Prosperity Tip: What Are You Feeling?
Anyone who follows the news these days can get the feeling that the whole world is falling apart. And maybe it is!
With protests, corruption, drug-gang violence, severe state and national budget cuts, rising gas and food prices, an unstable job market, so-called leaders acting like children, and seemingly endless extreme weather events forefront in the news, it’s no wonder that people are feeling anxious, overwhelmed, depressed, powerless, and concerned about the future.
Many people are either out of work or only a paycheck away from financial disaster. Even those with what used to feel financially secure are beginning to worry about the future of their investments.
Here’s what’s happening:
It’s not the whole world that is falling apart, but rather systems that have outlived their usefulness. As the old systems decay and new begin to form, the foundations of society are in turmoil We are in that place between the old and new that doesn’t have clear form or definition.
On the Edge of the Chaos
In 1975, when I was doing a lot of intense healing and meditation, I had a strong vision–actually, it was something I “heard.” The gist of it was that we were headed towards a period of great chaos on the planet, that many people would leave, and that the violence in the middle east would get so bad that people would ask, “How can a benevolent God allow this to happen.”
The second part of the message was that people were being trained to act as points of peace in the midst of the chaos in order to help those who would become befuddled and scared.
I’m fully aware that messages received in this manner are not infallible–our humanness can get in the way. Even so, I have spent the last 30 years or so learning how to detach and watch the drama while holding on to a faith that whatever is happening is ok. It’s not good or bad, it’s only what is.
It looks to me like we have moved from the outer edges of the chaos and are now moving towards the eye of the storm. Because of the speed (or lack of it) with which universal events take place, this could take years.
From my point of view, it looks as if a viable strategy is to find a place of peace within ourselves in order to cope with the chaos and uncertainty. Easier said than done, I know, but well within the range of possibility.
It looks to me as if we have two choices. We can either get caught up in the fear and chaos, or not. Each of us can choose which direction in which we wish to move and we can take action to go there.
Lots of people have already chosen the path of peace and we can surround ourselves with those who eschew judgement, hate, and violence and embrace acceptance, love, and peace. For me, that’s what prosperity is all about.
