REVISITING THE YEAR 2020 - PAT ANTONIAK
I was taking a walk down Memory Lane and came upon the handout we used for our 20:20 Vision in 2020 seminar. Knowing now what we know about the unfolding of that year and those that followed, I was curious to see what we spoke of and what was our theme.  Here is how we introduced the seminar:

“Astrologically, 2020 is a powerful year with some of the most life-changing and transformative aspects seen in a very long time.  All of us are being guided to bring closure to karmic lessons and open new doors.  The opportunities for growth are HUGE.  The Key to Change is Awareness.  What is calling you?  What is holding you back?  Be the Change. …  This is a decade for great personal and global growth.  Old belief systems are being challenged and destroyed. making way for new ideas and new solutions.” Marlyna Los, Feng Shui Master

“2020 opens with a rare multi-faceted planetary alignment in Capricorn, the likes we have not seen in 800 years!  Outer planets Jupiter, Saturn and Pluto will complete and launch short-term and long-term cycles.  Capricorn is the archetype of Time and Reality.  Pluto’s transit through this sign swings the wrecking ball on any structure or reality (social, political, economic) that has outworn its purpose.  Marking the beginning of a new decade and a new world era, 2020 is a major reset year for the personal life journey and for the outer reality, too. … The year ahead warehouses several significant bigger picture planetary conjunctions.  It is a year of endings of significance, but more importantly, 2020 marks the threshold of a new reality that will define the shape of things to come for many years to come. … A major chapter in your life is working its way to an end while the next major chapter is already mapping itself out.  Each and all are destined to meet up with radical change on the road ahead – and in the not-too-distant future.  Confront was is necessary, finish it up, choose and do in a self-honouring way and make the wise use of time, resources and assets your top priority.  A step ahead is always the best place to be.  Set yourself up now as best possible and you’ll be better able to weather and harness the changes that lie ahead.” Rose Marcus,  Evolutionary Astrologer

One of the ideas that kept coming up was that we are being guided to bring closure to Karmic Lessons as our Karma is unfolding.  But what does that mean? Karma is the Law of the Spiritual World.  In Hinduism and Buddhism, Karma is the sum of a person’s actions in this and previous states of existence, viewed as their fate in future existences.  We are held responsible for our actions and the intent of our actions.  It is the INTENT of one’s actions that generates/accrues Karma.  Karma is not an instant reward system.  It is a set of values that are meant to teach us all to do better.  The more good people do, the more good will come of it.
The 12 Laws of Karma
  1. The Great Law – Whatever we put into the Universe will come back to us
  2. The Law of Creation – Life does not happen by itself; we have to make it happen
  3. The Law of Humility – We must accept something before we can change it
  4. The Law of Growth – By changing ourselves, we change our lives
  5. The Law of Responsibility – We are responsible for what happens in our lives
  6. The Law of Connection – The past, the present and the future are all connected
  7. The Law of Focus – We cannot think of two different things at the same time
  8. The Law of Giving and Hospitality – Our behaviour should match our thoughts and actions
  9. The Law of Here and Now – We cannot be present if we are looking backward
  10. The Law of Change – History repeats itself until we learn from it and change our path
  11. The Law of Patience and Reward – The most valuable rewards require patience
  12. The Law of Significance and Inspiration – Rewards are a result of the effort and energy we put into it
Over the years preceding 2020, we were asked to leave behind or discard that which no longer served us physically, emotionally, socially, financially or spiritually, or that which no longer served our Highest Good or that which no longer assisted us in achieving our purpose, dreams and most blessed life.  If the inner work was done in those preceding years, we were now able to have more clarity and certainty about who and what we really want and don’t want in our lives.  This was a point upon which a new way of being could begin.
Fact of Living:  Change happens whether we are willing participants or not!
Our choices were clear:
  • We can decide to embrace change and exchange our feeling of fear into a feeling of excitement
  • We can remain fearful of change and then feel powerless and/or victimized when changes are happening all around us and to us
  • We can resist change and find ourselves in a state of constant stress about our lives
  • We can over-think our situation to the point of making no decisions or taking no action; this has been dubbed, “Analysis Paralysis” by Colette Baron-Reid.

What we didn’t know at that time was in a few months the world would be topsy-turvy from a virus scare that shut down the world as we knew it!  It has taken years to get back to some level of comfort and normalcy.  We have more understanding of what actually was taking place behind the scene at that time (can you say politics, media and billionaires?) and what narrative we were being given. Yet, the personal work we set out to do for ourselves before all this occurred was and still is relevant!

Manifesting dreams and miracles start with: Stop; Reflect; Set an Intention The clearer this Intention, the more likely it is to come true.  Successful people don’t start with How it will be done.  They first decide What it is they want to create. What is the dream? What does it look like?  What does it feel like? The How comes later!

Second step is to write down all that you will accomplish in the next 12 months. Think of this as a commitment contract with yourself. Then make Plans on how to put things into action. The more action you put towards your accomplishments and intention, the more likely you will realize your dream.  Remember that Life throws us curve balls, so be Flexible in your Action Plan. Pivot when required!

Third Step points to Inner Work required for dreams to manifest. Changing personal Core Beliefs that block our success can be dealt with using:

    • Awareness to identify the negative core belief
    • Re-framing it from a negative into a positive belief, (ie Your Truth) then
    • Integrating this positive belief as your new Core Belief
    • Working from this new Core Belief draws you closer to making your dream a reality

Remember:  We manifest what we BELIEVE, not what we WANT  

A final point: Elevate your personal vibration to its highest level. Avoiding toxic people and situations, letting go of your past, forgiving yourself and others, connecting to your Higher Self are ways that will reprogram your Mind and set your vibration higher.  If that sounds too complicated, here is a simpler way. Every day, connect with yourself and others from a place of Love, Peace, Joy and Gratitude as this will automatically raise your personal vibration.

May you find ways of making every day your best day yet!
