For those of us on the lightworker path, it is a badge of honor to walk in peace despite what is going on in the world around us. I freely admit, that badge keeps falling off my chest! How about you?
The energies of “Fear and Loathing” are compounded all around us. The news - in print, cable and television is awash in that energy. In keeping with old energy rules for acquiring viewers, it is still primarily only designed to initiate fear and create blame, finger pointing and anger. In short, it can’t help itself but to be very dramatic in a highly exaggerated way.
Remember how many felt on November 4th this past year? It was a collective grand sigh of relief and felt as if a true energy shift had occurred on the planet. Many cried as it was so palpable. And here we are only 60 days into the term of our new President Obama, often succumbing to and finding ourselves in the latter energies and not the former. Why is that and what is going on?
The Economic Meltdown Stage II – A Tale of Two Cities
It is not as if we who are in this collective of early ascension community were not told about this big event in prophecy and wise counsel, even quite a while back. It is not as if we do not know intuitively that the present systems and structures of earthly economic stewardship are strongly at odds with what our own inner wisdom tells us about a different possibility and experience that honors everyone involved in a system of economic exchange. We intuit a system that is not so out of balance. And yet, as we stand aside and watch “the turmoil” going on today, we can feel overwhelmed by the dark, depressed, fearful energies. We “feel” the fear despite our knowing of the wonderful blessing that this economic shift is all about.
The economic shift is in its second stage so to speak. It is now getting deeper, going under the “skin into the muscles” of the structures and systems involved. Once the declaration was re-set to have a government that acts in the interest of its people, to be one of greater transparency, then those realities are now (much more than in the past) going to be what gets created.
Most of us would accept the notion that many politicians did not run for office just to be of service to their constituents. They were also attracted to those structures because they could wield great power and be a mover and a shaker. The Washington that has evolved over the last 250 years is one where things get done mostly by trading favors to accomplish solving the requests of very specific interest groups that are perceived as bestowing or connecting to that power.
Most would also agree that the structure of the corporation is designed to create as much profits as possible for the shareholders. As The Group pointed out, it is illegal for a corporation to use large portions of its profits for other purposes even if it wanted to. The fact that over these many years’ politicians and corporations would become so enmeshed now seems obvious in hindsight, especially as we have learned such universal truths as “like energy attracts like energy” really are core precepts of 3D reality.
This very strong and symbiotic old world energy link is now being illuminated. It is the musculature level of the economic meltdown. And it is not to be feared. What we are seeing is simply further revealing that we might actually desire politicians who would spend a week to read a 1000 page bill prior to voting to pass it. Or that we might desire corporate leaders who would accept personal responsibility for the choices they made in the past that did not support their entire chain of customers. Or that the two might possibly act in ways that don’t just serve each other but serve all. This is the beginning of transparency at the deeper levels.
And so, it is indeed “the best of times and the worst of times”. It really does depend on how you choose to perceive and experience it. We have been “advised”, (as opposed to being “told what to do”), that giving energy to fear, in any way, shape or form, increases it, assists it, makes it more real in 3D reality. Do you want to continue to live in that city of fear, or do you want to choose another city?
I have a story that relates to this that is interestingly illuminating and directly related to Lightworker. Steve and Barbara scheduled a Sacred Relationship seminar in New Jersey for early next month. It was to be proceeded by a one day “view from atop the bus” seminar. There are a great many of the lightworker community in and around the New Jersey area. Past seminars that pulled from similar sized audiences have always had a good turnout. This event had to be cancelled when it came time for Steve and Barbara to buy their plane tickets because hardly any lightworkers had signed up to attend the events. It is a rarity that such a thing has happened, and certainly not for many years.
The story is illuminating because it means that even those of us who “should” know better are still affected by the “fear and loathing” that permeates our earth right now. We are shrinking in, withdrawing and holding our cards, and our wallets, close. Which is an action that, of course, just enhances the economic turmoil energy and possibly, extends its duration within the 3D timeline. The obvious question is: is that what we want to be doing to ourselves?
Change is not bad. We do not fear change, we fear the unknown. Change is simply is the act of creating something new. We do not fear new things, all of us love to get and experience new things. What we have learned (over many lifetimes, not just this one), is to fear the unknown. And that fear is based on the Belief System (the BS) that we can be harmed. No invention that ever changed our lives for the better was created without 1000’s of “failed” experiments included in the process of such creations. We usually choose to forget about that side of the 3D coin. Our past experiences were/are nothing more than experiments. What makes it even better is that not anything/one of them was/is a “failure” for that is simply our “view from within the bus”.
Business as Usual or Bus-I-ness anew
The modern world of conduct in commerce and business is really just another experiment. It worked highly successfully for a few hundred years for those who bent it toward their ends. The view from atop the “bus” sees the perspective of that experiment (experience) as out of balance with the new consciousness evolving on the planet. And so, as the character Mr. Smith in the movie The Matrix tells Neo, “change is inevitable”.
It can no longer be business as usual. The new energy on the bus, (a collective ride for everyone) of business is that we each must take responsibility for the ride we take. We must elevate the “i” in business from the lowercase to the uppercase “I”. As we have already heard, the new actions of business will be about the power of the individual acting on behalf of the unit (the unity) of all those on the bus. The current systems and structures of business that are failing are not based on the “I” of each and every individual, nor based on the “I” of the integrity of what “the system” says it is doing versus what it actually does.
Do you embrace and welcome this new energy of commerce and business fully, or are you at odds regarding what you say you desire versus how you really feel (and therefore behave)? Are you all for a commerce systems that values an honest energy exchange without being tainted by fear? If so, it requires you to take personal responsibility for how you share the energies that are represented as dollars and cents (sense) in the current world. In getting back to the Lightworker seminar story and where we are choosing to put our energies (assuming such events are activities that you enjoy doing), is fear limiting us from engaging in the things that bring us joy?
The new earth energies require us to invest in the opposite of the old energies of fear, control and separation. Clearly then experiences (expenditures) that support love, freedom and unity are activities and exchanges that we might be better off going with rather than shying away from. The giver and the receiver involved in the exchange offered by business that model the new earth energies must both participate fully in order to bring about change “that we can all believe in”.
Aspectology
A more in depth understanding of how we can make “the change” from the old earth energies to the new involves “accepting and integrating” all of our own “aspects”. I was listening to some of the Crimson Circle material by Geoffrey Hoppe as he channeled Tobias. The information was what Tobias termed Aspectology (see http://www.crimsoncircle.com/Newsletters/CC-Newsletter-August2008-aspectology.htm).
The Lightworker seminar story is not meant to place blame, it is meant to put light upon the issue that we all are co-participants in this great shift. When we act out of fear, it involves us making negative judgments about others or ourselves and acting in alignment with that negativity. Now while most of us are not consciously aware of it, as Tobias points out (to make it conscious), all of us at one time or another (lifetime or another) were the “ultimate despicable, selfish and controlling” ones that are currently “getting the blame” for the economic “mess”. Well not only is that just “us” getting angry with parts of ourselves, (our aspects), it is also us not accepting that we are responsible for co-creating such energies on the planet in the first place.
So ideally, there really is no “judgment” energy that we want to bring to this shift to a new economy. It is more about accepting that we each are truly “fully responsible” and the blessing here is that we get to now consciously act and behave in a different way, with different potential and outcomes toward which we can now all co-create. (For those readers who are saying to themselves, “I did not create my poverty, job loss or lack of money, it happened to me without my choice”, keep in mind it is not possible to experience such things without having participated in some meaningful way in creating it (as a result of karma or for a current “lesson”, or by giving up your personal power). From a "bus top" view, either it is that you are being of service to those around you by having the experience, or serving yourself by experiencing events that will have you more directly raise your own consciousness (so then you can be of service in raising the consciousness of others)
The Spring Solstice
Take a deep breath of fresh air. Spring is a time of renewal energy and rebirth. These times and events are perfectly in sync with springtime and the energies that come in with the Solstice to support us. We are co-creating a new world that will indeed be of service, in stewardship, in a manner that is inclusive and supports unity and integration at the deeper levels, as well on the surface. It will be one that therefore has integrity and authenticity in its structures and systems.
I invite you to look with hope and faith toward the current economic situation. The current illuminations are exactly what will empower the creation of new businesses and new political structures. This is exactly what is needed and required. Embrace it and act accordingly with the energies you desire. Know that uour money is a reflection of your energy. Energy that flows creates more flowing energies. A positive spiral of energy extends outward and grows. Look to your own counsel to see if you are allowing fear to limit your contributions to this new energy. If you find you are being all too human and still being sucked into the matrix, take heart. You have the power to simply choose to act the opposite of the energy of fear. Join me and pick up that badge of honor, place it back on your chest where you had it before it fell (for sometime in this life or another one, you wore it proudly)! And when you do, that will bring you peace.
