the so-called negative feelings like anger and sadness.  A common misunderstanding about lightworkers is that lightworkers don’t have “bad” feelings and if you feel such feelings, there is something wrong about you.  Well, eventually we want to get to the point where we see the deeper meanings of such unsettling feelings, but for now, let me assure you it is natural to feel all kinds of feelings.

What we don’t want to do is avoid the responsibility to feel emotions.  Emotions are . . . just emotions.  No need to hide it, suppress it, push it to another, etc. Take the responsibility to feel it, and it will pass.

By the way, does someone around you say, “You shouldn’t be angry / sad / lonely, etc.”?  Be very careful.  It could be that this person is just insecure with their own feelings, but this is also a common way of manipulation.

3. Be vulnerable.

Embracing power doesn’t mean putting up a strong facade that you are fearless. When you dare to feel all range of emotions and own them, you feel vulnerable.  This is good.  The courage to be vulnerable comes from the trust that you will be taken care of by the Universe.

4. Dream your own dream.

What do you really want to do?  It will take some unlearning time to let go of socio-cultural expectations.  When you put aside all the “I should be doing this . . .”, what do you want for yourself?  Only you can dream your own dream.

Refrain from editing your dreams.  Dare to dream and then think of ways to bring your life to your dream.

5. Know the difference between stepping up to your power and stepping on other people.

Love and power can go hand in hand.  It’s important they go hand in hand.

Divine Power comes with Light, so the action plan for Light, along with spiritual practices such as meditation, also works well for Power.
