Welcome!, I’m excited to share my first blog with you. Where shall I begin? I guess I will tell you about how the Occupy Inner Space movement got started. I was driving past an “Occupy Tucson” gathering when I began to think of all the people who are crying out for a more peaceful, sustainable, compassionate world. I remembered the 60s, when thousands of people stood on the white house lawn and sang, “Give peace a chance!” Soon after, the Vietnam War stopped. We felt like our voices were heard. Why do many people now feel they have less power to make change? What can we do to really make a difference? The words dropped into my head; “Occupy Inner Space”. I envisioned a website where people could be inspired to occupy their own Inner Space, to find the power within, and to share their wisdom to inspire others. My favorite motto is “Everything works from the inside out.” * The world is a reflection of our own consciousness. The only way we are going to evolve the world is to evolve ourselves. We have to “be the change we want to see.” * Are we ready to take the responsibility to determine our future and the future of our children? Do we want a world where people care and share, and are willing to do their part to uplift the world? The first question I asked myself was “What can I do? What is my part in creating a better world?” Since I am a writer, here we are, but it takes many of us to really make a difference. What are you inspired to do? What is your passion? What are your gifts and talents? What is your part in this awesome movement to shift this world from one of fear, oppression and lack, to one of love, liberty and abundance? If we are to be the change we want to see, then the first step is to look within, to discover what stories we are telling ourselves that keep us from being an example of love, peace, compassion and joy. Do we look at the news and tell ourselves that “we the people” have no power? Do we condemn the violence in the world, and then fight with our friends, family and coworkers? Do we complain about our government and then cheat, lie and break promises in our own lives? Do we blame others for our problems without taking responsibility for ourselves? If there is to be any positive change in the world, it has to begin with us. Occupying Inner Space is not an easy task. It is an every day commitment to notice when we are aligned with love and when we are not. It requires us to stay in the present moment, and do what we can right now to make a difference. It demands that we question our belief systems to be sure they are true, and notice if they match the values we “say” we aspire to. The way we think and feel creates our reality, so being master of our Inner Space is essential to making our outer world a better place! So how do we learn to occupy our Inner Space?
