Happy New Year Everyone!

How the heck did a whole decade go by? Seems like just yesterday we were all wondering if we would disappear as of New Year 2000 and the new millennium. Remember? You just gotta laugh at us humans with our fears and superstitions, eh?

In retrospect, which I think every New Year affords us – a review of where we have been so that we might choose more consciously where it is we would like to go, here’s what I see.

The decade of the 2000′s was a major “contraction” into fear. We began in fear in 1999 with Y2K and we built on the fear theme full throttle for the first 4 years. At every opportunity to choose “not fear”, we chose more fear. The 2000′s saw the initiation of the Patriot’s Act in October, 2001 and the formation of the Department of Homeland Security in November of 2002  to protect freedom. In 2003 the Department of Immigration and Naturalization was absorbed into the Department of Homeland Security, as the witch hunt for terrorists increased and our personal freedoms decreased.

This contraction brought into question whether we were willing to give up some of our personal freedoms for the sake of safety. Each of us, of course, weighed this question up for ourselves as the reality of these new laws impinged on us personally in airport lines or other encounters. These encounters caused us to reevaluate, rethink, and reconsider the “price of safety” and the opportunity to choose again.

Meanwhile at a grassroots level, a body of new thought was taking root: the Law of Attraction. Could it be that we are the Creators of all of our own reality. If so, how the heck did we co-create (attract) the attacks of 911? The evolution of mankind in consciousness seemed to be interwoven with the physical events taking place on Earth.

America became increasingly unpopular across the globe going to war in Iraq and with other uncharacteristic acts of aggression/imperialism launched from a place of fear, greed and lack. Now, if one was looking with the desire to see, on the global screen one could see in living technicolor how beliefs and thought vibrations create “reality” on earth. From 2204-2008 this pattern continued with more fear creating more actions out of fear culminating in the financial crisis and the near bank collapse.

As the 2008 campaign geared up it was clear that this election was a “consciousness” election, rather than political. There were those who were unwilling to change and those who were sick of the fear and wanted to break free and create a world anew.

The Presidential Election of 2008 was not just an American event, but was a global event reflecting a world tired of living in fear and wanting to expand into more freedom, more joy, and more good.

2009 was the year of stopping a runaway freight train traveling at breakneck speed in an unwanted direction. There was a lot of momentum to the fear train. 2009 wasn’t so much of a building year, as it was putting on the brakes and stopping the slide into even more fear. New ideas that were long suffering found a time to be heard. We’ve spent a year sorting through ideas, beliefs and thought forms, much like cleaning out the American attic and basement, deciding which ones we will use to build the new future on and which we will recycle into the cosmic mind.

The 2009 debate on a health care reform is the first place where we are attempting new thought. However healthcare reform is only in its infancy as integrating New Thought into mainstream policy is only in its infancy. As of now, it is still largely based in fear and lack, missing completely the idea that the individual is sovereign in choosing Well Being, or not; and that if allowed, the body’s default position is wellness, not sickness.

This is where we find ourselves this brand New Year , 2010. We are on the cusp, a pivot point where New Thought and mainstream may or may not merge. It is an evolutionary process, not a revolutionary process. However, this time there is some mass and momentum for New Thought to actually begin shaping our future back into Oneness and Well Being.

It’s the most exciting time to be alive on planet Earth. We wouldn’t have missed this for anything!

We are choosing our future, creating it as we go, one thought at a time, one persona at a time. How cool is that?

Thanks for reading!
