This shift is occurring across the world, in every townand village, in the Hearts of each child, woman and man.Whether the issue is feeding the poor, healing the sick,building community or nurturing the earth, there is agrowing awareness. There is an awakening, a shift inconsciousness. A connection is being made, one heart toanother. In this connection of caring, sharing, giving andreceiving a spark within the Heart ignites and grows.This awakening consciousness has no limits. It is a shiftthat is taking us all into a higher dimensional awareness,a higher, more aligned way of life. We are becomingaware of becoming aware.From One Way of Life Toward Another‘This shift is not only altering our consciousness, it ischanging the world around us. A shift, by definition, isthe movement away from one point toward another. The3rd dimensional world as we have known it, is crumbingaround us. The old ways were designed by governmentsand corporations to support and provide well being to itscitizens. These ways no longer work. All of these systemsare deteriorating; governmental, legal, health,social services, education, food quality, political, monetary,protection of the environment, etc. All are broken.Next pick four or five of those words that make you feelespecially good as you experience them. Take one wordeach day for a week and BE that word. Demonstrate thisword in every situation you experience. Notice how itmakes you feel. Notice that when you become intentionalabout being the word, you feel more alert, aware andin the present “Now” moment of time. In other words,you are in charge of yourself on your terms. And yes,you will forget at first. No problem, simply smile andbecome the word once again. One word of caution, however:This path generally leads to feelings of certainty,well being, command and Happy.There is a shift… and the shift is within you.When we look a little deeper, however, there exists a newpassion. Individuals, groups, and companies offer newideas which clean the earth, recycle waste and createnew power sources. More companies offer employeeownership, day care, equal pay and much more. The creationof Heaven on Earth is unfolding.We are at the beginning of this new way of life, not theend. Each one of us has to awaken. We each have tomake the shift within. Many have awoken, more areawakening and many still are asleep. But not for long.We will each experience becoming aware in uniqueways. For some it will be powerful and alive. For othersit will be slower and more cautious. But we will all walka common path.Allow me to offer you an exercise that will rapidly takeyou down this path, interrupting your 3rd dimensionalhabits and assisting you to remember who you are.Create a list of words, words that make you feel good.Words that you would like to be known by in your world.For example: insightful, kind, respectful, purposeful,gracious, gratitude, integrity, dignified, caring or helpful.Make it a long list, choosing words that will help youremember yourself. It is within the words that you willawaken.Jim Self is a gifted speaker and teacher, founder ofNorthern California’s Avalon Institute and director ofthe Mastering Alchemy Program.
