"If you're focused on how, you're getting in the way."—Esther Hicks
By Tracy Smith-Hodges
Like most folks in this country, I've been in what you might call a state of shock. I have absolutely no idea what to say, what to do. Some of the things happening right now make NO SENSE to me whatsoever. None.
War? Really? Gun fascination? Why? It just doesn't compute in my way of understanding the world.
So the three words I'm concentrating on right now are "I don't know." All solutions that make sense to me have been discussed before. All "answers" that seem obvious to me have been bandied about for decades.
I do know that most proposals involve "bad guys" and resistance. And that "knowing" what needs to be done never works. It just animates into our world more "bad guys" and more resistance.
"I don't know" doesn't bind time to the past. It doesn't confine imagination and opportunities and solutions that are trying to find us. Peace, kindness, love and abundance for all mankind already exists as one of the possibilities in the quantum field. It's there. But as long as we stick with Newtonian equations (where we anticipate and predict certain outcomes), we're stuck with what we know, with what seemed to make sense in the past. And as long as we cast blame on someone out there, we restrict what is possible.
By admitting "I don't know," I'm leaving room for a miracle. By giving thanks for the existing quantum possibility of peace, kindness, love and abundance for all, I'm drawing it into the world for me and for all with whom I'm holistically entangled (literally everybody and everything).
I heard a story yesterday that really spoke to me. A guy named Dan Stevenson who lives in the Eastlake neighborhood of Oakland was tired of the impromptu dump growing on the median across from his house. People were throwing away old mattresses, trash, junk they no longer needed. Signs warning of consequences for such actions did nothing to alleviate the problem. So Dan, who had no idea what to do, simply superglued a stone Buddha on the median.
Little by little, people started leaving candles instead of trash. A Vietnamese family ended up building an altar. That tiny act (where Dan didn't know what to do) literally changed everything.
So I will repeat "I don't know" and give thanks for the love, peace and light possibility that is every bit as valid of a possibility as the one most others are focused upon.
Have a beautiful day, my incredible friends. #222 Forever
