Which is why complaining about current affairs and administrations is a severe waste of energies. Rather, we should focus on banding together and creating an example “they” can follow.
“There’s a deep wound in people – that they have been so cut off from the source of their being, their mother, their Earth Mother.”
— Francis Story Talbott II (Medicine Story), WAMPANOAG
When we are connected to the Earth Mother, or when we are clear on our purpose, we will feel connected and safe. We will feel love. When we are disconnected from the Earth Mother, or we don’t know who we are or why we are, we will feel pain. It will be similar to a little child who has lost its Mother. We will hurt inside – we will be wounded within. If this happens to the whole community, the people will be very sad and lost. It will seem like there is death in the air. When this happens, it is time for ceremony and reconnection to God and Mother Earth. This is the time of prayer.
Great Mystery, today, help me to stay connected to the Earth and to You, my Creator
If words spoken are a representation of who the speaker is … how do they describe the speaker? The speaker who, most likely, subconsciously, is deflecting from their own ways … landing descriptors and/or penalty on anyone but themselves.
Often, harsh or demeaning verbiage is spewed into the world, accidentally, or purposefully, landing on a particular person or group.
Notice what is being created under these types of circumstances, and how the effects of whatever scenario this is, get all over anyone who happens to mingle energy in any number of ways with it.
We are seeing much of this right now.
It seems the media has trained people how to point fingers and play the blame game … unless this is the natural state many minds are in? If so, I find it odd that soooo many people have yet to embark on inner reflection, and rather have simply let loose their inner, fearful, spiteful child. (Some folks cannot thrive without chaos, so they fabricate it).
Even stranger, I know some of the most powerful, prayerful, and helpful people who sometimes slip into this mode. I myself most likely (certainly) slip into it also. I find it confusing. But this entire current experience is rather ‘hidden’ … no one really knows what is happening, or will happen.
Fear over what might be has consumed the minds and hearts of the masses. Another obvious sign many are disconnected from themselves … Of course, those who face it, once were most likely paralyzed by it … so, we are all on different rungs of the same ladder … along the strands of time.
Let the focus be on retracting these harsh energies should we put them out, and transmute them into something more beneficial. Let us focus this powerful energy into a healing for the minds and hearts of all those making decisions right now … within families, within businesses, within governments.
Rather than adding poison to the pot, we ought to focus on sweetening it.
“You will lose everything. Your money, your power, your fame, your success, perhaps even your memories. Your looks will go. Loved ones will die. Your body will fall apart. Everything that seems permanent is impermanent and will be smashed. Experience will gradually strip away everything that it can strip away. Waking up means facing this reality with open eyes and no longer turning away.
But right now, we stand on sacred ground, for that which will be lost has not yet been lost, and realizing this is the key to unspeakable joy. Whoever or whatever is in your life right now has not yet been taken away from you. This may sound trivial, obvious, like nothing, but really it is the key to everything, the why and the wherefore of existence. Impermanence has already rendered everything and everyone around you so deeply holy and significant and worthy of your heartbreaking gratitude.
Loss has already transfigured your life into an altar.”
— Jeff Foster
“Oh, Great Spirit
Whose voice I hear in the winds,
And whose breath gives life to all the world,
hear me,
I am small and weak,
I need your strength and wisdom.
Let me walk in beauty and make my eyes ever behold
the red and purple sunset.
Make my hands respect the things you have
made and my ears sharp to hear your voice.
Make me wise so that I may understand the things
you have taught my people.
Let me learn the lessons you have
hidden in every leaf and rock.
I seek strength, not to be greater than my brother,
but to fight my greatest enemy – myself.
Make me always ready to come to you
with clean hands and straight eyes.
So when life fades, as the fading sunset,
my Spirit may come to you without shame.”
~ Chief Yellow Lark (Lakota)
It’s simply a matter of applying who you already are to what you now face. That’s all that matters.
Because by design, who you are is always the greater.
Proudly yours,
~ The Universe
