The Sanctity of Newness

January 1st 2016. There are some of us who choose to acknowledge the new year now, and others of us who choose to acknowledge it at another time. One thing is for certain. The air is all abuzz with heightened expectations for change, mostly for the better. Whether or not this is the “correct” new year, the fact that so many people recognize it as such, makes it very significant. We have learned through metaphysical studies that humans have an exceptional ability to create what we expect to see. Therefore, when a certain idea is common in the collective consciousness, it cannot help but to create an energetic reaction. This is very important because everywhere I turn, people are having similar thoughts for the year 2016 AD. The common message is one of restoration, with expectations of prosperity and abundance. It is possible that with the breakdowns that occurred in 2014 and 2015 that we are now more ready and more able to step into co-creating a better world.

Newness is important. With newness, the weight of the past is lifted. With newness, possibilities are endless. Newness does not allow for limitations or preconceived notions. This is not just important at the beginning of a year. It is important every day, every moment. It is the storing up of expectations, ideas and judgments which create conditioning; and it is conditioning that causes us to lose our fire after something is not “new” anymore. This is when we become less excited about those new year’s resolutions, or become complacent in romantic relationships. On a broader scale, we become less adventurous and therefore less ambitious. We take less risks and settle into life because we believe we have things figured out. We know “how it works.” We talk ourselves out of things we really want to do because we “know” they will not work. We repeat the same routine day after day because of an accepted idea of stability that may or may not be true. Possibilities are limited. Hopes and dreams are childish. We stop dreaming. We stop wishing. We stop hoping. Eventually we stop living. Our bodies are still alive, but we, the true essence, stops…dies.

Now take those ideas, memories, wounds, conditionings and sweep them away. What reason can you find now, not to do what you want to do? What if you never knew what it felt like to lose money? What if you never knew what heartbreak felt like? What if you never knew embarrassment? What would you do?

I challenge you to take this very special year and practice newness in every possible moment; from the time you arise in the morning, to the time you lie down at night. I challenge you to expect the unexpected in your everyday life. I challenge you to take chances as if the idea of failure is not even possible.

Let us collectively create a new world. Happy new year; and thank you for reading my first post. 😊
