If you are reading this, you were divinely removed from much of the old ways that are now rapidly falling apart specifically so that you would be in a safe harbor while the storm rages outside, around you. Don't stick your head out and get hit by flying debris. Why get soaked and knocked around when you can simply do as nature does? Wait it out.
You are far from alone. Many, many of us are here with you, feeling the calm that surpasses all logical understanding, knowing deep inside that this "disaster" has long been anticipated and will pass much faster than it seems.
Remember that this time is only temporary. If some of the changes you must make during this storm feel like set-backs to you, know that they are not. You are simply hunkering down until the storm clears, and it will. Some of the changes you are making are ones you have wanted for a long time. Allow yourself the joy of trusting that gut feeling that sang out "Yes!" even as another part of you cringed in a tight ball of fear. That fear was just learned beliefs and is not true. Drop it. Ignore it. Distract yourself until you forget about it. The "Yes!" was your soul rejoicing with you and reassuring you that - finally - what you've wanted is beginning to show up in your physical world. Yes! You will be ok. So will everyone you love and care about.
Much sooner than it seems, the sky will clear and as you venture outside, you will be astounded at the utter beauty and joy you sense around you, despite whatever your physical senses or worried mind are telling you.
You will suddenly see the people around you more clearly. And who they are, who you are, will cause joy to surge through you and erupt in relief and laughter. We are a species of magnificent, creative, intelligent, caring, compassionate, open-minded people who have been preparing for this "storm" for eons.
Solutions have been created by us, and are now being offered in earnest. This time, we are collectively ready to embrace those solutions. More than that, this time enough of us are ready to join in and expand on those solutions, enhance them, and spread them quickly throughout our world.
Many of the ways of our cultures have been corrupted. The systems that are rapidly crumbling around us are doing so because (a) they were decayed by fear, greed, lies and manipulation of others. And, (b) enough of us worldwide have now withdrawn our energy (and loyalty) from those systems. Do you understand what that means? This is not about good overcoming evil. It's much better than that!
Humanity has reached a new level. We are more aware and clear than we have ever been before about how Life really works, and our personal power to create a loving, safe, creative world in which to play and explore. We have reached critical mass and we will never again go back into the same level of disempowered, enslaved ways of thinking and creating that we've already lived through.
We have, collectively, begun to create our new world.
Here are two ways you can weather this storm and feel a sense of safety, reassurance and even joy.
1. Keep re-focusing your attention on anything that you can genuinely appreciate. The warmth of a blanket wrapped around you. The sound of a child laughing or singing, despite your worried mind. The beauty of the leaves or flowers in your view. Stay the course of appreciation and you will find yourself feeling increasingly better. When you are in a state of appreciation, you are literally cocooned in a safe harbor. Your energy is also enveloping those you love, putting you all safely beyond harm's reach.
2. Look past the immediate chaos of this storm and imagine the astonishingly beautiful world that is coming into view before us. Do you see it? Imagine it. Dwell in gratitude for what is to come. It doesn't matter if you can't imagine HOW it will come. It is already on its way. I'll tell you what I see coming. . .
I see every person relaxed and open-hearted.
Every person has water, healthy food, comfortable and cozy shelter, friends, family, and a connectedness with all the other life that nature provides.
I see every person engaged in activities that enliven them and fill them with passion. I see smiles everywhere I look. I hear laughter, singing, chatter, and comfortable silence. I see people hugging, talking intimately, crying openly, and being completely authentic with one another.
I see an explosion of creative ideas and energized people leaping to participate to bring those ideas into form. Play is the order of the day, for play is simply letting our Life force flow freely through us. We all understand that one person's play is another person's mundane or dreaded task. So we've dropped all those silly, limiting beliefs about what should, or should not, feel good. We finally get that each person really knows what impassions them and we all trust and honor that.
A few of us are still fully engrossed in one pursuit at a time, but most of us now have several "part-time jobs." Or so that's how we jokingly refer to our activities, for they provide quite well for us, yet they fit us so well and we enjoy them so much, that we consider them play.
There is more. Much more. Do you see it? Imagine it. Imagine the new world of YOUR dreams. When you are there, in that imagined world, you are both safe and doing your part to bring that world to all of us.
Notice how you feel, when you appreciate whatever you honestly can about what currently is.
Notice how you feel when you imagine the amazing good that is coming.
Do you feel lighter? Calmer? More hopeful? Energized? Are you able to feel love flowing through you again? This is how you safely weather this storm.
And if you peek out, and relax, you will see the hint of colors swirling together to start forming the rainbow we will all enjoy very soon.
In light, love and joy.
