At this time a week ago, a huge
storm was taking shape and moving in our direction. This storm had all the
markings of a tropical storm. Unlike a Nor’easter that blows in and blows out,
this storm was a huge spiral of energy that stalled over the East and was
spinning for days and days. The weather deities are different now; there are
different energy fields and different energy forces. These storms are much
larger in magnitude and power. There were many repercussions from the storm;
people lost their homes or had serious damage. Again we ended up in a state of
emergency; that’s now becoming the norm.
When a huge vortex of energy like
this gets created, the psychic energy in the collective gets reflected back to
us. There’s no place for release while this pressure system is sitting on us.
So when this happens, as it will be happening in these times of change, what
you do beforehand, during and after, while people are still adjusting to
everything that has happened, is to become really grounded and still.
In addition to the storm, another
mass shooting happened this week. We must pray for the students, not just the
students who were killed or the perpetrator who was so troubled, but for all of
the young people who are at that really tender age of late teens and early
twenties, trying to find out what they’re doing here and living in a world that
seems really crazy. They have a charge and a purpose, and we want to pray that
they stay connected to their purpose so that they can go forward under the
circumstances that they are given to live with. It’s a very difficult age, and
these young people really have to suffer under great chaos—great, great
chaos—such as we’ve never seen before.
What happened to you during this time? If you became aggressive, if you became
fearful, if you became confused and ungrounded, you were responding to that
energy. When the collective starts to vibrate because of fear, it’s very
important for you to remember what the charge is. The charge is to find the
center that you are and to hold that center, to hold the place that is the
Absolute, and all that is connected to the Absolute.
I felt wild and confused. I had to leave my home because the
road was disintegrating and becoming impassable. Then I heard about the
shooting. In the midst of all this, I was having to attend to multiple details
on my job. I don’t know if I’ve ever felt that kind of wildness in my mind
before.
What you’re talking
about is trying to maintain and control a set schedule, a predetermined way of
having things ordered, when there is no order. These are the times, the winds
of change. You cannot do things the same way. You had certain responsibilities
that were lined up in front of you in the midst of this really weird, chaotic,
destructive time, and you were also trying to bring your consciousness to tend
to life as usual. That is going to be harder and harder to do. We are not going
to shirk any responsibilities, but there will be times when we need to flow
into a different pattern so that we can be supported by guidance and not miss
guidance by overriding our inner knowing with a set idea of how we think things
should look and should go.
So
I could have gone over my road and heard about the shooting, and I undoubtedly
would have felt some spin of that chaotic energy, but I probably could have
gotten out of it faster than I did.
You just very clearly nailed it, and
the heart of it is right there—whether we go into the spin or whether we ground
the spin, no matter where we are; whether we’re guided to be at work or whether
we have to shift to another place because we’re guided to have to change the
schedule. It’s how we work with the
energy.
I had a very different experience with the storm. At no point did
I feel like we were in a crisis. I remember reassuring my partner, “We’re going
to be fine.”
It’s good to be able to
say something like, “We have candles, extra water, and the wood is in the
shed.” But there was a crisis happening, and when there is a crisis happening, we
want to be able to ground the energy by remaining calm in the center and not
adding to the crisis by feeding our fears and going into the spin. We might not
have been in physical threat, but we were in psychic threat; the whole world is
in psychic threat, and the whole world is in a certain level of chaos. If
something is happening over here in the world that we do not know about, it
will still register in us here if it’s destructive and violent because we’re
all connected.
These are changing
times, this is the cycle of where we are in the history of humanity, and we are
going to be undergoing these kinds of changes. We are undergoing these kinds of changes, and we will continue to do
so gracefully with the resonance of light, with the color of light, and with
strength and courage. We know what to do when the going gets tough anywhere
around us. Anywhere, and for anyone, we know what to do. We go into the
resonance, and we send light; we fill
ourselves with it, and we send it out. We dwell in that place, and you can be
anywhere and you can be doing anything that you need to be doing, in order to
do that. If there’s one word to take away from today, it’s “Remember.”
Remember to consciously
breathe in and out, often and deeply with the Golden Circle breath, and remember to
align yourself and your heartbeat with the resonance of the Stillpoint.
Remember to do this through prayers, conscious breathing, meditations, and
chants and songs. Also, remember we can work relentlessly and effortlessly at
the same time to bestow this gift to the children and to the plants and to the
animals and to the Earth Mother, and we can do so with simplicity and humility.
Remember, in times that are changing, to be flexible and beautiful.
