Beyond the Yellow Brick Road

The sun is bright in the morning sky, a front door opens and a man reaches out to pick up the morning paper while children walk by on their way to school and birds fly overhead…a typical spring day has dawned and it is beautiful. These are the things I have come to count on; the predictable parts of my life.  In their own way they bring comfort – the world is as I expect it to be.

Yet inside brews a world that’s new.  Hopes, dreams, plans and desires all see something else.  Where is this place we dream of?  Dorothy said it was over the rainbow and current prophecy places it in the fourth or fifth dimension.  It seems always someplace else and that is suspect.  Can it not be here?

Will I wake up tomorrow and say “Aha!” I am here; no more yellow bricks or portals or spaceships or searching.  Can I do that?

I don’t think we ever get there because, well, we are always here. Rhetoric, maybe, but within these words is the key.  We will never run out of the next place to be, there is always more; More to experience, more to see, deeper to go, different ways of being.  This is good news.

The possibilities for life are infinite and you, right now, are one of them.  You exist today as this unique love particle, an emission from our creator.  You immediately began a process of self definition and expansion, and you’ll never stop.  There is no limit to where you can go or what you can become.

This next dimension has been sort of defined as a place to go and that feels like you need a ticket or you have to fill certain requirements before you are allowed on board.  We are all going, simply because we are not capable of stagnation.  Our universal plan is one of growth, progress and evolution.  We are in an eternal process of becoming.

I like the familiar.  It gives me a sense of home – this is the place from which I spring.  I will not like it any less when I am further along this yellow brick road, this inter-dimensional highway – no, I expect I will develop a deeper understanding and appreciation for what it means to me.

We have always been shifting and ascending.  Today we are enjoying the thrill of expectation for that magical moment when we’ll all be “shifted” and “ascended” – 12.21.12.  And then what?

Then, we’ll have come full circle and like the fools journey, begin again, this time with new insights and richer appreciation.  We’ll look around at our neighbors and our daily routines and relish them, while internally yearning for more.

This is what is so wondrous and amazing about us!  We are equipped with constant enthusiasm, filled with unstoppable drive and brimming with belief in something more.  We are physical expressions of life; divine, unquenchable lights.

There will always be another dimension and plenty more yellow bricks on this road - because we put them there.  They are out there, just beyond our next step.  When we wake up tomorrow and observe our neighborhood, our neighbors and take stock of where we are right now, we can relax and trust that we are on that road to awakening right now.  There is no place else to be.  If there is a time to physically move, your internal navigation system will direct you and you’ll go.  This is what you came to do.

You are here because of your drive, your thirst for expansion, capacity for love and powerful desire for expression.  You came to show us the way.

We know who you are and it is not your age, social status, outfit, bank account or even your name – you are love.  You are the light within which we can recognize our own light; a candle so brilliant you illuminate us all. Our road to the next dimension is easier to see now; your brilliance makes it so.

This ground beneath your feet today is the only place your feet need be – ascension is happening precisely where you are.  Notice this place; absorb every detail, for these are the chapters in your story, “Beyond the Yellow Brick Road, Nothing but Rainbows”.

It promises to be a great read. You are the one we’ve been waiting for!
