Leonard Cohen’s song is reminding us that everything is as it should be:

How the Light Gets In

Ring the bells that still can ring

Forget your perfect offering

There is a crack in everything

That’s how the light gets in

This is the second time I have used this title and song, so I have named this post II to differentiate. 

Each step of ascension includes something breaking down in the old so that something can be birthed of the new world.  Sometimes these old-world malfunctions are small enough we hardly notice, and the transition is smooth.  And sometimes it seems like our world is falling apart.  Either way, there is something beautiful, stronger, easier, better, and more whole that is ready to step in to fill the gap.

I like the word ‘crack’ that Leonard uses, it is such a good description of how things appear with my spiritual vision when I look at the old world.  I see the old as a dark-hard layer over the light of our true selves within.  This reminds me a bit of the hard outer shell of a seed that softens in the moist ground until it cracks open because the light of the growing seed within.  Our own change is like that.  Our growing light within causes the old to crack so we can emerge into the new world.

From a normal human point of view these ‘cracks’ seem to be problems…situations in our bodies, souls or lives which simply won’t resolve through our outer effort to get things right, to make them work, to bring our world into a saner place.  The old world is malfunctioning for a greater good and will not be fixed that way. Wherever there is a lack or a malfunction, that is where the new world can be born.

Rather than trying to hold the old together when you see a crack, invite the new world to birth what is better to enter and manifest there.  You don’t know yet what that will be, but you can trust it, just as you trust that little seed to germinate and grow into its true potential.  Our bodies, souls and our world will grow into our true potential as well.

Imagine a plant dropping its perfect seeds on the ground.  Then seeing its beautiful form begin to decay and the shell crack open it is upset at the loss of that earlier form.  But then it begins to sprout into something unknown and it doesn’t recognize that is its own true form emerging.  But plants understand that their seeds are a temporary form that will have to change in order to bear the fruit of their potential.  They don’t resist that change.

Our lives and world are only seeds that are finally beginning to sprout into something better and more fruitful.  Resisting that transformation is pointless.  It is happening.  We have to let the old husk crack open so the new can be born and reveal our true potential within.  During ascension everything has to crack and grow and then crack again and grow some more.  We have to learn to accept and flow with this process and not to resist it, though it may feel scary to us.

The slow process of change is necessary because otherwise we would just lose everything we know.  This way we can adjust to the partially new state before the next new level is ready to grow.  If you think about the way the world has been changing you will see this.  It is especially evident over the recent decade but looking back to the beginning of the 20^th century you can see many stages of this, and it has been picking up speed since then.  Each shift has been necessary to bring us to where we are now. Though the birthing of the new world may seem slow, the cracking of the old seems impossibly fast and comprehensive lately.  Trust this, it’s all happening for the greater good.

Resisting change perpetuates the old-world problems.  Let things crack and rather than focusing on the crack, welcome the light that can now enter our world.  Prepare to be blessed by the new world which will grow stronger as a result.

As Leonard Cohen said, it’s hard to be perfect when there is a crack in everything, don’t try.  Find within you a calm center and respond as needed with love and compassion for yourself and all creation which is struggling to function as everything shifts.
