Believing is Seeing
by Owen Waters
Today’s massive, ongoing Shift in consciousness is a shift from intellectual awareness to holistic awareness.

Intellectual awareness is a function of the solar plexus chakra, where mental ability is developed in a linear direction. Examples of linear thought include the performing of arithmetic and the operating of machinery. In this mode of consciousness, people have learned to develop a rigid discipline of “seeing is believing” in order to find what works and what doesn’t.

With holistic awareness, the heart chakra is developed, allowing issues of separation to be resolved and integrated. Holistic awareness means that mind, body & spirit are seen as closely related facets of the human being. This heart-centered awareness is a viewpoint of integration or wholeness which heals the fears and discords that come with solar plexus consciousness.

There is a paradox with moving from linear intellect to heart-centered consciousness. While the intellectual phase of consciousness may say that “Seeing is believing,” the holistic phase requires quite the reverse. In holistic consciousness, opposites are often both true as they are seen as opposite sides of the same coin or as polar opposites of the same issue.

Awareness that is limited to the intellect is subject to issues of separation; of us versus them, of struggling for resources that are perceived as scarce instead of solving the problem of their scarcity. Holistic awareness includes the idea that consciousness creates realities, that something must be created in consciousness – “believed” – before they can become a reality.

So, in holistic consciousness, “Believing is seeing” becomes a statement of truth, even though it is the opposite of “Seeing is believing.” Instead, it adds the understanding that reality is created by consciousness. We are not merely observers of what is. We create what is.

Traditionally, people have entered a realm of holistic, heart-centered awareness when they pass on from this life. In the afterlife, their task is to heal the fears and hates of their physical lives and transform them into love and forgiveness, thus integrating themselves with others, rather than feeling separate from them.

Today, due to The Shift, more and more people are embracing holistic, heart-centered consciousness while still alive in physical bodies. As the heart is also the gateway to spiritual consciousness, this global movement is producing a revolution in spiritual unfoldment.

Spiritual consciousness is flowering in the global consciousness of humanity as The Shift progresses. Today’s pioneers in consciousness are people just like yourself. They are exploring the new territory of unconditional love and experiencing a reunion with their own inner, spiritual connections.

The higher aspect of heart-centered consciousness is fully connected to your inner being, or soul. Your inner being is fully connected to the consciousness of the universe and to that which created the universe. Infinite Being is within each of us. We are Infinite Being.

The daily focus that we apply to our five senses and their connection to the outside world is just like performing a part in a play. We act out the part of being us, along the general theme of the type of events that we planned for this life. We ride along through the journey of this life, gaining the type of experiences that we planned to gain.

When you open up to your heart, and through that, reconnect to your own spiritual source, then you have become a part of the very future of humanity.

The Shift is heading towards a world where unconditional love and acceptance is normal, where strife is relegated to the distant past, where the true potential of human beings can express itself in the daily joy of being all that you are.

From Kenton David Bell

2012 is here... And so are we!

        We have all been waiting, looking and working towards this year for some time now. Now that it's here what's next?
            
YOU ARE THE SOURCE OF IT ALL
   
     This year is a time that has been predicted for thousands of years. This year we are going to experience the end of time as we have come to know it, according to the Mayan Calendar. By no means do these prophesies state that we are going to experience any great calamity such as the end of the world or even great natural catastrophes on an epic scale. Rest assured we are not in store for a Hollywood version of 2012!

    What I hear and believe from Team Beloved is this is a time of great change in how we relate to ourselves, our human experience, and others. Our priorities are in the midst of great change and this can cause a deep sense of chaos and confusion. This confusion is not just an individuated experience, but collective as well. The majority of us are aware of the change that is currently taking place. We see it in our own lives, we see it in the financial markets. Many of us are personally experiencing a deep change in what is important to us. How do we want to spend our time, how to express ourselves. These are the signs of the times. Welcome to THE CHANGE!

 
    It is a time of New Beginnings. A time of finding new ways and means of addressing "old system" dismantling. When we find that the old way of doing is no longer serving, we need to look within, to discover what the new is attempting to revel to us. Not only as individuals but as a collective as well. It is through the SELF that the pathway forward will be revealed.

     One of the seemingly frustrating experiences of this time is when we look to old solutions, or "old thinking" to solve issues that can no longer be solved in the traditional ways. The solutions live in a New Thinking, a new consciousness, as a matter of fact, it's not solutions, but new systems that we need to be looking at.

"We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them." Albert Einstein

   It has been the very fabric of time that has "woven" consciousness according to the energies and magnetics of our "old" time paradigm.  This has been dictated by our solar systems' position in relation the center of the Galaxy and where we have been in our evolution as conscious spiritual beings having the human experience.

    This dynamic has created the familiar system, with familiar problems and solutions, until this period we are now entering into.
 
    Therefore the conditions for solutions to address the changes we are now facing no longer lie in the conscious  collective "weave" we had become familiar with over the last 13,000 years or so.Let's look outside the box.
                 
TIME AFTER TIME
 
    This is a time of stepping into the unfamiliar and the unknown to find the way forward. This is true individually as well as as collectively. This needs to occur individually in order to be assimilated into the collective.
In other words: Become The Change You Wish To See.

  
     This is a time when intuition and guidance will become a necessity to your ability to move forward into the unknown. Trusting your inner compass, to guide you with courage and flexibility.
 
                   
                  A Leap In Evolution.
    Nothing like this has ever happened before.


     We are entering into a time of incredible growth and jump in evolution as individuals as well as a species.  You are participating in a giant leap forward. It can feel almost impossible, at moments, to keep up with the changes occurring at such an accelerated rate. Our energies and how we perceive ourselves are evolving at a rapid pace.
     Perhaps a more appropriate way to put it would be we are in the midst of remembering who we truly are. You see we've been asleep for a long time. Now we are waking up to our Divinity in Human form. This is the most grand time of all times to be here on this planet experiencing this great leap.
                 
                You are the chosen ones.
              
            
THE NEW ENERGIES AND THE HUMAN SYSTEM
 
  
     As the new energies are revealing themselves it is causing changes within our energy systems. How we metabolize energy is changing. Our Chakras are experiencing shifts in how they use the energies that are becoming more available to us though our shifts in consciousness. When you shift your consciousness into a higher vibration you begin to metabolize the energies to match that shift. This changes the the dynamic of the chakra that is metabolizing the energy from the etheric into the physical.

 When you have old issues, patterns, trauma stuck in the chakras, this can prevent the shift into higher consciousness from taking place in the human body.
This is often the reason behind disease as well.

 Therefore it is highly desirable to work on releasing these old energies that are associated with the "old paradigm". In doing so will create a greater ability for the Human System to evolve into greater expression of your Divine Essence, bringing greater health and balance as well.

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN I SHIFT?

    When you clear the old out and begin to allow more of your Divinity to express its' self through your Human Self you become much more ready and able to live your Divine Expression here on Planet Earth. There is nothing more fulfilling than living one's Divine Expression through the Human Experience...  When we begin to do this on a regular basis we are in the beginnings of creating   Heaven on Earth.
                 
Have A Beloved Day!

       After the great rains, the lion was faced with crossing the river that encircled him.  Swimming was not in his nature, but it was either cross or die.  The lion roared and charged the river, almost drowning before he retreated.  Many times he attacked the water, and each time he failed to cross.
 
       Exhausted, the lion lay down.  In his quietness, he heard the river say, "Never fight what isn't here."
 
       Cautiously, the lion looked up and asked, "What isn't here?"
 
       "Your enemy isn't here," answered the river.  "Just as you are a lion, I am merely a river."
 
       Now the lion sat very still and studied the ways of the river.  He watched and listened.  After a while, he walked to where a certain current brushed against the shore.  Stepping in, he floated to the other side.
