For a long time terror seemed to be something far from our daily lives. But the so-called crisis areas seem to expand ever more.
In midoctober a friend from Israel wanted to come to Berlin for a wedding. However, she had to cancel her visit: Israel was yet shaken by another wave of terror and being a medical doctor she was needed at her hospital. Furthermore she has three teenage children whom she could not allow to use public transport and therefor had to drive them around. In this way the terrorists ruined her participation at a wedding and made her daily life more difficult. After the phone conversation I thought, that such a life where violent attacks and suicide bombings were part of the daily routine was quite a challenge and I was grateful and glad that I wasn´t living in a “crisis area”.
Hardly four weeks later while doing my Tibetan exercises in the morning and listening to the radio I learned about the attacks in Paris of the previous night. Suddenly I had the feeling that a threshold had been crossed. At least for me personally. For others it might have begun with 9/11 or any of the many other more or less consciously perceived terror acts against people in various countries.
For they happen ever more frequently – with more or less media coverage and are certainly not any longer limited to “traditional areas of crisis” like the Near East or Afghanistan. It dawned on me that from now on also the oh-so-safe Western countries were about to become an area of crisis – if they aren´t one already. The US, who is prone to raising panic, announced a warning to their citizens concerning international travel including advice on how to behave in public spaces and public transport. This is of course not limited to the Americans and therefor their warning is hauntingly appropriate. Another highlight of this is the expression the French president Francois Hollande used for the situation: he call it a war against the “Da’esh (previously named IS or ISIS – more about the new name in the second part of this article.) And that of course is exactly, what the terrorists wanted to achieve: world wide attention and now promoted to being an actual opponent in war. And instead of reducing the effects in the region of origin – Syria and Iraq, it is now spreading out.
Concern is growing as well
Less than 24 hours later, people colored their Portraitpictures on Facebook in the colors of the French flag blue, white and red to express their solidarity with the French. (The last time this happened it was the rainbow colors in order to celebrate the legalization of same sex marriage in the US.) Somebody posted the famous Cole Porter Song “I love Paris”, another made the peace sign with the Eifel tower by the French graphic artist Jean Jullien their status image. And others yet again immediately complained why they never had used the colors of the Syrian flag to express their solidarity and others admonished to be particularly nice to Muslims who might have to fear (more) discrimination now.
Besides the usual media reports on the strategies of police and military in the “fight against terror” lots is being written, blogged and posted. Some of it rather idiotic (and not even worth a link), some occasionally polemic, but inspiring, i.e. by David Wong and Paul Klugman.
Very moving also was the FB posting by the French radio journalist Antoine Leiris, father of a little son whose wife was killed by the terrorists. His headline: “You will not get my hate!” Others, who had also lost friends or family in the events, expressed themselves in a similar vein.
Many questions, few answers
All of this obviously also occupies my mind and so I herewith add my input to the pool of written discussion of the subject. And this will continue, no doubt. More will be written, blogged and posted – concerning past events and those of the future – for they will certainly occur.
Many ask questions, some offer answers – why it’s happening, what led up to this and how “peace and order” can be (re)established, so “it” stops and yet most of it doesn´t offer an immediate perspective of the desired safety and sustainable peace of the soul.
For our lives will be imprinted with this for quite a while. Especially in Berlin – that surely is ranking high among the targets of the terrorists – or as one local politician expressed it: Berlin has an “abstract high situation of danger”. Apparently it´s just a matter of time, until something happens here and I do notice the increased number of security personal in trains and at stations and more helicopters are combing through the sky above Berlin.
Sunday night after the events in Paris I was on the phone with a dear psychic friends sharing my observations. She said the spiritual realms had told her we were entering a civil war.
What can we do?
We seized the opportunity and asked our metaphysical friends what we could do to act intelligently in the future concerning the matter. The spiritual realms recommended to become atheist (not without humor considering where the information came from) and not to fight or quarrel.
Interestingly enough the statement by the Dalai Lama concerning the events is in a similar vein. He declared at a conference on science and spirituality in New Delhi, India and in an interview with a German radio station, that praying to god or Buddha in the situation would prove hardly helpful. Most problems were created by humans and could only solved by humans and so a more secular approach to spread the universal human values was needed. If we manage to create peace in our families and our society, we would have a chance for a change to the better.
Other spiritual and conscious people too commented on the situation always steering their readers away from the victim position of suffering towards an attitude of conscious and humble self-empowerment.
Matt Kahn, intuitive healer and spiritual teacher suggests in his Facebookblog a path of radical forgiveness especially concering the acts of terror, as a means to raise one’s own frequency of consciousness and thereby contributing to the wellbeing of all. He recommends a short prayer: “I allow the souls of…too be pardoned and set free as I now am.” In the dotted space one can put the name or title of all those for whom one wishes forgiveness and liberation.
The Austrian explorer of consciousness, Christoph Fasching, had already commented earlier on the European refugee situation in his newsletter (not available in English). He said, that the intentional destabilization of economy and politics was to create unease among people and thereby waken and nurture their need for powerful protection and guidance. With his colleagues he developed an immediate self-help program (so far only available in German) that is designed to undo old unhealthy connections, identifications and belief systems and strengthen one´s personal creative powers via inner imaging and de- and re-programming sentences.
Michael Roads, the spiritual teacher and nature mystic from Australia who can travel metaphysically in other times and realities also said in his facebook blog that for him this and similar events were primarily about an absence of love, it had nothing to do with religion. He believes this will increase and there will be a further polarization of humanity. Many will drift towards hate, fear and anger and many others towards love, forgiveness and compassion. In his view it is particularly important that we maintain our orientation towards love in the face of the horror – then love will prevail in the long term.
In his following posting he emphasizes yet again the power of emotions: love unites as humanity, fear and hate separate us and it is up to the individual, his decisions and his consciousness which path – and already mentioned pole – he chooses. Furthermore the current events are also an expression of a paradigm shift: from power to force. According to him power and control will not work any longer – and actually never did in the past. But a humanity united in love is a force that can determine the fate of the planet. The violent powers who now act up so destructively is the battle of departure of a dying consciousness and when the new – that of love and peace takes over the baton, depends on us and our choices. Therefor everyone is called to consciously choose his own path – towards the old paradigm of power and violence or the path of fore and love.
What this might be about
I did a lot of research and learned quite a bit for instance from Laura Knight-Jadczyk and her websites SOTT and Cassiopaea.org. I´ve come to the conclusion that what we presently perceive as an emerging civil war – that is to say the terrorists who describe themselves or are described as members of Da’esh and the governments of the attacked countries, who also act with violence are only part of a much greater play. I believe that this is not actually about religious conflicts – it just happens to serve as an ideal vehicle for conflict to manipulate people emotionally and instrumentalize them – we learned this in Europe already during the Thirty Years War and of course at the time of the Nazis.
Besides the increasing number of terror attacks the suddenly growing numbers of refugees are also part of this gigantic production: the theme is destabilization on all levels, for that feeds the fears and strengthens the cry for “law and order” and finally more control…through an elite minority.
This elite minority also promotes armed conflict in our world, drug trade as well as the pharmaceutical industries and manipulation of our agriculture (gene manipulation) and the toxicity of our food and detergents etc.
There is a lot of speculation concerning their actual aims. Certainly this elite is also striving for more power, securing their wealth and keeping their privileges exclusive. However they already have more money than they can spend in their lifetime and their lifestyle is probably hard to top. But they think dynastically and longterm – beyond their present life.
I am certain that they are convinced in their own way to be acting from a place of love and kindness…just like Adolf Hitler too thought of himself as a kind and benevolent person. My feeling is that they truly believe that it is absolutely necessary to completely control humanity…and they are certain of themselves “doing good” by sowing discord in order to maintain stability of “the system” and actually steer it according to their own agenda.
Conflict is profitable, peace even more so – depending on point of view
There is an ancient fable from the Indogermanic culture, in the Northern Edda it goes somewhat like that: In the world ash Yggdrasil there is an eagle living at the top and a lindworm at the roots. Inbetween a nasty squirrel is running up and down the tree trunk and tells the lindwurm what spiteful things the eagle said about him and vice versa.
The fable doesn´t reveal why the squirrel is doing this or who may have motivated him. But one thing is clear: it´s a clear distribution of roles and all concerned are busy and so nothing changes the situation… Conflict seems to be of existential value in our world: judges, lawyers, secret service employees, diplomates, mediators and members of the military would have far less to do, if people weren´t in need of their services because the managed to handle their affairs among each other in a wise way. But distrust, self-doubt and many fears are getting in the way of this and there are many “squirrels” in various guises who sow and feed it. It´s an interesting thesis to consider if we perhaps would have less conflicts if we had less people depending on or profiting from it…
War is the superlative of conflict – and it is a well-known fact how profitable war is for the economy – if perhaps not for the individual citizen… From this point of view the provocation of a civil war on the part of those who profit from it economically and energetically seems all the more believable.
And this elite minority does actually exist. They are so elite that their names are hardly publicly known – or rather: there are others even more clandestinely busy behind those publicly known. Research might reveal some interesting insights. Those who have not seen or know about the Film “Thrive” – I can highly recommend it. It helps to widen one´s personal perception. But in the end everyone has to decide for himself what sources prove to be decent and what is truth and what is esoteric nonsense – or rather which conspiracy theory is more than a fear driven fantasy…
At any rate the notion that there is a hidden elite minority working so hard on making mankind suffer shocking. So shocking and hard to believe that it might seem unreal. And yet…it is so, for otherwise we all would be doing much better: less health issues, less financial pressure, no lack of food or water etc.
If these violent provocations of the elite will have the results they are hoping for can be doubted, for humanity has changed or rather is about to realize it can change – human being by human being. Enough people are aware of the experiences of the holocaust and other totalitarian systems in order not to be manipulated that easily anymore.
The personal state of consciousness and attitude are important
If I have correctly understood the spiritual teachers and their messages, the decision of every single human being will have more weight than ever now – in which direction the threshold will be crossed – into the dark of fear, doubt and resignation or into the light of love, trust and creativity. And so two big streams are developing and will be so strong that they each create a new reality and for the first time in our history of consciousness we can decide in which reality we want to live.
More about this in the next blog entry.
