Get your love energy going, the energy of your heart for all beings, the energy that permeates all structures, that scales all walls, that lies down upon the hard-hearted and softens them, that flows with all other energy and brings it alive, communicating that love is the answer. Let love stir in you and then send it on its way to others, even to those you do not know and never will, and it will return to you a hundredfold. Be loving. It’s all that’s really needed. Love is the answer.
When we can absorb no more we reach a state of saturation where we essentially shut down, functioning on a kind of autopilot. This trancelike fugue state is prized in shamanic training where a practitioner is inundated with unexpected events to the point of saturation. This saturation defeats the ego’s ability to maintain its sense of normalcy and control. Deprived of its familiar fixation on order and predictability the practitioner’s awareness becomes pliable and open to new possibilities. Such are the conditions for all Earth inhabitants at present. Who knows what will happen today?
Our planet Earth, Gaia, is in her own process of becoming pliable and opening to new possibilities. We are currently being saturated with the effects of her labor through an escalation of fire, wind, water and earth upheavals. As Mother Earth rejects the burgeoning impact of the human species upon her body so does her human cohort, woman, challenge the practices of how mankind goes about spreading its seed.
We are currently saturated with the wildfires of Amazon Woman turning to ashes the careers of the sexually abusive power elite. Indeed there are innocent casualties in this massive conflagration but, as with Mother Earth herself, a saturation of destruction is the necessary prelude to major reformation. Humankind must integrate its sexual instinct in a new, more balanced, compatible way. The time of unchecked sexually abusive behavior upheld by the silent collusion of woman is coming to an end.
In the world of governance we are saturated daily with radical shifts that evoke terror, deep insecurity, and panic. The calming father leader has been replaced by the wrathful Yahweh type, replete with emotional tirades and vindictiveness.
This same wave of incessant storm issues equally from Nature, MeToo, and leaders of governance. The common feature of all of these eruptions is saturation. We find ourselves confounded in our inability to absorb anymore. As with shamanic training our traditional hold on reality is being loosened. We are all being made pliable and open to new possibilities.
These possibilities include a reshaped Earth, a vastly different relation between the sexes and with the sexual instinct itself, and a governance far more acquiescent to the true needs of the planet. I caution getting too attached to the radical shifts being proposed and enacted by governance now. The greater intent behind this cascade of events is a loosening of our fixation on a world without change, the preparation stage for major transformation.
Onslaughts of saturation generate reactions of protest, numbing and dissociated indifference, until we arrive at the place of letting go of control, what the shamans call the place of no pity. From this position new worlds of possibility open to us as our allegiance to upholding old beliefs and attachments loosens.
Beyond the current fog of illusion driven by the saturation of fake news lies a world of transparency and acquiescence to the true needs of the planet. As we travel through the turbulence of these saturated times we do well to shield our light in the inner recess of the heart. All that is happening now is transient.
This time of saturation is the preparation or breakdown phase of major transformation. We do best, like Old Testament Job, to bear with patience the extremes of these times. Nothing can take away the sanctity of the self if we refuse the call to spend our energy attaching to half-baked solutions that avoid the fullness of real resolution.
Real resolution, post-saturation, is the birth of a new possibility. Imagine, for instance, a world where love and sex find their enduring union. Everything is possible.
You may have attained some wisdom. You may have attained a certain age and had certain experiences and feel entitled to express what you have learned, to teach others the ways of life, but in the end a wise person knows that you cannot teach the lessons of life, for they must be learned firsthand. And so, though a wise person may speak of what has made them wise, a wise person also says to others, “Go live! Experience what it means to be alive. Life is all about becoming wise in your own way, through your own life experiences. Go learn how to live and become wise too!” In this manner a wise person passes on wisdom to a new generation of wise ones.
Sometimes you can’t change things. You just have to stand by and wait for change to occur, knowing that it will, naturally. Sometimes the only thing you can do is stand still with the knowledge that all things change and that this time too shall pass. Sometimes a situation calls for patience and detachment. Doing nothing can often be the most difficult tactic but the only right one. Sometimes the only action is inaction as nature takes its course. Sometimes nature is the only answer. Let nature do its work. Stand certain that nature will get it right. Keep that certainty centered in your loving heart.

Take some quiet time to listen to today’s channeled message, offering calming insight into your deeper, calmer, loving self. It’s important in these times of outer turmoil and chaos that we all retreat at times, otherwise we end up depleted, angry, confused and ungrounded. Take time for some sound and calming reminders of who you really are. Take some alone time.
