EMERGING INTO A NEW WORLD

When we get our first taste of the New World, it is gentle and welcoming. This happened to those of us at October's Ninth Gate Activation in Bali when we opened the door to the New World. Then when we step deeper into the New World, we experience a massive stripping away of the old which is similar to traveling through a Black Hole. This immersion into the New World is not gentle. It's more like being propelled through a time / space barrier. We are thrown off the Map of the Known.Once we arrive on the shores of the New World, we are in a state of shock. It isn't because the New World is not a nice place or a place where we don't want to be. It's the shock of being in such a totally different environment and the shock of no longer being on the familiar old map where we knew how to apply our well developed skills and knowledge and where we knew where everything was located.At first, there are not very many anchoring points in our New World. Sometimes it helps to create tiny islands of the familiar, especially when in vastly unfamiliar territory. We can find comfort in the small tasks of daily life such as making breakfast or washing clothes. We can create a tiny space with items that are personally sacred to us. Then as our New Life evolves, we will start making new friends, find a favorite restaurant and align ourselves with the nourishing nature of our new environment.In the New World, our behaviors change and we start doing things that we never did before. As a personal example: I have never worn a watch regularly for my entire life. I only wore one when I was traveling by airplane. Now, I am living in Peru, where one would think that a watch isn't necessary, yet I am suddenly wearing one all the time! And finding it quite helpful....As soon as we arrive in our New World, we need to be extremely vigilant that we don't fall into our old, automatic reactions and responses. For if we do, it will keep us from fully inhabiting the New World. We have to stop looking at things with the old assumptions and judgments because they simply aren't true anymore.Some of us are moving to totally new physical environments in which nothing is the same as before. Don't be surprised if things don't immediately click into position when you get there. It may be uncomfortable and awkward at first, because our New Worlds require a whole new level of adjustments and skills. It's a very steep learning curve that we are thrust into. But it is also extremely helpful when our New World is so different that are unable to do almost anything in the same ways as before. Our New World may require that we speak a different language, that we interact with a very different culture, that we are unable to find the foods we are used to eating. This makes it much easier to step out of our old patterns, since our old patterns are impossible to maintain in such a different environment.Others will change environments not by moving to a new location, but by changing the way they live in their present location. We will all be given opportunities to change our way of living. Some of these may come about by what we have previously judged as unfortunate circumstances, such as a loss of a job, a natural disaster, or a relationship ending. All of these events simply close a door on the old and give us the chance to open a brand new door to a more fulfilling life.At times, this may bring up some fears that we will lose our old mastery -- and it's true that we will. Yet, we also have the opportunity to develop mastery in totally new areas. It feels like a continual treasure hunt, as we traverse the labyrinth we pick up necessary information, make helpful contacts and learn what we need in that moment. If we traveled in a direct, linear manner, we would miss these needed experiences.We know that we need to keep wide open, but sometimes this just becomes a hollow concept and we don't put it into practice. My openness to the new and unexpected, to the things that stretch me far beyond my comfort zone, is being put to the test daily. I consider myself to be quite open, yet I'm continually finding ways in which I am not. This is a really good lesson. For example, I have been looking for the right house to live in since I moved to Peru in early November. I spent my first few weeks in a hotel, then found a temporary house rental. The owner of this house is returning in one week so I will need to find a new place to live very soon.It's easy for me to see this labyrinthine journey to my new home as a hardship or to be confused as to why I wasn't led directly to it. At times, I have judged myself as doing something wrong. Yet, I now realize that every step of my journey has been extremely valuable. I've had to talk with so many new people in my search for a home. Along the way, I've made some dear friends and learned much from my experiences with them. If I had moved directly into my right home when I first arrived in Peru, I would have spent most of my time there and missed these valuable experiences, needed information and new connections.This is why we have to remain wide open at all times and why we need to remember that as True Ones, we really are in the Centerpoint of RIGHT TIME - RIGHT PLACE at all times, even when it doesn't feel that we are.www.nvisible.comSolaraIn ONENESSsunspiritsmiles

"I chased my first UFO when I was 16-with another guy, across a corn field when New Jersey had more garden farms. The other guy, who wasn't really a friend, started yelling to it 'take me with you'."
