I continue to find solace and support in the Teachers’ messages. I often use the “book fairy” method–– opening one of their books at random and just reading that page for my daily inspiration. This was my reading for today, from The Next World, p.101-102:

Universal Wisdom: These are difficult times for humans. Everything that is happening all over the world is being broadcast instantly into your home environment. This can be overwhelming. It is important to be able to step away and put things in context. When there is negativity, it is easy to react by being negative also.

I am often distressed by the idea that my country seems to be heading down a Stalin-esque path. There is so much fear everywhere. Fear for what is going to happen. Fear of speaking out against it. Fear of not speaking out.

In the bigger picture, what has happened is a little blip on the radar. In the bigger picture, the fear that led to this outcome is actually the energy disturbance of the nearby Shift. We have been talking about this for some time. People feel uneasy and they need a place to locate that uneasiness. It manifests as fear because the future is an unknown. As a cancer survivor, you understand that the future is always unknown, but not everyone has this perception.

You are asking if there is some way you can use your skills to guide or support healthier change. The answer is Yes and No. You cannot change the minds of those who are not ready. They will go the way they have been going. You may be able to change the minds of some who are on the edge of change.

You cannot move forward with the idea that you can or will make change. That only sets you up to have your ego take over. You can use yourself as a model, of a way to be. It’s not really important how big of a wave this makes. What is important is how many are making this kind of wave. As you have learned, there is a collective wave of change. The small changes can collect into a bigger change. This is the effect you can have on your own.

If you want to have a larger effect, you will have to look for the places where the waves are already moving, and connect to those. You need to be following your own path at the same time. That is what you can do. Follow your own path and your own purpose.

It is important to point out negative behavior when you see it or are exposed to it. And how you do that is very important. You can not become a hater of haters. You have to become a lover of those the haters hate, and even a lover of the haters. Not a lover of the haters’ behavior, but a lover of the haters themselves. You must be a lover. A Love-er. That is your purpose.
