Ramp up the Positive
The human brain defaults to the negative, so you are not likely to read this thread much further if you think it’s just positive fluff. (I promise you, it is not fluff.)
Humans are programmed to pay more attention to danger and threat than positive news because that ensured the survival of the species.
However if you want to survive the debacle we are watching unfold now in our world, you need to ramp up the positive thinking.
Research shows that optimists are far more likely than pessimists to find solutions and push through to successful outcomes.
This is not new thinking. My old boss, Ed Koch, Mayor of NYC, used to have a golden plaque on his desk that read:
If you think it can’t be done, you are right. YOU can’t do it.
But neither can you expect success if you are living in a pink cloud. I use to coach youth soccer. I noticed that teams who are too confident going into a match are more likely to lose. Over confidence is a huge disadvantage. So no pink clouding! Our optimism must not be the blind kind of optimism. We must be awake, and aware of our situation, never underestimate our adversary. We must also believe in the possibility of positive outcomes.
When a Thai boys soccer team got trapped miles inside a mountain of labyrinthine pitch dark passageways, their head coach must have believed they would all die. Any rational person would not have had hope. But he set in motion a miracle of actions that spanned the globe and brought in thousands of light workers. What unfolded was a perfect storm of miracles. We can do this too.
What we are up against
Four years ago I had a timeline vision while on a meditation retreat. It showed the onset of a shocking, chaotic new normal in 2017, an economic crash sometime between late 2019 and 2020, and turnaround and recovery not until 2028. I also saw that the dark forces that crash our world will give rise to a gathering of light workers who will brings us back to humanity and life. So in the end, it turns around. I later learned that my vision coincided with the Mayan and the Indian Kali Yuga ancient prophecies. I also saw the Greek myths of Hades and Percephone would unfold. Then astrologers told me that the influence of Pluto (Hades) fit my timeline as well.
No prophecy is cast in concrete. We need to turn this timeline around sooner if we are to save ourselves. Ten more years of full blast greenhouse gas emissions planned by the GOP may not be survivable.
To turn it around, we need three actions:
(1) We need to understand how dark the perpetrators will go. I can’t overstate this enough. They will use every means a crime family would use to win.
(2) We need to know we will win.
Dose yourself with stories of winning against all odds. Saturate your brain with stories from ancient myth, modern accounts, and history so you are both awake to the darkness before us, and know that we will win.
- Read the whole story about the Thai boys here. It is worth understanding what they were up against.
- Collect stories of success against all odds. Two recent movies of political miracles of WWII: The Darkest Hour and Dunkirk.
- Share more stories we can thrive on.
(3) We need to support each other and those on the front lines now.
In short, we need to know how dark our adversaries are, and then push through to win.
