The Time is Now

“The Time is Now” -Hafiz-e Siraz (1380)

Now is the Time to know
That all that you do is sacred.

Now why not consider
a lasting Truce with yourself and God/Goddess

Now is the Time for you to understand
That all your Ideas of right and wrong
were just a child’s training wheels
To be laid aside
When you finally live
with veracity and love.

My Dear please tell me why do you still throw sticks at your heart and god?

what is it in that sweet voice inside that incites you to fear?

Now is the Time for the world to know
That every thought and action is sacred.
This is the Time for you to Deeply compute the Impossibility
That there is anything
BUT GRACE
Now is the season to know That everything you do
Is Sacred.

Hafiz.

In 1380 Hafiz (1315-1390), a Persian Mystic poet, asked us to quit throwing stones at our hearts and our deities. He asked his followers, to begin this work now. He said this, through his poems, and more than 600 years later, the time is still NOW!  We can learn to  speak lovingly to ourselves, to be impeccable with our words, to truly listen to what stories we tell ourselves.

Now is the time to break negative thinking patterns, to open your heart and mind to possibility, and to join this movement that has begun evolving our planet through evolving ourselves. The time is now to trust the world that you live in.

Twice a month this blog will post a tool for changing your thinking, behaviors and attitudes. Join us, help create love peace and joy in your life, thus adding to the love, peace and joy in the world; on the planet.

Many years ago a woman who spent many days of her life in protest of our goverment, Sonia Johnson, encouraged her readers to stop fighting and resisting the powers that be. Instead put their energy into creating what it is that they wanted. I would like to second that sentiment.

Tool:

Don’t make assumptions. Watch your mind how many assumptions do you make in a day. Just begin to become aware without judgment. Do you think your assumptions are real?

Evolving Consciousness is a class series I have developed to provide you with the tools to begin the work.  The most important work on the planet, the work of evolving consciousness, your consciousness.
