Once upon a time, the love generation taught that love was greater than war, that the power of love could conquer anything, that love could save the world. That generation was right, and they are still right. Keep their wisdom and vision alive in you every day, reminding yourself that love is still the greatest power there is.
Underneath the volatile energy, that has overtaken many leaders in the world, is another energy, the individual hunger for power of each of those leaders. Their collective hunger for power is what is driving the world quite crazy right now. That power drive, driven by greed and need and ideology, is being allowed to run rampant. There are no adults in the houses of the powerful and thus no adult has control, no wise person has the ears of those power-hungry entities. Until the power hungry are out of office things will continue to ramp up, for that is how they attract energy to themselves, through feeding off the frenzy of sorrow, anger and fear. They are like wild beasts, the smell of blood fueling their desires, their hearts blackened, cut off and silenced by the hardness of their ways. They have forgotten how to be grateful, but you have not, and you already know that at some point things will change and the heart-centered will return to power. Until then, keep your own hearts alive and well with acts of loving kindness and compassion for all you share the planet with, even those who destroy and wreak havoc, for they are most in need of it.
Before you jump to conclusions take a moment to think, to feel, and to ask your heart to guide you. Before you decide to say something, decide first to take a moment’s pause. Take a breath, and then another, and let your mind be quiet and your heart be still. In the quiet of your inner self, where you already know how to make a peacefulness that is deep and wide, ask for guidance, for your Higher Self, or some other guide or teacher, to show you what you are missing. For it is often in discovering what you are not seeing that you will see what you have been missing, and it might just be the answer you have been searching for. A moment or two of inner quiet may be all you need to really make a difference.
There is no telling what the outcome of events will be, but we can tell you, from our perspective on the other side of life as you know it, that choices do matter. Take time to sit and contemplate the outcome of decisions, to envision what is needed that is best for the greater whole, and then what is needed to act upon that vision. To act on the decision that will be for the greatest good is to be in alignment with something outside of the self, outside of and beyond the ego self. To make decisions based on the filter of the heart is the best method of achieving goals and outcomes that will serve the many, rather than decisions based on the desires and needs of the few, which will, in the end, only serve the few.
Notice your mood upon awakening. If you are not feeling grounded, calm and centered then it might be time to reset yourself with some positive activity that will immediately shift you into a better state of mind. For it is not helpful to the world’s energy if your own energy is not on the up-and-up, if it is not optimistic, open, loving, kind and compassionate. If your own energy is depleted you can expect to be met only by depleted energy as well. Find your own proven method of shift that you can immediately rely upon if you wake up in a negative mood, full of self-pity, or lacking in focus. Use your method as often as is necessary so that you are a contributor to good energy and not a drain on it. It may be the most important thing you can do to help the world at this time.
