Embracing Stillness as Key to Conscious Living

By 1 Comment
still_water_canal

Embracing stillness, we commune with the divine light of love and peace that is so pure and natural for us. Here is where we gain our clarity and creative insights -- and realize our mission and service in the world. At the OASIS Center for Conscious Living, the guiding principles for Conscious Living are described within the acronym for O.A.S.I.S. -- Oneness, Awakening, Stillness, Inspiration and Simplicity. The goal of the "OASIS Experience" process is to become whole, happy and … [Read more...]

Fear? Pointless.

This morning I found myself reflecting on personal experiences lived over the past 30 years. Or so. I can now say that fully half my life has been spent actively engaging in the large-scale change of consciousness I agreed to assist before I arrived. A large group of baby boomers came in as transforming agents, and I dutifully took on my part and those structures within consciousness that were mine to transmute. I didn't always know I was doing such work, of course, but I can finally see the … [Read more...]

2010, Oh Mama

By 3 Comments

A decade ago we were concerned about Y2K and the end of the world as we knew it. Perhaps we were right about the outcome, even though Y2K itself turned out to be a minor event for most people. Still, that possibility of radical change did ignite an awareness of our global interconnectedness and the possibility that our lives could experience significant shift in a short period of time. However, instead of a global meltdown at that time, we actually experienced 24 hours of collective joy. Do … [Read more...]

Transforming Our Species Part 2

By Leave a Comment

A radically different way of life and of being is calling us, with every breath. If you listen deep inside, you can sense its voice. As a flower blooms and a baby matures, as a caterpillar becomes a butterfly, so we as human beings are now metamorphosing into something new. Something radically different is beckoning us. It is the unknown. I invite you to realize that this opportunity is here now. It's time has come. Whether or not you individually embark upon this journey is not in itself … [Read more...]

Checking the Alignment

It is now three years until December of 2012, and no matter your beliefs about that date you are probably feeling the acceleration of change. I would have written exhilaration, but that may not be how you see it, given the wild ride these past months. If you consider yourself a person who is moving into the new experience on earth, you're already familiar with the challenges of re-making your life during this transition. Unknown to most people is the extra thrust of attention we've been … [Read more...]

In Transition: Mid Lives Crisis

By Leave a Comment
lafontaine

I'm wondering what goes through the mind of a caterpillar as it turns to mush in the chrysalis. No longer a caterpillar, not yet a butterfly. I don't mean to overwork a cliché, but the metaphor is apt as I sit on the cusp of my 61st year and my second life this time around. From the outside my days appear to continue as before, but on the inside I have surely entered a state even I don't recognize. The contrast in experience between my previous six decades and this moment is striking as my … [Read more...]

Beyond Human Beings

By Leave a Comment

"A human being is a part of a whole, called by us 'universe,' a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings, as something separated from the rest...a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole … [Read more...]

Pause…Reflection

For this writer, today is 09-09-09, and I just returned from a much-appreciated vacation away from the routines connected with running one's own business. For many in the New Age community, today was purported to represent another major moment in our grand adventure of personal and planetary transformation. Perhaps the numbers representing this date do mean something beyond a poetic interpretation of our times, but as planetary work goes I guess I'm still on vacation since I have felt no impulse … [Read more...]

Two Realities : One Life

By Leave a Comment
lafontaine

Holy moly, welcome to August already and the on-going, ever-morphing energies of 2009. The late spring and early summer energies were pushy, demanding, relentless, unequivocal and challenging on multiple levels. I hesitate to say were, since plenty of challenges remain, but at least I'm starting to feel like things are moving into my life again. I would say that I'm finally having an energetic thaw in terms of feeling enough energy moving to get me off my recliner, but now that I'm up I tend to … [Read more...]

Now is the Time to Step Forward

Behind the house on the cul-de-sac, two children used to play on their swingset and run around in their fenced yard first with their beagle, and then with the new beagle pup. And then one day, the family and their pets were gone. No moving truck. No big farewell to their modest suburban home. They just packed up their car and drove away. And now the dandelions are dog high, just one more snapshot in a national album. Title this one, "The Great 21st Century Transformation, or "The Collapse of the … [Read more...]

Personal transformation is the process of changing an aspect of ourselves to a more desirable state. People may encounter many difficulties when creating change, and each person’s experience is unique. Outlined below are 10 of the most common roadblocks I have observed. 1. “Therapy” is a four letter word. There is a real stigma around the word therapy. Whether it’s session work, a conversation with a good friend or communing with nature, therapy goes by many names and is really about … [Read more...]

Change and transformation are always in process to evolve us. How we respond to changes will determine how we evolve. We are now living within the 2,000-year cycle of the Age of Aquarius, and are amongst highly accelerated times of personal, emotional and spiritual growth. These evolutionary shifts have been prophesied by many ancient philosophers. To help embrace the shifts being revealed, I am comforted each day by these words of wisdom of The Serenity Prayer magnetized to my refrigerator … [Read more...]
