I'll difficult at the records I received a few months in the past, which become that we had been inside the middle of a large shift (that commenced someday in mid to overdue May). Many folks who are sensitive to the general power sensed a few type of shift then. At the time, it turned into as if we were within the inhalation segment of the shift and everything felt suspended, as though people were figuratively holding their breath. I got that the exhalation could come slowly and steadily beginning in August or September, with it culminating round that time (Sept.?). I similarly got that the shift needed to do with attaining essential mass in the world of human beings knowing what needed to be executed for global recovery, that many humans have been in denial or with their heads figuratively within the sand, however might suddenly comprehend each the significance of global restoration and what needed to be accomplished. The "international recovery" I turned into getting needed to do with recovery of the earth, the surroundings. The above represents what I got at the time. In addition, I'd like to percentage some other thoughts with you.
The Terrorism of 9/11, 2001
In mild of the above, how do I reconcile the above? (As I noted earlier than, I did by no means foresee the fear of Tuesday.) Healing of the environment and private healing, I feel, are related. With respect to geophysical recuperation, it is obvious that the continual exponential increase of our human population has been a primary aspect in degrading the environment and more and more lowering habitat -- from destroying more and more of the global habitat to make room for more human beings, to pollutants, to extinction of species, to deforestation. We degrade the sector in which we live when we see ourselves as separate and other than it. Conversely, it's miles in understanding that we are part of the entire and linked to the smallest creature that the belief dawns that the destruction/loss of critical links in that chain of lifestyles will in the end impact human beings. It goes returned to whether we see ourselves as stewards or dominators
Personal healing inside the sense of peace, however, additionally goes returned to character obligation and begins at the private stage. I heard one nearby minister on the neighborhood information coverage say inside the prayer carrier she was carrying out that, "we're now figuring out that if one person does no longer have peace, no one will have peace." We are components of the entire and both contribute to and are laid low with that complete. Put another manner, international peace starts at the private degree. The loss of peace refers to not just peace within the sense of absence of navy war, but also internal peace.
Terrorism
Clearly terrorists do now not have inner peace. We all have our "stuff" to various levels. In a few, the diploma of "stuff" is so excellent that worry, hatred, and anger can also outweigh love, kindness, tolerance, etc. I have felt for lots, many years that, to be overly simplistic, there are two principal energies -- one that attracts/pulls collectively and one which repels/pushes apart. Love and hate. Kindness and cruelty. Faith/believe and worry. To be a terrorist, I experience, is to be inside the grips of worry, hate, judgment, and negativity. Fanatics commonly additionally have thoughts sets and ideals so firmly and tightly in region that they cannot understand actually, a form possibly of self-brought on mind-washing. Indeed, a lot of us have beliefs and mind-sets that coloration our perceptions in order that we do now not see matters genuinely and objectively. Fear, hate, negativity, judgment, closed-down attitudes -- those make a contribution significantly to an absence of personal peace and performing out those negativities, as we saw on Tuesday. This is why non-public recuperation is so very critical -- to transmute the negative with the advantageous and the clean, so that we may additionally see and act virtually and positively.
Personal Response
As to the disturbing activities themselves, how can we reply? Obviously, we have to all respond in our personal way -- from prayer, to visualizing peace and recuperation, to donating blood, and, sure, even to anger. It is flawlessly natural and human to experience anger. The query, although, is whether we act on that anger or stay caught in that anger. I sense that the human, emotional side people may additionally sense anger along the compassion, unhappiness, and sympathy. On the alternative hand, the more spiritual and conscious aspect of us may experience a sense of more cause to what befell --- i.E., knowledge. (In different words, that what so tragically unfolded ought to have a few cause.
My factor is that, as people, we exist on the ones very exclusive levels: the human emotional one and the higher, spiritually aware one. It is navigating the ones rocky shoals and synthesizing the ones tiers that can be tough. As you recognize, I experience that the whole thing happens for a reason and I consider that properly can come out of ache and trouble. I believe that properly can pop out of this horror (a divided usa pulling collectively, as an example, a realization of what is vital in lifestyles, or even probable a stimulation of the financial system). To see that there is a extra motive can permit us to see that we are frequently actors gambling our roles in the greater drama (even as on the equal time no longer minimizing the human element and ache). And but we can nevertheless sense conflicted.
So how can we respond? Do we stay caught on our human indignant degree? Do we come to be xenophobic and label all "foreigners" or Muslims as terrorists? Or can we see the individual faces of terrorism, together with the seeds of worry and discontent that humankind may proportion?
When we're clear, we recognize that we see the equal forces of negativity and divisiveness -- anger, worry, hate, judgment, and so forth. -- in all extremists, whether Bible fundamentalists, Islamic extremists, terrorists, and so forth. Just as it's miles authentic that now not all Christians or Jews are terrorists due to the fact we see some Christian or Jewish extremists, so is it genuine that not all Muslims are terrorists. Terrorism is a perversion of a perception in God or a Divine who is benevolent. The not unusual denominator amongst all extremists and terrorists, whether or not Islamic, Christian, or Jewish, is the anger/fear/judgment/loss of peace inside. As we understand these things, our expertise can also manual our reaction.
World Healing
Thus, the expertise, spiritually perceptive a part of us may additionally see that underlying difficulty -- the need to heal our own stuff. (And perhaps no longer to run out and "rescue the sector" however to begin on ourselves.) So, is that this one of the problems that these occasions are highlighting? Are we beginning to see extra virtually what is wanted for world recovery? Could or not it's that world restoration (both geophysical and attitudinal) begins on the private degree? Can there be a more cause to what transpired apart from fashionable mayhem? Can we pray for the ones affected and the scenario and visualize recovery (in multiple experience of the word)? However we pick out to respond is our choice and in Divine order.
Nostradamus
On Tuesday, I thought I remembered that Nostradamus had alluded to something taking place in New York. If you're now not extraordinarily acquainted with him, please be aware that Nostradamus lived within the sixteenth Century in France, turned into a physician and astrologer, changed into born Jewish but introduced up Catholic after his family transformed, and is taken into consideration to be one of the quality-known prophets or seers over the centuries. Many, a few years in the past (a good 15-25+ years) I examine his quatrains inside the original French (I turned into a French fundamental and was fluent). His prophecies have been written in quatrains (4-line verses), 100 quatrains to a set (known as a "century"), with a total of 10 centuries (10 centuries of one hundred quatrains every)
Many people quote Nostradamus. Having examine his prophecies in the original French, I can say the he's frequently misquoted and misinterpreted. First of all, he wrote in Middle French, no longer cutting-edge French. The first important step in understanding his paintings is a correct translation. Secondly, he cloaked what he wrote in symbols, so if you translate efficaciously what he wrote, then you definately ought to interpret the symbols. Nostradamus' prophecies are particularly dependent upon proper translation after which interpretation of the symbols.
Nostradamus also made the reader work to recognize his prophecies through splitting up quatrains at the same problem and placing them in exclusive centuries. He can also have exerted those efforts to cloak and obscure his messages partly due to the Inquisition. Having said that, I have three quatrains that I feel pertain to New York (that Nostradamus known as "cité neufue," "new metropolis"). I'll consist of them right here in English translation:
I - 87
Earthshaken fire from the center of the earth
Will make things tremble across the tower of the new city
Two big rocks will make war for a long term
Then Arethusa will redden a new river.
("Arethusa" is a Greek nymph from mythology who modified into a circulation. There may be any other arcane meaning to this phrase. The 2nd line can also be translated as "will make things tremble round the brand new town." The "two huge rocks" can be countries warring. However, please word that this quatrain is not pronouncing warring against every different. They may be joined of their efforts. This one has been widely misquoted, specifically within the beyond few days. No point out of metallic birds or two brothers.)
VI - ninety seven
At forty five tiers the sky will burn,
Fire to approach from the brand new metropolis,
Instantly a massive scattered flame will soar
When one will need the Normans to make evidence.
(This one has been broadly misquoted and misinterpreted as properly. NYC is at forty five levels and "new city" is noted again. Please word that the fireplace is "to method from the new city," no longer approach the brand new metropolis. What I find very good sized about this quatrain is the closing line. "Normans" is commonly interpreted because the French. Given the French colonization and next and cutting-edge involvement in Arabic nations, do they've intelligence or proof to percentage? France has persisted to have involvement in Arabic international locations and has now not usually supported U. S. Efforts within the Middle East. Perhaps they have records to endure in this occasion.)
Indeed, just 5 days after the terrorism we noticed icons of American spiritual negativity, Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson, talk out divisively in an attempt to
in addition poison people's minds and spread the mankind-phobic insanity. They had been absolutely showing us that the seeds of insanity, ethnocentricity, and hatred are in all people and are certainly homegrown in America as properly.
Clearly, terrorism cannot be countenanced and the fragility of the arena can not come up with the money for acts of terrorism and destruction. It is clear to me that we've a desire in how we respond to this week's activities. We can be sellers of high-quality trade or contribute to the polarizing negativity. However, just pointing the finger at other cultures, ethnicities, religions, or differences from how we are will only exacerbate the difficulty. Perhaps it's miles a time to transcend our narrowly held perspectives of ourselves and others and embody our commonality.
