As far as the world’s efforts to calm things down go, we, on this side of the curtain that separates us, find that there is too much focus on differences rather than on what everyone shares. Differences, when pointed out as problems, do not advance any cause, but when differences are pointed out as diversity, offering many unique solutions for the many, then problems should soon resolve. The more ideas and the more perspectives that are taken into account, in any situation, the greater grow the opportunities. There is always a give and take in any resolution but that give and take must occur under the auspices of love, kindness and compassion for all beings if resolution is to be acceptable to the many.
I was struck by an allusion to the current state of the world as Gaia’s late-stage pregnancy, in a podcast with defrocked priest and spiritual master Father Sean O’Laoire. Ten years ago, I co-wrote a blog, with Jan, about the state of the world, suggesting then that Gaia was in the early stages of Her pregnancy and that we, as a human race, were best served by the utter stillness of patient waiting.
Father Sean, fully acknowledging Gaia as the feminine face of God, speaks to Her matured state of pregnancy now. The guidance continues to be one of continued patience, but also one of attunement to Her real contractions.
Gaia’s contractions are Divine actions that will bring forth new life. Gaia can be likened to the High Self, the Divine spark in the human personality. When the call for action issues from the dimension of the High Self, it represents the truth of the heart and signals that it is indeed time for the ego to join with the High Self in a mighty push to bring forth new life.
The challenge for the ego is to distinguish the true High Self from the false gods that preach their wares. These can take the form of powerful emotions that demand retribution. If action is motivated by less than love it is simply not right action. Act only from love. Even powerful reactions of self-defense should issue from love alone—love for all thy neighbors.
Actions that issue from the mental plane are equally suspect if they are not in alignment with Gaia’s contractions. If we push without nature’s affirmation we act from our own free will, but we may not be aware that we are under the sway of our own shadow, or the manipulative suggestions of others.
How often when in the grip of desire or inspiration do we get calm and ask the heart, “Is this the right thing to do?” If the heart answers, “Yes,” and Gaia’s Nature responds with synchronistic affirmation, then it truly is time to push, to take action. Nonetheless, the ego must assume sole responsibility for its decision.
Free will should only acquiesce if it knows it is right to do so. It is not right to act if we are truly uncertain. Sometimes we have to go it completely alone. Such is the trial of human existence.
The quickening of events in outer reality now are hastening the breakdown of the world as we knew it. What I labelled a miscarriage, in our blog ten years ago, has proven to be an enduring, disintegrative phenomenon that America and the world were destined to experience.
The karma of America’s shadow has come home to roost. World leadership has fallen from high ideal and devolved into ugly meanness. In full transparency, and with heated passion, America is now living out its shadow of entitlement and primitive instinct.
Tragic as the consequences of this breakdown are, they are truly necessary. Unless we openly encounter the full breadth of our shadow we won’t find our way to responsibly act from the light of truth. As Socrates stated, “The unexamined life is not worth living.”
Nonetheless, there are many entities in this world, and beyond, that luxuriate in the suffering of others. I encourage that we use these petty tyrants as opportunities to lose our self-importance so that we may be fully energetically available to parent the coming New Age of spiritual advancement.
The wars and battles of now are materialist last stands of souls competing for world dominance. They are powerful and destructive, but they serve the completing of karma from human history. The human race must reconcile with its shadow before it can truly be born as an awake spiritual being.
I have written many times that responsible use of the subconscious mind is the spiritual awakening that is heralding the birth of the New Age. This awakening is intimately associated with Gaia, as it is only She who can create that which we intend to manifest.
The true warriorhood of now is to fully reclaim and refine the masculine side of God, that which plants the seeds of suggestion into the subconscious mind.
When those suggestions are for the greater good of all, you can be certain that Gaia will fully contract and bring forth a world powered by love. That’s the contraction to truly push for.
We continue to monitor the happenings on planet Earth with great interest and great hope for a brand new beginning. All beings must get in alignment with the changes. Even those of differing opinions can work together if they stay focused on what is right for the many. Those who stay only focused on what is right for the few will find things more difficult and more contentious. Find the heart-centered point where everyone can work together and things will progress rapidly in a good direction. Do this within yourself as well, for even within the self it is better to be in alignment with what is best for all. If all parts of the self are in agreement with seeking a better balance, then you should have no problem as you set your heart’s intent on progress.
Fully embrace the times you live in, for they are times of great change. Out of stagnation will come the changes that will be long-lasting and energizing in new and exciting ways. With fervent hope in your heart, embrace your own life too as you traverse through the days that are to come. As difficult as they may be, keep always focused on the light that lies ahead, for at the end of every dark period there is light. Such is the Law of Opposites and it is in full action all the time.
Without fail, continue your progress of constant spiritual renewal and centering. Stay in tune with your inner self, your High Self, and your heart centered decision-making center. With such focus and intention, you will begin to see a change come over you and come over your own interactions in the world around you. As you are more kind and loving to yourself, you become more kind and loving to others. As you turn inward to quiet and heart centering, so will others automatically begin to do the same, without even knowing what they are doing or why. If you are calm and quiet then everything in your environment becomes calm and quiet too. Try it and see what really happens, and how much you really do affect your world.
