Are You Part of the Chaos or the Solution in Our World?

Prefer to read? Here’s a transcription of the video:

Tell me, are you part of the chaos and the confusion that’s going on in the world right now? Or do you see yourself as being part of the answer and the solution to what’s possible in our world. We are going through so much turmoil, and so much fear, and so much chaos in all areas of life, financially, socially, health-wise, wars. There’s so much going on in the world and it’s affecting each one of us in different ways. And so I don’t know how it is affecting you, but do you see yourself and the work you do in the world, your attitude, your being, do you see yourself as being sucked into the chaos and the confusion? Or, do you see yourself, or do you want to see yourself, or do you want to be part of the solution, of the answer, of bringing, the new world, the transformed world into being?

Expansive With Anna Gatmonn here, and it’s time to read another of my daily meditation readings from Eileen Caddy from the Findhorn Foundation. Findhorn spiritual community education center and eco-village, in Northern Scotland, where I had my, the beginnings of my spiritual awakenings. And I picked today August 11th. And I got to tell you, it’s hard to choose between all of those, cause they’re all so good, but this is at the top of my list. And it relates to being on the side of the chaos or on the side of the solution, the side of the problem or the side of the answer. And so I’m going to read the reading from August 11th, and then I’m going to give you a tip, an exercise that you can do to practice, to be and become part of the solution and how you can do this in a very simple way.

So the reading first, “Are you in harmony with all life? Do you feel at one with all those souls around you and at peace? Are you part of the chaos and confusion in the world at this time? Or is your life part of the answer to world problems? There can be no sitting on the fence at this time. You are either working for the light or you are not. The choice is in your hands. You’re either with me or against me. Your faith and belief cannot be lukewarm and half-hearted. It must be wholehearted or not at all. I need you aflame, on fire with love for me, completely dedicated to me, dedicated, completely dedicated to me and to my work. Willing to do my will no matter what the cost. I asked for all and only when all is given, will you receive all. Nothing shall be withheld from you. And you will know that all I have is yours.”

So this is taking a stance. The teaching is taking a stance. And so if you don’t know, Eileen Caddy and the Findhorn Foundation community Eileen Caddy was one of the co-founders of the Findhorn community. And she had this small voice that she would actually hear, and She called it the voice of God, and she would connect to it through her own divinity. And as I had my awakenings in Findhorn 14 or 16 years ago, and my teachings come out of that lineage and that way of relating and engaging with the world, with the sacredness of our world. Being a living world, nature, humans, animals, everything is alive, and we can engage with it in an interdependent way. That is a reframe of the teachings from Findhorn. And so that’s why I read this book every day and try to practice the teachings for the day.

And so this one, in particular, Is, okay, this is a time where you need to connect to your highest, most noble self and decide to be part of the transformation and the healing and the response to the chaos in the world. Otherwise, you’re just going to be part of the problem, the confusion and the chaos. And you will live in fear and anxiousness thinking the world is coming to an end with the ecological crisis, but you can become the person who is part of the solution of the transformation and the more of us take that stance, the more power it has, the more it is in numbers. And the more it is a field that we create of what the new world is, is, is like, and can be like.

And so here’s something that you can do. You can ask yourself after you’ve asked yourself, am I part of the chaos or the solution? So if you said I’m part of the chaos, then ask yourself, how can I become part of the solution? And if you answered I’m part of the solution, so whichever it is, ask yourself, what is a principle or a value that you want to live by? Your highest, most noble sacred self, and just pick one value or principle that you want to live by that if the world was as beautiful as you want it to be, and as wonderful, or as wonderful as you see it, what would that be? What would that value or principle be? And you can reflect on it, you can meditate on it, you can write and journal about it. Then maybe it comes to you really quickly and you know what that is. So take your time to choose one thing, one thing at a time.

Now the second step, ask yourself, how can I live this principle or this value that is so dear to me? That is how I want the world to be. And that is how I already maybe see the world to be, but I want more of it. So others can also feel this. What actions can I take to live this value or this principle more fully? And ask yourself what such an action might be. What might it be today, what might it be for this week, or a practice for this month? And it can change, but try just one thing to live by your highest values, your dream of heaven on earth. We live in a garden of Eden and we are destroying it. And everything that’s happening to us now is awakening many of us to what’s going on, and many are really working really hard with passion and dedication to bring about the world that is possible. Whatever we’ve we have destroyed how we can repair it in the human world or in the natural world. And so ask yourself, what is an action you can do today? That is the highest, most noblest part of the essence of who you are, and start living that principle.

You cannot waiver and say, I will do it when the world would change. When the circumstances will change. Then if it only was different outside in the world and your financial situation or in your relationships or your work or your health, when anything of that will change, then I’ll be able to bring my most noble self out and I’ll be able to live the highest values that I hold to be true and sacred. But no, you are here now to live by those values. And so I invite you, you are needed, your specific gifts, and your specific value is needed for the transformation of our planet. Every one of us is needed in small ways, in big ways, transforming your own life, reaching out to a few people, or if you have larger reach, live by your highest values. And it will give you a few things, first of all, you will be connected to the essence of who you are. So you will feel like you’re floating above the chaos. You will be connected to your most noble self, and you will flow it above living the world that you want to see, the world that you want to live in, for yourself, or your loved ones, for others. So you’re creating it and suddenly you’re experiencing it.

So that will allow you to be less in the chaos and the confusion, because you will be living from your most highest noble self. And so you’ll be less feeling down or depressed when you read or watch about the chaos or the heartache of what’s going on in the world right now. And then you’ll be bringing the heavens down to earth through your action. So it both becomes an immunity for you from the harshness that is going on. And you’re also bringing the new world in. So the more of us do it, the sooner it can transform and it can happen because you making it happen right now. And then lastly, go do it, just go do it. If it feels like a big step courageous, it’s okay to be afraid. It’s okay to feel like it’s not gonna matter. It’s just me. But if everybody felt that way, then we’re just going to succumb to the chaos and the confusion and the cruelty that is going on and the senseless suffering that is going on.

So be part of the solution and the answer, part of the transformation. I send You off with blessings of transformation, of courage, and of choosing how you can become a part of the solution in the answer to what’s going on in the world.
