Some twenty six million Americans who are out of work or who are working for a lot less than they used to are looking down and the deep cavern below their feet. Many of those have had the rug literally pulled out from underneath them as their homes have been repossessed, and for some their car as well. What’s left to live for? Do they just JUMP?
Their past DIVAGATIONS have brought them to the brink? Have you been there?
How many times have we climbed that proverbial ladder of success only to find that it was leaning against the wrong building? How many times have you thought “this is it”, only to discover that it wasn’t? I love the Thomas Edison story wherein he had to FAIL many times before getting it right; however, that principle doesn’t seem germane at critical points of life- like the current times we’re living.
Are you absorbing the pain here? Can you emphasize?
Our planet, and we the people, are collectively there as well. Cosmologist and mystic, Jude Currivan, writes, “Our choices NOW will determine which of the two global outcomes for humanity and life on earth will ensue: breakdown or breakthrough.” She (yes, Jude is a female) is seeing the bigger picture. We are all staring a “shift in consciousness” directly in the face. Now what? Are we aware of the NOW moment? Are you?
We can TURN (repent is a good word here) and go back to safety, or we can jump and leave it to Beaver.
It’s in these moments of crises that we truly discover who we are. It sure would be a lot better if we discovered those truths without being prodded, but it is what it is. By the way, when we turn and go back, we’ll be moving in the direction of LOVE, which is always calling us. The universe is a safe place if we’ll but open ourselves to that reality.
When losing a job, family members, physical things, giving up and having fear will not bring it all back. Experience tells me that fear will keep you hostage. KNOWING God’s love for me is the safety net. What I have learned the past 3 years is Love and trust. Without that knowing, I would still be an island by myself, alone. That is not what I want for myself or anyone else. Find the safety net in you (love) and you won’t be disappointed.
I’m coming to realize that all of the wrong turns in my life weren’t really wrong–they were creative detours that made the joy of discovering my True Path all the more profound.
