PEACE BE WITH US

It is a little dreary outside. It is warmish though [53.6F]. It supposed to get to near 70 today, unusual for October. Yesterday, I saw a flock of Slate Colored Juncos, on the ground, right outside my window. They were pecking and scratching around; they seemed to be taunting me with, “Winter is coming, Winter is coming.” Well, we can't stop it. The Forecast are all over the map; but most of them hint at a cold snowy Winter. I mean colder and snowier than average. Cold and snow is our reality in Winter, here on the tundra.

We are going through a chaotic period. The dark forces are waning, but they are not giving up easy. Our minds are constantly confronted with the horror in the world. Can we have the faith that everything will turn out okay? Whether it is the murder and mayhem in Yemen or the injustice and attempted exploitation concerning Standing Rock; behind it is the Corporatocracy that supports the Empire. They won't be successful in either case, but I can't predict how long we will witness barbarity. I think it will be over sooner than later. Our consciousness does not support this continued kind of craziness. I don't believe public opinion will allow that pipe line to go through. It will take a little longer in Yemen, but I believe the support for this, US/Arabia instigated atrocity, has waned.

These are only two examples of conflicts that weigh on our consciousness; they are multiplied many times around the world. Unfortunately, as long as the main stream media is controlled by the dark, we mostly hear about the horror in the world. How can we help? How can we be informed without getting caught up in the negativity?

If we think of these conflicts, as between the light and the dark; how can we support the light without focusing on the dark? We know our minds are powerful creative forces; how can we give energy to a loving solution without giving energy to the fear that enhances the dark?

{I just knocked a wire basket, containing papers and a dictionary and other sundries, off the shelf, over my desk. The container, heavy with papers and the dictionary, crashed down knocking over a coffee carafe and a large glass of water. The dictionary hit the top of the desk and continued to the floor, managing to get its cover ripped off. I hurriedly obtained a towel from the kitchen and I believe I have most of the water mopped up.}

Is this a message that I am over my head, attempting to address this subject? It is difficult to talk about. I feel we cannot ignore the horrors in the world; yet, we need to avoid giving energy to the dark. The dark forces, that have been in domination for eons, use division and fear to maintain control. Their aim is to constantly force people to take sides, and expend their energy in the conflict rather than helping people 'see'. The last thing they want is a rise in consciousness; their power depends on people being afraid.

We need to understand what is going on. Can we observe and maintain some form of equanimity? We help most by focusing our love on the situation. If we can help physically [materially], then we express love that way; otherwise, we express love with our compassion and good wishes. We are sorely tempted to judge the evildoers, for we see they are clearly on the side of the dark. However, most of them, don't know it. They are caught up in the confusion and just think they are doing their jobs. All need our compassion and understanding and in the end our forgiveness.

The most healing and powerful love we have to give comes out of a peaceful state. Hopefully, this stage will not last. I believe there are many reasons to conclude, that love is brightly shining, in the dark corners of our group mind and we will soon step out into the light. We can maintain our equanimity during these last stages of the dark's grip.

Time is traveling so fast for me. It is hard to believe Friday is here already. Weeks go by like days, used to. Many folks are looking forward to Halloween parties this weekend. It is a great time for celebration! There is nothing like celebration to raise the consciousness.

Love and Peace, Gregg
