Inviting All! Join me on Neptune
With stock markets around the world plummeting today, I wanted to share a few words to assist people in dealing with this. I think people must think that I am from Neptune when I share my view of this. They could be right. At the same time, the view from Neptune is not so bad. I don’t really live there. I just spend some time there everyday.
I do live on Earth, probably more than most. I delight in sunsets and clouds. Each night there is a moment when the Sun begins to fall and it sends out a golden light. This light, along with the lengthening shadows tell the chickens, pigeons, doves, chukars, and ducks in our pens and aviary that it is time to return to their roosts. The wild birds begin looking for a place to spend the night, darting across the sky from tree to tree. They argue with each other over perching spots and their chatter fills our ears. I adore the cycle of plants. We have these great flowers on the mountain that bloom as soft pink buds each Spring. By Fall, they become a deep and rich rust color. Watching this each year is one of my greatest pleasures. In the Spring, tiny yellow daisies and violets join them. White wild yarrow and babies breath spring up. In the summer, the grasses take over, drying into stocks of grain. We get to watch the cottontails darting across the road, the new fawns with their moms going to manmade ponds for water, the litters of wild pigs stealing the neighbor’s horse food and hay. In the winter, the white oaks loose their leaves and the great winds that roar across the mountain is the primary evidence of life. On some mornings, we see the clouds cover the valley below us. On other mornings, we watch the storms flow over the mountain range on the other side of those valleys.
I really love living on Earth.
I also pay a lot of attention to world events. I firmly believe that until the Dalai Lama is back in Tibet, humans are in jeopardy. So, I watch the events in Tibet and China. I am an Activist so I watch local and national politics and events. I put political bumper stickers on my car and work on campaigns.
However, I do not consider myself of the World. I am not going to let whatever is happening determine my experience, or my future.
During the Depression of the 1930’s, the unemployment rate was over 25%. Today the unemployment rate is around 6%. It could get worse. Even if it does, we are not necessarily going to be part of the unemployed. We may have to take jobs we don’t like. We may make less money. We may have to change. Life is change.
My plan is to continue my life and watch what happens.
There are prophesies of great change, ones I have talked about in earlier posts. I pretty much figure that if they occur, I will live through those, or not. If I don’t, that means I graduate from this one. I remember that I am Spirit first.
There is a prayer or affirmation the Ascended Masters gave us that helps me remember this truth;
"There is a place of peace, of passive understanding,
that dwells in the hearts of those live in the Eternal.
It is there that I live and from there that I govern my world.
I do not need anything, I will not try."
I’m not totally above it all. Part of my coping mechanism is to make sure I am prepared for change. I wrote earlier about the lentils. I also keep prepared for feeding the animals I care for. To me this is just good sense. As a Humane Educator, I advice everyone to keep at least two weeks of food and supplies on hand for their animals. I’m a little more comfortable with a few months of food. This is just good planning.
No matter what happens, I’m pretty sure the Sun will still create that golden light and the wild violets will bloom in the spring. If they don’t, we graduate. Everything we cherish will be a pleasant dream. Being fearful or worrying is not going to change the ride. Remember the tree that bends with the wind stands upright when the wind subsides. It is the tree that is inflexible that is uprooted or broken.
May Peace Be Yours
