AMERICA IN TRANSITION, MAY 2009

It’s the window of opportunity of a lifetime, for all of us. This period we’re entering, peaking between 2011 and 2015 with a last hurrah in 2022, is going to be quite a ride.

I have suggested before that seeing these years as an amusement park ride is not just a fanciful simile but a practical idea; a perspective that could serve us well in these extraordinary times. The amusement-park-ride analogy would keep us mindful that, in other contexts, we pay for experiences that are exciting and scary. We value them enough to actually trade money for them. We seek out the titillating boost of aliveness—also known as fun—that they promise. This mnemonic exercise is first on my list of recommendations as to how we might approach the next few years with a maximum of grace and a minimum of fear.

Whatever practice we use to stay grounded, it should involve keeping our eyes, hearts and minds open. The Cardinal Cross period will feature immense drama. Humanity is dealing with big energies here, and we need spiritual courage and bold ideas to match.

2. Never liked amusement park rides

Have always liked calm and serenity. Sounds like my practices creating both are going to be well tested in the years to come.

5. I'm with you on that!

I have been reading Pema Chodron who talks alot about being grounded in the center of your own being rather than look for stability out there. I'm still finding my center...soon I'll be grounded, I'm sure :)
