How Comfortable is That Fence?
Many of the channellings I’ve done over the last few months have
talked about the fact that, globally, lightworkers are having a tough
time of it. Relationships are challenging or personal motivation is low
or health issues are surfacing or work is super-demanding / non-existent
/ boring or family dynamics are increasingly uncomfortable.
Not that I needed a channelling to show me this! My own life is pushing
me to the edge in regard to my relationship with money. I don’t ever
remember being as unsure, pissed off, stretched and scared as this. What
gets me even more is that I can’t believe, after all I’ve learnt and
been exposed to, that this can still be an issue. How come I haven’t
overcome this challenge yet, why haven’t I learnt to manifest properly,
where is the physical evidence off all the awareness I’ve gained? These
kinds of uncomfortable questions are regularly dancing in my mind at the
moment.
And that is exactly the point, I’m told. Humanity is in the midst of
what’s been called a ‘focused wave of choice’ where we are being
strongly encouraged (well, no, let’s not use a euphemism – pushed bloody
hard) to make very clear choices in line with our true desires. In other
words, if you are sitting on the fence in regard to anything (health,
relationships, work, money, self worth etc), the fence is growing barbs
right under your bum at the moment.
Resisting this and trying to stay on the fence will cause more struggle
and suffering. In other words keeping old, unserving habits, beliefs or
relationships alive is going to manifest - more powerfully than ever -
circumstances that we don’t like. But we’re welcome to carry on doing
it! As always, spirit will never make choices on our behalf or tell us
what to do. The other option is to take the scary step of getting off
the fence and finally commit to all that we believe in and desire. This
can mean completely different actions for different people. For some it
means finally standing up for themselves in a relationship, or letting
go of an addiction or adjusting their lifestyle to match their
environmental concerns or moving into more meaningful work or
prioritising family. For others it means extending self-trust to the
area of money or finally acknowledging a buried dream. You’ll know where
you need to take action because that will be the area pinching you at
the moment!
I know that life is exceptionally challenging for most of us right now,
even to the extent that some are making life and death decisions as you
read this. Without undermining the grief and pressure we are feeling,
may I suggest that we look at these challenges somewhat differently. If
the fence never started to pinch and prick us, we’d have no reason to
jump off it and would probably spend a lot more time with one foot (or
one area of ourselves) in an enlightened space and the other foot (or
areas of ourselves) in an old-energy space of fear, withdrawal,
self-righteousness, for example. The stretch we are experiencing at the
moment allows us to get off the fence and to choose nothing less than an
integrated, authentic and exhilarating way forward, which is after all
what we deserve and who we are.
