“Your greatness is measured by your horizons.”
– Michelangelo

(This is the second post on Song Living. Here’s the link to the first post: Song Living – Which Change Are You?)

Each and every one of us has unique perspectives on pretty much everything.

The level of clarity of our perspective and its degree of matching reality depends largely on two things:

How many masks we are still enslaved to, and, the degree to which they are controlling our every thought, emotion, action and belief, every aspect of our lives.

Despite what some of us often think of ourselves or others, or both, more and more people are learning more and more about waking up.

Despite all the hardship and insanity going on in the world, humanity has come a long way.

I think we all agree there is still room to expand and grow, but I believe it to be vitally important to recognize and savor the place we have been able to reach.

This has nothing to do with self-aggrandizing.

For one, it’s important for us to be able to shift our attention from the horrors to the beauty since we are creating whatever we think about most of the time.

If your focus is constantly on what you are not, what the world is not, guess what you’re creating?

Look at the world, look at humanity and its level of consciousness.

When Kay studied with Domano and Chea, her adopted Peruvian grandparents, in the 70s the picture of our future looked rather bleak.

Natural disasters, wars, doom and destruction were still very much in our future.

Many of the things which were likely to happen during the time we are in right now didn’t and they didn’t mostly because enough people decided to change.

Some of the things are still happening, because there is still room to grow. The horrors of Japan are a clear and very stark reminder of that.

But, we changed enough to shift things.

If we examine our lives, what are we really able to see?

What were you doing five years ago, ten years ago or even twenty or more years ago?

What did you know about yourself?

What did you know about your Song?

How much of a grip, how much control did your masks have over you, over every aspect of your life?

How deeply asleep have you been and reacting on automatic when your masks where triggered?

To what level where your spirit abilities and gifts developed and your clarity of interaction with the spirit world?

Is it any easier now to accept other people?

Are you judging any less today than you were ten years ago, twenty years ago?

Are you accepting and loving any more than you were?

Look at it, all of it, from a Song perspective and think about how far you’ve come.

Are we perfect yet?

Of course not, none of us are, that’s not the point.

The goal is to wake up, to grow up.

Domano and Chea compared the state of awakeness of humanity with being in nursery school.

You don’t walk out of this kind of nursery school in a day, or a week or a year, but you can learn to walk awake pretty darn well if you keep at it.

And no, it doesn’t have to take lifetime after lifetime after lifetime, until you may, in a small way, finally be considered “worthy”.

So honor yourself for who you are and stop beating yourself up about who you are not yet.

Remember those six little concepts from the last post:

No expectations.
No assumptions.
No blind beliefs.
No jumping to conclusions.
No judgments.
No arrogance.

That goes for yourself too.

“You can’t have a better tomorrow if you’re thinking about yesterday.”
– Charles Kettering

You can’t manifest great horizons for yourself or the world if you’re stuck judging what is.

Love and Song,

Helmut
