Back to this question...what effect might result out of the grief and emotional turmoil people in North America are experiencing? (for the first "bit" see also the previous blog below, entered earlier this morning...)

I admit I am still somewhat surprised by the information I received in the reading but then I remember; often it is the worst of times that seem to create the opportunities that lead to the best of times. So who am I to question the guidance received?

Besides this very exercise is a part of my own lessons; that I am to learn to trust the guidance received and to also learn to deliver it without tainting the information with my "judgments " about it.

Interpreting, technically, isn't a judgmental process but is rather a method of aligning received information in such a way as to be able to apply it to one's own experience, or the experience of others.

So the result of the balance of this morning's reading is that beyond a period of time (length not yet evident...) of great turmoil and heartache we, "humanity" will be uplifted and will understand and appreciate life from a different, even revolutionary perspective. Because despite all we see before our eyes we will learn to trust our world and ourselves and our capacity for love, patience, perseverance and joy. Doing so will change our world in fundamental ways.

(I'd love to get into a discussion linking the new concepts in physics to all this! perhaps another question lurks behind the scenes...)

Also to be aware - those people who for their own reasons choose to resist this growth in themseslves may instead experience depression or melancholy and feel even more desperate...(Grief of any kind is a difficult, painful and protracted experience, remember...) If your senses warn you that something doesn't feel right with a friend or loved one - pay attention to that sensation and take care to be helpful and gracious with these poor souls.

Help them see, if you can do so safely, that their desperation can be transformed; that hope, trust and love can return to their experience should they truly desire it to be so.

I know it sounds REAL hoakie but the message is fairly clear...As a society we must learn to aim toward helping each other, not tearing each other down, not using other people's experiences and situations to make ourselves feel more important, more successful, or to justify our "judgments" about ourselves or others.

A new question I am contemplating; what it is that can reach those who are convinced there's "no way out" or that they have no "choice" in the matter, that they must follow through on some dangerous, painful path?

"Nothing is impossible to a willing heart..."

next time!
