Welcome to a new perspective in Our Journey Into Joy. I’m writing this in early April, 2020, as our world is in the midst of a pandemic produced by the onset of the COVID-19 virus. This is not just a physical health issue. COVID-19 has also led us into an emotional pandemic.

I believe this is an opportunity for all to find their way through this fear to the possibility of transformation into joy. These moments offer each of us a choice. Do we want to stay stuck in the way we were in the years leading up to 2020? In old systems dominated by duality, greed and competition? Or are we ready for a new way of being, grounded in compassion, love, forgiveness and joy? Is it possible that we could shift the trajectory of humanity from fear-based living into a consciousness based in peace and harmony…unity?

Fear of the unknown has captured humanity in an unprecedented manner. If you have your own practices, ways of shifting old emotional attachments and belief systems, I encourage you to use them often. We have the opportunity to do so now. If you would like to try something new or do not have an understanding of how this shift is possible, the original writings here are intended to invite you to let go of old emotional entanglements and patterns. Information and practices are provided for you to explore ways in which you can release fear and open to new possibilities and potentials. Pathways to quiet the mind and open your heart and soul are needed now more than ever; I hope you will find what I offer useful to you.

I also intend to look beyond our current situation in future posts as well as looking at other stories that might be happening beneath the surface of what we think we know to be our current reality. I care not so much about the ‘facts’ of what is, for they keep changing. I do care about our experience in the moment and remembering that we can choose how our world (inner and outer) will look after this virus no longer has its hold on humanity. Mostly, I want to share my excitement about how I understand what’s going on now and what it means for our future.

Please join me as we explore the unknown together. To receive future posts, complete the subscribe area in the sidebar. I look forward to interacting with you as you leave comments or questions. For now and always, keep safe, stay healthy and let your mind go loose as we open to new possibilities of living in joy.
