What appears so daunting on many levels signifies an opportunity for (each of us) and humanity to make a leap into learning about the power we all hold to create the changes that will benefit the world. Bonnie Orgren, Stardust Seven Ray Services Report
The obviousness of the changes swirling around us and within us grows clearer all the time. I have recently had a couple of experiences that anchored this knowing more deeply within me. And I am becoming more aware of changes needed in my own life to respond, assist and benefit from this process. I (we) are being upgraded!
The first incident related to this learning for me involved my cell phone. I had checked ‘later’ on my cell phone’s update button so many times that it quit appearing. But recently when I came back from a trip to Canada after visiting my daughter, I was having some problems so went to my cell phone provider and the person who helped me told me I needed to do the upgrade. She rattled off the steps I needed to do when I got home. I asked her to write it down, knowing I would otherwise get home and have forgotten. And I felt some upgrade resistance!!
The phone update was quite simple and quick. Ah, but then re-learning to use my cell phone! It seems amusing now but was frustrating at the time. I couldn’t figure out what to press or swipe to get to the icons (or whatever they are called) to operate my phone. I was pushing and poking to no avail. I kept getting the camera and, not knowing how to get out of it, taking random photos of whatever was in front of me. Grrrr! Where was a 7-year-old when I needed them??
So I swallowed my pride and went to my cell phone provider again. In less than 30 seconds a nice young man showed me how to work the thing. I valiantly resisted my urge to feel stupid and humiliated. I did tell him that they needed to develop a simple phone for old people to use, giving him a quick lesson on landlines, party lines and past phone history. The polite young whippersnapper didn’t say anything, just looked at me with a combination of compassion, empathy and probably pity and as I left. He probably doesn’t even know what a whippersnapper is!! I did reluctantly realize that there are now useful features that I wouldn’t have accessible without the upgrade. Upgrade integration!
A bigger lesson has been happening in my life, as well. I have been running into some old programming that needed updating. At first I didn’t realize what was happening but life is persistent and the upgrades that needed to happen have become clearer. I am working through them more gracefully now that I realize the bigger picture. I am seeing positive aspects to overcoming ‘upgrade anxiety’.
I share these things because what is happening to us individually is so closely related to what is happening in the collective and to all of us. As Mastering Alchemy teacher Jim Self says repeatedly, ‘you can’t take your baggage with you on this journey’. Sounds simple till it’s baggage inside of us that needs to be cleared. Yet when we do the work and upgrade, our lives are lighter and free-er. And life seems to turning up the spotlight on things that need to shift. The good news is that the higher frequency of earth energy and collective wisdom and spiritual growth means that the upgrades and shifts happen much faster than in the past which is a blessing.
So when old memories come up that need attention, bumps come up in relationships or other life circumstances or old beliefs are challenged, ask if it’s time for an upgrade, a shift. The new programming is waiting to be installed and integrated into our lives. But we have to take action for it to happen. Always, the Divine has our best interests in mind, wanting us to be more joyful, lighter and more free. Help is available in great abundance if we ask for it.
Holiday blessings and wishes for smooth upgrades, Mary
I’m so honored Mary to be quoted by you. I can relate to your upgrade issues. And I’ve never even had a cell phone! But it seems that there have been many little hurdles that required patience on my part. And of course it is patience that the world so needs. Thank you for your messages; blessings to you and your beautiful family.
You are such an inspiration in my life, Bonnie! I learn so much from your messages and facebook wisdom. Sorry I goofed on the formatting with your name-technology is a struggle for me. But I felt that quote was so appropriate for this challenging but fruitful time of possibilities. Blessings to you at this holiday time and always!!
Wishing for you all the joy and light you want and need Mary!
Love, rhonda
Thank you, Rhonda! You are such a gift in my life. Lots of love and blessings for the holidays and in the new year!!!
