"The Journey from the Old to the New" (temporary title can be made up by transcriber)

Firekeepers Holding Space (optional): Kathy, Wayne, Marianne, Donna etc...

Opening Transmission:

"There is progress made before the new day dawns. An interim period begins now. The new comes, but not yet. Like a journey between homes, the traveler confronts a process, from one to the other, before arriving in the new. The journey from the old to the new is not the new place. It is different from the old but not yet the new - but it is new to the traveler. That is the place you are in now, beginning very recently. You will not be able to get used to how things are now. They will not be like this for long. And when they change again, they change for good, from your perspective. The way to be is connected. Pilgrims [managing?] a journey from east to west came together in bands, completed the journey, and then separated. The journey was hard. It required a group to do it. So they came together.

Much of your lives now will be group life. You will be part of many groups, not one group, but in each of the things you do, be part of a group. If it is cooking, cook group cooking. If it is singing, sing together. If it is making the food or the house, being alone will not work - not because it is more spiritual being grouped, but because practicality calls for a variety of skills.

Service is needed; service creates abundance. You will not be able to create flow if it is only you acting. It must be a circuit of energy.

That is what we have to say.

What Questions Do You Have?"

QUESTION: What do you suggest should be my current approach related to my financial situation?

RESPONSE:

"Flame lilly, be a light. You are not the shape of your leaves. You are not the number of your petals. You are that source that gives rise to this flower you are.

If you choose to be defined by the world, you will have to shape yourself. If you allow the shape you do have to speak, then you will shape the world. Not because you have power, but because you are a shape. Ultimately, you are your world.

It is very natural to the transition time to try to hold on, to negotiate what exists. But it is impossible to do that and stay true to the center. So you will have to choose. What you will find is that what calls you out from yourself defines you temporarily and then provides the opportunity for collapse. Take the opportunity. Collapse - and let yourself know that there is no collapse that is not collapse back to the center."
