A Time of Great Transition
by Barbara Brennan

n this time of great transition
as each individual upon this
planet focuses more attention
to the processes of awakening,
-transformation, transcendence and transfiguration
there will be great changes across the planets
in the summer months, until the fall
when we meet again.

These great changes may, at first,
challenge your faith and your hope.
They may, at first, cause frightening reactions.
You may wonder what will happen to the world
as you hear threatening remarks
upon the airwaves.

But again, I reassure you,
it is only the extreme opposites
in the collective unconsciousness of humanity announcing their presence.
Announcing, proclaiming
as a way to get attention for healing.

Gayle’s Reflections

Yes it is a time of great transition. As I continue this project toward transitioning myself, my work, my creative essence out into the world, I hit resistance to the changes. I hit a wall of grief of letting go of the old ways. Rather than turn away from it, I choose to turn toward the grief and allow it to express and wave through me as a release of fear.

I am challenged by all sorts of rapid movement the world gives me. How I meet that movement determines my level of love or fear.
Love and fear are the extreme opposites that humanity is now transforming, transcending, and transfiguring. We are swimming in a soup of unconscious opposites calling our collective attention toward the healing of our humanity and the systems of community and regulation we have built. Every time a call from the media shouts… Fear! Fear! Over Here! Meet it with love.

Choose to find and express the love from within. Send your compassion toward the fear just beneath the surface of the story.

Today I am challenged to find my love under the fog of fear. Feeling a bit alone in the wildness of the world brings up the ability to survive and meet all the demands put upon me. It is just a temporary threat. I have developed extreme love, trust, faith and hope for life itself. In these moments of threat that are calling out for healing, I welcome them back to the safety of my loving heart. To the safety of the Goddess/God we all share within.

The world will always give us extreme opposites to choose…War-Peace, Freedom-Enslavement, Republican-Democrat, Muslim-Christian-Jew.
All require us to choose deep love and compassion when the call out for healing is heard.
Choose more love today.
Welcome the fear home and transmute through love. This is the great conscious transition we are all making.

Choose Love…Choose Love…Choose to Love.
Ask daily what would love do here?

Thank you Barbara, I love to watch the media show us who needs the most love right now.

See you tomorrow.
Love, Gayle

“Seeds of the Spirit”
by Barbara Brennan

It is with deep respect and honor
that we greet you here in this setting
for it is no accident that you are here now,
come here to remember
bring back into remembrance
who it is that you are
and what your purpose is here upon this earth.

And so, I ask you,
why is it that you are here?
What is that sweet longing
that you carry in your soul?
How is it that you have not allowed yourself
to express this longing in all the many ways
it seeks its freedom of expression?

It is with this sacred longing
and the seeds of the spirit
that you will find your path in this life
that you will find your purpose.

Yet all of you are already, firmly,
on that path of transformation, transcendence
and transfiguration.

Where are you now in this moment?
What is it that you wish for yourself?
Even on the level of human desires
there is therein the spiritual seed.
Open your heart to yourself
and listen ever so carefully and gently
to that sweet soul’s longing.

Gayle’s Reflections

Remember who you are. Remember who I am. I remember sitting in the ballroom when BB said these words to a group of 700-800 souls. The words and the vibration they carry continues to stir my soul into remembering. I am not what others think I am. I am me. Do I even take a breath long enough to feel where I am in this moment? Sometimes.

People hurry us to grow up and fit into the peg holes and cubicles designed to keep us small and in alignment with the process of conformity men have built all around us. In this push to become something…someone…we can lose ourselves, and our sweet desires get buried in the earth, remaining unexpressed for long periods of time.

I remember my sweet longing and how it was executed and diminished by my mother. How dare she shove me into a little box she wanted for herself. Sadly it worked for a while. To this day, the longing persists and from time to time I experience its full expression… Oh the delightful joy! That seed of my spirit is taking root now 35 years later.

So I say to you…water those seeds. Let them see the light of day. Imagine feeling the joy and satisfaction life can be when you experience the fruition of your sweet longing you carry in your soul.

Take the questions of this verse, write them down. Spend time with them to uncover what lay hidden, too fearful to be shown or engaged. Tune into your heart and allow the movement of the soul’s longing to come forth. Breathe into it and choose freedom or prison.

Thank you Barbara, I am able now to give myself permission to develop and allow my soul’s purpose upon this earth. I am a TEACHER!

See you tomorrow.
Love, Gayle
