Oh, when I dare to dream about what might have been…

And they had to be like “fuck yeah—get it, girl” cuz everybody knows what it’s like to take that first sip of a perfect iced. 🙌🏻

We will find ourselves living harmoniously on the New Earth… a place that will offer an experience of life more magical than we can presently imagine.

So today and every day after, I will hold on tightly to hope.

Cheers to a brand new year.

And when it does, as Levy writes, “all bets are off as to our potential future.” It will mark an unbelievable leap in our evolution.

And humanity will rise. We will be far more compassionate, more accepting, more loving, more joyful, and more balanced.

Many have predicted that the time is coming when even seemingly small experiences of waking up (which are usually monumental for those having the experience or reaching new awareness) will begin to gain momentum. To paraphrase Hemingway, it will happen “slowly, then all at once.”

They don’t even need to be invested in how it works.)

Everywhere I look these days, in the midst of another “dark night of the soul” for the world at large, I see people waking up in the most astounding ways.

the greater our chances of creating the new world – on Earth as it is in Heaven. (To put this in different words, as Jesus explained, those who focus on the joy of loving and serving others are already literally changing the world and humanity. They’re already changing our experience of reality.

This has deeply impacted my entire life experience.

Collectively, the more we raise our consciousness (which happens naturally the more we experience pure joy, laughter, and love, and which we can manifest through quiet stillness and intention while holding elevated, heart-centered emotions),

At the same time, we can learn to transcend the suffering… some of the fear, the sadness, the anxiety, and the pain. As for me, for example, I’m learning that I am far more than the body-mind I’ve come to know as “Cass.” I’m learning to see and engage with the world in completely different ways.

and eat it, too (which seems to be the best and smartest choice when one has cake). There’s no need to detach from this experience – we came here for it. We came here to be human.

I think it’s important to acknowledge here that what we’ve created is very real to us because we experience it as being real. It matters deeply. Personally, I love my illusion. I’m incredibly grateful for this life. But I’m starting to understand that this is a situation where we can have our cake

We’re also continuing stories that began thousands of years ago… stories that require millions and even billions of participants to sustain them. It can feel impossible to live in another version of reality when most of the world is still participating in this construct.

In the 13th century, Rumi asked, “Why do you stay in prison when the door is so wide open?” Chopra’s modern-day response is that we are simply too invested in our stories, even our painful ones, to risk a journey toward the unknown. After all, we’re not just creating and living our own stories.

So when a brighter world is possible, why do we sit in the dark? Some of history’s brightest minds have been asking the same question for our entire recorded timeline.

quantum physics for the layperson. It’s phenomenal.) What I will tell you with absolute certainty, though, is that even a brief experience of metareality can deliver incredible joy and a remarkable sense of freedom.
