As a humanity we are in the midst of huge change and transformation.

Think of a ship – one of those grand cargo container carriers, many football fields large, weighing tons.

When a ship like that needs to take a turn, it will start correcting its course many miles before the actual turning point. And when it is in that turning point location, it will feel like it has come to a standstill. But the turn has already been set into motion, and the change in course is inevitable. The ship may seem to be without motion or direction. The new destination isn’t visible on the horizon yet – when you look ahead at that moment, you will not see the real destination it is headed for.

We, as a humanity, right now are being stewarded into a new direction. Our course has already shifted, the change has become inevitable. It’s no longer a matter of ‘when’ we are going to shift, but ‘how’ we are going to be in that shift.

This October New Moon is an invitation to choose – within the stillness of the turning point – to leave behind the old, non-serving, self-sabotaging, grief and pain of ourselves and all who have come before us.

This is an invitation to choose:

– Love over fear
– Joy over grief
– Courage over worry
– Stillness over restlessness
– Understanding over anger

We are the new humanity. You are the new humanity. I am the new humanity.

Birthing a new humanity is not a simple, quick, painless process. It needs courage, decisiveness, willpower, comfort, love, free expression, vision, and joy. It needs an understanding of the Unity we are.

We are all on the same ship. You can decide to jump off the boat. You can scream ‘it’s all going the wrong way’. Or you can bring your harmony and positive creative power – your greater Self – to the scene.

Ask yourself today:

How can I add value to this moment of great change?

– By comforting those in fear
– By making people smile
– By inspiring others with your wisdom
– By bringing kindness to the upper and lower decks
– By clarifying what is going on wherever you can – without judgment, dogma, or force. From a place called Love.

In every birth, there is a moment of stillness. A decision is being made from ‘opening the womb’ to ‘being birthed into the world’. This is our moment of stillness.

This is the moment in which to collect all your strengths – your courage, your confidence, and peace.

This is the moment to break through the barriers and pain of the past. Letting go of all that no longer serves you.

To allow the greatness of Mother Earth to fuel you with her power and strength. For heaven to descend through all of us, to give you the gentle nudge to break through into a new earth, a new humanity.

The kingfisher is a symbol of prosperity, love, and peace. It has long been the guardian of ships at sea – taking them safely through every storm. It represents mortality and immortality, transcendence, balance of the elements, and the ability to dive deep into the still waters of the sub- and unconscious – where it delves for fish, bringing back to the surface food to feed itself and others.

What can you bring to the surface today to feed yourself and humanity?
