Dealing with the terror requires a higher awareness of our emotions. The more intensely I deal with it and the more closely I observe my environment the more I realize that the individual and collective thoughts and according emotions are an absolute key in the matter. For emotions are energy \u2013 and this energy fuels what we experience physically \u2013 individually and in groups. Or \u2013 as Michael Roads is fond of saying: \u201cWhere our attention goes, energy flows.\u201d With a negative attitude our experiences literally become negative, with a positive attitude positive\u2026and if you think you have a positive attitude and still have too many negative experiences\u2026then it is time to take a close look at your subconscious\u2026<\/p>\n
Some people for example \u2013 and they are not so few \u2013 draw their energy from the suffering of others. They mistake pity with sympathy and compassion and can dwell in the pain of others in a dramatic way which gives them a certain kick. They feel more alive through the feeling of pain\u2026it\u00b4s a kind of psycho-emotional SM-game\u2026<\/p>\n
Then there are those of course who struggle themselves with so much anger and frustration and lack of self-esteem that the events offer a welcome occasion to vent on the \u201cevil\u201d and the \u201cnasties\u201d, or to express solidarity with the victims etc. \u2013 another effort to hopefully feel oneself and because it seems impossible to do it through love, it has to be the heat of anger.<\/p>\n
This also applies to those who will desperately cry for more power and control\u2026and are full of fear, blame and anger\u2026and anger is an amazing energy generator\u2026 and in many ways their position is understandable\u2026but being in hate, anger and fear is extremely exhausting in the long term and can make you ill.<\/p>\n
A wise person (I couldn\u00b4t find out who said it first) once said: \u201cEvery human expression is either an expression of love or a cry for love.\u201d That means every violent act and every crossing of a boundary \u201cin the name of god\/peace\/love\u201d is actually a cry for unconditional love \u2013 independently from the claims of the perpetrators. Even though they most likely wouldn\u00b4t be able (yet) to receive it if it was offered to them.<\/p>\n
This also means \u2013 if one can grasp it at least a little \u2013 accepting that we all share ONE common field of consciousness with the puppet masters, the terrorists and everyone involved in this game \u2013 all perpetrators and victims. One can perhaps distance oneself from the people in many ways \u2013 but not from their consciousness. That\u00b4s why it is so important, to undo everything in one\u00b4s own consciousness what could feed the terror \u2013 like fear, worry and anger. Then that monster doesn\u00b4t get food anymore\u2026<\/p>\n
Which ever powers are behind it all and work on people having more fear than trust, experience more pain than joy and are less relaxed and creative than rather stressed and helpless \u2013 their primary tool and strategy is separation and division. But this movement is doomed to fail since 2013. The representatives of the old power driven systems have outlived their usefulness in our evolutionary timeline \u2013 for us it\u00b4s all about love and compassion. Even though it may not look like that short term, but we all know a crisis can also catalyze and strengthen bonding and unity between people.<\/p>\n
In the face of these events \u2013 which might become more frequent and worse first – it is therefore very important, not to fall into negativity and to become overwhelmed by pain and thereby reactive. Even though our present code of society is much more prone to accepting that than if someone is distanced, sober minded and calm and maintains control and power over his emotions.<\/p>\n
I personally feel we are dealing less with a \u201cwar of belief\u201d (may it concern religion, political systems, claims of territory or the \u201cultimate truth\u201d) rather than with a kind of \u201cconsciousness test\u201d: it\u00b4s about the internal struggle of \u201cgood and bad\u201d \u2013 for of course already most of us are prone to judge their feelings and actions in terms of \u201cgood and bad\u201d \u2013 individually as well as collectively. But it is time not to perceive everything any longer in terms of black and white but all colors in between \u2013 never forgetting that ALL colors are part of the spectrum, otherwise our world wouldn\u00b4t exist \u2013 and that the perception of light is always a matter of the standpoint in relation to the light.<\/p>\n
It is certainly not about winning a war \u2013 or losing it. It is about creating a field of consciousness where war or violent conflict are unnecessary because the well being of all is more important than the well being of some at the expense of others. We all have the ability to let compassion and wisdom rule our actions rather than fear and violence, we only have to dare doing it and practice it.<\/p>\n
This also includes accepting that the highest good is not life in our present physical bodies \u2013 but love and the ability to trust and being able to actually feel and live unconditional love. Life is eternal and indestructible anyway. A being, a soul changes only it\u00b4s physical state \u2013 the according body is only it\u00b4s vehicle. (This point is actually rather important and therefor I will explore it further in my next blog.)<\/p>\n
Also that we actually are \u2013 no matter how uncomfortable \u2013 only responsible ourselves for our life and experience of it. So when we experience pain, there is an aspect of us who has decided to experience this\u2026 and by the same token we can decide that we don\u00b4t want this any longer. But this requires that we become aware of our aspect that creates pain, lack, fear etc. and makes it a physical sensation. For an according decision must overwrite the programming of the subconscious that is often opposed against it.<\/p>\n
I decided to consider this and all future experiences that are meant to evoke and nurture fear and worry an incentive to exercise even more positive feelings:<\/p>\n
I have decided to consider every human encounter as sacred from now and \u2013 and celebrate every meeting with friends even more. I will also actually do things that nurture and support togetherness. I will appreciate existing and emerging love relationships \u2013 including the relationship to my Self.<\/p>\n
In every situation of conflict I will ask even more often and more consciously what the most intelligent point of view is, that allows for a wise solution of the conflict and avoidance of a row. I will exercise to express compassion instead of pity.<\/p>\n
I will work on transforming all my remaining aspects that cause me to suffer. For the more conscious I become the more aware am I that: whatever happens, happens \u2013 sometimes I\u00b4m more sometimes less part of it occurring. Then I will consciously decide how to deal with a situation \u2013 active, instead of reactive. The change of perception of a situation often already allows a change towards the better.<\/p>\n
Instead of praying, I will decide even more consciously and choose \u2013 and occasionally, if permitted and adequate \u2013 ask our common field of consciousness (which is god to me). Praying for me is less an asking anyway, rather than a way of directing love to people and situations, so that they may be supported in their change and unfolding of potentials in accordance with the light.<\/p>\n
I will exercise compassion with the perpetrators for they are actually lacking love and with their victims.<\/p>\n
I will daily and every moment express as much love, as I can manage. No matter whether it\u00b4s making a present for a dear human being, dancing with others or simply standing in line with them at the supermarket. I will make sure I am as often and as deeply as possible in a state of love and joy.<\/p>\n
I will constantly thank for all the good, beautiful and wonderful things there are \u2013 and in those moments when I\u00b4m challenged by fear, aggression and suffering, I will find the way that ultimately allows again for the richness of life in all its expressions to unfold.<\/p>\n
I will even more often look for the humorous angle of a situation and wherever and whenever I can contribute to serenity in a relaxed way.<\/p>\n
And concerning the new name of the terrorists, who were so far known as IS or ISIS (as a friend of mythology it really bothered me to have the name of a mother goddess abused this way). But the letters were an acronym for \u201cIslamic state of Iraq and Syria\u201d. From now on they are called \u201cDa\u2019esh\u201d \u2013 which is the exact translation of the acronym in Arab \u2013 due to an initiative of Syrian opponents to the movement. However acronyms are rare in the Arab language and have a flavor of irony and are intended to ridicule the organization. Satire always was a great weapon against religious fundamentalism and so I happily follow suite.<\/p>\n
I will give my creativity even more space and expression. Partly because I happen to be particularly contend and happy when I\u00b4m creative, partly it also makes others often more contend and happy\u2026 And I am generally determined to seek out ways to experience and express my own divinity.<\/p>\n
I choose trust instead of fear, compassion instead of pity, creativity instead of resignation , grief instead of anger and surrender instead of giving up \u2013 until I have the feeling, to not any longer stress my consciousness and that of others with my feelings and thoughts through negativity.<\/p>\n
It\u00b4s quite possible that I won\u00b4t succeed in this life time and grow old and leave my body \u2013 well then I will continue in an ethereal state of being or even return for another life!<\/p>\n
But perhaps it happens sooner because many others are oriented similarly and if we all act accordingly, the world will change towards the better \u2013 perhaps not as fast as we desire, but faster than feared. Perhaps the present terror catalyzes and accelerates our development towards more wisdom, love and compassion \u2013 in our encounters with each other and with nature.<\/p>\n
Then indeed applies to the terror and it\u00b4s creators that what the German poet J.W. von Goethe puts into the mouth of the devil who introduces himself saying: \u201cI am part of that certain force which strives for evil but does good bring forth.\u201d<\/em> (My translation.)<\/p>\n The earlier and the more aware we decide to live and express unconditional love, the faster fear, power and hate lose their grip of us and we can let go of the \u201cbad guys\u201d from their opposing roles\u2026 The victory of love is actually in reality only a matter of time \u2013 there is no doubt it will win!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Dealing with the terror requires a higher awareness of our emotions.
