A NEW HEAVEN AND A NEW EARTH By: Rev. Pam
In 2004 Eckhart Tolle, in his book A New Earth, predicted that the human race was poised for a profound shift in consciousness. The book's title, A New Earth was inspired by a quote in Revelations. “I saw a new heaven and a new earth.” Also known as the book of the Apocalypse, it portends the manmade collapse of everything in the world. Out of the collapse springs forth a new earth created from a new heaven (which is a shift of our inner consciousness).
Our part is to raise our individual consciousness. As we “Hold the High Watch”, we increase the momentum of the collective unconsciousness. In other words, as Ernest Holmes said when you “change your thinking you change your life” and when you change your life, you change the world, heart by heart. As we shift our thinking, the outer is forced to change including our entire political, social, economic structures shift.
The tale of the Phoenix sums up this transformational process. It's where a bird dies in the flames only to emerge and fly out of the fire transformed into something far greater. This new consciousness means rising above our negative thoughts, realizing that deep within us, we are so much greater than our outer physicality. We are the being that is behind Spirit itself. Because “our thoughts are prayers and we are always praying” what you focus on expands in your life. When you focus on gratitude and the good in your life, your good grows and helps stabilize every area in your life which, in turn, opens you up to becoming a greater service to a world that needs your gifts. It's not the power of positive thinking; it's about the power of affirmative thinking. Because you can be positive that you're broke. It's about you affirming your greater good and becoming more of you. When you set your intention on having more happiness, seeing more beauty, looking for more opportunities in your life to serve, that will become your experience and the good in your life will expand ten-fold. When you place your thoughts and actions on love, harmony and joy, then the universe shapes itself around those thoughts and actions. When you start thinking more and more affirmative thoughts, you become a more prosperous, healthier and happier, while at the same time, opening yourself up to greater possibilities. In illuminating the nature of this shift that is rapidly sweeping the world, we will come to experience who we truly are-which is something infinitely greater than anything we currently think we are.
Together we can become part of this new creation process. Through daily meditation, prayer treatment affirmations and holding the High Watch, you have the power to be the change that changes the world. You have to the power to create a new heaven on earth!
AND SO IT IS! AND THAT'S THE WAY IT IS!
