Chapter Twenty-two The (T)ides Of March

THE (T)IDES OF MARCH
(Metaphorically speaking)


I’m not entirely sure what I want to write today; I just know I have to write. I may be crazy (yes, very funny) and I might just have a slightly (or radically) different perspective but I am finding all of the planetary activity and the opportunities it is presenting just absolutely thrilling. I don’t mean to be insensitive by any means to the plight of our brothers and sisters in Japan. I am thankful that I cannot imagine what they must be currently experiencing. What I absolutely know in my heart, however, is that these occurrences and daily predictions of occurrences are bringing our fears, individual and collective, right to the surface where we can access them easily, feel them and, in my way of thinking, have the opportunity to transform them. Or, at the very least, have choice about whether we allow them to run (or ruin) our lives.

The “external” influences at play, such as the start of the last phase of the Mayan Calendar and the concomitant need and opportunity for individual awakening and return to consciousness, coupled with the quickening, real or perceived, of time, the confluence of planetary activity, the breaking through to awareness, although incipient, that we are all one and the media’s need to fear-monger, the fear we carry and the fear we perceive from others are all palpable in a way and to a degree I believe never before experienced in our history on Earth.

So, why are we at this juncture and what do we do? Is this a disaster or a potential disaster of previously un-experienced proportions or is this the greatest opportunity mankind has ever experienced?

It is interesting sitting here today, March 19, 2011. Predictions of “The Big One” in California or the Vancouver area are rampant. I get no energy on it at all which tells me that such an occurrence is not a high probability or a Universal truth. I do know that this week, largely as a result of the quake in Japan, the predictions of further seismic activity and all the fear engendered by those events, I finally realized that it is time for me to stop hiding out in the space of “what can one little person do to save the planet” and actually use my gifts and abilities to Save The Planet. Wow; that felt great.

I do believe that relationships and institutions of every kind have been shaken and served up for review in the past few years and I further believe that process will continue for a while. I believe the point of the shaking and review is to allow us or possibly cause us to notice where we and our larger creations are out of integrity: which, I believe, leads me to the Planet. It is unarguable that our dealings with the elemental aspects of Earth have been drastically out of integrity. Believe me; I am not holding myself above or apart from that indictment. As I said previously, while paying lip service to wanting to be a better citizen of Earth I have avoided inconveniencing myself in any way in relation to conservation or stewardship by resorting to the incredibly lame song of “I’m only one person, what difference can I make?”

I don’t know exactly why the penny dropped this week but it did and I can and intend to make a difference. Maybe it was because I have no interest in living even one day more of my life in fear and that includes fear of harm or death from earthquakes or tsunamis. Somehow all the fear that is running rampant has allowed me to see and, in fact, feel that there is another choice; action. Maybe the polar opposite of fear is a knowing of one’s power to not only influence but, in fact, create one’s life and one’s reality. I guess over the next several weeks we will see if my guidance is correct, but my reality is that we have the power through love and gratitude (although not through fear) to heal and calm the Earth. And when we actually see and feel our connection to Earth as a result of our realization that we can heal and calm it my hope and prayer is that we will understand that we cannot survive without each other and without being in integrity with each other because we are, in fact, each other.

I’m turning off lights. I’m recycling everything. I’m not going to waste water and I am going to learn more ways to conserve. When I am in the position to do so, I am going to help finance new ways to create energy because I’m pretty darn sure that the day of the nuclear power plant is over. I am going to use my connections with Source and Earth and my healing abilities and my love and gratitude to heal the air, water and earth and I am going to create a forum for anyone interested in joining me to join me in doing so. I am not afraid but I am both determined and committed and anyone who knows me will tell you that when determination and commitment unite with my belief, there is nothing I (and We) cannot do.

From my love and appreciation for our beautiful Planet to yours...
