\"\"<\/a>From Mike Dooley’s Notes From The Universe<\/strong>:\u00a0 \u201cDo you know what happens the instant I become a brand new \u201csomeone\u201d?\u00a0 You know, the moment I begin to play, grow, and become more than I was, within the jungles of time and space? I feel alone, disconnected, like I\u2019m missing something. Even though I\u2019m none of those things.\u00a0 And neither are you.<\/span>\u201d <\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

At Unity of Melbourne<\/strong> today, Rev, Beth Head<\/strong> talked about allowing ourselves to get potbound, and how fragile we can feel as we are moving from one pot to another.\u00a0 How precarious it can feel as our roots dangle openly in the air and we long to be once again contained in the security of a pot.\u00a0 Just like Mike Dooley<\/strong> wrote up there, \u201cfeeling alone, disconnected, like we\u2019re missing something<\/span><\/em>.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

So now\u00a0 I am freeing my pot-bound self. My roots have dangled scarily free and now it’s time for the new pot. Am I ready?<\/span><\/p>\n

Or h<\/span>ave I just become aware of how I have grown to fit my little pond?\u00a0 Is it necessary to jump into a bigger pond in order to grow beyond where I am now?\u00a0 Or is it enough to simply expand my perception of where I am now, in order to have the expanded experience of where I am now?<\/span><\/p>\n

So I\u2019ve been entertaining the idea of stepping into a bigger pond.\u00a0 I thought one step would be to begin looking for another home on a few private wooded acres.\u00a0 I love where I live now but have been thinking about a change.<\/span><\/p>\n

I know from past history that I will expand to fill whatever space I find myself in.\u00a0 Downsizing doesn\u2019t freak me out and expanding doesn\u2019t freak me out.\u00a0 I know I always seem to somehow make it work, and everything always falls into place synchronistically.<\/span><\/p>\n

If I want to be more than I am now, I need to give myself space to do that, and be in a space that allows that.\u00a0 I need to leave a lot of empty, white space for the Universe to delight me with the filling of.\u00a0 And leaving empty white space extends to my mind, as I begin to envision myself in the new space, in the new life.<\/span><\/p>\n

I mean, this life is working well, that\u2019s how I can tell I am ready for an upgrade.\u00a0 I\u2019m too happy and comfortable as things are right now *smile*\u00a0 Isn\u2019t that always how it works?\u00a0 Actually, it is.\u00a0 Because when you\u2019re content, you have no resistance.\u00a0 And when you release resistance: instant manifestation.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

But we have to create the space for it.\u00a0 We have to provide the environment for it.\u00a0 Just like in meditation: we have to quiet our mind to provide an empty environment, so Spirit can impress guidance upon us.<\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019m feeling guided to prepare myself for repotting.\u00a0 I\u2019m ready.<\/span><\/p>\n
