Then

The featured photo was taken by me in Chichen Itza some years ago and it’s hangs on my bedroom wall. I’d wanted to go there ever since I saw it for the first time when Days of Our Lives went on location there in the 80’s!

I was on a cruise that offered an excursion and I intended to go. I couldn’t get any of my friends to sign on. I don’t remember why but the 10-seat puddle jumper may have been a drawback. So, I stepped out of my comfort zone and went “alone.”

It was totally worth it! I could feel the energy in this place.

Unfortunately, I was not in the ‘space’ I am now and couldn’t process or receive it fully.

This Past Week  –The Unfolding

I usually go to my mom’s for dinner every other Friday. When I spoke to her on Sunday, it dawned on me that this coming Friday was 12-21-12. What was I going to do?

I have been curious about what may happen when the Mayan Calendar ends since I first heard about it.

A few months ago, I was guided to an article by Evelyn Lim, on her site Abundance Tapestry, describing what many are calling The Ascension. Since reading it, I have known that I wanted to be present and connected on that day; I don’t want to miss anything!

Anyway, I told my mom that I would come for dinner on Sunday instead. I tried to explain why to someone who doesn’t really understand me and doesn’t believe any of what I believe. Plus, I couldn’t tell her what I was going to do with the day.

On Monday, I got an email from a local metaphysical shop that I had recently subscribed to. The email announced a Winter Solstice Ceremony on 12-21, which I recognized as possibly a Wiccan ritual. But they spoke about more than the winter solstice. This is what the ‘invitation’ said:

“Whatever your perception, we invite you to join us in deep ceremony on the longest night of the year, as we turn inward, release all that no longer serves us, open to the incoming Guidance and Divine Frequencies that will be pouring forth, and anchor our Divine Mission on Earth.

We have a chance and a choice to further expand our hearts and move into a place of love, trust, compassion, cooperation, inner peace and ONEness.”

I was in!!!!

Preferring not to go alone, I forwarded the invitation for the ceremony to my mother (with hope), and to our friend Beth who also comes to dinner, knowing she was a more likely candidate.

On Tuesday evening, I got an email update from Evelyn with her new article Ascension: Dawn of a Golden Age, which begins with:

“The energy signature of planet Earth will shift from one of anger and fear to one of love and acceptance. The old matrix is falling away. The rise of the Golden Age, with a brilliance that illuminates the entire galaxy, dawns. It has been planned for eons. Everything is in perfect timing. The countdown is almost complete.”

I forwarded this to Beth. (My mother refuses to get a computer, so she can only check her email on Tuesdays when she goes to the library.)

She called me on Wednesday and said “after reading that article, how could I not go?” She had even discussed it with my mom who was on the brink of agreeing but didn’t have enough information about what to expect.  So I left a comment on the website asking for more information.

While speaking with Beth, my mom tried to called her twice, so after we confirmed our plans she called my mom, who called me soon after with an agreement to go! Wow, was I surprised! And pleased that she would be willing to step out of her comfort zone and listen an alternative belief system.

Now

I got up today thinking about tomorrow and wanting to get excited about it. But I have worked a long time to adopt a “No Expectations, No Disappointment” policy.

I learned a long time ago that expectations are attachments to outcomes and that attachments are what causes suffering. And the main goal is to eliminate suffering through evolving ones perception of reality. Isn’t it?

The thought came to me: By eliminating expectations and the subsequent excitement (and not producing that high, vibrational frequency), did I affect my ability to manifest through attraction? Have I missed out by avoiding disappointment? Should I allow myself to have expectations?

I don’t know what to expect from the day or the ceremony, but I am ready for something to shift in the world.

For now I will just remain open and ready to receive.

May you all be willing and open to receive.

 

May you perceive and receive all your blessings.

With Much Love,

Rev. Michele
