I am beginning to realize that there are two stages of self-change. The first is the awareness or learning stage. The second stage is adaption or integration! AND… Sometimes I suck at the second stage!
Everyone around me is continually talking about how fast time is moving these days. I’m part of this group who is experiencing how rapidly things are shifting and changing and what this does to distort the passage of time. A constant state of flux, sometimes experienced as chaos; plays tricks on the mind and seems to accelerate time. Weeks seem like days.
We are being bombarded with new information, insights and concepts that have us engaged in the creation of our life or lives. Some of it we dismiss, a bit more we decide to delay and the rest we attempt to integrate into our already full existence(s).
If you are like me, something happens in your day – a reflection; an insight; a revelation. You realize that this is a piece of learning that you have been searching or waiting for. An insight into a situation, behavior, tendency or challenge that you have been wanting to change or modify in some way. One of those ‘ah-ha’ moments.
Something clicks. You can see how this new information could shift and change many aspects of your life. You see the patterns that have kept the old you treading water, or feeling like you’re swimming up stream. Suddenly the way forward seems obvious. You make a new choice and choose to change. You fully embrace this new awareness! You are committed to this first stage of self-change!
Then the 3-D world we live in bombards you with logistics, tasks, timelines and requirements! The next thing you know, days or weeks have past by, and you realize that this same awareness you swore you were going to integrate or embrace; is back again. You know the rightness of it, and once again recommit to the self-change you know is in alignment with who you are becoming! You are committed to this first stage of self-change (again)!!
This appears to be the cycle of my life these days! Oh I change; eventually! However, it is as if the Universe has to remind me over and over again, of the lesson I thought I learned. It seems like I am really dense and these things take a long time to penetrate.
Or is it that the second stage of self-change is where my real challenge is? I give myself a hard time for being slow to learn. But the truth is I am slow to integrate! I imagine most of us are. We have busy, full lives. Most of us spent years designing, building and reinforcing the circumstances of our day-to-day world.
So..,maybe instead of giving myself a hard time about being slow to learn, I could appreciate that frequently it takes time to change the course or direction of a moving ship.
With Light, Love, and Laughter

Morning, Charles! I had made a decision right before our class on Saturday to change a way I had reacted to certain circumstances most of my adult life. Something magical happened at our crystal grid class which for me was the start of integration. I’ve experienced a huge Shift for me. If I take a few steps backwards, that will be okay….because the memory is in my cells and that will propel me forward again and I am ready! Blessings to you for all you do!. .
Thanks Donna for sharing this with me. I love what you said about it being okay if you take a few steps back! That really is another way we move or think we move between these two stages. A helpful reminder for me!
And thanks for being part of the crystal grid event! It was a perfect group and I love what we created! You have reminded me that I need to post a picture of that grid on Facebook! Share the joy and the connection to our I AM presence.
I’m with you! 😉 <3
Love having your company Kathryn!
Oh my yes, I’m exactly in this spot. I keep hearing the message to ‘focus on the energy’ and I do for a short time and then back to the old ways of judging based on appearance and not the energy. But each time the time lapse between going back to the old ways and either being reminded or recalling myself to focus on the energy gets a little shorter.
Thanks for adding another piece to the puzzle Glenn… The distance or time between the reminders or remembering! It is so true. And then one day…, it just IS!
This is also part of Mystical Madness by Carolyn Myss. We are doing something that not other time has done. In other times we either lived a life dedicated to spiritual growth, and vision quest, or to a life with business, family and ordinary reality concerns. In this life we are doing both. And she referred to Phoenix, Arizona 85086 as Mystical Madness, and stated that it is hard to blend both in our lives. That was in the nineties.
Now things are speeded up, and it seems new Phoenix, Arizona 85086 downloads are major and happening weekly to daily. We are co existing in a three dementional world, with others of varied energies and beliefs. We require ourselves to handle all that occurs with grace and balance, while growing and healing. And we also expect to move into a 4th dementional energy. That is what we came to do.
I feel the same. I’m dumb. I’m slow. But reading this article, I get that we are amazing. To move through self awareness, self healing, and to raise the energies of this world, while we live the mundane life of ordinary reality, is amazing. To do it in such esculated times, ladies and gentleman, you are a miracle.
Thanks Jay for sharing Carolyn Myss’ work with us here and some of the language and ideas she has been focusing on. There is something about the desert here that seems to encourage or insists that we pay attention to our connection to the Divine and our spiritual nature. Your insights are greatly appreciated! Miracles!
Thank you. Your article was a good reminder that we are moving g forward.
