This may sound strange but lately nothing I hear or see in the press affects me much. I no longer feel anger at Trump's supporters - it's up to them to find their way to truth and light. Trump's antics and bombastic statements are just boring and no longer anger me - I know his end is near, it's just a few more months. I do feel compassion for people caught in the storms and other natural disasters, but everything else, is just noise. What I am noticing is more people being kind to each other and helping each other. For every act of hate I see immediate karma and retribution like I've never seen before. Maybe it's because I'm dealing with my husband's cancer but I have so much more peace and happiness by focusing on myself, on him, on our journey, on the people we meet along the way. I can't solve the world's problems but I can help those around me and if we all do that...sounds like the world's problems will be solved.
Like so many others that have posted have said, it's about focusing on yourself and what you can do to help. Hate, anger, despair don't help. Us vs. them is not helpful. Being kind, doing good, and focusing on yourself does help. All this is unfolding because we need it to, we can't move forward unless we heal the past. Instead of seeing ugliness, I see the end result, and that is more beautiful and more important than any of the awfulness we have to go thru.
Diana, Your words lift my heart. I struggle to stay strong like everyone else with what goes on. Tonight I read over what everyone wrote here, the outpouring to Natalie, the kindness, culminating with your message. Just the love and support extended here soothes me and gives me hope.
I just wanted to post a event that is coming on September 24th if anyone is interested. Global Synchronized Meditation for Peace. There is a map on the site showing where they are, the and ones not listed could be search on facebook events.
Weirdly enough, I've been coping with the ascent of the Tangerine Palpatine ok, and even global warming, hurricanes, etc. Intuition is showing me that what needs working out will work out over the long haul (however ugly the process in the short term). HOWEVER--I just got word that friend M.G. three states over is in a facility, in pain, with cancer, and now I'm losing it. Especially with health care being under assault. I would be thrilled if prayers of peace, light, and absence of pain were in the collective on her behalf. Myself, I'm debating a 10 hr drive. Too old for that length drive, but...
Love & light being sent to your friend, RunestoneOne. If you decide to go, safe travels to you <3
RunestoneOne, your love and care for your friend shows your good heart. Feeling empathy is the first step - -you've got that covered. Feeling strength for your friend and hope - now that's the highest form of care. I think you've got that covered too. But sometimes we are too upset to send hope and healing. That's when I instead make myself an instrument for divine healing. I imagine divine light flowing through me to the one I want to help. I get my fearful frail self out of the way and just become a conduit, like a telephone line through which divine light flows. Works well.
Let love, light and healing be sent to your friend RunestoneOne. I pray that your friend recovers.
Runestone, sending your friend love and healing prayers. Love and healing prayers to you as well. Just feeling a bit down today with all the anguish and anxiety in the world: NK, Hurricances, Earthquakes, mudslides, fires, wars, healthcare, climate change, racism, sexism, a president that finds time to tweet division and sow hatred and the imbalance of darkness infringing on light. Woke up at 3am - and couldn't get back to sleep. Trying to keep sending light and love.
Of all the amazing and wonderful posts on this site that come from all of you, it's the one's that send love and support that fill me up with energy and renewal, that make me feel like I'm bursting with joy.
The predictions, the scanning, the Tarot, and the many intuitive methods we use are how we expand our awareness and open our eyes fully to this world. We have to open our eyes fully in order to be whole because we ARE the world. It's in us. All of it. So if we aren't seeing it and taking it in, then we are closed to parts of ourselves.
The empathy, compassion, the hope and the outpouring of love are how we endure and evolve.
We need both. We need to be open and aware, which is what happens when we scan and vision and use our intuition. And we need to channel love and hope.
Thank you all for sharing yourselves and your gifts here. And for teaching me.
