Cultivating Hope In Times of Uncertainty

I have no scientific evidence of the evolutionary and revolutionary shift happening on our planet. However, as a visionary intuitive I feel in my bones we are being catapulted into a new dimension . Each of us are experiencing deep emotions that seemingly jump out and grab us …emotions we cannot put our finger on; yet , we know something feels amiss even when we have spiritual practices in place. Out of the blue the masses (or the collective as I like to call it ) feel confused, uncertain, emotional, apprehensive, and out of sync with what we believe is reality. I awakened to the truth long ago that everything is energy. When we fall into the dark crevices fueled by ongoing wars, political and civil unrest, surging and soaring financial stress, misinformation and distrust of information received, and rising fears of the unknown future the resulting depression, despair, sadness, uncontrollable tears, and anxiety create an atmosphere of losing hope. Even as I spend much of my time and intentions of radiating light to all living beings, there are moments I, too, forget that we are all Spiritual Beings having a Human Experience. My remembering and taking action to get grounded in Nature with a willingness to co-create with the Sacred and Divine always opens the door I have closed to reveal that flicker of hope that shines light onto the dark unknowing of what will happen to our world!

I am reminded of Brenè Brown’s words: “We need hope like we need air. Hope is a function of struggle—we develop hope not during the easy or uncomfortable times, but through adversity and discomfort.”

Knowing in my heart that we are really all connected helps my illusionary story remember I and we are never alone! This amazing time in the history of humanity , I believe, is not about the end of the world but is about each of us remembering what we have forgotten: Together we can do what we could never do alone in the journey of this thing called life! We COULD call it the end..the end of the old way of living our lives as we always have lived them and choosing to walk together into our collective vision of a world filled with hope. There is no question a major shift is happening. The evolution and radical transition of humanity is really occurring. This cannot be denied. Such a massive shift cannot go down being simple or easy.

I live in a residential community just a few minutes from downtown. Because I asked many moons ago to receive guidance and signs when I got entangled with confusion that blocked me from being comfortable in my own skin as long as I can remember deer have shown up in my environment everywhere I have lived and traveled. My backyard backs up to a vacant wooded lot , and deer not only show up in the woods, but often are standing in my side yard! I am not feeding them to lure them to me. They present themselves to me. Throughout the world and within ancient and present cultures deer have been cherished as a powerfully strong , graceful animal with a sensitive heart of compassion. Deer embodies gentleness, strength, and regeneration.

In this time of uncertainty perhaps we can each choose to be deer-like, and gather within gentle kindness and compassion not only to others, but especially to ourselves. Cultivating compassion for our human experience, even when we feel overwhelmed with not knowing how it is all going to be okay, can be a portal of hope. When we peer into the keyhole of that door confusion and fear has slammed shut and see that little glimmer of light on the other side we just might together turn the doorknob of change , cracking open the possibilities that humanity has been waiting for since time began for us to join in unified faith as a new species, a new breed of human beings as we co-create love itself! I am choosing to walk off that proverbial cliff of revolutionary consciousness with the risk to find out if I really had wings after all that will enable me and provide evidence I can soar above the confusing chaos. I hope you will join me!

“Hope is being able to see that there is light despite all of the darkness. We must accept finite disappointment, but never lose finite hope. Let your hopes, not your hurts, shape your future.”- Martin Luther King, Jr.
