Awaken and Stretch Your Imagination
A giant is awakening in the world. A giant of awareness. We are awakening from compulsions, addictions and phobias. We are being called to awaken from our ego story and from various forms of archetypal Eros that have taken over our life? We are awakening from boredom, normality, neurosis, psychosis and anxiety. It is time that we awaken from the collective mind.
Who or what is awakening? Is something awakening in you? Is a new sense of self beginning to emerge in you? Is a mysterious desire or power awakening in you? Are you becoming aware of a greater reality you cannot yet name?
There are estimates that about 30% of the planet is awakening to a new sense of self and spirituality. A rising tide of consciousness that cannot yet be clearly put into words. A stirring sense of expansion, discovery, adventure and mystery. Strange dreams, notions of change, new ideas, expanded possibilities, creative choices. A yearning to be made over, transformed, re-invented, re-born, expanded. Music, art, science, philosophy and spirituality are beginning to merge.
One day a few lily pads appear on a pond, a month later, they double in number, a few days later they double again. The pond is half covered. The next day it is fully covered.
