There is no better path through life than a path of heart, a path that puts all of life experiences in the category of teaching moments, where everything becomes a learning experience, teaching you how to grow and evolve, how to become more loving and kind, how to get over your self-importance and to understand that your own trials are not meant to captivate you but to catapult you. Learn to navigate life so that it catapults you forward, engages you in spirit evolution, and teaches you the compassion that naturally guides one along on a path of heart.
Turn always to the steadiness of your own heart’s knowing and rather than get drawn outward to engage in the trials and tribulations of the world, big and small, rest in the calm knowing of your spirit’s intent, which is always evolution. Be like nature in the way she proceeds onward without pause, as day turns to night, as the oceans ebb and flow, as the wind continues around the planet and as the Earth itself makes its shifts, great and small. Go with the flow, and without dispute remain always heart-centered and loving, no matter the storms that rage.
What is the spiritual purpose of the coronavirus? We ask this question as a new variant, given the name of the Greek letter, Omicron, descends upon us.
Spirit is the purest, most rarified subtle energy intent behind physical reality. Spirit intent is encoded in DNA and in the subconscious programs that attract and solidify energy into the physical forms that we are and know ourselves to be.
Nothing exists that is not, at its most subtle core, spirit. Spirit is housed in the subtle body called the soul, just as the soul inhabits the physical body during its earthly sojourn. As one spiritually progresses, one’s consciousness lives in evermore subtle bodies of spirit.
Spiritual evolution is accomplished through the successful passing of tests at various soul body stages. While in human form the soul body is symbiotically attached to the physical body, thus much of the spiritual tests in human form occur in relation to the physical plane. Someone may have to deal with a debilitating illness; someone else may have to overcome extreme shyness; someone else may have to confront rejection, abandonment, or deep loss.
The greatest test in human form, however, is to bridge spirit truth with physical life. Spirit truth, first and foremost, knows that everything that exists is part of an indivisible whole. At a physical level, we appear as distinct separate objects; at a spiritual level we are all one.
The spiritual challenge of our time is to raise our consciousness to a higher level of truth and embrace actions that bring our interdependent physical whole into harmony and balance. To accomplish this we must overcome our separatist illusions that deny our deeper spiritual truth of oneness.
While in human form we are all holograms of Gaia, Mother Earth. Our separatist behaviors, which have thrown Gaia into disarray, have been our own process of coming to know ourselves, enacted through a system of differentiation from each other, a necessary developmental step.
However, differentiation is but the prelude to union. That which has been distinguished must find its way back to its wholeness, filled with new knowledge of self, gained through self-exploration. Greater consciousness is then rejoined with its greater wholeness.
The appearance of Omicron is rocking our very fragile sense of freedom and mobility. Something greater is being asked of us than simply a return to normalcy. Yes, we so want our freedoms of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, but we must raise these values to physical expression according to higher spiritual truth.
The freedom to travel and interact with the entire physical world is being transmuted to the spiritual level of truly caring for and loving everyone, and everything, in this world. Accepting physical limitation elevates spiritual connectedness.
Our collective spirit has landed in this physical world to bring the Earth into greater spiritual harmony. Symbiotically, our individual spirits are themselves being raised to higher soul body states, as we pass the tests presented in this physical world.
Progression is the ultimate law of spirit. Astrologically, both Pisces and Aquarius have Omicron stars in their constellations. For Pisces, it’s a big yellow star, for Aquarius a blue one. We have moved now from 2100 years of Pisces domination into the Age of Aquarius.
Pisces represents the goddess and god of love, Aphrodite and Eros, bound together as two fish in the sea, hiding out from the destructive shadow of Typhon, the personification of violent volcanic forces. Love has been safely protected in the time of Pisces but now is being challenged to rise out of the protective sea into the air of greater spiritual realization, into the water jug of Aquarius, the water bearer.
With such exposure, love cannot help but encounter its shadow in Typhon, cruel and power hungry. This is the collective test of our time, to overcome and absorb Typhon through the purest of rarified love.
Fear not this time of testing. Take full advantage of opening to loving all that you hate. Join with the water bearer in raising the spiritual level of self and world. It’s not about seeking love but all about being love. That’s the transformation that our times call for.
When you open your heart to loving, you become a loving being. And when you are love, you become fully available to love as well.
Don’t forget that you are more than you think you are, for you are spirit as well as flesh and able to do all that you imagine spirits can do, to know, to intuit, predict and shape your life. Tap into this natural all-knowing self each day and ask for guidance. You may be surprised at first how you are responded to, but eventually you will come to know this other, sacred self, who only has your best interests in mind and wishes you only marvelous things. It’s not that hard to access this spirit self. Just go to your heart and with innocence ask for help and guidance, and with innocence be open to receive.
Let not your fears rule you but turn to the heart where peace and love reside. Fears have a tendency to spin yarns, tall tales, and leave you in a state of distress or even panic. Let go of fear and embrace the calm knowing that you are a part of something greater than you can imagine and one little fear will never change that. You are on an evolutionary trajectory. Embrace that as you lose your fear and turn to looking forward with an open heart and mind.
