As the World Rises
Someone has to step out of the mold, and I think that someone is you. Step out of the established patterns without fanfare. It is not that you give up the world. It is just that you start following your heart. Sometimes you haven't heard your heart. You haven't consulted it. You may not have even considered it. Many times you have simply followed along on a march that many follow along on and yet where your heart is not. Nevertheless, your heart is beating, and now you begin to listen to it.
For how long can you neglect your heart? For how long can you follow a march that isn't your heart's beat? When you listen to your heart, your life may not seem so different on the outside, yet the path you have stepped out of is the well-beaten past. The past no longer holds you in its thrall.
Love your heart, and love what it tells you. You are not, beloved, meant to be a marionette nor are you to pretend to yourself that you are.
And, yet, it is not enough to step out of something. There has to be something you are stepping into. There has to be something you choose. Otherwise, you are just a protestor when you are meant to be a leader. You can be a silent leader, and yet you have to be going in a direction, not simply away from another direction. And so you choose a course. It may be that, heretofore, you have been hesitant to choose a course that your heart aligns with. You are not rebelling, beloveds, you are simply choosing.
The urge to be like everyone else is over. Now you consider your heart's desires. No longer do you fluff off your heart's longings in the name of conformity. Oneness does not mean that you conform to world thought. Oneness does not mean you run with the crowd. Observe the world, and yet not be caught up where your heart is not. Give your heart a break. Listen to what it tells you. At least remember that you have a heart, and it has its say.
Again, you are not going against the crowd. That is no honor. You are simply going your way without offense to anyone or anything.
You do not feel superior to anyone else nor are you hostile. You do not fight others' thinking. You simply find your own. You think for yourself, and you are peaceable while you are at it.
True, everyone is on his or her path to Me. The ways to Me are limitless, and yet the only way is through your heart. Machinations of the mind do not bring you to Me, you understand. Cleverness does not bring you to Me. Popularity doesn't not bring you to Me. I bring you to Me. My desire for you brings you to Me. You pick up on My desire, and it becomes yours. Your heart longs for Me. You desire to be in My image.
I do not take away your free will. It's simply that you find out what your free will is. It becomes a question of what you choose to bet your money on. You can be sure it is not long-term sufferance that you bet on. Sufferance doesn't serve either you or Me. Serve Me in life by knowing your heart, and you will assuredly serve the world as you let go of the world. Then you are free, and the world rises.
The world too has to remove the shackles of the past. The world too has to be free to breathe. You have every right to choose your path and offer freedom to the world.
