It didn't take special psychic powers to see the wave of fear that went around the world on, what was it?, Saturday. A new variant.
Oh, dear friends. What to say about this? I think we are at a moment when two major things are converging.
I think poor old Mother Earth, who up until now has tried to absorb all of humankind's arguable missteps -- pollution (earth, air, water, space), paving of wetlands, felling of forests, shedding of blood, and much more -- just simply can absorb no more. It's like a sponge soaking up water. There is a point where no more can be taken in. So there is going to be a faster revolving door between our actions and what comes back to us, both positive and negative.
Then, as I've said before, I think we are in a transitional phase from a duality-driven world to a more unified one. Actually, I'm liking the word "harmonic" better today. Maybe we are finally entering "The Age of Aquarius", 55 years or so after the song was written. "Harmony and understanding...", eh? We may be more "in harmony" with this virus than we think. It may be less scary than we think. Time will tell. But the word "transition" is important. Humanity has never been able to turn on a dime, and with old paradigms dying out and new ones being born, this is going to be quite the decade or two or three. Or more...
For the record, I have had vaccinations and booster, and believe that's important right now. So are masks (as much as I hate them) and sensible measures being suggested or required. But equally important is our inner health. Anger and fear may do as much to lower resistance as any virus.
This isn't a moment when superficial waves of "happiness" or "fun" will effect change. Those of us who can, simply have to dig really deep, stay calm, stay centered, accept emerging changes, and be as consistently loving as we can be. No one is being punished here. It may be hard to feel it, but love is all around us as we undertake this steep learning curve. We have no choice but to move away from "ways of being" that are not sustainable to "ways of being" that are sustainable, if this planet is to remain a viable home. As hard as it is to see beyond the waves of fear, there is a bigger picture to focus on, if we can get the water out of our eyes.
