I Am Here To Be An Authentic World Server

How freeing it is to OWN our reason for being here at this deep level!

I love a good paradox and Life offers them all of the time. Here’s one I tend to live by: We are as insignificant as a single grain of sand on a vast beach AND we are the key to everything.

But maybe that’s just me living in duality?

Pondering this focus, “I am a World Server”, made me want to float this idea:

If I am here to serve the world, then it all matters: The frequency that I emanate, the little acts of kindness that I do, the thoughts I entertain, the good intentions that I have and then follow-through on, the love I am willing to receive, the joy I am able to feel by something as constant as the light of the sunset in my own backyard.

If I am here to serve the world, then it all matters: The frequency that I emanate, the thoughts I entertain, the good intentions that I have and then follow-through on…

Conversely it matters when I do the opposite of these; using sarcasm rather than own that I am irritated and then attending to my boundaries maturely, allowing myself to nurse old grievances, failing to act when I can clearly DO something to help, letting myself be distracted so that I overlook the beauty all around me, missing an opportunity to offer my thanks.

So, here is my practice as I integrate this focus: I am a World Server…I intend to up-level my attention to the small details of my life and act as if it all matters. I’m certain I will fall down on this job. But I am committing to getting back up and carrying on. And…I appreciate you very much for being on the journey with me.

What Makes Your Heart Happy?

It’s time to THRIVE!

Doesn’t the word thrive seem to have “happy” embedded in it? As we ponder this week’s focus, we can begin to develop our own list of ways to up-grade our lives from where they are to a higher, richer and deeper expression of flourishing and prospering.

…Wherever we are on the spectrum of Life’s circumstances, our inner world can always be enhanced.

Some of us have life circumstances that will seem to make this assignment more difficult than others. But wherever we are on the spectrum of Life’s circumstances, our inner world can always be enhanced. What makes your heart happy? What enriches your ability to savor your unique and beautiful existence? Let’s go there. It’s time.

Want to Make a Positive Difference? Commit to Enlightenment!

We ask ourselves, “How can I help? How can I make a difference in this very troubled world?” And here is our answer, in distilled form: invoke enlightenment.

At the heart of our suffering (pain, upsets, dissatisfactions and conflicts) is an invitation to mature spiritually.

At the heart of our suffering (pain, upsets, dissatisfactions and conflicts) is an invitation to mature spiritually. In the context of our spiritual nature, all suffering is held in an enormous field of Divine Love and thus not only endured, but dissipated and dissolved. But it takes maturity to pull this off; a willingness to outgrow the fixated ideas we learned in childhood and develop new understanding of ourselves and each other. That understanding leads to compassion, a doorway to enlightenment.

An enlightened being knows, with certainty, that we are One. From there all things are possible…even Peace on Earth.

I hold peace quietly in my center.

The complexity of being human requires us to build resilience…

We can use this phrase like a healing balm. The complexity of being human requires us to build resilience as we encounter inflammatory situations, challenging personalities and disturbing world events.

As we grow in consciousness, we can, more and and more quickly, quietly ask our heart to open, our minds to settle, and our Whole Being to return to its peaceful center.

Just as babies learn to comfort themselves as they mature, we can assuage our own personality’s insults and wounds. Then, note that we spontaneously delve more deeply into our spiritual adulthood.

To promote World Peace, I direct healing energy to…

We have no control over many things that tend to be dismaying. But we DO have reign over how we respond…

Here we have an action plan; an antidote for worry, discouragement, or feelings of despair. Concerned about the many hot spots of war in the world? Direct healing energy there. Troubled by divisive maneuvering in leadership? Direct healing energy to our world leaders. Stressed about the health of a loved one? Send healing their way. All of these actions are sooooo much better than harboring anxious thoughts and disturbing emotions.

We have no control over many things that tend to be dismaying. But we DO have reign over how we respond to those issues. Directing healing energy there and there and there gives us a powerful way to be a positive influence in the world. Ultimately it acts to heal our own troubled minds and lets flourish the SACRED in our hearts.

“Increase merit and devotion of World Servers.”

Like a farmer in their field, we Lightworkers tend to our vocation as World Servers with faithfulness…

Like a farmer in their field, we Lightworkers tend to our vocation as World Service with faithfulness and constancy. Sometimes our “yield” can be disappointing, but we persevere because…well…it’s our work and we love it!

We can be assure that our efforts are not in vain; our dedication is noted.

Merit is defined as: a claim to respect and praise; excellence; worth.

Yes. Let’s allow what we cultivate: (peace, truth, harmony, respect)…LOVE, to be honored and fully valued. As we experience the worth of our unique contribution, we will benefit from a deepening, a heightening and an expansion of our devotion. This feeds our “job satisfaction”, our enthusiasm, and helps us to move back into the “field” for another season of good work.

Peace is paramount to Thriving.

…we recognize the wisdom, self-discipline, courage and intelligence it takes to remain peaceful in the face of hostility.

Peace: The absence of war or other hostilities. Freedom from quarrels and disagreement; harmonious relations.

A conundrum we live with is that the quiet, calm voice can be drowned out by the hostile, angry one. Yet we recognize the wisdom, self-discipline, courage and intelligence it takes to remain peaceful in the face of hostility.

Our mission is to carry on, digging deeper to reach the wellspring of our spiritual nature. There we find the infinite peace that, yes, surpasses all understanding. We continue to bring ourselves back home to that place of freedom: refusing to harbor bitterness, refusing to engage in quarrels. This practice of restraint leads to a higher and finer frequency in all our bodies (mental, emotional, physical, etheric and spiritual). We emanate that frequency…peace. And that is our work as World Servers in a nutshell.

Let peace begin with me; let this be the moment, now.

I magnetize to myself, my kindred spirits.

When the student is ready, the teacher appears.

Yogi Ramacharaka
We have lived the truth of this: When the student is ready, the teacher appears.
It brought us to the place where we would confidently know our self to be a Lightworker; one who is in service to the World, devoted to the process of enlightenment, actively working on our human nature to live, more fully, our spiritual nature.
As we do the work we are called to do in this capacity, it can be a joyful experience to meet, along the way, a kindred spirit. Hello, friend! As we recognize in each other our mutual commitment to be in service, we can celebrate the feeling of being “at home” in their presence. It is a lovely respite and one to savor. Thank you for being a kindred spirit, a member of my spiritual family!
 

The Universe Works in Mysterious Ways.

Uncertainty, mystery, can be scary…it can also be entertaining, fun and hold happy surprises.

Certainty makes us feel safe. Uncertainty, mystery, can be scary. Of course it can also be entertaining, fun, and hold happy surprises. Let’s embrace the conundrum and celebrate the mysterious manner in which the Universe works. Nobody really knows how this is all going to play out. But we can do our part to bring as much love and consciousness to the outcome as possible.

We may practice feeling safe by going to that place of deep calm, and from there imagining, with all our senses, the feel and look (smell, taste, sound) of the world at peace, Humanity cheerfully exercising the Will to do good, Love prevailing.

…if we are the conduits through which consciousness flows, finding the best use of consciousness…must be the way out of our many challenges. All we have to do is to start seeing existence from the inside instead of the outside. That’s the shift that will bring about a new world, none other.

~Depak Chopra

I Claim Freedom as a Divine Right.

“Nothing you believe is true. To know this is freedom.”

byron katie

If our primary gauge of “reality” is what we see and hear in the media, we will surely feel despair. True freedom, our Divine Right, is contingent only upon a steadfast claim on LOVE. If we let it, Love will direct us to the thoughts that are causing us to suffer and then support us in bringing awareness to, and the release of, that mistaken belief. It is the best healing we can offer to ourselves and, ultimately, to our world: let’s let Love guide us away from our suffering into the healing balm of true freedom.

It’s a beautiful world. We are we are all in this Together.

We can address the lower vibrational, divisive energies…without allowing them to have sway.

Yes. We start with this Truth: “We are all in this together,” and work from there. Harnessing resources like creativity, intelligence, wisdom, compassion and perspective, we can address the lower vibrational, divisive energies (greed, the need for revenge, the lust for power) without allowing them to have sway.

The common challenge we are addressing is compelling us, as One, to resolve our differences peacefully, to learn to respect what we can’t understand, find ways to mend what’s broken, and to rein-in our more base and destructive compulsions. It IS a small, beautiful world, after all…together, we can flourish.

My Energy Knows No Bounds

Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?

Mary Oliver

Infinite possibility, boundless energy…that’s what we have, what we are…what is available to us. Rather than an invitation to over-extend ourselves and become workaholics, we can use this knowledge as an appeal to re-invent our lives at each new juncture. If my energy is infinite, then my one wild and precious life can continue to evolve WAY beyond the bounds of my mind’s limited understanding. I can ask the Master teachers to inspire me to new and broader expressions. I can find fresh and creative avenues to contribute to Humanity. And I can overcome the obstacles that Life offers as the teaching moments they are meant to be. Let’s play on…

I Create Peace.

By now, we Lightworkers have learned to do this: be at peace. And we have learned to live in the knowledge that peace, like happiness is an “inside job”. The refinement or maybe we could call it the “work assignment” of this focus is in the word “create”.

The creative process is said to have four stages:

1) Preparation, we study our subject in depth

2) Incubation, we meditate on our subject, step away and allow for what we’ve learned to gestate

3) Illumination, an insight reveals itself, the ah-ha! moment arrives and we are free to bring into the world our unique expression of said subject

4) Verification, the new insight is tested in the “real world” for its validity and practical applications.

It’s easy to see that going through this process again and again is what makes a Master. And isn’t creating peace a most noble project?!
