When I was younger I used to be a Lucid dreamer. Every night I could control and decide what I was going to dream, and know I was in a dream. It was like going on an adventure.
It faded over the years, even though my dreams are often still vivid.
Have just read that Vitamin B6 has been known to enhance Lucid dreaming and make dreams more vivid.
December 21st 2012 has already passed in Samoa. Contrary to Hollywood and Internet Crazies, the turning of 21st December doesn’t take place in the Western world first
So it is already 21.12.12. and yep, I am still breathing and there is no major asteroid or planet colliding with ours as I type this… so we can all go and buy Christmas presents and write our New Years resolutions.
On a serious note though, the whole Apocalypse thing has got me thinking.
First it was the whole year 2000 ‘Millennium bug’ and now the whole 2012 Mayan Apocalypse. They have both been used as excuses to get everyone on this ‘end is nigh’ dark ‘end of days’ vibe. Is it because we watch so many dramatic movies that we believe the hype and get high off the drama?
Essentially the Mayans were very spiritual people and from what I have read, more evidence point towards December 21st (Winter solstice) being the mark of a change into a new era, a chance for humanity to progress to a higher level of consciousness. This sounds way more interesting and positive! If I’m going to go with any idea, it’s this one.
They talk about light bearers, people who can channel this powerful positive energy and accelerate the shift in consciousness. So, instead of freaking out every time there is a natural disaster and looking for evidence for the end of the world and some kind of disastrous event that will wipe us all off the face of the Earth. Let us consider what we can do while we are here to make the world a better place.
After all, if we are only going to kill one another, pollute our planet and live our lives selfishly, greedily working boring stressful jobs that we hate, then why be here in the first place? The world might not have ended today, but we will die one day, so we should make life worth living!
Let’s use this December 21st to really take control of lives and live fearlessly! Do what you love. Love one another. Give to others. Create. Travel. Learn. Live!
Reminded once again the reason we are put on this earth. To reach that perfect moment of blissful peace within ourselves, the world and the people around us. To live life, create, be inspired and to inspire others. To feel connected to the soil (or sand ), to lose our ‘selves’ and find unity with the universe inside and out.
Suddenly in that moment of realisation I feel happy and content once again and back onto the path of simply being and not worrying about every little or seemingly big thing.
Happiness is not about reaching any particular goal or status it is right here within you to be experienced right now. There is nothing at all that can take you away from the happiness that stems from your connection to each and every thing.
This beautiful picture is where my sister is right now- living life, connecting with others and appreciating what is within and all around us. I feel slightly envious I admit, which is not a good feeling to have (!) but more than that I feel so happy that she is doing what we were all put on earth to do- to experience and enjoy! and that potential is there for everyone. There is always a way =)
