consciousness, counting the dead, and global responsibility...

I’m in a mood today. But I’m going to put it on the back burner to hopefully write this from a place of clarity.

It is no longer enough to be conscious on an individual level only. We must rise to the occasion and become globally conscious. We have been spoiled by living in a time of self-involved luxury. Those times are over. As in the quote I posted yesterday by Marianne Williamson, “Spiritual progress is like detoxification. Things have to come up in order to be released. Once we have asked to be healed, then our unhealed places are forced to the surface.”

Along with Lisa Renee’s words I quoted on Tuesday, “In order to create inner harmony we can no longer ignore the places we have neglected or abused within ourselves. Every last vulnerability, limitation belief, sore spot, emotionally hurt areas, physical issues are blaring to the surface, demanding our attention..”

Now let’s talk about Haiti keeping the above quotes in mind. Here is a country that has been suffering for many years under corrupt dictatorships that steal from their people. Did you see the Haitian President speak after the earthquake? Did you see the thugs surrounding him? His palace compared to how his people lived? Obviously, something was very wrong. Due to a lack of infrastructure, the people of Haiti were forced to use almost of all of their natural resources to keep warm and cook food. Leaving them with nothing if tragedy were to strike and it did.

Now when we ask to be healed (and we lightworkers have on a global level), “then our unhealed places are forced to surface,” and “things have to come up in order to be released.” The consciousness of the planet is rising and as it rises our attention is going to be drawn to places that need the most healing. It is law. Haiti needed to be healed. The only way it was going to get the attention it needed was for what was unhealed to be forced to the surface - an earthquake as the catalyst.

Yes, there is mass destruction and suffering but it will bring much healing, globally and individually. Without loss, there is no growth. And believe it or not, those souls which passed on from the quake signed up for the job previous to their births. Thank them and release them. Slowly we will begin to think about our world and our planet differently because we are all one. This notion of being an America, European, Indian, Japanese, will one day be silly. The debt of each of these countries will look ridiculous. It won’t matter, does it now with debt in the zillions? Does it really mean anything anymore? This brings me to my next point – counting the dead.

Today I heard six American were among the dead in Haiti. Does it really matter what country the dead are from? This is a human tragedy, let's not make it a national one.

My heart pours out for those suffering through their losses. The pictures bring deep grief to my heart. I want to hold each of their hands, hug them and cry with them.

But what can I really do beyond donating money? I can close my eyes, expand my heart and send love.

We are all capable of healing because we are all capable of love.
