Waking up

When you finally suspect that life can be more than what you have today
.
When something inside you says "is this really it?" 
.
When you finally get a grip.
.
When you finally decide to be the best you can and live to your higher values.
.
This is when you decide to cooperate with nature.
.
Nature which is waiting to evolve you.
.
Then your unfolding can proceed rapidly.
.
Your past will decide present and future events.
.
They may bring a sense of glorious freedom with deeper sympathies.
.
New friends and opportunities.
.
Or perhaps more often misfortunes.
.
Suffering.
.
Or enemies may arise from nowhere.
.
Because none of us has avoided clashes with universal law.
.
We have all created negative karma.
.
This must be paid before we can move on.
.
Just like any other bills in fact.
.
However once this is done, and all must do this.
.
And there are no exceptions to this rule.
.
This makes evolution easier in a way to know that all those before us had to pay their karma too.
.
Money, fame, power, riches, family, networks, class have no influence on this universal law.
.
Eventually if you stick with it this self directed evolution. 
.
For that is what it is and must be.
.
Your decision to grow and move on to clear purpose and meaning of life.
.
A life devoted to more love and altruism.
.
Will lead out into the open spaces of freedom.
.
Into glorious possibilities. 
.
We are constantly on the edge or fringe of great opportunities.
.
And at some crucial point.
.
And then............
.
Instead of grasping these opportunities.
.
And moving on to a larger view.
.
And a broader spiritual life.
.
We shrink.
.
We hold back through timidity.
.
And so we lose them all.
.
Our present time is an unusual cycle, with a great deal of change.
.
And never again in this life will we meet these present opportunities 
.
It's real if only we can understand to grasp them.
.
These steps into clear understanding, for the first time in our lives.
.
Into true freedom are there for all of us.
.
Will you take them?
.
If you do, I can only share that life is totally but totally different.
.
More freedom less fear.
.
More peace of mind.
.
Once experienced no other way is interesting or possible.
.
These times are a wake up call for us all.
