Pop your bubble
We live comfortably in our own bubbles with thin barriers enclosed around us.
We rarely make eye contact with those we pass on the street.
We rarely comment or acknowledge that out there others exist apart from us.
We often go through phases of our lives when we really live in our own bubble; maintain this strict, rigid detachment until we encounter ever so fleetingly a moment where our bubbles burst, one enters inside of our barriers, touches us — perhaps accidentally, perhaps intentionally — & reminds us that there are others outside of ourselves, that we are surrounded by sentient & spiritual beings.
Often, on the bus, or the train, I look up & scan the faces that stand in front of me. Most of them with headphones, listening to music, staring listlessly in front of them, focusing their eyes on nothing. Others finger their smart phones, texting, reading, looking at their messages. No one speaks to each other, no one glances in the other’s direction.
I am astounded at this indifference, how no one seems to notice this interconnected moment, where we are being inundated with sights & smells & sounds that are stimulating our bodies — or at least mine, anyway. I seem to be the only one with this awareness. Everyone else is in their own little world.
I popped my bubble, a while ago...I am safe; I know that if I wanted it , I can go back inside it at any moment, but I chose not to.
Step outside your bubble: connect, smile, interact, talk, communicate, (not on facebook or twitter) be brave!
Since then, I have been feeling like a human!
Truly human with the divine inside me.
I opened up and I let love flow. I am still learning...always open and creating...
As human beings, our bodies have evolved from the very fibres of Mother Earth - we are her 'children’ and as such we are too demanding of Mother Earth, whilst simultaneously giving too much of our own time to the minutiae of our lifestyles and the demands of schedules and individuals who do not necessarily appreciate it. As such, just like Mother Earth, we too demonstrate a seismic response to stress
As we similarly fight for self-preservation in response to stress, reverting to the animal rather than higher, spiritual instincts, we increase our plundering litter-effect on the harmonious existence of Mother Earth … and she too can only make us aware that we demand too much through her own animalistic response of shaking off the litter, through the stressed shifting of her plates.
When I consider the esoteric teaching of “As Above, So Below” I find it easier to understand that what is happening to Mother Earth is more natural than “unnatural” in terms of earth-bound and sky-ward elements, such as environmental disasters and "unnatural" elemental conditions. Earthquakes often occur in and directly affect the very centres of highly populated areas, the very points on the planet where Mother Earth is carrying the negative energy of those living there, that demanding and all consuming litter. This disturbance of Mother Earth’s balance and sapping of her sources, results in these calamitous shifts in energy as she is forced to shake herself, a natural response in warning of her own depletion.
I, for one, feel bound to Mother Earth and have heard her warning, felt her pain. For myself I feel that now is the time for a collective consciousness: a time of healing and community with Mother Earth and I consider it to be my privilege to help prevent harm and to use my music to help heal our spiritual stresses and commune with Mother Earth as she struggles to be heard above the storms of our own creation.
Now I popped my bubble, this is the new -old me...I am me, my own self, renewed, recharged, re-invented. I stepped out of my comfort zone and receive the vibrational energies of the pure light divine and the cosmic is flowing through me...
And it feels fresh and new; it feels like wearing a new skin, a new scent.
Entering a new phase of my life, with an open mind, a positive attitude.
I am creating new habits, breaking the old ones, making space, allowing change, going through the change and with the change, like riding on a wave, into the vast ocean.
I am feeling excited, but very safe, guided by this strong spiritual connection I feel, like a new person.
This is freedom in it's pure form; of course, I am still bound to the practical side of this life, the usual commitments.
I feel held and guided, with a sense of clarity; it is a confidence that I haven't known before, my attitude is now only positive and open.
