Am I expecting too much?

Hi there, and welcome to the forum!

A brief input from myself (if it may be useful... but I don't really want to rain on your parade!):

Nothing extraordinary will happen overnight ... that's like waiting for an external, magical rescue event. All hoping, or waiting, for that will ever do... is disempower us.

Thank you one and all for the replies. I REALLY appreciate the input. To clarify a bit about where I am coming from, I have been awake and aware for over a decade and I am continually peeling back the layers of the self and discovering more of who and what I am. I am also a war veteran. So, I have seen the worst of this world and how it looks up close and personal.

All that said, I know in my most inner being that there is a better way and that I can help make this way more known.

There is so much good information on this thread already, I would be here all day quoting. But suffice it to say that I fully understand what Bill Ryan is saying in his post and I appreciate he took the time out to reply to my thread. I also understand and can relate to the "chop wood carry water" comment. Especially so as I resonate a lot with the Taoist/Buddhist philosophies.

The bottom line for me is that I am beyond ready to see this new earth, as I said already, but, I'm not 100% sure how to take my "next right step" to start my co creation of it. I have amazing and awesome ideas and I think outside of the box EVERY DAY if not every hour of the day. Maybe, it's possible, that I just need to start the journey and follow the energy as I move forward slowly.

Bill, and everyone else, I really appreciate being here on this forum and I look forward to becoming a seasoned veteran in time as well as growing and learning along the way.

You say you are "not quite sure how to take my next right step" ... check out this short video: https://projectavalon.net/forum4/show...l=1#post991332

It shows that any idea that occurs to you that produces positive effects will be a sufficient "next best step".

This is slowly coming together. Thanks for the input.

Now Bill has given some sage advice as well as others in this thread. I am going to give my 2 cents also, in anwswer to your question with jocularity

YES.

Now you can laugh because that is the best medicine of all. You have stated that you are a war veteran, This in itself is quite a telling statement so you absolutely know that to expect anything in this illusion can be so disappointing. Everything we do is by our own volition. You have so much to give of yourself to all others and you have begun that brother so keep moving forward. That question will totally be understood and seen as you move forward. Just a 2 cent observation here. By the way I am also a war veteran and that happened in the 60's and early 70's. Peace be with you brother, One more thing Welcome aboard here.

I hope for the best, prepare for the worst, and usually get a mix of the two. I often remind myself that progress is sometimes measured in millimeters and seconds. I keep going, because I have faith in myself and others.

I think you are not expecting too much, but maybe the wrong thing. I agree with some of the others on this thread, that the teachings about ascension may be illusory and giving us a false hope. I think you are not expecting too much in the sense that humanity can do so much better than this! We can evolve spiritually, but probably not ascending to anywhere other than here! Humanity needs to take responsibility for the changes that we all know are needed and responsibility for changing them.

For myself I try to do it in small ways, like not bossing around my husband and learning to be respectful in all relationships, living in service to others. Also by self acceptance, self care working hard at staying healthy mentally, spiritually, physically and working in the field of trauma, supporting others in their healing path. I guess humanity in general needs healing and if we work smarter and in a taking responsibility kind of way we can effect amazing changes and their is an amazing future world that we can build together, collectively.

Zen Gardner wrote a great letter that touches on this topic.
"by Zen Gardner

This is not a time to be tuning into the overall state of humanity without great care and awareness. We’re in a vortex of change such as humanity has never been exposed to. And it will hurt your heart. This confluence we’re in the midst of is very serious business.

We’re all being taken on a wild ride that can lead nowhere, or somewhere. It all depends on our original orientation. The unaware will be taken down paths of deceitful manipulation while the aware will find a ride to empowerment and even further confirmations regarding what’s truly transpiring.

What path we choose is paramount.

The best analogy is a stream or river of water, or even a turbulent sea. When in one, when and where you direct your vessel is what it’s all about. Especially when the stream or ocean is moving rapidly and with seeming reckless abandon. There’s nowhere to hide from these “current” influences. Our options appear to be somewhat limited, but only without conscious awareness and the ability to rise above the turmoil and so not be driven or steered by what is coming at us.

Operating from an intelligently detached perspective, like a wise, informed ship captain in a turbulent sea, must be our conscious point of reference."

and "
Mind your tuning and reception device. There’s a time to turn it up, and a time to turn it down. Know the difference and act judiciously.

I know many wonderful people in various states of upheaval over these latest turns in the world situation and what appears to lie ahead of us. It’s taking a toll on people’s health, energy, minds and hearts. It’s no small thing we’re going through, nor is it some kind of situation we’re going to escape by flipping into 4 or 5D or have a galactic intervention or some such to save us from it all.

My advice is to beware of all of that, but entertain what you want. The only “escapism” we can enjoy is true conscious awareness based in compassion and determination. And it’s nothing to snicker at. Those who know this perspective at whatever level understand what I am saying.

It is sober, it is responsible, it is caring to the utmost degree. It’s just important to be intensely aware of the external and internal environment and not get duped into foolish mind flips and fanciful escape hatches or side tracks, all of which seem to be popping up faster by the day.

I have a tremendous love for humanity and strong conviction concerning its potential, as do so many of you. Let’s all keep awakening those around us, but guard your energy in times like these. Not to be selfish, but wise.

Stay strong. We’re at our battle stations. Be vigilant."

HEllo Aspen, it is great to see you around. I love your posts. I want to ask when did Zen Gardner write this letter? i mean the date. Becouse everything is moving so fast. I agree with most of it, but i think we can be more calm now becouse we made it; things have to take shape, we have gone a long way in a short period of time and have lots to do from here. Very interesting times indeed. Stay strong and be vigilant but i don´t think we are battleling or need battleling anymore. At least is the way i feel now... oh, now i see... perhaps there´s still people in their battle stations.
I really think we are in a positive timeline, we already took the intersection and now we are driving in the highway.
Much Love Aspen and thanks.
Love...Evol

"Raising our vibration" or "ascension" is done by releasing what stops us from living a joyful, loving, vibrant life. It means becoming happier. As you become happier, you resonate with others who are similar. But if the whole Earth ascends and Heaven on Earth reigns, you can still be profoundly unhappy if you haven't done the inner work and healing. So why look at the world or wait around for it to change when the cause of this feeling of wanting, impatience, and sadness is really just our own longing for a better life. Accept first, and all else flows from there.

I am positive about our collective future, but sometimes it's fun to think okay, what if the whole world goes up in nuclear smoke today? And that'd be okay too. We're not limited to bodies, and that little perception changes the game.

From a big-picture perspective even if the world is progressing in terms of consciousness (which I think it is), that's not to say it won't regress later or that we personally will all go up with it. Up, down, always changing, and not something I think is important on an absolute ultimate sense. But for now I do see positive signs that our world has the potential to shift for the better, with new types of kids being born, new technologies invented, increased galactic energy, releasing dark energies, and changing DNA. It's fun to go along for the ride! But maybe I've had enough after this one too??
