Thank you for the awesome article, Open. Truth! What a sublime feeling it is to act on what the heart loves, uplifted on the wings of angels, propelled by an army of benevolence, flowing with a sense of divine rightness, co-creating the miraculous!

Success and fulfillment truly stem from aligning with the passion of one's soul, what makes one feel fully alive, so completely present that time simply disappears.

These days my passion is supporting affordable housing initiatives. Lack of affordable housing is now a worldwide crisis. Homelessness is on the rise. Secure shelter is no longer a right. My daughter's generation is finding it harder and harder to find affordable housing. Some of her friends have been evicted so landlords can double the rents. I live in a housing cooperative where we own shares in the building. We have a diverse group of members with different income levels, colours, creeds, religions/no religions, sexual orientation, able bodied and disabled. We currently have government funding for those who need subsidies to manage housing charges, but future funding is uncertain, at present. So many are rising up and speaking out because of this. I'm on board. I am the Membership Director of my housing cooperative and am inundated with calls when units become available. I long to house everyone who needs a home. Will we all be refugees one day as the greed and exploitation of the wealthy continue to gouge the middle class and poor? Whatever may come, I'm committed to the new creations and innovations that want to flow. I'm all in physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually.

And as I'm caught up in acting on my passion, I am confronting all those inner contractions that want to expand out into the cosmos. Surrendering with trust and letting it be when that feels right. Standing my ground and asserting my warrior will when that feels right. Refining my ray 4 diplomatic skills to bring others together with a mighty force for change. Witnessing when my ego kicks in and I want to withdraw and feel offended, left out, banished, abandoned. Finding the light beyond my small self and getting back in the game. One for all and all for One.

My daughter and son's generation ridicule New Age followers and view them as a bunch of privileged folks -- often white and financially solvent -- who have distanced themselves from the grim reality that is unfolding before them in every societal sector. Ensconced in a bubble of bliss and denial. Very disillusioning for them.

Yes to being and doing. Yes to surrendering whilst honouring warrior will to act on what feels right and aligned.
