Hello Everyone.
       I know that I haven’t written in awhile. I wanted to write a 2006 overview, but a funny thing happened. As I tuned into the energy of this year I felt so much chaos everywhere. Lots of rapid changes on every level that I look. Well this set me back a bit. How do you write an overview that would sound like the stuff we see in the papers? I’ve always been a person who can always see the bright side of everything. I truly believe as a world we have been so disempowered, I have always tried to help people with empowering news. So here I was in a dilemma, so time went by and I wrote nothing. During this time I tried to keep extra busy as I felt all this rumbling in the universal consciousness. Surges of energy. After the surges many people would tell me how they felt everything was falling apart in their lives, many on spiritual paths felt as though they were waiting for something to happen, they felt as though they were at a standstill. Even more perplexing to me were my own readings. Where I used to see a few different probabilities for a persons future, now I could see a hundred, the possibilities are endless. Truly a time where anything can happen in a flash. Through all of this I kept going back to the heart. The mind or brain is in survival mode at all times, it is for the most part paranoid, always wanting to be sure we are ok. Always wanting us to move faster and figure out the future so we can be safe, always afraid of what tomorrow might bring…. Then the heart, always wanting to us to slow down, enjoy life, feel more, think less, love more, be softer, less high tech. The word courage comes from a Latin root “cor” which means “heart”. So to be courageous means to live with the heart. The brain creates a security of logic around itself, becoming fearful. The way of the heart is the way of courage. It is to live in insecurity, it is to live in love, and trust; it is moving in the unknown. It is leaving the past and allowing the future to be. I began to put it all together for myself. I got help with some of the words from Osho. Heart is the future; it is always somewhere in the future. The brain thinks about the past. The heart dreams of the future. So I finally felt I had enough understanding to put the information out to you. I just sat and felt the heart of this year. What I got was Courage!


Don’t call all this craziness in world Uncertainty – Call it WONDER
Don’t call all your fear, insecurity – Call it FREEDOM

In the beginning there is not much difference between the coward and the courageous person. The only difference is, the coward listens to his fears and follows them and the courageous person puts them aside and goes ahead. The courageous person goes into the unknown in spite of all the fears “Osho”

This is the epitomy of this coming year. We are all going to see so many things that seem violent, and even down right just bad. Many changes are coming in how we live and our personal relationships, finances, etc. Everything is being pushed to the limit. Courage means going into the unknown in spite of all the fears. There aren’t any promises for the future; any promise for the future would mean that we would be secure. We know that prophecy can give us a heads up so that we can change the future. So therefore the future is so very mutable. Which is why some of us who can look ahead, can only see probabilities. But being honest, no psychic, seer, diviner can truly promise the future.
I know that in my own life I always want to be certain, always wanting to feel safe. I’ve come to realize that one of the lessons of this store is, it has taught me that everything is uncertain, I wanted to have a business that would give me something to rely on, something to give me a sense of certainty that a job couldn’t give me. Well the gods must have been laughing! The years I have had this business have been filled with uncertainty, I never know if I am going make it from one year to the next. It has never been the stability and certain thing I thought it would be. I’ve been through more changes with the store than a fashion model doing a fashion show…. Yes, it has been uncertain but it has been filled with wonder……After awhile I realized that I was very attached to the outcome, I thought I had to make it work, I needed to take care of myself and I truly felt that because I supported the spiritual , the spiritual would support me. Then it finally hit me, nothing is secure, so why be attached to the outcome. All I can do is march into each day doing the best I can. Moving in a direction that felt right. So I lost my attachment to whether the store made it or not. I just started to try to enjoy the experience of the store itself, with all its insecurity, with all the uncertainty. What a difference that made, I watched other stores close and became aware of what was going on around here with our economy. I marveled that some how some way it always keeps changing and surviving. Because the only thing I can do is be here and be aware and participate in the moment, each moment. So I have become quite used to uncertainty and I think it’s wonderful. How boring if we always knew what was to be and we had all our ducks lined up in a row. True courage for me comes from an awareness that I will be ok, no matter what happens. So will all of you! So many of you are so frightened of the things that are changing in your lives, you don’t know where you are headed and that scares you too. Well Caroline Myss in her tape set about intuition states that the truest intuition is when you don’t know where you are going or what is going to happen. Awareness and intuition are tools to help in this changing time. Be aware of what is going on, use and follow your intuitions even though you don’t know where it’s going to take you. Look at your feelings; pay attention to what feels right in your heart and head that way. Or you can just keep ignoring the uncertainty and insecurity and live in the dogma’s that this world has been passing to us as religion, law, belief systems that don’t work anymore. Choice is yours. I chose Wonder, and freedom from old insecurities and fears. Yes you will still feel fear, but look at it, feel it, where is it coming from and what does it mean and when I become afraid and look at it, it is usually that I am afraid to change something and then I feel that I am aware and can then make a better choice as to how I am going to move forward. I hope this helps you all, because we are all going to need to be courageous in this year ahead. I felt a huge energy shift coming in the spring; it feels like a lot of things will change as the result of something huge as yet unseen, but I can feel it building. So get real with everything in your life, start to put yourself where you feel the best, where you find the most joy. The happier you can be the higher your energy and the better your chances of sailing through difficult times and chaos, as though you had a boat made to float through it……Did we learn nothing from Noah. Remember the future is yet to come, it is already coming. Every moment the future is becoming the present, the present becoming the past. The past has no possibility, you have already moved away from it. The future is coming, ever coming and you are always moving.
 

  You cannot be truthful if you are not courageous
You cannot be loving if you are not courageous
You cannot be trusting if you are not courageous
You cannot inquire into reality if you are not courageous
Hence courage comes first and everything else follows…..”Osho”
 

Namaste Judy
