Welcome once again to the new dawn that is breaking in the midst of this global pandemic. It is certainly becoming a time to take stock of life, of what is unfolding and adjust to a new reality that is emerging in our midst. Today we are going to discuss mastery in the face of adversity as we- the collective population of the Earth, pass through this difficult transformation to emerge more of who we truly are and less of what we never were. It is a time of shedding illusions and moving into Truth.
As of this publication (mid-July 2020) we are 4 months into this pandemic. Much of the planet is still gripped in a state of reduced circumstances: less economic activity, almost no global travel, many sickened by Covid and many deaths worldwide. Like all things, virus' included, this too shall pass away. With continued efforts by many it will be reduced and it will eventually be eliminated from day to day life. In it's wake our course of life as individuals and nations will be altered permanently, and that is a good thing.
Up until now all of us have taken life for granted, that we could do just about anything when we wanted, anytime we wanted. Now we have taken a pause from that and it is a time of slowing down, a perfect time to reflect and re-adjust our course. If you are strongly tied to going back to the way things were up until earlier this year you might have a much harder time adjusting to the new reality beginning to open. It is not just about this virus and its aftermath, it is about moving into a greater recognition of who we are in these bodies and what we are choosing to do, and now choosing to move into a greater sense of balance as we each choose to create going forward. Life must now recognize and honor its deeper purpose and not remain only in a superficial state of expression. It is time to graduate to the next steps on our collective journey. It is the reason you and I are here now - to experience this directly and support it through our own choices.
Why is there so much fear and confusion about this? Well, there has always been fear, it is just that we are seeing it so much more clearly now as this pandemic has brought everyone's focus onto the present moment. The virus is feared because it is unseen, yet still felt by all. Even if we are not directly affected by it we are still needing to take precautions as not to expose ourselves to something that could negatively impact our bodies and our lives. Many continue to live in denial yet as of this writing over 500,000 people worldwide have lost their lives to this disease, and before it is declared over many more will also be departing this earth. Their lives were not lost in vain, for they will also be assisting all those who remain from their side of the veil. The focus is on transformation of the human experience on this plane of reality and it will continue as it has been mandated that humanity must progress to its next step of evolution, which is an evolution of conscious realization put into action.
The 3 approaches
There are three approaches people are taking right now to this pandemic:
1) Argue successfully for their limitations. They believe that they cannot change, or will not change their behaviors. They are in the greatest fear, for they believe by staying in fear they can be safe and protected from a negative outcome happening in their lives.
2) Focus energy to alter the results (F.E.A.R.) In this approach the person acknowledges that there is fear present, and instead of being overwhelmed by fear they instead use the energy behind the fear to alter their condition. For example, fear is instead replaced by prudence, such as wearing a mask in public, following social distancing, washing hands, etc. They may still feel encumbered by these new behaviors but by using the energy of fear they can create a space of relative comfort for themselves and loved ones.
3) Hybrid- The individual may not be able to completely exorcise fear/fearful thoughts so they create a hybrid approach of combining parts of the first two approaches to arrive at a third place- A place of beginning.
Each of these approaches are taken of one's own free will/free choice. If one is having love for their life and wishes to continue it they will make the choice to do what is necessary to remain. Those who have a reduced power of choice due to already being ill may make a different choice, guided in part by their own higher self into a different outcome. Who I am speaking to is those who have a relatively sound mind and body and can make a choice for themselves. Now let's examine the four choices that can occur.
The 4 choices
All human beings now have been brought to attention by this pandemic. It is an event that has impacted every being to their core, and that core is their breath, the means by which they can remain. We can remain for long periods without food and water, but without breath we cannot last but several minutes. This is why this situation is so impactful. We know that we need our breath! Here are the four choices that humans are now making:
1) Last breath. Covid is providing the opportunity for humans who do not wish to stay to move out of their bodies with this disease. If you understand that in our essence we are spiritual beings having a human experience then this is a less distressing proposition. If one is deeply tied to the body then this is probably a horrifying outcome.
2) First breath to staying on the planet. For those in this category, they have been directly impacted by Covid and have recovered. Even if they have not recovered fully, they are still here. They are able to act and make choices for themselves, re-committing themselves to remaining. There are currently millions of people in this category. It is good to still have them, if you know any personally, love and support them for what they've been through.
3) Those who are living in the question and waiting to understand. This group is probably the largest in number. They have not been directly impacted and are trying to understand what is happening, attempting to make sense of the world they are now living in. Many in this group remain in fear and are looking for fault, for someone to blame, or are fanning the fires of conspiracies. These are among the most often seen in social life/media. Their belief systems are not keeping them safe and they are looking for a way to move forward yet are hampered by circumstances of life that do not allow them to continue in the way they were. They may not be in denial of the present reality completely but are looking for structures such as governments or religions to give them support.
4) These are people who have decided that it's always about moving on. They recognize that this situation is not about controlling people and they have accepted the reality of living in this circumstance. They aren't exempt from the other three possibilities, but through their choice to address life in these circumstances with prudence, which is not fear. These people live in the higher frequency of l.o.v.e. (vibrant energy) and are grounded in the unknown of the future. They realize that the unknown isn't to be feared, instead it is full of possibilities for growth and expansion. By protecting their human vehicle and living from vibrant energy, these people can more easily flow with circumstances as they present themselves.
Who are you in this moment? You are always in the position of making a choice, will you choose for your best if you are willing to see fear as a tool to assist you. Those who stay in fear, which is also a choice, may not emerge from their dwellings for years after the majority have returned to normality. The point of these approaches and choices is for you to take a look at where you are at, and decide if that is consciously where you wish to be.
The road ahead
Many of us had hoped that a two or three month quarantine would have brought this event to a conclusion. In a number of countries this has been the case to a great extent. In the U.S. it instead has proven to be a greater task due to the inconsistencies of getting 330 million people to voluntarily comply with quarantine restrictions. This is resulting in a resurgence of cases and increases in hospitalizations and deaths. There will be continued debate over how to mitigate the economic damage of not allowing large group gatherings - whether business or social for most of the rest of 2020 and into the following year. There is still a large drop in production and consumption of goods and services and large scale unemployment, not only in the U.S. but around the world. It can be likened to a severe pruning back of a shrub. You don't kill the shrub, but trim off the dead branches or those that are growing out of shape so that new growth can re-emerge in a better way.
Expect to be attending to some version of this current reality for another 18-20 months. This means that many will have to adjust their expectations in order to pass comfortably through this period and things will then begin to stabilize by 2022. Be willing to embrace the unknown, we are in the pruning phase and it will be uncomfortable for many. There is a great leveling happening in humanity and we will have work to do. All are dearly loved by spirit and encouraged to meditate and think about if what you are now doing really best represents what you want to be doing. Those who take the risks to align to their heart's desires in an authentic way will find many opportunities once the veritable "dust" has settled from this crisis. Some will choose to replicate the old and many will choose to create anew, bringing fresh perspectives and products to the marketplace of humanity that will actually serve people. It is a time of clearing out the old so that those things needed by humanity can be lifted to their higher expression- new forms of existing ideas as well as completely new ideas.
The key is to stay in love (living on vibrant energy), stay out of fear and keep moving on. G-d did not put you or I here to struggle and suffer, but to learn and grow in l.o.v.e. using our free choice and free will. The problems presented by Covid and any other challenges humanity will face cannot be solved at the level they were created at. They must be solved by choosing to align to the higher truth of who and what we are. For many, even just knowing that there is a possibility of this that is attainable is a big step. There will continue to be much arguing for limitations by many, and that does not have to stop free thinking and loving beings from creating anew within the current reality. Change is constant on Earth, and events are moving at a faster pace than ever before so always first trust the quiet, wise voice within you to guide you. Pay attention to how often the small self (ego) is running the show of your life. It does not have to be that way any longer. It is time to put the small self in the backseat and let one's Higher self do the driving. It will take a leap of faith in most instances but would you rather believe in your smallness or your greatness as a being?
Mastering choice in turbulent times
A person who is a master of their reality never sees themselves as a victim in any form. She realizes that her life is her creation and she strives to live in harmony and in love with life, no matter what the circumstances. While we are in the midst of great turmoil and challenges there are many tests along the way. If we take a moment to reflect throughout our day, we can easily see if we are allowing fear to creep into our lives, or are we radiating a feeling of happiness or even joy. It is not a time to lose one's sense of humor of the folly of being human and the blessings of it as well. Checking in with your feeling state and be willing to adjust your course towards what you want for yourself is so important right now. The mental and emotional challenges of living in this environment are pushing many to the edge of their capacity to function as normal rational adults. Understand that you must help yourself first before attempting to help another, and be wary of feeling a need to "rescue" anyone from their challenges, unless they are in imminent danger of harm. We do not know what our brothers and sisters on this journey have "signed up for" as experiences, and sometimes it is very difficult to witness where many people are heading. The best way to help another is to lead by your own example. Your own balanced, peaceful countenance will literally radiate to others around you and they will start asking you how you are managing things. This is how to create peace. Not by lecturing, not by trying to sway someone's beliefs, not by negative reinforcement, as tempting as it may be to practice these things. Remember, these are the old ways. It's time to use our energy and presence to make available to others a resonant field that they can sense at a subtle level. Can you imagine the feeling it would be to have 1000 people in this state walking through your neighborhood? To me it feels much better than the same group being angry and destroying things, correct? So it is not just about keeping the peace and fighting off those who are angry and acting out. It is about creating people who will stand in their own space of l.o.v.e. and responding to that.
There are practical considerations for mastering living during this period. I will go into this area more in a follow up article that I plan on creating shortly. As I have said for years in previous posts " less stuff, more living on vibrant energy". That is it in short. The simpler you make your daily life, the easier it will be to pass through this period. Anyone can agree that we currently exist in times of great uncertainty, and being flexible like a tree that will bend in the wind instead of breaking is the way to be. As a global society we have over-complicated living to the point where now a re-adjustment on a planetary level is needed. What has occurred up to this point is unsustainable, because it has been based on a lower frequency of energy that is no longer supported. We as the human race are now waking up to a new paradigm, a new reality and new ways of being. Superficial changes won't be enough. This period will test one's character in ways that will summon new awareness and abilities to the surface for all, if they step out of fear.
I leave you with a blessing of love and light. You are here in this time because you wanted to be here. Remember who you really are and rest in the knowing that you are making a difference as you choose love for yourself without hesitation and you begin to say goodbye to fear. It will likely not happen all at once but as long as you can remind yourself of your innate goodness and connection to G-d, All that is, or however you name it, you will be in peace and service to all you may come into contact with.
Until next time..
