This week, listening to All Things Considered, I got the feeling society was running amok. The energetic changes that have been percolating for several decades and have more recently been presenting themselves in the form of loss of our comfortable way of thinking, has left us feeling fatigued and full of fear and confusion.
It is difficult to keep in mind how our efforts began in the higher vibrations of the realm of Spirit and have moved down through the lower vibrations of emotions and thought and have finally reached the realm of the physical. This is why we are so weary. It is sometimes easier to want to walk away from what is happening because things have gotten too difficult and challenging on the physical plane.
It is easy to go into doubt now and become overcome by fear. There are many people who are seeking a return to old times and old ways. It is easy to want to seek the comfort of the way it used to be. As the times and things seem "heavier", matters and events take on weightier importance. It is normal to feel this and doubt it will ever change.
What we may have forgotten is the role of Spirit. It is important to ask ourselves during this time when our attention in being drawn toward the physical and our deepest basic survival issues are up for examination: what place does Spirit still have in my life?
When the desire for the safety of the old arises inside or outside us, it is important to remind ourselves that there is no need for a system of beliefs where Spirit is concerned. We couldn't structure Spirit if we wanted to. Why not approach life with open eyes and acceptance of what is? Why not remember that we are manifesting beings and that we have chosen this time and its difficulties, and have all the resources we need?
It is important to get some perspective on the changes around us. As difficult as some aspects of life are, remember those things that are easier now than they were before. Things like communication and computers connecting us globally are examples of the progress that has been made.
It is good to recognize that we have the ability to join with these gravitational energies that are approaching us now and to prepare for a different way of life. This outlook can only be achieved by looking at the situation from the vantage point of Spirit, letting loose of the old ways and ideas and continuing to reach ahead with our emotions and thoughts.
We need, more than ever, to imagine peace and harmony. Our ability and willingness to imagine these things is vital. It is easy to get hung up on the details and explanations. Don't you get the feeling, though, that the future will be far different from what you can imagine anyway?
From the perspective of Spirit, we are deep in the waves of energy of a movement toward harmony and balance. The achievement of these is accomplished through the action of love for one another--whether you agree with each other or not. It is also reached through those feelings that grow from graditude and awareness.
In the pursuit of harmony, there is no one element that is more important that another. All the elements act together to create harmony. Through the eyes of Spirit, the element we have chosen is the action of peace.
Striving for the old ways dissipates the energy of peace. Now is the time to practice our Spiritual awareness and visualize peace whenever possible. It is important to begin the creation of peace within your own life and believe in the power of it now.
Whenever I sense society being out of control and it triggers my own fears, it is comforting to know I have something I can do that will bring me balance and peace. It could even potentially help hold the new energy steady for humanity. I do not believe this is an egocentric illusion. I feel it is a Spiritual practice that can build, one person at a time.
