The New World is Your Stage
Why hasn’t anyone given you the script?
For those who have actually asked for what they want, or prayed to “be the change” in this world, well... it’s here. Whether that was 30 years ago or yesterday, we sometimes ask for things and then forget we asked. Humans are kind of funny that way. Or we think it’s going to show up looking like something else... something we’re already familiar with, so we’re not in the frame of mind to embrace something truly new.
If something different or unusual is occurring in your perceptions of yourself and others, make sure you check in with yourself for reminders of those “little” prayers you sent out a while back. The main thrust of this vision is to acknowledge our recent intentions and to show us how our view of reality and identity is changing. For me, these messages come as feeling pictures, and I shall do my best to translate them into words.
Imagine waking up suddenly in the “green room” backstage. First, you might wonder how you got there. You might also wonder what is expected of you as you wait “backstage.” Sure, you’ve done shows before, but wait... something has changed. This time, you have no idea what the program is about, who is present, or what your role is. At this point, you might feel an odd mix of panic and excitement, nausea and glee. Nothing feels the same as before, and yet, if you are completely honest with yourself, you would say you feel more power, more confidence, and more peace within yourself - despite what the evening news says you should feel. What on Earth is happening?
No time for analysis. You’ve just received the knock and your call to the stage. Why hasn’t anyone given you the script? Where will you stand or move on stage? Will you sing that old song... now, what was that old song? The words and the tune are gone. Good god, whatever will they expect of you? The only self you’ve ever known seems to be the self you’ve been. If that self isn’t showing up as before, what happens now?
Indeed.
What happens now?
You tell us.
That’s the change.
The world will change because you are demonstrating the change.
Yes. You are that powerful.
All you have to be is YOU.
It seems the biggest obstacle to achieving all that we choose in our lives is the belief that it is not possible and that, somehow, we don’t have what we need to accomplish it, so why even begin? Now that’s what I call an old script.
Not all of us will respond the same way to these profound shifts in consciousness. Some people may go out onto that stage and freeze because no one is feeding them their lines; no one is telling them what to wear, how to walk, where to sit, how much they’ll be paid, and, more generally, how they fit into the show. Not to worry, though; they will benefit from witnessing another kind of folk who will respond to these changes quite differently.
In the past, this category of people might have been labeled “unusual” and “sensitive” – marked by an overwhelming sense of “not fitting in.” This group will seem to come alive, thrilled by the endless possibilities in what they choose to bring to the stage. They will thrive in this climate of cosmic improvisation. In other words, a sense of relief will come over them, and finally, oh finally, life will begin to make sense. What a concept... permission to be who you really are.
Can you imagine owning newfound power and confidence that flow so naturally that you find yourself enjoying yourself just as much as everyone around you? No rehearsals required.
All of us may walk out onto that stage at some point and hear echoes of all the shows that came before. In a moment of fear or desperation, we may grab onto one of those echoey “loops” and allow ourselves to act out an “old show” – simply because it’s what we’re familiar with. And that’s okay. You’ll catch yourself soon enough.
After a while, it just won’t feel right to you or to those around you to stay stuck in the past. No need to punish or judge yourself for it. It happens. So what? Take your time. You can be comforted by the fact that there truly is enough of an “audience” on this planet now who are always rooting for you to find and be YOU... because after all, they know firsthand that it’s the best and most inspiring show in town.
Be patient with yourself, and know that the cure for anxiety and uncertainty is honesty. Even if you walk out onto that stage and say, “I’m afraid,” or “I honestly don’t know what will come through me,” or “I am open to knowing and expressing this True Self, but I’m not sure how it’s done,” your willingness to be truthful instantly opens the door for inspiration. And “It” will find entry into your voice, your hands, your legs, your fingers, your heart.
You’ll know what to do, what to say, what to wear – even what to eat. It comes from “IT” – the spontaneous River of Life available to everyone. No more scripts.
So, all of this is to say: don’t be surprised when you finally receive what you’ve asked for. If you’ve asked for “world peace,” you’ll be allowed to demonstrate “peace” on your stage. If you’ve asked for more opportunities to be creative and spontaneous, go right ahead. Show us your originality! If you’ve asked for the chance to be who you really are, why not go out onto that stage and let it happen? Afraid you’ll look like a fool? Get over it. Once you get past the initial jitters, “It” just flows. Any experienced artist will tell you this. So don’t let fear stop you. Imagine how many other people you could inspire to be peace; to be creativity; to be beauty; to be grace; to be honesty; to be love in the world... because that’s what you are. And that’s what I call a heavenly show.
I envision that one day, not too far in the future, we will look back on the “old shows” and find it hard to believe we ever felt trapped into thinking we were anything less than wonderful, powerful, creative, spontaneous, and magical simply by being ourselves. However, I doubt we’ll dwell on it for long. We’ll be too busy enjoying our vibrant presence in the moment.
So I have a series of dreams where I am entering backstage or just in a performance and don't know what the show is or anything and just kind of go along. But something in my body just does the dance or steps in. I have missed cues, and been confused but mainly surprised at how I "know it". These were happening more often two years ago before I returned to the actual stage and doing my art. But anyway I recognize the scenario you're painting very well interesting to think of it as actual life.
