There is definitely a shift in consciousness going on in our
Universe right now. People everywhere are searching for meaning. Searching for
the spiritual connection. That which connect us to the Divine spirit. That
which provides us with the comfort that we are not alone in the Universe.
I read a poignant story last night about a man who lived on the
shore in New York who has lost everything. How he can see his house on the television
but can’t get to it. How he knows he will never be able to live there again.
And I felt a deep sense of empathy for that man who had lived in the same home
for the last 35 years and now all that he knew is gone. What must that feel like?
To have your whole life turned upside down. To have no sense of belonging. No
sense of security anymore.
And then I thought could it be because there is more than
the physical to our lives? Is there more than the material possessions to our
lives? Is every devastation that is
occurring around our world at the moment forcing us to come face to face with
that fact? Are we being asked to find
that inner sense of being? That inner state of peace. Are we being asked to
examine who we truly are as sentient beings?
There are many more stories like the man in NY. Too numerous
to mention. But there are also stories of people becoming more neighbourly.
People who have lived side by side who never spoke to each other before are now
getting to know each other. Helping each other because the everyday conveniences
like electricity have been taken from them. Opening them up to be there for
each other. This is the beautiful side of human nature. The shift in
consciousness that is opened when we share common tragedies. Common stories.
When we are taken out of our comfort zones, we are given the opportunity to
examine who we are and who we are not. Allowing us to open ourselves to compassion,
empathy and love. As is happening in NY, NJ and other parts of the world struck
by the devastation.
There is definitely a shift in consciousness going on now
for many of us to be more in tune with our spiritual and compassionate nature
and I am so happy to be aware of it. A part of it. And I will continue to try
to spread the light as much as I can.
Because as E.B. White says, “Always be on the lookout for the presence
of wonder.”
We are always in the presence of wonder even on our darkest
days. Just as the tragedies are unfolding, a kinship is forming. May the shift in consciousness continue. And may we continue to be aware.
