How Will You Let Your Light Shine in 2009?
Jeff
Anyone that knows me knows that one of my favorite quotes is from Marianne Williamson's book "A Return to Love" when she speaks about our "deepest fear." This is a quote that has been used in at least two movies, in Nelsen Mandela's inauguration speech and in previous blog posts here.
Here is what she says:
"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, 'who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God! Your playing small doesn't serve the world. There's nothing enlightening about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine like children do. We are meant to make manifest the glory of God that is within us.
It's not in some of us; it's in all of us! And as we let our light shine, we give others permission to do the same. As we're liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."
Marianne Williamson
As we prepare to head into 2009, we must consider how we are going to let our individual and collective light shine.
There are many in this country and around the world who continue to wait for the return of the messiah...to seek a savior to come and save us from the "evil" that is in the world today.
But if we consider the possibility that the Messiah is already here...that the Christ Spirit exists already within each of us and if we allow ourselves to first consider that and then to awaken to that Spirit within us, then how we will "save" our world becomes clear.
I believe that collectively, we are the Savior that we seek. We are the solutions to all of the problems we have. But we have to start creating those solutions collectively and give up our fears about asking for help from others.
We are at a point in history where we must do something drastically different in every area of our lives if life on this planet is to continue...period.
But we have a greater opportunity than that. We have an opportunity to create the heaven on earth that we have yet to even dream of.
Heaven isn't a place we go when we die. Heaven is HERE...now. We just have to wake up to who and what we are. Because when we do so, we understand what our individual roles are and the resistance, the doubts, the fears about fulfilling those roles...leave us.
We need leaders to step up in every area of our society...business, government, education, financial, etc.
Some of us will need to peel away the layers of what we are not...in order to live more fully from the perspective of what we are.
Many people I talk to feel more pressured and more frustrated than they ever have in their lives. They wonder why their lives are becoming so stressful.
The answer I give them is that in order to realize Spirit within them, their foundations have to be shook a little...and for some people a lot. In order to realize our Selves and live from the perspective of the God-self, the Christ Spirit, the inner Buddha, etc; we must let go of what we are not.
None of us seeks change voluntarily. Most of us go into it kicking and screaming. But if we are to create our heaven on earth, we must let go of "life as we know it." We must detach ourselves from everything we have thought our lives were. We must learn to think completely "outside the box" and ask ourselves how we would create our lives and our world if we could set it up in a way that worked for everyone.
As the walls of our society crumble around us, we can either figure out how to band-aid them back into place...or let them shatter so that we can build anew and build a solid foundation that works.
It will require that we all work together though. This will not work if we continue to just look our for our individual interests. We must think about the good of the whole.
So I have three questions to consider here:
1. What are the top three issues that you are committed to working on to change your individual and our collective reality in 2009?
2. What are the key obstacles that you perceive?
3. What are you going to do to work through those obstacles?
Remember, we can only give away to others that which we have. So in order to give away Love, you must first know yourselves as Love. In order to give away Peace, you must first realize Peace within you. In order to give away Joy, you must first awaken to the Joy within you.
How will you let go of who you "think" you are in order to realize your Self?
Once you do, you will no longer have to think about how to let your light shine. It will shine because that is simply who you are.
But to get there, you have to start considering it now.
Namaste

Yes, Jeff
This is precisely my message to the world, and has been for about 10 years…it is exciting to see us waking to the realization of a higher potential. Marianne is truly a bright light for us all, and someone I have been in the presence of personally—she talks about the need for miracles and to have miracles we need miracle workers–that's would be each of us.
Here's to Making 2009 the year for us all to shine. And as a fellow coach, a gentle reminder for each of us to align with someone to help us with that process—as it is much easier to do with a partner/mentor/coach.
Thanks for all you do to help raise the conscsiousness, Jeff
In bright light, Michelle

Well said Jeff…I find it easier and easier to shine the light and love of who I am, as I allow myself to BE me. Many might ask what it means to be me, and I would have to say that to BE me all I have to do is listening and follow my heart NOW and ALWAYS. When I decide to listen and follow my heart, I begin to glimpse my True Self. When I do this, all of the thoughts and ideas of who I thought I was simply begin to fall away, and I who I really am becomes even clearer and easier to see within me. The more I follow my heart, the more peace, love and joy I discover (re-member) about myself. This is not something that can be thought of, but rather can only be felt. Our thoughts are born of the past; even a seemingly new thought is based on what we have learned and experienced in the past; therefore, it can only change slightly. But when we listen to our hearts, we are not connecting with our thoughts; rather, we are connecting with the Christ that is within each and everyONE of us. When we connect with this Godhead, all things become possible, even things that we have not dreamt of yet; this is were all new and “outside of the box” “thinking” comes from (I use quotations around the word “thinking” here because to me it is not “thinking” as much as it is feeling). By connecting with and following these ONEderFULL feelings, which are borne from the heart, is how I allow the light and love of who I AM to shine out into the world and be felt and seen by all. From this place of knowing I find peace, love and joy, and therefore I share peace, love and joy with everything and everyONE always.
This is how I have; once again, remembered the beauty of who I AM. This would be my advice to other for learning, discovering, remembering once again who they truly are - LOVE. This is my grown up Christmas List. ;-)
Thank you, Jeff, for shining your ONEderFULLy glorious light unto the world for all to see and recognize.
Much LOVE ♥ ♥ ♥
